Schmidt told me uinc no ieuusiii. u
burner was crude and a damn tool.
Braun Kctlcent
At first Mr. Brnun t-eemed rather re
luctant to testify, but he coon opened
up and told tho committee all he knew
of the affair.
"Mr. Schmidt came to see me many
times." said Mr. Braun. "He first
told me of having been asked for the
bribe when I met him on the cast plaza
of City Hall."
"Did Mr. Schmidt mention any coun
cllracn?" ho was asked.
"Quite a few. IIo told mo that Mr.
Limcburncr had called on him nnd tola
'him that he would take care of the
boulevard ordinance and that the fellow
who had called on him was all ''".
Mr. Braun then oxplained how Mr.
Schmidt had been brought back here to
accompany the councllmen on tho trans
portation committee on tin inspection of
the proposed boulevard line
The ordinance for the boulevard trol
lcv line was first referred to a subcom
mittee of three. . ..
"The chairman of the transportation
committee. Mr. Montgomery : the choir
man of the subcommittee. Mr. t.ans,
and Mr. Limeburner spoke to me of tuo
necessity of having Schmidt here to go
nlong with the oouncilmen when they
went on their Inspection trip. They
asked me to send him a telegram to
rome on. I sent it to j.nicngu uu .
finallv reached him in Baltimore. Cans.
Limcburncr nnd Montgomery asked me
several times if I had heard from him
u. hn fin.nllT enme here and no-
companied the eouncilmon on the trip."
"Rodenblum" or "Rodenbach"
Mr. Braun then detailed tho name of
the. mystery briber as either "Bodpn
Mum or Kodenbarh." He then told of
Mr. Llmcbumcr's interest in meeting
Mr. Schmidt.
"Mr. Limeburner told me several
times thnt he wanted to meet Mr.
Schmidt. He asked me what sort of u
fellow he was to talk to. and finally
he told me to tell Mr. Schmidt about
himself and said he intended meeting
Mr. Schmidt. "Tell him I'm boss around
here ' M
Mr. Braun said Mr. Limcburncr had
spoken to him on many occasions, and
when asked""what his purpose was
explained ho wanted to obtain n posi
tion for his son from Mr. Schmidt.
Mr. Braun said he had spent Mxtcon
years around City Hall, and tho boule
vard ordinance was the first he had seen
referred to a subcommittee by n body
empowered to dispose of it.

State Delegation
Will Back Sproul
Continued from I'nie On
tors of the future. They are behind the
Immediate tunning of Governor Sproul.
Tho fact of the matter Is. that whllo
the mention of Senator Kuox's namo
was received with Ronernl surprise and
comment, coming ns It did from ouo so
hlfili In tho councils of tho Republican
organization as Senator Penrose, no
one, so far as I havo learned, regarded
the suggestion as n blanket on or a bar
ricr to the Sproul boom.
In tho western part of" the stnto, the
ingestion, 11s I gather from eouvcr
nation with men from that section, was
received with consldernblo liiilifforoucc.
In fact, adverso comments were forth
coming on tho advisability of Injecting
Knor into tho campaign.
In Pittsburgh, I understand, there
was more than n little coldness on tho
subject. The explanation given was
tlint Senator Knox bad liecome so men
tified with national affairs that be had
practically drifted beyond the ken of
bis own local leaders.
In this respect he was plnylng tho
opposite to Senator Penrose, whoe ac
tive interest In local and stato affairs
has kept him prominently before the
people for n quarter of century : or ever
since he went to Washington. Tills nc-
couuts for his grip on tho organization
Am thcrp .s n'ot llkc,y tQ be Hn,cg9
g)mo U1(jsercct frend of the junior
senator undertakes prematurely to rush
him into the race.
There are always opportunities pre
sented in u delicate situation, or as the
result of deliberate design, to promote
dissensions in the best regulated polit
ical body of men. Hut this is not
looked for in tho present Pennsylvania
delegation to Chicago.
Whether or not the question of the
unit rule will be considered and defi
nitely decided is a very Interesting sub
ject. So far as can bo seen It is the
only matter that might suggest friction.
The state leaderR are pretty sure of
their men. and there is llttlo likeli
hood of strong sporadic outbursts in
favor of this or that candidate as second
choice.
There is every reason to believe that
tho organization of both sides next Wed-'
nesday will be accomplished without the
slightest friction nnd to the utmost sat
isfaction of all concerned.
Thus far the question of transporta
tion of the national delegates is very
much in the air. No arrangements have
been made for them to travel in a body
or in special cars.
It was the opinion of Secretary Baker
tbf the members would travel by groups
orBsingly. ns suited their convenience.
It is possible that the delegation will
formulate its own plans for reaching the
convention city.
Try outs Boost
Penn and Tigers
Continued from Tain One
if one team piles up a total of thirty
two points it will be good enough to
land tho laurels. This is a great sea
son for the small colleges, and It is
they who are cutting into the points
heretofore monopolized by the larger
institutions.
The athletes from the West showed
up well in the preliminaries, and seven
men were qualified by California and
six by Leland Stanford. Dartmouth
has seven. Yalo six, Stato five nnd

