' '"" T , - - -r Broeme Telja 0.0 P. Women . Issues Should Be Decided by Nen-Partisan Rule LORIMER PRESIDES Education should be kept out of par tisan politics, Superintendent of Schools Broeme said, today In an ad dress before the Republican Weman's Club, 210 Seuth Seventeenth street. A non-partisan commission of able persons should be named if there Is anything wrong with the educational system of Pennsylvania, he assarted. He was optimistic ever the Influence women voters will exert en moral and educational problems. "Education Is a matter altogether tee vitally concerned with the lives of children te be permitted te become a partisan Issue' Dr. Broeme said. VMy hope Is tbat your organization will de Us utmost te keep education out of party politics and te endeavor te make clear te. the people that education Is the concern of the entire Commonwealth and of every individual thereof, re gardless of what their party affiliations may be. "If it Is your Intention te support candidates for office In the Interest of schools I hope you will support tbose who stand for 'this principle. "The rapid progress that public edu cation bas made In the last few years has been due te the fact that the peo ple as a whole have come te recognize mac eaucatien is a subject above the ordinary partisan contests for control. Penna. Ha Made Rapid Strides "During the last few years Pennsyl vania has made some rapid strides in the progress of Its public schools, "The eyes of the Natien are en our schools, are en our State. We cannot afford te take a backward step. When the States are again compared ns te educational standing as they were by Dr. Ayers, director of the Russell Sage Foundation, a few years age, let us hope that instead of being in the middle of the list Pennsylvania will rank edu cationally with where her wealth and prestige require that is, brought up te the head of the list. ' "It ia quite right that women should have equal voice with the men In deter mining these matters. Women are equally intelligent and likely te W mere conscientious in the dlscharge of their political duties, especially when tlmy have become informed as te hew best te discharge these duties. "I especially leek forward te a better handling of moral and educational prob lems when the Influence of women voters becomes fully operative, as women are by nature the conservators of moral standards. "If there is anything wrong with the educational system of this State let it be settled by a non-partisan commis sion of able persons appointed espe cially for that purpose, rather than be settled en party lines at the polls." Mrs. Geerge Heraco Lerlmer. presi dent of the Republican Weman's Club, occupied the chair at the meeting.

BURNS ' Tayler street man shot te death by a City Hall detective who says Burns was an automobile thief DETECfiraORY Victim Net Alene in Stelen Aute, His Brether-in-Law Asserts CORTELYOU PROBING CASE Edward Fltzglbben, of 3037 North Twenty-third street, vehemently denied today that his brother-in-law, Rebert II. Burns, was alone in a stolen auto mobile yesterday when overtaken and shot te death by Raymond Murray, a City Hall detective. "I knew that my brother-in-law was unable te operate n machine," Fltzglb ben said today, "and I have learned from several persons that there were several men In the car when it was chased by the detective." Director Cortclyeu Is today probing the sheeting which occurred during a band-te-hand struggle between Burns and the detective at Lehigh avenue near Chalmers street. According te Detective Murray, Burns was alone In the car when he sp6tted him nt Twenty-first street and Allegheny avenue as the man wanted for stealing an automobile. Detective Murray was given n hear ing this morning before Magistrate Ceward in Central Station. He was held without bail te await the action of the Corener. He. was turned ever te Captain Bender. Murray commandeered another car nnd gave chase. ' He saw that another man was accompanying Burns in an other car. He put en speed, and getting ahead, swung his car in the path of the ether machines and brought them te a step. Leaving his meter, Murray went te Burns 'and told him te get out of bis car, that he was under arrest. "Fer what?" asked Burns. An Instant later Burns and his com panion sprang out of the car and started te run, but Murray sprang 'te his feet and seized Burns. Thereupon the ether suspect turned nnd with his companion fell upon Murray and beat and kicked him. A crowd assembled, but no one offered assistance te the de tective, who hesitated te draw his pistol. It was net until he had been knocked down several times that the detective did draw his pistol, and then, he said later, with no Intention of using it, but simply te intimidate the men. But again they jumped upon him. and In the scuffle the pistol went off. the bullet striking Burns in the region of the heart. At that, Burns' companion ran up Lehigh ayenue. followed by several men. He succeeded, however, In making his escape. Patrolmen of the Twenty second street nnd Hunting Park avenue station took charge of the automobiles, while Murray went te the station house nnd by phone surrendered te Lieutenant Belshaw. chief of the murder sound. The ether man escaped, but police say they knew who he is and expect te make an arrest. James MrMullcn, law partner of Heward B. Bcltler. and father of the girl whose automobile was stolen and recovered by the detective, called en Captain Bender today te say that he nnd Mr. Beitler would be glad te de anything in their power for Detective Murray. Mr. McMullen said if bail were fixed for the detective's release he would be glad te enter security. Assistant Superintendent of Police Kenny nnd Captain of Detectives Sou Seu der both signed the following state ment: "A personal investigation has been made and we find that Murray is net te blame for the unfortunate sheeting of Rebert Burns. Murray had noti fied Burns before the sheeting that he and his companions were under arrest. Burns would net submit xte arrest and grappled with Murray, then threw Murray te the ground. "Murray drew his revolver and shot three times In the nlr. One of the shots struck Burns. We are fully con vinced after examining several witnesses that the bullet would net have struck Burns if his companion had net tried te snatch the gun, causing it te ex plode." Lieutenant Lestrange, of the automobile squad, praised Murray as enn of the best, men In the service. He said he believed it was an unfortunate accident.

That would leave Glfferd Plnchet the sole opposition te the "harmony" candidate. The Reed declaration njainst the Grundy leaders has brought him into the limelight ns the probable appointee te succeed Senater Crew should the lat ter resign. It is felt In Informed circles that the Governer would net even ap point Bell for the brief ad Interim term. His age and the recent stories of al leged financial deals are believed te have definitely put him out of the running se far as the Governer is concerned. Senater Vare continues te insist tbat Mackey Is the leading candidate for Governer. He, however, Is believed te be greatly impressed by the opposition of such lenders as "Tem" Cunnlnghnm te the Mackey candidacy. Corener Knight, another Vare leader, however, after a conference with Senater Vare this morning, hotly declared for Mackey. He said the leaders would be foolish te agree en any one else.
