Aviators' Club of Philadelphia to'dav volunteered to give the citv nn aerial police patrol, with 2."0 flying members, for use of the citv -owned ground near Fort Mifflin ns n- flying nciu. A delegation composed of .T. B. Huhn. O. W. Osburn and A. 11. Stutz, called on Mayor Moore today and made the offer. The ground is nt the mouth of the Schuylkill river, lying between it and the Delaware river, and would make an ideal flying Held, they said. Police work by air, they said, would be. donp free, but special exhibition stunts and ptlicr -service would com mand pay. At the recommendation of Mayor Moore, they said they would get. the approval of Director Winston, of the Department of Public Works; which department controls the land, and re turn with the offer in written form. a. GUMBOROW IS ACQUITTED Detective Freed of Graft Charges by Civil Service Commission .Tocob Gumborow, n member of du cky detective force, was acquitted by the Civil Service Commission thi-. iit eruoon of conduct iinbecominj in offi cer, in connection with the ulleged ex tortion of money from Alexander Leo, n grocer. It took the commission less tluiu A minute to decide that the detec tive was not guilty ns charged. Thomas McCullough, a former act ing detective, wns dismissed leeentlv because of his alleged connection with the same case. Gumbrow figured in the case because it was charged he had stopped and spoken to McCiillougb when the latter was in conversation with Lent in City Hall. Harry helix, nttorney for the police department, told the commission he was convinced from his investigation that (jiinibnrorv had no improper connection with the case. Moore plansto use ruthless methods to crush the vares Contractor-Politicians'Know No 'Other Tactics, Say , Independents Order to 'Slay and Spare Not.' Battle Won t End in Primaries lly GKOlthhYNOX McCAIN The outstanding feature in the local political situation is not (he fact that there is to be a bitter factional fight. All that has been discounted. It hn: been a matter of common knowledge for months' It is no sudden revelntiou that Sheriff Itansley is to be oppoaoll in the Third Congressional district. The big fen I urn is that Hie Vnres and their followers, with a total lack ot foresight and the bitterness of defeat rankling in their hearts, will persist in waging a war that will cost them four years of exile from the political feeding crib and, besides, will cost them tens of thousands of dollars. Th entire force of tbe Moore organ ization will now be used to crush the opposition. The fact might as well be kmwu. It is npparent to the Mayor tlint nothing can succeed in this fight but ruthless political methods. The Vare organisation knows no other meth od of fichtirg. It hns thrown sttntcgy, diplomacy and conciliation to the winds. "There is only one thing to do now, and that is to Mean the eld machine nut root and branch. It will have to be done sooner or later. The Vnres have mnde impossible any other meth od." This is the opinion of one of the big political leaders of Philadelphia. Mooro Won't Kvado Fight .ii'd I can ussert with positive truth that the new or Mooro administration will not evade this struggle. It is a demonstrntioi to the people of Philadel phia of the truth of all that bus been asserted concerning the old contractor, ruled machine. It proposes to humpsr Mayor Moce in every step forward thai he tnkeri. It stands ready to ham string his administration -nt the first opportunity! It know' no law but force. The two greAt points of vantage which the Yre "rgauization proposes to hold is the control ot flic Ilcpilh licun city committee and of the dele gation to-the next House of Represen tatives nt Harrisburg. The Third Congressional district is another, but if the Bleventh nml Chest nut streets combination can maintain Its grip und elect the next delegation to Harrisburg H would sacnlice anour everything flse it possesses. It would be n treasure for barter. In their prcs- -ent desperate plight it would be a veritable "shadow ot n great jock in n weary land." The Vnres propose to light