Did Net Pawn Pin
Apparent substantiation was given
their story that they were merely
witnesses of the murder when it
developed that a Wheeling pawn
broker, who had received Peirce's
diamond stickpin in pledge, failed te
identify either of the prisoners as
the person who had pawned it.
Thl pawnbroker is Mitchell L. Less

iwitively that Treailwny wns net the

'I didn't pay much attention," said
the pawnbroker, "except that I was

With that remark, addressed te a

Williams, also called "Heets." the
prettiest girl prisoner ever arrested in
West Virginia, began her return jour
ney te Philadelphia te tace uie chnrge
of complicity In the murder of Henry
T. Peirce.
"It's a joke, and I'm having a let
of fun regular lark--and the laugh
will be en the cops. Thanksgiving Day
is going te be turkeyless "for me unless
some geed Samaritan comes across en

According te the police, she slept
seundlv last night en a pine beard in
a six bv six-feet cell in the basement

shortly after 7 this morning.
"She is the most remarkable girl
prisoner we ever had in custody here,"
J.abl Chief of Police Frir.ier. "Her
nerve is simply asteunding: I have
spent thirty years of my life hunting
criminals, hut she eclipses anybody that

Only once since she was taken into cus

"I've told them all. T.oets, said
Treadway, her accused lever, "and you
had better de the same." The girl did
net answer Trcadwny. but bowed her
pretty curly head, nml broke out in
tears: then she turned buck te her cell.
As she was about te enter it she looked
nt Trcadwny again and said. "Peer fel
low, they get hi m wrong." Then she
beckoned te Detective llanley. "All
right: I'm ready te talk new, but I
wouldn't say a word if that peer fel
low hadn't told me te."
Seated in her little cell, her elbows
resting en her knees, she related a story
that made even llanley reach for his

"My mother died twelve years age,"
she said, "and two years after that 1
was left virtually alone In the world,

promptly at 2 o'clock.
Coaches and member of both tennis
paid a visit this morning te the field,
the niuddv condition of which was none
tee propitious for the open gnine both
teams are expected te play. Here mid
there the real soft shots were sprinkled
with snwdust and every effort was mndH
te lix n firm footing for the embattled
athletes.
Though the game Itself is n big
event in the foetbnll world, one of the
fentures of the fete is the holiday
throng. It's n distinct sncinl function

This city.'s reluctance te part with
any measure of home rule, Governer,
Sprenl usserted today, "is n very per
tinent objection" te the metropolitan
police plan ndvecnted by Ceiincllnmn.

Councilman Hall, whne ciiargei
against police administration here have
been challenged by Mayer Moere, sug

city with tin city administration strip
ped of nil power ever that arm of law
enforcement.
Governer Spreiil. who i spending
Thanksgiving Day at his home near
Chester, wn aked his views en the
metropolitan police plan.
Mr. Sproul recalled that a similar
plan had been allowed te die in the
last Legislature.
"I have net given the matter any
thought lntly." he continued. "It i a
matter that might work out. My mind
is eiitii'i'l open en the suggestion."
Seen as Heme Rule lllew
The Governer was told that strong
objection against the plan had been
voiced in this city en the ground that
it would lessen home rule.
"That i a very pertinent objec
tion." he replied. "It i n matter for
the Legislature and the disposition of
Philadelphia i te be considered."
The metropolitan plan, besides plne
ing the police in charge of n commis
sioner nppeintcd by the Governer,
would enable the system te be extended
te neighboring communities outside the
limits of this county.
Commenting u that phase of the plau

"The advent of the automobile." the'
I Governer continued, "has brought the

I part of public authorities because of
lhe facility with which lawbreaker can

"Itut in giving allowance for that

would want te part with anj mensura

In discussing the speakership situn

might sec Senater Penrose next week.
The meeting, hewincr. will depend en
i the senator's pliical condiiien, Mr.
Penrose i resting in preparation for a

speaker of Hie Heuse two year age.
DeM'lin in Opposition
The plan advocated by Councilman
Hall wa condemned tedav by Council
man James A. Develin. an Independent,
representing the West Philadelphia dis
trict. The Hull plan was picked te pieces
also In Colonel Shelden Petter, who
wn director of public safety under
Majer Weaver, nnd bj Geerge D. Por Per
ter, who was Mayer P.lankenburg's
public siifeti director.
The metropolitan police plan, Mr.
Develin stated tedni. "would be a blew
al the cilv and would weaken the local
government."
"The Idea docs net appeal te me at
all." In- continued. "The responsibility
for municipal government should rest
en the people of the citj alone. The
sooner the people realize thill thev must
accept the eetisctiucnres of Ihclr acts
the sooner will they insist en upholding
the right kind of public elliclnls."
Mr. Develin pointed out that the
police co-operate with ether depart
ments nf the citj government, in addi
tion te patrolling the streets and round
ing up law -breakers. Were control of
the police taken from the municipal
government, be said, the lii.i otnelatii
would be reduced te lhe statu, of peti
tioners cveri time thev' wanleil pollen

ments. Ne Gain. .Sajs Peller
"What is lhe idea of triing te lrn
fer police control from the citj te tin
MaleV" asked Colonel Petter
lie wa told the are councilman
thought il would remove the police
from political influences.
"We have had just us wrong and un
principled stale machines as we ever
had in tin1 city." was Colonel Petter's
comment. "Stale politic is no cleaner
than city politics, nud therefore there
is nothing te be gained in that direc
tion. "A city of 'J, 000,0(10 pcep ght in
have enough civic pride te lake cure of
il own nrtairs. I he passage of any law.
which tends te save the people from the
dutj nf taking care of their own affnirs
is net helpful. It is poisonous te the
body politic
Mr. Perter said, as a former director
of public safety, it was a matter of
personal pride with hlin te sec control
of the police remain with the, riiy gov
ernment. "Te i haiige the control would be a
confession nf weakness and a reflection
