JUDGE INVADES FOE'S "DEN" Patterson, Passing Moore Headquar ters, Refuses Dare and Goes In Judge Patterson "carried the war into Rome" this afternoon when he re fused to take a dare and invaded the 'Moore headquarters nt Broad and Chestnut streets.

Everybody there sat motionless for a moment, as though thunderstruck by this unexpected In vasion. Then several jumped up and shook Judge Patterson's hand. Con ' gressman Moore and Murdoch Kendrlck, .his campaign manager, were not pres ent. One of the Moore men then asked: 'When are you 'going to resign, judge?"

Colonel .McCain ln l0-nl 1'ouucai history this con test will live ns the charter election campaign. It introduces a changed order of things. The new city charter unci the Council of twenty-one will be tried out by the men chosen tomorrow ; unless, of course, a strictly independent mid nonpartisan ticket Is subsequently nominated nnd elected. The methods employed in choosing candidates were strikingly character- istic of each fat'on Judge Patterson is the personal choice of Senator Kdwin H. A'arc. In that sense he is nn individually se lected nnd hand-picked candidate. Mr. Moore is the choice of and was placed in nomination by the committee of one hundred. It is composed of prominent Republican business men and practical politicians, members of the Republican Alliance and Town Meeting party. Vare Dictated Ticket Contrary to precedent. Judge Pat terson was indorsed by the Republican city committee. This committee is domi nated by Senntor Vare, the machine, leader of the city. His word is as po tent In the organization as was ever that of Richard Crokcr in the councils of TammanyHall. Judge Patterson is not only indorsed by the machine orcauUatiou but all the Influence of its thousands of office holders is behind him. Senator are is directing the ficht. Kvcrv candidate on the regular ticket may be said to hae tiecn dictated by Jiini. In ench case the individul was placed on the politics. It. was Republican opposition to Senator Vare's continued control of the party to his own personnl and financial interests, that led to the nomination of Congressman Moore nnd n full Independent Republican ticket. Whatever may be asserted to the con trary Mr. Moore put forth no efforts to secure the place. After he had been repeatedly solicited and personally visited in Washington by a subcommitttee of the one hundred, he decWed to give the matter serious consideration. After three days spent in Philadelphia in which he, sounded the sentiment of leading Republican business men nnd Independents, he de cided to become a candidate. He is not a machine-made, hand-lathed, one-man choice. "Against Contractor Dosses" Roth candidates for the mayoralty are gentlemen of exceptional ability nnd high character. This however has not shielded them from attack. The contest after all Is the arraign ment of a corrupt system rather than of its candidates. It might be embodied in the slogan "The people against the contractor bosses." The principal and conspicuous charge against Judge Patterson is that he is the Vare candidate and the represen tative of a system that he has been selected to perpetuate the control of millionaire contractors over the affairs of the. city from which they have reaped millions In contracts. If he is elected Mayor, his opponents assert in spite of his high professional standing, he will yield to the power and influence of Senator Vare and his or ganization; that inevitably he will give the city a boss-controlled ndmlnlstrn- ' tion similar to the one that Is now in i , ,..t-. .!.,. i T . ,, . , , . , . , . . Judge Patterson's defeat is demanded b? tlle Independents to end Edwin A. I Varc's dictatorship of Philadelphia ; to eliminate the stigma that Philadelphia is "corrupt and contented" under the heel of a boss. Vare Forces on Defensive "V aro leaders charge Congressman ' Moorevvith belug the representative of Senator Boies Penrose; that the pur pose behind the Penrose support of Moore is to wrest control of the city organization from the Vares for his own advantage.

So Say Firemen in Sending Pet to Aquarium Kirenieu of Engine Companj No. ."0, at Park avenue and Cambria strict, are unanimous today in the decision that they do not wnnt an alligator as s: pet. They have just got rid of one. The story had its beginning when Albert Moore, fifteen jears old, of Hninesville, Fla., came to Philadelphia to visit relatives He told the firemen he would give them a pet. Last Friday a big tyx reached tho engin? house. It contained un alli gator. The firemen had expected one about ns long as a man's thumb. 'This specimen wns forty-two inches long nnd sixteen years old. Very soon the firemen found that their pet had a man disposition. The alli gator's constant use of the bathtub, to the exclusion of everybody else, anil her unnmiable ways caused the firemen to send her to the Philadelphia aqua rium, where she now is.

