COUNCILS APATHY
BLAMED FOR PERIL
TO CITY'S HEALTH
Housing Commission Urges
Relief From Grossly In
sanitary Con ditions S in
Many Sections.

Relief from grossly unsanitary condi-
tions existing in many sections of the
city has again been urged upon Councils
in letter from the Philadelphia Hous-
ing Commission, which asks both the Sc
lect and Common branches of the city
administration to provide adequate funds
for the organization of a Division of
Housing and Sanitation, required by the
act OF Assembly of July %, 1918.
1t is pointed out in the letter that the
apathetlc attitude of Councils concern
ing the welfare of citizens of Philadel-
phia Is responsible for condition which
Is dangerous to public health, and equally
damaging in It's influence upon morals.
Failure to provide necessary inspection
service, according to the Housing Com
mission, has left so per cent. of over $500
reported by the commission to the Bu-
reau of Health unattended to since the
first of last January.
The letter, in part, reads:
I'VE are we'll aware that this matter
has been before you for over a year
now, and although many ordinances re-
lating thereto have been introduced and
considered by your Committee on
Finances and your honorable bodies, yet
no definite action has been taken. Seven
times has his Honor, Mayor Blankenburg,
reqeested you to make appropriation for
this division Six times have communica-
tions from the Department OF Public
Health and Charities been sent to you,
calling attention to the Importance OF
early action. Twice has City Solicitor
Ryan urged upon you the legal obliga-
tion to conform to this act OF Assembly.
The Philadelphia Housing Commission
has forwarded you the opinion of Messrs
Frank +. Prichard and John G. Johnson
that the law is mandatory. Twice have
the courts signified their belief that the
act Is constitutional Thirty social and
phiIanthropIc associations have petit
toned you in behalf of the poor for whom
they are working to make the law op-
erative. What real reason can there be
for further delay?
Furthermore, certain provisions in the
tenement law of 1895. which would be
repealed by the new housing code are
not and never have been thoroughly in
forced. Were this old law OF 1895 inforced
as it stands. 90 per cent. of the tenements
Of this city would have to close. Through
the inactivity of your honorable bodies
this old law Of 1895 still remains on the
statute books, and the city holds the
anomalous position of being a party, and
knowingly so, to the violations of this
law"

CROKER. MINUS BEARD,
ARRIVES IN NEW YORK
Change softens Former Tammany
Chiefs Severe Expression.

NEW YORK, oct 5.--Richsrd Croker,
minus the close-cropped grizzled beard
long familiar in pictures and cartoons, ar
rived here yesterday from Liverpool on
the belated Campania to attend the fu-
neral Of his wife, who died on Septem-
Der 6 in Austria, and whose body was
brought to this country last week from
Naples on the steamship Tommaso di
Savoia.
The absence OF the beard, which he
had worn in fashion distinctly his own,
seemed to soften the severe expression of
the eX-Tammany chiefs face. and the
change jolted for a moment the friends
who went to the pier to greet him \
short white mustache remained on his
lip.
Mr.. Croker greeted the little group
with his customary abrupt handshake and
low-toned words. Throughout the trip
the passengers said he Kept much to
himself, and when he did appear on the
Or in1enade deck he walked alone.
Those who expected Mr.. Croker to say
ANYTHING on the coming retirement OF
charles r. Murphy from Tammany Hall
we're disappointed.
~ shall be in New York about three
weeks" lie continued, "and will he at
the Democratic Club I expect to make
few short trips before going TO Palm
Beach for the winter. have come over
a little earlier than I expected"
Mr.. Croker attended his wife's fu-
neral at 10 a. m. today at the Church
OF st. Tgnatius Loyoa, Sith street and
Park avenue.

Can't Hold The
Good Times Back

Republican calamity howlers
are routed all along the line. They
tried hard to work up a panic for
the campaign. They planned to
ride back into power on the cry
of Democratic Hard Times, but
alas and alackl The republican
bosses have lost control. Hard
times refuse to come at their
bidding. On the contrary, pros
perity is here.
Here is a sample:
F. H. Parsons, cashier Of the
Pacific National bank of Boise,
after reading in Dunn's weekly re-
port of the significant growth of
business confidence in the coun-
try, gave an interview to The
Statesman, the republican stand
pat organ, in which he said that:
during the past two OF three
weeks he felt better over financial
conditions than since last Marcel;
every day he saw indications
which proved conclusively the
period of retrenchment nd hqui-
dtion, uncertinty and hesitancy
was slowly but surely fading into
the past.
In his opinion the placing of
tremendous orders in this country
from the old country could not
help but have a stimulating effect
upon business generally. He cited
one order which was recently
placed in ST. Louis for 10000
barrels of flour. He spoke of an
other which would have a direct
bearing upon this section, and
that was an order for 5000 artil-
lery and cavalry horses given a
Canadian firm, whose agents have
come into this state to partially
fill the order by purchases He
said one of the leading business
men of Portland told him he had
Just made trip through the
wheat belt and found 60 per cent
of this years. crop had been mar
keted and the farmers had re-
ceved their money, with prices
ranging from % to so cents more
this year than last year.
Coming still closer to home Mr..
Parsons said last week IS to 20
families from eastern Utah had
moved into the Grandview and
Bruneau section, had purchased
farms and begun to make ready
for next years crops. More fam
lilies from the same portion Of
Utah were to follow"
