CARR TAKES HELM
FOR INDEPENDENTS
MAY Be CANDIDATE
Manager Of Blankenburs
Campaign Mentioned by
Washington Party Leaders
as Mayoralty Possibility.

George wentworth Carr has started 4
movement to unite all Of the independent
forces In Philadelphia for the fight
against the Republican Organization in
the municipal election to be held next
year, and as result he is the latest
candidate being doomed as a mayoralty
possibility
During the last three days Mr. Carr
has held conferences with B. A. Van
Valkenburg and other Washington party
leaders. The differences that have existed
between some Of these leaders for two
years are being adjusted. and inde-
pendent leaders said today that perfecs
harmony will prevail in the coming fight.
AS result OF these conferences, tho
roins have been placed in Mr. Carr's
hands, according to independent leaders,
and he will be in command Of the inds-
pendent forces in the fight.
The boom to make him the candidate
OF the Independents was started immes
diately after the conferences. when word
was passed among the Independent lead>
ers that he is to be considered by them
when they sound out the sentiment among
their constituents. Others who have been
mentioned for the independent nominations
include Directors Porter. Norris and
Cooke.
WANT STRONG CANDIDATE. 3
There is also a strong possibility that
the Independents will back dark horses
for the race against the Republican orr
ganization's candidate, II man whom
the Washington party and other leaders,
consider stronger than Carr or any OF
the other possibilities who have so fan
been mentioned can be found.
Mr.. Carr himself, said independents
leaders today, had neither declined nor
consented to become n candidate. When
he was approached on the subject, they
said, he announced that his efforts are
now being directed toward uniting all
Of the independent voters In Philadel-
phia, in order to give the Republican
Organization a strenuous fight
In his efforts to unite the opposition
to the Republican Organization, Mr..
Carr is trying to muster the WashinR-
ton party strength to where It was two
years ago by combining all OF the voters
who oppose the Republican Organiza-
tion. He is counting upon little or no
help from the ranks of the Keystone
party, said independent leaders today.
GIBBoNEY MAY RUN.
In this connection, 1t was pointed out
that D. Clarence GIbboney, the Keystone
leader, is another Mayoralty possibility
BY running as the Keystone candidates.
it was pointed out, Gibboney would poll
virtually the full Keystone strength. and
would hold any possible balance OF power
in the antl-Republican ranks.
Gibboney has also been mentioned as
a possible candidate of the Republican
Organization. An official OF the Retail
Liquor Dealers Association said last
night the liquor interests would favor the
Keystone leader, because of his plan to
have the State and city purchase the
business of the liquor men should they
be put out Of business through legisla-
ton. The liquor interests, Republican
Organization lieutenants said. will have
a strong voice in naming the Republican,
candidate for Mayor.

ISOLATION has continued almost uninter-

The Burleson girls are looking forward

Of teaching Jane Gregory the ropes OF

when she came to Washington an abSo-
lue stranger at the beginning of the pres

acquaintance with Washington would

Really, SO far as Mrs. Gregory is con-
cerned, she will fall very readily into
her position. She was in Washington a

ties OF official etiquette. She was at the
Dewey with her youngest, little Miss Cor
nelia. an endearing young person of eight
or nine years, who tyrannized over guests
and employees alike at the hotel, and her
mother says was in serious danger of
being spoiled there. There are prob
ably quite few persons in Washington
today who hate themselves for neglecting
the opportunity of cultivatIng Mrs. Greg
ory then. But her husband, being merely
one of Mr.. McReynold's trust busters.

out of their way to be civil TO her. And

MRS.THoMAS FREER OUTSIDE
SUFFRAGE WORK, SHE SAYS
Plans to Continue Agitation for
Unemployed.


