Senater Pepper began his address lust
allot by sawn tbnt be did net desire
te enter into a controversy ever the
fair with any one. He then pictured
kiiaicu in tbe year 1920 as n visitor
wis bad attended tbe Scsaul-Centcn-
Bill and was telling his friends back
some wnai lie nan seen.
Chestnut Street In 1020
"I tot off at the Pennsylvania Rail
read station and found my way te
Chestnut street," he said in describing
bis vision, "i expected te find it a
airrew oust street, like tne ones in
ether cities, but instead I found a court
f honor. There were net trolley cars
time, no automobiles. One of the
townspeople told me that the traffic
ww being directed east en, Spruce street
and west en Walnut. I new only
hind-propelled vehicles of all descrip
tions. "Then when I get te Independence
Bill I saw once again tbs signing of the
Dettaratten of Independence, it wan
repeated every day at a stated hour. I
law Geerge Washington and tbe first
muting of the Continental Congress.
I hw William Penn sign bis treaty with
thi Indians right at the spot where It
actually happened. I was thrlllcib by
the splendid reproduction of these bin bin
terlc incidents.
"Then I went west again en Chest,
net street and came te Bread street. It
was a street of nations, subdiv ided into
lectiens decorated with the flag of the
wleus nations represented nt the ex
position. There were sidewalk cafes
en the principal corners where thou
sands of persc.ns could step and talk.
The scene resembled one I might find 111
Londen or Paris.
"Barriers had been erected In tbe
ft for the passuge of automobiles
and between the barriers and the side
walks the space was reserved for
camels, elephants, horses and donkeys.
Racing en Bread Street
"Up en North Bread street, known
as automobile row, the automobile men,
at their own expense, had erected a
huge speedway where the world's lead
ing races did things that would raise
the hair of even the most blase.
Down at the southern end of Bread
street a huge athletic park had been
reeled. On the river the world's best
oarsmen were rowing. Baseball World
Deriex, International pole and tennis
times were In progress. All the lend
""L athletes of the world were there.
I was told that when the fair was
Brit proposed the people thought it
would be centered in one particular
section of the city. It had branched
out te practically every section, how hew
ever. In Roitberough, I .remember,
injusands of persons were metering te

Case Is "Streng"
Government agents this afternoon,
unearthed the largest liquor scandal
since the McConnell case when they
raided the wholesale liquor establish
ment of I. L. Llpschuts, 226 Seuth
street, and seized wines and liquors
valued at $300,000.
The alleged fraud Involves close te
$100,000, according te United States

Tbe case involved diversions "of li
quor en a large scale. v"arrants for
I. L. Llpschuts and bis son, Milten' W.

According te Assistant District At
torney Friedman 'the- records of the
firm show that 1000 cases of" liquor
were sunnesed te have been shinned te
the New Jersey Drug Company, of
Newark. This llauer never reached
New Yerk, and the .permit en which
the liquor was released .was pronounced
a. fraud.
Anether big shipment involved 300
cases of wine and 350 cases of cordials
te the Atlantic Drug Company, 1120
Arctic avenue. Atlantic City. An in
vestixatieu. according te Mr. Friedman.

eoeds.
Other nods which the defendants are
charged with having diverted include
iittsu cases et cordials; leuu cases et
whisky; 425 cases of giu; 1100 cases
of brandy and two cases of etner liquors.
The defendants filed with the Gov
ernment a bend for S50.000 te with

dealer permit and forfeit tbe bend, the
authorities say.
"This is the biggest case we have
unearthed since, the McConnell indict
ment," said Mr. Celes when be was ad
vised by Director Davis of the alleged
extent of the fraud.
"We feel we have checked the seu re a

The case bad been investigated for

this afternoon.
According te Director Davis, the de
fendants had a importers and exporter's
permit which was surrendered en tbe

investigation of the books showed that
for 1021 they were unable te explaiu
the disappearance of 11,803 gallons of
whisky and 600 gallons of imported

Milten W. Linschutz told the agents
tbat the whole case was merely techni

watching Xpr her daughter while the
latter stele fine clothes' se, she could
be 'a flspper, amazed both tbe Judge
and spectators In tbe room,
Vlt is the first time in the history
of this court," Judge Stern said, "that
a mother has made' such an admission
and I am astounded te think of it."
The mother. Mm. Anna Mesimc.
6054 Vine street, wept as she told her
story. With her daughter, Idn, twen
ty-three years old, she is charged with
the theft of clothing valued ut $150
from a Market street department store.
"I had no money te buy the clothes
my daughter wanted," she said. "Ids
ret the craze te he a tlaneer and te
get her the necessary clothing we de
cided te sceai.
Chese Lesser of Evils
"I was afraid she would adept a
worse method of getting her finery, se
intent was she upon being able te dress
as well as ether girls in the neighbor
hood. '
"We went te the department store
and I steed watch while she took the
things she wanted."
Mrs. Meslme, who Is a dignified and
motherly looking woman, forty -seven
vears old, came te Philadelphia with
her daughters a year age from Allen
town. When tbe mother and duughter finally
were caught by store detectives, a
search of their home revealed dresses,
waists, silk hose, expensive lingere and
umbrellas that had been taken from
various shops.
"Yeu don't mean te say that you, a
mother, went te a store with your
daughter, knowing she was going te
steal articles of clothing," Judge Stern
exclaimed.
Margaret Dennelly Says She

HE TRIED TO DISSUADE HER
Convinced that her sweetheart no

thet and asked me te ineetxDim. i
. "We went te tbe movies, and as we
came out of the theatre I let bim go
outside and wait for me. Then I drank
the poison."
At first Marguiet ichemFiitly denied.
with a determined shake of her bobbed
blonde hair, that she loved "Jlmmie."
Then she changed her story.
' "I love hlm,r' she said, "but I don't
tbink be loves me. i wanted te die and
end it ull, and I'm sorry I didn't. But
se long as I didn't I should be glad, I
suppose, and want te live." i
Margaret said that she had known
McKnlght for u leug time, but that she
i'ed been "going, with him" only for
the last sis months,
Wife Questioned Husband
"My husband did net come liemeun

Miss Dennelly lives with her aunt,
Miss Badle Dennelly, at 1230 Seuth

who demands' her care'. . .
"I would like te knew mere about
these people before finally disposing of
the case," Judge Stern said. ,"I want
te knew mere about their family life
nnd ubeut the real reason why they
stele these clothes. I am amazed at
the story told here. As far as I knew,
this Is the first case te reme before a

Marien, II!., .Vev. 15. The slew

non-union men, remain en the panel
that needs another acceptable venireman
before it can be sworn.
, State's Attorney Duty is undoubtedly
anxious te secure a dozen farmers nnd
non-union men te sit in judgment upon'
the five union members charged with
the murder of Heward Heffman last
June during the labor riot at the Lester,
strip mine, four miles from Hcrrin.
The three farmers retained were se
cured after the examination of Heme

Yesterday the State spent eight per.'
emptery challenges, net because of

Attorney Geerge White, examining
during the afternoon session for the
defense, asked Clem Stanley, a miner
