Jhhnrr. Feb. lG.-The Phlladcl-

htolary local last night.
1 "For the purpose of public hear

sjralra for his action.
Th bill was on third rending and
voaM have to come to vote on final pas
,e lit night, had not its author de
$1 to save Its face by having it rc
tarsed to the committee. ,..,,.
Mr Bowers has thus afforded the
mDle of Philadelphia an opportunity
STrexlater their approval or disap

It Is now up to various organixatlons
' ilit believe in law and order, the sup
preislon of vice and immorality, the
ttfmhutlon of gambling places nnd tho
tarled processes by which the deni
zens of the underworld maintain their
nip on politics,- to express their dln
ipproTtt of the bill by wiping It off
tie legislative slate.

If. by any hook or crook, th mous

derstand that a wholesale expose of the
methods by which the underworld
thrives will be explained on the floor

play of names and facts.

A lot of gentlemen, by voting, for the
resolution, unquestionably have tied
themselves ip in a bow knot with black

Aaron 11. Hc.-b, chairman of tho rules

the resolution sent to that committee,
hat the House, after bcrapplng around

After April 7 it will be impossible to
resent a revenue or other bill in the
House without unanimous consent.
There were some gentlemen who glee

after the crime,
When the llurlington county tletec- '
fives were at fault in their investiga- '

who might huso a knowledge of the

A day after the appeal was issued he
received n telephone call from 11 woman
in Philadelphia, who insisted on re
maining anonymous, but who gave him
some valuable information and prom
ised to give him more from time to
