BRAIDED
Impressed by Mr. Dclkcr's manner. "It
In our work te mate the Intelligent with
the Intelligent; the college bred with
the college bred; the high schoelbred
with the high school bred; the ignorant
with the ignorant," and se en.
.Matches Letters
Immediately he produced copies of
letters that he bad received. One was
from "The Itcleved Vagabond," nn ac
complished musician, he confessed, nnd
n lever of poetry. He was u globe
trotter. Then he rend one from ii
woman who also divulged her musical
Instincts, love of the poetical iind In
stinct for travel.
"They nre Ideally mated." said Mr.
Delker. "We shall endeavor te match
them."
Among ethers he read was one from
a persevering young man who wished te
study medicine, but did net possess the
necessary funds te attain his ambition.
Anether from a woman told of her
Mndnp's for anything medicinal or med
ical, nnd added that she was "com
fortably fixed."
Needless te say the two letters were
pinned together.
Then Mr. Delker answered n barrage
of (luestiens, burled nt him by his
listeners. Asked about the theory of
the club, be said;
"It is pure!) one te remedy loneli
ness. Yeu bnve no Idea hew many
thousands of persons spend their days
and nights alone, just waiting for an
opportunity such hh this. They suffer
evcruciatlng loneliness and are at their
wits' end te remedy their plight."
Eugenic Nut Considered
After that satisfactory explanation
was made an iuqulsithe newspaperman
wanted te knew "If the eugenic phase
of the plan had been ceiisidetcd."
"Well, no," replied Mr. Delker.
"We de net demand a certificate of the
applicant's health. Wc accept his word
of honor."
Later he admitted that even though
two references were required ftem
prospective levemntes there was no way
te pree the signatures, and one of them
presumably that of a clergyman, were
net forgeries.
Here are some facts concerning the
progress of the court, made public by
Mr. Delker:
Almest 1100 women applied for hus
bands. Nearly 1000 men asked for
wives. Councilman Kdward N. White
represented the widowers en the regu
lar jury; Councilman J. Leuis O'Don O'Den
jicll, the married men, and Sergeant
Harry T. Mottola the single men.
Mrs. Kedgera, or "Cupid," Is tlie de
ciding factor, the hand te guide the
matrimonial ship of her fellowmen away
' from the rock of disaster by seeing that
they are provided with the proper mute
, nt the very beginning.

W. Philaf Cigar Stere When
It Was "Lighted"
ACCUSED SEEK LOWER BAIL
Activities of Philadelphia's "arson
ring" today featured a hearing before
Judce Mcle-lt in which ceunfel for
. two men arrested following a fire In
West Philadelphia requested that
$10,000 bail In which each man was
held be reduced.
Testimony given by members of the
Flre Depnrtmpnt, Including Deputy
Fire Marshal Mulhern and Captain
, Clinten, who made the nrrests, tended
I te show that the accused men had
sprinkled the cigar store of Henjamln
. Snnls. southeast corner of Fifty-
i eighth and Hedman streets, with many
gnllnns of gasoline.
According te the fire marshal, the
proprietor of the store has cenfecspd
Hint he pnld members of Philadelphia's
"arson ring" ?-.1() te "light" his es
tablishment. Benjamin nnd 'David Henls, brolh brelh
ers. the accused men, were scored by
Judge McDevItt, who told them they
were luckv they were net being held en
a charge of attempted murder, nt the
testimony of members of thn fire de
pnrtment showed that an nged wemnn
nnd her two sons were nsleep in nn
apartment above the burning store.
H. II. Leldermnn, counsel for the ac
cused, startled the Court with his as
sertion tlint Henjamln Senls had fallen
a victim te the wiles of Philadelphia'!
"nrsen ring." a supposed organization
which approaches merchants In financial
trouble and offers te start fires which
wquld obtain their insurance.
Leldermnn mentioned the name of
David Oeldman, released In $10,000
ball under the same charges ns the
Senls brothers, ns n member of the
"ring."
Firemen who had been "tipped off"
te the fire in Seuls' plnce were en the
watch late Sunday night, when the
men nppenred in the store entrance and
extinguished the blaze In n short tlme
nfter leading Mrs. Anna Auritsky and
her sons safely te the street. They
found quantities of gnsellne in various
parts of the building and a burn
ing fuse wns plnced close te n con
tainer of gasoline. If this eentnlncr
Iind exploded, according te witnesses, It
might have wrecked many nearby
homes In nddltieu te destroying the
store building.

