BVEJNING PUBLIC
FOR ARBITRATION
OF 220 WARD ROW
Lamberton Proposes 3oard to
Settle His Dispute With
Roper
WANTS TO HELP THE MAYOR
Sheriff Lamberton offeted today to
place the Question of nn Independent
enndidate for city committeeman from
the Twenty -second ward before a board
of nrbitrntlon.
this brings to n head the fnrtional
'1ht in Oermnntnwn between friends
of Councilman Itopor and the sheriff,
which reached a climax Monday night
when Lnmberton's tinme wns proposed
by nn orcnnlzntioti committee to the In
dependent ward committee for the
lendershlp.
Uoper and his friends strenuously
opposed the proposal.
Ijimberton said today he wnt not
ambitious to become n member of the
city committee and only entered the
field when It wus evident thnt there
wns danger of the leadership being
grasped by "Irresponsible persons."
Lnmberton's proposal is tluU down
town Independent lenders and friends of
the Mayor be named on the arbitra
tion board. The nnmes of Thomas AV.
t !linnfnf-linni tkrnslrlnnt nf tlip Ilnnnh.
I llcuu Alliance: George W. Coles, chair
man of the Town Mcetiug party, nnd
David .7. Smjth, city solicitor, were
suggested later.
The sheriff declares that unless an
agreement is reached between the inde
pendent forces in tlie Twenty-scond
ward it will mean that the leadership
will fnll Into the hands of Vnre men
ngnin. Tliomux V. Watson, n Vurc
supporter, is the present representa
tive of the wurd In the citj commit
tee. Lamberton said thnt with n solidi
fied front the Independents would have
no trouble electing their man as com
mitteeman. "I have no ambition to be citj com
mitteeman or political leadrr of the.
Twenty-second ward." Sheriff Lumber
ton said today. "Hut, I am naturally
niixioiis that the leadership of the ward
should stay in the bands of those worthy
and able to command the confidence and
support of tlie voters, for otherwise the
ward will surely drift back to Vurc con
trol. "It wus only when there nppenred to
be danger of leadership being grpcd
by irresponsible persons that I jielded to
tlie request of my friends to tie u candi
date for city committeeman."
Lamberton referred to the clash Mon
day night, and declared that if the mm
mil tee had decided upon ltoper as their
uinilidate be would have turned in for
the councilman. j
'Incidental!, Lamberton added
ltoper stated to the committee that if
l indorsed me lie would bolt and set
up his own candidates in even division
of I he ward.
lie declared that such a course would
mean certain victor for Wutson, llu
Vnre candidate.
"I hnve nhvajs been read to com

While Captain Campbell staled IScrg

Tlie likeness of Hcrgdoll shown to the

scanned the "flier." He finally asked
to examine the photograph and the

Harry Weinberger, Hergdoll'it defense
counsel, objected to admission of the
photograph. He said it was merely sec

not press his objection.
Hcrgdoll nnd other members of the

A member of the court nsked if she

PLAN OF 'ANTIS' IS BLOCKED
Charleston. W. Va.. March 10.
Stnto Rnnni. .Tsr A. Hioch. of Wheel
ing, completed his ,1000-mile hurried trip
across the continent from California to
Charleston corlv this morning iu order
to vote on the federal suurnge hiuvuii
ment in the Seunte of the West ' irglnla
Legislature. ,
Senate forces favoring rntifleaticn an
ticipated immediate action upon the
amendment when it convened this nftcr
nhon nnd witli Senator Block s vote
honed to break the deadlock which nas
existed between pro nnd anll-sufrroge
forces since the special session of the
Legislature wus called.
Antl-suffrngists. according to the
IcudcrV declarations last night, were
still fighting to defeat ratification and
there was some talk nmong them of
contesting the seat of Senator Uuymond
Dodson, who is listed on the side of the
suffragists. Opponents of ratification
claim that Senator Dodson. while reprc-
sciltinir Hnpiiri.r.ltimn count V. litis his
.residence and business in Charleston.
Ills supporters nssert that his ouiciai
residence Is nt Socuccr.
Tho first bitter feeling growing out
the fight In the West Virgiuln Legls
inture for ratification of tlie equnl suf
frage amendment ciopped out iu the
Senate yesterday, nnd it is believed the
courts will linve to decide wnetner or
not the ratification of tlie amendment is
legnl.
The bitterness grew out of efforts
of opponents of the amendment to
seat Senntor A. It. Montgomery. Jr..
who is alleged to have written a letter1
to Governor John J. Comwell on June '
17. Hill), resigning from the Senate!
nnn moving his residence to Illinois.
However, that letter was not prcsrnten
to the Senate by the governor when the
special session convened, and tho higher
body had no oDielnl cognizance of Its
existence, It is said, until evening, when
the committee on elections nnd privi
leges called upon the gocrnor and
obtained bin copy. It wns further
learued that Senator Montgomery visited
the governor s office esterdnv morning
and asked to withdraw tlie letter, de
claring his intention of making his
residence Iu this state agn'n.

