SERVANT DETA NED
IN JEWEL ROBBERY
Police Officials Probe Former
Record of Employe In Mc
Fadden Residence.,,.
DOUBT OUTSIDE METHOD
A servant has been detained In the
Wayne pollco station since Monday in
connection with the $325,000 jewelry
robbery nt the homo of Mr. and Mrs.
George H. McFadden, -Jr., at Villa
nova, on the morning of October 0. '
This becamo known today when
Captain Edward J. Sweeney, of the
Kadnor township police and Captain
qf Detectives -Whalcy, of Itocncstcr. N.
Y., went to New York to investigate tho
record of tho detained Bcrvant before he
came here.
Captain Sweeney said it had been
learned this servant was employed by
n Now York family several years ago
and that ho left tho services of tho
family following the disappearance of
jewels valued nt $25,000.
"There is n possibility that the rob
bery was the work of an outside mnu,
expert in second-story methods," Cap
tain Sweeney said. To illustrate that
'tho robbery could havo been committed
by an outsido man, ho climbed the lat
tice work to a second -story ledge, crept
nlong tho ledge to the window of the
bathroom and reached into the bathroom
to a dresser on which tho Jewels were
placed. s
"Looks tike Inside Work"
"But it doesn't look like the work
of an outsider," Captain Sweeney said.
A review of the incidents surround
ing tho robbery indicnte that the thief
had an lutimato knowledge not only of
tho McFadden lome, but also was fa
miliar with Mrs. McFadden's custom of
keeping the valuablo gems In n Japanesa
box on a dressing table in her private
bathroom, connected with her boudoir.
"Mrs. aictaiiuen wore tnc jewels at
a dinner given Friday ulght at her
home," Captain Sweeney said. "The
guests left at 11 :30 o'clock and at mid
night Mrs. McFadden retired, placing
the $300,000-necklaco in tlio Jnpanesc
box, together with an imitatiou neck
lace and other jewelry.
"Tho screen in the window of tho
bathroom was -unopened Saturday
morning. Tho only other means of ac
cess to tho bathroom is a door connect
ing it with Mrs. McFadden's room.
"I believe the robbery was committed
Saturday morning, after Mrs, McFad
den nroso nnd wns breakfasting In a
room next to her boudoir. Sho uroso at
7 o'clock. From then until 8 o'clock sho
was in an adjoining room, and tho door
of her boudoir was closed.
"That was the best opportunity pre
sented for the pulling of tho job.
Screen was Closed
"Tho fact that tho window screen in
tho bathroom was closed, and that the
thief know cxactlv where tho Jewels
were, without ransacking tho room,
points to some one working from witbiu.
"Another thing that polnta to an in
side worker is the fact that tho thief,
after obtaining tho jewels, opeued tho
second drawer of Mrs. McFadden's
dressing table and abstracted a black

SENATOR LEANS TOWARD
SIDE OF BUSINESS MEN
Organization Secretary 'Simply
Has to Do Something to

