GIFTTOU.OFP.MAKES
AUDITORIUM POSSIBLE
Provost Smith Says $750,000
Not Sufficient for Opening
School of Mines
i
The $750,000 estate left to the UnL
vernity of Pennsylvania through the
death of Mrs. Mary Irvine last week
will bo ed most likely toward the
erection of a large. auditorium in con
nection with the dormitories, because
the sum is hardly a sufficient foundation
upon which to open n school of mines.
Prorost Edgar Fahs Smith, who an
nounced the gift last Saturday, said to
day;
"The money is available now, and
will be used most likely to build a
much needed auditorium. The will gives
the option of bulTcllng cither an audi
torium or of opening a school of mines,
The generous gift is hardly sufficient
for the latter."
"It's much too early yet for any
definite statement of plans for the erec
tion of the auditorium," said George K.
Nictsche. recorder of the University
"However, an auditorium large enough
to accommodate the growing student
body has been one of the crying needs of
the University. Many plans have been
drawn for such a building, but the Unl
versity has never been able to use them
owing to lack of funds. There have
been suggested sites, but where tho au
ditorium wil actually be placed is a
matter for the future to decide."
John O. Bell, former attorney gen
eral of Pennsylvania, who is a trus
tee of the University, is one, of the
executors of the will. Ho said today
no' plans had yet been made, though it
,1s most likely an auditorium will be
elected.

STOLEN AUTO DESTROYED
Fate of Occupants Unknown'

Plunged Down Bank
Mystery surrounds the, fatf'' of the
occupants of a stolen automobile that
plunged through a wooden fence, down
an embankment and then over a .wall
for a drop of thirty feet to the tracks

- Police of the Manayunk station were
notified yesterday of the presence of

the crew of a shifting engine. When
the police arrived on the scene the au
tomobile was destroyed.
The driver evidently lost control of
tho machine while rounding tho sharp
turn at the top of the incline and the
passengers may have jumped as tho au
tomobile plunged through the fence.
The machine bore a tag belonging to
Samuel J. Karnay, a dealer, of 4400

Belgium Committee of Emer
gency Aid Will Receive Car
dinal at Headquarters
CITY'S WORK IS NOTABLE
One of the features of particular in
terest in the visit of Cardinal Mercier
to Philadelphia will be his reception at
the headquarters of the Belgian relief
committee of the Emergency Aid at i
o'clock on Friday afternoon.
The cardinal will arrive here at noon
and will be escorted from North Phila
delphia Station to the Bellevue-Strat-f6rd
by a group of 350 prominent Phlla
dclphlans. Following luncheon at the Bcllevue
Cardinal Mercier will meet the members
of the Belgian relief committee and of
the executive committee of the Emer
gency Aid. He will express the grati
tude of the Belgian people' for the' help
Philadelphia, through the Belgian relief
committee, extended to them during the
war.
Philadelphia played a notable part
in the fight to prevent starvation in
Belgium.
With the beginning of the Emergency
Aid work in 1014 a Belgian relief com
mittce was organized to send help to
the destitute people who so gallantly
stopped the German invasion and ef
fectively held the enemy line for three
weeks.
Relief Ships Sailed From Here
The appeal that yas sent to all the
world to help the Belgians met jffith
o ready response 'from the citizens of
Philadelphia, who during the firstfivc
months completely filled two belief ships
that left this port and assisted in filling
two others.
Totalling contributions for the five
years from October, 1014, to October,
1010, more than $500,000 was con
tributed to Belgium, the first three
months of organization in 1014 showing
contributions of $24,324.50. From that
time appeals brought In large amounts.
During the year of 1015 more thau
$100,000 was contributed and the third
ycor this amount was more than dou
bled. Philadelphia's "mercy ship" .left port
in November of 1014, carrying 1000
tions of food. In January following
the fifth relief boat to leave this port
for Belgium carried more than $75,000
worth of food and other needed sup,
plie. One of the very interesting branches
of the work was the increasing oi Amer
ican interest in the starving children.
By February, 101", the Belgian Relief
Commission, of which Herbert O. Hoov
er vas the nead, asueci aid lor tne
million and a quarter starving children
of Belgium. Public interest was easily
roused by the little stories that began
to arrive of the conditions under which
these children were living, separated
from parents, starving, cold and with
out the shelter of home, many of them
carried Into the enemy country.
Protest at Mass Meeting
A protest meeting was held in the
Academy of Music in January, 1017,
against the deportation of Belgians to
German territory and the Interest
aroused resulted in a decided increase
in contributions, $3021.85 coming in
during the week following.
By February of that year Philadel
phians had contributed to the care of
1478 of the destitute children between
the ages of two and seventeen years.
In March the help of the Chamber of
Commerce was enlisted, and Philadel
phia was well on Its way to sending
relief to 100,000 Belgian children.
One of the most interesting branches
of work in which the committee en
gaged was the Cardinal Mercier Fund.
From $10,000 to $15,000 a year was
sent by the, Belgian relief committee to
the Cardinal's personal fund, which hr
used in helping those cases with which
he personally came in contact.
The "Hospital' de Philadelphie" for
Belgian officers at Cannes was main
tained entirely by contributions re
ceived from thjs city, and hospital sup
plies were furnished from local con
tributors, In May, 101 1, the first consignment
of Belgian lace was received here, the
result of months of labor under Germai
guarding when the women Vfere permit
ted to do fancy work, but 'not allowed
to engage In a work of Avar. The first
sale netted' $3500 and other sales fol
lowed so that 1524 Walnut street opened
a lace shop In December, 1017, selling
more than $5000 worth during the first
eek.

in helping the Belgians the work ex

Since the armistice the work has con
tinued with money contribution!