Columbia got two men in the finals
nnd Amherst. Boston College, New

Tigers, in Eight Events
The Tigers' strength is spread over
the sprints, the hurdles, the two-milo
and the field events, nnd it is probable
that tho Orange and Black will score

Coach l.awsou Itobortsnn's men pin
their hopes mainly on their middle-

EVENING' PUBLIC
ASSEMBLY PRAISED
BY PRESBYTERIANS
Mooting Most Far-Reaching in
History of Church, Says
Now Moderator
GREAT STRIDES ARE TAKEN
That tho General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States, which closed at tho Acndemy
of Music yesterday, wag tho most sig
nificant nnd far-reaching in its results
of any in the history of the church was
the opinion expressed by both the Rev.
Samuel S. Palmer, newly elected mod
erator, and Dr. William Oxley Thomp
son, president of Ohio State University
nnd a member of the cxecutivo com
mission of the assembly.
Not only wnn a great step taken to
ward organic union of all evangelical
churches, but tho much-debated Inter
church World Movement was settled,
as far as tho Presbyterian Church is
concerned, for some time to come. An
other interesting phase was tho hu
mane nnd strong stand taken by the
assenlbly toward the perplexing Indus
trial problems of the day.
"A Wonderful Assembly"
"It was n wonderful assembly," said
Doctor PRlmcr. "We received the
Welsh Cnlvlnistie Church Into out
ranks, made a decided movo toward
organic union of evangelical church
nnd settled tho Interchurch World
Movement question. We took the step
of severing connection with that movo
ment not only because of legal com
plications, but because wc prefer a
union of this kind to come through the
church and not through a corporation.
There was an indebtedness of S,G00,
000 incurred by tho movement nnd we
would have been responsible beyond the
amount underwritten.
"Wc have been entertained royally
in Philadelphia. Our reception couldn't
have been better. Taken from every
standpoint, It vrat one of the best man
aged assemblies ever held.
"Everything points to a decided for
ward movement in the church. The
collection of moneys has been tho great
est during the last year that we havo
ever had. It shows that tho springs of
benevolcnco aro not drying up. There
never was a better spirit in tho assem
bly. During the most heated discus
slous thero was at no time any mani
festation of bitterness.
Educational Advance
"We have gono ahead in our edu
cational program to the tune of $35,
000.000." said Doctor Thompson. "As
a result' of tho plan tho assembly will
raise $2,000,000 a year for tho next
five years, the balance being raised by
the church at largo. Wo have awakened
1,500,000 Presbyterians to the impor- '
tanco of an improved educational pro
gram. "The desire expressed by tho Presby
terian Church for organic union is an
important step and will encourage other
denominations to do likewise. Here
tofore thero havo been fifty-seven varie
ties of Protestant churches, but soon
there will be but one. Wc shall then
be friends and learn to know each other.
It means a humanizing of the Trotestant
churches.
"The Interchurch World Movement
was one of tho by-products of the war
Then we were talking in terms of mil
lions and thousands of millions. The
program of the movement was built on
a war basis. If the movement had come
to the present point during the war it
doubtless would hove gone through
without much trouble. But the people
tired of tho fast gait at which they
were traveling.

