Thomas B. Furey, ap automobile

the Bcrgdoll family for many years,
waa tbo one who told of the plot. He
ald he turned down u 510,000 offer
from Grovcr to aid him in carrying It

Grovcr told Furey of the plan when
the latter visited the prisoner in his

TEACHERS' PAY RISE
Board of Education Fails to Get
Accoptablo Bids for
Properties
REDUCES EXPECTED FUNDS
The plans of the Board of Educa
tion to raise moncv to nrovido for In
creases in teachers salaries received a
severe Jolt today when three of their
properties, offered for sale at auction,
failed to attract bids large enough to
warrant their sale.
This means that the $1-.300,000
which the board had hoped to make
available for increasing the pay of
tcachcra and olhor employes is reduced
to $700,000.
The $700,000 is the amount the board
hnd nlanned to divert from tho SI..
000,000 school 1)ond sale for a building
and repair program to Increases in
teachers' salaries.
It"ls now. .n Question whether the
board will divide "the money available
through the' floating, of the loan, which
would give not more than $100 to each
icacner,- unuj ,wouia mnitp iim; or no
provision'Tor other employes, orwhoth-
cr"th?jwlir try.' .to find some other
means of disnoslnc of the property.
This latter' ioursokwonld likely .mean n.
mrincr postponement ui inc saiury uu
Vanct. which, It wfts hoped, would have
been effected by November.
The next 'mcetm of the board Is
whduled for October. Some menlbers
of the board have favorjd a division of
tho available money by tue uick piun,
which wauldttnean advancing u f-ched-tiled
riw worked out by the board ono
j ear, plml a boniu of $100.
It is even questionable now whether
the $700,000 from the school loan
would enable tho bonrd to carry out
this plan.
"Disappointed and Discouraged"
Himon Orntr., presideut of the Board
of Education, who, with moral other
members und officials of the bonrd, was
present nt the snlo at Freeman's toduy,
said :
"I nm er.v much disoppointcd and
discouraged. Frankly, tho failure to
sell our properties puts us In an em
barrassing position. I don't kuow at
this time what wo are colug to be able
to do ,to solvo our difficulties."
The properties offered for wile cm
brnced the site ow'ned by the board and
intended for an administration build
ing at li"10.25 Arch street, with an
extensive frontage on the Parkway; u
lot on Germuntowu avenue, north of
Washington lane, und n block of prop
erty in Kenblugton, with three fronts
on 'Tulip. Ann and Memphis streets.
The Parkway property, which wits
described by the auctioneer, Samuel
Freeman, n the only ccntrul property
on the market today, failed to attract
bids of more thnn $470,000. An Initial
bid of $100,000 was made, but was
ignored hv tbo aiictloneor. A bid of
$400,000 wan then made, which wus
raised by $10,000 to $470,000.
Withdrawn From Sale
At thin nolnt Mr. GraU btenned up
nnd Informed the auctioneer that the
lowest appraisal ot tne properties re
cently made by the Philadelphia Board
of Real Estate Brokers estimated the
value ob $540,000.
As no further bids were forthcoming,
the property wuh withdrawn from the
The Germantown .avenue lot fared
even worse. It has an assessed valua
tion of $40:000. Tbc highest hid for it
was $10,000. The auctioneer withdrew
the property, saying that the bonrd
could not consider such trifling bids.
The Kensington block, assessed at
$22,500, failed to attract n bid, Tho
salo was then declared ended.

HELP IN TRAFFIC TANGLE
Motorists Using Juniper Street to

The police have discovered thnt the
barring of the "left-hand turn" ut

solved the traflic 'problem nt thnt point.
Motorlots havo complained that confu
sion was the resultA
So the police have put up n sign In
"J ?5n b1"?ro informing motorist
that if they wish tlipy u,ny continue
around tho fcqunro to Juniper street and
turn cast Into Chestnut street from
Juniper street. Wagons have been
cleared from Junlpor street to give mo
torcars easy passage.
Motorists may still turn at Broad
and Chestnut streets, but the new rule
remains in effect there requiring south
bound cars to circlo the rtaudard on
the south side of Chestnut street und
then head north, before they can turn
cast in Chestnut. This is the arrange
ment that resulted in confusion and
protests.
"A lot of people have been kicking,"
said Superintendent Mills, "so we put
up the sign for the benefit of tboso who
did nqt know they didn't have to go to
Broad and Chestnut streets to go east
on Chestnut, but could use Juniper
street instead."

ting committee from James W. Gerard,
of Now York, chairman of the Demo
cratic nutlonal finance committee, and
William Boyco Thompson, of New
York, chairman of the ways nnd means

Mr. Gerard testified that his com

that u national fund of $2,000,000
would bo sufficient for tbovPeinocratic
campaign and said he would bo thank
ful If the committee raised $1,000,000.

