Early-iVIorning Snow Turns to

Rises to 34 Degrees
FLUSHING ' MACHINES OUT
A. warm rain from the south today
took n hand in Philadelphia's miow
clearing problem.
The weatherman says barometrical
Indications point to the continuance of
the rain throughout lodny, and the nine
Inch snow nhlrh bound the citv since
last week is beinc partially dispelled
by the steady drizzle.
Falling in line with thp sudden chance
In the weather. Chief Hepburn, of the
bureau of street rleauiutc, ordered out
the city's entire force of flus-hins ma
chines. More than 100 of the machines were
put to work, in the rain, dispelling the
dirty residue from the snow. Larue
forces of sweepers followed the liMi
pressure Anthers, swoepinc the sluh
nnd water into inlets and manholes.
Fire hose was nUo pressed into serv
ice to make the most of the warm
spell.
Clcarinc North Broad Street
Chief Hepburn announced this morn
ing that SO per cent of the business sec
tion, extending from Walnut to Arch.
and from the Delaware river to Nine
teenth street, hud been cleared. Hy
rilrht 00 per cent of the snow, ice nnd
slush wi'l have been removed from this
section, he said.
About li)0 men have been put to work
clearing North Ilroad street, and an
other force if working on Market Btreet
from the Schuylkill to lhirty-second
street.
At 11 o'clock, the rain had slackened
somewhat, but the forecaster said that
indications pointed to a continuance of
i the rain throughout the day. Tomor
row will be fair and co-'der. with a prob
able temperature of 25 degrees.
With nine inches of snow already on
the ground, nugmented by the snow
which fell earlv this morning and
turned to rain, there were many anx
ious inquiries at the office of the
Weather Bureau to uncertain the danger
from flood.
Wind Will Forestall Mood
According to the' weather man, a
brisk wind that is sweeping in from the
west will forestall flood conditions in
central -flud western Pennsylvania,
where the' south wind is not aiinarent.
At Soranton, Pittsburgh, Erie and
Harrisburg this morning the tempera
ture hovered around freezing, but in
this City the warm rain and rising
temperature was welting the snow rap
idly, making several inches of slush at
street intersections, blocking sewers and
causing great inconvenience to pedes
trians. The snow fall this morning increased
the slippery conditions of the streets
and pavements. Where it lay as snow
it covered many places where a coating
of ice alreudy prevailed aud concealed
this dangerous footing. Where it melted,
it seemed to mnke'the ice more slippery
and thp cement pavements nnd streets
doubly so.
May Ask Dr. Smith
to Stay at Penn
Continued from ruse One
teacher at the University for forty
four jfears and feels that he has earned
a rest.
Pending an effort to induce Doctor
Smith to reconsider, the board of trus
tees refused to act on the resignation,
and the members said it might not be
acted on at the next meeting.
Edward W. Mumford, secretary of
the University, announced the resigna
tion in the following statement:
"Provost Smith presented his resig
nation to the board of trustees this
afternoon in the following letter:
" 'To the Trustees of the University
of Pennsylvania :

Doctor Smith makes his home in the
Avondalu Apartments, Thirty-ninth and
Ijocust streets. John C. Bell, a mem
ber of the board of trustees, said there
was nothing to add to the Provost's
letter and the announcement by Mr.
Mumford. Mr. Hell has been a eloe
friend of Doctor Smith's many years.