'Penny a Week? Brings $300 Year Happiness Sum Money
Altvays Available for Worthy Charity
"Please you don't need to send the
money any more." a youngster in the
McCall School told tho teacher.
"Ah, Is your father well, now?"
"NVm, he's' dead." replied tho boy.
For several months $2 a week has
been supplied from tho happiness fund
to buy milk for a tubercular parent.
Another family gets $3 a week to
keep an especially worthy child in
school, and two other families get a
dollar a week to help along with needed
food.
A penny n week means $300 a year
at thc McCall School, and without
frenzlel financing. Every week on Fri
day tCcrc is a collection taken and
there is considerable contest between
downstairs and upstairs to see which
floor raises thc largest amount. Some
of the children bring nothing nnd some
can bring as much as five or ten cents.
Altogether about $11 is collected every

for It," one of the teachers in tho
Blnncy School said the other day.
Sometimes ono of thc cripples needs
a new crutch, or a special braco or
shoes. Last month alono $34 was spent
for lunches to the crippled children.
And the open -window school needs help
sometimes, nnd it costs a small amount
to send some of thc children to the
playgrounds.
So prosperous has the fund grown
that a set of books is being opened to
tell accurately where the money goes,
for some arrangement has to be made
to keep enough of tho fund to supply
some entertainment for the cripples
during the summer.
A special fund has been started for
the Armenians and $100 already col
lected may amount to $1C0 before the
end of the school year.
But tho real wind-up of thc work
comes thc middle of June, when thc
pupils of tho McCall School will enter
tain tho nunils of the Binnev School
with a party and give tho cripples tho

AID FOR TEACHERS
Biff Crowd Overflows Acadomy.
Resolution Passed Asking
$40 Monthly Increase
SPROUL AND MOORE THERE
An fnthtislastic, determined crowd
filled tho Acndemy of Music last night
nnd overflowed Into the street, consti
tuting ono of tho biggest meetings ever
held in this city.
They wcro citizens nnd educators who
had como to demand an immediate in
crease In pay for teachers in the pub
lic Bchools in order that Philadel
phia might be able now and in tho fu
ture to compcto favorably with thc
teacher markets of this country and
procure nnd retain the most capable
teachers for its children.
Speeches In vigorous language from
nromlnent men. eulogies for school
teachers and members of the Board of
Education, individually nud collectively,
were delivered. For a whllo it looked as
though tho meeting had been called to
discuss nearly every subject under thc
sun except teachers' salaries. Oratory
dealing with presidential candidates,
high cost of living, tho salaries of po
licemen nnd firemen, newspapers nnd
publishing houses seemed to be In order.
Resolution Tasseil
Put eventually, through a speech of
George Wharton Pcpper. thc audi
ence was turned back to Its chief
purpose. A resolution was passed fa
voring a flat increase in teachers' sala
ries of S40 n month dating from Janu
ary 1, 1020, and tho appointment of
a committee of five citizens to c6nfcr
with the Board of Education to make
the resolution effective
Edward Bok, chairman of the citi
zens' committee which arranged thc
meeting, presided, and the sneakers in
cluded Governor Sproul, Mayor Moore,
Dr. Thomas H. llncgan, state superin
tendent of instruction; Mr. Pepper,
Miss Margaret Mngulre, supervising
principal, of the McCall School, and
Joseph H. Hagcdorn. Homo of these
speakers and others addressed three,
overflow meetings.
"lou may rest assured that these
resolutions will not go the usual way
of resolutions that Is, Into the waste
paper basket. These resolutions will be
acted upon," said Mr. Bok.
Another notable fenture of the meet
ing was the reading by Mr. Bok of an
officio! statement which he Ijad just re
ceived from tho State Treasury De
partment at Hnrrlsburg, saying that the
department, beforo the end of the
month, will pay thc full balance due
the Philadelphia Board of Education
for salary increases for the fiscal year.
A much-applauded high-light In Gov
ernor Sproul's address was a pledge that
he will "fight for n further increnso of
f0 per cent in the stato appropriation
for education at the next session of the
Legislature." The last session increased
the appropriation H3 1-8 per cent,
or from ?18,000,000 to $24,000,000. It
the Governor makes good his pledge,
that amount will be raised to
:ti'..000.000.
Until 10:30 o'clock a peaceful,
frieudly ntmosoherc pervaded tho meet
ing, as if the speakers nnd audience had
taken to heart tho words of Mr. Bok,
who had &aid in bis opening address :
"Let us discuss these problems with
out heat. What wc need Is not heat,
but light."
An abundance of heat, however, was
injected into the proceedings when Mr.
Pepper, his frame and voice trembling
with anger, criticized Mayor Mooro for
"diseutsing everything except educa
tion." The Mayor in n thirty-minuto ad
dress hod made many digressions, jest
ing with the Governor, talking nbout
the contracts for the South street bridge
nnd finally making nn appeal for an in
crease in wages for the police, and tire
men, who. he said, "did not rcceivo as
much money as the teachers in thc
higher grades." These digressions
evoked some distinct rumblings of dis
content in the audience. Thc speakers
had been allowed ten minutes each by
tho chairman.
Thc Mayor's address was followed by
thut of Doctor Flnegan, who said ho
would "talk only five minutes and make
It a point to bring the meeting back to
tho purpose for which It was called."
Thnt statement was greeted with ap
plause. Mr. Bok then, as permanent chair
man, made a short nddress. Ho pointed
grnvely to the situation facing the city
today iu the constantly increasing
shortage of teachers.
"There are today 30,000 children on
part time and half time in tin, schools
of this city. Thnt is, they are receiving
less than six months of schooling per
j ear. The state law requires seven
months for the rural districts. So as a
result we are glvlug even less thnn the
law requires.
"What Is going to happen in our
country twenty yours from now depends
entirely on what happens In our schools
tndnv. Hie ciiiiuren now in our
public schools are thoso who will be, re-
nuired to carry out our great nrojeets
If we do not tiove auoqunte schools we
cannot expect to have adequate citi
zens. -. . .. ,". ii
"Wc. the. citizens of Pennsylvania
nnd Philadelphia, are to blame for nny
inadequacy that may exist. Wc am too
much and too easily contented. The
Board of Education Is just as nnious
as we nro to solve this problem, but the
members must have tho co-operation nf
the public behind them. That is whut
we arc here for."
Among other things. Governor Sproul
said:
"Ever sinco I have been In the ex
ecutive chair of this commonwealth. I
havo been preaching to the people tho
Imminence of the danger to the state
through tho facts thut the public
school aro not appreciated or main
tained. "1'nless tho people gel to work and
realize, tho present danger threatening
the public school system nf America
wo are going to luivo u brrukdnwn In
the greatest bulwark of the nation.
It is such n meeting as this, however,
ns will show those who mnke the laws
that the people themselves ore demand
ing that the present conditions bo
rectificd'nnd that will induco thc Legis
lature to grant such measures as are
needed.
Major Talks of Many Things
"Pride In this state is an obsession."
declared the governor. "The community

