As a result OF the doctors action, many

"no"
Mr.. Schwarz, who is at present a MEM
Der of Select Council from the 45th Ward,
is a saloon proprietor at Richmond and
Kirkbride streets, Bridesburg. He re-
ceived a copy Of the transit pledge and
met a reporter in Coroner Knights Of
fice, which he visits nearly every day.
I'm for the transim plan" he said,
"and I've read over this. Some of the
things is good and 1 signed 'em, but
1 didn't sign all of 'em. I'm from the
northeast, and I got to be conservative
up there. I'll show you" s..
He took the form from his pocket and
was about to show it to the reporter
when Coroner Knight stepped into the
room.
whats that. Fred?" he asked.
Its the transim pledge. The LEDGER
wants me to sign it."
Don't you sign nothing for the
LEDGER" the Coroner said loudly. THE
LEDGER don't do nothing for you. They'll
be against you whether you sign the
transit pledge OF not You don't have
to pledge yourself You tell the people
Of the 45th Ward. and that's enough.
Don't you sign it."
Mr.. Schwarz returned the paper to his
pocket.
mo, I guess 1 won't sign It," he said
But I'm for translm.'
In a previous conversation over the
telephone Mr.. Schwarz said that he was
for all Of the measures in the transit
plan, but especially for the Frankfcrd
elevated line.
I'm not against the other lines" he
said, but we can't do too many things
at once"
Questioned with regard to the abolition
OF Scent fares, he said that the people
of his ward wanted rapid transit rather
than cheap transit. He said that 1t took
an hour from his home to the business
district, and that the people of the sec
tion should be given transfers out Wal
nut, Market and Arch streets in order
that they could get to the centre of the
city for one fare.

BANKERS AFTER THE
COMPTROLLER'S SCALP
Financiers Planning Fight in
Next Congress to Abol-
ish Office

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l-The abolition
Of the Office of Comptroller of the Cur
rency is the object of a movement among
bankers OF the United States which will
come to a definite head when Congress
meets. A sharp fight over the legisla-
ton is sure to accompany the attempt
TO do away with the congratulated Of
fee, Treasury officials say.
When the act was passed creating the
Federal Reserve Board to examine and
otherwise supervise member banks in
much the same manner as that of the
Comptroller of the Currency, bankers
took the position that continuation of the
Comptrollers Office would. result in du-
plication of work. Many bankers feel
that the existence of the dual system of
examinations is an annoyance, and are
backing the plan to do away with the
comptrollership.
John Shelton williams, the present
Comptroller said today:
81 am aware that a good many per-
sons would like to see the Comptroller's
office abolished, but 1t probably won't
be.

SOILED LINEN LEADS
NEIGHBORS INTO COURT
Dust From Carpet Beating
Mars Wash Line Display
and Causes Legal Clash

Little specks Of dust that noated over a
back fence on Baltimore avenue. near
b7th street. have caused lot OF trouble
in that neighborhood, and were RESPONSE
bic for a sauabble which didn't even end
today, when IL was thrashed over in
Magistrate Harriss office. A great back
yard issue is lnvolved-it is a controversy
between dirty carpets and clean linen.
In the backyard OF Mrs. Josephine Car
olan sss2 Baltimore avenue. clothes were
hung out to dry. They we're spick and
span, after their treatment by the laun-
dress, and were drying nicely. Next door,
at beso lives Joseph Grimes. He also has
n backyard. His floors are covered with
carpets and rugs. and they. like clothes,
get dirty.
A negro woman employed by Mr. Grimes
took the carpets in the yard and started
TO beat them. Hence the little specks Of
dust Mrs. Carolan noticed that the wash
In her yard didn't seem so clean as It
was. She told the negro woman to de-
ysist.
Cnter at this time Mr.. Grimes. II was
testihed before the Magistrate today that
he told the woman to ignore Mrs Caro-
lan's protest and to beat the carpets
like a drum" Mrs. Carolan continued to
protest. and It is alleged that Mr.. Grimes
told her to 30 into the house again and
stop "hoating around like an old barge"
Mrs. Carolan had her neighbor arrested
charged with a nisdemeanor Magistrate
Harris held him under $500 bail to keep
tho peace for one year. Technically Il
was a victory for the plaintiff and clean
linen. although the defendant was allowed
70 sign his own bail bond. But Mr..
oGfimes Is angry. He will appeal from the
decision OF the Magistrate. and says he
will sue Mrs Carolan for false arrest.
