Citv Solicitor Smytn nnd Thomas W. Cunningham, president of the Republican Alliance. The majority resolution, referred back to tho finance committee, along with' amendments and substitutes, pro vides for twenty-six employes of, the Council, with their yearly salaries ag gregating $40,100. Mr. Cunningham was askcd after the conference if he believed the majority resolution would, go through, as it stands. "We are going to try to make it go through," the Alliance leader re plied. "I am for whatever the Mayor wants. Vare Members Back Substitute Bill Members of the Vare minority in Council are backing a substitute resolution-calling for twenty-one Council em ployes. Mr. Cunningham was told of rumors that n "deal" might be made with the minority to force, through the administration measure. i, The president, of the Alliance smiled, but did not reply. He answered "No" when asked if any oi the Vare councilmcn had been seen rccardiric the resolution. He mill ed that he felt the situation would be straightened out satisfactorily when the finance committee meets on Monday af ternoon. After Mr. Cunningham and the city solicitpr left Mayor Moore would not u.fi.uoa nit; tuuiciciitc. There were rumors this afternoon that when the- majority measure is voted on irf Council, three councilmen aligned with the minority might bo .found vot ing with the administration men. The three, members fwero said to be Simon Ynlt:r', a lieutenant off David H. Lane; Eduard Biichholz, a.fdllower of Sen ator Martin, and Isaac D. Hctzell. Says Develin Is Right Discussing the, .situation, Council man Buchholz said: "If I were con vinced the other1 side was right, of course I would vote with them. I have no axes to grind, and I want to. see the administration, get along. Councilman Deyclin is right when he says, 'Let Council fight it out.' "You see this is a question of money. When' the enU of the year comes we do not want to be short of cash. Of course, while this is only n small amount in volved, it shows the spirit, that is all. "And as to how I vote depends alto gether upon what they" are voting upon. Evidently, Mr. Develin is not far-out of the way. He is not biased, I think he really means it. I cannot personally say what positions are necessary, I am hardly competent to judge with the in formation I now have at hand." Richard Weglcin, president of the Council, announced that he welcomed the support of the Vare members of Council for the administration program. "I welcome their -support for every fair program," said Weglein, "and this is a fair program." Morrow and Marcus Boosted Significant in connection with this invitation to the ten Vare members, President Weglein made the announce ment that Arthur R. II. Morrow nnd I Joseph Marcus, the former a friend of me ares anu tne latter a lieutenant of David II. Lane, had been strongly recommended to him for positions-Minder the new Council. Morrow was clerk of the finance committee of the old Council, while Mnrcus was a committee clerk. Weglein made it clear he would not object to getting the necessarv votes to make up for the deflection of Francis F. Burch and .Tames A. Develin from tho Vare side of the chamber. . . First of all, however, the administra tion will make efforts to convince Coun cilmen Burch and Develin of the fair ness of the administration program. To this end plans have been made to have a representative of President 'Weglein and the Moore administration have a con ference with Councilman Develin nt his home in Overbrook. Special interest was lent to the pos- V oiuiuij ui si-mug varo men to support the administration program in exchange for places for Morrow and Marcus by tho Mayor's statement that the "ma jority should select tho principal as sistants. It was argued that the use of the word "principal" left the way open to award other places to Vare leaders. Councilman Develin said that Mayor Moore's defense of the Weglein schedule of employes was a "begging of the question." Must Be Cnoivnced "The question." said Develin, "is, how much work is to be done und how many employes are needed. The Ma.vor a answer is no answer nt all. Of course, there is always, the possibility of a compromise. But unless I am con vinced I will not vote for a thing sim ply because the Mayor says it is all right. Independents do not take or ders. Furthermore, the Mayor has nothing to do with the question of em ploying help for Council. I am not opposed to the Mayor for the reason that the question Is simply 'one for Council to answer." "If the Major tells you that the schedule pf positions is right, will you vote for the bill?" Councilman Develin was asked. "Undoubtedly not," he replied. "I must be convinced of the need. The schedule now calls for the extreme uirmber of employes." Councilman Burch and Develin re sent particularly they told their friends, being branded as traitors simply because they, will not "go along." Situation Deplored President Wegleiu declared, however, that he "deeply deplored a situation in which Burch and Develin appear to come within the provisions of the trading-with-the-eneray -act," "What do you think of a possibility Ceatlinnl on rate Two, Column Tire.

HALL HINTS VARES E Seventh Ward Leader Believes Organization Will Not Oppose Senator at Primaries STATE-WIDE HARMONY SEEN Significant developments -here today indicated state-wide Republican har mony at the spring primaries, harmoni ous delegations to the Republican na tional convention in June and a clear field to re-election for United States Senator Penrose. Councilman Chariot B. Hall. A'arc organization leader of the Seventh ward, stated his personal belief this afternoon fthat the organization would not oppose Senator Penrose, who will be n candi date for nomination for another term. Joseph R. Grundy, president of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Associa tion, who started a war within the Re publican party in the state, announced today, after a call on Mayor Moore, that the differences between his element in the party nnd the Penrosc-Sproul organization have been patched up. Kephart' and Gallagher Hero Councilman Hall conferred at the Rellcvue-Stratford this afternoon with William P. Gallagher, of Wilkes-Barre, chief clerk of the State Senate, and a Penrose lieutenant. With Gallagher at the hotel was State Treasurer Har mon P. Kephart. The state treasurer and the senate clerk planned to visit Senator Penrose nt his home today. "I don't think there will be any op position to Senator Penrose nt the-statc primaries," declared Hall after the con ference. "I do not think Senator Vare will be nsrainst him. although, of course. I "Cannot speak for' him. There will certainly be no opposition to Penrose in the Seventh ward."

