YORKSHIP VILLAGE VISITED
"The nnllnnal government slmulrl in

in the cities without delay, n
revolutionist nml Unlohevikl who do
sire rind intend the ilestrnetinn of mod

clared CotiRressninn OorKO H. Tink
hnm. of Massachusetts, here today.
Representative Tlnlihnm pnko hn
fore the American Civic Association, in
convention here, inlcinir the opinion
that' hetter livins conditions promote
better citizens. Ke urged prompt en
actment by Coticrci of his hill pro
vides for the creation In the Depart
ment of Labor of n bureau of houslnc
and living conditions.
He declared the United States Is tiie
only """ "f ,np Rm,t i111'0113 ciiKnged
in the war which has not taken definite
steps to relieve the vitnl housing prob
lems and to study living conditions in
urban communities.
Desire for Home Instinctive
The desire for a home, next to the
desire for food, Is one of the deepeM
of bomnn instincts." the cougrcssninn
said. "The government should Interest
Itself particularly nl this" time in this
great- social and industrial problem.
"t'nder the terms of my bill the pro
posed bureau will Iip charged with in
vestigating the bousing and living con
dttions of the industrial population of
the I'nited States. The bill aims to
make economically practicable the elim
ination of slums, the improvement of
living conditions, the reduction of the
cost of construction of dwellings and
the financing of extended homo-building
operations without federal appropria
tions." Members of the association visited
Yorkship Village today as part of the
three-day program of the convention.
The trip wns made to show the dele
gates progress that has been ninde in
and about Philadelphia in projects for
housing betterment. Though Yorkship
Village, the model town built during
the war to house workers of the New
York Shipbuilding Co 's plant, was the
principal point of inspection, a round
about, route was taken to show the del
egates other modern housing operations.
Luncheon was waiting the visitors
when they arrived nl Yorkship Village,
Dr. James Ford, of Harvard T'ni
versity, presided at this afternoon's
session of the convention, held in the
gymnasium at. Yorkship Village.
Wants Town for Shipbuilders
Flectus D. Litchfield, the architect
and town planner of Yorkship Village,
said :
"The town was built for shipbuilders
and not as a veal estate speculation;
it should be for shipbuilders. Today the
population is 50 per cent shipworkers
and 50 per cent, outsiders. It is natural
that the local officers of the New York
Shipbuilding Corporation should resent
this.
"The government has decreed that
all government housing must be sold.
The integrity of Yorkship A'illage must
be maintained. Congress does not di
rect how the houses shall be sold or to
whom. There are two plans .for the
sale of Yorkship. One is that it lie
sold directly to the New lork Ship
building Corporation, which may then
operate it ns n company-owned town,
or in any other fashion it may elect, or
the village may be sold directly to a
Yorkship Village company," which will
operate it for and sell it to its inhabi
tants, not piecemeal, but as a whole."
B Antrim Ualdeman, recently ap
pointed city planner of Pennsylvania,
discussed "City and Regional Planning
Under Pennsylvania Law."
Wharton School
Building Burned
Continued from I'nicf One
blankets, while students and professors
saved others by carrying them out of
the building. Many records, however.
were destroyed, and perhaps constitute
the most serious damage caused by the
blaze.
In the basenieut of the building are
a number of lockers, in which students
stored some of their clothes and valu
ables. For these the men made a mad
scramble in the smoke.
At the I'nivorsity Hospital, about a
block from the fire, physicians and
nurses had little difficulty in keeping the
patients quiet, although it was the
second fire scare there todaj.
Kai'ier in the morning, a patient,
disregarding the rules, had smoked a
cigarette and tossed the lighted butt
from n window. It set fire to an
awning.
An approximate estimate of the dam
age done by the fire was given by Dr.
fJeorge McKailand, professor of indus
try nnil accounting at the Wharton
School. "Riitrnuce records to the
Wharton School since 1010 were de
stroyed." the professor said, "that is.
with the exception of this last ycar'sr
whien were rescued hy students. All
the correspondence is gone am. .'50,000
quiz books which were stored in the
basement were ruined either by lire or
water."
"The office of Dr. Herbert W. lies'.,
professor of advertising at the Whar
ton school, was destroyed chairs and
desks were ruined, valuable papers
soaked, nnd several inultigraphs were
made useless liy tiie names.
Elizabeth and Julia Price, of Oer
mnntown. stenographers at the schol,
probably owe their lives to Professor
McFarland, who found the two girls
wandering through the smoke-filled
halls, bewildered, nnd led them to
safety.
LOGAN HALL SCENE

Logan Hall, scene of today's fire at
thn University of Pennsylvania, has
experienced other fires in its history,
four of which were serious.

