John 11. Wiggins', uncle of Brines,
who retained William A. Gray last
Saturday to defend his nephew, refused
early this afternoon to confirm the re
port. He did m. deny it. however, re
ferring the question to Mr. Gray.
Mr. Wiggins was. told of the rumors,
emanating from scyernl sources nt City

early hour thty-nfternoont
"I would rather refer that question

He explained further that he had been
Instructed by Mr. Gray to say nothing;
that lie had obeyed this advice to far,
and thought he had better continue to
follow it. .
When Mr. Gray was retained in the

Vital Needs of City's Business
Cannot Bo Met With
Present Funds
WORK TO TAKE FOUR YEARS
By GEORGE NOX McCAIX
Traffic conditions In the 'center of
the city, owing to pongestiou, have
been n nightmare to. tho police de
partment. Plans have been made and remade in
an attempt to regulate tho vehicular
movement on the main thoroughfares,
particularly cast of Nineteenth street
on Arch, Market. Chestnut nnd Walnut
streets, and on north and south thor
oughfares between City Hall and the
Delaware river.
The Highway Department is helpless
to relievu conditions. Money lack
ing. ' ,
.AU that can be done is patchu'ork
to render the jnniA thoroughfares pass
able. Relief can como only from a
comprehensive system of opening up
natural lines of travel that will reliev
pressure in the heart of the city.
Otherwise present conditions, costing
mercantile houses nnd industrial estab
lishments millions of dollars annually
in what may properly be termed lost
motion, will continue.
To relieve tills crowding of traffic ns
quickly ns possible it is proposed by tho
Department of Public Works to inau
gurate u system of repaying of an up-to-date
kind that will extend over u
period of at least four years.. It is n
falacy to suppose that the present sit
uation can lie entirely relict od In n feu-
months, or even In n year.
Tho budget ior 1021 originally con
tained nn item for Sfi.ooo.onn f,.r ..
paving from end to end thu old untural
lines of traffic that were established in
the days of William Penn.
This omount, na I pointed out on
Saturday, owing to the demands of
ofier departments including the famous
Municipal Court, nnd its $1,000,000
payroll has been cut down to $1,500,
000. This means the continuance of a
patch-work policy.
The great business interests of the
city, such organizations bb the Ohumber
of Commerce, und the urlous mer
chants' and citizens' associations und
community clubs have done little toward
demanding an improvement of the
situation a situation that is apparent,
nnd is costing business houses thousands
of dollars of unnecessary expense.
The carefully prepared plans of tho
Highway Department, evolved after
jears of study of n condltiou thnt Is
going from bad to worse, contemplate
the icpaviug of main nnd collateral
streets and avenues in such a way as to
mnke them nttrnctivo to auto truck
nnd team drivers, as well ns to render
direct communication speedy nnd
secure.
Jam on Delaware Acnue
A study of the plans of the Highway
Department discloses tho following os
a part of its muin features :
Delowu-e avenue from Queen street
to Fairmount avenue wns pa veil years
ago with granite block. Due to settle
ments and the wear and tear of travel,
it is today not only unsuitable to, but
Is uuusnblc for modern truffle.
Tho stagnation of vehicular move
ment around the ferr,yhoucs on busy
days, which hicks up for blocks on ad
joining streets, is but one argument for
the repaying of De'nwore avenue. Ve
hicles, instead of crowding Market
street can approach the ferries along
this avenue from tho extreme northeast
nud from the southern part of the city.
Delaware avenue from Queen strcot
south to Tnsker is a sample of what
might bu done nlong its entire length.
South of Queen street it is paved with
smooth-dressed granite blocks on a con
crete base, with cement grouted Joints.
It can be used as well by tho pleasure
cor ns by tho heavy truck.

EARLY LEAD OF HARDING

By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Mft Corresitomlrnt Ktrnlni 1'iilille T.rilcrr
dopvriotit, ItSO, lu rullla LtAocr Co.
Chicago, Oct. 25. The Democratic
party managers begin this week an nqV

