"It seems to me that the quantities

"The fad that il was felt in West

Judge Thompson Suggests
Structure May Be Used Later
for U. S. Courts
COULD GET FEDERAL AID
The erection of a federal building on
the Parkwny, to be used ns the govern
ment's stuieture during the proposed
world's fair in 1U1M and theieufter to
house the Cnited States louits heie.
has been suggested bv Jiulg.. J Whit
nker Thompson,
Judge Thompson suggestion was
made to Andrew Wiiglit Cinwford,
trustee of the 1'nii mount 1'uik Ait
Association, who disclosed it today at
a meeting of the members' council of
the Chamber of Coinineice, held in the
Itit.-Cnrltoii.
The proposed building, Judge Thump
son stated in a letter to Mr. Crawl'oid,
would relieve the piesent congestion in
the Postoftlce Ituildiug at Ninth and
Market stieet, would serve as
America's exhibition building nt the
fair and later, as a temple of justice,
would provide accommodations foi the
rapidly growing business of the fedeiai
courts.
Judge Thompson's letter iu pint fol
lows :
"Those in chnige will no doubt applv
to Congress for an appropriation, and
will ask the federal government to take a
prominent part in this exposition as
lias been done with those in the past.
The buildings erected nt government
expense, after serving the immediate
needs of the exposition, have, in most
instances, been tnken down, mid noth
ing left of peimiinent advantage either
to the city wheie the exposition has
been held, or to the government. What
I want to suggest is a plan wherebv tin
money appropriated, or as much of it
us possible, ino.v be of permanent ad
vantage to botli the city and the United
States.
"It Is known that the supervising ar
chitect of the Treasury Depctut incut has
had under consldeiuticm for some jenrs
the question of piovidiug adequate and
proper accommodations for the Cnited
Stntes couits, either through additions
to the present Postotllce lluildlng nt
Ninth and Chestnut streets, or thiough
the erection of a new building at some
convenient and proper location. The
time seems to have anlved when tlieie
is a public nceessiu for making such
provision. The business of the Cnited
Stntes courts lias been coustautl.v in
creasing, und the piospects ine that it
will continue to increase to gi eater
volume. The increase in business re
quires larger staffs for the office's of the
clerk, the niutshiil mid the Culled States
attorney. All of these othcials aie
crumped for spnee for their working
force and for uiopcr tiling space for
their iccords. The district i ourt lias
not at its disposal a stifhoicnt number
of rooms for the grnml juij and the
petit juries, nor for the uecominodation

FEDERATION ASKED TO SEE
THAT LAWS ARE ENFORCED,
Women of Philadelphia nnd Mont
gomery counties were called upon today
to organize to end banditry and lawless
ness. The call mine nt the annunl mid
winter meeting of the Montgomery
County reiteration of Women's Clubs
nt Ardniore. Spenkeis denounced effoits
of politicians to confine the work of
women to laws pertaining to themselves
and rhildien. The clubwomen were
utged to "do mmo than right." get into
the politic-ill ginne and insist Hint pies
ent laws are enforied rather than cam
paign for new laws.
The meeting wns going nlong pence
fully in the clubhouse with Mrs. U. j.
Holston in the chair, Mis. II. D.
S'cMvnrU, chairman of the Montgomery
county committee of the League of
Women Voters, took the floor nnd ex
plained the battle he- organization is
making for legislation. Mrs. A. M.
Snyder, former president of the federa
tion, finally sprang to her feet and suid :
"This sounds all right, but you have
to do more than mnke new luvvs for
women and children. You nil know the
conditions of banditry, beggarv and law
lessness in Philadelphia. Th'ere is n
terrible Indifference in men and women
regnrding the enforcement of the laws.
Philadelphia is u lawless cit.v . Itnndltry
prevails nnd liquor may be had almost
everywhere Go into any of the railroad
stations nnd men and women will offer
to sell jou liquor. We are getting to
work on an oiganization to enforce
laws."
Mrs. Schvviiif. leplied that her asso
ciation was inteii'stcd in home uile, and
home rule meant "enfoicenient of laws."
Then Mrs. Ilolston. the chuirman,
said: "It is only natural tliut even
fair-minded woman wnnts to do right."
"Right?" said Mis. Snyder. "Yon
have to do moie thnn right get nut and
fight, gel into polities mid stop letting
the politicians sidetrack the women in
only handling laws for women and
children. Tlieie is only one solution and
that is' to oignuuc mid light."
Mrs. Kate II. Hrusstiir, piolmtion