Admits Certain Conditions at
"Model" Institution, but De
nies It Is "Unsanitary"
against'new building now
Members of the department of super
intendents and of the Hoard of Kdti
cation admit conditions at the. School
of Observation and Practice, Thirteenth
and Spring Harden streets, are not as
they should be. nut They will not ad
vise the erection of n new building
there at present.
Jn answer to a statemnt issued by
the Parent -Teachers' Association of the
school, claiming the "model" school is
unsanitary and poorly lighted, Dr. John
P. (iarber said today '.
' "Our problem is citywide and we
hnve tn take mi first the most urgent
conditions. The School of Observation !
and Practice is not unsanitary. It i.
however, poorly lighted and naturally
it is not adapted to school needs as
nmrh im it should he. It consists at
present of seven buildings that formerly
were homes nnd were remodeled by the
board to meet school needs. We do
need a new nnd modern building there
and it will be put up as soon as more
urgent problems are settled by1 the
board."
Dr. George Wheeler, associate Super
intendent in chnrge of higher schools,
said: "We never apply the word
'model' to that school. Put if we did it
would be in reference to the method of
teaching, not to the building and equip
ment. Of course, it isn't modern, and
conditions would be vastly improved if
we had a new building. But it. is not
such a pressing need as the need for
other school buildings."
The Parent-Teachers' Association is
sued the following statement after the
meeting yesterday :
"In view of the fact that the Board
of Education Wis authorized a survey of
school conditions in Philadelphia nnd is
forming a program for the construction
of new buildings and the repair of old
ones, the Parent -Teachers Association
of tills school feels that the time is
now ripe to urge the long-delayed con
struction' of a modern institution to
house this so-called model school.

FINAL PLEA TODAY
Committee Prepares Appeal to
Independents to Thwart
Treachery by Voting
TWINING MAY REMAIN
Congressman Moore's special appeal
to those independent;) who stuck by him
through "pitch and fire" to stand by
him to the finish will be sent out today
from the headquarters of the Moore
1'nltod Republican campaign committee.
This appeal will call on Independ
ents to eliminate all possibility of "last
minute" treachery, particularly to the
cnuncilmauic candidates, by voting their
full strength on election day next Tues
nay, not only for Moore for Mayor, hut
for all his associates.
The appeal wns authorized at a meet
ing of 100 Independent lenders in Mr.
Moore's office Tuesday. U will be
finally drafted and approved today at a
meeting of the resolutions committee,
of which Franklin Snencer Edmonds Is
chairman. Other mi tubers are Powell
Evans. Arthur it. Lea, John Hampton
Barnes and Ernest L. Tustin. with John
Walton, chnirmiin. and Howard R.
Sheppnrd. vice chairman of the com
mittee of one hundred, as members ex
officio. Alliance In Meet
This afternoon n special meeting of
the Republican Alliance will be held at
headquarters, 14..0 South Peun Square.
at 2 o'clock. Alliance workers in every
ward and division in tl lty will be
called on to work for the largest pos
sible vote for nil candidates on the Re
publican ticket. Toda; will he nnother
field day for the Moore leaders in the
marshaling nnd drilling of a host of
voters for an overwhelming victory next
Tuesday over the "submarine oppo
nents of the new city charter.
Congressman Moore and his colleagues
will close their speaking tour of the city
tonight with a mns meeting in the
Town Hall of Germantown. rrom now
on the efforts of the campaign lenders
will be devoted to the detail work of
insuring the largest possible vote.
May Retain Twining
An interesting development in the
cabinet gossip situation is that llliam
S. Twining, director of city transit, may
be asked to continue in office for a more
or less brief period after Mr. Moore be
comes Mayor. ,.
If this possibility works out according
in .-.recent indications, then Director
Twining will be the only director now
I serving under Mayor Smith to hold over
serv
into the next administration, i ins noes
not mean, it 'wns explained, that Mr.
Moore will not have his own choice for
director of transit. It appears, how
ever, that Mr. Twining ma." be called
on to remain in office until such time
as the various technical links in the
i,ni nf eitv transit nroblems are con
nected up' with the rapid transit plans
of the next administration. The present
formative state ot ine ininsn com
pany's latest proposals is a factor in
this situation.
Congressman Moore s interest in the
possibilities for civil service under the
new city charter was emphasized yes
terdnv bv a conference he held with
Robert M. Griffith, president of the
present Civil Service Commission. The
congressman explained the talk he hnd
with Mr. Griffith with the statement
thnt he had been making inquiries into
the civil service situation. Moore lend
ers said, however, that Mr. Moore had
no thought of urging the reappointment
if Mr. Griffith by the new Council.
Would Advertise City
A rousing Republican rally in lonah
Hall. Twenty-eighth street and Co
lumbia avenue, was nddressed,last night
bv Mr. Moore and the other candidates.
The congressman discussed plans for
the nronosed municipal rediftioii and
disposal plant and advocated im adver
tising campaign for Philadelphia.

