Tlirca hundred men licnrd tbc Mayor ami rbvc liim entbusiaKtic applause. Mr. Moore referred to hi delerminu tion to take and keep tlin polic out of polities and to make, the force efficient nnil honest, nnd then, with eye kin lline. announced .that those jesponsi ble for the administration of justice also must prove themselves capable and worthy. v The Mnyor, who spoke at two other mcrlinr Inst night, arrived nt the Pel imiii Club ballroom about 0:30 o'clock. His address was crisp and vigorous, floelric with the man's Vitality nnd ftornness of purpose. Warns Urlbers, Illgli or Low He led up to his reference to the police and the administration of justice by citing such past practices ns n poljee ninn's acceptance of n bribe of $,t or J10 from a violator of traffic rules. "Surli things will not be tolerated," hr warned, "and not only the bribe taker, but the bribe-giver will suffer, "Practices such as these I will not Ktand for. Pitiless publicity will be the portion of. bribe-givers and bribe takers, be they high or low." The Major'a voice was threatening, as it was, also, a moment later, when he said there wotildbe no -"side door entrances" in bis administration. "We have found graft in many places," he went on, "nnd wc realize that wc have our work cut out for us. Brides getting tbc police nnd firemen nut of politics, wc are going to vee that the contractors do the work they are paid for. The "Republican party does not need nor want the contractors. "I know that there are many folks unwilling to join the administration Tho are wniting for the return of the Aid order of things which they expect Is coming. If they get what thev wuut, It will be the fault of citizens of Phila delphia in refusing to give their suppoij: to us." Interrupted by Applause The Major's address was iuteirupted frequently by bondclapping, and when he had finished, applause bwept the big room. llesides Mayor Moore, the principal speakers were Sheriff "Hob" Lamber ton and George Hoth, assistant diicctur of public welfare. Colonel Sheldon Potter was the toat master, nnd the Itev. Stewart P. Keeling, rector of St. Peter's lOpUcopnl Church. Germautowu, opened the dinner with a prayer. He spoke nt the dose of the program. Transit Director Twining was present at the dinner. In Introducing the first speaker. Colonel Potter declared the club hhd welcomed four Majors Veaer, Ttey hmn. Hlankenburg and SmiJJi n simi lar banquet!!, and thcr. ah":ed tnt every man present .forget politics nnd his party affiliations and combine m lnjnl and hearty support of the new Mnyor. Alt Must Hack Moore "If wc don't get behind tiie new Jlnyor and boost him." he said, "Phil adelphia will be the talk of the whole country for the next hundred years as she has been for so long in the past," In the absence of Krnest h. Tustin. director of public welfare, who is ill at his home, the assistant director ad dressed the diners. "Let us Introduce In our municipal government the spiilt nnd the quick nnd efficient action that won the war," Mr. Roth said, pleading for more co-' operation and less isolation of the vari ous departments. "Resides the three bureaus alreadv established by this new department." the assistant director nsserted, "which nre those on houses of correction nnd eharitlesyand the Hoaid of Recreation, we are Contemplating and planning for the fourth bureau, that of social service, "Under this bureau will come a dlt vision for work among aliens, another for work among negroes, a third a legal aid division, another concerning itself with women nnd children nnd still an other to help provide accommodations lor strangers in the city." A Serious Problem This last problem was declaied by Mr. Roth to lie a very serious one. The Y. W. O. A. nnd similar places, necordlng to him, cannot accommodate n great many of the young women who come here to work, and the same ap plies Co men. In regnid to the Legal Aid Society the speaker suggested that the University of Pennsylvania, through Dean Mikell, of the law school, take over the operation and management of such nn institution, with students of law holding sessions. The city's great need for a children's institution was the final plen of Mr. Roth. Mr. Moore then got up, and In his address he took occasion to compliment (leimnntown on owning so fine a con gressman ns George P. Harrow; who, the Mnjor pointed out. had just re ceived the appointment to the steering committee in the House. Sheriff Lninberton humorously gave credit for his victory at the polls Inst fnll to "n man iu Detroit who enabled mc to get from one end of the city to the other Henry Ford " Mr. Lnmbcrton denounced the report thnt he nnd Mayor Moore were not in harmony. "Mayor Moore stands -or exactly the things I've tried to stand for, nnd I'm for him 100 per cent," ho said. "In the past I've had to criticise, though I've been longing for the time when I could do constructive work. I now hne that opportunity." Mr. Keeling urged that the world get rid of cynicism and doubt and have n renewed faith in human nature. "The other spehkers have pleaded for co-ordination, which is a very fine thing." he declared, "but individuality counts just as much, nnd no man wants to become a "might-have-been, " Moore Plans to Crush the Vares Contlunnl from Pare One they can do is to hnrass and nnnoy Mnyor Moore and his friends, but nt tremendous cost. It has, therefoie, finally been decided, In view of the persistent opposition of (ho Vnres, to eliminate the whole brood of disloyal officeholders, Those who prefer to take their stand beside Sen ator Vaie and Senator Martin can abide by the result. They must look to these gentlemen for political pieferment nnd future position. Up to the present, the administration has contented Itself with issuing warn ings to those who desired to go along with the administration to fall in. Time has now come for action, Th! places held by antl-Moorc men nre rc nuiredfor loyal supporters of the new administration. From now on a gen eral mopping up will take place, MAYOR WARNS T A1TT?

