Philadelphia's men nnd women voters,
with the Republicans vastly In the ma
jority, began balloting nt 7 o'clock this
morning, net 'te settle any local fights,
because there are none, but te swell the
statewide totals for the Republican
Stale and national ticket.
The dank, damp, dismal weather
wnieri greeted the election efljcera wnen
they opened the polls this morning put
i he leaders en their mettle, because it
lint every ene else out of humor for
noting.
The leaders took a leek nt the skies,
grabbed eome breakfast and a raincoat,
mid hurried out te give first aid te
begged-down citizens. Every ene was
afraid of a light vote becausa of the
lienvy skies, nnd a visit te the division

ARCHITECTS URGE
ORIGINAL FAIR PLAN
Resolutions at Meeting Cite
Benefits That Would Ac-
crue te City
WANT NEW SEWAGE PLANT
Adoption of the original plans for the
Scsqul-Centcnnlnl Exposition en ac
count of the general benefits which
nrcrue te the city In the way of per
manent improvements from nn artistic
nnd sanitary standpoint was advo
cated in resolutions passed last night
nt a regular meeting of thp Philadel
phia Chapter of the American Insti
tute of Architects. The meeting was
held nt the T-Square Club.
After pointing out the necessity for
Improving the banks of the Schuylkill
River ns part of the fair plan, it is
urged that plans be adopted for puri
fication of the river below the dam.
This could be done, it is said, by
means of separate sewnae dlsnesnl sys
tems which would cost less than the
present project for sewage disposal, and
it is contended that the money thereby
waved would almost pay for the fair
itseir.
The resolution says, among ether
things: "The present method under
consideration ty the city of taking care
of the sewage is both unnecessarily ex
pensive, and has the disadvantage that
It would have te be built all at one
time, while the taking care of the sepa
rate outlets locally could be under
taken separately, and at such a reduc
tlen of cost ever the ether system that
the saving would almost pay for the
cntire exposition,
"The Philadelphia Chapter advo
cates the adoption of the original plans
ncccptedl by the Seaqul-Centennial
Cemralttia because:
"(a) The Parkway would be greatly
benefited and made a permanent Im
provement for the city in a short space
of time,
(b) The present unsightly banks of
the Schuylkill River, cast te Vine street
or better, te Market street, which are
new unused and wesre Mm:. In addi
tion would be reclaimed, and probably
a great lasting benefit derived by the
city.
(c) The natural beauty and advan
tages derived by using the banks of the
Schuylkill River are tee strong te be
overlooked in favor of ether locations,
where effects would have te be created
artificially.
(d) The practicability of keeping the
fair aa compact as possible and near
the city se that the housing of the peo
ple will be made easier.
(e) The excellent transportation fa
cilities both by rail and auto provided
for by. this plan.
Regnrdless of the Sesqut-Centennlal
Exposition, the Chapter of the Ameri
can Institute of Architects meBt strong
ly ndvocates the adoption and Immedi
ate building of separate eewage disposal
plants te purify the river, and the
abandoning of the present project te
carry all sewage te a large plant lo
cated south of Oraya Ferry bridge, this
latter acheme being unnecessarily ex ex ex
ponslve nnd long in execution.

WIFE TELLS OF DECISION j
TO BRING CASE TO CRISIS
"Time te Pack Belongings,"
She Says, in Criticizing Mur
der Investigation
New Brunswick. N. !.. Nev. i.
Henry Stevens, brother of Mrs. Frances
Stevens Hall, and "unnamed suspect"
In the Hall-Mills murder mystery. Is
about te leave the country.
This news would be sensational If
"Captain Bunkie," as the once famous
wing shot Is known, were planning te
slip awny In secret.
Instead, it has its grimly humorous
aspect, because he has told ths irerld
his plans and is waiting hopefully for
results. What he wants, according te
n nubile stntcment. made by hie wife In
IiIh nbenec. is te be arrested or let
alone entirely.
He bus determined te force the hands
of the authorities; te make them "put
up or shut up.
SiniiiltniieuiiMly witli announcement
of Stevens' determination, It was ru
mored in New Brunswick that when the
Grand Jury finally gets round te the
long premised Indictments, three per
MMis would he charged with the mur
ders, two men nnd n woman, nnd that
neither "Captain Bunkie" nor "Wil
lie" Steens wns te he indicted. Ac
cording te the story, they have been
eliminated definitely.
Tired of Being "Shadowed"
Almest since the discovery of the
murder of the Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall, his brother-in-law, and Mrs.
Eleaner Reinhnrdt Mills, f-tnger in the
choir of St. Jehn the Evangelist's
Church, "Captain Bunkie" has been
under surveillance.
He snys he is tired of it, nnd If the
police have anything en him they had
better make a quick move, for he will
be efT for a trip around the world ns
seen as he can make his arrangements,
Stnte troopers, according te the Stevens
family, have pestered the life out of
"Captain Bunkie" by "shadowing"
him in ridiculous disguises at Laval
lette, N, J., where he has remained in
his summer cottage.
ThI Bhadewing has continued, Mr.
Stevens cempinins, in spite of the fact
thnt he has proved an alibi for every
hour of the night of the murder.
The plun of Stevens te bring matters
te a crisis was mnde known today by
his wife, Mrs. Ethel Stevens.
She is nn attractive woman of about
forty-five years old and very direct in
manner,
Mrs. Stevens Tallw
When newspapermen called at her
home, a veritable show place facing the
bench, Mrs. Stevens icceivcd them gra
ciously and expressed pleasure at hav
ing an opportunity te give her views
en the subject. She was becomingly
attired and the tasteful furnishings of
her heme showed that the reports con
cerning the means of Mr. nnd Mrs.
Stevens had net been exaggerated.
While she ppeke there was a tinge of
levity in her mnnner, especially when
she discussed the method used by State

Spangler, Pa Nev. 7. Throughout
the long black night, silent as death but
for the ghatly clanking of chains at
slew intervnls, the cage of the Rellly
mine wns lowered and raised nnd
brought forth its blackened dead. By
0 o'clock this morning fifty bodies had
been brought up out of the death pit.
A summary of the situation se far as
it is known Is as fellows :

During tlm entire niifht. under ths
(direction of (Jeeige Nichelson, mperln-
tendent of nn adjoining mine, relays
descended the 100-feet shaft te ex
plore the remainder of thirteen hejd
ings, and te bring back what dead lay
at the feet of the shaft-. I'ntil a lata
hour last night rescuing parties brought
up none of the dead, but with doctors
and a number of priests attempted te
resuscitate thehe bodies which showed
the least Epaik of life. '
Gruesome enough during the long
night was its sinister tragic silence. Ths
wives and mothers, who steed in a
downpour of rain all afternoon, were
persuaded te return te their homes.
Only here nnd there steed a lonely
figure, wrung with suspense, with eyes
weary of tears, who hoped against all
hope.
At nlvetit 1 1 o'clock, nfter It seemed
that these who were still alive in ths
darkness of the earth bad all been
found, the cage or elcnter began its
bitter trips down the shaft. And with
each nt-cent, the stout chains rattling,
the lift lipped the surfnee of the earth,
and three blackened miners, the torches
nt their caps 'gleaming, pushed out ths
Iren car.
Ilegln Bringing Up the Dead
In the car, wrapped in oily canvas,
lay the men cold in denth, who net
much earlier than the sun's trip ncrel
the fcky had been laughing with their
buddies, strong for u day's work. Ter-
imps there were two men, or even thrss.
