"Nothing to Retract," Admiral
Declares Before Sailing

MANY FLORAL TRIBUTES
By tlw Associated Press
London. Juno 1C. Rear Admiral
William a. Sims left Waterloo Station
this morning for Southampton, where
ho was' to board the steamer Olympic
later In tho day and proceed H to Ncv
York. lie rodo In n special car that
was so burdened with floral testimonials
that thcro was scarcely room for mem
bers of his party to move about.
Leaning out n window of tho enr the
Admiral waved his cap to a largo group
who, dcsplto the enrlincss of his de
parture, had gathered to give him n
rousing send-off. Admiral Sims spent
half an hour before his train left ln
handshaking and exchanging greetings
with friends on the station platform.
As tho train slowly moved out men
raised their hnts and women wnved
their handkerchiefs, and all joined In
three cheers, which wero given so lust
ily thnt a cab honto at tho station plat
form curbing shied nnd nearly ran
away.
"Nothing to Iterract"
In tho throng at tho station wero
newspapermen nnd photographers, with
whom Admiral Sims Is most popular
because of his unassuming ways and
his rendlness to oblige with interviews.
The Admiral walked to tho end of the
platform, whoro a bright shaft of sun
light was to be found, nnd thorn be faced
the newspapermen's cameras for a full
minute. Answering reporters' requests
for n farewell message, Admiral Sims
called attention to dispatches In this
morning's newspapers telling of a re
action in the United States against his
critics. He declared he had nothing
further to nay, "and nothing to re
tract." Ho said ho had received hun
dreds of letters approving ot his atti
tude regarding "American hyphenates."
Asked whether ho had received nny
threatening missives, the Admiral smiled
unu said :
"I had ono nigned 'Erin-Go-Bragh,' I
making a play on reference to zebras in
my address Inst week, nnd tolling mo T
would meet the oases on the other side,
but I hnve paid no attention to it it

Not Worried by Letter
Ha added that ho thought tho hnnd
writing was that of a boy, and declared
tho letter bore u London nostmnrk. He
did not turn It over to Scotlnnd Yard

VICTIM REFUSES TO GIVE
HIS ADDRESS AS HE DIES
Bobert Vogt, who died as he was
refusing to glvo his nddress, was shot
and killed by Frank Johnson, thirty
fivo years old, 1708 North Park nvenuc,
last night, following nn alleged attack
on the letter's foster mother, tho police
say. Tho nttack grew out of an argu
ment folding tho pasting of stickers
on Johnson's home placarding him as
a strike-breaker.
Columbia -nvcnuo from Fifteenth
street to Tenth street Is posted with
placards on trees, trolley poles, tele
graph poles nnd tho walls of house.
These bulletins are all printed with
I teare-hend statements regarding atrikc-
breaking pipe- insulators. Police of the
l.lghth nnd Jefferson streets nollce sta
tion who havo been working since last
night In an effort to identify Vogt, say
tnat tiicro is no doubt thnt an organized
reign of terror Is on ln the neighbor
hood of Johnson's homo.
Johnson is employed in the plant of
tho American Insulation Co., Roberts
and Stoklcy streets, and Vogt is sup
posed to bo a man on strike from the
same firm. Mrs. Mary Senscmnn, who
adopted Johnson ns her son, said to
day that the fight took place after tho
front of her house had been repeatedly
covered with posters denouncing John
son. The wording of the stickers, she
says, was:
"A- .scab is the meanest thing on
earth."
These words wero printed while
Johnsons name was written ln ink
above tho typed matter. .
Had Stayed Homo From Work
Mrs. Scnscmnn's story Is to tho ef
fect that she stayed at homo with her
sick husband, while her ndopted son.
his wifo nnd their eleven-year-old
daughter, Doris, went to visit somo
friends in tho neighborhood. Mrs. Sen
scmnn said that Johnson had taken the
day off due to the fact that ho had been
warned by a fellow workman tho day
before that' it would be much better
not to go to work.
Shortly after thu Johnson family had
left tho house an lnsuranco collector
called on Mrs. Senscman and, after
flnl3hing.ibls.-busisn&nskcd her why
Vih0'dld"rfot;rcmovo the signs frdm the
front of he house. Thnt was the
first she had heard of them. Mrs. Sense
man says that she got some hot water
and washed tho stickers off. Sho found
thrco of them, all worded the same.
An hour Inter- -she found two more,
and nn hour after that two more. Just
as shj hod completed removing the lnrt
placards and had returned to tho house
the doorbell rang.
Sho says that when she answered it
sho found a man standing on the door
steps with n atickor similar to tho ones
thnt had been on tho front of her
house in his hand.

he asked.