IJu a Staff Correipondtnt
Atlantic City, Oct. 10. A striking
phaso of tho Grundy-Crow clash In Re
publican organization politics In Penn
sylvania came to light today when It
was learned officially that Senator Wil
liam 13. Crow, Republican state choir-
man, was not taking any part in the
presidential campaign and would not
tako any.
Tho state chairman, who is nt odds
with Joseph R. Grundy, president of
the' Pennsylvania Manufacturers Asso
ciation, has notified AV. Harry Baker,
secretary of tho stato committee, that
he will nave no share in the campaign.
It Is explained that Senator Crow Is
111.
However, the Grundy-Crow feud nnd
the situation ns set forth by George Nox
McCain in his article in the Evbkino
PunLio riEDorai announcing hat tho
stato committee had no funds, were tho
subjects of a specially arranged con
ference here yesterday between Senator
Penrose, Mr. Baker and Mr. Grundy.
Senator Crow was to have been in at
tendance, but it is understood ho will
B-
not meet Senator Penrose until next
week.
Crow to Win Point
Senator Penroin went over with Mr
Baker and Mr. Grundy the question of
campaign funds for tlie state com
mlttee. It was evident, after the con
ferenco was over, that Senator Penrose
leaned more to the Grundy than to the
Crow side of the balance. It is under
stood, however, that Crow will win a
noint or two in that somo funds how
much is not stated win do auoctcu to
i the state committee to satisfy the de
mands of party workers. As it is now
all campulgn funds aro going through
the hands of the committee Utrcctly in
touch with senator i'cnroso or iur,
Grundy.
Mr. Baker, who once beforo arranged
a harmony pact between Mr. Grundy
and Senator Crow, was instrumental lu
winning another compromise. Mr.
Baker' 'la anxious that' Pennsylvania
shall havo tho largest, possible-majority
for the Harding-Coolldge ticket. He
will not bo'.satisfld with just winning
tnc state, anis argument won recogni
tion. of a sort for the stato committee.
or at least will win recognition. The
stato committee a treasury is still
empty.
Has to Hare Money
Senator Penrose, generally speaking,
macs tnc position cunt mismess men
aro really running the campaign and
that they do not &eed the help of the
stato committee to any extent. Ho
indicated that whatever help was re
quired by the business men would be
given by Mr. Baker, and that Is
where tho stato committee s treasury
comes In. Mr. Baker has to have
money in tho treasury to do tho thing
right, as it is, and especially with
tho business men "calling for help,"
Air. unKcr "simply has to do some
thing to appease the boys."
Senator Penrose said he and his con
forcen went over the Pennsylvania
situation by districts and found that
the Democrats "would not have a look
in anywhere." The senator said that
the "help of tho women voters and
leaders should not be overlooked in this
connection."
The senator told Mr. Grundy and
Mr. Baker that there was scarcely anv
hopo that Senator Hording would come
to Philadelphia or New York city be
fore election. 8enator Harding has
been advised by Republican managers
to stick to states In which there wcro
hot fights against the Republican
candidates for tho United States
Senate.

IJy SPICK HALL,
Tlio biggest crowd that ever saw La

the arena at Thirty-third and Spruce
streets this nfternoon. Although there
was no preliminary gamo today, nt
Frunkliu Field, the funs began to gather
at an early hour and when the two
teams emerged from 'Welghtnian Ilall,
ten miuutcH before tho game was sched

had been tuken. Only a few bare wec
tlons were M'cn nud these were largely
in tlie temporary tttands which had been
erected on three sides nf the field in
front of tho Munds over the cinder run
ning track.
The Pennsylvania rooters' section wns

Although tho duy wns too hot for

it uncomfortable for the bpectntors and
hard on the players. In spite of this

FIGHT FOR SENATOR BITTER
Ilv CLINTON W. GILnEIlT
Htiin Correspondent Evenlnc r uMle T.edrer

Milwaukee. Oct. 10. Senator Len'
root's re-election is In doubt. Hut
here is very little li!tliIiond of the
Hepublicnns losing a senator from Wis
consin. The fight, which is to be n
bitter one, appears to be between Len
root, the regular Republican nominee,
uud James Thompson, the La Follette
Republican, who filed as independent
candidate a few days ago.
Tho situation is in n whirl and in a
mess. You get all sorts of views here
as to who the leading contenders are.
Some say it is a three-cornered race
between Lenroot, Thompson nnd Paul
Rclnsch, the Democratic candidate, who
used to be minister to China. A for
mer governor of Wisconsin gave this
opinion. "Hut mind you," he said,
"what I say is true for tho next ten
minutes, for beyond thut deponent says
not."
Some sny it is between Lenroot nnd
Heinsch, nnd somo sny it is between
Thompson and Rclnsch. Rut when you
Inquire sufficiently you find that the only
greut political dividing line that Wis
consin knows is La Follette and nntl
La Follette. It Is not Democrat nnd
Republican, nud Tiionipxou Is the La
Follette candidate and Lenroot is the
unti-Lu Follette candidate. Wisconsin
will divide along the historic cleavuge.
The real fight is between those two.
Would Mlu'mlze Thompson
The Socialists and the anti-La Fol
lette Republicans nnd the Democrats
would like to minimize tho importance
of the Thompson candidacy. Therefore,
they sny, he is out of it. Thcv want
to keep the Socialists from voting for
Thompson and also to keen tlu nntl
league elements generally from voting
for him on the ground that, being an
Independent, be hasn't n elinnpp. llnr
the locienl outcome of the situation is
inevitable. In a state which is strongly
radical, the tight is not between the two
relatively conservative candidates. It
is between tho strongest conservative
and the strongest radieul cnndldnte.
And these two respectively nre the Len-
root nnd tlThem,
Unlit. Vn nn enn ee th .,
That Lenroot has a certain advantage ' lnI"n, of "waymen decided to call a

