The plan of sheriff Rebert E. Lam Lam

Subject for Conference
The housing question, acute in many
sections of the country, will be one of
the problems discussed here December
At 2 and 3, when about forty governors
nd governera-clect will meet for nn
annual session of the "Heuse of Gov
ernors." Governer Sproul will push te the
limit his plans for thi Improvement of
the school system. He Intends te make
tela the dominant administration meas
ure. He wants legislation und money
"which will perfect the ontnnlsatien al
ready created under Superintendent
Fincgan, of the Department of Edu
cation. The Governer says the state
new has one of the greatest school
leaderships In the country and has ad
vanced far beyond the backward place
it recently held.
"We want," said the Governer, "te
bring the schools closer te the people.
Anything we de along this line will be.
Other things net considered, the llnest
kind of Investment for the people."
As an Indication of the high char
acter of leadership new held by Penn
sylvania's educational work, the Gov Gov
ereor pointed te the acquisition of Dr.
Hellls Dann, of Cernell, te supervise
the teaching of music.
"Music," said the Governer, "docs

This Is a Safe Time
The commission en revision of the
constitution is te meet in Ilarrisburg
December 14 te draft its recommenda
tions te the Legislature. The Gover Gover
eor recommends that the commission
favor n constitutional convention. He
disagrees with Senater Penrose, who
argued that this was net the time te
xewrite the constitution. The Gover Gover
eor feels that the state nnd nation ure
m thoroughly in the control of sane
and sober Republicans thut there could
ba no better time than the prenent for

publican control, he argues, insures a
steady haud ever the deliberations nnd

Krhen Penrose opposed woman suffrage

feels that the inevitable should be dealt

The Governer Is aware of the fact
that the recent census entitles Phila

power of nppeintment of empleyes, the

On his way te Harrisburg the Gover Gover
eor and his secretary, Harry R. Me
Devltt, dispatched a great mass of of
ficial business in tli drawing-room. A

the correspondence en the train.
Te Annul Soldier Vete
There is much interest in the vote
cast by the army, which has net, yet
been returned, and which It has been
thought might affect the Venizellst
cause faverubly. The opposition's press
bureau, however, Is quoted today as
declaring that the voting at the front
would be annulled.
Reasons for his defeat are said by
former Premier Venizelos te be the
weariness f the people with politics,
their desire for a rest nnd for the return
of soldiers from the front, and emphasis
placed by opponents en the charge that
lie was putting Greece Inte the hands
of foreign nations. M. Venizelos de
clares this charge aroused fears of pro
tracted wars In connection with his
Greater Greece policy and he says pop
ular Jealousy played n part In his re
verse at the polls last Sunday.
Premier Calm in Defeat
Te these, he declurcd, may be added
various grievances against the Internal
administration, and the fcellni? that he
himself was the victim of his own ideas
of aggrandizement. M. Venizelos, when
seen tonight, was taking his defeat cour
ageously and calmly. Speaking of him
self he said :
"I nm tired and want ft rest. New
I will huve time te enjoy reading politi
cal history."
There are rumors that it Is possible
the Greek army, which Is supposed te
be loyal te former Premier Venizelos,
may creatp the Republic 'of Smyrna,
in Asia Miner.
The present regency of Admiral
Coundeuriotis has been recognized by
the opposition. It la probable the cabi
net selected by the leaders of the demi
nant party In Greece will held office
temporarily until a plebiscite Is held at
which the people will vote upon the
return of former King Constantine. It
Is also believed the opposition will make
efforts te determine the views of the
outside world relative te the results of
the election.
There was n panic en the Bourse
when It became certain that the Venl
zelist government had been defeated,

ON EXCESS PROFITS
Laber Leader Declares Prices
Can Come Down Without
Affecting Wages
CONSUMERS IN CONVENTION
"Prices can be reduced without a
reduction of wages by mere efficient
methods in operating, particularly In
eliminating waste aud unnecessary du
plication." Jehn H. Walker, of Springfield. 111.,
president of the Illinois State Federa
tion of Tnber, expressed that opinion
In the course of nn nddrcss tednv at the
luncheon in connection with the nnnuel
convention of the National Consumers'
League, being held at the Rellcvuc Rellcvuc
Stratferd. "Te reduce prices without reducing
wages, there must also be n minimizing
of extortion nreces," Mr. Walker con
tinued. "Whv If Captain Kldd were
te come te America tednv he would np
ply for police protection against our
modern business men.
"Seme prices are going down, but
ethers are going up.
"I come from the nnthmcite region
of Illinois, and have done a great deal
of work among the miners. Bituminous
coal mined und leaded in the car costs
2.15 a ten at the mines and $1) a ten
In New Yerk.'
"Anthracite costs .$.'5. 15 u ten at the
mines, leaded en the car, and costs the
consumer In Philadelphia from Rir te
1.
"It nil rlenends en what veu consider
n wage earner whether wages will be
lowered ev n reiuciieu i jiritti. -u
Instance, if the gentlemen who get $15
for anthracite arc wage earners, then
'ou can't reduce prices without reduc
ing wages. ,
"Somebody comes in ter tee large
a share of thatf J$15 after the coal leaves
the mine. That margin should be cut
te reduce the retail price of coal.
Hits Heur Situation

Walker said that In making flour under

and the Mayer will talk ever Philadel
phia legislation, which the Governer
feels in n matter for the Plillnrfelnliln
delegation te the Legislature and for
the Mayer, whom he rcgurds ns his
geed friend. Incidentally there linvc
been rumors that the Mayer and Mr.
Grundy nre net as close ns they have
been. The Governer's statement that
he regards the Mayer as his very geed
friend seems te lend some color te these
rumors.
There wns much Hnemtnrlnn Imlar nn
the situation which would be created if
ncnaier rniinndcr u. Knox should by
any chance become a member of the
Hunting cabinet.
Since the Inst Legislature it has been
generally conceded that, with the ex
piration of his present term, Senater
Knox would retire from the Senate.
As the place belongs te the West, Sen Sen
aeor Crew has becu looked upon ns the
logical man te succeed Knox.
Then came the Crew-Orundy feud
and there was some speculation ng te
whether Crew would be picked by state
lenders In the face of opposition from
the powerful Grundy faction, which has
behind it home of the most powerful
manufacturing interests in the state.

Mr. lleuar Law, leader of the Heuse,
suld It would be premature te gtate what

Sir Frederick Hall demanded whether

prisoners up the steps and Inte the side

wnrrants for Schuck and James, issued
bv Judge Jehn C. Kates, of Camden
Common Pleas Court, who received the
grand jury's Indictments.
After brief formalities the prisoners
were turned ever te the Camden of

Deran and Captain William Scbrcgler,

was Schuck, handcuffed te Prosecutor
Straw and City Detective Jehn Painter.
Try te Avoid Crowds
Ordinarily the run from Mount Helly
te Camden can be made In considerably
less than an hour. The authorities were
nnxleus te keep the transfer of James
nnd 8chuck n secret, however, and
purposely took them te Camden by a
roundabout route, twice the erdluary
distance.
The two machines were driven te
Camden by way of Medford, Marlton,
Ellisberg nnd Ferest Hill Park. By a
strange coincidence the route traversed
by the men today en their way te prison
and trial for their lives, was almost the
identical route which James nnd
Schuck followed when they drove with
the body of Paul en their way te the
place where they hid It In the pines nt
Tabernacle.
Whatever the thoughts of the two
men as they bumped ever the rough
back reads which the tragedy had made
familiar te them, they said very little
te their guards. James once asked De

te begin, and wns told the date had
net been fixed. Their talk was mono
