SEES BLUE-LAW GAIN
Official Declares Stopping of Sunday
Baseball Favors Old Act
Officials of the Lord's Day Alliance
of Pennsylvania i-co in tho action of the
authorities at Essington, Darby and
Highland Park, in stopping Sunday
baseball n reaction in favor of observ
ance of the act of 17f4.
"Three notable victories for the
forcc of righteousness, " declared the
'r' Her. Dr. P. Y. Schelly, field secretary
of the alliance, yenterday. Dr. Schelly
is touring Pennsylvania in n campaign
against possible action by the next I.eg-
. isltture to "llboroliio" the Sunday law.
"The argument that tho Sunday law
Is obsolete Is wholly without founda
tion," Dr. Schelly says in a statement
issued to church leaders. "This argu
ment in frequently advanced by advo
cates of a 'liberal' or 'open Sunday'
law, both within and without the
church. For the last twenty years bills
bare been introduced in every Legisla
ture tMrcpenl or 'liberalize' the law of
jtih. and tney uavo oeen invariably de
feated by largo majorities. Tho renre-
" eentatives of the people of Pennsylva
nia always vote them down.
"To sav the law Is obsolete, because
it is continually violated is ridiculous.
The same thing might be snid of the
laws egalnflt gumbling and social evils.
Tbcy are being violated every day, but
nobody has the hardihood to claim thnt
these laws are 'obsolete' and should b
repealed.

Prospective Purchaser Views
i
Thompson House, Thon $20,-
000 in Jewels Disappear
THIRD OF BIG ROBBERIES
No trace has been found of jewels
valued at $20,000 which were stolen
late Saturday night from the homo of
Mrs. Samuol S. Thompson, of 2020.
Spruce street.
The police nre looking for a man de-j
scribed as about fifty years old, well
dressed and of dignified dcmrnnir, who
called at the Thompson home at 10i
o'clock Satin day night nnd posed a n1
prospective purebnser of their home,!
advertised for sale.
After the man had apologized for1
calling at such a late hour, on the pre
text that he w.is leaving Philadelphia
thnt night, be was shown through every
room in the home by a servant.
The well-dressed Mtrnnger said he
was well pleaed with the house. Short
ly after he left, the jewelry was dls
eovfrcd missing.
Included in the loot were n womnn'
gold watch, with "S. S. T. to My Wife,
K. L. T.," a gold chttelnlne -watch
chain set with twenty diamonds, n
large diamond lolltalre ring, a woman's
gold ring, n ring set with n Hungarian
opal and thirty diamonds, and a man's
gold band ring, sot with three dia
monds. Several small pins nnd brooches were
also stolen. The jewels were not in
sured. The Thompson robbery is the third
jewel theft of Importance In or near
Philadelphia in the last two weeks. The
police nro still working on the theft
of more than $300,000 worth of gems
from the home of George II. McFnd
den, Jr., at Vlllanova, and of the $23,
000 jewel robbery nt the home of Wil
liam Sackctt Duell nt Mendowbrook,
Pa.
Cantaln Sweeney. Cantaln AVhalcy
and Detective Jlrynnt are following a
clew today which they believe may clear
up the mystery attached to tho disap
pearance of the jewelry belonging to
Mrs. McFadden.
Detective Bryant went to Wilkes
IJarrc, and the two captains have just
returned from New York. Captain
Sweeney said thoy were making prog
ress, although, the disappearance of
the jewelry was still somewhat of a
mystery.

ASKS U. S. TO BORROW
TO FINANCE FARMERS
Requests Federal Reserve Board
to Recommend This Method
to Permit Holdingof Crops
Washington, Oct. 18. (By A. P.)
Declaring that "some one" must finance
this year's crops, George P. Hampton,
managing director of tho Farmers' Na
tional Council, today wrote the Federal
Reserve Board suggesting thnt in event
the board definitely decides against
making nn effort to get its members to
discount farm paper and warehouse
receipts, the government borrow money
and deposit It in natlonnl banks to be
loaned to farmers at not more than 1
per cent in excess of the rate the gov
ernment pays.
rnrmers thus would be able, Mr.
Hampton said, to hold at least a part of
their crops until they can get cost of
production plus n reasonable profit or
until there is an effectivo consumption
demand.
Either tho primary producer or those
who nre seeking to get control of farm
products and who nre able to get
credit from some source must finance
tho crop, the letter said.
"The men seeking to corner agri
cultural products will not reduce the
prices nt 'which they sell crops any
longer than they have to," Mr. Hamp
ton declnred. "The law of supply and
demand will be unavailing in case these
hoarders can obtain an embargo on im
portation of farm products in crude
condition, as it is intimated they in
tend to do."

