But not more than 20 per cent of that amount has been or will be spent on the high-cost-of-llvlng campaign, it was said yesterday by department of ficials in answer to the recent sugges tion of Senator Kenyon that the ap propriation should be stopped.

MORRIS READY FOR IKENTY SUIT Admits Sho Supplied Informa tion He Had12 Relatives on Ponitontiary Pay Roll RITER BELIEVES STATEMENT Mrs. Harrison S. Morris, of Ogontz, who is Riimmerlng nt Jomestown, R. I., today said she was not worrying over the assertion of Robert J. McKenty, warden of the Bastern Penltentlnry, who says he will sue "somebody" for n statement in the 1020 report of the Civil Service Reform Assoclotlou that he nnd his relatives drew down nbout $30,000 a year in 1010. Over tho long-dlstnnce telephone Mrs. Morris admitted she hnd supplied the information contained in the report to Frnnk M. Riler, former civil serv ice commissioner of this city, nnd Al bert Smith Faught. secrctarv of the Civil Sen ice Reform Association. The latter had direct charge of the report and was assisted by Mr. Riter in its preparation. 12 Relatives on Payroll, Report Says The report stated thnt in 1010 Warden McKenty had twelve relatives on the penitentiary payroll nnd that all told the McKenty connections drew S30.100. The deputy warden, Robert Myers, also is put down as having had six of his relatives on the payroll, draw ing $8550. ITere is Wnrden McKenty's reply: "The statement is fnlse. I do not know who is responsible, but its pub lication mnkes it compulsory on me to take somebody Into court nnd make him prove his statements. I have de cided that there is no more temporiz ing on my part; into court we go and hnve this thing threshed out there." The statement to which he referred is included under the heading "Employes in the Eastern State Penitentiary," of the report, as follows: "There being no civil service law ap plicable to the selection of the employes in tho Eastern State Penitentiary, Mrs. Harrison S. Morris reports that the fol lowing relatives of the warden and tho deputy warden in 1010 were on the pay roll of the penitentiary: "Warden, $7500; son, chief parole officer, $5000; son, assistant parole officer, $4000 ; son, second assistant parole officer, $3000; son, nsslstant night chauffeur, $1800; daughter, pa role secretary, $1800; wife, chief ma tron, $2500; nephew, clerk, $3000; nephew, clerk, $1800; niece, stenog rapher, $1800, niece, matron, $1150; nephew, assistant night captain, $1150; nephew, assistant day guard, $1000. "Deputy warden, $1800; brother, overseer punishment gallery. $1150; brother-in-law, overseer, $1350 : son- in-law, assistant day guard, $1150: nephew, night guard, $1000; second cousin, guard at gate, $1100." Statement by Warden "Now to the true facts," said the warden, after he was informed of the roster which hnd been listed In the report. "One of my sons is chief pnrole officer and he receives $1000, not $5000. Another is assistant parole officer, and he receives $1300, not $4000. "And I have nothing to do with their appointment. They arc nppolntcd by tho board of inspectors, who are named by the governor. I think I know where this stuff came from, although I don't know this Sirs. Morris. The spurious facts were probably given to her by a drug addict, a woman, who started the first investigation of the penitentiary some months ago, and who was found to bo totally Irresponsible. "But this thing of attacking me with out rhyme or reason has gone just far enough. I'm going to consult my at torney nnd see that my rights arc main tained, and make some of these civil reformers show why they make such statements without knowing anything about the real facts. "My daughter is going to school, and she has never worked in her life. My wife is never around here to do any thing, and has no place. None of my other boys work, and I haven't a nephew or a niece around the place. The deputy warden, Bob Myers, has one brother, who is an overseer nnd works for $1150. The rest is all bunk." Sas It Is Matter of Record "It is a matter of record just how many relatives Warden McKenty had on tho payroll of tho penitentiary," said Mrs. Morris, through her husband, Harrison S. Morris. "Governor Sproul knows all about it. It is time Warden McKenty is shown up. It would be a great public good if he were exposed." A Mrs. Howe who investigated into the conduct of the penitentiary was mentioned by Mrs. Slorris as being in possession of complete information on the penitentiary payroll. Mr Hiter. who jointly prepared the report with Mr. Faught, when told that the waidcn contemplated suit, said to day , "Lot him sue. I can't help it if he does. If he wants to bring this matter to an issue, so much tho better. "This information was put in with nn knowledge. It was supplied by Mrs. Harrison Morris. Knowing her as I do I consider tho source of the infor mation perfectly reliable. Helped Compile the Report "Mr. Faught and I got un the report. As I understood the matter Mrs. Morris had a gathering ot her house. I wasn't there, but I understood she made the statements regarding the penitentiary at tnat time. "Mrs. Morris gave permission to in corporate tho statement, and it was done. I understand Mr. Faught made several trips to get the 1010 payroll at Harrisburg, but was unable to do io." Mr. Faught is out of the city and is not expected back until late in the afternoon.

Half way between Aden and the Suez cauul had been reached when the storm broke, on June 10. So heavy was the rain, Clarkson said, that the nearby shores and the lights there wero totally obscured. The storm was bo fierce that the helmsman lost all sense of direction, he said. The first suspicion of approaching danger came when the lookout shouted "breakers ahead." Almost immediately tho big steel ship was pinioned on n rock and a hurried examination showed a jngged rock had penetrated far into the forwnrd hold. Passed Exciting Night The pumps were started, the life boats put in readiness and the ciew waited for daylight. All through the night the wind blew with great force, and when morning came it was seen tho Berwyn was on a rocky reef just off Kuria Murla island, about 700 miles CITY HALL "GUIDE" STOPS PUBLICATION Action by Acting Director Wag ner Results From Investiga tion Following Complaints Owing to complaints received from business men and concerns, the publi cation of the book. Official Guide of City Hall, has been discontinued by Acting Director Wagner, of the De partment of Public Works. The action was taken to protect the public, Mr. Wagner stated. "In the early part of the year," he said, "many complolnts were received In this office, and I instituted nn in vestigation which has led to tho action which I have Just taken. In January last officers of the Public Building Re lief Association the membership of which consists of employes around City Hall, particularly in the Bureau of City Property, entered into a contract for the publication of the Guide, for a period of five years. The association, which is n beneficial relief organization nnd worthy in every respect, under tho contract was to receive 40 per cent of the money received by tho promoter and publisher, for the advertisements that were inserted. "The Guide contains 125 pages, ten of which are devoted to matters per taining to City Hall, and the remainder is taken up in advertisements, upward of 800 In number. Our investigation disclosed the fact that the association In 1010 received a revenue of $1300. The title page sets fortli that the book Is published under the auspices of the relief association, whereas that or ganization has nothing to do with it except to receive its percentage. "So far as being a guide to City nail, it is valueless. The publisher apparently had no set price for the advertising. The slogan appears to have been to obtain the best figures possible. Some of the business men were charged as high as $125 for n page, while others obtained the same space tor 5U." Mr. Wagner stated that the facts wero not disclosed in time to prevent the publication this year.
