SAFETY" THE TEXT
OF EARNEST PLEAS
AT MASS MEETING
Educational Campaign Pre-
liminary to Carnival Which
Begins Tomorrow Night
Has Enlisted Public Inter
est.

With the preliminary educational cam
paign of Safety First" week nearly over,
the city Is now awaiting with great in
terest the opening Of the convention and
carnival proper tomorrow night at Con-
vention Hall, Broad street and Allegheny
avenue. The educational campaign was
brought to climax last night by a
large mass meeting in the ballroom of
the Bellevue-Stratford, under the aus
pices of the Home and School League.
Officials of the league expressed great
satisfaction today in the interest dis
played in Safety Week." not only by
the public at large but by the railroads.
the Rapid Transit Company and other
large employers of labor who are earn
estly trying to solve the problem of in
dustrial accidents, most of which are
preventabie.
The problem of accidents and safety in
general was brought into strong relief at
the meeting last night when Franklin II.
Wentworth of Boston, shocked the audi
ence by bringing out the general admis-
sion that few of those present knew where
the nearest fire box to their homes was or
how to give an alarm. Mr.. Wentworth
said that the great majority OF fires in
this country were caused by the careless
use of matches. Americans he said, were
the most careless people in the world
in dealing with matches. The result of
this carelessness, Mr.. Wentworth said,
is the great number of fires accompanied
by loss of life.
Director Porter told OF what is being
done by the Department of Public Safety
to protect the lives and property of the
citizens of Philadelphia. Director Porter
spoke of the many improvements In traffic
regulations, which, he said have reduced
the number of street accidents to a large
extent, and to the fact that the theatres
of the city have been compelled to spend
$780, 900 In insuring greater safety. Mr..
Porter. although he gave great praise to
the efficiency of Philadelphia's firefighters.
said the equipment of the Fire Depart
ment in this city needed Improvement
He spoke of the defective engines held
in reserve OF antiquated fire boxes In
many parts of the city and of the de-
fective fire hose which firemen are COM
PEELED to use.
Mrs. Joseph r. Wilson. head of the
committee in charge OF the weeks pro-
gram, made an appeal for greater care
in the prevention OF accidents and dis
ease due to carelessness. She said that
while the Government, city State and
had its duty to perform in this
regard, 1t was up to the people to do
their share in exercising greater care
and judgment in their homes, in their
places of employment and In the street. |

WIFE IN COLLUSION,
SAYS DITSON, TO GET
DIVORCE EVIDENCE
Wealthy Clubman's Answer
Disregarded by Court,
Who Awards Alimony
and Counsel Fees.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Under a ruling
handed down by Justice Jaycox, Of the
Supreme Court, in Brooklyn, Mrs. Esther
Ditson, OF Cedarhurst, l.. l., wife OF
James Ditson, q wealthy clubman Of
New York and Washington, has been
granted $3.50 a month alimony and $1,000
counsel fees pending final settlement of
her divorce suit. The order was granted
despite Ditson's affidavit alleging that It
was arranged between him and his wife
that he would enter a hotel with a woman
and give evidence upon which to base
divorce suit.
Diston spends much of his time In ex-
elusive social circles in Washington and
is frequent visitor to Philadelphia He
Is a member of the Chevy Chase and
Metropolitan Clubs. of Washington. and
is heir under the will Of his millionaire
grandfather, oliver Diston, Of Washing
ton. He is a nephew of Charles II. Dis
ton, music publisher Of No. East 34th

red in 1909. Mrs. Diston first heard the
stories that induced her to watch her
"ncH tuty Noio, hNihS III W or''i-
ington.
Diston's afiidavit, admitting collusion
with the alleged knowledge and consent
Of Mrs. Diston, came unexpectedly in
answer to her divorce suit. In his affl-
davit he said It was arranged between
himself and his wife that he would pro-
vide the necessary evidence.
He says that when Mrs. Dftson's de-
tectives entered the room in York hotel
here one evening last May and found him
with a woUan. even the detectives were
ignorant OF the plot known only to him
self and wife. So secret did he keep the
facts in the case. Ditson swears, that he
did not inform his lawyer Gilbert L. Roe.
and permitted him to put in an unVerified
answer denying Mrs Ditsons charges.
Roe told Justice Jaycox that he was
unable to say whether or not collusion
would be used as a defense In the suit.
Roe added he had advised Ditson Of his
intention to withdraw from the case.
Counsel for Mrs. Ditson asked permis-
sion to file an affidavit denying there had
been collusion.
