When asked for statement with
reference to the alleged strike in the
Monarch Pittsburg this morning, Su-
perintendent Branch Smith said:
Yes. we have had some splendid
asasys from the big vein which we
encountered a few weeks since in
the 850-foot south crosscut, but mas
much as we have not had time to
perform sufficient development 10
ascertain the size of the shoot, we
are reluctant as well as unable to
give out any details. No one can
guarantee anything in this mining
game. We have 1t today, but may
shoot Il out tomorrow OF course.
the present indications are such that
we do not think ye are going to shoot
II out, but we may. One hundred
feet of development in this district
can sometimes upset the calculations
of our most eminent geologists, and
hence development Is the only true
barometer. As to whether or not we
have the extension of the Murray
vein. we hope we have. and the as
says indicate that 1t Is. but 1t may
not be. 1t may be an entirely new
vein. or an extension of the Egyptian
vein In the Tonopah Extension mine.

TUNNEL COMPLETED
At COST OF s6,O00,OOO
INDICATES DETERMINATION OF
GERMANY TO HOLD RICH
MINING TERRITORY

PARIS, Feb, 20.--The Frankfurter
Zeitung reports that the Germans
have pierced the hills from Joeuf in
French territory to Moyeuvre-la-
Grand in Lorraine to facilitate com
munications. The tunnel has been
completed in two years work and
cost $6,000,000 This tunnel was long
ago proposed by miners and manufac-
turers in the iron mining district of
the valley of Briey, but opposed by
the government for stragetical rea-
sons. The execution of the work by
the Germans is taken as indicating
determination on their part to hold
this rich mining country at all haz-
ards.

GUNNERE ACCUSED OF
FAVORING INTERESTS
New Jersey Senator Asks Gov
ernor Not to Reappoint Su-
preme Court Justice.

Charges that the Public Service Corpo-
ration and "other privileged interests" are
actively backing Chief Justice Gummere,
Of the New Jersey Supreme Court, are
made I'm a letter which was sent TO Gov
ernor Fielder, of New Jersey, today, pro-
testing against the reappolntment of Jus.
tice Gummere, by Senator Charles O'Con-
nor Hennessy, of Bergen County. He as
serts that the Justices career from the
time he left the employ of the Pennsyl.
Vania Railroad has been always in favor
of property rights"
Mr.. Hennessy lays emphasis on the fact
that he raises no question of the integ-
rity of Justice Gummere, but declares
that mo one can fail to note his bias
for privileged interests and the significant
and invariable consistency with which he
leans to the side of so-called property
rights when they conflict with human
rights.
His support of the late remarkable
decision in the 90-cent gas case. which. IL
sustained would effectively destroy the
power to regulate the service rates of
public utilities, is late evidence of his
bent of mind. His famous decision dur
ing his early service on the bench that
the life of a child, killed by trolley car
In Jersey City, could not be valued by the
jury at more than six cents, may have
accorded with a brutal legallsm, as is
alleged by his defenders, but / cannot
find this or any other excuse for the en-
traordinary part which he took on two
notable occasions in Newark according
to statements made to me by responsible
citizens), in protecting the Public Service
Corporation against the just consequences
OF its criminal neglect of duty
Mr.. Hennessy describes the Clifton ave-
nue. tragedy II years ago, when eight girls
and a boy on their way to school lost
their lives and many others were crippled
by colllstion between n trolley car in
which they were riding and a Lacka-
wanna train
at is known that the Grand jury
sought to bring individual indictments
against the directors of the corporation" ("
lie says, land that Judge Gummere sent
for the Grand Jury and made a long argu-
ment TO them against indictments. An
indictment was, nevertheless, found
against four men OF great wealth. who
were at that time the executive committee
OF the trolley company. one of these
men was, | believe, the president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which
had formerly employed Mr.. Gummere
When they came to trial for man
slaughter some months later, Justice
Gummere directed the jury to acquit these
men"

COUNCLMEN DEFY
HOUSING MANDAMUS
Order for Organization of New
Division Does Not Perturb
City Fathers.

Members of Councils are not greatly
perturbed today over the possibility Of
their being held in contempt of court,
for ignoring the mandamus issued one
month ago by Common Pleas Court No. .,
to compel the establishment of the
municipal division of housing and sani-
tatfon under the act of 1913. The writ of
mandamus expires today
Nothing was done. however, in the mat
ter today at city Hall. John II. Fow,
attorney for the tenement house owners,
who obtained an extension OF the manda-
mus 30 days ago, conferred with Judge
Martin in Common Pleas Court No. o.
but did not make application for a fur
ther extension. Assistant City Solicitor
Lowengrund said that some action might
be taken later In the day.
The Councilmen are complacent and
confident that one of n number of chances
will turn up to relieve them of any possi-
blity of arrest on contempt charge
The main chance upon which they de-
pend is that the court will grant them
another extension of time that will over
come the embarrassment occasioned by
Governor Brumbaugh's refusal to take
official cognizance of the "toothless'' hous-
ing measure before n public hearing is
given opponents of the bill.
Councllmen point out that there is little
likelihood of their being held, collectively
or individually, responsible for inactivity
on the housing matter, that the act of
1918 desgnates only the presidents of the
two chambers of Councils and that they
only could be held responsible. Further,
it is asserted that new members Of
Councils have been elected since the hous-
ing measures were passed by the Legis-
lature and that they could not be held
responsible.
Governor Brumbaugh has announced
that hearings on the pending repeater
bills may be held on Thursday or Friday
of this week. Advocates of housing re-
forms in Philadelphia Scongested Sec
tions will then appear at Harrisburg to
urge the veto of the pending measures

PLAN TO MAKE JULY
CELEBRATION GENERAL
Declaration of independence to
Be Read in Every U. S. City,
Is New Idea.

