Denies Bigotry in Opposition
"This opposition is not In any sense
rounded In bigotry. The principle Is
opposed because It is unconstitutional.
"In the second, place, It Is because
they have been, nnd arc, unnltcrably
determined to keep apart church and
State without regard to creed or clnss.
If It were possible, nnd the union could
be brought about, that tho Methodist
Episcopal Church could become the
State church of Pennsylvania, or of tlio
United State we would be as strenu
ously opposed to the movement as If
It were some otner denomination in
voked. "And finally. In caring for tho sick
and maimed we do not wish to bo under
the domination of any person who may
be able to secure linancla! aid for us
from a legislative body. I mean any
political power.
"We have had offers of assistance
to'th! Methodist Episcopal Hospital-
from State funds, tint we have stead
fastly lefuscd to avail ourselves 01
them. It is n matter of principle.
Money has been appropriated which we
declined to accept.
"Our hospital is proclaimed by name
is a Methodist Institution devoted to
the work of aiding suffering humanity.
It Is sectarian In manneement. and
although we treat and care for twice
is many adherents of other sects as we
do Methodists, we do not feel that the
people of the State, and of other de
nominations, should contribute to our
llory and our support as Methodists.
No Hellgious Mhos
"In the sense that we admit and care
for individuals, sick or maimed, with

"There can be not the slightest ob

followers. Hut It should be ninintnlned

without State aid.
"At the same time I am of the opin

The dark, dank little alleyway which

Is soon to pass as n human habitation.
It wns here thnt Mrs. Margaret
Liiealrcthch fell In the slime on Wed
nesday, by her doorstep, the victim of
a murderer's bullet.
And It wns In tills furtive little court
.vnrd that Mrs. Lucaircthch raised her
live children ns best she could, even
setting out pathetic window boxes In
tlie hope that a sun which scarcely
reaches the alleyway should in some
way warm the flower seeds Inlo life.
But now the courtynrd Is to become
n memory, nnd n memory which nil who
have known lt will try to lose.
For George 15, Leonard, owner of
the property, has assured the Depart
ment of Health that he will tear down
tho three poor little dwellings thnt
crowd each other In the court and add
the space to his store.
Mr. Leonard, a produce merchant,
occupies the property nt 122 Spruce
street. At the side of his store is nn
nrchway, that leads through a tunnel,
about thirty feet long, out Into the tlnv
court where the Lucaircthch family
lived.
Court Four Feet Wldo
Tills court is about four feet wide,
tlie entire width from house to house
being eight feet. The difference is tnken
up by a high board fence which occu
pies the west side of the alley.
The rear of the eouit is open nnd n
smnll awning hns been rigged to afford
some protection from the elements when
one of tho persons living there wishes
to "tuke on nlrlng."
An inspector of the division of hous

Health, went down yesterday to inspect
the place and reported bnck to George
H. Shaw, chief of the division. 4
"We find." said Chief Shaw, "that
the place is underdrntned. However,
the sole water supply comes from n
hydrant in the center of the court, and
this has been brought to the nttciitlon
of Mr. Leonard, who has told us he

Director Furbush deplored the con

"Conditions lire everything thev sny

that are far worse. '
"For instance, at Third and Bnln
bridge streets is u tenement house
where there is but n thirty-inch alley
way in front of some of the doorsteps.
Yet we ore powerless to have the places
torn down, lor our hands are tied under
the law.
"The housing code of 1Ill.ri specitlcall"

The bousing leferred to, under Sec

By tho Associated Press
TiOndon, July 2.'l. Spanish troops
nre reported to hove suffered a disaster

Const, where they hnve been furiously
attacked by rebellious tribesmen.
Tho Spanish nre said to have lost
heavily in a desperate engagement, nnd
re-enforcements nre being sent to the
scene. Private advices characterize the
situation on the Karbnry Const as criti
cal. By way of Paris come reports thnt
hundreds weu- killed or wounded in
hand-to-hand fighting which followed
the attack on ndvnneed positions by n
large contingent of tribesmen. Gcnernl
hi vestre, the .Spanish commander, is
said to hnve been wounded. The light
ing is still lontlniiing.
Spanish military circles tend to min
imize the giavity of the situation. The
Spaniards me admitted, however, to