Has Mayor 4 Aces

in Harmony Deal?
l8(Mr. Moore a political has

Sillt of the Republican City

Evening Public Ledger's staff
writer,,
George Nox McCain
or lw.8 he a fine chance to capi
talize the political hatreds tlvat
smoulder and smoke, and throw
the fear of high heaven into the
combine? Colonel McCain asks
these questions, and then pro
ceeds to set forth the ansxuers.
THU harmonious organization of the
Republican City Committee with
out n single piping noto of protest has
been taken as an evidence that all fac
tional differences have been rjeked to
sleep nnd that everybody who is any
body is safely ln the fold, with the
exception of Mayor Moprc.
To thoso on the Inside, presumably,
and looking over the bnstion walls, it
would appoar that Mayor Moore is out
side the ramparts, face downward in
tho moist terrain.
The human Interest of the political
situation centers In J. Hampton Moore.
Is ho o'r is he not politically down
nnd out, nnd if so, why and how come?
Also, what are the present status and
future hopes of the combine of Cun
ninghnm, Brown, Vuro nnd company,
Ulty tjommittcn managers.'
What have they gained? Are they In
a strategic position to enpturo and carry
the fall election ticket?
The Individual who emerges tri
umphant out of all the fussing, tur
moll, vagrant rumor and actual fact of
tho City Committee harmony reorgani
zation, Is Senator Penrose.
Tho individuals who He under the
debris of unfulfilled hopes, disappointed
ambition and failure, nre the Messrs.
Varo.
This fact is clearly npparent to the
most casual looker on In politics.
Two years ngo the Vares swore the
vendetta on Penrose. Tney put the
gipsy eurso on him. The drngged his
name through tho alleys and down the
back streets to the ash dump, over
which tncy uung mm with shouts of
victory and derision.
Tho namo Penrose was nnnthpmn
mnranatha in every Varo stronghold In
Philadelphia. The ermine of the sena
torial robo was begrimed with a loud
of coarse epithets, expressive of the
contempt In which its owner was held
by them and their followers.
Look on the situation as presented
todny !
Tho Vares havo recanted. They have
Kissed the rod thnt smote them in the
majoralty election. They have taken
their plnces as ward leaders nmong ward
leaders. By this action they have pro
claimed tlieir abdication as city bosses.
Until the reorganization of the City
Committee It was a Vnrc-owned bodv.
That fact was of Httlo advantage to its
members. They needed the help of the
Cunningham-Brown end of the com
bine, otherwise they could hop for no
patronage from Washington. There
were no offices of nny account unfilled in
tho city government for their idle place
men.
Clerk of Courts Cunnlnghnm was tho
Penrose representative, excepting Harry
Trainer, whoso loyalty to Penrose can
not be overlooked. If the Vares per
sisted In their determination to continue
opposition to ' Penrose, Cunningham
could offer no consolation In the way of
patronage. They might nominate an
entire city ticki't for the fall, but to nut
it over they would require outsldo help.
Senator Penrose, it is known bv thop
In bis confidence, bus declared that no
more shall tho Vares be intrusted with
city leadership. They must bo rele-
gated to tho position of ward lenders.

DIFFICULT TO RUSH
House Enmeshed in Disputes
Over Tariff Schedules and
Tax Reform Must Wait
WHITE HOUSE ANXIOUS
FOR NEEDED LEGISLATION
U CLINTON W. GILBERT
SlnfT Correaponilent Ktmln I'nbllo Itlurr
Covurlohl, 1121, lu rublic Ltdotr Co,
Washington, June 15. At the White
House It is expected that President
Harding will soon begin to put prcsMiro
upon Congress for tariff and taxation
legislation. His impatience with the de
lay at the Capitol Is frankly admitted.
From members of the Republican Na
tional Committee, who wero her1 re
cently, Mr. Harding learned that the
country was beginning to bo rostlcsn and
critical over the delay of Congress. And
tho outbreak of Democratic criticif.ni,
continued yesterday by Senator Harri
son, Governor Cox's lender In the up
per House, tends to confirm the Im
pression growing here that the Admin
istration is reaching a critical point in
its fortunes.
Tlio President bos reason to feed irri

branch. The date for the calling of the
special session, April 11 was set by the

whether the bill will reach the floor of

Why DID We Fight?
HUGHES -"Because wo hated
tyranny nnd the brutality and ruth
lcssncss which found expression In
tho worship of force, and becauso wo
found our fate linked with thnt of the
tho free peoples who were struggling
for the preservation of the esscntinls
of freedom."
HARVEY -"Not a fow remain
convinced thnt we sent our young
soldiers across the sea to save this
kingdom (Great Britain) and France
nnd Italy. This is not the fact. We
sent them solely to save tho United
State of America, nnd most reluc
tantly and laggnrdly."
HARDING "They have seen our
protecting arm stretched over the
outposts of liberty on every conti
nent For more than n century our
plighted word warned tyranny from
half the world; then, when the
gauge was taken up by mad nmbl
tion. men felt the blow thnt arm
could strike when freedom nnswered
In its utmost might. Across tho
seas we sent our hosts of liberty's
30ns 'to redress the oternnl scales.' "
By tiie Associated Prms
Providence, R. I., Junn 15. Secre
tary of State Hughes told n gathering
of his fellow alumni of Brown Uni
versity todny that it was not desirable
that America's helpful Influence should
lie frittered away "by relating ourselves'
unnecessarily to political questions'
which involve rivalries of interest
nbroad with which we have no proper
concern."
"It is equally true," he continued,
that we cannot escapo our relation
to the economic problems of the world."
He &uld the prosperity of this countrv
largely depended upon the economic
settlements which might be made in
Lurope and that tho kej to tho future
was with those who make and control
these settlements.
America, the exemplar of free insti
tutions, nldlug humanity in their prea

"This sentiment is still with us," he
added.

ttc have not lost," said he, "the
capacity for the high nnd unselfish en
deavor which linked us ln nn unex
ampled unity and joy of service in the
i risls of the great war. The springs of
faith, of mutual trust, of fellowship,
liavu not dried up.
"Our men did not go forth to fight
for this nation as one of iniperinllstlc
designs nnd cunning purpose, or to
protect n land where avarice might find
its surest reward. They offered their
lives and all the energies of the coun
try were harnessed In the supreme ef
fort, because wo loved the institutions
of liberty and intended to maintain
them, because we hated tyranny nnd the
brutality and ruthlessness which founu
expression in tho worship of force, and
because we found our fute linked with
that of the free peoples who were

"You cannot obtain such n unity of

Milled forth the supreme endenvnor.
"This sentiment is uUH with us,