Mrs. j. d. Thomas, who resigned from
the presidency of the Woman Suffrage
Society after sharply criticising the al
legged failure of Mayor Blankenburg and
City Council to provide funds for the re-
lief of the clty's unemployed, will con-
tlnue Independently her suffrage work
and her efforts to help the unemployed,
according to n statement from her today.
At the time Mrs. Thomas handed her
resignation to the society. she also re-
signed from all other suffrage organiza-
tions of which she was member.
"I took the action voluntarily" said
Mrs. Thomas, because 1 found IL difficult
and sometimes embarrassing to speak as
the president of the society on the one
hand and on the other as an individual.
] sent in my resignation voluntarily, ex-
pecting 1t to be accepted. In the accept
ance of the resignation I find myself more
free to work along lines where l think
I can help. Although 1 am no longer
affiliated with suffrage organizations. 1
am Just as staunch a suffraglst as ever,
and shall continue to do whatever l feel
capable of doing"
Mrs. Thomas said further that. although
she is not officially connected with suf-
frage work, she expects her friends both
in and out of suffrage ranks to aid her.
She intimated that the incident of her
criticism of the Mayor and city officials
for the plight of the unemployed would
not deter her from further efforts In be-
half of the men who lack employment.
'I have no quarrel with any one," she
said. Whatever criticism ! make or have
made is entirely constructive.
"a critical condition exists now In the
large number of men who have no work.
There should be funds for their relief. I
shall appeal and shall ask my friends to
appeal to the city administration to lay
aside minor considerations and aid in this
emergency.
"The question is, IL there is no fund for
the help of the unemployed. is 1t not pos
sible to create such fund? There GER
tainly should be some means of raising
money to cope with an emergency like
that now confronting us. I know that we
all want city beautiful-beautiful parks
and beautiful streets-but first we must
have well-fed men,"

LABOR LEADERS DEPLoRE
ADVANCE OF MIBITARIsM

I am emphatically and uncompro-
mlslngly opposed TO any scheme to
enlarge the United states army and
navy. ] stand by the report OF the
executive council Of the American
Federation OF Labor and reiterate the
opinion that those who wish 10 abolish
war must lose no opprtunity to impart
the ethics Of humanity, and to make
the sacredness OF human life a part
Of the thought and action Of the
nation.
SAMUEL GOMPERs,
President, American Federation OF
Labor.
1t would prove serious mistake to
continue to improve the military es-
tablishment. we now see constant
arming for war In Europe has pre-
clpitated the greatest conflict OF all
ages, a catastrophe that will perhaps
require centuries to recover from. II
stands to reason where man loads
himself up with revolvers, dirks and
other murderous instruments he Is
bound to get in trouble. II is just so
with nations.

First Vice President, American Fedora
tion Of Labor.
/ believe an attempt Is to be made
at the opening session OF Congress to
create n larger army and navy. In
fact, I saw letter sent out to subordl-
mates by a high Governmental official

is wrong, reactionary. burdensome and
at variance with civilized society.