The address nf the Mayor followed.
He took the opportunity to express his
viowH mi inuiiy thlutjs from presidential
candidates to the high cost of llvlne
A"'1 ,llB ProfPTity of Philadelphia's
, commerce. He, too, apologized for tho
limitations of statutes which prevented
the city from meeting not only its own
special crises in the salnry situation,
but also from taking part In providing
money for helping tho BortI rt Kdu
cation in a time of need. He told of his
regret that the Mayor of Philadelphia

"I want to sco tho teachers happy,

Then followed Doctor Flnegan.
After his first statement that he
would only sneak five minutes and
bring tho meeting back to its subject,
Doctor Flucgan said :
Educators Being Humiliated
"I look upon it as a, humiliation to
your teachers that they should be com
pelled to leave their school rooms and
come to Ilarrisburg to lobby with the
lcgifhOirs.
"Next winter when the Legislature Is
convened, tho tcaehets of tho communi

was decreased 0 per cent In 1017; 7

"In answer to a Questionnaire which
I sent out I found 'that 18,000 young
men and women will graduate from thc
high schools of tho state this year. Of
that number only 1800 havo signified
itielr intention .of becoming teachers.
It was the determined position that
Mr. Pepper took in bringing thc meet
ing bnck to strictly business that won
the house. IIo fairly shouted at the
nudiciicc his intention to get them to
consider definitely the subject of the
evening.
"I think Mr. Finegan did a service
In calling attention to the fact that we
are hero this evening to discuss an in
crease in salary for teachers. I am in
tcrestcd in the discussion, of course, be
tween tho Governor and the Mayor about
who 'discovered Mr. Bok; I am inter
ested in securing adequate pay for po
licemen and firemen; I am Interested in
the new South street bridge; but the
thing nearest my heart is tho' educa
tional crisis in the city of Philadel
phia. And when anybody tells ub that
the pay of policemen and firemen has
not yet been raised to the standard of
the best pnld teachers, then I say that
while he has a proper conception of what
is justice for policemen and firemen,
lie lias no adequate conception of what
Is Justice for teachers."
"I hope that beforo this meeting ad
journs some practical man will present
resolutions as to how we shall give ex
pression to our good impulses; If we
arc goiug to pay more money to the
teachers, the money must come from
semewhere.
"We must admit that ahead of all
things comes the matter of the educa
tional welfare ouu iutcrest ot tins com
munity. "Now the question of quostlons is,
whether the board of public education
is justified In making a great venturo

