POOL AS HERO MEMORIAL
North Philadelphia to Spend $50,000
In Tribute to Soldiers
A $30,000 swimming pool will be
North Philadelphia's memorial to its
sons who fell In the world war.
This tribute will be constructed as an
addition to the Nlcetown Hoys' Club,
Eighteenth street and Hunting Park
avenue.
For years the club has conducted ii
vigorous campaign to teach cleanliness
and Americanism to children of foreign
born parents Rnd other underprivileged
youngsters. Residents of the section
decided on the pool as the most fitting
memorial to the heroes.
The names of the hundred men and
oue nurse who gave their lives will bo
lettered on the walls of the pool in
mosaic tiles.
A group of North Phlladelphians has
planned u series of events to raise funds
for the memorial. The first will be a
Little Youngsters "Lost" Since Big
Brothers Went to School
The little youngsters of too tender
ugc for learning are haviDg n lot of
trouble these days trying to kill time
while their older brothers and sisters
ure off to school.
Time was during the summer months
when little John or Mary could tag
tlong to play with their not very senior
M-niors after a wild: "Me go to!"
I!ut no amount of "Me go too's" will
persuade either the youthful students
or mother to pack John or Mary along
to m hool.
"John's too little for school." says
mother

The utterances of Judge Patterson
were more forcible than any other de
livered bv him in the campaign nnd
followed n tour of the big organization
ward" in Vnrevillc, where the candi
date was gien an enthusiastic reccp
tion.
"They talk about contractor rule,"
he told the Hoosters. "When I am
Mayor the contractors will not rule
me; 1 will rule the contractors."'
"I would rather have this crowd
back of me than nil the newspapers in
the Cnlted States," the judge continued
while the crowd cheered wildly.
"And with a crowd like this back
of me I can't lose. After 1 urn Mayor,
beginning nut January, my right hand
will go out after those who hnei slan
dered me in this campaign, not "that I
want them, but to stop them from slan
dering Philadelphia and stop dnigglng
the city through the mire.
"They fight the Vares AVhy tdon't
they stand up and light me'
"If a man came to me and wavnted
a fight 1 wouldn't say 'fight the man
down the street.' I'd stand up and
give him a fair tight, and If he licked
mo I would take off my hat to him, nnd
if I licked him I would expect the same
from him."
Rig crowds, as was to be expected,
greeted Judge Patterson on his swing
through South Philadelphia. He made
four speeches for five witrds.
At the meeting nt Hroad street and
Snyder memie for the combined Thirty -ninth
and Forty-eighth words, Sena
tor Vare predicted a big majority for
the judge.
Tie senator took a rap at Congress
man Moore by declaring he had "al
ways been against the navy vard."
Judge Patterson announced, in the
presence of Senator Vare, thab he was
going to be "unbosted as Mayvir."
The biggest meeting addressed by
Judge Patterson was in the 'IVenty
sixth ward, Congressman Vare's home
ward. More than 1000 persons cnowded
into the Last End Republican Club,

Other meetings were in the Hirst
ward, Sixth and Sigel streets, and the
Thirty-sixth ward, Twenty-sixth and

HAS ALL CONVENIENCES
JULIUS KAHN INDORSES
MOORE'S WAR RECORD
Committee Declares Congress
man's Letter Answers Charges
Made by Robins
The Moore i ampaign committee to
day rcoehed a letter from Congress
man Julius Kahn, chairmen of the
House committee on military itilairs, in
which he Indulged Congressman Moore's
wnr record in Congress.
The Moore ( oinmittee said that the
Kahn letter was a complete answer to
the attacks on Mr. Moore which ,hnd
been made by Thomas Robins, chair
man of the I'atterson committee of oue
thousand.
The letter, addressed to Mr Moore,
follows :
"I hine your letter of September 4
nnd note what you say. Without tak
ing the time to look up all of the ipies
tions affecting the war, I feel quite pos
itive that you voted on those questions
just ns I did. I do not recall a single
instnnce where we differed on those im
portant problems.
"In regard to the Hooscelt matter.
I did not vote for the sending of a
oluuteer division under Colonel Roose
velt. In fact, I told the latter when
he discussed the matter with me that
it was n question that the President
could decide without congressional
enactment. After having championed
the selective draft law and fought the
volunteer system, I did not deem lb wise
or advisable to make a special excep
tion for any individual. Such legisla
tion, in my opinion, would have had a
tendency to cause others to propose ex
ceptions, and such an assault on the
basic principles involved would hne
materially weakened the selective draft
law. Therefore T voted aguinst the
provision.
"My recollection is that you voted the
same way for similar reasons."
Congressman Moore, said by Senator
Vare to occupy an' attle as his voting
tesidence here, lives In a modern, well
furnished apartment, with hardwood
floors, electric light and other conveni
ences, at 2G0 South Fourth street.
The dwelling nt 2000 South Broad
street, chosen by Senator Vare as his
voting residence, is sparsely furnished
and without water, telephone or light,
the only illumination being provided
by portable electric lamps, according to
testimony yesterday nt the hearing to
establish Mr. Vare's right to voto In
Philadelphia.
The house In which Congressman
Moore lives is an old-fashioned build
ing. He occupies an apartment on the
third floor. lie is to tako over the
upper lloor of the dwelling, according
to J. P. Tlcrney, his landlord, as soon
as the lease of tiie tenant of the second
floor expires.
Formerly Congressman Moore lived
in the house adjoining, 271 South
Fourtii street, which he owned. He
has lived nt his present address since
last November.
Marble steps lead from the street
level to the entrance door at 2G9 South
Fourth street. There is a striped green
nnd white awning over the doorway,
and window boxes, painted in the same
colors, enhance the appearance of the
Moore domicile, one of the most at
tractive of the houses in the neighbor
hood.
Iloyt suffered a lacerated scalp and
possible concussion of the' brain, Mrs.
Irwin received a broken leg. The ne
groes were arrested by police of the
Twentieth and Buttonwood streets station.