ernor Cox similar to that which they
resorted to in the final dajs of the
I At'll 1-.. .. irvut
.1 lintlll I'lllIlIHIIKIl 111 li'iW.
The money fur the campaign has
been in nil cases subscribed locally, rep
resentatives of the national committee,
going out with advertising copy nnd
seeking the contributions to pay for its
publication. It is the fiunl drive to
put Cox over".
The Democratic campaign was slow
in getting stnrtcd and only really got
under way in the last two weeks. Either
because they sco some encouraging re
ports, or because they have gained con
fidence from actually getting to work,
the Dcmocrnts have become more hope
ful in the last fortnight.
They date the success which they
think they have achieved from the Des
Moines speech of Senntor Harding,
which they usscrt gae point to their
arguments for the League ot Nations.
Democratic Demoralization Passes
At any rate, the demoralization in
Democratic circles, which existed in
September, nnd after the Maine elec
tion, lins passed. For n time after tho
Maine election there was no effective
resistance to the Republican effort.
There was no organization. There wns
no money. There wns no agreement on
Issues.
Cox had floundered about from one
thing to another and hud made the mis
take of charging the ruising of an ex
cessive and improper campaign fund by
the Republicans, mid of fni'.ing to
prove it. The Democratic fortunes were
at tlie lowest ebb.
Today the tide iias turned to home
extent. The Democrats have stiffened
their lines. They are making n real
fight. They nre winning hack some of
their natural supporters. They are not
oxnetly confident, but they are hopeful.
Many lenders believe that they vlll
carry Indiana and Ohio. You may hear
men say-about hca'dquavtors, "If we
had only n few weeks mAre w could
certainly win." Things nre now .coming
our wny fast." a
Observers, on 'the sldc'JiuoX'cart see
no such dinngc in the political situa
tion as the Democratic managers In the
heat and thick of tlie fight fancy they
can see. The truth is that the "Repub
lican nttnek. betting started early be
cause of thorough organization nnil
Minnie resources, reached its clliiiiir I
pnrlv. Tlie nemnerntlc res)Ntuuei frnm
'aek of organization, lack of resouices,
inability to agree on issues has only just
reached Its climax.
No Sim of Eleienth-Hour Victory
The Republican strength was great
est immediately after tlie Muine elec
tion. The Democratic stiength is great
est now. Hut there is 110 sign Hint this
means an eleventh-hour victory for Cox.
If Wilson was elected in the last few
weeks of 1111(1, and MeKinley was
elected in the-last few weeks of IStll!. ns
some maintnin, neither Wil-on nor Me
Kinley overcame sucn nn advantage us
Harding hnd over Cox a mouth ngo.
The lend Harding hud was too great
to be overcome. The utmost that tlie
Democratic efforts of the last two or
three wicks cmild accomplish wus to
narrow tlie margin between Cox and
Hiirdiug, to whittle down somewhat the
great popular majorities which Harding
..nu HUnlv tn nhtnln ntnl tinrluifiu ...
save a few of the doubtful states 'for'0'
C)x.
And Hint Is probably what the Demo
cratic efforts of the last few week- have
accomplished. Republicans who arc in
formed will admit that their party wus
at high-water mark a month ago. It
wns so because the Democrats hud up
till then offered no effective resistance.
And it wns natural that when the
Democracy did begin to tight the cam
paign would cease to be one -sided.
Dcmcciuts May Hold Kentucky
Iu the lust month ihc Itepublicnn
chunces of carrjlii!; Kentucky and
Miirylnnd have been decidedly lessened.
Pour weeks ago Democratic managers in
Kentucky conceded privately that they
felt tho stnte was lost to Cox. Today
they are confident of holding it for
their national candidate. And the
dilutees seem, to favor them. The rnls.
ing of the race issue bus helped them
in Kentucky as well as iu nil the border
states, including perhaps Ohio und In
diana. Cardinal (Jibbous' declnrution
for tlie Lensue of Nations will help Cox

And the cardinal will hove some in

London, Oct. U5. Terence Sfae-
Swiney. lord mnyor of Cork, died at
Brixton prison, this city, at 5 : 10 o'clock
this morning. His death followed a
hunger ftrike of more than seventy
three days, eclipsing any in the annals
of the medical world. " M
The death of Muyor MacSwiney won
the first of on IrMi hunger striker to
occur in Knglnnd. Just n week ago;
on the occasion of the death of Michael
Fitzgerald, puc of the eleven hunger;
strikers in tho Cork Jail, the lord mnyos

of Ireland." 5-
It became evident several dnvs ago
(lint MacSwiney wur ncaring the end.
t'p to that time ho had steadfastly re
fined nourishment, although tempting
iIIMies were brought to Ills bedside dally
bj the authorities. Both the authorities
nnd the lord mayor's relatives emphat
ically stated they had not administered
food to the (i)risoncr, notwithstanding
rumors to the contrary.
At last, after the mayor, who had
reached the stage of extreme emaciation,
had become periodically delirious, tho
officials begun to give him liquid nour
ishment. This enme too Inte, however,
as the mnor bus been all but dead
for many dujs.

dcclinine this was in the interest of
tlie prisoner, who wus said to be too
wii.1. for excitement. Last evening
his brother, Sean (John), nnd Father
Dominic staved in the prison in view
of eventualities. Shortly before 0 V
n chick mis iiiuriuiiK iiicj were hum
uionrd to see tlie lord muvor, who had
taken a bad turn. They found him ly
ing motionless, with his ejes open, but
unconscious.
Father Dominic whispered n few
piu.vers, but the djing man did not
recognize him. The priest then recited
the prnjers for the dying, .while Sean,
the nurses, and the four dm tors, in
cluding the expert udviscr of the hoiua
office, stood by. '
Father Dominic nnd Senn then re
tired to allow tlie doctors to do what
they could for tlie lord mayor. One of ,
them injected strychnine! Father Dom
inic and Sean in the meantime were
repeating losnries in Gaelic, in another
pnrt of the ward. '
Tlie phsicians shortly notified tlrcra
thnt the lord mayor was beyond human
11111, nnil r inner imminic ngain snul the
prn en. for the iljlng. Just as he had
finished the
lord major breathed his
lust.

As soon as the news ot the Iqrd

the city small knots of peoplo began
moving toward Brixton prison. The
police, however, did not ullow any one
to move into the street leading to tin
prison entrance, keeping the people
