Bjjfjy !' tfwffrvn pa A, r S 4 iHOORE MAY BACK Congrossman's Talk of Civil Service Cominis-ion's Impor tance Loads to Speculation WEBSTER WANTS TRANSFER Congressman Moore has made it plain n lils supporters that while the next FAUGHTANDRITER u" service commission win. unuer medium, ulll quit work next Saturday if terms of the new eharter. be elected by the new Council, he would like to have a nana ments. n determining the appoint- Ho has indicated he will have such an opportunity if a "sympathetic" Council is elected next Tuesday, lie has also sain that IF control or Council shoiiM rest In the hands of his opponents the intent ot tne new enarter woultl be de feated and civil service held down to the plana of ward and division politics. Today, therefore, politicians were speculating on Moore candidates to be elected to the Civil S'errire Commis sion by the new Council. It is un derstood that Albert Smith Taught, who is active in civil service reform, Is favorably viewed bv Mr Moore. Kltcr Is Suggested Another candidate suggested is Prank M Riter, who was a ciwl service com missioner by appointment of the lato Mayor Blankcuburg. Mr. Kiter has called on Mr Moore t headquarters once or twice and his name was promptly coupled with gossip about the lomnlexion of the commission Horace W. Keilly, secretary of the Town Meet- thirty-one Ohio counties, nnd will stop Ing party and chief aide to C.eorgp'ai, overage daily production of nearly v . vjoies, uas niso peen put lorwnru in this connection. One of the active booms which is being felt by Mooro leaders is that of Director Webster, of whan.es, docks and terries, for n transfer under the Moore administration to the post of director of public works. It has been learned, however, that this boom is meeting with strong opposition in Moore headquarters. Rating Vote .fictloni Interesting in connection with the ap pointments under the Moore administra tion to which "practical" ward leaders will be eligible is the fact that Mr. Moore is having a statistical record made of the vote-getting power of every mj called Moore ward and diision leader in tho city. A complete record along this line of the vote in the primaries is now being compiled. A Bimilar record will be made from the vote cast next Tues day. The two will then be available for comparison and reference The recommendations of ward and di vision lenders in the matter of appoint ments, it was explained, can then be considered in the light of the weight of the "lender" making the recommen dation. This "weight" will be quickly obtained by referring to the "little book." nt vmrso if is knfiwn that Mr. Mooro will not be bound by such tigurcs and recommendations in the matter of cabi net appointments. On that subject, one of his cdose friends said today, Mr. Moore's mind was an "open book." J. D. RYAN BLAMES PROBE ON SOREHEADS Attacks Congressional Subcom- " mittee Investigating Armv .

PEASANTS SAVED FRANCE French Financier Declares Banks Here Overlook Small Investors Heads of great banks in America make a mistake in not keeping in closer touch with small savers, in the opinion, expressed today, by Maurice Royer, of the Banquc de Paris et des Pays-Ras, a noted Trench finuncicr who is here with the eighty-sir Trench, British, Belgian and Italian delegates to the International trade conference. "I have observed while in America," said the French banker, "that there is a lack of co-operation between the great American banks and the small saver or investor. Too many of your large banks refuse to accept small deposits nnd the result is that the small saver is u stranger at your large banking institu tlons. "In France 23.000,000 of tbe-peas-anta, the poor people, made it possible for Frnnco to pull through the war. These small investors hold So per tent of the French debt. "In Franco every large bank has numerous small branches scattered through tho villages and towns.

O RETIRE AND 'W0RK7 BOK TELLS RICH Formor Editor Says Wealthy Should Stop Making Money and Help City BUSIER NOW THAN EVER In a happy oln today, Edward Bote gave members of (he City Club excerpts from his cheery philosophy of ljfe ifnil told of th pleasure he finds, now thnt he has "retired" in giving nil his time; in tne cause ot civic progress. There nre lots ot men in this city, Mr. Bok declared, men successful in a big way, who ought to retire from busi ness, "quit piling up money nnd give their time unselfishly for the benefit ot their fellow men. "If we hud forty such men here," hrj said, "they could get back of 'Humpy' Mborc and could make Philadelphia a Ity we would not have to apologize for vhenever wo travel over the country," During the last three weeks, Mr. Bok asserted, three drives have failed in this city. Two Hospital Drives Fall "The University Hospital campaign, fulled," ho said, "aud medical journals sent forth the news of the failure oven the country. Thr civic campaign failed, nud civic journals made the failure known everywhere. The Erjn Man r Hospital rampulgu failed, and ugniu the ledical journals went forth witli the storj . "Now 1 see iii a New Y'ork paper that the Roosevelt drive here is lag-, glng. Arc we to have another failure, here. Cannot this city be advertised fol ks successes instead ot for rotteu poll-, tics, mismanagement and T. W. W. ism?" Mr. Bok referred to the Philadelphia Orchestra drive, which he is leudiug. "One mun came to me nnd nsked for u contribution to the University IIos iltul drive. I agreed if he would sub scribe to the orchestra fund. "But I don't care anything about music," Mr. Bok quoted his caller a icpljing. "And I don't cure anything nbout sickness," the former editor said ho answered. Compromised ou 10 io 1 i "But I gave him $10,000 for tho hospital and hr compromised by giving me S1000 for the orchestra." "That same man told me he did not; believe in giving to institutions or otgnulzntions which nr.c not self-supporting. "Then cull jour boy buck from' Wil liams College. I told him." continued Mr. Bok. "That is not self-supporting. Neither is Princeton, nor many other colleges and universities. Tho parks here arc not self-supporting. , Neither nre the zoological gardens." The Liberty Bell und the Philadelphia Orchestra, Mr. Bok continued, nre this city's two big advertisements. The or chestra, he said, goes to eighteen cities, is recognized ns oue of the tlncst in tho United States aud us one of tho threo best in the world. Concluding his references to tho Orchestra. Mr. Bok declared: "The Philadelphia Orchestra is ono of the biggest advertising advantages for Pliilndeljiliiu. On every scut sold the Orchestra loses fifty cents, so that when you go to hear a concert jou nre really receiving a gift." Works Harder In.Jtetirement Mr. Bok reverted to his "retirement." during -which, ho said, lie has been working more strenuously than ever be fore in his life. "People cannot understand what they, could do with their time if they gave up business. I like golf. I like horse back riding. But (iod forbid that T sbou'd spend all my time plajlug golf or riding a horse." The tusk of employing leisure timo. nfter retirement -must be approached in the spirit of idealism, Mr. Bok said. Idealism is responsible for nil the pro gressive chnnges In the country, ho . added as he expressed thanks that Pres ident Wilson is au idenlist und thnt the league of uutions is the expression of an ideal. Here is how Mr. Bok summed, up his. ndvice on the proper time to retire to a life of "useful plnj'." "The time to go is when the going is good. Oo when J'ou have enough inonev and when jour mind is still rich and active."