Republican leaders say that a har monious delegation is assured from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's second larg est city. It was reported that Councilman Hall and .Mr. Gallagher also talked over the councilmnnic situation here and that the plans of the councilman might be laid before senator i'enrosp dj- uauagner. Neither the Senate clerk nor the coun cilman would confirm the reports. Mr. Grundy said he would support Charles Snjcjer for state treasurer and Samuel S. Lewis tor me nuaitor gen cralship. Will Agree on Crow- He further said he would stand for tne retention of State Chairman Crow- It was on the retention of Mr. Crow as state chairman that the Bucks coun ty boss leveled his guns several months ago. It was said he would cause n split in the Penrosc-Sproul alignment rather than submit to the re-election of the chairman. This decision of Mr. Grundy's was exnected to nresaee one of the bitterest Lfactional rivalries in the history of state politics, with a probable combination with his and the Vare interests. Today Mr. Grundy said he would work in hnrmonv with Mr. Crow- nnd thnt their friendly understanding nnd co-oneration were complete. He ac knowledged the leadership of Senator l'enro,e. "I will work in co-epcration with Senator Penrose in all matters," he j-aid. As regards the congressman-nt-Inrge situntion, I am in favor of sup porting whoever the senator suggests." Grundy Also a Candidate Mr. Grundy ulho announced his can didacy .for the post of delegate to the Republican national convention. Asked if he favored nn instructed or unin strueted delegation, he replied "I favor whatever Mr. Penrose fa vors."

MAY BACK PENROS WILSON IN LETTER REAFFIRMS STAND IN TREATY BATTLE Willing to Accept Any Interpre- tations Democrats Might Frame, He Writes BACKS HITCHCOCK'S ACTION IN BIPARTISAN SESSIONS Administration Senators to Work for Compromise Attitude on Article X Unchanged By the Associated Tress Washington, Feb. 7. After listening to a letter from President Wilson, re affirming his stand against nny but interpretative reservations to the peace. treaty. Democratic senators decided in conference today to proceed with hcir proyious plan to help bring the treaty up in the Senate Monday and to work for a reservation compromise.. The letter in understood to have ex pressed the President's w-illineness to accept anv interpretative reservations that the Democrats might frame, but io nnve omitted discussion of any speci fie reservation proposals. A long discussion, in which some senators are said to have urged that the Democratic Senntc leaders be more compromising in their attitude, fol lowed submission of the communication. Want Early Ratification The only formal decision reached, it was announced, was to aid in every possible way the move to take up the treaty and expedite its ratification. In his letter, which was sent to Scn- ator Hitchcock, the Democratic leader, more than a week ago, the President is understood to have approved tho sen ator's course in the unofficial bipartisan compromise negotiations then in prog ress. It was said there was no detailed discussion of these negotiations in to day's conference and no formal decision whether the Democrnts would support in me senate the reservations agreed on by the bipartisan committee. Senator Hitchcock said afterward that the conference developed no dissent from the bipartisan committee's conclusions, but that the course of the Democrats in the Senate next week would be shaped by the moves made by the Republicans. Adamant in Article X Stand The Democratic leader also declared there had been no change in the attitude pf the-Democrats and that they remained as determined as ever 'not to, accept the Republican reservation to Article X without modification. President Wilson's" letter is under stood to have been writtpn in reRnnnnp rafta" taemorandunvfrom-Scnator Hitch cock, outlining the course of Democratic members of the bipartisah committee. Attention has been called to the fact that' the letter was written before the publication of Viscount fJrey's letter, stating Ihnt the Lodge reservations were acceptable to Great Britain. . NAB PAROLED CONVICT Shots Fired at Him In Chase Held as Suspect A man out of the Eastern Peniten tiary on parole, after serving five and n half years of a ten years sentence i for larceny, was captured after an ex citing chase in West Philadelphia to day and held in $2500 bail on a charge of breaking and entering nnd attempted ' larcepy. Three patrolmen chased the former convict for four blocks and only cap tured him after one of the five bullets I fired after him came so close to his ear that he figured discretion would be the better part of valor and surren dered. He snid he was William Fuller, twenty-four years old, of Tillman street nenr Seventeenth. He admitted being out of jail on parole, but denied thnt he had committed the crime at tributed to him by the police. Patrick Loy, n saloonkeeper at the southeast corner of Preston street nnd Lancaster avenue, summoned the police about one o'clock this morning, after he saw two men break into the cellar of the store of the American Stores Company, at the northwest corner. Pntrolmen Kerrigan, Clark nnd Mc Xally. of the Thirty-ninth street and Lancaster avenue station, saw the men just ns they prepared to enter tho store. The men spied the patrolmen nnd rnn, one north on Lancaster avenue and one south. All three patrolmen pursued the man going south. The chase lasted four blocks. Then the capture wa's made. During the chase the patrolmen say .Fuller threw away a brace and bit, Vhich they Jater found. Magistrate Stevenson fixed for a further hearing. PUBLIC CAN GET FLOUR 100,000 Tons In Storage Here Is for Sale One hundred thousand tons of flour is being held here in the army storage warehouse, and as there has been nn impression thnt this flour wns to be shipped to Europe, Mayor Moore gave out a brief statement today to show that it may be bought by any one. By way of clearing the ntmosphere in thp matter he gave out the portion of a letter from II. D. Irwin to this effect. Mr. Irwin is second lce president of the United States Grain Corporation.