ON CAPITOL HILL
Shore Conferences Outline the
Changes to Bo Made Follow
ing Primary Fight in State
PENROSE TAKES A HANC
A shake-up, affecting hundreds otem-
ployes under the Sproul administration
is shortly expected on Capitol Hill in
Harrisburg.
. According to Penrose state leaders,
who have been conferring with the
senior United States senator, Governor
Sproul will be urged to displace all
"holdovers" from the Brumbaugh ad
ministration and replace them with
men representing the victorious factions
in the many primary contests which
have been held throughout the state.
Pending the outcome of these primary
contests, the Governor has held up a
host of appointments. Departmental
heads were appointed by Governor
Sproul, it was explained, but, in most
.cases, the subordinates remained as
they were under the Brumbaugh admin
istration. Penrose state leaders are
insisting that wholesale changes be made
on the basis of the results in the re
cent primaries all over Pennsylvania.
These matters were discussed at a
Penrose conference held yesterday In
Atlantic City. Among those who talked
things over with Senator Penrose were
Republican State Chairman Crowt Max
Leslie, leader of Allegheny county, and
James F. Woodward, of McKecsport,
secretary of internal affairs.
Those who met Senator Penrose said
that the statewide plan, with the state
appointments as a basis, is to prepare
for the state campaign of mext year.
Then candidates for auditor j general
and state treasurer are to be nominated.
In this connection it was said that
Auditor General Snyder already has his
lightning rod ni for the nomination for
state treasurer to succeed Harmon M.
Kephart.
Other leaders feel that these nomina
tions should go to new men in the party
organization. In addition there is the
fact of Senator Penrose's candidacy
to succeed himself which will be an is
sue next year. The Penrose state ticket
is to be the subject of a series of con
ferences after the matter of state ap
pointments has been put under way.
It ia believed that the Governor will
consider both the Penrose and Vare ele
ments in the sharing of Philadelphia's
appointments under the state adminis
tration. MORE FALSE ALARMS
Police Investigate Several Which
Occurred During the Night
Folice investigation is being made as
to the cause of recurrent false njarms
of fires, turned In from various points

train, which consisted of the engine
and thirteen cars, was William An
drews, of Norristown.
The freight train on uhich Petzhold

TENANTS PREPARE
Renters Plan Further Legal Ac
tion if Attorney General
Fails Them
to
LANDLORDS MAKE READY
Tenants and landlords are preparing
for a legal battle following whatever
decision is announced by Btnte officials
after officers of the Tenants' Protective'
Association confer with Attorney Gen
eral Schoffer nt IIarrlburg tomorrow,
Mr. Sclmffer announced at his Ches
ter home todnv that, despite his sym
pathy with tenantR who are victims of
rent gougers. he hns been unable tj find
nnv law under which the state can
help the tenants.
The association officers, however, sa.v
they have proof of such flagrant cases
lot profiteering and criminal connivanco
I between certain building associations
I nnd speculators that Mr Schaffer will
find he is able to "reach" the gougers.
, Tenants Plan Action
On the other hand, if he can take no
action, they say thej will pay no at
tention to any notices sent by profiteer
ing landlords unless the landlords agree
i to a form of lase approved by the ten
file in the ofhrc of Sheriff Uansley, but
no effort is being made to evict the
families, pending the outcome of the
dispute between landlords and tenants.
Virluallv etcry real estate firm in the
central section of the city has been ap
proached 011 the subject of leasing offices
to the Tenants' Protective Association,
the tenants say, and has refused to enter
into anj such coutraet. Temporary
offices nre being letained in Evans's
studio, 1B2S Chestnut street.
Iaijer Gels Heady
Kichaid 1'. McSorley. counsel for the
tenants, is preparing their side of the
legal battle that is apparently sure to
take place. He and Isaac L. S. Smink
and Michael .1. Conway will repiesent
the tenants at Harrisburg tomorrow.
They go ns representatives of more
than 20,00(1 tenants who have joined
the association, they say.
They propose to show that moie than
20.000 houses aie vacant in Philadel
phia. These houses, they charge, are
unavailable to tenants because the own

orbitant figures.
C. ,1 Hepburn, counsel of the Phila

have admitted the realtors' knowledge
of the fact that writs of eviction arc

GOUGING EVIDENCE
Good Afternoon!
This is Monday, September 22nd
and marks the
Formal Opening
of our
Fall and Winter season
with brand new stocks
of Suits and Overcoats
for men of all years
The characteristic features of these '7
new stocks of Suits and Overcoats are
the beauty of the patterns, the sound,
solid worth of the making, the in
dividuality and distinction of the style
lines. t
g
J Just as soon as the mills were ready
to show the products of their looms,
we were there to make our selections
and we secured the ve"ry choicest as
sortments that have been' manu
factured for this season.
To that foundation of fine fabrics
and beautiful patterns we have added
the distinction of our own tailoring-.
We have wrought out in our own way
the style tendencies of the day and
have given our own individuality to
every line, seam, and curve from the
tip of the newest lapel to the hang of
the latest flare effect in Suit, and in
Overcoat. r
If The models are as numerous as are &
the tastes of the men of this well
dressed Community. There are, of
course, the fine, conservative Over-
coat models and Suit models for the "
substantial citizen who wants char
acter as well as conservatism in his J
clothes. There are fashionable mod- r
els for men of development who be-
lieve in the spirit of the newest lines '
adapted to their build and designed
for their comfort.
J And there are the newest of the
new models for the youth that will be
served and wants what it wants and
will have it.
I Altogether, we are showing you
this season a notable Fall Stock of
Suits and Overcoats in which you
will find the reliability and distinc
tion which have grown to be syn
onymous with our clothes.
