Lane Concedes v
Big Moore Gain
Continued Krom I'nice One
place now held by Judge Patterson, per
suaded Daid I.avis to resign as sec
retary of Mr. Moore's committee of
one hundred.
As to La!s
"Thnt'supuny ." he exclaimed. "That's
ton trivial to desene comment. Lnvis
is a nice young num. He lues given
his reasons for resigning. They can
hnie nothing to do with judicial hope.s.
particularly the siiccssinn to .lodge
Patterson because thuUs pre eniptcd."
I'ncle Dave took the trouble to ex
plain that under Pennsylvania law (.Iov
ernor Sproul will fill the vacancy when
j .fudge Patterson leaves
the bench toi
i become Mayor, if he does.
The I.niis statement, that he cannot
support Congressman Moore, because he
is n Penrose-IJrundy uindidate, con
firms what I have said before," I'ncle
Dave resumed.
"Neither side wanted Hampy at the
outset, because they knew if he was
nominated and elected he would be for
Hampy Moore.
"The Penrose Independents diil not
want him any more than he wanted him.
They wanted Acker. They refused to
consider .Moore. They were afraid of
him up to the time they decided to
throw Acker, whereas we were willing
to take Hampy and take a chance.
"(irundy nnd Penrose are close
friends fjrundy is nn able, aggressive
fighter. I do not believe his friendship
for Moore, howeter, is going to do the
latter nuy good with the labor vote, for
Mr.. (Jrundy does not stand well, as 1
understand it, with the labor people."
I'ncle Davy still maintains that, log
ically. Judge Pattersou should have
been the choice of the Independents and
the reformers, if thej were looking for a
real progressive.
Judge Helped "100"
"The judge helped to bring tlio com
mittee of one hundred into existent e
in the charter-revision fight." he con
tinued. "He refused to appoint Ned
Patton when we asked that he lie
named He was against us on the
small Count ii issue. He Iibh said he is
opposed to contractor street cleaniiig.
"I believe the whole ticket Is going to
win. I would not say that Tuesday s
registration has given me any encour
agement, nor would I say it has shaken
my confidence in the result.
i'We nre going to have n- fight, but
that is not a new thought. We knew
'that when Hampy Moor? got into the
race,"
"I'ncle Dave" has become an en
thusiastic supporter of Daniel Wade,
the machine candidate for sheriff, not
Ioug since a candidate on a Democratic
slate.
"Wade has converted me," he said.
"His statement was a very reasonable
production. It wns not the same in
print as when I saw It first. The orig
inal draft commented upon the fact
that Mr. Moore voted for n Democrat
when Cleveland ran for President. 1
did not see that in the newspapers."

DEPT. L.
HADPONFK&D, N. J,
DEBTS WILL BE PAID
lloberl Andrew Mayor, the Knglish-
itian iho came to this city recently,
posed as n captain with seven military
decorations and was arrested Tuesday
charged with defrauding two hotels here,
collapsed in City Hall today following
his discharge by Magistrate Pennoek.
The prosecutor, Miss Marie Wale,
proprietor of the Colonial Hotel, 143
West Coulter street, Oermantown, with
drew the charge, on finding that the
itritish Patriotic Fund expected to take
care of the man's debts, and that Mayor
was a victim of shell shock and gas
while iii the British army.
Immediately on leaving the court
Mnyor wont to another room. While
he was being questioned, he suddenly
collapsed and fell to the floor. He re
mained in an unconscious condition for
fifteen minutes. After he revived, he
was taken to the Tniversity Hospital,
where he will rest for n few days.
Dr. S. P. Iloss. treasurer of the
British Patriotic Fund, which expects
to advance the money to pay all
Mayor's debtors, said that Major's
nctions and final collapse was the re
sult of gass poisoning he received in
France, Mayor spent two years in
continuous service with the London
Hide Brigade,
"On account of his condition," Dr.
Boss said, "the man wns utterly ir
responsible. It is impessible to an
ticipate and provide In advance for an
nttact of this nature."
It seems that after Mayor was
wounded he spent some time in a hos
pltal. part of which time he was en
tirely out of his mind. Following his
discharge Irom the army he obtained
a position in n shipyard in Scotland as
a rivetter Later Major came to
America to hunt employment.