Cliften Heights Veterans Nese Out Lansdowne Gray Beards
by Ofcerc of 14 te 4
When thf sun called It a day and
deepening shadows made It Impossible
for the gray-halrrd combatants le sce
each ether, n ball game' between the
flfty-flve-yearelds of Lansdowne and
Cliften Heights ended last night with
sighs ei rcnet. . .
The sighs were due te the fact that
there, were no casualties. All the
players were in geed enough trim this
morning (e have both feet under the
table.
An te the score these who helped
count the run unanimously agreed that
Cliften wen 14 te 4. It, was se dark
when the Inst half dozen runs were com
piled that there was difference of
opinion regarding the mathematics.
The great contest was staged before a
crowd of at least 2000 and 240 fliv
vers. The latter proved their versatil
ity, for In addition te bringing nlmut
three-fourths the audience te the con
test, their claxons added te the en
thusiasm every time a thrilling play was
made.
Helng of a 'generous turn of mind,
the plnyers believed In giving the spec
tators n run for their money. He a
little football, hockey and wrestling
were Introduced for the sake of nov
elty. As the game had been looked forward
te for weeks, there was, a feeling of
tenseness when the combatants took
their places en the firing line. I'm I'm
plre Jau.es McCullough looked a little
uneasy when he started action. The
players, nil en thp ether side of the
half-a-hundred-yenr mark, were rivals
twenty-five years ngn. When they
fnced ench ether the old-time fighting
spirit was revived.
Thrills a,-Plenty
Cliften Heights, arrayed In uniforms
of elephant gray, arrived with a fife
and drum corps. They walked en the
dlan.end nt the Lansdowne athletic Held
with an air of assurance which was
borne out by the result.
There were thrills aplenty In every
one of the six Innings. Although Clif Clif
eon wrapped the game up and put It en
the shelf In the second Inning, the

the famous Eddie Cellins lived In their

The "deg-days" will be unusually
nctlvc for the unfertunate members of
Mnln Line cnnlnlty who hnppen te
be wandering about the section unli
censed, or without homes. Moreover,
the subsequent inroads upon the pocket
books of owners in the fashionable sub
urban towns may cause mere heat than
the weather warrants.
A crew of agents of the Slate De
partment of Agriculture has descended
en masse upon Montgomery County
nnd upon Lewer Meriqn township, In
particular, snreading a net ever the
countryside which will take In every
loose deg from Bryn Mnwr te Over
brook. The object of the campaign i
te check up en licensed and unlicensed
dogs, nnd te seek fines for deg owners
who neglected the formality that gees
with keeping the animal.
Already the campaign has netted a
total of thirty-eight victims in and
near Bryn Mnwr, eighteen of whom
liave nrpenred before Mnglstrnte Ar
thur, in Bryn Mnwr, nnd twenty of
whom have yielded their hard-earned
money te Sipilre William II. Bucklund,
of the same town.
The cost of a doe license Is $2.fi0 :
the total expenditure of a visit te the
magistrate, provided you have u deg
and no license, Mr Jfi.fiO. Moreover,
you have te get the license afterward.
Hence ?S mere or less finds its way
Inte the coffers of the Stnte.
Fortunate is the deg that bus an
owner, for he will reach bis home un
hnrmed as seen ns the agent can take
him there. But. if investigation shows
that the captured one is Just n "yallcr
deg." he may be disposed of without
ceremony. However, every effort will
be made te leente owners.
Chief Field Deputy James O. Fex is
In charge of the detail,, which includes
J. R. Beyer. J. D. F.vnns, (ienrge A.
Malcy and (Seerge S. Ilclnharl. They
have just made n clenn sweep of Bucks
County, with 1500 nrrests nnd tin equal
number of fines. The license lnw if
one passed by the State Legislature.
The summons te thn owner Is simple
and formal, It says: "Cnll te Justice
of the Peace nt 10 o'clock to
morrow morning." The justice does the
rest ns painlessly ns possible.
Following the clean-up of the Mnln
Line, the agents shift their activities
te Delaware County and the city of
Chester. They expect te have com
pleted the Main Line by the end of the
week.
