stirred yesterday's session. Chairman
Dinwiddle today ruled that "personal
candidacies and personalities" must not

ternntlonal Congress Against Alcohol
Ism. Sir. Dinwiddle's ruling served to
shorten discussion of the attack yester
, day by Hlrd S. Ooler, New York com
missioner of public welfare, on prohlbl-
I tlon enforcement, and the reply made
I .by Prohibition Commissioner Kramer.
Many of the delegates expressed a de
sire to answer the charges nnd counter
. charges.
"The chair will permit, and desires,
1 a full and open discussion of all sub
jects." Mr. Dinwiddle said.
"However, the chair will order the
program continued when personal can
didacies or personalities are brought into
the discussion."
Ileplylng to published statements that
the congress was under control of a
prohibitionist group of this country,
and that Its purposes were being di
verted as a result, the chairman declared
that "no organization is running this
congress
and said reports to the con-
frnrr pri "iittprlv false

UN REHEARSE
BELL RINGING
Artist and Members of Pageant
for Suffrage Celebration
Gather in Square
HISTORIC ROPE IS USED
The "Woman's Justice Bell," du
plicate of the Liberty Dell, was "rung"
silently for the first time today.
It was, however, only In rchcarnnt
for the real ringing tomorrow after
noon, when thousands of women will
gather in Independence Square to hear
the belt nnnouncc to the nation t1
passage of tho federal amendment glv-
'"ft the vote to women
Guernsey Moore, the
Philadelphia
artist who Is in charge of tomorrow's
pageant, had bis hands full. Miss
Katharine Wcntworth, of Roanoke,
Va., who will actually ring the bell,
was there, nnd so were other principals
In the pageant. Mr. Moore's job was
to get them all together and then to
get them started on the reheorbal.
Just as they got under way the two
little page girls, Marjorle Wentworth
Iltts, twelve years old, and her sister,
Anne Chittenden Pitts, eight years old,
climbed up on top of the bell, nnd their
mother, Mrs. Thomas Dorscy Pitts, of
Baltimore, who will be ".Justice" In
the pageant, stood beside them on the
platform. All was ready for n picture,
when Mrs. C. W. Ruschenbcrgcr ap
peared on the scene nnd asked them nil
to come down. It wasn't dignified, she
thought. Mrs. Ruschenbcrgcr is the
owner of the boll.
Had To Obtain Ropo
It developed that there wasn't a rone
to practice ringing the bell with. So
Fred lckersberg, engineer nt Inde
pendence Hall, hurried off. nnd reap
peared with tho rope with which the
bell In the tower of the Hall had been
rung the day war was declared with
Germany. This was tied to the justice
bell, nnd the rehearsal proceeded. The
clapper of the bell had been removed
to prevent any one ringing it premu-1
turely, so Miss wentworth just pre
tended it was there.
Tho pageant tomorrow, according to
Mrs. Pitts, "will lead to a wild ringing
of the suffrage liberty bell that will
shako the foundation of America."
Mrs. Pitts, as Justice, will wear a
white satin gown with something
draped down the back. This led to n
conference, for the color blue signified
victory, she said, and gold, justice. So
gold was decided upon. Little Miss
Marjorle Pitts carried the scales of
justice, simulated by a hat ; while her
sister, Anne, carried the sword of jus
tice, at the rehearsal today.
Three thousand invitations to the suf
frage victory celebration in Independ
ence Square tomorrow afternoon, which
were mailed Monday night at 0 o'clock,
have not been delivered.
Mrs. Sarah McNeil, representing the
League of Women Voters, asked Su
perintendent of Malls Johnson today the
reason for the delay.
Mr. Johnson said the Jewish holiday
of Yom Klppur had made the depart
ment shorthanded. The invitations, he
said, might be delivered tonight or to
morrow morning.
The ceicmony tomorrow will be un
der immediate direction of the Phila
delphia League of Women Voters, but
every suffrage organization in the city
and state is co-operating.
Altogether there will be nearly n
hundred women nnd girls in the
pageant. Forty-eight girls will each
represent a state, nnd carry n huge
American Hag, and there will be maids
of honor and other attendants.

