Police Court Chronicles

The sight of water always inspires
Fred Lapp with an ambition to bathe
1t matters little where the water is.
1t happened in this case to be in a horse
trough on Frankford avenue, near Mar
garetta street.
Lapp is one OF the few men who cares
little about what other persons think.
After removing his shoes. he jumped in
the water with his clothes on and then
started to peel off," When he was about
half way TO the Cupid stage, a crowd OF
youngsters gathered about and asked him
to swim. He refused until a shower of
sticks and stones compelled him TO duck.
He went under water and came up as
far as his head. Then the bather started
to splash and compelled the audience TO
give him wide berth.
cop saw the crowd. and as Lapp had
no license to open a swimming school on
the street. he was dragged out, AS he
was covered chiefly by water, a blanket
was procured TO send him to the Frank
ford station
The police declared that Lapp had
caused the patrol horses more work dur
ing the present summer than any regular
drunk in the neighborhood He was ar
rested at the rate OF twice a week.
IT didn't know there was any lore
ag'in tryin' 10 keep healthy" said Lapp
There isn't said Magistrate Borie
"and you can continue TO improve your
health at the House OF Correction for the
next 80 days"

JEWS WISH TO AVOID CHARGE
OF HYPHENATED CITIZENSHIP
B'nai Birth Convention Asserts Mem
bers Are Americans First.

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 3-If ma
tional congress OF Jews can be created
along lines that will not render its MEM
bers subject TO indictment for hyphenated
citizenship, then the Executive Commit
tee OF the international Order OF B'nai
Birth, in annual session here, is in favor
OF the federation proposed by Louis Bran
dels. Of Boston.
Otherwise, the members are firmly and
unequivocally opposed to the taking of
any step that would make It appear that
members Of the rnce have lost sight of
the fact that they are first OF all Ameri-
can citizens. Rev. DR.. r. NJ. Calisch, of
Richmond, Va, today declared that the
B'nai Birth is grateful to President Will
son for what he has done to ameliorate
the condition Of millions of Jews in Rus

OF the national body. said the Department
Of State had been asked to investigate
charges that Russians, in the fighting
around Warsaw, used Jewish women and

HUSBANDS ARE NOT TO BE

Defiant Negro Changes His Attitude
When He Sees Mistake.

Two baby coaches, containing muscular
and energetic babies under restraint of
straps, were proceeding merrlly along
Germantown avenue In the opposite di-
rection came young negro carrying a
large basket of china. The negro lurched
carelessly, his jingling basket humping
the starboard rail Of one of the baby
coaches, which was thrown against the
other, and both infants set up a yell of
defiant Joy.
The mothers angrily accused the negro
OF doing It on purpose and he jeered at
them in reply

man. And I'll call mine. too,' echoed
Mrs. Scheler. They both live at 81 Maple

dash down the street and in half min

band and Mrs. Scheler's-in a word, Po-

STATE COMMERCE
CHAMBER PLANNED
Secretary of Allentown 0rgani-
zation Reports Favorable
Sentiment on Project.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Aug. 3.--Some very
favorable replies have been received by
Harry T. Koch, secretary Of the Alien
town Chamber OF Commerce, TO HE pro-
posal to organize the 80 boards Of trade
and chambers Of commerce Of Pennsyl-
vana into a state Chamber OF Com
merce
His idea In forming larger body, rep
resentative of the entire State, is to direct
the establishment Of industries in those
towns which are peculiarly suited TOT
certain industries.
Frequently we receive inquiries about
locating In Allentown from representa-
tives of industries not suited to our To-
calty," said Mr. Koch, but which would
be desirable for the soft coal or natural
gas sections, and sometimes labor con-
ditions are not favorable in one place
and may be in another
"I find that the suggestion to estab-
lish a State Chamber OF Commerce meets
with pretty general approval. II means
that we must do away with local 1eal-
ousles and work for a greater Pennsyl-
vania. Local jealousies generally react
and the town given to such feeling often
has cause to regret It. II we work on
n broad basis II will be much better for
everybody.
Another thing that would be accom-
plished by a state body would be the
of the promoters. often little
better than fakis, who work up jeal-
ousy between localities for their own
benefit, to the detrlment of investors.
They come into one town and say they
will locate there II they get a site and
backing of 100000. Then they go to the
next town and say to the board Of trade
that Allentown will give them a site and
100000, but will locate in the other town
II they get s150.O00 Sometimes such fell
lows will string three or more towns
along for an indefinite period. and, in
The end, IL a town does bite they go
broke and sting the investors.
"a State Chamber of Commerce would |
ict as a clearing house that would keep
ab on such gentry and prevent them |
from working the sharp games from |
which many communities have suffered"
