The steamship struck an obstruction
while going down the Delaware river

she was compelled to return to port

DISCUSS CHARITIES BUDGET
Hv a Rtaff Correspondent
llarrisburg, Jan. 28. Pennsylvania si
commission on constitutional revision i
mi
lit1
and nmendment refused today to udopl
n proposed amendment to the state con
.stitutlon which would have permitted tht i
people of Philadelphia to pass ou any '
proposed changes in the form of their
municipal government.
Illevcn members of tho commission
voted against the proposed "home rulo
for Philadelphia" and only two for it
It was considered fignirtennt that former
Judge James (lay Gordon und Vance '
McCormick. who voted to give the
statt s metropolis a certain measure of
nome rule, arc ucmocrats.
Three s-o-cnlled home rule amend
ments were taken up for consideration
by the commission. The first provided
that chances in the organization of a
lnunu'ipalitv shall be made ouly by au
act of the General Assembly, ratified b.v
it majontv of the electors of the muuici
palitv voting thereon at :t municipal or
special election designated by the net."
the second provided changes thoul"
bo made in the form of city government
"bv an ordinance of the municipality
ratified by a majority of the electors of
tin? municipality voting thereon at a
municipal election."
Ihc third nronoscd chanies: in mu
nicipal government "by a petition set
ting forth the proposed change, signed
by 10 percentum of the electors of the
municipality presented to the ordinance
making body of the municipality nud
ratified by the electors voting thereon
at a municipal election."
Gordon's Plea Fails
The last two proposals were defeated
first. Judge Gordon then presented an
amendment to the first proposal which
applied it specifically to cities of the
first class. Philadelphia is the oulj ,
first class eit in tho state so (that the
home rule proposal as considered by I
the commission applied to it solcl.v.
Former Judge Gordon in opening the i
debate said that homo rule vaj very
much misuuderstood. He said large I
communities hnd interests which nf-1
footed them particularly, and should be
permitted to govern themselves accord j
ing to their own desires. '
He declared that one of the worst
abuses was that the Assembly enacts'
"restrictive legislation goveruing cities I
by hard and fast rule," oftentimes
changing the form of government at w ill. j
and "methods not commendable, and
distasteful to a maiority of the cltizeus
of the community."
"The Philadelphia charter." con-
tinned Judge Gordon, "should not be
molested without tho npprovuj of a I
majority of the citizens of that wunici-
pality. The next Legislature should
have no right to disturb it except at i
tho will of the people of the city."
Vance C. McCormick seconded the
proposal and said that c.ich community
ought to know its own needs. j
T. DeWitt Cujlcr, Philadelphia, sug
gested that such a procedure might lead
"to the wildest changes." He said'
there was never a time such as at pres
ent when "the strong arm of the state
should be held forth."
".'secession," Says Carson
Tho most vigorous attack against the
proposal was launched by Hampton L.
Carson, former attorney general, who
called it "secession."
He said it was the duty of the Legis
lature to "right wrongs when there
were wrongs, but not mere fancies of
the imagination. It would be n'ccssion
to permit a city to w ithdruw from the
.sovereignty of the commonwealth."
Mr. Carson declared the proposal
would give over control of n city "to
tho minority, which is always noisj.
fearless and active because it has noth
ing else to do."
"It would set an eauiple for other
municipalities," deflated .Mr. Carson,
"and would had to a breaking up, first,
of the commonwealth, ami then of a
breaking of the union of iudivisablc
states itself "
In expressing his fears that the next
Legislature may arbitrarily tinker with
tho new Philadelphia charter, Judge
Gordon said :
"In the exigencies of politics, or iu
the ambitions of parties there may be
au eftort to disturb that government in
Philadelphia iu the next Legislature
I should not want to see that done
without tho approval of the people."
Mr Cuyler s,nd that it might caiiKC
n lack of stability ovtr the state b.v
taking aw a j the centralizing power and
would cause agitation all over the tate
Judge Gordon declared it would mean
stabilit.v beiausi- "it would stop fre
quent ihanges bv the Legislature."
Turning to Mr. Cujlcr. who is n di
rector of tho Pennsvlvaniu Ifnilroad. Ik
asked what stability that corporation1
wouiu navo ot its cnarter was subjected
to arbitrary changes from any outsid.
source.