of other cities in the manufacture of
textiles, in shipbuilding, in locomotive
construction and in other important in

know about it. We hnve held our light
under the bushel too long."
On the sunject of street cleaning and
garbage disposal Mr Moore snid :
"If this work can be done cheaper
by the city, than under the present s.s
tem it will be done. There will be no
favoritism in awarding contracts. Like
the policeman, who will also be free

DROP THE HAMMER,"
MOORE ENEMIES TOLD
McCain Advises Dissatisfied
ing, Grab a Horn and Parade in Broad
Harmony Highway
By GEORGE
If the ultra-nnrtlsans In tho llennh-
lican party would stop "knocking" It
would be n good deal better for the
party.
J. Hampton Moore has laid out n
wide avenue' of harmony down which
every HepuMienn can inarch, and there
will be uo special comment if any lender
or set of leaders feels disposed to. hug
llin curb on his particular side, no long
as lie is in the procession.
Likewise, it doesn't necessarily follow
that because Congressman Moore, ns
the representative of one wing of
the party, has won the nomination
ward leaders or their lieutenants who
fought each other to a Rush should link
arms, weave garlands for each other's
brow and inarch down the middle of the
road with paeans of peace on their lipn.
Red-blooded men don't do, that sort
of thing. It may read all right In fic
tion, or it may be the dream of some
sponge-headed idealist, but men who
have fought a good fight, who have
given and received hard blows In the
politicnl arenn, are not going to fall on
each ojjicr's necks the day after.
Primary Now Dead Issue
But there is no reason for lighting
the primary1 battle eternally. It is a
dead issue. The people have, spoken
in the court of public opinion nnd the
judges have certified their verdict. Mr.
Moore, candidate for Mavor, is pledged
for the square deal. He 'has Invited
former opponents to go along nnd march
down the avenue of politicnl harmony.
They can parade by wards, or divisions,
or ns individuals. The thing todo is
to get iu line.
Stop "knocking": also nagging.
If any regular Republican, who feels
so badly injured that he must strag
gle away from the nvenue of hnrmony,
down a by-path and into the bushes to
nurse his sores and between times throw
rocks nt some particular candidate on
the ticket to ease his mind. I do not
think anybody will try to stop him.
Because he will be the only sufferer in
the end. Even if he is. himself, a
candida'te for Council on the regular
ticket. And thnt is a condition that
prevails in one of tiie senatorial disj
tricts.
It is well tn recall to the attention
of those who contemplate an attempt to
hamstring any particular candidate on
the regular ticket, whether he is a friend
of Senator Vare's or a supporter of
Congressman Moore's, that while Mr.
Moore has repeatedly declared his pur
pose of giving a fair deal, he has also
explicitly stated thnt the friends of the
ticket will be his friends in the coming
four years, nnd its enemies his enemies.
This cannot be regarded as a threat.
It is n statement of fact. It is square
deal politics J. Hampton Moore has
been honest enough to come out before
election and declare his policy in this
respect. lie has not whispered it be

