ATTACK ON POUGE
HALL PLANSCORED
Calls Ceuncllmanlc" Opponents
"Babies and Bluffers" for
Refusing Proof 8
STATE-CONTROLLED FORCE
CALLED WORST IN WORLD
Mayer Moere dubbed Councilman
Chnrles Hall n "bluffer" and a "big
baby" today nnd ridiculed the Seventh
ward Yarn lender nnd Cnnnellmnn
Onfney r.t posing as spokesmen of "n
new group et moral upwters.
The Mayer swung the lash of his
sarcasm because of Hall's bitter attacks
yesterday en the Police Department and
because of the Vare councilman's ob
structive tactics .towards fast, bandlt
chaslng motorcars for the police.
Councilman Hall has revived the
plnn of n metropolitan police force for
this city, controlled by a commissioner
appointed bynhe Governer.
A simllnr measure, proposed when
the Vare-controlled Smith administra
tion was In power, wes fought desper
ately by Vare leaders in the last Legis
lature. The metropolitan scheme new adopted
by Hall in his guerrilla warfare agatnnt
the administration wag condemned by
Frederick P. Qruenberg, director of the
bureau of raunleJpal,TCscarch. The
criticism was based net en factional
grounds, but because the plan would
be n blew nt local home rule nnd
because similar schemes have failed in
ether cities.
Mayer Answers Attack
Mr. Moere's statement follews:
"The Mayer Is net anrrv but amuRcd.
if net disgusted, nt the ease with which
tne men who are largely responsible
for the ills of which the people com
plained prier te the mayoralty elec
tion, seem new te get an audience prov
ing themselves as purists and reformers.
"ii tne people can stand this sort or
thing the Mayer certainly can stand
it, although it will net swerve him In
the fight against conditions which have
brought reproach upon the city.
Hall and UnlTney seem te be the
spokesmen of this new group of mernl
upllfiVrs. judging from their recent un
provoked, gratuitous utterances In
Council.
"They are net te be taken seriously,
but as iumnliiK from pest td plllnr te
find something en which te ledge their
claim for uic restoration nt the old- sys
tem. "They nre a pair of big babies.

Yk-e In Hall's District
"'They arc a joke except for the
serious consequences likely te result
from their obstructive tactics. One of
the worst nest holes In Philadelphia
is at Tenth and Lembard streets, in
the Seventh ward, where Councilman
Hall is the lender, and where, due
largely te his Influence nnd protection,
eltv nrnnertv has been used for nrefit-
able but Illegal practices. Including
banditry, dope, prostitution, gambling
and a series of ether crimes, tee numer

"With the profits taken away from
his followers, Is It any wonder thnt
Hall rolls at cffeH the police arc mak

"Mr. Hall is net only a baby, but n
bluffer, eh evidenced by his tactics in
Council yesterday when he was cnlled

te have regarding n police llcutennnt

king.'
"Te the Mayer. It seems that Oils

when the chnlleuge te produce the evi

this contractor-controlled leader failed
te make geed.
"New, he proposes te held his stew,
te spread It ever the commonwealth."
"He Is officially challenged ,te pro

cuses In order that the responsibility
may be fixed. '
Mr. Hall Is Hurt
"A fine, dignified stntement for the
Mayer of Philadelphia te give out."
said Councilman Hall this afternoon.
"Despite his squawking, I will continue
te gather evidence about the rottenness
existing in the police force,"
Referring te hit ndvecney of motor
cycles Instead of uuteinnbilcj for the
police in order te run down bandits,
Hall said he would leave the matter "te
the Intelligence ej the voters."
The Seventh wnrd councilman said
he proposed the list of motorcycles

of public safety. The cycles, he said,
should be protected with a metal shield
nnd equipped with machine guns.

The councilman said he knew that en
November 20 there were 270 policemen
In City Hall, Including district men

What Hall "Told" Moere
"I had a talk with Mr. Moere just
after ha wen the nomination for

then that the police had wrecked every
administration except Mtuarfs.
"I told him te get a man as public
safety director who could net he In

would be n100 per cent Moere mnn.
Mr. Moere, nt that time, told me It was
the best advice he had received."

Councilman Hall sold, "haH been fn my

By CLINTON W. GILBERT

CopvrieM, me, bv JubUe Ltierr Ce.
Washington, Nev. at. The purpeM
of the first conference at Marlen is t
unite the Republican party upon a pro
gram with respect te the treaty. Th
Democrats Invited nre the Democrat
who co-epernted with the Republican
last winter and whose views with ra ra
gerd te the treaty are in general agree
ment with these of the Republicans.
Iu this correspondence It was ex-1
plained a few days rfge that thera
would be three stages te the develop
ment of a league pelicy: first, confer
ences with Republicans peeking party
agreement en a program; second, con
ferences with the Democrats of tha
Senate, looking te a two-thirds major
ity upon the policy adopted, and third,
the approach te the foreign powers with
that policy.
The first list et names given out by
Harry M. Daugherty here are the names
nf the Republican leaders whom Mr.
Harding will try te unite upon some
line of action. .The presence of the
three Democratic senators in the list
of invited does alter the fact. Next,
these meetings aim te get the Repub
licans who are as far apart as Johniem
and Taft te agree upon, some course
te be followed.
Te Faver Prompt Peace
Out of these first conferences nethlsg
mere Is' likely te come than acretmaitt
.upon malting peace promptly by paeataf
the. Knox -resolution.. 4r, something. almir
liar. All Republicans will probably
agree te that policy. Mr. Harding, la
pledged te it. The business and agri
cultural Interests of the country demand
It and they wish pence promptly. Tha
pre-treaty Republicans can accept It,
Reet's Views Modified
Mr. Reet inclines toward the view
that the only prncticul way is te use
the present league nnd modify It. It Is
said that hla attitude Is net se strongly
pre-league as It weh when he wrote
the cablegram from abroad udvlslng the
Republicans In August net te abandon
tbe league. He is net far from Hard
lung in his point of view, except that he
arrives at the association of nations by
working from the present league rather
than from the Hugue tribunal.
Mr. Harding will have his choice be
tween two results. He may unite bis
party und get through no constructive
foreign program. Or he may divide birt
party and co-operate with the Deme-i
