Can any puerile. peace-talking

So queried the Colonel as he turned

The PENNSYLVANIA building was the

Exposition officials are commenting
on the fact that since the Liberty Bell

Senator Gives Out Statement Hold

Qualified For Office

Philadelphia, Pa, July %. - Inter
est in the situation with reference to
the next candidate for the Republican
nomination for Mayor of Philadelphia
was heightened to-day when State
Senator Edwin II. Ware issued a state
ment in which he gave the reasons he
advanced at the recent mayoralty con-
ference in Atlantic City why his
brother, Congressman William 5. Ware,
should be considered as a candidate.
Senator Ware enumerated all the
various interests he saic were allied
against his brother four years ago
when he was a candidate for the
these interests are now for the Con-
gressman's nomination. Continuing he
said:
II assured those at the meeting that
the name of William S. Ware as a can
didate for mayor, would be a full
guarantee that every efncient city en-
'ploye of the four thousand who were
dismissed under various pretexts, in
the last four years. would feel certain
of reinstatement.
TT would seem that with all the big
improvements that are contemplated
under the next mayor, is that honesty.
thorough knowledge of contracts and
contractors, and familiarity with
public men and needed improvements,
are the main qualifications for the
office
The recent conference in Atlantic
City. attended by Philadelphia Re-
publican leaders, considered more than
fifty persons for. the nomination and
eliminated all but eight. 1t was an
nounced at the time that the leaders
were seeking a candidate who would
have the support of all elements with

STRIKERS QUIET At
STANDARD OIL PLANT
Sheriff Warns Men First Man Who
Shoots VIII Be
Arrested
PAYDAY DELAYED A WEEK
Fear of Clash Keeps Employees
Away From Works of
Company
PAYDAY DELAYED A WEEK
BY Associated Press

New York. July 23.-Comparative
quiet in marked contrast to the three
previous days of the week prevailed
in the Constable Hook section of Bay
onne, n. j., to-day around the plants
of the Standard Oil Company and the
Tidewater Oil Company. which have
been closed because of a strike of
1000 men in the Standard Oil Works
and the resultant disorder whereby
three men were killed and scores in
jured.
Crowds gathered as usual in the
streets leading to the works to dis
cuss the situation but no threatening
move was made. Desultory firing oc-
CURED during the night but the police
said this was chiefly due to some false
alarm among the watchful guards.
Sheriff Kinkead and Commissioner of
Public Safety Henry Wilson said to-
day they believed the situation was
we'll in hand and that there would be
no need of troops.
Two events set for to-day caused
the authorities some uneasiness, how
ever, and they kept a strong force of
police and deputy sheriffs on duty.
One of these was the funeral of the
first victim of the riots, John Stran-
chik. Some of the leaders wanted a
public funeral with music and oratory
but the authorities forbade this. A
church service conducted by the regu-
lar clergymen of the vicinity and a
procession, it was declared, would not
be interfered with, but speeches were
barred.
The other matter to cause uneasi-
ness is the fact that this is payday al
the works and 1t was thought some
of the men might go there to collect
wages and their approach might in
cite shooting and disorder. Sheriff
Kinkead, in order to avoid possibility
of trouble, asked the strikers COM
Inittee to defer their payday for a
week and said that If any of the men
were in distress and needed their
wages, he would personally try to col
lect the money. The committeeman
Ss4id they would present the sheriff s
Siew to the men.
Sheriff Kinkead invited the strik-
ers committee, which is headed by
jeremiah j. Daily, to police headcuar-
ters and besides discussing the pay
proposition asked them to strongly
counsel the men to avoid further dis
order. He appealed to them, for the
sake of homes and families, to keep
men off the streets. He said he believ-
ed the strike could be settled without
further bloodshed and he asked for
their hearty cooperation, which was
promised.
II want to warn the strikers
through you, as their committee" he
concluded, what l have instructed my
deputies to arrest the first man who
fires a shot"

LAND In TRIP0LI

The strength of the outlying defenses
of Warsaw appears to have checked
for the time at least the impetuosity
of the Teutonic drive upon the Polish
capital.
Driven back upon the fortress. of
" yangorod, to the southeast of the city,
the Russian line still is maintained at
that point, so far as the latest official
reports show. It is wavering along
the curving< front extending northwest
around the city, Berlin claims, but has
not yet been broken, while from the
fortress of Novo Georgievsk, along the
line of the Narew to the north, the
Russians are battling desperately
against the surging German line.
To the southeast the great armies
of Field Marshal Won Mackcnsen are
still engaged in a mighty thrust for the
strategic Lublin- Chelm railroad line.
Both official and unofficial accounts
agree that the fighting here Is des-
been decided.
On nearly all the other fronts the
Russians, while fighting hard, are fall
ing back, statements from the various
capitals of the belligerents indicate.
Dispatches to Berlin newspapers de-
clare the capture of LubIin and Chelm
IS considered only question of brief
time.