Doctor Baldy Says Action
Against Doctor Daily Is Duty
as State Official
DOESN'T CARE WHO IS HURT
Denying the claims of osteopaths that
his fight against Dr. Philip Dally, an
osteopath, Sixty -second nnd Market
streets, who was convicted yesterday of
practicing medicine without a license,
was inspired by anything hut n sense
of duty. Dr. .7. M. Baldy, head of the
state medical licensure board, today
stated he had no personal feelings in the
mntter.
'jl am a state government official."
said Doctor Baldy, "and have to act ac
cordingly. I have no personal feelings
agnin't Doctor. Daily or anybody, and
I don't care a hang whether of not I
hurt any particular doctor,' feelings.
The lnard appointed to see that the
public is properly treated and served.
"We nre not against osteopathy, or
drugless therapy of any kind. In fact,
the hoard was instrumental -in having
the state establish licensures for the
chiropractors, neuropaths, masseurs nnd
so on. For the establishment of fcuch
licensures the board is solely respon
sible. "Osteopnths feel that drugs are un
necessary and that they have a sub
stitute, and they appeal to the public
on thnt ground They feel that they hnve
something valuable in therapy. The
board believes in osteopathy as osteo
pathy, but that it is only a part of that
which helps the community, when ill.
"Osteopaths are getting ambitious
nnd want to have the whole thing. As
a matter of fact they are one small
part of the healing arj.
"Personally. I think osteopathy is
a good thing, that it can do things
which medicine, drugs add surgery can
not do."
Doctor Baldy pointed out that yes
terday, in the Daily trial, osteopaths
claimed they dealt in the teachings of
drugs since 1000. He says that this
is only partly true. Osteopathic courses
pointed out to their students the way
drugs are used in certain diseases nnd
then 'make comparisons, showing how
osteopathy may be used in place of
drues. and condemn the use of drugs.
"The whole truth," continued Doctor
Baldy, "is that osteopaths do not rec
ognize the fact that they- are onh a
small part In the healing art. They
want their own board ana no not want
te, Im vnleil bv the common DOHrd.
"If the present board is not satis
fnetnev .1nt the state appoint a now
hoard, but have one board only, hvery
practitioner should be qualified to make
a correct diagnosis. Osteopnths should
be doctors first and then make osteop
athy a special Issue."
Doctor Baldy compared nome osteo

No leader or division worker can plead
Ignorance on that score.
Pledged to "Little Fellows"
Another distinguishing feature of
Congressman Moore's campaign, nnd it
Is a strikingly new one, is thnt ho
lias pledged himself to stand hy the
"little fellows," the division lenders,
who. after all, are the men who give
the ward leaders all the power they
possess. And it is a statement thnt
npplies equally to all workers. Para
phrasing a Biblical phrase. "As the
precinct worker deals so shall ho hd
dealt with."
I know there is n disposition to
douht ; there is here nnd there n sneer
ing cynicism about pre-election pledges
that hns been rrepted as a result of
broken faith, shattered promises nnd
political confidenco games in the past.

basis upon which n voter can accept
him.
An independent who voted for Mr.
Moore nt the primaries and who neg
lects to vote for him at the regular
election, either through indifference or
through the mistaken and assininc idea
that he fulfilled his duty at the pri
maries, is ns false to the ticket which
lie helped to nominate, as a candldntc
on the ticket who would deliberately
knife i fellow candidate whom he dis
liked. , )"
The big leaders among the regular
Republicans have "declared in" for
Congressman Moore. They nre sports
men. They arc willing to take h'is
word. It is the small caliber, smooth
bore, uarrow-visioued worker who,
would take the other course. A hrond
guage man admires the spirit of a fac
tionnlist who, even while cursing the
luck thnt went against him, can, never
theless, stand four-square and declare
that, notwithstanding, he will, support

Smiling Walker B. Webb, Fix
ture in City Hall for Past
20 Years, Seeks Living
TO TELL "SECRET" LATER
"If you want me to tell you who I
think was the best Mayor I ever met,
come around after the first of the year."
ald Walker B. Webb, diplomat, arbi
trator, and messenger iu the Mayor's
office for the last twenty years, who is
about to retire from the field of politics.
And he exhibited a characteristic
cautiousness of statement which his loug
term of service in the city's politicnl
beehive' has stamped Indelibly upon
him.
"However Ilampy Moore got me this
!oh twenty years ago when he was sec
retary to Mayor Ashbridge," said
"ebb. "and "I'm leaving here for only
one reason and that's because I got to
make more money. I'm goiug in the
cal estate business. 4
"I've seen lots of interesting tilings
during my twenty years here, and I've
met all kinds of people, nnd I think
I know now how to run a city, and it's
all done me lots of good but it don't
n'ing ine my bread nnd butter, I,iv
ng's gone up so high that my salury
can't keep up with it." '
Webb is known to freqhenters of the
hnll as the real Mayor of tho 'city,
Mayor" Webb knows all the munici
pal officeholders for the last "thousand"
years, and "when they go ajvayfor
four years and then come, bacc with a
new administration," says Webb, "I
still know 'em, And it makM them
feel nt home again toTtnow that I re
member 'em.
"Mayors hnve come and gone, but
I've stuck along to watch 'm. And
whatever you say, you can't say I
hnven't been loyal to- my office. Whep
a man comes in here who Isn't friendly
with the administration, he always finds
ine courteous, whether he is or not, And
that's why I got about a million
friends."
Webb is a high school graduate of
Washington. D. C. He served first as
messenger at the State House in Har
rlsburg "Dave Martin took me there,"
hn explained, "Then he entered the
Mnvorts office here and has been top
sergeant to u string of, mayom over
since. I
Webb's smile is ns bright ajt the pol
ish on the Mayor's handrail that keeps
unwelcome visitors out of the office,
and his philosophy of living .is just us
nappy as ins smile.
"You got to work nu awful lot and
you got to study hard, hut you'll get.
there If you don't lay ofT. That's
what I've done. I studied shorthand
and typewriting to fit mc for my. work.
And J am a notary' public, And once
I wanted' to be a tlptrtaff. But I want,
more than that now. I owe something
to my wife to make n real comfortable,
fine living, and that's what I'm fixing
to do,
"I'm leaving because I want to get