CHICAGO RESTAURANT
KEEPERS SUMMONED
Must Explain to Council Why
Prices Have Not Fallen or
Face Prosecution
Chicago, Sept. 24. (By A. P.)
Managers of five leading hotels and of
two restaurant chains have been sum
moned to appear today before the city
council's committee on living costs. An
announcement by Chairman Max Ad
amowskl said that they would be asked
to explain "why their prices have not
been reduced In proportibn to the drop
in wholesale food prices."
"We hnvo the facts; and figures to
prove to these gentlemen," tho alder
man added, "that they have been profi
teering. We believe that they will
agree that the war is over and reduce
their prices. If tbey do not, they face
a withering combination of prosecution
and pitiless publicity.
The alderman declared that failure to
answer the summons would result in
complete investigation of profits made
by the firms, followed br a nubile an
nouncement of the figures and a request!
that "the firms be boycotted until prices
are reduced or n representative is sent
before the committee."
"Potatoes have dropped from $0.00
a hundred pounds to $2.fi0, yet an order
of potatoes stll cost from fifteen to
forty cents," he udded. "The same can
be said of tomatoes, corn and beans. If
these prices are put down where they
belong less meat will be eaten and the
public will get relief from that source.
Food nrices are due for a dron and food
purveyors will accept the situation
gracefully if they are wise."
New York, Sept. 24. (By A. P.)
A decline in food prices and n gradual
reduction in prices charged by restau
rants throughout the country was pre
dicted hero today by August Jansscn,
president of the Society of Restau
rateurs. "In New York," he said, "restau
rant prices will drop as the result of a
co-operntlvo purchasing plan under
which n number of restaurants have
combined to buy their foodstuffs."
Erwin Describes
Will-o'-Wisp Life
Contlnunl from race One
automobile. The weather was so cold
nnd the roads bo icy that we thought
nt nny minute we would slide off and
crash into a tree.
"We stopped the car and' tried to
go to sleep, but it was too cold.
"When we arrived in Baltimore
Crcedon called up Furey and he came
over to see me. Creedon started to get
worried about his wife nnd snld he
wanted to como back to Philadelphia.
"I gave Crcedon money instead of send
ing him for more, ns he testified. Al
though he testified ho was a single man,
he told me ho had n wife, but that he
didn't wnnt his mother to know It."
Tells of "Flight Auto"
"I left Baltimore about January 10.
I always rode in a sedan. It was blue
black and the night before I surren
dered, I rnn It into the barn, where I
am told It still is.
"Al Mitchell never delivered a car
to me In his life. And I haven't hail
any conversation with either Mitchell
or Schuch for two and one-half years
nrlor to this, nlthough I know them
both well."
He was then turned over to District
Attorney McAvoy )for cross-examination.
1'nder cross-pxnmlnntlon, he said ho
rpulb.ed he was n fugitive from jus
tice for more than two jeurs and thnt
he realized he was evading the draft
.hen he did not nppear for physical
cMimlnation.

never stayed at hotols or rooming
houses for more than a night nt a time
unless it was mining or other condi

"From Wheeling we went to Indian

night. I have no relatives theie thnt
I know of. Prom there Grover and I
went to Peoria. III. We were there u
day and then started back to Philadel
phia nnd arrived here In tho latter part
of August.
"I went to my farm and Grover kept
on cnlnsr. I don't know where. I
stayed it home for at least three weeks
then."
"Then what happened? ' asked Mr.
McAvov.
"Then Grover came to me by him
self und we two went to Ilagerstown.
This was in Kcptember. Wt. stayed
there bevernl weeks und on most of the
davs went fishing.
"We stayed at a hotel there, but I
don t know who did tho registering."

"Was Schroedel with you on this
trip?" Mr. McAvoy asked.
"Most assuredly, he was not. Grover
and I wcro there alone."
"Then when did you get home
again?"
At this stage Dlr. Bean objected, say