Hu (1 Staff Correspondent
Atlantic City. July 23. Four speedy
auxiliary Fchooiiere, two-masted and
each etii!tpp(l with a pair of flfty
hor.sepower engines, ore landing 12,000
cases of good Irish and Scotch whisky
at this resort or In nearby watern every
month.
That is the ussertlon of men who ar
"in the know" here. They have tbi
facts at their fingers ends. It Is knows
that the whisky cargoes, immensely val
tiahle, arc taken on at the ISahamaa,
where good Irish and Scotch whisky,
tlie real thing, may he bought for $16
a case.
It is known that they are brought to
a point just outside the three-mile limit
off Atlantic City and there transferred
to swift bank boats, long, low-fying
craft capable of living In almost any
sea and ordinarily used in tlie far lcs
lucrative fishing trade.
How Volstead Is Defied
It is known where these bank boats
land their precious liquid freight. It
doesn't all come Jo Atlantic City, but
this resort gets its fair share and. as
every one knows, the visitor need not
go "dry" on nny part of the island If
lie Is properly vouched for.
There Is plenty of information to ba
had in Atlantic City concerning the
methods nnd organization of the
"whisky syndicate." As carried on,
the modern rum-running trade is In
vested with all the excitement and
romantic glamor of the smuggling
along the EnglMi coast In ancient
days. As of jore. it is a job for "a
dirty night in the dark of the moon."
Different Contraband
Hut, instead of the square-built lug
ger standing in to some hidden cove ot
a rock-bound coast, and casks of rum
or hogshead of tobacco ferried ashore
In a Jolly-boat manned by rufliar.i
wearing tarred pigtails and cutlnsses,
the deep-sea yacht and the swift
powerboat, the wireless and the speedy
motorcar are figuring in the contraband
trade.
The hazardous, fascinating and ex
tremely lucrntlve trade of saving
parched Americans with the price from
d,ing of thirst, Is sold to be directed
by a sjndicate of wealthy men, som?
of them New Yorkers, some l'hllndel
phinns and some all-year residents of
Atlantic City.
"Just wait 'till the names of the
Atlantic City men get out," the wls
ones nre saying at the resort, "ani
then won't there be n howl."
Crew Takes All the Chances
According to the accepted story,
which is traceable to a mini believed to
bo vety close to the trade, tlie cap
tains of the ships which bring tlie liquor
to the Atlantic seaboard are "declared
in" on tlie profits. Tlie syndicate fur
nishes the bouts, bujs the stores and
gasoline, pujs the crew and takes all
financinl risk. The captain nnd the
crew brave the dangers of tlie sea or
of a brush with an armed revenue
cutter. They tnke chances on wind and
weather on the black nights when their
craft is hove to in the trough of a dirty
sea and the precious cases of whisky
are transferred one by one to waiting
power boats.
ltut they nre well paid for the
chances they take. The captain helps
cut the big melon: the crew, though
down In the articles at seamen's wages,
have a private agreement, it is said,
whereby they split a "pool" after every
trip, the pool being "sweetened" by the
ounor.s with S'J for encli cns .nrrln.l
As big juclits and auxiliary schooners
are used, wiui n capacity ot .mm) cases
of liquid cargo a trip, tlie crew's earn
ings nre very considerable.
A Snug Uttlc Profit
The whisky, bought at $10 a cape, it
sqid to be sold for .J I a case wholesale
by tlie svndicate to bootleggers and sa
loons. This, after paying the crew $2
a case, would leave $0 a case tn cover
expenses ami provide profits for the
shareholders in tlie ship. Kighteea
thousand dollars n trip might be re
garded ns a prctt fair amount, espe
cially as a round trip enn be made In
a month with little trouble. The run-
