TO ERECT MONUMENT
TO ARCHBISHOP RYAN.
Holy Name Society lnaugurates
Movement.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1s.-Undcr
the auspices of the Holy Name Society
q monument will soon be erected 10
the memory OF Archbishop Patrick
John Ryan. When the plan was sug-
gested by James r. Hare, president OF
tho society, he was Immediately offered
donations amounting to almost enough
to construct the monument, but these
offers were refused.
I'VE want the monument or statue
erected by small contributions from
the entire membership" he said yes
terday. sit will cost $780, 900, and this
sum could easily be raised by large
subscriptions. but we much prefer that
a great number OF people be interested
through small contributions.
"On March 10 the Holy Name Society
will hold a meeting and then a com
mittee will be appointed to take charge
of the affair. I do not doubt that the
money will be easily raised, and a
statue or monument erected that Will
fittingly express the love and esteem
in which we hold the memory of the
archbishop.
THE Idea Is to place this monument
on the parkway, near the cathedral.
Until the parkway is ready for 1t, how
ever, we hope to place it temporarily
on the City Hall plaza. From there
1t can be removed later to a permn-
nent site on the parkway

NEGRO MINISTER
CHARGES SANDER.
SEEKS DAMAGES
Collection Dwindles. congrega-
ton Grows Small All Because
of "Damnifying" Gossip.

The Rev. Enoch c. Hare, of 1927
Garside street, a negro pas 4or, of the
Mt. olivet Baptist Church, which Is at
tended by negroes, thinks Robert II.
Davis of 1091s Sheffield street, a mem,
Der of his congregation, has slanderel
him $4,000 worth, I'M through his at
torney today filed papers In a suit to
recover that amount
In these papers the pastor declares
that until January 10 everything was
lovely. He said he had the respect and
esteem Of a large congregation and OF
his wife Roberta, and was preaching
regularly ito his great gain and profit
Mrs. Hare was superintendent of the
Sunday school and harmony around tbs
Mt. Olivet Baptist Church was spelled
in capital letters and printed in black
face.
But. still. according to the papers,
the serpent entered the garden on the
aforesaid January 10, when the afore-
eaid Davis accused him to several
members of his congregation of run
ming around with his wife," meaning
Mildred.
Mr.. DAVIS, TO quote tine papers Some
more, did not rest content with this
aspersion, but accused me of using
church money 10 buy my wife a coal
and my children a pair of Shoes"
As the direct result of these charges,
according to the papers, the Rev. Mr..
Hare was ''much injured and damni-
fed" and business at the Mt. Olivet
Baptist Church fell of to hat alarm
ing extent where the weekly collection
wouldn't make a respectable Jingle in
the bottom of the plate.
Furthermore, the Rev. Mr.. Hare
seems. according to the papers. to have
lost his hold" On the members of his
congregation. This state is shown not
alone by their failure to come across"
regularly. but through the light regard
In which they only too evidently hold
him.
Mr.. Hare thinks these things consti-
tute $4,000 worth of damage, and
through his attorney, George A. Doug
lass, he intends to get It # the getting's
good.

WAITING
FOR CHAMPAGNE
GANG VOTE PRIZE
Republican Election Workers at
Atlantic City Fail to Is
Get Reward.
Especial to the Newark start

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. ia rcgu-
lar contest of benchmen with a case of
champagne offered as a prize to the
one who would get out the biggest gang
vote for the Republican candidates, Is
the startling tale OF election corruption
today on the records of the special In
vestigating committee.
The narrator Of the tale was Rober
Johnson, secretary OF the Republican,
campaign committee. and one OF the
closest men 10 Commodore Louis
Kuehnle. the local party leader.
YES" said Johnson yesterday, "I Of
fered that champagne as a prize my
self, n IL was to 30 TO the district
worker who showed the best wofk.
through the best getting out OF votes.
NO" johnson continued, In answes.
TO questions, the case of champagne
hasn't been awarded yet. but there
wasn't anything wrong about It; JUS
q prize, and / shall give 1t to the win
ner when / nave round out how the
records stand"
Johnson admitted inflicted resistra-
tion.'' but denied that he had anything
to do with that sort of work.
1t Was hown under the searching
probe that some of the shadow voters%
first registered in vacant lots had been
finally taken to the beach front hotels,
when the chase after them got too hot.
While johnson admitted that other
voters to the number of twenty-eight.
at least, had been taken to negro lodg-
lighthouses from vacant lots.
That attempts were made to bribe
Democratic election officers was also
charged again by a nan who said he
had been offered money to go along"
with the Republican members of the
election board. He declared that he
refused the money.
1t is said that wholesale arrests for
contempt may follow the failure of
numerous witnesses to answer the suni-
mons of the committee.

the pier in C~ommunipaw she mad on

tonators we're on board the boat at
the time of the explos. on.

consider dynamite a dangerous ex-
plosive and that shipments are only
considered large If the company should
get an order for 1000. 900 pounds to he
shipped to the Panama Canal. and
Mr., Morse insisted that there mts
no black powder in the ears 1T

made to unload any Of the dynamite
on the Katherine w. Captain St. john
said he had peer with the Du Pont
company for twenty-eight years.
