The Mayor's indignation grew this

With Hold-Up Gang
I: PRESS & SONS ROBBED
Charles Frederick Mutb. the
"Freddv" Moth of 'the famous kidnap
ping case of 190S. stepped- into the
limelight again last night when he
engaged in a zun neht with a can?
of automobile bandits' who attefflp$9d
to rob his father's. Jewelry store, at
"1(532 CoJumbTa avnue.
Leg's1, truin an hour before thisplc
taeular fight in which ono of ,the
bandits, in evening dress, was wounded,
the ietvelry store of I. Press & Ron,
at Eifh1' "rf Chpetnut streets, was
robbed of $3000 worth of jewelry. The
police say members Of th6 firm claim
that one of the stolen rings alone ,waa,
worth that sum and that the loss ex
ceeds $50,000.
The same men. it is believed by the
nolice. were resnonsihle for both crimes.
Tho fight between Muth and the
banditR was brief but exciting. Shortlv
after 0 o'clock an automobile was
driven up in front of the store and
three men eot out, while one remained
at the wheel.
Muth Defies Itobbers
XDne man stepped up to the show
window and sent a hammer through
the glass, as the other two bandits
dashed into the store and leveled their
revolvers at Muth and several cus
tomers. At this point the bandits received an
unpleasant surprise. Instead of rais
ine his hands above his head, Muth
grabbed a revolver from the showcase

inroucn me fbow wiuaow. ine uau-
dits returned the fire and bullets began
to fly in all directions.
Mrs. Muth, the mother of Freddy,
had retired in her apartments over
the store. Hearing tho rbots, she
looked out the window. As she did
fo the man seated in the automobile
fi-ed two shots at her. She was not
hit.
The bandits backed to the door, still
ehootinz. and Muth followed up his ad
vantage. When tbe intruders reached
the door they ran. Muth followed to
the street, where he emptied his re
volver. Charles Zimmerman was in tbe store
when the bandits began to fire, making
a purchase from Charles Muth. Fred
dy's father. Zimmerman was struck a
glancing blow on tbe knee by one of the
bullets trom tne oanaits- guns.
lvel Guns at Crowd
Reaching the curb, the bandits
leveled their euns at tho crowd and
clambered into their machine. The man
who wore evening dress was seen to
stagger as if he were shot and he was
assisted into tho car by his companions.
Zimmerman's wound was s'ie'it and
was treated by a nearby physician.
After the shooting was over Muth
said: "I have been waiting for some
thing like this to happen aud had tbe
gun handy."

GERMAN GOVERNMENT
OVERTHROWN, REPORT
IN BRUSSELS ASSERTS
"Socialists" Said to Be in Con
trol, but Travelers' State
ments Lack Confirmation
Brussels. Jan. 10. (By A. P.)
Travelers from Germany reaching here
today brought unconhrmea reports that
the German Government has been over
thrown. It was reported that the Socialists
were masters of the .situation, and that
a general strike bad been declared
throughout the territory" not under al
lied occupation.
London. Jan. 10 .- In-connection with
"the unconfirmed "reports ironV'TJrnssekrf
"oi -a ueraangernmenr"overtnrow
messaw e from Berlin bv.wav of Conen
.hagen, received this morning) did not
indicate that anything of an extraor
dinary nature had been foreseen in.
Germany up to late last evening.
The Brussels report of a' German
Government overthrow are n6t 'con
firmed 'from any other source, and it
may be noted that the dispatches
themselves carry their own qualifica
tions, emphasizing the lark of positive
information,
If it should prove thus that there
has been a new uprising in Germany
it would appear to have been de'iber
ately timed to coincide with the date set
for putting the treaty of Versailles into
effect and creating a state of peace
between Germany and the allied powers.
The Brussels reports speak of So
cialists being in control of the situa
tion in Germany. The Majoritv So
cialists, headed by President ivoerc,
have been in control of tbe govern
ment. If an overthrow has occurred lt
probably has been engineered by the
radical r Independent Socialists.

BILL IN CONGRESS

Washington, Jan. 10. Restoration

jMr. Vare declared -lie would 'push the
bill and expects to obtain support for
it from delegations representing other
cities similarly-situated.
Refusal of Congress in 101S to make
provision for continuing the operation
of the tubes cjosed them down in

"This bill and resolution were intro
duced at the request of the Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce," Representative
Vare said. "The various trade organ
izations of the city are back of both
measures. They protested when Post
master General Burleson urged the dis
continuance of the tubes, and demand
the return of this service.
"T.'iere is no question but tho tubes
give the city better and quicker ser

be relieved al'o by their restoration and
heavy mail trucks which now block the

McCain Likens Threatened
Fracture in State Ranks to
Democratic Rupture
FIGHT IN PRESIDENTIAL YEAR
LITTLE SHORT OF CALAMITY
Senator Penrose Regarded as
"Political Engineer" Who May
Patch Difficulty
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
The rupture in the national Demo
cratic party has its counterpart in the
impending rupture in the Republican
party in Pennsylvania. It threatens to
become as disastrous as the Quay-Hastings
split, which divided ihe party iu
the state for years into warring camps.
I am convinced that unless a com
promise 13 effected and Senator William
D. Crow decides to withdraw as a can
didate for tho Republican state chair
manship, there will be a fracture in the
Republican party that will require years
to cement.
I do not wish to nosa as an alarmist.
but every Republican leader in the state
is aware that there is trouble within
the party. It is over one official, or.
perhaps, more than one and not more '
than three. The situation involves the
Republican organization and its integ.
rity.
Democrats May Take Opportunity
More than this, it is inevitable that
stnte lenders who consult personal ad
vantage will line up on one side or thOi
ither. , There will be bitter attacks and
iust as bitter reprisals, all of which will i
be used with telling advantage by the ,
Democrats in this presidential year.
Moreover, in the heat of this.fieht.
Republican factionalista will purposeb j