B. Ii. Doheny, $0500; August Bel
mont. $5000: Charles B. Alexander,

Thompson and Reed Clash
Mr. Thompsou said he had seven
states and the DJstrict of Columbln
particularly uudcr'his observation aud
that all of the funds collected by his
committee were turned over to Fred
W. Uphnm, treasurer of the national
committee, nnd would appear In his
records. He had n heated colloquy
"with Senator Becd. Democrat, record.
Ing the total of the fund the Repub
licans sougut.
The witness said the quota fixed for
New York state bv Mr. Uphum was
$1,000,000. and added that it was a
"dead hard Job" to get money "will
all this talk about slush funds nnd
corrupt politics." He characterized
such talk us "barroom politics."
"Now let's sco about that." said
Senator Reed. "The total for the
country will amount to $7,000,000
when you get through."
"It's all bunk stuff." Mr. Thomp
son said.. Both men talked ut the same
time and Chairman Kenyon suggested
that thc.V ""Mlvldc the time." Seniitnr
Reed referred tn Cluvclaud und other
cty quotas.
"lour candidate Is 'now talking

"Where did he get his money?" Sen
ator Reed asked.
"I've heard -about securities. Ohio
Cities Gas, ruilrouds. be has bought,"
replied Mr. Thompson.
"Do you .know of Governor Cox
Kneculatlug in Wall btreet?" Senator
Reed demanded.
"I do not." Mr. Thompson replied.
"All I've heard are the rumors."
"Rumors hnve nn place on tho lips
of a man who bus taken an oath," Sen
ulor Reed declared. "Don't you think
ou ought to withdraw the chargo that
Governor Cox is tied up or entangled
with Wall street interests?"
"I've heard thut Mr. Cox is u man
worth many millions, Jives In a house
worth half a million," tho witness
-nid. "But that's no crime. I hour
he's h good, clean fellow."
"Well, j on know that sort of n
charge against him is not true," Scn
ator Reed insisted.
"I didn't put it thnt way," Mr.
Thompson replied. "Do you call il n
crime to be mixed up in Wull street?"
"No, but jou know what sort of un
implication (hat conveys to the Ameri
can people," Senator Reed said. "You
know that cverj brick in his bouse, hl
newspuper properties huve been paid
for by money honestly earned, don't
you?"
Big Fellows for Cox
"That sounds good," tho wjtncss
wild, and a moment later he added, "I
do know thnt most of the big fellows
1 kuow in Wall street want Cox."
Both Senator Reed und Mr. Thomp
son riunlly agreed that "both Cox and
Harding ure fine, clean American cltl-
zeni.
Senator Reed said he wanted to know
"what big financial interests were sup
porting .Cox."
Mr. Thompson mentioued three New
York newspapers, the Kvcniug Post,
tho World and the Times. "I'm not
finding uny fuult," he said, "I'm Just
telling ou that there's big money on
both in spite of nil this bunk about

This led to n recounting of tho numes
of (ho film nee committees of the two
parties.
"Add them together and they
wouldn't total very far apurt," said
.Mr. Thompsou. referring to tho luter
ets represented by the men concerned.
Senator Reed then questioned tho wit

and mining properties. Mr. Thompson

"The ouster of the Socialist members
of the Assembly is an act of, incredible

"I am absolutely opposed to Social

"It l.s the more flagrant because these

He shjs :
" 'There was no charge against any

Mr. Develln was elected, on n reform

bis course In Council has been marked
by independence ot thought and action-
Ills conspicuous official characteristic
is bis antagonism to wastefulness and
extravagance in tho business of tho clt,r.
While not seeking the distinction, he has
unquestionably earned the sobriquet ot
"the watchdog of the city treasury." "'
He has noteven hesitated to cugago,

rcscntatitcs, in bis fight against waste

and all of his official advisers line un
