The plan of sheriff Rebert E. Lam Lam

He believes It likely te preduce mere

commonwealth sanctioned a higher in

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
s convention. This overwhelming lie
publican control, he argues, insures a
steady haud ever the deliberations nnd
Sndlngs of the convention.

Ljceuntry would be in mere radical and
unstable hands. The situation is as
Krhen Penrose opposed woman suffrage
and Sproul favored it. The Governer
feels that the inevitable should be dealt
with promptly.
The Governer Is aware of the fact
that the recent census entitles Phila

He will net make the additional ap

for the proposed move te curtail the
power of President Judge Ilrewn by
repealing the low giving him auxelutp
power of nppeintment of empleyes, the
Governer feels that in a matter for the
Philadelphia delegation te decide. It
may be said the Governer fi'ijs the
Philadelphia delegation will stand by
Judge Urewn, unless Maer Moere is

M. Hhallls, who is eighty years old,
will, besides the premiership, assume
the portfolio of foreign affairs.
M. IllinlllH previously had informed
Admiral Coundeurlotis, the regent, that
he would accept the task of forming a
cabinet, but only after the resignation
of the old government had been defi
nitely announced.
On December 11 the Governer will hr-

Society of New Yerk. Cherien M ' tien of the defeat of Premier V

te make the event in New Yerk a great
success.
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
stenographer had becn brought down te
Philadelphia from Harrisburg te handle
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,
the I'nited States dollar deub'ing in
value. The city is quiet, and the Par
liament Heuse is occupied by troops.

Constantinople, Ne. 17. (Uj A.
P. ) The defeat of Premier Venizelos,
of Greece, creeted profound consterna
tion here, resulting in street riots. The
disturbances, however, were easily
quelled.
Georgen Ueuwmis, reeeutly appointed
Greek diplomatic representative nt
Constantinople, and the personnel of the
I Greek legation handed in their resig
nations as a pretest against the action
of the Greek people in defeating Veni
zelos. The depression of the Greeks and
Armenians is indescribable.

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
Tit-n.iMaln the flour situation. Mr.
Walker said that In making flour under
night at the mansion. The Governer
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
notion the British Government would
take In the event of the United States
refusing te ratify the treaty.
Sir Frederick Hall demanded whether
Great Britain's position would depend
en the decision of the United States,
or whether Great Britain wns going te

United States.

lay, jammed the sidewalk In front of
the courthouse nt Broadway and Fed
eral street when the prisoners were
taken from two limousines, handcuffed
te officials. A drizzling rain was fall
ing nnd James nnd Bchuck, who were
without overcoats, shivered In the cold
ns they c'utched their coats with free
hands. The detectives had te elbow
their way through the crowd te' get the
prisoners up the steps and Inte the side
entrance of the courthouse.
R'de In Automobiles
The limousines which were te take

en indictments found yestcrdav by the
sueclal grand Jury, nrrlved nt the Bur

tective, nnd Assistant County Prose
cutor Straw, of Camden, hnd bench
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
ficials. James, handcuffed te Detective
Deran and Captain William Scbrcgler,
chief of the Camden city detectives, took
a seat In the first car. In the second
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
tective Deran when the trial was likely
te begin, and wns told the date had
net been fixed. Their talk was mono