WATCH LEGAL TEST IN N. Y.
T,iquor dealers nre so confident that
President Wilson will act favorably for
ine wets and permit the sale of stronger
than one-half of 1 per cent drink In
November that thev have been Mwamn-
ing the citv treasurer's office all day long
ior tneir isovemDcr licenses.
The November license costs $01.07,
nnd there Is no way, as far as officials
can see at the present moment, for the
money ever to be refunded. Isevcrthe
less, 3142 out of n possible 1SO0 retail
ers hnve already paid their November
license fees.
One hundred nnd fift.v-elitht. whole
salers, fifteen bottlers nnd twenty-four
Drewers also nivo paid lor November.
The dealers arc not permitted to sell
anything other than onc-hnlf of 1 per
cent beer, but their hones are hteh for
favorable governmental action in the
near future. It is estimated that the
greater majority of the city's retail
dealers will pay the license, which must
be filed by tomorrow.
Brewers t.nd snloonmen here looked
hopefully to New York, where the con
stitutionality of the wartime prohibition'
net la to be ntlnckcd in the federal
courts. i
, The first legal move will he an appli
cation in New York for an Injunction
restraining the government, from putting
the prohibition act into effect.
From present indications the attitude
here of brewers and liquor retailers will
be one of hopeful waiting. It wns snid
that no court action here wns under
consideration at this time.
Now thnt the presidential veto has
been hastily overridden by Congress, the
"wet" forces hnve nailed their hopes
to the legal acumen of Fdihu Itoot rtnd
other eminent lawyers representing the
United States Brewers' Association.
Harry Poth. secretary of the Penn
sylvania State Brewers' Association, re
gards.the'legal move to btf made in New
York as "the opening gun" of the
"wet" counter-nttnek.
"Thincs will develop from time to
time," Mr. Pntli declared. "Details.
of the legal fight depend upon the judg
ment of Mr. Itoot and William I).
Guthrie, who represent the national as
sociation. "The' plan will be to begiu n test
ease and carry the fight right up to
the United States Supreme Court. In
that way a blanket decision can be
obtained that will cover the entire
United States."
Former Judge Theodore F. JenUIn"
is counsel for the State Brewers j As
sociation. Asked today if nn injunction suit
would be instituted tn the federal
court here, Mr. Jenkins replied :
I can t answer that, ion will have
to excuse me."
New York brewers in newspaper ad
vertisements today contend the prohibi
tion enforcement bill is unconstitu
tional. "The present act," they declared,
"imposes its unexampled and oppressive
provisions upon the American people
almost a full year after the last shot
was fired,"
DANCE WHILE FIRE
RAGES CLOSE BY
Chinese Restaurant Orchestra
"Jazzes" as Flames De
stroy Kitchen
A jazz orchestra that continued to
play and dancers who continued to
"jazz" despite their knowledge of n fire
within a few feet of them probably
averted a panic in the Wong Kew res
taurant, nu the second floor of 1200
Market street about midnight.
The fire, caused by an overheated pan
of greae, quickly spread through the
big kitchen nnd threatened to communi
cate to the dining room. A cook nnd
.waiter running from the kitchen shout
ing the. Chinese equivalent to 'lire
gave the orchestra and dancers the first
intimation of danger.
The leader investigated. Returning
to his place, he ordered the orchestra to
play and then telling some of the
dancers of the trouble asked them to
continue dancing. With this example,
other diners remained seated and maflfr
no effort to rush down tho very narrow
stairway.
In the meantime, several persons had
noticed'" the llnmes bursting out the
Commerce street windows oi the
kitchen. , Three alarms were sounded
from nearby boxes. The fire wns soon
extinguished. " ,