Moore Tells Christian American
ization Conference How Foreign-Born
May Be Aided
WOMAN HITS B0LSHEVIKI
An urgent plea to help the foreign
born people who come to Philadelphia
was made last night by Mayor Moore
in an address before the Christian
Americanization conference in the Arch
Street Methodist Episcopal Church.
Princess Ountiteuzcne, granddaugh
ter of the late President Ornut, who
came to the United States in the in
terest of llussia, also spoke and dwelt
at length ou the misery of llussia, re
sulting, she said, from Bolshevik re
gime. When Major Moore was introduced
he defined Americanism as "the desire
of n high-minded and peaceful people
to be free nud to be allowed to govern
themselves and to worship God in their
owu way."
Tells of Their Struggle
The Mayor told of the struggle many
foreigners coming here ure having be
cause of changed living conditions. Many
others, who are growing richer despite
this struggle, he said, should take heed
of the situation.
Mr. Moore said that in the last two
decades the population of the eastern
section of the country had changed aud
half of it is now foreign born.
"I wish to emphasize the danger of
neglecting that half of our population
that consists of foreigners.." the Mayor
added. "I haw been studjiug that
question, aud only this morning, ac
companied by the director of public
hialth, I visited a hospital where per
sons were standing in line waiting to be
admitted a hospital that is about to
be closed because no funds are avail
able to keep it open. Do you wonder
that those persons are restless aud un
happy?" Talks for Kolchak
Speaking on "Bolshevism iu llussia,"
Priuce--s ('untacuzeue, made an appeal
for the cause of Admiral Kolchak and
other Russians who have been strug
gling against bolshevism. It is Bol
shevist propaganda that would make
America believe Admiral Kolchak's
power is crushed, the princess said.
The forts are beiug held and victories
are being won by the lojal Itussian
forces far north of the Black sea."
P. P. Claxtou, United States com
missioner of education, who spoke on
"The Moral Element in Public Edu
cation," -said the "Immoral" element
of the school situation in this country
was that the average school teacher
received a smaller salary than the
average jailer; that the avcragp salary
of instructors is about $035. and only
about four teachers iu 1000 receive
$1000. Highly per cent of the public
school teachers of tue country, lie saiu,
are paid less than $1210 n year.

nual Budget Program
Atlantic City. N. J.. Feb. 10. The
executive commission of the Presbvter
ian general assembly, which opened
sessions here today at the Hotel dial
fonte. is discussing the further partici
pation of the Presbyterian Church of
the United States in the program of
the interchurch world movement.
The church contributed $200,000 to
the survey last September. If full co
operation is assumed, the Prcsbv terian
Church will meet its apportionment of
$02,000,000 in the general budget of
more than S300, 000,000 each year for
a period of five years.
The total budget of the Presbyterian
Church in its own endeavors the current
war ending April 1. totaled S13.000.000.
"of which SI .000.000 was set aside for
the building of destroyed churches
abroad and to help returning soldiers
and sullors in need of assistance.
This increase of Siil.000,000 is the
subject of much discussion. A final de
cision will be reached here.
Under the interchurch world move
ment proeram, the Presbvtcrian Church
would sp-nd $1-4 ,000,000 in foreign
fields, whicli is an increase of $10,000,
000 over the last budget. The home
mission board will spend $12,000,000
under the new program of activities.
The executive commission, which is
presided over by Moderator J. "Willis
Bacr, of Pasadena, Calif., will com
plete the program for the general as
sembly which opens in Philadelphia on
May 20. The long pending union be
tween the Presbyterian Church South
and the Presbyterian Church of the
United State., of America will be one
of the principal subjects of this as
sembly. DRANK "COGNAC," DIES

AVhpn Ada Huff first arrived in
Stroudsburg with the child at 4:30
o'clock Salurduy afternoon, she proudly
exhibited the baby to acquaintances as
her own. She telephoned her mother
that she was on her way to th house
with her baby.
Then, before going home, sho went
to a drug store in this town and
ordered some patent baby food. She
showed the child to the clerk, and in
vited him out to the house to see it later.
The Huff home lies out in the country,
four miles from here, just over the hill,
near the little railroad station and town
of North AVuter Gap, on the Sus
quehanna Railroad. Mr. Huff, foster
father of the girl, is station ngent there.
Mr. und Mrs. Huff eay they are
"through" with their foster daughter.
They frequently bnvc sent her money
to get out of scrapes since she left home
two yeurs ago, they say, but they will
not furnish money or counsel for her
in her present predicament.

"Wo got Ada from the Children's
Home, in Trenton, when she was au
iufant," Mr. Huff said. "AAV did not
know her partnts, but we raised her
as our own fhild. AA'hen she was
eighteen jears old she left home. From
time to time she wrote and told us o
her affairs. . ,
"She visited us frequertly. She told
of her marriage and the birth of child

"Then she came home with her baby.