Oilier Proposition.. Defeated
Two other home-rule propositions
were defeated by tho commission before
it adjourned for the week.
I'nder tho existing luw municipal! -
tii . in making their ordinances, muf-t
couform to the law set down by tho
assembly. A proposed new section of i
the constitution, which was defeated. '
would have permitted them to adopt any i
ordinance against which there was no
prohibitiou iu the general law.
Another amendment to the consti
tution, defeated provided that a mu
nicipality should liave exclusive, power
to regulate the rates to bo charged by a
public service corporation within its
confines "so long as the title to such
facility is retained by the municipal
ity "
A pronosal to permit counties of more
than 000,000 to shorten the ballot by
abolishing or making appointive certain
county officials now i-lected by popu
lar vote, was defeated.
Charities Itudeet Submitted

Sincere and Not Become
Dupes of Cranks
SKEPTICISM IS ALL RIGHT
"Be ns skeptical as you please, for
you can be made the dupe ot charla
tans and cranks. But if jou arc con
ducting experiments in the field of
psvehic research, do so with grave pur
pose," This was ' e advice of Sir Oliver
Lodge, noted British scientist, to hun
dreds who heard his exposition of tho
theory of spiritual life ufter death nt
the Academy of Music last night.
That the spirit goes on after the
earthly carcass has shaken off its mortal
coil; that death is a psychic phenom
enon that merely marks the time of
transition of life to a higher plane
whirh has eternal being and that it is
possible for those of the spirit world
to communicate with mortals, are sonic
of the views of life and death sot forth
by the great scholar.
Calls It "Evidence for Survival"
Sir Oliver stvled his lecture "Evi
dence for Survival."
"Death is like sloughing off an old
garment and taking on a new just a
turning point in life," ho said.
"Death is nu adventure like birth
or marriage it is the entering of u new
state of eiistcnco. Po not be afraid
of the term 'death ' Some of us speak
of death as 'passing over,' 'crossing
over,' 'going west.' und so forth. But
if we wish a good Anglo-Saxon word
with the full meaning we wish to ex
press, there is none like 'death.'
"Science is coming to the assistance
of religion und establishing it on a
firm basis. That is the business of
science. Science seeks truth. Religion
is ba ed on truth.
"I have no quarrel to pick with
those, however, who prefer to take their
religion on faith alone. Perhaps they
are on a higher plane than those who
seek the truth before believing.
"The existence, of the spirit world can
be established by science. We establif.li
the evidence of persons on the other side
of the veil by communications."
Messages Not Troui Mars
At this point Sir Oliver broke off to
Fay that ho did not think that the mys
terioub incoherent messages that arc
being received on wireless machines on
both 6ides of tho Atlantic were any mes
sages from the inhabitants of Mara. The
si ientist was skeptical as to the Mar
tiaus' knowledge of the telegraph code,
lie said that the cause probablv was
electrical 'disturbance in the sun or some
of the other planets.
"But." continued Sir Oliver, "if we
received communications from Mars we
could tell whether it was inhabited.
Tho communications would show that
there arc human beings there So it is
with the spirit world. We have received
the compiunieatious and wo know that
they are just beyond the veil "
Sir Oliver then discussed different
means of communication, declaring that
writing, telegraphy and speech arc arti
ficial and complicated.
"It would be much simpler," he con
tinued, "if we had direct communica
tion from mind to mind. And that can
be done. Wc have good evidence of
telepathy, which is the direct action of
mind on mind without the medium of
matter."
Religion Accepted as Inspiration
Sir Oliver said that religion has
always accepted inspiration, "which Is
an impression reeeiveel from some
higher being," and has taught that
messages cun be sent through the veil
namely, prayers, which do not even
have to bo spoken.
Phantasms or apparitions. Sir Oliver
said, are due to telepathy. The in
fluence of one mind on auother stimu
lates the brain and brings up an imnge
through reaction which the brain takes
trom the mind, as it would from the
eye.
"After we leave tho body," Sir
Oliver e'ontinued, "we can communicate
telepathically. But to speak to our
loved ones we mubt find some one whose
receptive faculties are fully developed.
