SCANS GROOME'S RECORD
Hu a Staff Corretpnndcnl
Charleston, S. C. Nov, II.- Mayor
Hect Mooro, of Philadelphia, indicated
in nu intenlew toUny tlint llio moit
Perplexing problem confronting liim at
this juncture was the appointment of
a director of public safety.
At the same time, but without com
mitting himself,' he let it be under
stood that Colonel John ( Oroomc held
.t high place in his consideration for
the most important office in his cnbl
net the directorship of public safety.
Colonel Groome, it is understood, is
opposed by Powell Kvnns, of the com
mittee of one hundred, and liy labor or
ganizations. J.nbor men assert that as
head of the state police Colonel Groome
has shown unfriendliness toward or
ganized labor.
Walton to Confer With' Mooro
.Tohn 'Walton, chairman of the com
mittee of one hundred, arrived here to
day by trnin and as oon as the op
portunity is open the Major elect and
ho will hold n conference. It is the
Keneral belief that the Major-elect and
Mr. Walton will discuss the difficulties
presented by the public safety direc
torship and the open opposition to Col
onel Groome.
In an informal statement the Mayor
elect intimated the probability of the
appointment of Dnvid J. Smjtli ns city
solicitor, and o Durcll Sinister as his
private secretary. Joseph K. Costello,
nlR publicity director durluc the cam
paign, will also ho n member of the
Mayor's official family us associate
secretary in n publicity capacity.
Murdoch Kendrick. who wns Mr
Moore's campaign manager, can have
nunost any post lie desires, announced
the Major-elect. The Mayor and his
ndviserb. believe, however, that Mr.
Kendrick will not accept any appointment.
Mr. Moore was asked what he thought
of the candidacy of Colonel Groome for
the public safety directorship.
"From what I have heard of Colonel
Groome's record," he replied, "he pos
sesses many of the uupilt'es desired in
a public safety diiector, but I will
not discuss the name of any man at this
time."
To Confer WitJi New Cabinet
Mr.- Moore announced that the con
ference with members -elect of the new
Council would be held just us soon
os he returned to Philadelphia, lie will
consult them on the question of select
ing a harmonj candidate for president
of the new body and of appointing
members-of the committees.
"Will you wiy whether or not you are
against or in favor of Charles 1!. Hall
for president?" the Mayor-elect was
nsEcd. "t will not discuss the ques
tion now," was the reply.
Mr. Moore announced in connection
with the discussion re (living about the
department of public safety that the en
tire department would be reorganized.
It Is understood that not only will a
new director be Jippointed, but also
Hint Assistant Director Davis and Su
perintendent Itobinson will lie removed.
There may be a delay in the matter of
Itobinson or some other arrangement
which will enable him to insure his po
lice pension. Captain Mills is being
urged as Robinson's successor.
"There will be no more talking about
the cabinet until I get back to Phila
delphia," said Mr. Moore in conclusion.
Mr. Mooro conferred today with
"Mayor Donnelly, of Trenton: Mayor
Hllis. of Camden; Mayor Hyde, of
Charleston, and a number of other
municipal officers attending the conven
tion regarding polico conditions in their
respective cities.
To Drive Out Criminals
Afterward he said there was reason
to believe that many undesirable south
ern characters, including yeggmen,
thugs and automobile thieves, had been
driven from their haunts and were seek
ing refuge in the big cities of the North.
lie declared that when he takes office
every means will be used to rid Phila
delphia of such criminals.
"There will be a reorganization of
the police department," he said.
"The rights of tho people will bo
safeguarded. Proper protection will
be given to life nnd property. It is too
early to say exactly what will be done
Jn the police department, but I , can
announce that we shall shift men in
certain districts nnd cause the force to
be put on a basis of discipline. Reg
ular police duty will take the place of
political activity. Favoritism is to be
liininated from the police department."

Miss Emily J. Smith Puts Red Cross
Button on City Hall Statue
Defying orders of the police ngninst
enrolling City Hall statues in the Red
Cross by fustening buttons to them,
.Miss Emily J. Smith clambered up on
the statue of Stephen Girard, at noon
today, and decorated him. She had a
Red Cross button and a piece of putty,
and stuck the button on him.
It was originally planned to "putty"
the button on William Penn, on his
perch atop the City Hall tower. This
proved too much of n feat for Mrs.
fleorge W. I'rquhnrt and Mrs. M. Y.
Smith, so they gave the job to a steeple
jack. Hut Miss Smith did decorate the
Girurd statue on the west plaza, police
order or no police order. Then she
scrambled down and hurried an ay.
The whole affair was a feature of the
celebration of Armistice' Day, and the
third annual Red Cross rollcnll. Mrs.
Urquhart, Mrs. Smith nnd Miss Smith
are nil active in Red Cross work in this
city.