NEW CABINET LADY THIRD
TO HAIL FROM AUSTIN, TEX
Mrs. Gregory, Wife of Attorney General Busy
House Hunting With Her Daughter-Tries
To Be Unknown Little While Longer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13-There's a
brand new Cabinet lady come to town
a very good looking Cabinet lady. with an
equally good looking daughter just out
Of college and ready to make her debut:
and, what's more. she's the third Of the
present group Of Cabinet hostesses to
come from Texas-yea, even from little
old Austin. What wonder II Austin is
wearing the satisfied smile of one, who,
after long neglect. Is at last being ap-
preciated at her true worth?
Mrs. Thomas Gregory, who was spend
ing the summer at Blue Ridge Summit
with her children at the time of her hus-
bands appointment as Attorney General
(vlce McReynolds. promoted to the Su-
preme Bench) is in Washington house
hunting. When woman with a daugh-
ter of "debuting" age is known to be
ton naturally conjures up visions of gal
house-hunting in Washington, Washing
ETY. for the younger set. And when n
new Cabinet woman comes to town, all
WASHINGTON, more or less, wants to meet
her But meeting Mrs. Gregory Just now
is not so easy as those who met her
last winter might expect.
No, indeed 1t hasn't gone to her head,
or anything like that Only she's ter
ribly busy. Almost with tears I'm her
eyes she pleads, Just let me get roof
over my head and few clothes to my
back, and then I'll be delighted" She
fancied she was \traveling incog, or some
thing of that Sort when, instead Of
going back to the Dewey, where she
spent a coed deal OF last winter. she
established herself at a sort of subli-
mated boarding house out. on G street.
But there isn't boarding house in Wash
ington that can serve as bushel to hide
the light of a new Cabinet lady!
HER DAUGHTER VERY POPULAR.
Mrs. Gregory promises to be a distinct
addition to the always exclusive little
group of Cabinet hostesses, She is rather
short, but decidedly graceful, has good
features and lovely coloring, with deep
violet eyes and a quantity OF very dark
hair. Her daughter. Miss Jane Gregory,
who graduated from the University OF
Texas last June, Is exactly like her
mother, and when she enters the lists
some of the most promising OF the sea-
sons debutantes will have to look to
their laurels, In college her popularity
is attested by the fact that she was
chosen Lady OF the University" by vote
of the student body, an honor to which
neither scholarship nor personality alone
can attain. II argues both.
1t seems rather out of proportion that
three OF the ten Cabinet women should
have been born in Austin Not only were
they born there. but Adele Steiner, now
Mrs BurlesOn; Helen Beall, now Mrs.
Houston, and Julia Male, now Mrs.
Gregory, really grew up together and
were closely associated during their girl
hood in the little Texas capital. Between

NEGRO, ALLEGED GEM THIEF,
GIVES BATTLE TO POLICE
Two Officers Injured in Attempt to
Subdue Fugitive.

A Negro accused of robbing three
Icwelry stores within n half hour early
today put up a terrific fight with two
policemen. chewing the hand OF one and
severely bruising the other by hitting
him over the head with brick wrapped
in a bag. The man gave his name as
John Perkins and said he lived near I'D
and Lombard streets.
Perkins was held without bail by Mag
lstrate Harrigan at the Sd and De
Lancey streets station. He was captured
by Policemen Kelly and Jones at 9TH and
Spruce streets. Kelly said he caught the
man robbing one Of the windows. The
prisoners pockets were filled with
watches and jewelry, he said
The policemen say Perkins, armed with
Brick wrapped In a -four sack and a
diamond tipped glass cutter, first visited
the store of Isaac Goldberg. at 30 South
9Th street There he scratched and broke
a piece from the plate glass window and,
reaching inside, took as many watches
and scarfpins as he could gather. The
next store visited the police say, was
that OF IsadOre Putsten. OF 6T South
street. Apparently he did not stop to use
the glass cutter here. A big hole was
smashed in the window.
Putsten missed four gold watches and
two gold trophy cups when he opened
the store a few hours later. Perkins
next stop was at 523 South street,
jeWelry store owned by Isaac Bogdanon.
Patrolman Kelly had just turned the
corner at 5th street when Perkins began
works on the plate glass window. Kelly
crept up as close as possible, he said,
and watched Perkins with the glass cut
ter, scratch out large circle on 1.-THE
window. Then Perkins raped the glass
with the padded brick and the glass fell
in He reached in and Withdrew several
watches.
Kelly started forward. but Perkins saw
him and set Off northward. Kelly fol-
lowed firing his revolver In the air. At
5th and Spruce streets Perkins slowed
down and waited for the patrolman A
furious night followed.
Perkins tore Kelly's fingers to the
bone with his teeth. Then Patrloman
Young. OF the Sd and De Laneey streets
station, ran up and tried to help Kelly.
Perkins waited for chance and swung
the padded brick against Young's head.
Young's face was badly cut. Finally the
Negro gave in and went TO the police
station. The two patrolmsn were treated
at the Pennsylvania Hospital
