Hy the Aoclw1 lfes

leader on conditions in Ireland, printed
in the London newpnperH today.
',1n plnln EurIMi." says Sir Ed
ward, "It mean" 'abandon nil thcine who
are loyal to the crown ; leave them to
the tender mercies of their Sinn Koln
lellow-countrymrn. nnd If they murder
each other and exlinmt themselves in
Blanjhte r, we will look on without con
crn.' This In n policy of scuttle with
a Venjeancf."
Itefcrrlns to Vlccount nrey'n sugges
tion to lenve Orent llrltaln to control
Ireland's forelen policy nnd the army
and navy. Sir Edward continue:
"If they refuse to accept this, what
then? If they burn naval stations, at
tack sailors nnd soldiers nnd nssntilnnte
officers, then I suppose Viscount Grey
would say we must ro a step further
and allow an Irish republic. Is the
murder of British officers In Indln to
produce the same result? Why not?
Sir Edward recalls that during the
war Eamonn de Vnlera asserted that
a frceilreland would be the destruction
of, the nrltlsh sen power and thnt Ar
thur Griffith said the freedom of the
eas would never be nttninnble while
Ireland was In her present state be
cause Ireland's geographical and com
mercial tioaltlon gave her the key to
the Atlantic and Mediterranean trade.
Commenting on VJscotint Grey's
statement thnt nobody wants to accept
the home rule bill now before the House
of Commons, and that Irishmen will re
fute to operate It, Sir Edward says it
is quite true that the T'lstcnnen prefer
their .present position under the imperial
Parliament.
At editorial yesterday in the New
Statesman, n weekly review of poli
tics and literature, charges Tremier
I.loyd George with responsibility
for tKe "Black and Tan" reprisals in
Ireland. It snys it understands, upon
authority which "we find it impossible
to doubt," that the policy of meeting
outrage with outrage was deliberately
connlilered and deliberately decided upon
in Pownine street four months nirn.
atortly after the appointment of Sir
iinmar urcenwood as chlci secretary for
Ireland.
'The necessity for camouflage." adds
the newspaper, "was recognized in nd
ranee, and all possible precautions
therefore, were taken to prevent respon
sibility for the policy being brought home
to any particular individual."
It Is suggested by the New States
man that neither General Macready
(military commander of Ireland) nor
Sir Hamar Is directly responsible, but,
ays tiie paper, "the Black and Tan
renrlsnls are directed through some
at thorlty from London nominally
through some subordinate at Dublin
Castle and Sir Edward Carson is be
hind' the whole movement."
The New Statesman is the organ
of the Fabian Society, the group of
"intellectual Socialists" with which
euch men as Sidney Webb, Bernard
Shnw and II. G. Wells are affiliated.