the Legislature last night. A similar
bill is pending in the Senate.

Cotil ;nur Trom I'liir One
the location of tho bridge decided upon,
speculation of tlie most interesting na
ture can be indulged in. Changes will
affect tho entire region from Cnllow
hill street to South street nnd us far
west as the Schuylkill,
Among tho locations suggested for the
bridge are whnt aro known as the
I Spring Garden and nnco street plans,
and the Washington Square approach,
i Property Cost Lower
I The argument in favor of both Spring
Garden nnd Iluce street projects is that
the property for the approaches can he
secured in tlio.se sections lower than
property further down town. At leust
$1,500,000 would be saved.
Located there it would benefit the
industrial districts iu the northeast
trnffic iu Camden. It would deflect trnf
fie uuuoecssarih northwnrd of that city
The construction of a boulevard from
the heart of Camden northward would
be necessitated
On the Philadelphia side the same
objection holds that the structure would
be outside the business nnd traluV zone.
iiiuoni". no uitciiiv" unit lllliui tunc, I
i'he Washington Squure or Walnut '
street terminus seems to have the great
est hold ou popular fancy, Tt would be
located in nn Historic neighliorhooil.
Venerable buildings Hnd historic struc
tures could be retained nnd utilized In
most admirable fashion.
The most comprehensive plans are
connected with the Washington Square
approach. They lontemplnte the re
moval of buildings on tlie south side of
Walnut street from the square to
Klghth street and the widening of that
thoroughfare to 1!0 feet.
ISeginniug at Wninul street. Eighth
street would be widened to 10(1 or 100
feet hs far north us Huce, the Intter to
be improved in the same manner until it
converged into the I'urkvvny.
Locust Street Approach
An additional approach will be
Locust street, beginning nt Washington
Square. It would be widened to 100 feet
i-stwurd to Sixteenth street, which
latter would be also widened to its
junction with the I'arkwa.v.
At Sixteenth street a new boule
vard outlet to Grays Ferry would be
provided, at least 100 feet wide.
The iden in the revisinu of sticet lines
is to provide u traffic circuit. It would
avoid motor congestion on the narrower
streets. Fiom the bridge it would affortl
n direct route along brond thoroughfares
to tho Schuylkill and thus lead into the
national highways south and west.
Another suggestion is the location of
the bridge at a point several squares
south of Walnut street. Hut objections
hold for this location ns for the Spring
Garden one. A rndial approach nt n
gentle grade could be provided on South
Fourth street, which would furnish ac
cess from the lower wnrds.
' This street scheme is tentative It
and the Washington Square termini. q
are the suggestions of Dr. W. I. I.nird I
consulting nicliiteet und professional
adviser to tlie old Interstate Bridge
Commission.
The suggestive plans of Doctor I.aird
include beautlfvlng nnd enlarging of tlie
snunrc. Property to the south would be '
taken over for this purpose, leaviug uu !
touched, however, any building ot his- I
lone inieresi. licnuty is one of the
dominant notes in the I.aird scheme.
No mutter where the Phila
delphia terminus Is located, converging
iiiuruuKiiiuitr, win iiuvp 10 ne reeou
strurtcd by a general wldeulng of street
lines. Old avenues will be transformed '
Property condemnation for up
prooches will cover a wide territory
Tho work should not be done in
skimpy or restricted fushlon. Plans
must be formulated to prevent any
possible, congestion to the entrouccs to
the bridge.
The Brooklyn bridge hai served as
a horrible example of bluudcring in the