a recital of whero Erwin was when ho
evaded tho draft was Interesting, It was
not important In tbe present caso bo
causo Erwin was not on trial.
Mr. McAvoy agreed and asked Erwin
where he was after April 1, 1010.
Erwin answered:
"I was at home attending to my farm
for a few months prior to that dato.
My wife was living then. Mr. and Mrs.
Parker also lived with us.
"Furey was on two of maybe three
trips, but three at tho very most. I
don't know about Furey being on any
trips with Grover. I was home when
my wife died. But I did not attend
the funeral, because I was sure tho
federal agents would be there.
"On April 20 Crcedon and I started
for Baltimore about eight or nine
o'clock in the evening."
"Were Romlg and Grover nlong?"
Mr. McAvoy asked.
"Yes, they wcrej we met them nt the
Fifty-second street home of my mother
and Grover. Romlg and Grover brought
out the sandwiches and the coffco which
we used." '
"What did you do when you came
back?"
Spent Much Time on Farm
"I stayed around ay homo looking
after my farm,"
"When was your next trip?"
"In November, when we went gun
ning." "Whero were you during December
of last year?"
"I was at my own homo looking
after my farm."
"Where were you on January 7, the
day Grover woa captured in his home?"
"I was home looking after my farm."
"Did you sleep In the house any time
In January?"
"No, I never did. I slept In the
barn."
"Were regular sleeping quarters fixed
up for you?"
"No; I just had a blanket1."
"Wasn't It mighty cold for you to
sleep with just a blanket?"
"It sure was," Erwin admitted with
a wry smile, "but I needed to take extra
precautions,"
Went to Indiana and Ohio
"Where did you go from Wheeling?"
"To Columbus, O., and from there to
a little town in Indiana, but I can't re
member its name."
"Let me refresh your mind," said
Mr. McAvoy. "Were you ever in Sa
vannah, Ga.?"
Erwin smiled and wild he was, but
that It was on another trip.
'Didn't you go. back to Baltimore?'
Mr. McAvoy asked.
"No, the only time I wentjto Balti
more again was when I was coming
back to surrender.
"Where wcro you when you made up
your mind to surrender?"
"I was in Lafayette, Ind. I come
home nnd got Braun, who got Romlg
to take mo to Governors Island."
"Do you know the Ehrlch family?
"No. I do not. The only person I
know Is Nellie."
And then he was excused.
Woman Sajis Furey Lied
Before Erwin took the stand, Miss
Nellie Ehrlch, the "woman In the case,"
who Furey said traveled about the coun
try with Erwin while he was fugitive,
was called.
Sho also said Furey lied, nnd said
she had never seen Erwin until she
saw him in the courtroom this week.
Her connection with the Uergdoll fam
ily, she snld, was through the Brauns,
with whom she has been friends for
several jrars.
Miss Ehrlch, who is twenty-two years
old. extremely pretty, and wore n dark
blue suit and a big hat, said her home
Is In Lynchburg, Va.. nnd that her
family has a summer homo in Atlantic
City.
"Furey told n bunch of lies." she
flashed after she had Identified him nnd
Mr. Bean asked her If ho had told the
truth when ho related an automobile
trip with her and Erwin to Phllailel- 1
phia from Baltimore and back. The
girl's southern accent was pronounced
when she became angry,
"I never saw Furey before I met him
in the Braun home on April 15, last,
tho day on which ho said ho, Erwin
and I drove up from Baltimore," she
said.
"I came from Lynchburg, nnd got
to the Braun homo by taxi from the
West Philadelphia station nbout fi
o'clock in the morning.
Prior to the opening of the trlnl today
there was a dramatic meeting between
the accused mother nnd Erwin. Mrs.
Bergdoll wa sitting at tho frout of the
courtroom when he entered at 10:10
o'clock.
She jumped from her sent and rnn
to meet him. They met In the center of
tho room. Sho threw her arms around
him and kissed him several times. Then
they took Beats, both wiping tears from
their eyes. ...
Bergdoll was clothed in ins prison
uniform of snuff-colored denim. He had
been nowly shaved before leaving thi
Frankford arsenal guardhouse this
morning to testify.

VOTE IS "LIKE A DREAM"
Aunt's Prophecy Borne Out, 8ays
8usan Anthony's Niece
The women's "justlco bell." which
wilt be rung tomorrow to celebrate the
political emancipation of women, should
find a resting place alongside the Lib
erty Bell In Independence Hall.
This is the thought of Mit Lucy
Anthony, niece of Susan B. Anthony,
after whom the suffrage amendment was
named. Miss Anthony is nt the Br.
Anna Howard Shaw memorial house at
Moylan, Delaware county.
"It seems like the realization of a
dream," she said. "We know it was
coming, and now women nro voting in
virtually all countries. This bears out
the prophecy of my aunt, made sev
eral yean ago. She said that women
would be voting the world over by
1020.
"The celebration in Independence
Square tomorrow will be a wonderful
one. It truly bolongs Jn that historic
old park, ;io other place being so fitted
for a celebration of Us kind.
'And the 'Justice bell' will" have its
place In history beside the glorious old
relic that rang liberty from the belfry
pf the Hall In 1770. I believe the new
be.ll of liberty should be given a resting
plnee of honor alongside the old one."
Mrs. Ann Anthony Bacon, sister of
Miss Anthony, who is with her, snld:
"Both men and women have reason for
rejoicing over the recent victory fpr
woman suffrage. Justice in thn form
of full citizenship is at last meted out
to nan tho population of the united
States, and justice never fails to brlnir
benefits and blessings to thoso who
Invoke her.
"May tho justice boll neal out Its lov
for the noble pioneers who have blazed
tho path that we women of .today may
enter."