W. Murray Crane
Expires at Dalton
Continued from race One
is no doubt a commonplace to say our
commonwealth will never be the snnic
without him, but his loss will be felt In
a way that will not be commonplace.
This is no time for a recital of his
achievements j how greatly he strove
for the good of his fellow men, with
what courage and devotion he served
them ! ollw unselfish ho was, never
seeking his own, always solicitous for
others. For the influence for good thnt
he was in our state and nation, for the
gift of such a life, for giving thnnks for
their hnving been, for seeking counsel
' and strength to bear their loss men
will turn alike to the great 'Giver of all
good and perfect gifts.' There Is no
other adequate way to cherish the mem
ory of the friendship of Wlnthrop Mur
ray Crane."
An outstanding characteristic of
Wlnthrop Murray Crane, former gov
ernor of Mnssnchusetts and for two
terms a United States senator from
that state, was the fact that he at
tained eminence In public life without
being nn orator. Although he served
eight years lu the Senate, It was said
of him that he never made what really
could be called a "speech" in that body.
The successor of Senator Hoar whose
wit and eloquence rang through the halls
of Congress, Crane's chief claim to dis
tinction was that of silent leadership
and of a party mediator.
Senator Crnnc on more than one oc
casion in the interval from 1004 to
1013, when Hepublicnn differences de
veloped nnd party measures were en
dangered, demonstrated his ability as a
harmonizer, and by using his persua
sive powers in personal interviews with
other senators, with whom he was pop
ular, restored peace. On one occasion
the fate of an important bill appeared
to depend upon the vote of one senntor.
His colleagues had tried in vain, by
many methods, to learn the probable
attitude of this mail. Crane, who hnd
been talking the matter over with a
group of Republican senators, re
marked: "Walt a minute."
He crossed the floor of the Senate
chamber to the recalcitrant's desk and
conversed with him in low tones for a
few moments. Returning to his friends,
he announced, with a smile: "He'll vote
for the bill."
"How did you find out?" wbb the
astonished Inquiry.
"I asked him, was Crane's reply.
Manufacturer In Politics
Born in Dnlton. Mncs., April 23,
18Ti3, the son of Zeuns 51. Crane, a
paper manufacturer, young Crane wns
educated in the public schools and at
Wllllston Seminary. He never at
tended college, but after leaving the
seminary entered the paper mills found
ed by his grandfather nt Dalton, and
in them he mnlntalned nn interest
throughout his life. For many years
these mills produced the paper used by
the t'nited States Government In en
graving its currency, bonds and notes.
Because of his Interest in this industry
nnd his desire to continue with it. Mr.
Crane, nt the beginning of President
Roosevelt's ndmlnistratlon, declined an
Invltntlon to enter his cabinet as sec
retary of the treasury.
President Roosevelt held the "silent"
Massachusetts nmn In high esteem,
Crane had been unusually successful In
averring strikes and disagreements at
the Dalton mills. In 11)02. when he
wns governor of Massachusetts, he wns
instrumental In adjusting by arbitra
tion a serious strike of teamsters and
freight handlers in Boston. Later, it
is said, he suggested to President Roose
velt the method by which tho strike
of several hundred thousand coal miners
in the anthracite fields wns settled.
Three years as lieutenant governor
nnd three yeats as governor of Massa
chusetts preceded Crane's entrance Into
the .Senate to till the vacancy In 10IM
caused by the death of George F. Hoar.
Appointed to the Senate on October 12,
11)0-1, he wns elected tho following
January for the term ending in 1007
and Tf-elected for the term ending In
10111. At the expiration of his second
term he declined to seek rcnominatlon.
During his career In the Senate Mr.
Crane was recognised as one of the
"big rour or the Republican chiefs in
that body, the others being Penrose,
Aldrlch nnd Stnoot.
Mr. Craui) had been n member of the
Republican National Committee from
1802 to 1000 nnd worn 1004 to 1010
hnd been a delegate -at -large to five na
tional conventions.
Successful in Agriculture
He was always Interested In scientific
agriculture. Bv the application of busi
ness methods he developed 2700 acres
of neglected Innd In Dalton Into a suc
cessful farm. Mr. Crane made ninny
important gifts to his home town and
gnvc largely to charitable objects. He
was credited with having saved many
Individuals and small compnnies in the
Berkshlres from bankruptcy when they
were overcomo by business difficulties.

Democrats Hope
League May Win
Contmned from Tat One
tlonallsm is stronger than the solidity
of organized labor. The German la
borer wrlt-hs other considerations than
the appeals of union leaders. The
Irishman, too, may listen to his union
leader or he may listen to Sinn Fein.
Workmen Explain Preference
This was apparent in the vote nnd
labor polls to which allusion has been
mnde. Many of tho workmen were not
content to write their preference on
the ballot. They gave their reasons,
such as: "I would be for Jimmy Cox,
but I am against the British League
of Nations." Or, "I like Cox, but
Ireland should be free."
Unorganized labor, so far as the
newspaper polls show, is much less
for Cox than Is organized labor. Tests,
so far made, indicate that It stands
about eleven to ten in favor of Hard
ing. The farmer is everywhere the most
stable factor politically. He Is likely
to be regular and partisan, except in
the Northwest. Polls taken in Ohio
show that there is little shift In the
farmer vote. That shift here is in
favor of Harding. Part of it is prob
ably due to nationalist considerations.
The farmer is usually pretty "sot" in
his politics, unless ho is angry at his
party because he is a German.
Polls, whether made by parties or by
newspapers, are Interesting rather
than conclusive. What they show hero
is given in this view. But the out
standing fact is that, in general agree
ment, Ohio Is now a Republican stnte.
There Is every probability that it will
be found so on Election Day.
PUTS CREDIT UP TO LEAGUE
New Financial Plan Involves Action
by World Tribunal
Brussels, Oct. 2. (By A. P.) Con
sideration of nnother world-credit
srhemo engrossed the international
financial conference today. It wns pre
sented by Doctor Tor-Moulcn, of Hol
land. His proposnl was that the ques
tion of international credit be handed
over to tho League of Nations, which
would appoint n centrnl committee on
commercial credits.
The countries desiring to use the fa
cilities of this committee would com
municate to it the nature and extent of
the securities they would pledge for
credits to importers. If the securities
were npproved, tho central body would
fix the amount of credit to bo given,
nnd tho League of Nations would issue
interest-bearing bonds to the nmount
of the credit furnished.