Wood W. Stewart, rector of the St.
Murtin's in the FieJd P. H. Church,
Chestnut Hill, spenkiog ut the Lenten
service in Christ Church today.
"Two yeurs ago." he buid, "the
watchword of America was give until
it hurts, nnd ever man, woman and
child did. They did it not for mankind,
but for humanity. lOven then some
were only thinking whnt they could get
out of it for themselves.
"Now the protlteerH have the goods
nnd we hnve to pny them their price to
pet them. The landlords have the
houses nnd we hnve to pay heuvily for
shelter. If any of us could look" upon
these things without inwardly raging
nt our helplessness wc would not be
good men.
"Some me go through life milking
liuppincss for every one else without
nny thought of reward, home men
think thnt duty refers only to their
family, or their friends, or their busi
ness associates. But the only real duty
to God is doing good for our fellow
men.
"There is n lot of bitterness being
felt now at high prices, but they will
be still higher in tlie future if. as we
go through life, we add nothing to tlie
prepareducss of the coming generation.
Points (i Styles
"How can n iiinn avoid temptation
with tho present styles of women's

The llev. Joseph A. Mulry nsked this
question nt the noon leuten service iu

Father Mulry roIevvec the liistory of

they were" uothlng but sluves of men to

"One good woman can help mid lead
a man to heaven," he naiil. "and u bad

"Work without vvorr.v." This wus
the nilvice given by tho llev. Dr. Flo.vd
W. Toinkins ut tlie noon Lenten service
ut St. Stephen's ICplscopnl Church.
He spoke on the Holy Gluist and
said among other tilings: "When men

. 36th in Nation
INVASION IS PREDICTED
llu a Stiff Corrttpondtnt
Dover, Del.,' March 10. Suffrage
workers in Delaware are confident that
this state will be the thirty-sixth to rat-
Jfy tho national amendment.
Kven nsscinblymen opposced to suf
frage believe that Delaware will fall In
line.
Senntor Thomas F. Gormlcy, a rnd
leal nntl-suffrngist, says that "nothing
short of n miracle will prevent ratifi
cation In Delaware."
But rumors to the contrary are still
Circulating. There is one that tho anti
suffragists contemplate Fending to the
Delnwnro Assembly, in special session
this month, the same delegation that
was so effective in .helping to defeat the
amendment in .Maryland.
Delaware assemblymen, meeting in
formally, nre said lo have discussed
whether they would admit nn outside
delegation to nppeor before tlicm. To
icfuse would be contrary to precedent,!
for tho Delaware Assembly has always
been easy to access.
Mrs. Henry Bldgcly, of Dover, pres
ident of the Delnwnro Kqunl Franchise
Association, is confident of victory.
"Delaware will be the thirty-sixth
state." paid .Mrs. Hidgely, nnd her opin
ion is seconded by Miss Lcnh Burton.
chairman of the legislative committee,
who ndds :
"We have done it grcnt deal of work,
but we me uot finished. There Is still
much work lo be done, nnd wb can never
be certain until tho vote is actually
taken."
Yesterday the Delaware Knunl Fran
chise Association met In cxecutivo ses
sion nt Dover. Thirty district chnlrmen
nn dother officials of the association
from nil over the statu discussed tho
final ratification plans and preparations
for citizenship work.
Citizenship classes will probably start
in April. Whether the state ratifies
the amendment or not. there Is little
doubt that thirty-six states wjll be ob
tained, and the women ot Delaware arc
preparing themselves for work.
The keynote of "ratification" tins
been chunged to "responsibility" and
thnt the women may not be unduly In
fluenced by nny one party, the associa
tion has secured lecturers iu the citizen
ship school, nuti -suffragists, pro-suffragists.
Democrats and Republicans.
i no ann-Miiiragists are said to be
counting on the general opposition of
ine ussemoiymen lo tun special session,
which wilV have several serious prob
lems to discuss, including the school
code.
But the governor himself has an
nounced his npproval of suffrage and
has tnken some of tlie ncho out of the
special session by proposing money be
diverted from the s.tate's general fund
to bchool expenses to relieve the tax
on real estate.
