An elaborate banquet without n dull
moment wns given Inst night in the

Club. The occnslon wns In recognition
of the recent election of Rowe Stewnrt
i to the presidency of the Associated Ad
vertising Clubs of the World. Mr.
Stewnrt is n member of the board of
directors of the Poor Richard Club and

An unusual feature of the affair was
the manner iu whlrh Mr. Stewart made
his entrance. Wheti the dinner began
he wns not in his place at the table.
Various explanations were offered prior
, lno K,owlng of a motion picture In
which the chief guest played the stellar
role. He was shown asleep ot his home
on the night of the entertainment, he
was . called over the phone by Karl
Tlloomingdale.who nrrnnged the dinner
nnd then the incidents which occur
uhile Mr. Stewart was en route to the
Hlt7. were depicted. At the moment
that Mr. Stewart, on the screen, was
shown to enter the hotel Mr. Stewart
In the flesh entered the dinning room.
Numerous professional vaudeville
artists entertained the guests. Kx
fiovernor Kdwin S. Stuart uas toast -niatcr
and paid high tribute to Mr.
Stewnrt. The Intter in his reply told
of the organization of the club of
which he Is now president nnd said that
he coijd never have qualified for his
position had it not been for the train
ing lie had received as a member of the
Poor Kichard Club. Other speakers
were Bichard A. Foley, Karl Bloom

DOOMED BY MAYOR

TEN DAYS IS TIME LIMIT
Mayor Moore1 yesterday took .steps to
ward razing n number of dilapidated
houses in the cltv-owncd section
bordered by Tenth. Eleventh. Lombard
and Hodman streets, lip announced his
decision lo n delegation of negro resi
dents of sections near that owned by
the city, that unless plans were sub
mitted within ten days, by responsible
pnrtleH who guaranteed to clean out
the houses and make them sanitary nnd
habitable, he would order the summary
destruction of the houses to make room
for a recreation center.
Following jinvcstlgatlons some time
ago into conditions of dirt nnd vice in
the old houses, which were bought by
the city In 1010 to make room for a
park, the Mayor cnlled yesterday s
meeting of the cqlored people interesteil
in the move, since the section is popu
lated solely by colored folk. The
Colored Protective Association, headed
by Dr. It. . Wright, had nlso investi
gated the conditions nt the Mayor's re
ouesl. nnd filed complaint, in view of
the fact that It was found the city was
renting the houses, ninny of which nrc
used for gambling and Immoral pur
poses. The section was characterized yes-

objectionable element flierc. In a little
more than two months, he showed, ISo
arrests had been made, In this city

ranged from vagrancy to murder.
Mayor Moore declared his Investiga
tors had found the houses' nrc rented
by the city ns low as $20 a month, to
persons who sublet rooms, making ns
much as $200 monthly on their deal.
The tennnts do not repair the houses,
mnny of which nre almost falling apart.
Sanitary arrangemerfts re "ntlrely
lacking, and the worst conditions for
dlsease-breedlnc nm there found.
Plans for rehabilitating the houses
were suggested, but Mnyor Moore de
clared the city did not Intend to go Into
the landlord business, therefore it was
thought best to tear down the houses
entirely nnd construct the open park
for which the site is intended. Hi

POLES PLOT CAPTURE
OF SILESIA, IS CHARGE
Germans. Expose Details Fol
lowing Seizure of Documents
From Polish Courier
Berlin. Sent. 17. The foreign office
has exhibited a large number of type
written documents in Polish, military
maps ond other material, comprising
orders nnd reports alleged to have been
tnken from a Polish courier who at
tempted to swim the border stream be
tween Beuthen nnd Sosnnwice on the
night of July .10. Although the govern
ment hns been in possession of what it
terms concrete evidence supporting its
assertions that the Poles have been at
tempting a violent, conquest of 1'pper
Sllesin for tho lust six weeks, it is only
now making it public, the delay being
explained on the ground of its desire to
make certain of the authenticity of the
documents, which it charges emanate
from the Pan-PnlMi headquarters at
Beuthen.
The documents reveal the existence of
a widely rumif.iiiig secret Polish or
Kiiniuitinn, drafted ou the minute plun
for action with armed forces. The cap
tured maps show the plebiscite region
divided into nine ciicults. with seventy
four subordinated districts, each of
which is expected to furnish storming
troops nnd rille and mnchine gun com
panies. The seizure of n so-called "operation
base" is indicated in the documents as
the prime object of the Pan-Polish se
cret organization, which selected for its
Immediate operations the districts of
Tnrnowltz. Beuthen. Hindcnburg, Kat
towitz nnd Pless, which comprise the
henrt of the I'pper Silesian 'industrial
region.
According to the foreign office state
ment local fighting units,, which hnve
been organized in the seventy-four dis
tricts indicated on the maps, nre ex
pected to suffice for the imrposo of
striking n quick initial blow, seizing
the mines nnd industrial plants and