Senators Ready to Attack Pro
vision for International '
Organization A
ALL THE AMENDMENTS LOST
ny the Associated Prc3s
Washington, Oct. .10. With the long
list of committee amendments to the
pence treaty finally ..disposed ot, the
Senate today lined up for the next big
fight of the treaty controversy, which Is
to cenctr around an effort to strike out
the provision for nn international labor
organization. ' i
The labor section was not touched
upon in the rejected committee amend
ment program, but several senators nre
ready today to put up a stubborn tight
on the Door ngninst it. , A motion to
strike it out wns made fn the commit
tee .in August by Senator Fall, Repub
lican, of New Mexico, but later was
wlthdrnwu with the announcement that
he was for a vote on it in the Senate.
Sonntnr l.n Follette. Republican, of
Wisconsin, also baa announced he would
mnke such n motion nnrt henntor inom
ns, Democrat, of Colorado, and others,
repentedly have assailed the section in
debate.
Textually, the treaty today was just
where It was when' it wns laid before
the Senate on July 10. the last of the
amendments attached by the foreign re
lations committee after wee)s of de
liberation having been thrown out by
the Senate yesterday.
In view cf the present unsettled labor
conditions, elements nre expected to be
injected into the debate on the treaty
labor provisions whicli may prolong it
considerably. The lenders de; not look
for action for n week or more.
Senator S'nermnn, Republican. Illi
nois, wns sponsor for an amendment
to change the preamble of the league"
of nations by providing that the mem
ber nations should invoke the con
sideration of Cod Almighty, and his
proposal was tabled by a vote of fifty
seven to twenty-seven. Senntor Robin
son, of Arknnsns, made the motion to
table tho amendment and thereby pre
vented a vote on the direct question of
adopting or rejecting the amendment.
The Shields amendment seeking to
limit the British empire to one vote
in cither the assembly or council of
the- league was rejected, .11 to -10. The
Moses amendment to the league-of-nations
covenant disbarring from par
ticipation by Great Britain's colonies
nnd dominions in any dispute involv
ing the mother country or any one of
the colonics, was voted down, 30 to 17.
BREWERS TO ATTACK
VALIDITY OF DRY LAW
Prepare Suit in New York Fol
lowing Shooting of Two in
Raids on Saloons
New Tork. Oct. .10. (By A. P.)
Constitutionality of the Volstead pro
hibition enforcement net ns it npplies to
wartime prohibition is nttn"kd in "
suit wheh counsel for Xew York brew-,
ers and restaurant men were preparing
today for filing in the Federal Court.
The petition will ask that government
agents be restrained from enforcing the
act. Similar suits, it wns stated, will
be brought in various other states.
Decision to attack the constitution
ality of the measure was reached at a
conference of brewing nnd restaurant in
terests last night, which convened at
nbout the same hour that the effec
tiveness of the Volstead law began to
be felt in a series of spectacular raids
bv internal revenue agents, in the course
of which two men were shot.
There were nine raids during the eve
ning and twenty arrests. Revenue agents
visited scores of other saloons? but
found no evidence thnt they were not
complying with the law,
The shooting occured in connection
with a raid on a cafe in West Forty -second
street near Kighth nvenue, known
in the old days of the tenderloin ns
"The Red Mill." Revenue agents de
clined to discuss the shooting, which
spectators said was done by one or more
of the ngents.
Colrtiiel Daniel Porter, sunervising
internal revenue ngent for the New York
district, who lias charge of the liquor
enforcement campaign hero, declared
that his 000 men would wnze'a steady
drive until the sale of anything stronger
than halt ot one per cent has been
stonped.
Assistant I'nited Stntes District At
torney Karl B. Barnes tpdny announced
he would ask for a court injunction re
straining liquor dealers from further
selling ot drinks here. This action will
be taken on the ground thnt under the
national prohibition enforcement law
places where liquor is sold are re
garded as .public nulsnnces.'
it the injunction is granted, saloon
men who continue to sell liruior run Im
summarily nrresteii aucl Imprisoned for
contempt, oi court.
