FONDER-SALESMEN'S ALIBI Not Home Enough to Make Wives Tire of Them and Seek Divorce, Is Reply to Charge of Sociologist The traveling salesman as a dutiful buslinnd wns defended todnv bv mem bers of the Salesmanship Club of Plilla dclnlila. Prof. Itudolpli M. Hinder, head of the Department of Sociology nt New York I'nlverslty. hail said; "One out of every nine traveling salesmen is divorced n's ngalnst one out of ninety-two farmers." C. M. Wessels, president of the SnlcH mnnship Cbili of Philadelphia answers: "Don't believe those MatNtles for n minute. Ought to be the other wny nround. Do you know wh ?

They nre experts. For that reason they are a permanency. This still further reduces the minimum of jobs for city place hunters. Uneasiness and Perturbation There are uneasiness and perturba tion among the lenders of the new com bination, due to uncertainty as tn what the Mayor will do next. They counted confidently that he would, rather than precipitate 1111 open outbrenk, permit the Municipal Court appropriation to go through. 1 my hk 11 red that he would content himself with nn expression of condemnation nnd let It go nt thnt. The Mayor kept the purpose nml ex tent of his veto secret until the Inst moment. While his notion wns not n stunning surprise, the nmount of his slnshing cut wns astonishing to the eombinntion. The public renctlnn against the five alleged reform councllmen is greater tlinti their friends nre willing to admit. No onc of them has offered an adequate reason for the betrayal of his trust by voting against the Mayor's veto of the S.'tL'S.OOO In the Municipal Court budget. Particularly has the condemnation ot their xote by the women been wide spread and seven. It Ir beginning to bite nnd senr. The woman voter presents n new problem to these misbrnnded politicians. They don't know what she'll do next. They would like to ignore her but can not. They don't understand her atti tude. The visit of a delegation of prominent women lenders to the Ma.ior's office the day after the burlesque budget per formnme in Council to offer him their suport wns 11 surprise to most of tlie Hrown cnbnl. It wns 11 storm signal. The hope of the five runaway re formers is that the people will soon forget: particularly tin women. The Major, however, will see that they "" not. It will be many a long anil dreary month before Cmincllmen Iturcli and (ians in particular .succeed in escaping the lash. Ilurch would he swept off the politi cal board by women alone, if he came up for re-election within the next few weeks. Sentimental Side to Women There is 11 sentimental side tn most women that ndmiies n lighter. The greater the odds against him the greater their admiration for the fighter. The six independent councilinen who stood like a solid wall to sustain the Mnyor and check the shameless extrnva- K"i 'f tin Municipal Court, stand higher today than ever in public esti mation. The question of .Judge Ilrown's power of miindniiius is to he tested. It is the contention of some very prominent at torneys, who have discussed the sub jei't. thnt the new charter if not ac tually prohibiting it, nt least leaves the mandiiinus question open to serious doubt. The cit charter expressly provides that : No warrant shall be drawn, issued, or uppiovcd by any officer of said city for any expenditure by such de partment, officer, hoard, committee, 01 other agency, unless an appropria tion lias previously I,,,,.,, ,,,. itl accordance with the provisions f this act: nnd no warrant shall be drawn against; any item in said appropria tion in excess of snid item ; and nny contract mnde or warrant issued iii violation of this article shall be nbso lutely void. Any appropriation In violation of tills article or in excess of the esti mated receipts ns set forth in said ordinance nml nny contract based thereon shall lie void. The Municipal Court is u city court. It is n minor court. It is asserted thnt this law applies to the innmlnmiis power of Judge Ittovvn. An how. suit will be enteied to test his power in this respect. If the suit is successful it will stop one leak in the city treasiirv. Ittimor Iflocl.

"It is particularly Immoral for n court to construe its duties Into n philanthropy and then build on such n basis a political machine, plundering the taxpayers to reward Its heelers. "The city Is notorious for the succen slon of such machines from which it lias suffered, nil being the result of its po litical supineness.

"It hns suffered nt lenst thirty yenr from the polltlcnl contractor combine ami now. before thnt lufs been demol ished, nn entirely new kind of ma chine has been constructed, actually by 11 court, which openly stuffs itself with pntronnge, nnd shnmciessiy buys coun cilinen with jobs.
