ARGENTINE SAILORS
ON BOARD U. S. SHIPS
Crew of Moreno CHARTERED on Indiana
and Massachusetts,.

Sailors of the Argentine Republic, who
were sent here to man tho battleshlp
Moreno now being completed at the New
York Shipbuilding Company, were happy
today in their new quarters on board the
battleshps Indiana and Massachusetts, ut
the Philadelphia Navy Yard. This is tho
first time that foreign sailors have been
quartered on United States battleships. 1t
was made possible through the courtesy
of the State and Navy Department to the
Argentine Minister.
The transfer of the sailors from the
transports Chaco and Pampas to the
navy yard started a rumor that the New
York Shipbuilding Company was having
difficulties with the Argentine Govern
ment regarding the payment for the war
ship. This is Indignantly denied by Of
ficIals of the shipyard. They declare THAI
the Argentine Government was anxious TO
move the transports for the loading of
cargoes of freight and as the interior of
the Moreno was not completed, II was not
possible to shelter the sailors there. Ths
vessel, they said, will be ready for de-
livery In about two weeks.
This reported trouble between the New
York Shipbuilding Company and the Ar
gentine Republic over the battleship
Moreno is all rot" exclaimed an official
of the shipyard this morning. 1.-The ves-
sci will be ready for delivery in about
two weeks and will leave for South Amer
lea. The fact that the Argentine Govern
ment desired to move the transports. the
subsequent transfer of the sailors to the
Philadelphia Navy Yard and our unpre-
paredness for the housing of the men on
board the Moreno are responsible for the
wild rumors that we would not give up
the ship until the Sl,SO0,O00 additional
costs for extras has been paid"
Samuel NJ, Knox. president of the COM
pany, corroborated these statements He
said that there would be no difficulty
over the payment for the ship. The fact
that the contract for the vessel had been
sublet from the Fore River Shipbuilding
Company. he said. was not a secret, as it
was announced two years ago and had
been published upon a dozen occasions
since then.

MAYOR NOT READY TO oBL1ar
Going to Disappoint Politicians Who
Expect Him to Die in Office.

Mayor Blankenburg says that IL leaders
of tho Republican Organization expect
him to die before his term of office ex-
pires he is going to disappoint them.
That was his comment on the bill before
the Legislature at Harrisburg that would
allow Councils to choose Mayor in
case of n vacancy during q term, in
stead OF permitting thes Director of the
Department OF Public Safety to succeed
to the office as under present laws.
"What the bill means and why 1t was
introduced the citizens of Philadelphia
can judge for themselves said the
Mayor. Neither the Director of Public
Safety nor the Director of Public Works,
nor any of the other departmental Direc
tors would suit the Republican organi-
zation as my successor, but am no.
going to oblige them by dying"

COMMITTEE GIVES $36, 900

Thlrty-siN thousand dollars was thrown
Into the breach between unemployed Phil
adelphians and the necessities of life to-
day by the Citizens Permanent Relief

inittee declared the $4,000 collected to

from those who have for those who have
not.
The specific stipulation was made by
the committee in making division of the

for the overhead or other expenses OF
the charities to which is intrusted the
WORK OF distribution. In other words
assurance is required of each charity be-

GIRLFORCED TO WED,
HER FATHER HOPES
HUSBAND WILL DIE
Boardwalk Romance Led to
Unhappy Marriage and
Man Is Dying of Poison
Self-Administered.

THE poor Judgment that most girls
show in the men that they allow to see
them and the men that they marry. to-
gether with the rascallty which somo fell
lows manage to wear under the mask OF
suave and fascinating manner, Is re-
sponslble for my daughters predicament
today"
Brokenly and dejectedly and showing the
traces of the terrible strain under which
he has been working for the last months,
John b. Wright, the gray-halred father
OF Mrs. Frenk Il. Handley, told the story
this morning OF his daughters tragic
marriage which reached It's climax al
City Hall last night when Frank Handley
arrested on the charge of threatening his
wife's life after he had forced her TO
marry him took enough poison to Kill
several men, because he said she would
have nothing to do with him.
Tho man who lies at Hahnemann Hos
pital and who is my daughters husband
though in name only" said he grimly,
has no more love for her than n stone
wall. Long before she married him and
ever since then-it took place last Oc-
tober-he has been bounding her day and
night for money.
Not a minutes peace has she had. My
daughter has n good position downtown
and he has been importuning her at her
office to such an extent that her means
of livelihood was imperiled. He has come
to our house and have had to kick him
out. Once he said that II the girl would
give him enough money to take him to
South America he would cease his annoy
ance. Like a foolish girl, half hypnotized.
she gave 1t to him, but he only became
insatiate for more.
'I did not know of this in the Begin
ming, but finally his threats became sc
alarming that the girl was almost pros
trated. / then became aware of what
was going on, and we decided that the
only thing to do was to have him ar
rested.
TT was simply another one of those
Atlantic City romances. My daughter
met the fellow at the shore, and despite
the fact that such a type as he would
be repulsive to men, he exerted curious
influence over women. Women don't SEE
through men like that, and, though she
got over her infatuatlon, my daughter
was afraid not to marry him when ht
threatened to kill her and to use hlI
influence to make me lose my position.
"It would be good thing II he died
I buried my wife n little while ago anC
/ feel sure that our daughters troubl,
with this man helped TO hasten her end.
At the Hahnemann Hospital. Doctor
Ryan, in charge of Handley, said that the
man had taken 15 grains of. bichloride
and intimated that the chances of hi
recovery were slim.