Major Moore rend a new declaration of independence today n response to Senntor David Martin's announcement thnt he nnd Senntor David II. Lane "would be with the Republican organi zation." ' "If Mr. Martin and Mr. Liinc want to join the Vnres in fighting the ad ministration." said Major Moore, "it is up In them. This administration stands for clean politics as well as clean government. , "If old leaders carinot forsake their old idols, they tannot expect this ad ministration" to be of much advantago to them. "The administration cannot accept the rivalry of contractor bosses nor can It stand for leadership that tol erates the viclous practices that have hitherto cursed our municipal life. "If the old Bosses continue to In terfere wilh the administration, they will have to reckon with the people." To Support Max Aaron The Martin announcement which brought forth Mayor Moore's reply was a refusal to recognize the Mayor's lead ership In Philadelphia. Senator Mar tin said that he and Mr. Lane would continue to be tojnl to the Republican orgauizatlon and, in stating that he would not seek rc-clectlon to the state Senate, would support Max Aron, a liBnc iicuienant in tnc xwenticm wnrti. Mayor Moore and Sheriff Lamberton have reached a definite agreement, It was learned today, to combine all 'the forces which won the mayoralty fight for a 'continued battle against the Vares. Further, the agreement proposes that the Vares shall not be recognized by the Moore administration or by Sheriff Lamberton, except in their capacity as ward leaders. On tliis basis the leaders of the In dependents, Sheriff Lamberton and George W. Coles, Chairman of the Town Meeting party, and Thomas W. Cunningham, president of the Republi can Alliance, will nssist the Mayor In his determination to maintain his posi tion as titular leadpr of the Republican party in Philadelphia. To Lead Fight It was announced that the Mayor will lead the fight against the Vares in the spring primaries in every di vision and ward in the city where tlcrc is u fighting chance. The Mayor will fight to bring about the election of a friendly delegation to the state Legis lature, of sympathetic members of Con gress from this city and also for con trol of the Republican pity committee. One of the first mores in the fight (or 'control of the city committee is the announcement by Councilman TV. W. Rqncr, of Gcrmantown, that he yrill bcTi candidate for he city com mittee fiofii the Twenty-second ward. The present Vare committeeman is Magistrate Watson. . Sbcrlfr iiambcrton is also a Twenty-second ""vardcr," and his friends said today hat he might be Induced to make a contest against oth Roper and Watson, Councilman Roper is an independent, but licutennnts of the sheriff said that the councilman's path to the city com mittee would not be a "path of roses." Governor Sproul is expected to be in Philadelphia tomorrow nnd develop ments in the state situation are looked for. Senator Vare and the tGovcrnor are to have another conference on the subject of the magisterial appointments which 'are demanded by Mnjor Moore. The Governor and the senntor also will discuss the make-up of the state ticket. WHITLA KIDNAPPER DEAD "Jimmy" Boyle Succumbs In West ern Penitentiary at Pittsburgh PitUbursh. Jan. 23.

"To make a wide impression'' on the elements of discontent in the Punjab, according to heir commarTder, Brig. Gen. R. E. H. Dyer, British and Indian troops fired without warning last April on a meeting of Indians at Amritsar, killing five hundred persons and wounding aKJut fifteen hundred in ten minutes. This action is now being investigated by a committee headed by Lord Hunter. The violent outbreaks of disorder in Calcutta, Bombay, and the Punjab, eventuated from the "passive-resistance" movement against the Rowlatt Act, which is directed at revolutionary and anarchical crime, and is made necessary by the attempts to over throw British rule in India. Agitators seized upon this measure, the London Morning Post tells us, to organize an agitation which "threatened the very existence of British rule in India " Events in Afghanistan, and even in Bolshevik Russia, "may or may not have had a connection with this movement. In THE LITERARY DIGEST for January 24th there is an enlightening account of the unrest in India and how it menaces British rul in Asia.