"If u ljoy wishes to eommunicuto with
his mother, who has not the receptive
faculty, he can communicate through
some ouo who has that faculty well de
veloped and who is vvilliug to lend his
bodily meohuuUm to the spirit of the
boy.
"Wc have no power to call the spir
its back. Wo can ouly give Uiem the
means to get their messages through.
Many of the boys killed in the war,
cut off in their youth, are anxious to
come back to comfort their bereaved
ones "
Kntcr Study Solemnly
Sir Oliver cuutioned that one must
enter upon the study of the spirit worlel
with "solemn, gravo and religious at
tention." He said it mubt not be en
tered upon with frivolous thoughts or
too credulously.
Oulja boards and table tilting are le
gitimate means of communicating with
spirits, Faid Sir Oliver, nnd are sub
stitutes for verbal eommunicntions,
just as wigwagging and telegraphy aro
used between persons still in the body.
Sir Oliver gave several illustrations
of messages from the spirit world. One
of the most interesting was that related
to him recently by his wife.
"Lady Lodge," said th.e scientist,
"was talking with Raymond, our son,
not through a professional medium,
but through u woman with the receptive
f,..ili whom she was visiting. '
''Huddenlr Iho air wan ll4t wit

had been killed In France. Ho gave his
nnmc. It was a well-known one.
"His spirit cried out in distress. He
wan in great trouble in deep darkness
und could see uo light. He asked my
wife if she would help him.
"Lady Lodge asked him how. He
naid he had done great wrong while
he was in the body. He said that he hml
wanted mem iahea out Deiorc tuey were
sent to his home. He wantetl to save
his wife the pain and distress of find
ing them.
Gives Name of Woman
"Lady Lodge asked him who could
do this foT him. She mentioned several
names and the young officer cried out
that they would not do. Finally he
said that one woman would do. She was
a sensible woman, not a relative, to
whom he was willing the story should
be told. The woman communicated with
general headquarters and tho kit was
gotten. There iu it were found the let
ters and the look of hair. The wife was
saved ftom the pain of finding them."
Concluding his lecture, Sir Oliver
said:
"The door is open and we have the
key. The veil is growing very thin. In
due time the world will kuow these
things are true and not imagination."
Offers $5000 Gift
for Spiri Proof
Continued from l'ase One
him the darkness in which the tricks
of meeliums are performed, while the
lights were kept on so that the au
dience could sec the manner in which
the conjurer fooled his victim.
"You be Sir Oliver Lodge," said
Rinn, "nnd I'll be the medium. You
want messages from jour son Ray
mond." Goldberg held one one Riuu's hands
in each of his and placed his two feet
separatelv on Rinn's. to make sure
Rinn could not do the slate writing him
self. Rinn moaned, groaned, wrestled
in agony as the spirits took control,
gradually got both of the hands of tho
blindfolded youth into one of his. nnd
with his free hand wrote on the slntc:
"I am well and tine. Raymond."
Mucli mystified, but btill unconvinced,
the south proposed a new condition
that tho wiitiug should be on the bottom
of the slate. In the professional man
ner Rinn complained thnt this was un
heard of that no medium had ever been
usked such n thing, that it was quite im
possible. Finally ho said :
"Will' you be convinced that my con
trols ares genuine if I do?"
"I sure will."
Rinn repeated the performance, with
the addition, however, of using his teeth
to drag the slate to the edge of the
table, biting the edge, and slowly and
quietly turning it over. Goleluerger
started away a believer, but turned and
salel :
"X would like to have tho slate on
the floor, and then sec the writing on
it."
"Then will you believe?"
"I'll bay I will."
Shows How SLilc Writers Work
The dupe again placed both hands and
both feet on those of the adept. Rinn
writhed, apparent) in frightful agony.
Gradually be .slipped his right foot out
of its slipper, a reinforced nrticlc, which
remained under Goldberger's foot. The
stocking was cut off at the instep. With
his highly educated big and beeond toe
Rinn picked up the chalk and stretch
ing his leg far to the side, scrnwlcd a
message on the slate. Ho dtagged the
slate about with his toes until he bal
anced it against the leg of the table mid
then quietly turned it over until the
surface with the writing was next the
floor.
