EFFORT IS MADE TO SHOW THAT
 CITY IS SAFE

Philadelphia, March 9.--A campaign to dissipate the impression apparently wide ly prevalent throughout the country that
 Philadelphia is in the grip of strike ter rorism, and that the city Is not safe or a pleasant place to visit at the present time, was inaugurated by the Merchants and Manufacturers association.
 In resolutions adopted by the associa-
 tion's board of directors it is pointed out that exaggerated reports of the serious ness of conditions in this city have been
 widely circulated, and the organization, representative as it is of Philadelphia 8 largest business interests, asks the press of the city to cooperate in making the actual facts known.
 What outbreaks have occurred have been sporadic in character the resolution declares, and these have been mostly in the outlying districts of the city, and cas- fly handled by the local police. It is de- clared that Philadelphia is anything but excited over conditions, and that except for the printed reports "the majority of the citizens would be ignorant that any thing but normal conditions prevailed"
 Determination to stand its ground is ex- pressed by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company, not only through its announce In6nL tndt II HdS Sdl0 llb idct WOiu OA CT bitration, but through its offer made to- day of $50 reward for information on
 which an arrest can be made for acts tending to intimidate or terrorize the families of the motormen and conductors on its lines. The company declares 1t has information that systematic effort is un- der way to frighten women of It's em-
 ployes in their families by circulating false reports of injury to the heads of {x.1i and wi a n children in a state of terror for fear that harm will come to the men who have re- mained at work.
 For days the strike leaders have been planning for a monster outdoor demon- stration in aid of the sympathetic walk out strikers. They are convinced that if one were permitted it's size and en- thusiasm would work wonders for their cause.
 Late today, in pursuance of this idea, the leaders announced that tomorrow afternoon a giant mass meeting will be held.
 The meeting will be held in the Phila- delphia baseball park at Broad and Huntingdon streets.
 When Director of Public Safety Clay heard of this he took prompt action. An nouncement was made from the city hall that the proposed outdoor gathering would not be permitted.
 The committee of 10 declared tonight that it proposed to disregard Director Claws prohibition of the proposed meet ing in the baseball park and would hold | 1t tomorrow, as announced.
 Strike leaders Pratt. Murphy, Mahon and others are scheduled to speak. The committee of 10 tonight issued It's first detailed list of the men who they say are now on strike. Tho total claimed lis 1s9,57i, which does not include. the statement says, several thousand who

the past when prices were unusually high. The fact came to him through the finding of an old document of the Twenty-fourth Congress. It was a recommendation by the Secretary of the Treasury for an in crease in the salaries of clerks, and the senator today obtained from the Senate permission for the reprinting of the paper.
 MT. Lodge explained that it was ac- companied by private memorandum of expenses which had been kept by a clerk. At that time the memorandum showed

Philadelphia March 9-Commenting on the action of the State Federation of Labor In adopting a resolution tentative ly favoring nationwide sympathetic strike. an official of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company today said:
 ''If countrywide general strike amounts to no more than the city-wide general strike, it will be entitled to sym pathy. So far as arbitration is concerned the company has said it's last word. If the nationwide strike depends on fur ther rejection of arbitration by the com pany the strike will surely come"

His latest sorrow he de- scribed with great feeling A Texan has sent to the secretary samples of ginger bread and plain bread made from cot tcnreed flour, and has requested that the secretary sat the samples and then tes- tify as to their toothsomeness.

In many instances, however prices paid for foodstuffs in foreign ports are con- siderably less than at ports in the United States. Prices at Norfolk, Va, and Hong Kong. China, are as fol- loxps.

IS FRANK COULD
 MARRIED, OR NOT?

New York, March 9.-A cablegram was received today by friends of Frank Gould, it is said, announcing that his marriage to Miss Edith Kelly, the English dancer. ts made an event of the future. MT. Gould's friend sent him congratulatory messages last night on report that he had welded the little chorus girl in Flu rope.
 Mrs. Gould is reported as saying that there will be no ceremony until perna : nent disposition Is made regarding the two children by his first wife. Curiously enough the maiden name of the first Mrs. Gould was Miss Helen Kelly.
 While the divorce proceedings were on Frank Gould met Miss Edith Kelly here and his attentions to her were very marked. Five months ago Goul1 and Miss Kelly departed for Europe
 Recently Bessie Devoie. an actress. brought suit against Frank Gould for coo. She made public some letters which she alleged were written by him.
 Nothing Learned in Paris.

 MT. Gould's secretary MT. Calhoun, said that his employer knew the purpose of the inquiries and had authorized him to say that MT. Gould refused to discuss the report or to make any statement what ever. MT. Calhoun himself refused to say whether Miss Kelly was here. Mir.