in a presidential year this would be
'ittle short of' calamitous.
I am writing npw with & knowledge
of fact. Every sincere Republican de
sires to have this struggle halted before
it is begun, but I am convinced that if
'he Republican organization persists iu
putting Senator Crow forward for' re
flection as state chairman a factional
struggle is inevitable and disclosures
disastrous to tbe party will ultimately
ho made.
Apprehension Among State Loaders
Already there is, apprehension among
ate leaders. There have been many

conferences to discuss tbe subject, and
'rora all indications the state otganizu
Hon is going ahead with its plan. Ther?

between the business interests of Penn
sylvania which have contributed to
greatly to the success of the Republican
party in the past, and a little coterie
of practical politicians who desire to
handle the funds, reap all the benefits
and then distribute, as their gift, what
ever they deem proper to those wbo haie
made them what they are." j
War Threatening for Years
The impending internal warfare has!
been threatening for three or four years
During the last session of tho LesWa
ture it reached a climax.
It Is the popular impression, I dis
cover, that tho fight against the Re
publican state machine by the Perm
sylvania Manufacturers' Association is
the result of failure to Fecure rertain
legis'ation affecting both labor and its
employers.
I am informed, however, that legis
lation of this class enacted by the last
Legislature is satisfactory to tbe manu
facturers' organizations. The objection
largely centers around tbe manner in
which tho manufacturers' representa
tives were treated in consideration of
various bills.
They are principally charges of stu
died discourtesy practically amounting
to insult : claims by tha manufacturer.
of deliberately broken faith, and refusal
to recognize gentlemen's agreements and '
understandings involving fair and im
partial treatment au open disposition
to olay politics to the limit, mth a-total
disregard of the, manufacturing interests
of the commonwealth.
Wholesale Denial of Charge,
On the part of the state organization
there is wholesale denial of the charge.
The counter claim is made that the
manufacturing interests demanded too
much. That party policy required a
purtailment of it3 demands, and that
this, and this alone, ib the secret cause
of the present upheaval "
Tbe outline 1 bave given above docs
not embrace in full tbe charges of the
manufacturers. There are others that
have not a3 yet been publ shed, whin's
are of a more or less greatly disturt)!
inc nature, but which inevitabl wil1
come to tho surface if the fight reaches
what might be termed tbe personal and
hand-to-iianu siage.
If the warfare continues, every cle
ment iu the state will be involved. Labor
will be drawn into it. Personal am.
bitions will be shattered, and ambitions,
which extend beyond the state In their
political ramifications, will undoubtedly
become involved.

BRYAN TO REMAIN
IN PARTY COUNCILS
Democratic Split Not Likely.
Wilson May Conciliate
' Peerless Leader
NO REAL ANTAGONISM
By CLINTON "W. GILBERT
Staff Correspondent of Ibe Evening

Washington, Jan. 10. The prospects
are that Mr Bryan will sit iu the Dem
ocratic national eouvention, that he will
have considerable to say about the plat
form, which he declares to bo more im
portant than the candidate, and a little
to say about tbe candidate ; that be will
be regular and at lea.t ar helpful as
he was when ho forced his will to about
the same extent upon the Democrats iu
1904 and participated in tho nomina
tion of Parker
That thrre will be a party split, that
there will be a bitter tight in the
primaries, or ebewbere, that Mr. Bryan
will insist upon being a candidate him
self, th.it be will go over to tbe Labor
party niaj all be dismissed as in the
highest degree improbabilities. Mr
Bryan is an old hand at politics, lie
ioes not bolt. He does not fight any
more thaD is necessary. He makes
gestures. He indulges in dramatics. He
obtains the best terms he, can.
Nor do the organization Democrats
want or expect u fight If they had,
Mr nitrhcoek the President's leader
iu the Senate would not recently have
patched up his old quarrel with Bnau
and decided not to oppose the reappoint
ment of Brvan's political right-hand
man Allen nor his old friend Loomis to
-office. Neither would be bae said that
be would not object to Mr BrvanV
sitting in tbe Democratic national cou
entiou from Nebraska. Nor again
would tbe Democratic national commit
tee have invited Bryan to address the
Jackson diners.
Wants to Stage "Come Bach"
Mr. Bryan, like a great many other
and institutions, like the United
son's administration noarine its end and
Wilson s health impaired. He wants to
come back. So be terves notice on the
Democratic party that it miit not make
any important plans for 1020 without
first coming to see him.
He did so dramatically, by saving In
bis Thursday night's speech that he
was in emphatic disagreement with
President Wilson on tbe important is
sue of treaty compromises. He showed
that be would make trouble if necessary
