"I de solemnly swear true faith

the Irish Free State as by law es
tablished nnd that I will be faithful

ENT
Independents Wage Fight at
Polls Against Coalition
' " Panel of Candidates
CONSTITUTION COMMENDED
By the Associated Press
Dublin, June 10. The voters of
Southern Ireland went te the polls to
day te elect an Irish Parliament, ns
provided under the terms of the Anglo Angle
Irish treaty.
Under the recent agreement between
the factions favoring and opposing the
treaty, a coalition panel of candidates
wafc presented te the people, appor
tioning representation in the Parlia
ment nt approximately the enme ratio
ns shown In past testa of strength in
the Dall Elreann.
A number of Independents, however,
have .entered the field in an attempt
te overturn the panel en the treaty Is
sue, nnd It wns en this phase of the
struggle trnt interest mainly centered
ns the polling began.
Estimates were that at least fifteen
of the Independents would be success
ful, with the Anti-Treaty Party losing
ten and the Pre-Treaties five Beats.
Publication last night of the terms
of the draft of the Irish constitution,
en which the new Parliament muRt
pass, was net expected te influence the
vote. The comment of the Dublin
newspapers is mostly favorable te the
constitution.
The property classes were In the ma
jority in the mernlng'H voting, and the
Inhabitants of the fashionable squares
le-the southern part of Dublin, who
bad been expected te abstain, were out
in considerable numbers.
The workers are expected te poll
largely in the evening, and the voting
time has been extended te 0 o'clock for
their convenience.
The belief that another general elec
tion will be held In the near future
robbed tedqy's polling of most of its
interest for the majority of the peepls).
It wns thought that for the greater part
the southern nnd western counties would
return the candidates listed en the
coalition panel, the voters reserving the
ngni te casi tneir oaueta nt the next
election for whomever thev wish. x
In these districts where the electorate
will have an opportunity te record its
sentiment en the main Issue, it is be
lieved the treaty will receive hearty
indersement.
Following the election It is taken for
granted that the two wings of the Sinn
Feln will swing wider epart, necessi
tating the speedy compilation of a new
regis'""-, based en ndult suffrage, which
will ve the country a chnnce te ex

constitution and various domestic ques

Bcrl.ii, June" 10 (By A. P.) The
Independent Socialist newspaper, Die
Frelhclt, features n sensational com
munication from "a well-informed
source" announcing that a pan-Ger
man "putsch" is impending.
The writer states that the various
military parades, such as the Ven Hln
denburg celebrations, which have been
gelug en throughout Germany recently,
were serious preparations for a mon
archist coup d'etat, which he says Is
te be preceded by a sort of St. Bar Bar Bar
thoeomew's night In which all persons
whose names are entered en a special
blacklist will be given short shrift. The
writer declares the Ministry of Defense
nnd the pollee are Implicated ,in the
movement.
The resolutions say the Nationalist
ai 'inil)ns, with German officers and
ox-belulers, are Intending te held dem
onstrations throughout the country en
June 28, the anniversary of the sign
ing of the Treaty of Versailles. These
demonstrations, ic is ucciareu, prooa preoa proea