The Declaration OF independence will
be read in every city In the United States
at the same time next July 4, IL nation
wide cooperation can be obtained, This
will be one of the striking features in
connection with the national celebration
of Independence Day in Philadelphia
Numerous citizens who will take a
prominent part in the big event have
suggested that when the famous docu-
ment is read during the ceremonies at
Independence Hall patriotic citizens at
similar exercises in other cities read II
at the same time.
Thus the same message would go forth
as in 1176 declaring for n united and in
dependent country, while other countries
throughout the world are in the midst of
strife.
Among other historical organizations to
be invited will be the Descendants of the
Signers OF the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. II Is the hope of those who
are taking an active part in the arrange
ments to have the youngest descendant
read the Declaration in the shadow OF the
Liberty Bell.
A formal invitation to the organization
will be extended Immediately after the
meeting of the Citizens Committee this
week.
In order that harmony may prevail all
citizens who are interested In the cele-
bration, which also will commemorate the
fiftieth anniversary of the closing of the
Civil War, will he invited to attend
Daily promises of cooperation from
business men arc being received. Among
other organizations which promised today
to aid in making the event success Is
the United Business Mems Association.
Members of this body co-operated In
every way last year in making the first
national celebration OF July 4 In this
city n success William Hancock, presi-
dent of the organization, said the asso-
citation can be depended on this year to
do the same
Senator Ware declared there is every
indication that the Legislature viii! favor
the celebration.
81 think Philadelphia should be the
place for permanent national celebration
of the Fourth of July" he said. "and
this should be borne in mind by those
working for the one this year. No culogy
from me is required, as every American
knows there is no other spot in the coun-
try deserving the event more"

GIRL DYING AFTER
ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE
Inmate of Court Aid Society
Falls to Ground When Rope
Breaks.

An attempted escape from the detention
ward of the Court Aid Society, at 1904
Summer street, early this morning may
prove fatal to May Gilmore, 20 years old,
of 1885 South 3lst street. The girl at
tempted to lower herself from a second
story window by a rope made of bed
clothing. She fell nearly the entire dis
tance and fractured her skull.
The girl went to bed with the other
inmates last night, and while the rest
of the inmates were asleep she slipped
quietly from the dormitory, taking her
sheets and blankets, which she fashioned
into a rope. She fastened the line to
the shutter of a sccond-story window and
attempted to lower herself to the ground.
The rope broke, and she fell. A watch
man making his rounds found the girl
lying unconscious in the court yard. she
was removed to the Hahnemann Hos
pltal, where it was said she will prob
ably die.

DIR. RICHMOND LEAVES CITY

Additional complications in the tangled
affairs of the Rev. George Chalmers
Richmond and his opponents among the
membership of st. Johns Episcopal
Church, are expected today when an at
tempt will be made to elect vestryman.
Doctor Richmond said last night there
would be no election, as he would be
out of the city on visit to parishioner.
Judge Ferguson last week ordered the
election to take place today, but Doctor
Richmond denied that his leaving the city
would be an evasion of the law. The
courts have ordered that the vestrymen
of the church refrain from contributing
church funds to pay for the rector's
defense. Some of his parlshioners evaded
this yesterday by voluntary contributions
of several hundred dollars. Members of
the Sunday school gave more than 800.

NEW YORK, April "a triple tragedy
occurred in the restaurant at $50 Sd ave-

dered the proprietor, Otto Zinn, and two
employees. The murders were committed
with meat cleaver, welded with almost
superhuman force.
Zinn was aroused by a crash I'm the

from his living quarters to investigate.
After he had been gone about 10 minutes
his wife became alarmed and cautiously
made her way down stairs. In the base

blood-spattered corpses with the skulls

The murderers, for the police believes
there were more than one man in the
gang, escaped without trying to get the

At the same time, another murder was
attempted by bandit in Harlem, when

CHESTER Pa, April 5.-Church mem-
bers and ministers who are backing the
Nicholson -Hemminger revival campign in
this city are elated today over the sue
cess scored by the Rev. William p Nioh-
olson last night, when he preached to
capacity tabernacle audience and con-
verted "a persons.
The afternoon service yesterday had
made a record for attendance at the tab
ernacle but when the doors were open
ed last night the crowd that poured into
the building filled even the aisles. Ushers
and those directing the meeting were
unable to check the onrush of the
crowds. 1t is thought that the number
of converts would have been much great
er had 1t not been for the great difficulty
experienced by the personal workers,
who found II almost impossible to pen
citrate the great throng. The committee
in charge of the campaign is now consid-
ering enlarging the building, in antlcipa-
ton of a repetition of the difficulty at
future services
The evangelist chose Regeneration" as
his topic last night, using the text:
Marvel not that l said unto thee, 'Ye
must be born again." and using the
quotation as a basis for a scathing at
tack on those who MAINTAIN that they may
be saved merely by living Christian
life without being reborn in the Chris
tian faith.
"f don't care whether you are cultured,
moral, vlrtuous and honest" he cried.
"ff you are all this and have never
been born again through the saving blood
of Jesus Christ you will be eternally
damned and that's all there is to it.
You can take nettle into your house,
cultivate it and nurture it until 1t takes
on all the colors of the rainbow and
has the scent of the lilies of the field.
but touch it and 1t will sting you, for
il Is still nettle despite all these beau-
tlful qualities. That's just exactly the
way 1t is with you. and don't you forget
that for one moment"