BOOTLEG PARADISE
5000 Getting Rich in Illegal
Liquor Traffic, Federal Of
ficials Estimate
DRYS SEE LONG, HARD FIGHT
New Yorlc, Oct. IS. Eight months
of national prohibition apparently
has failed to cut down New York's
whlsky-drlnking. Tho grocery counter
has been substituted for tho mahogany
bar and tho barber nnd bellboy are
doing the work of tho bartender of
other days. Prohibition as It Is now
enforced Is not prohibition, It Is
merely a new phaso of the liquor traffic.
Federal agents who nro trying, with
out much success, to enforce tho liquor
laws and the "drys" who are forever on
the warpath against tho demon rum
give it as their conviction that up to
date national prohibition, nt least in
this state, is almost a complete failure.
Careful investigation made by tho
New York Herald has developed the fact
liquor trafficking is boing carried on in
the metropolis to nn extent that Is
amazing. Officials admit It and declare
they ennnot stop It. Bootlegging and
ftmilf-fellnf urn nrirnntzed. modem ln-
du8trlcs and on a scale which makes tho
romantic moonshinlng of a decauo ago
appear almost ludicrous.
Tho Herald's findings follow pub
lication of n scries of articles in the
Ptmuo Ledoeu by J. C. Daschbach
which denominated New York n new
Klondike, so great were the profits
of the bootleggers.
It la tho rstimnte of federal agents
who have been trailing bootleggers for
months that there arc upward of R000
persons mnklng bootlegging n business
and nre getting rich nt it.
frv" lcmWn recoimlze they httVO a
long, bnrd fight ahead before anything
like prohibition Is rcnllicd here.
"Wo have 200 enforcement officers In
thin Rtnio." Fmnk L. BoTd. prohibi
tion -enforcement officer, says. TThe
federal government appropriation lor

BARNETT MODIFIES
HAITIAN CHARGES
Killings Not "Promiscuous'but
Sufficient to Warrant Probo,
He Says
CONFERS WITH DANIELS
Washington, Oct. 18. Brlgadltr
General Barnott, formerly commandant
of tho marine corps, yesterday, follow
ing a conference with Secretary Danltlj
modified tho statement contained in hli
report on Haitian conditions, In which
ho said n statement by counsel In a
court-martial case "showed virtually
indiscriminate killing of natives h"i
been going on for some time."
General Harnett in his statement now
??? ". "" .not n,cnn "promiscuoua"
klfilng, but thon "without due Si
of law," nnd that he only considered
the statement of counsel sufficient to
warrant nn investigation.
Tho statement follows :
"I have consistently refrained frora
giving out any information nnd from
granting any interviews on the Haitian
situation. Any nctlon taken by mC m
tho commandant of tho corps was taken
itnnalrlA-lni. Anlw tl ...1 . .t . M
j " " . B"uu ol luo corps
and tho proper performance of duty bv
the corps to which I am so proud to
belong,
"Sly official letter of September 27
1010, covered the case fully, but at tha
request of the secretary of Uio navy I
should like to make it clear that thu
statement in my letter of October
1010, as follows: namely, 'a statement
by counsel showed me that practically
Indiscriminate killing of natives,' etc.,
was meant by mo to express 'without
due process of law,' nnd not as MmS
now to bo misinterpreted as 'promis
cuous,' and I further meant, of course,
that such 'statement of counsel' would
have weight in my mind only when
proved, nnd In' order to have him provo
or dlsprovo the truth of these state
ments I wrote tho letter of October 2,
1010, to tho brigade commander.
"I am a- soldier and not nn author.
I feel certain that tho brigade com
mander, to whom the letter was writ
ten, fully understood my meaning.
"This whole matter refers to only a
very small portion of the marino cornj
on duty In Haiti. My full report shows
that duty in general was splendidly
performed by tho marines."
WILL SAVE CHILD LIVES
New Health Council Head Plans
Campaign Against Disease
Dr. J. Blair Spencer, who resigned
last week as physlclan-ln-chlef of th
Department of Public Welfare to be
come bead of tho medical staff of tlis
Philadelphia Health Council nnd Tu
berculosis Committee, has instituted a
campaign to reduce disease nnd deaths
among tho 200,000 children of the city
under six years old.
Dr. Spencer says no disease-prevention
work has ever been attempted
among children of this class. He hopes
to save thousands of lives annually.
He has issued a warning against
congestion, which will become worst
when the city receives its quotac of Im
migrants now- pouring into Ellis Island.
"They will crowd Into our ono ami
two room tenements, "which are already
occupied to the point of BniTocatlon,"
ho said. "Every squaro inch of these
disease-breeding spots is already taken
tip, but, as theii&aying goes, there Is
always room for ono more. And that
ono or two more will bring a calamity
of disease to Philadelphia."
