liini in the management of the Depart
ment of Public Safet). Colonel Ellis

Men like General Wendell P. Bowman,

higblv of him nnd we feel that the thou

like him.
"In selecting Colonel Ellis Mr. Cor
telyou has a man who knows law and
wdio nlso understands the discipline und
management of mon.
"I$y securing such men ns Mr. Cor

effect on the employes ns well ns-ou thu

In reply to allegations that he. mado
life unbearable for her by making H !m-
nossiblc for her to keep servants. 1T0
fessor Donnelly denied he discharged
anv servants troin ine uonnexjy nuusu
holtl in Veutnor nrior to tlx separation
except in two cases where he was nsked
by his wile to order employes to ieav.
" Professor Doprielly asseitcd the mar
tial trouble were due to tho fact that
his wife, ti member of a wealthy Ger-
mnntown family, knew nothing what
ever about managing a household and
made it next to impossible for them to
keep servants.
Wife's Income $25,000
In reply lo a further charge of the

monoj. Professor Donnelly said his wife
bad iin income of about $2.1,000 a jear
uiitl insisted upon living in keeping with
her station prior to their marriage. As
he had no other means than uts com

Mrs. Doniiellv s means.
The witness denied nlso that he hud
made his wife's life miserable by using

nuenl use of Ihe word "damn." Pro
fessor Donnelly said he might have used

A cook formerly cmplojed in the
Donnelly household corroborated a part
of Mr. llonuellj's testimony. Dr. Walt

SUIT CRIMPS DESK GRAB
Injunction Asked Against Removal
of Conncllls' Furniture
Bartley J. Dojle, a publisher in tlin
Bourse Building, filed u suit" in equity
today against the members of the tetir
ing City Councils t restrain them
from tnking their desks and chairs from
Council chambers ns souvenirs.
The desire to take the couneilmanlc
furniture was expressed following an
Attempt of the outgoing cotiucilmen to
give themselves a dinner ut (he city's
expense. The dinner plan was vetoed
by Mayor Smith nnd subsequently de
feated by vote on a motion to over
ride tho veto.
Several of the councilmen said they
would mnke every effort to get the co
veted desks and some were of the opin
ion thni Mr. Dovle would not carry out
his announced intention. His action
today promises n light in court if any
of the councilmen persist on trjing to
carry out their plans.

Weatherman Says Mercury to Stay

"Continued cold for several days nt
least," was the way Weatherman Bliss
expressed it this morning after his usual
morning calculation. "As is, you might
bay." ho added.
Snow flurries with n brisk wind may
give hint of an incipient blizzard to
night, but no such thing is due for
Philadelphia, which means that .lores

By the Associated Press
Washington, Jan. 3. Arrests in the
nation-wide raid on radicals last night
and today exceeded 4500 this after
noon, it wns estimated at the Depart
ment of Justice. More than half this
number probably will be held for de
portation, officials said.
A dispatch from Chicago, however,
declares that the raids have bagged
5483 suspected Beds in fifty cities.
Assistant Attorney General Garvin,
in charge of hc raids, said 201G
persons were held on "perfect
cases," and that the raid promised to
be not only the greatest in scope, but
also the' greatest in results of any in
history.
Reside the 201G "perfect enscs," Mr.
Garvin said, federal agents obtained
sufficient evidence to justify the ar
rests of the others.
Parlor Bolshevists Arrested
Scores of parlor Bolshevists were
among those srrcstcd in the raids, offi
cials said. These, it wns admitted,
may have to bo dealt with under state
laws, as they are citizens.
The governments dragnet still was in
operation today with the. lisis of arrests
growing hourly. Among Those takeu
into custody were men regarded bv the
government ns ringleaders in anarchistic
propaganda nnd in a nlot to start a
revolution to pverturn-thc government of
tnq united states which was apparently
nipped in the' bud.

rifles with bajonets were found along

New Jersey. i
Drive Against Propaganda
A new feature of the preseut raid
was the drive at the sources of propa
ganda. The communist party alone
had twenty-five newspapers printed in
several languages actively supporting
us cause. ne communist labor group,
the second radical contingent against
which the raids was directed, was said
not to have gained the strength in
propagnndu through its newspapers so
much as through literature, tons of
which were taken in the cities where
raids were conducted.
In addition to the newspapers, tho
Communist party wns actively engaged
in soliciting support for its cause
through alien agitators. Scores of
these agitators were arrested.
Mr. tlarvan said that although his
information wns incomplete it was rea
sonably certain thut the whole editorial
staffs of most of the communist party
newspapers had been taken by federal
agents. He added that the department
believed it wus striking nt tho root of
the menace by destroying the beginning
of what promised to K- the greatest
propaganda campaign of nil radicals
jet uncovered in America.
Continuation of the raids for today
were ordered by Mr. Garvan when it
became evident last night that local

The Camden jail was n veritable bed

up last night had been lodged three
and four in a cell. The walla of tho
building resounded with song nnd chant,
nil in foreign tongues, the Russian

The Camden police bay tho occupants
of tho cells today constitute the most

All through the morning the police
were kept busy dismissing crowds of

besieged the jail for a sight of the

BELIEVE THIEVES USED BOAT
$1000 in Clothing Taken From Man
ayunk Department Store
A S1000 robbery of men's and
women's clothing from the Forster
Bros.' department store. 4350 -58-CO-02-04
Mnln street, Mnnojunk, on
Thursday night, in which the thieves nre
believed to have used a row boat on the
canal behind the store to carry away
their booty, was made known by the
police today.
The thieves gained 'entrance by jim
mying open it rear window and then'
thoroughly rnnsacked the store. Suits,
dresses, shirtwaists, shoes aud shirts
were stolen. The amount of goods
taken and the fact that only n nnrrow
tow-path separates the store from tho
canal incline the police to the boat
theory.

Paris, Jan. 3. Allusion to the "ap
proaching marriago" o Premier Clem
enceau to the widow of a "former sen
ator and former ambassador of France"
is made by Humanite today. It Is
understood that this refers to gossip
which has been current in Paris po
litical circles for some days that M.
Clemenceau had married Countess
d'Aunay, widow of Count Charles Lc
Peletier d'Aunay, former ambassador of
France at Berne.
The marriage was said to haye taken
place in England a fortnight 'ago. An
authority very close to the premier,
however, declares tho .story is quite
without foundation-'The countess is
of nn American family.
Available j-ecords 'ail t show of
what American family the Countess
d'Aunay-is n member.