"Wc must pass a resolution practical

movement until we uavc obtained our
object.
"Philadclphians nnd Pennsylvonians
have been shamefully contented to bo

There is no reason why they should not ,

"Thc booster Is often n public nuis

"I see from this meeting tonight that
we are entering on a uew era that you
who are present arc hero to see that

too good for Philadelphia."
Gives Pepper Ovation
Tho audience rose, shouted, whistled
and yelled its appreciation of Mr. Pep
per's remarks. "That's the best speech
of the evening." came clearly from tho
gallery and the cheering was renewed-
Then followed the presentation of the
rocnintlnii nrenared by tho citizens' corn-
mitten asking for thc $40 a month in
crease, thc citizens' committee of five
to confer with tho Board of Educa
tion and three suggested methods by
which thc money could be obtained,
financing repairs by bonds nnd apply
ing the current funds to the salary in

and to teciiro from the stute the funds

Throughout the meeting every effort
was used to give the Board of Educa

to solve the situation. The resolution

MUn Mnculre. who was the first
speaker, told of the actual needs of the
teachers as seen vy uuu nuu uuhj pujic,
vises their work.
"Let us think for a minute," she
i-ald, "just what public duty the teach
ers nerform. Will you picture the class
rooms at t 0 ciock in nuy morning; inn
j on see the thousands of little folk
taking their seats ready for training,
inspiration oud leadership? And jet
we forc,e these men nnd women, worn
out by their year's work, to labor all
summer at some temporary position in
order to muke enough money to get
through tho year.
"I think without doubt we all agree
that during thc coming hot months they
ought to be allowed to get refreshed, so
that when they come bnck into the
schools they will ngnin extend tho wo,

New York, May 2ft. The present la

spondents of newspapers In many paru
Of the country attested as well as any
single fact the immense Interest which
tho nation took in the debate last night
between Samuel Gompers, president of
tho American Federation of Labor and
Henry ,T. Allen, governor of Knnson

putes. "
Mr. Gompers, who began and clowd
tho debate, restricted himself to un?
holding and defending the right of
labor to strike. Ho pictured that as an
Inalienable right, a fundamental human
right, which could not bo taken ami
from man except at tho price of lib.
erty tho right to work or not to work
belonging solely to man and not to be
interfered with by government. t..
or courts. That, said Mr. Gompers, U
tho principle for which labor is con
tending and will contend no matter
what may come.
He closed his main argument with t
statement into? which may nnMlMr k.
read a threat of organized labor turnlni 1
made unlawful and arbitration com
pulsory. "The men and the women of labor
of America are sovereign citizens with
nil of you," ho said, "and If it should
come to pass that you can make labor
compulsory for the working people
there is no reason why they should not
turn upon all and say:
"Well, If compulsory labor Is right,
then we shall be compelled to labor for
society."
Henry J. Allen, on the other hard,
did not deny the right of labor to strike,
but did and that was the burden of hit
speech Insist tho right of the public,
the public" welfare, was supreme over
the rights of any Individual or indi
viduals. As an example of thc rights of the
greater body of society tramped under
foot by the lesser body of union labor,
he cited last winter's coal strike la
Kansas. And as an example of how the
majority right, tho right of tho public
should and could be asserted when it Is
outraged byn minority of 'nbor, h
cited the working of the Kansas indus
trial relations act and of thc 'ribunal
which It created, called tho Court of
Industrial Relations.
And as thc man speaking there for
that public, be shot a lot of barbed
arrows at Mr. Gompers, and this was
one of them :
"Wo have not forbidden to aav man
the right to quit work (Governor Allen
was speaking of Kansas and her indus
trial law). We havo not taken away
from any man his divine right to quit
work. Wc have merely taken away
from Mr. Gompers his divine right to
order a mnn to quit work."
