MOVIE MEN ARE
FOR HOKE SMITH

Atlanta, Ga, August 4.-Senator
Hoke Smith has received a unique en-
dorsement, that of the Atlanta Mo-
ton Picture Trades Club. The body
held meeting and voted him its I'M
animous support.
The motion picture industry repre-
sents great deal of wealth and the
best business brains in the country,
which indicates that the business man
is not inclined to look upon the
Hoke Smith policies as destructive.
James B. Nevin, considered one of
the expert political forecasters of the
state, declared over his signature yes
terday that Hoke Smith would win the
primary. He showed that Browns at

An interesting faeture of the race
is the war being made on Joseph M.

AGED TRAMP TELLS HOW HE
LOST FORTUNE OF A MILLION
Twenty Years Ago He Was Promi-
nent in Business, He Declares.

The downfall of once prosperous man
was sadly illustrated today at the goth
and Federal streets police station, when
Charles w. Finnigan, who said he was
one time a millionaire of Canton, o., was
arraigned before Magistrate Briggs on
the charge of vagrancy.
Without shoes, coat or hat Finnlgan,
who is "A years old, was found on a
lot near 9th and Wharton streets by
Policeman Martin. on being awakened
the old man asked that he be allowed
to sleep in peace Whats the use
in waking up?" he asked, with tears in
his eyes, "T have nowhere to CO." But
at the suggestion of the policeman he
went to station house. He was given
a good breakfast and some clothing, and
felt much better after a rest.
Finngan said that he was a prominent
business of Canton 90 years ago and was
worth at one time more than 81, 100000
Then he plunged into politics and the
stock market. This started his financial
ruin. and the subsequent death of his
wife disheartened him completely. The
prisoner said he drifted about until he
landed at Ocean City, He was sent to
the Philadelphia Hospital.

Prisoner Asks Captor to Let

and Makes Clean Get

AS a character-change artist and an
acrobat the police say, Leopold Bruner,
of 252 West Allen street is an expert He
used his ability to good effect today when
arrested by Constable John McCarty, and
as the result Bruner is some where in the
wilds of Jersey, while McCarty has
nothing but the warrant bearing his
name.
Bruner was arrested for annoying a
girl acquaintance, and, although he pro-
tested his innocence. ready agreed to ac-
company McCarty to the office of Magis-
trate Emely. But Bruner was fastidious
regarding dress, and, after surveying
himself In the mirror. asked that he be
permitted to fix himself up before sur
rendering to the law.
The constable sat on a step while
Bruner went upstairs to don his new
fall suit After waiting about two hours,
McCarty called to Bruner. but there was
no reply. The constable went upstairs
There was no trace OF the prisoner.
The condition OF the room showed
Bruner had made what the police term
"a clean getaway" According to a
neighbor. Bruner lighted a cigarette
calmly and then, after lowering himself
on rope from a second-story window,
dropped gracefully to the ground. Then
he busted off his trousers and shoes and
sauntered in the direction OF an ap-
preaching trolley car.
Magistrate Emely. on hearing of the
prisoners escape, told McCarty a few
personal things over the telephone. The
conversation was OF such nature that

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 14-With con-

trolley managers Of the country admitted
before the engineering section of the
Street Railway Association today that
they have lost out in a race with fashion.
The low-entrance car, a single step

women of all ages, whose tight skirts,
some little better than bands about their

which in a big city amounted to many

Yet. Just as the trolley lines OF the

latter had a cargo Of Oil
Shipping circles here We're only mildly
surprised at the reported seizure. Eng
lands representatives here would have
been blind, it was said. had they not
seen the unusual activity i'm the ship
ment of foodstuffs, oil and coal to Scam
dinavian ports IN the last six weeks.
Chartcrings of vessels for these trades
were and are frequent now. but were
rare prior TO the outbreak OF hustilties.
Suspicion was first aroused because the
grain, foodstuffs and oil were shipped in
barrels. This would make it simple to
transfer them to n freight train or a
small Baltic steamship after it reached
Scandinavia.
Tho men responsible for the shipments
from this port are eXonerated from any
blame OF violation of neutrality, AS their
orders are from importers Of Scandinavia.
Customs officials cannot prevent the ship
ments There is nothing in the navga-
tion laws or in the Presidents neutrality
proclamation to authorize them to stop
shipments consigned to neutral ports in
neutral ships.
England realizes this. else she would
have appealed to the State Department to
stop the traffic. Therefore she has taken
the law in her own hands and means to
prevent any such cargoes ever reaching
Germany, If that should be their ultimate
destination.
Her action in the cases of the Beta,
Aquilla and Nicholas Cuneo Is taken as
fnrerunner of what may be expected of
similar cargoes now enrOute to Scandina-
vian ports or to be loaded for such ports.
England controls the entrances of all
Scandinavian ports. She can avoid diplo-
matte complications by buying cargoes
she considers bound TO Germany. but re-

STATIONER WARNS
AGAINST RECKLESS
CUTTING OF PRICES
Secretary of National Asso-
citation Opposes Practice
and Urges Law Permitting
Cooperation in the Trade.