The condition that the writing should
bo on the bottom had not been made by
Goldbcrgcr. When ho turned it over
ho found on the bottom the messages
"Believe in Rinn."
"Isn't there any truth in spiritualism
nt all?" asked a young girl, being un
deceived much against her will.
"Every article of It is fraud. It Is a
money-getting device, pure nnd simple,
practiced only by scamps "
Rinn held an audience for nearly five
hours with his demonstrations anil ex
planations of "psvehie" phenomena
which at first had appeared absolutely
fraudproof.

BAILED AIRBOAT ALL NIGHT
The flying boat in which six men.
includlne Rodman Wanamakcr. 2d. and
Gurnce Munn, of this city, drifted about
in a heavy sea tor twenty-six nours,
mnnnged to "taxi" into Vcro, Fla.,
about 0 o'clock last night.
All aboard were safe, although they
suffered somewhat from lack of food and
water nnd the severe shaking up they
received from the waves, which at times
ran more than twelve feet high.
Mr. Wanamnker is a grandson of
John Wannmakcr, nnd Mr. Munn
a son-in-law ot Rodman Wanamaker.
Others ou board were John Ruther
ford. Philip Boycr, Caleb Bragg and
David McCuUougli. McCullough, Bragg
and Rutherford arc former naval of
ficers, rated as pilots,
McCulIouah was one of the pilots of
the NC-3, transatlantic plane. Boycr is I
n incw loru broker, visiting witn raync
Whitney.
Receives News of Son's Safety
Mrs. Archibald G. Thomson this
morning received five telegrams con
firming word that her fou. Rodmau
Wanamaker, Ud, had reached Palm
Beach, Fla., safely after drifting at
sea in a crippled flying boat with five
companions,
"I received a wire from my son
shortly before 10 o'clock last night,"
said Mrs. Thomson. "It had been sent
from vcro, where my son and his com
panions landed."
Mrs. Thomson said she is going to
Aiken, S. C, in a few days, where she
will be joined by her son.
The party left raim jjeaen for tne
Bahama Islands on a fishing, trip on
Monday. They carried a small keg of
water and some lunch, hardly enough to
last for more than the few hours they
expected to be away.
That was Uic last heard of them until
thev taxied into Vero last night.
The fishing trip came off as sched
uled, the men said today, but shortly
after leaving the islands for the seventy-mile
trip back to Palm Beach
the big plane developed engine trou
ble. McCullough, acting ns pilot, was
foiccd to make a latiding on the ocean.
The sen was running high and the
operation was particularly delicate, but
was accomplished successfully.
Then began the long battle with the
waves. At times they threatened to
overwhelm the craft, but each time it
weathered tho worst and was prepared
for tho next big attack by the ocean
by frnntic bailing out of water by the
six men ou board.
No One Gets Sleep
During the night the party of six
took turns bailing out the boat. None
was able to sleep. Yesterday morning
tho three pilots worked on the engines
and were uble to make temporary re
pairs. Then began the long trip to the Flor
ida shore. During the night the ship
had drifted about helplessly and was
still more than fifty miles from bhorc.
The power generated by the engine
was not enough for flying purposes, so
the trip was made on the surface. A
strong wind and heavy current carried
the ship opposite Vero, about seventy
miles north of Palm Beach, before u
landing could be made.
All the men arc well known in social
centers along the eastern coast, ami a
systematic and spectacular search was
carried on for them all day yesterday.
Planes Aid Search
Motorboats aud yachts patrolled ths
coast and airplanes from nearby naval
bases wcro used to search the ocean far
ther out. A flier made a hurried visit
to the Bahamas and learned that the
Wnuamakcr-Munn party had left there
bafely.
Mr. Wanamaker and Mr. Munn re
port having seen at least one ot the
bearching airplanes, but their signals
were not sighted by the pilot of the
flying craft,
George Cobb nnd Robert Hewitt, fly
ing in bearching plunes, sighted the
disabled flier off Vero and stood bv un
til tho party had negotiated a safe
landing.
The big plane, of the II. S.-2-L
naval type, scventy-four-foot snan.
I equipped with Liberty motors, will be
repaired touay nuo is expected to lly
back to Florida under its own power.

