Governor Says Attack Resulted From
His Independence
New YoiU, Oct. "Ml. After William
Randolph Hearst, publisher, had declined
n challenge from Governor Smith to enf
gagc in public debate, the governor ap
peared last night in Carnegie Hull and
charged that the publisher's, papers had
attacked Mm. Dcrau' ue nan rt;uiseu
to let Mr Hearst tell him what to da
ns chief executive of this state.
Iteviewing his political record, Mr.
Smith detied Mr Heaist "to mention n
crooked net that I ever performed, in
public or private life." Asserting facts.
In Hearst's, paper attacks on him had
been "gravely distorted," Governor
Smith charged these papers were adding
to the nation'si difficulty in suppressing
the "spirit of unrest" and were making
it difficult for the government to handle
the situation.
At the close the committee, headed
by Jefferson Demont Thompson, head
ing the committee of -'nonpartisans"
who hired the hall "for the common
purpose" of staging the proposed de
bate, presented resolutions, which were
adopted, le.-ommendlng appointment of
a "citizen s lair play committee ot

STRIKE BENEFITS PORT
Business of New York Now Being
Diverted to This City
That Philadelphia will benefit com
mercially from the longshoremen's
strike in New York, was the expressed
opinion today of Director Webster, of
the Department of Wharves, Docks and
Terries.
According to Director AVebster,
while them are no definite statistics
to give out showing actual companies
that have diverted freight to this port,
nevertheless many New York firms have
had representatives here to look oyer
the ground and he is optimistic that an
actual gain to the port can be counted
on within ft few days.
According to advices from New York
the linn of b. D. Foulkrod & Co.,
foreign and domestic freight forward
ers, are urging diverting shipments to
Philadelphia and lloston.

Clevel.iiinil, Oct. "0 - Here i the
lerdict of eight women who sat in judg

the woman, Mrs, Goldie Drossos,
pleaded that men could not understand

"The jurj stands seien for the con

The majority recommend mercy in the

TOLD YOU SO'S' BUSY
Folks Shake Their Heads and
Say "It's Too Much for
Any Boy"
A lot of persons are saying: "I told
jou so!" in Philadelphia today, but,
at the same time, they are mighty sjin
patlietic about it.
Announcement has come from Wash
ington that the llelgian crown nrince.
tlie bojlsh, likable Leopold, was taken
ill last night at the dinner given the
visiting lojnlty by Secretnry Lansing,
l.ieutennnt Colonel Nolf, the king's
personnl plijsieiau, announced his ail
ment ns a slight attack of indigestion.
And folks here, who hnve followed
the royal entourage since the nrriral in
America, and who were ' particularly
taken by the frank-fneed prince, who,
they said, would much prefer outdoor
sports to the endless series of parades
nud receptions these folks are today
shaking their heads with parental wis-
"AVhat else could you expect?" they
nre saying. "As a result of thev mix
tures that boy-prince lias been eating
nt banquets, honorary luncheons and the
rest of it? It would be too much for
nny boj, rojnl or otherwise. What he
needs is n good rest and plenty of home
cooking."
The girls are openly nnd frankly sym
pathetic and distressed. They feel as
bad as if it was a critical malady. For
they, too, were definitely impressed by
the j-oung prince.
ELECTED BY LOYAL LEGION
Six New Members Admitted by
Pennsylvania Commandery
Six new members of the Military
Older of the I.oynl Legion of the United
States were elected nt a stated meeting
of the Pennsylvania commandery nt the
Union League last night.
They are Lloyd Hankson. 4211 Chest-
ter avenue; George Jinrrle, .in, Win

panions of tho nrst class oy lnncri

And the festival got mixed. When
the Itomaus visited Gaul and the Brit
ish IrIch thev lllieil the festival and
combined it with the feast of Pomona,
celebrating the winter store of apples;
nnd nuts. And so the day has come !
down through an endless number of
years with apples nnd nuts and spirits
and fortune telling all mixed into one
great Halloween.
The eastern church adopted the day
in the fourth century, but it was not
until the seventh century that the
western church made November 1 a day
of All Saints.
In Ireland unmarried persons stU)
come together nnd take three dishes',
putting clean water In one, dirty water
in another nnd leaving the third empty.
Then, one by one, they are blindfolded
nnd whirled about. If they put their
hands In the dish of clean water they
will be Inarrled within tli year ; if they
touch the illsli of dirty water they will
be married to a widow or a widower;
but single blessedness or disappoint
ment is all that can be expected by
those whose hands have been guided by
ap evil fate to touch the empty dish.
Mirrors are favorite places for the
appearances of ghosts. Candle light
will be reflected iu the form of the
future mate. Too often have maidens
well ulgh died from fright when a mys
terious shadow crossed the mirror and
tool: the form of familiar masculine
features.
Men. too. it Is said, can discover
their future wives. They must take a
shirt sleeve and wet it, then hang it
before the fire and lie in bed and watch
until midnight. On the stioke of twelve,
through closed door or window, will
come the spirit of the future partner.
She will glide across the room, nnd
touching the shirt, will turn the sleeve
inside out and disappear. And you 11
know" her when jou see her in the flesh.
Oh, it'll be a shivery night!