Hut thnt advnntagc is not so great as
it seems. As Wisconsin has n sennrate
state and untlnunl ballot Mr. Lennvt
won't bo on tho same ballot with Hard
ing, but on tlie one which contains the
stnto ticket, and that ticket will be
cut forty ways for Sunday. Mr. Len
root's friends will mosfv wito aemnst
J. J. Hlnlne, the La Follette candidate
for governor, who won in tho primar
ies. Morgan, the anti-La Follette mail,
who also got a place nn that ballot as
a candidate for attorney gcnerul, now
nublicly announces amid loud annhiusc
that he will voto against his tiekct-as-soelate,
Hlniuc, nnd for the Democratic
candidate for governor, Robert Hruce
McCoy. Incidentally thirty Republican
newspapers havo declared against Rlaiiu
and for McCoy. Tlo Hon aud tho lamb

lot, but they get up in the night nnd

nntngo of a place on tho regular ticket.
It Is something, but uo ono knows
how much.
Primary's Indication
And Thompson, if disadvantageous
placed as an independent, has, too, a
certain advantage. You have to go back
to the primaries to hulire out what that
is aud then you cau only try to. In the

Government Has Done All in lis
Power to Avert Calamity, .
Premier Asserts '
MINERS REFUSED EVERY
OFFER MADE, HE DECLARES

ny tho Associated Press
London, Oct. 10. Premier Lloyd
George today addressed a message to
the nation with regard to the coal
strike. Ho f.ald the government had,
done evervthln? possible to avert the)
calamity, but that the miners, rejecting
all offers, wero now trying to win their
ends by force. The nation, he declared
would resist "such an attack with all Its
strength nnd there can be no doubt of
the issue." .,,
The premier's message read ns fol-
lows :
"Tho nation Is confronted with th$
coal strike. The government has made;
every effort consistent with Its dutv aa
trustee for tho people to avert this calanv,
ity. The proposals of the government"
hnvo been supported uy many oi ina
most .responsible leaders of the miner'
federation. They have been regarded by
all sections of the people as fair and'
reasonable. . w
All OITers Refused
"The government offered to submit
the miners' claims for nn increase la
wnzes to an Impartial tribunal and to.
abide by the resu't. This offer tho
miners refused. Tlie government offered
to civo the increase asked for if the'
miners would restore the present low?
production of coal to the figures of the.
carlv part of the present year.
"This. too. the miners refused nenlnst
the ndvice of their most experienced;
leaders. They are attempting now t;
rain their ends by force. The nation:
must and will resist such an atack with; , ft,
nil its strength, and tlie re can be no?
doubt of the Issue."
"The citizens must he'p each other tot;
'csscn the inconvenience and suffering
which the miners strike will eause. The;
supplies of coal for the public services:
nre suffieient. Tlie government will
insure the fair distribution of the availv

No Need for D'smay
"No one need underrate the damage
which this strike will do. but no one
vlll bo dismayed. We have been
through much more difficult times. With
steady purpose ami determination to do
luscice. cne nation win overcome nn its "!
difficulties." .. -
At the same time tne miners- icu
erntion issued n statement saying the
miners had been forced into the strike
because of the unyielding attitude of
the government in the fuco of .their
rensonnble elnims. which left tbehl
without nn alternative. The miners de
clare they allowed nmple time for ne
gotiations nnd point out that they modl-
lied their claims in tlie interest of pence"
nnd twice suspended their strike notices.
C. T. Cramp, assistant secretary of
the national unjon of rnilwnymcn, stated
today he had been instructed by the
executive of tho union to warn the
branches thut n serious situation would
nri-e if the miners were defeated, and
that this miiHt be borne in mind when
a sympathetic strike was being con
sideicd. lie had also been instructed,
he said, to tell the branches to be pre
pared to act on any instructions they
might receive as the result of the dele
gates' meeting next Wednesday.
.Men Quitting Mines
As the day progressed reports placed up
from the various coal districts said that
the miners were wu king out at the
end of their shifts, and thut all the
men had quit work in Southwest Wales
and in the Midlands. The miners in the .
Harnsiey district in South Yorkshire
bad quit, but were showing little en
thusiasm for the strike, uccordlng to
reports from the region.
Preparations for the great industrial
struggle prceipitated by the decision ot
the HritiHh coal mliier went grimly for
ward todny.
Mcnnwhllo the public was waiting
anxiously, even fearfully, for the real
beginning of tlie battle whose outcome
uone could foresee, since the action ot
the mtucrs hits nt the vitals of the coun
try.