Mayer at Conference
$1,000,000 FOR BOULEVARD
BRANCH "CRYING NEED"
A policy of municipal construction
all needed hish-specd and surface lines,
beginning with a Roosevelt boulevard
line, was advocated today by Themas
E. Mitten, president of the Rapid
Transit Company.
At n conference Jn Mayer Moere's
office Mr. Mitten Bald a Roosevelt bou
levard line is "a crying need," and sug
gested the city build the tracks and
overhead equipment, te cost approxi
mately $1,000,060.
The company, he said, can furnish
the cars, carheuses nnd power sub
stations at an approximate cost of
$400,000, and would be prepared te
carry the first year's less en the line,
which he estimated would reach $250,
000. At the conference, In addition te
Mayer Moere and the P. R. T. head.
were ltichnni wcgicin, president or.
Ceuncil: Transit Director Twining,
City Sel':ltir Smyth, Alba B. John John Jehn
eon an! N. B. Kelly, of the Chamber
of Commerce, and Herace Greskln, of
the Kenl Estate Beard.
An ordinance authorizing a Roose
velt Boulevard line has been passed by
Council and signed by the Mayer. It
contains a ten-year "ouster clause'
compelling removal of the tracks from
the boulevard within that period en
proper notice.
Passage of this ordinance came
months after the airing of peculiar cir
cumstances surrounding an attempt te
Introduce n similar bill. It was as
serted nt the time that nn official. of the
Scars Roebuck Company, with a plant
en the boulevard, was solicited for a
bribe by some one posing as the repre
sentative of ceuncllmcn.
Councilman Llmeburner was men
tioned in the investigation, but was ex
onerated by n Council Committee.
In presenting his views regarding fu
ture transit development in Philadel
phia Mr. Mitten Bald:
High-Speed Lines Essential
"Additional high-speed and surface
lines are essential te. the uninterrupted
growth of Philadelphia. A definite pro
gram should be undertaken at an early
date ad between the city and the com
pany, in order that the additional high
speed and surface line extensions may
be completed in tlme, for use during
the Scsqul-Ccntennlal year.
"The Roosevelt Boulevard line, con
necting the Frankford nnd Nlcetewn
districts by way of Hunting Park ave
nue te a connection at Allegheny, is a
crying need. P. R. T. is in sympathy
with the thought that the city- should
reserve the right te remove street car
tracks from the boulevard when the
opening of adjacent streets makes this
desirable.
"The city can prcserve this right of
removal by itself building the tracks
and overhead construction, nnd this
Is the only way by which such exten
sions enn be hereafter built since pri
vate, capital cannot new be interested
in further development of city transit.
"The Roosevelt boulevard line, te-
S ether with all ether city-planned
Igh-spced and surface lines, will net,
nt first, earn sufficient te pay operat
ing costs. The city nt large, the abut
ting property holders and the city's
taxable values will secure great ad
vantage from added transit.
"The P. R. T. cannot hope te gain
financially by added transit, but en the
contrary, will be obliged te exert its
best efforts nnd economics te overcome
the less incurred from operating non nen
puylng extensions.
"What P. R. T. Is able te ac
complish will be largely measured by
the degree of co-operation which it
twplvea frnm tlia ftltv In mnblna l
banned economics effective, and by the
imeunt 01 return wnicn it would be
lequired te pay en the city's censtruc
tien costs.
"The city's fifty-year 4 per cent
bends require nn nvernge of 4.03 per
cent In order te pay interest and re
tire principal nt maturity. One per
cent, 2 per cent, 3 per cent, 4 per cent
and 5 per cent progressively for the
first five years en city construction costs
nnd 5 per cent for the remaining forty
five years produces nn average of 4.80
per cent for the entire period. Thus,
the city, by use of its credit nnd with
virtually no less in borrowing power,
could finance added transit, create In
creased taxable values nnd in the end
own the property mnde possible by use
01 tut; city's credit.
"The Roosevelt beulevnrd line will
require in cars, enrheuscs and power
substations property approximating
$400,000 in vnlue which the P. R. T.
could mipply. The P. R. T., with the
economics under way, could also bear
the initial operating less of this line,
approximating $2."0,000 for the first
year, but P. R. T. cannot prpvide the
money te build the trucks and overhead
en the Roosevelt boulevard which would
requlrc an expenditure of approximately
$1,000,000 en the part of the city."

"DON'T TELL!" THEY PLEAD
Afraid that their husbands would
PU'il.ih them when Informed of their ar-
freRt for shenllfting, two pretty Italian
Dnues wue nut recently arrived in tnis
country, gnvc fictltleun names te pollee,
and made n determined effort te keep
Becrct the disgrace, while detectives were
vainly trying te locate them after pleas
by the frantic husbands.
They are Mrs. Dollle Prlncri,
twenty-four yenrs old, nnd Mrs. Lucy
Ressettl, twenty-three yenrs old. both
of 2110 Mnnten street. They were ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Market
street store dctecUvci for taking three
dresses from a counter.
When token te City Hall and placed
in charge of the police matron the girls
started te weep bitterly. Throughout
the night, Ignoring attempts te pacify
them, they continued te cry and tear
their hair.
"What is going te become of us
new," they sobbed. "They will RUrcly
kill us." They were held In $500 bail
each for the Grand Jury.
The detectives did net discover the
real identity of the accused shoplifters
until this morning. When arrested
they had given the names of Mary Ros Res
serri, twenty-seven years old, and Mary
Pallaxsa, twenty-three years old, nnd
an address at Sixteenth and Tasker
streets.
When detectives went te the Seuth
Sixteenth street address they were told
the two girls were net known. They
decided the names were fictitious and
returned te City Hall te question them
further.
Shortly afterward the prisoners broke
down nnd admitted their- identity. Then
between broken sobs they told of the
vengeance their husbands would take.
"rlease don't let them knew," both
pleaded. "We are net really thieves.
But the dresses looked se pretty we
were tempted."
Unon entreaties of the nintrnn tlm
girls told the police that they left their
home yesterday morning after their hus
bands had gene te work. They rede
ns far as Market street and nfierwnnl
entered 0110 of the depnrtment stores.
"Nelther of us had much money, be
cause we didn't Intend te go any place,"
they said. "But flnajjy we wnndercd

of these gorgeous dresses was tee much.
We couldn't keep our hands off then.'."
Store detectives who net iced the ac

en the politicians. He thinks that he
has paid tee much attention te them

has fallen upon hlm recently is due te
his compromises. Just new his face is
set rather sternly ngninf.t the men who

President Leses Geed Temper
The scolding of the press which la

Is gene. When the politicians turn up
with the petition which they have been
circulating in Congress nnd which they

marks the end of the long fight between
Mr. Klmer Dever, Assistant Secretary
of the Trensury, and Mr. David H.

predicted. It will be the retirement of
Mr. Dever from the Treasury Depart

which the petitioners demand is extraor

choice but te resign.
