"I won't say anything about thnt

Wouldn't Desert Friends
The Forty-sixth ward Varc leader
was asked today what he thought of
Governor Sprout's statement which whs
made following a week-end trip with
Mayor Moore on the city boat M. S.
Quay.
' 1 agree with liovcrnor aprom uiut
somebody else should run the JPorty

ernor knows thnt I remained at the
front because of n situation wnicn wouiu

drawn. , , ,
"T nm n student and I prefer to
stick in my own library studying the
law. At any time that I nm in n dif
ferent situation it is only because of
loyalty to my friends.
Mr. Mackcy paused for a few mo
inputs nnd added !
"This attack on my by the Mayor
was inspiicd by some one not friendly
to part' harmony."
Solms May Succeed Mm
Muekcy's chief lieutenant in the
Foity-slxth ward Is Benjamin Solms,
supervisor of tjiildren's agents in the
citv commissioners' office.
It is believed that if Mnckey decides
to withdraw from the city committee he
may try to scat Solms in his plncc.
Such u move, us well ns the con
tinuance of Mackcy in the ward leader
ship, will be, fought by the Moore lead
ers throueh u newly oisaulzed club, the
I. Hampton Moore Republican Club!
of the Forty-sixth ward.
Mackcy was tied for the city commit
tee place with John Fisler, administra
tion lender of tho ward. Fach hud fifty
eight votes. Because of the undecisive
ballot, Moore lenders may carry the
fight into the courts.
Administration leaders, discussing the
possibility of Mackcy's withdrawal from
wnrd affairs, sa Solms will not be able
to carry the wnrd committee. Mackcy,
thny say, Is the one Vnre man in the
wnrd who would stand a chance of elec
tion to the city committee.

Ninth, is the dope headquarters of the
state, City Hall detectives and police
officials in the downtown districts de
clared. Wholesale dope peddlers ply their
business from speedy nutomobilcs rendy
to make a quick getaway in case of
police interference, witnesses said. So
intense is their rivalry, it was said,
that some wear thin suits of mnil un
der ther clothes to prevent serious in
jury from n knife' stroke or revolver
shot.
Patrolmen testified that the making
of nn arrest in some parts of the dis
trict is so precarious that the only
safe way is to grab the prisoner nnd
run. trusting to getting out of the
neighborhood beforo tho prisoner's
friends arrive.
Had Pull "Higher Up"
Captain McCoach wn's relieved from
duty last May. The specific charges
against him urc that he did not suppress

dfu hot maintnin proper discipline or
instigate proper investlsatlons of law
breaking.
Captain Smiley, of the Fifth dis
trict, West Philadelphia, formerly lieu
tenant in the Nineteenth nnd Fitzwnter
streets station, testified that it was nl- j
most impossinie to Keep down the growth
of vice when he was there. I
"Vice spraus up over night," he snid. I
The proprietors of houses npparently
were protected and running iu defiance
of the district lieutenant because of
knowledge of u 'pull' higher up."
Charles Brendley, n detective from
the superintendent of police's office,
tcbtltied that he made an investigation
of conditions in the district bounded by
Sixth, Ninth. Christian and Catharine
streets uud found nurcotics being sold
openly.
"The distiict is one of the worst
'trouble districts' in the city." he snid.
"Shootings and other forms of outlawry
vip with dope selling. The uniformed
patrolmen could cet the same evidence I
did jf tliev were pcopcrlv instructed nud
encouraged nnd supported in their
work."
Can Buy Dope An where
Daniel Nice, another detective from
tiic superintendent's office, supported
Brendle's testimony. It was Nice who
said that the Christian street neighbor
hood was the "dope headquarters of
the state."
"But you can buy dopp any place iu
the city if you have money enough to
pay the 200 per cent profit asked," he
snid.
Nice also said that detectives operat
ing in the district frequently received
,V ., .'
letters threatening their lives if
continued their ncthlties against
ast tie
done ncddlers.
Acting Captain John Moon, of the
First division, admitted that conditions
there uro still bad. but snid they ure
impiovltig. He also supported the report
that Christian street is the state head
quarters for dope dispensing.
Between January 2.T nnd June o0 nf
this year, he snid, 173 orresti for dope
peddling have been lnade in the Chris
tian street district and 471 for vice.
"Conditions there nre bad," he testi
fied. Lieutenant Joseph Van Horn, nf the
Seventh nnd Carpenter streets station,
which embraces the Christian street lo
cality, characterized the conditions as
"fair."
District Detectives Joseph McGinn
nnd Ilnlph t'omdlco upheld the stories