"Perhaps They Didn't Feed Her Warm Millc," Mourns Mrs.
Ruth Leonard, Whose Child Wus "Kidnapped"
by Nurse
"Oh, I won't ever give my baby away
again. I'll starve myself if necessary
to take care of her before I would let
anjbody else have her."
That was the cry of Mrs. Ituth
Leonard, of 018 North Bambrey street,
today, as she waited to receive her kid
napped baby girl. A widow, with five
young children to keep her busy, she
does not have a chance to go out to
work. She lives with her mother in
Bambrey street aud together they keep
the little family together.
But it has been bind, and when "Mrs.

offered to adopl the baby, the mother
and grandmother finally consented. Miss
Ada Huff, alias "Mrs. Nitglc," was
nrrested iu Stroudsburg and will be
given a hearing today ou the charge of
kidnapping.
"Just to think what the poor little
thing has had to go through," Mrs.
Lcouardtswith tears in her dark ev-rs.
mourned over giving Iier youngest child
away. "I'm so afraid she hasn't had
clothes enough and that they haven't
given her warm milk, And I know she
misses us so. I wonder if. her new
tooth is through !"
The plump, sweet-faced mother, with
her black hair and expressive dark ejes.
was dressed iu simple black waist and
skirt. Her mother, the baby's gru(nd
lu ther, at rocking in the little silting
and her parents, like grandparents the
world over, were wild with delight over
the child. The baby was dressed iu
a white frock and the nice new white
kid shoes its mother had strained her
purse to buy, that the child might make
a fine appearance in its splendid new
homeon AValnut street.
"Yes, it's muzzer's tootsy-wootsy,"
crooned the tweuty-jear-old girl, ns
she kissed and fondled the baby.
"Of nurse, it's mine," she iudig
nantlj replied to pointed questionings.
"It's m,v baby. 1 won't give her up;
she's mine mine mine." Then she
buried her face in the baby's blanket
again and kissed its face, the top of
its bald head, its little jiinlc lingers, and
squeezed its little "piggies" of toes,
talking baby talk the while. Mr. aud
Mrs. Huff looked on in smiling content

she confessed it was not her child, said
she had never been married at all, and

"She called me 'moms,' and she clung

Smith. "I went to the Newbold home

this Mrs. Nagle came to the door and
acted just like she owned the house.
She showed us a picture on tho tabic,

said they were just renting that fur

Didn't Belittle
Army, Says Sims
Continnul from Face One
to officers who lose ships, provided their
conduct is meritorious in tho hour of
defeat.
"Tho changing of relative merit 'of
service, in tho matter of rewarding of
ficers. "Injury to the morale of tho service
by rewarding failure instead of success
in specific instances.
"The policy of rewarding defeat,
whicli the Navy Department only sup
ports," he said, "Is moro detrimental
to tho fighting spirit of the navy than
tho worst form of bolshevism is to or
ganized government. By injecting this
'defeatist germ' into our navy and at
tempting to make it a permanent policy
I believe that inesllmablo harm will
result unless it can be eradicated before
it becomes a permanent policy.
Admiral Sims said he had not changed
his opiniousi, expressed in published
articles and referred to before tho com
mittee" by Secretary Daniels, as to the
treatment of American sailors by some
Irish people. Mr. Daniels himself had
Indicated sympathy with this attitude,
the admiral testified.
There should be no disparity in
awards for service afloat or ashore, he
declared. At least 00 per cent of the
officers who commanded vessels in his
force were recommended for awards,
he added.
Just after he had made "that awful
Guildhall speech" in December. 1010,
Admiral Sims said, ho submitted a re
port based on information obtained from
foreign naval officers saying that war
could not be averted more than four
years, and that Great Britain and
France would be found on the same side
and Ituly would eventually join them.
Sims Not Pro-Britlsh
Admiral Sims said he did not sec
"how that report could convey the opin
ion that the man who made it was so
hopelessly pro -British that nono of his
opinions could be trusted.
"Neither do I sec," he added, "why,
because an American citizen marries
a Canadian woman, his children should
be branded as pro-British."