DECLARES HE REFUSED POST
Slinrp denial of publisbed reports that
Mayor Mooro bad prevailed upon Gov
ernor Sproul to reject the candidacy of
Charles J. Pommer for magistrate were
made In n statement today by Senator
"are.
In flltinic two vacancies nmonc the
magistrates, the Governor annointcd
Robert Carson in recognition of Mavor
Moore and Daniel Oswald in recogni
tion of the Vares. Politicians bad as
sumed thnt Pommer would be annointcd
on the recommendation of the Vares and
it was exulaincd (lint, the Mnvir hnel nh-
jecled to the Pommer candidacy.
senator vares statement in tins
connection was:
There is nn truth In the utntcmpnt
that Governor Snroul releeted Charles
J. Pommer ns a. candidate for magis
trate. .Mr. I'oniBicr is n younc man or
high character and Governor Sproul
stood ready at any time to npnoint him.
Mr. Pommer. however, absolutely ve-
fused to take the place, as. at the first of
tno year, ne returned to bis old post as
tlpstave in Court No. 1,
"Daniel Oswald, who succeeds Mae s.
trato Watson, was recommended by Mr.
Pommer. The new macistratc was horn
and raised in tho First ward nnd is an
active party leader."
senator varo said that Watson,
who has been succeeded as Magistrate
Dy uanici uswnid, resigned as' magis
trate on .December 31 last.
Wntson resigned because of his ap
pointment to tho office of mercantile
appraiser. Political opponents of the
vares have been charging for some
time past mat Wntson had been holding
on to both the offices of magistrate and
appraiser, thus preventing the Governor
from naming Watson's successor. Sen
ator Vure's statement indicates that
Watson has not been holding up the
Governor's appointment.
When Senator Varc's statement was
shown to Mayor Moore ho replied with
a smile :
"Governor Sproul nnd I arc good
friends." .
Wntson was recently annointcd a
mercantile uppraiser as a reward for
holding down the independent majority
in the Twenty -second wiird at tho last
election.
The appointment of Carson especially
meets the approval of tho adherents of
Mayor Moore. Carson, formerly a
magistrate, failed of rcnomination nt
the last nrimury. but worked steadfastly
for the Moore ticket.
Mooro Sido Benefits
Incidentally, it is believed the Moore
camp will get the better end of the deal.
as Magistrate Carson is slated lor the
post of committing magistrulc at City
Hall.
Mayor Mooro recently attended a ses
sion at the Central Police Court and
was much impressed with tho import
ance of the cases brought there. It is
known that he wants n man of proper
judicial poise in this place; one who
will not let political influence of any
kind interfere with the dispensing of
iuticc. .Magistrate liaison lives at
6244 Washington avenue and has been
active iu independent politics for sev
eral years.
Mr, Oswald is are leader of the
Nineteenth division of the First ward
and was formerly a clerk in the office
of tho clerk of Quarter Sessions Court.
He lives nt -HO Moore street.
Republican Alliance leaders of the
Twenty-sixth ward, which is the baili
wick of Representative William S.
Vare, will meet tonight to start plans
for a fight on the Vares in the heart
nf their stronghold. Joseph O. Trainer,
the ulllance leader of the ward, will
preside nt the- meeting at the alliance
headquarters in South Broad street.
Vares Over Active
It was learned yesterday that the
anti-Varo forces in South .Philadelphia
will have a complete ticket for com
mitteemen and Assemblymen In all of
the downtown wards, and furthermore
the statemcut is made that tho Trainer
forces will elect all the members of Uie
House in the Fifth district.
The substitution of Alfred M. Wnl
dron, of the Thirtv-ilrst ward for Ma.x
Arou, of the Twentieth ward, as a
candidate for the Senate to succeed
Senator David Martin and the possibil
ity of n fight by Max Mnycr, Varo
eadcr of the Thirteenth ward, against
Senator William J. McNichoI, of the
Third district, were developments yes
terday. Politicians said that Mr. Aron might
not be supported by thn Martin-Lano
leadership because of a desire to throw
some patronage in that district (o wards
other than the Nineteenth und Twen
tieth, both of which nio represented in
the City Council, The Muvcr talk
wus'baM'd upon the leport that the
Vares arc baid to be planning n fight