GILBERT " I Man" Correspondent nf the limine robtta ' ltlKer ' Washington. Sept. IS. It may be said on the highest authority now ' available in Washington that Secretary Lansing will not resign. - . William C. Bullitt's revelations of his superior' piivate conversation with I him, in which Mr. Lansing said that 'the league-of-natinns covenant ought to 1 be defeated, will not in any way alter j tiie relations between Mr. Lansing and I President Wilson. I The reason for this is that Mr. Lan- sing did the manly thing ut Paris. When he found himself in opposition 1 to the President he went to him and (old him so. He told him Mibstnn- tiallj whnt he told Mr. Bullitt: pcr- j haps not in just the words Mr. Bullitt I used before the Senate foreign rela- ! tions committee, for Mr. Bullitt has a ' talent for the dramatic, and no story I loses pungency in passing through his mind. I Heat lull an Agreement I Mr. Wilson and Mr. Lansing reached ! their understanding at Paris, and their differences did not prevent the secretary of state being left at Paris to nego 1 tiate the Austrian. Iliilgarian nnd Turk' I ish treaties, a plan which was subse I iiuentl) hanged, parti 011 account of 1 Mr. Polk's health nnd ptfrtly on ac count of the need of reorganizing the State Department. The State Department here is agl- 1 tated over Mr. Bullitt's indiscretions, I The hope of the wisest friends of the I treaty here is that Mr. Lansing will I totally ignore Mr. Itullitt. To deny hf ' testimony in substance would be impos- 1 slble. To issue a statement declaring ' Air. Lansing's present adhesion to the ' league covenant would be to lend "a I certain countenance to a performance j which most persons here regard as in I defensible. I Moreover. Mr;"nVsIirff.'"1lrfrrh"'the, i Senate foreign relations committee, hat? i already declared his support of the 1 treaty except the Shantung provision, Mr. Lansing's Paris attitude and hts piesdit attitude are not irreconcilable. It is one tiling to oppose a proposi tion in process of formation. It is bu other to oppose it after It has reached a certain stage of completion, when its 1 ejection would bring down many other related tilings and cause endless con fusion. Mr. Lansing now supports the league as mini other men do because its adoption is disiimtl 11 choice of evils. Frowns I pon Practice . For Mr. Lansing to resign would be for him to treat Mr. Bullitt altogether too sciniusly and to give a certain -tnmling and eiiciturngi'ineut to the prac tice of a i-untiilt-iitiiil suboidinntc's not ing down Ht.Miogrnphlcnlly the indiscre tions of his siipeiior and piib'i-hlng them to the world. This is a practice tbat has 1,u,nx been' frowned upon, For the S ite fmcigii relati oils com mittee to encomage it was for it to set u piecedent which would be highly embarrassing, if followed b.v its own subordinates or by government employes, generall. II was just another stick of d.winmito thai the Senate committee tossed in the air. In the field of for,, eign relations, the committee has done its reckless vorst. with Ireland. Lgypt and Japan. Sometimes the Senate's airv indiffc.cnce to consequences will be ''"xi.V ..ffe, t of Mr. Bullitt's revelations is (( ,m ,.stcnt. damagiug to .the league, but it is even more damaging to the case that tne opponents 01 tne league have been carefully building up mid for a very good reason. Most 01 the opposition to the league so far uireiT. in Washington has been conservative', Mr. Rullitl'ti opposition is radical. Natural!, the two are not consistent. The opponents of the league set forth that we have been beguiled b.v the craft" of I'lirope und are in danger, if wo enter the league, of being further beguiled, Mr. Bullitt's testiiuoii shows thnt a lot of fools and towards sat around the council tab e at Puns. 'I hesetvvo things are inconsistent. Mr. Bu' .tt h test - ' n,on" is true enough.