Conch Helsmnn is dnllv meetlnir with
the proverbial hard luck with his Penn
football squpd. Just about the time ho
thinks he has an eleven together thnt
looks like n varsity aggregation nlong
comes the old demon in the guise of
bruises and sprains nnd sends the hones
of the conch (igllminerfng. Yesterday
was a typical example of the deeds of.
the demon, I
Cnrl Thomns, after two days ofl
patient practice to prepare himself fori
the arduous duties of a center, entered'
the scrimmage drill nnd on the second
down felt henvlly to the ground writh-
Ing in the ngony of pain. Several of the
varsity rushed to his side nnd pulled lili
shoulder nnd relieved the nnsulsh con-
sldcrably: Doctor Arthur Light, who has
more to do these days than n onc-nrmed1
motnrmnn on n conductortess trolley,
nshed on the field, took a hasty look nt
Thomas nnd ordered him to the dressing
room. An examination brought to light
the fact thnt Thomns hnd torn n llgn-
ment In his left shoulder. He was
ordered to rest for a few dnys nnd Heis
man's plans to give him constnnt drill
ing the best way to play the pivot posi
tion must bo Inld nslde temporarily.
Thnt isn't nil. C'nntnln Bud Honper.
itching to get into the scrimmage drill
he hns been denied the privilege of in-
diilging in since the sqund returned from
George School, wns granted a request to
try out his injured side. On the second
scrlmmnge some member of the second
eleven bumped him with considerable
force jut where his side hurt the most
and he wns rendered hors de combat.
Joe Straus essayed the tnsk of work
ing the Chns. Horse thnt hns been both
ering him of lnteout of his system.
After banging through the line much
after his 1017 style StrniiH-felt a queer
MnL- In his leir nnd he inined forces with
Thomas npd Hopper In the dressing
room.
Whltehlll Is still suffering from n
Inme bnck. nnd although he manages to
run through an hour's signal drill every
afternoon he hns' been told to wntch the
scrlmmnge drills from behind the line.
Tom MeXnmara played for a while yes-
tnnlnv In nn rITnrt to work out the mus
cle bruise that hns been annoying him
lnro Mondnv. After the scrimmage he
felt no III effects nnd probably will be
used regularly from now on unless com
plications result.
Enterllne. a second-team ployer, re-
reived a nasty cut on his lip during
practice yesterday, when he met the
knee of the man he was about to tackle.
Three stitches were necessary to close
up the wound.
Several of the other members of the
varsity nnd second tenms nre suffering
slight injuries, but are playing on. Tho
need of capable substitutes, or even
those with sufficient knowledge of foot
hall to moke them valuable as defensive
players on the second team Is occupylug
the attention of the entire coaching
stuff.
Tin Tins, who wns one of the stnrs
of the ltice Institute team in Texas be
fore coining to Penn, performed the
singular feat of getting into the scrim
mage drill without any practice what
soever or without knowing any signals
or formations. He performed credit
ably as a tackle on the second eleven.
The meeting between .loe Straus and
Tips, both from the land that gave Boss
loung. nt tne tiiants, to mi&cDnii, was
very touching. s
Archer, the big tackle from West Vir
ginia, was on the Held yesterday and
announced that he would enter the Civil
Engineering School ns n freshqjnn next
week nnd would piny nn the scrub
eleven to learn the Heisman style of
piny In anticipation of making n place
nn the team next season.
This afternoon the last scrimmage
drill of the week will be held. Tomor
iow afternoon the American Legion
meet will make access to the gridiron nn
Impossibility because oi the wielding
of hammers, shots, etc.