"Indiscrnlinate price cutting is detri-
mental to the consumer and stationers of
the whole country, and steps must be
taken to obtain the enactment by Con-
gress of laws that will enable manufac-
turers to cooperate with dealers in main
tanning legitimate prices" declared Ma
tonal Secretary Mortimer w. Byers at
the third session of the tenth annual
convention of the National Association Of
Stationers and Manufacturers in the
Bellevue-Stratford today.
Mr.. Byers said there were times when
reductions in prices were justifablc, but
he objected to the wild reduction of
prices by some dealers solely for adver-
tising purposes.
AT present the antitrust laws" Mr..
Byers said, prevent the cooperation be-
tween manufacturers and dealers. but
We hope, by working with the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States, 10
have Congress make this cooperation
possible. 1t will surely be, as past ex-
perenceS have shown, of great benefit
to all concerned"
In discussing the effects of the Euro
pean war on stationers' supplies, the AS
sociation agreed that there should be no
increase for prices charged for imported
goods until the present supplies have
been exhausted and the prices of ma
terals increase to them.
The morning session was devoted to
the receiving of reports of committees and
debates continued from yesterday. AS in
the previous meetings cooperation and
standardization We're the principal sub
jectH of discussion.

SALOONS TO STOP
SIDE ATTRACTIONS
BY COURT ORDER
Delaware Judges Decision
Hailed as Victory by
Temperance Party in That
State.

WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 14.-In order
that all questions in reference to the
liquor laws of the State might be made
plain, Chief Justice James Pennewill
handed down today an opinion which is
the most radical one on the subject in
the history of the Delaware courts.
II defines saloon as place to obtain
liquor only. and there must be no effort
OF any kind made to induce people to
patrohlze the place. 1t is regarded as a
dlstlnct victory for the temperance peoDle
"hile the liquor dealers appear to re-
eard It as rather strict Interpretation
ol the law tney are glad that the court
ti .ias outiihed what constitutes a viola
ton of the law.
Chief Justice Pennewill holds that tbe
portion of the law forbidding the use of a
screen 10 obstruct the view of a bar must
oe observed and there must be a plajn
instead OF partial view of the bar
ihere must be no private rooms for
urlhhihs and no private or secret en-
nsneSs, t, as such entrances can only be
intended to violate the law or are for the
use of persons who are ashamed to enter
a saloon openly
Nhlle an intoxicated man coming ont
OF saloon may not be legal evidence
that he got liquor when he was already
or bought II In the place from
winch he is coming, the PRESUMPTION
is mat he did, and the safe plan for tbe
ssaloonkeeper is to order such a man from
MS premises and see that he goes at once
A minor has no business about a saloon
snd si the saloonkeeper should not only re-
iuse 10 sell to him, but eject him.
While the law does not say thai two
or more liquor licenses shall not have tba
same sisners, the law does not contem-
piate that the same man shall sign more
thah one liquor license application In a
year 1t has been tho custom for the
same persons to sign various applications
Keeping disorderly house is a cause
Lor forfeiting or refusing a license. Under
me law allowing pool, cards or other
games TO be played for drinks In a bar

aeriy houses, Music or other entertain

PENROCE WORKERS
SOUGHT TO DEPRIVE
I ARTIST OF BALLOT
Proof Given Registration
Commissioners That Man S
Name Was Twice Crossed
of Assessors S List.

Efforts Of Penrose supporters to pre-
vent Jesse Anderson, an artist, 1890 Lo-
Gust street, from getting on the tegistra-
ton list proved futile today, when the
Registration Commissioners at City Hall
learned the real facts. 1t was shown that
Registrars Mccarthy and Watts, two
workers, refused to register Anderson on
the ground that he had not lived long
enough in the division In which lives Sem
ator Penrose
Frederick s. Drake, counsel for Ander-
son, then proved that the applicants
name had been on the assessors list
twice and crossed off. This was proof
enough for the Commissioners and An
dersons name was placed on the regis
tration list
In hope that he would have opportunity
to vote against Penroseism, Myer
Knocker 50 years old. 1641 North Tth
street got out of bed against the advice
of his physician and sought to have his
name placed on the list. The old man
said he had been struck by a car at
9th and Market streets and was prevented
from registering on any of the regular
days. His application was refused because
he had no tax receipt.
Knocker was greatly disheartened be-
cause of losing his vote. He said he
had voted ever since the time of Lincoln
and wanted TO cast at least one vote
against Penroseism.
Although he did not leave his division,
the application of Samuel Lasting was
refused because he moved from 1923 South
9th street to sol Cross street. Both ad-
dresses are in the same division of the
list Ward.
George w. Hanline, of 1923 Powelton
avenue, was refused permission to reg
lister because his property tax was in the
name of his wife, who died two years
ago.