the new reform Iteniiblienn organization to the last ditch. The declaration of Senator Dave Martin makes this apparent. Hut it will be n costlv nroceeditic for Sena tor Martin, lie has. by und large, the greatest force of placeholders in his wnrd of any lender in the city. Ills followers are in every department. The word lias now gone forth to "slay and spare not." David Martin is n political derelict without patronage. The number of officeholders iu his ward precludes' the possibility ot bis main taining a personal payroll. s ' Virrcs Will Bleed Officeholders " As it is, the jobholders in the county offices controlled by the Vnres will be bled- white for campaign contributions for the future. It; Is from this source, and from private, contributions from leaders like Senntors Kd Vare and Dave Martin that campaign funds must come in theyiuturc. No more cun the police meplind firemen be "soaked" for cum jiXfign contributions. It will thus be seen that the future political outlook for the Varo organiza tion is very gvay. The light starts now, that will not end with the spring pri mary. Jt will go on until the men and leaders who are opposing the new ad ministration will learn that the most HOLLAND REFUSES T OGIVE UP KAISER TO ALLIED COURTS Cannot Be Bound by Peace Treaty, Reply to Entente Demand WON'T BETRAY CONFIDENCE OF THOSE SEEKING REFUGE Neither Dutch Constitution Nor Tradition Permit Yielding, Says Message TODAY'S BASKETBALL SCORES OERMANTN ACAD .25 2243 DARBY HIGH 12 10-28 SOUTHERN H. 2D.. 20 1030 CENTRAL H. 2D . . 3 47 SOUTHERN H 17 NORTHEAST II 17 NORTHEAST H. 2D 8 t RIDLEY PARK H..15 CENTRAL HIGH. . . 8 i PALMER TURNS HIS BACK ON WIV1N OF LEGISLATION WEST PHILA.

Bj CLINTON W. GILBERT stun" rurroiinnufiu, nr Hie Kienlnc Tubllr I.edEtr Washington, Jan. ''.'!. Tbe sudden blow-up of the nnti-sedition legislation murks the turniug point in tbe wave of reaction that followed the war and tho disappointments of the Paris Pence Con ference. ThaU blow-up, which took place jesterday, was most extraor dinary. There were three main anti-sedition bills before Cougress. There w'as the Sterling bill, which hail passed the Senate. It had gone through without a rollcnll. There were men in (be Senate who were opposed to this bill as uncouxtitn- tionnl, dangerously repressive, rnurh worse than tin; thing 1t flight; to stop. ButtUej .did n.Qt ask foe iuuillenll. -They 'were afraid to go on record against the bill lest some one might point to them as the friends of the Reds. .Might Bar Independence Declaration Another bill was the Grnham bill. It hud been unanimously reported by the House jiidioinrj committee. It repre sented the sentiments of that committee a few weeks ago. It is so extraordinary a measure that Prof. Cacbariah Cbafee. of the Harvard Luw School, who came before the Hous.e rules committee merely as a lawjer to oppose it. made Chair man Volstead, of the House judiciary o-.nniittee. admit that it might prohibit the on eolation of the Declaration of In dependence through the mails. Piofossor 1 natee said it would 1111 dciiibtedl do so. Mr. Volstead would onlj admit, rather reluctantly, having jilted to leport the bill, that it might. The language of the measure bears out Professor Cbafee. for in his zeal to catch all Reds, Mr. (Jrahani fotb.uio the i-in-uliitiiin through the innils of "iinv book, document, etc.. wherein is advo eilted, etc., the use of force, etc.. a n means toward the accomplishment of in dustrial, economic, social or political change." The prohibition is not confined to change- in the present American Govern ment No one could mail unj thing at tacking imj government, old or new. foreign or domestic. "Il inn of Hate" .Measure The third measure was the Diuey bill, prepared by Attorney Geneia'l Palmer, who has,iluue so much to make reaction ridiculous. It is (he fumou" "hjnirr of hate" ineasmc, which would enable Mr. Palmer to get ultei all "acts of hale" and pniseoiil' ilo-u vigorous'; .

Sedliioii Bills Seem Dead Sedition bills seem to 'be dead, and with them the Palmer boom for Hie piesiclehcy.