Women Denied
Right to Register
Continued from Face One
when the petitions were presented to
tho court, or personal application made
we do not pass upon or decide any
questions of the right of the peti
tioners to vote at the November elec
tion." Extracts Are Quoted
Members of the registration bonrd
today quoted those extracts of the two
decisions. The commissioners said thej
must be guided by the law and have nc
alternative.
Women braved the chill air and
turned out early for their last oppor
tunity today to register.
Furs and boudoir caps made an ir
resistible combination that fairly took
some registrars' breath away where the
early morning applicants lined up for
enrollment at the 1380 polling places.
Women's organizations arc behind a
"bigger registration" drive today.
They are meeting directly the challenge,
thnt the women of Philadelphia are
political slackers.
Doorbell ringing was begun simul
taneously with the opening of the divi
sion houses at 7 o'clock, as part of a
city-wide effort to have every qualified
woman on the voting lists. Large
signs bcnrlng tbe words, "Register
Here" were erected by the Republican
Women's Committee to mark the
polling places. These signs were de
cided upon following scores of com
plaints from women who were unahle
to locate the place to register nt the
last two registration days.
Unless there Is a record-breaking
turnout today, the number of voters
qua'ifird to ballot for Harding or Cox
next November 2 will be far below
expectations. To date only 204,000
men and women have registered, of a
total of 700,000 persons nsscssed. This
showing Is a bitter dlsapnolntment to
the League of Women Voters, tho Re
publican Women's Committee and
other leading women's organizations.
Harry D. Wescott, a Democratic
member of the board of registration
commissioners, will take his mother-in-law
to a polling place this afternoon
nnd have her registered.
Mrs. Ellen C. Peterson, 715 South
Forty-seventh street, the commis
sioner's mother-in-lnw, is eighty-four
years old and the widow of a Civil War
veteran.
"MrH. Peterson hns always been a
Republican, "Wescott snld, "but she
is going to vote the Democratic ticket.
She favors the League of Nations, be
cause she thinks it will prevent wars
in the future."
The registrars had not yet opened
their books when two widows, Mrs.
Sarah Bell, 4144 RIdee avenue, and
Mrs. Emma Sires, 4140 Ridge avenue,
appeared at the thirty-third division
of the Thirty-eighth ward, 4117 Ridge
avenue.
They walked into the polling place
arm nnd arm, and greeted John Ty
rell, the registrar with "Wc'ro both
Republicans and "
"Wait a minute." said Tyrell, for
many years a registrar. "I'll have to
swear you."
Tyrell has his own way of giving
the oath, nnd Mrs. Bell, the first to be
examined, asked what the "hocus pocus
was all about." Tyrell explained the
truth must be told and went on :
"Approximate age, forty-one yenrs,"
gazing nt Mrs. Bell, who is the widow
of Robert Bell, a reserve policeman
whose station was outside tho Bellevue
Stratford, and who died three years ago
of tho "flu."
"Correct," replied Mrs. Bell.
"Weight 230 pounds?" the. registrar
continued, again making his own esti
mate. "No, not 2rS0 pounds, 215," Mrs.
Bell corrected.
The widows were happy over their
registration nnd the trifling cost of
tbelr polltax receipts.
"Now we can vote as long as ws
want to on theso receipts, can't we?"
Mrs. Sires asked.
"No, only two years," Tyrell re
plied. At Klttenhous Square
Among the prominent women who
registered in tho RIttcnhouse Square

were the following :

To Gas Consumers:
When the great war began, faded by increasing costs and the
scarcity o efficient assistance, The United Gas Improvement Company
found it necessary to abandon the free service which it had been giving
to its customers in the care of their gas ranges, water heaters and
other appliances.
This has resulted in dirt-stopped burners and appliances an
inconvenience which many customers have endured rather than pay the
cost of having the trouble corrected.
Such troubles are being mistakenly attributed to the change from
the Candle Power Standard to the British Thermal Unit standard, and
complaints are reaching us indirectly through the newspapers and
various Business Men's Associations, doubtless because it is feared that
a complaint direct to the Company will result in a charge.
xu u-1? absolutely essential, because of the scarcity of gas oil, that
the British Thermal Unit Standard be permanently adopted in Phila
delphia. We propose to prove to all gas consumers that it is possible to give
as good service under the new standard as under the old. Therefore,
for the balance of this year no charge will be made for adjusting and
cleaning uui uurnurs una uppiiances.