After appealing to the United States
shinning board, he was given a position
at Hog Island as a riveter. He wns !
holding this position at the- time of his
arrest. After his recovery he expects
to go back to the shipyard and earn
enough to pay back to the British Pa
triotic Fund the money advanced to
pay the Colonel Hotel SR9 and the Adel
phia Hotel about S77.

"COST CITY $1,000,000"
Charges that Senator Vare worked
against Philadelphia granite cutters and
a statement that Judge Patterson, can
didate for Mnyor, had rendered a de
cision iu favor of the cutters but re
fused to compel the director of public
works to live up to the law. were con
tained In a letter received today by
Murdoch Kendrlck, campaign manager
for Congressman Moore.
The letter was from John O. AValsh,
business" agent of the Philadelphia Gra
nite Cutters' Union, and Thomas P.
MeShea, business agent of the Journey
men Stone Cutters' Association ot North
America. ,
This situation, they wrote, 'results in
a cost to the city of $1,000,000 "more
than it would have cost if the judge
had enforced the law."
A summary of the chaigcs as made
by Walsh and MeShea follows :
"In consideration of the fact thnt
Judge John M. Patterson, his cam
paign committee and his political back
ers have made labor one ot the princi
pal issues in .the present contest for the
Republican mayoralty nomination, per
mit us to place before you some
pertinent facts concerning the renl labor
issue in this contest with the hope that
you may be able to assist us in placing
these facts before our fellow-workers
and the general public.
"Our case, which is largely n mntter
of court record in this county, concerns
itself witli an old ordinance for the pro
tection of Philadelphia labor. This
ordinance was the law of the city since
1804 and was never questioned until
the Vnre interests became dominant in
the Smith administration. The ordi
nance provided thnt all ,'"' "f": nl
the erection of municipal buildings
should be cut in Philadelphia and sup
plemented another ordinance which pro
vided that only American citizens should
be employed.
Insisted on Iaw
The wisdom of the ordinance was
not questioned until Contractor , are
secured the contra."! for the Southern
Boulevard nnd looked around for sub
contractors to do the stone work. I he
contract had been awnrded on the basis
of Philadelphia wages. i oniruviu.
Vnre, however, women uic lou... "
could be made by Having iiir -...".
work done at the quarries. ve un
tested. Contractor Varc offered us n
fifty-fifty division of the work. We
refused this offer, however, nnd insisted
that the work be done in accordance
with the law. The city was pay i..b ....
the work on the basis of Philadelphia
wages and we insisted thnt nil the work
should be done in l'lninueipnia. v u..-
tractor Vare then dropped uic mnuer.
, "But then the administration despite
its pledges to enforce the law for the
protection of Philadelphia labor, started
to attack it. Director Dalesman
(hanged spl-cificntions to break the old
law. We 'took the matter to court. It
tame before Judge Patterson.
"Judge Patterson in n most remnrk
..mn .looisinn nzroed thnt the law was
on our side and that the director of
....Ml,, works, had violnte'd the law. But
despite this Judge Patterson refused to
decide in our favor, refused to compel
the director to live up to the law, re
fused to enforce the law nnd did till
this on the pretense that he was trying
tg save the city Siru.UUU. lie emmieo
it would tost .rliiu,000 more. for tlio city
to enforce the law than to violate it,
and so the judge sanctioned the viola
tions of the law. '
Judge's "Krror" Reversed
"Justice Mestrezat in the Suprcme'
Court reversed Judge Patterson's 'man
ifest error" in snnctioniig violations of
the law. And the manifest error of
Judge Patterson in claiming that it
would save the city $153,000 to set aside
the law which the contractor boss
wnuted set aside, has also been amply
demonstrated. Because Judge Patter
son refused to compel the director ot
public works to live up to the law, the
work on which Judge Patterson said he
could save the city $155,000 will cost
the city ?1, 000,000 more than it would
hnve cost if the judge had enforced the
law.
"This $1,000,000 additional cost of
the new Library Building on the Park
way Is the price the city must pay for
the refusal of Judge Patterson to enforce
the law against Varc-controlled city
officials who broke tho law that Varc
wanted broken."
