KEER ASCRBES HIS
CARES TO WIFE'S AUTO
Magistrate Holds Him for Beat
ing Helpmeet, Who Thinks
His Minds Diseased

Everything went well with Enoch Keer,
he said until his wife bought an auto
mobile. Then, he asserts. his restaurant
business took a drop and trouble started
which ended in his arrest today. He
was arraigned before Magistrate Pennock
at the Central Police Court, charged with
beating his wife Rena, who acted as
cashier.
Keer said that he formerly conducted
five restaurants and turned them over TO
his wife, but the car and her methods
of business ran things down. Mrs. Keer,
who is cashier of one of the restaurants
near Filbert and Juniper streets, said she
supported herself and five children and
that her husband constantly abused her.
She was compelled to beat him, she said,
for self-protection after he had struck her
and her son. During the last family bat
tie Keer, to show his contempt, put his
foot through his own picture.
Mrs. Keer asked the court to have him
examined as to his mental condition, and
expressed the belief that he should be
placed in Jail or an asylum. He was held
In $500 bail for court.

IRON MEN OPTIMISTIC
IN BUSINESS VIEWS
More Than 500 in Convention at
Shore Believe Permanent
Boom Has Come

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. S-There was
no hint of depression In the reports pre-
sented or the appearance of 500 or more
iron masters attending the opening ses-
sions here today of the American Foun-
drymen's Association and their allies, the
experts OF the American Institute OF
Metals. Every one OF the trained super
intendents and other men behind the guns
in one of the most important of American
industries are confident that the battle
of the financial giants over Midvale,
Baldwin's and other great plants spells
prosperity for the future, with rush Or
ders better working conditions and better
wages for the rank and file as well as
the men at the top.
The machine tool builders are largely
absent, II Is true, both in the array of
exhibits in active operation turning the
great convention pier into large foundry,
and among the delegates, but that is due
to the fact that the machine branch of
the industry is turning handsprings" as
one ironmaster graphically expressed it,
in its efforts to keep up with the tre-
mendous rush Of war orders, both for
munitions and the machinery to turn out
munitions for use on the other side of
the Atlantic.
Essentially peaceful men of affairs to-
day found the slicing of hammered steel
bars, the first step in the turning out of
death-dealing shrapnel and shining steel
shells, one Of the most interesting fea-
lures of the exhibit.
In presenting the report of the asso-
citation upon Safety First" A. W.
Gregg, South Milwaukee, said the pro-
verbal recklessness of Americans was a
stumbling block. The committee asked
how thousands Of workmen OF foreign
birth could be expected to be careful
when they found American workmen all
about them disregarding many of the
most common regulations devised TO re-
duce the toll of accident and death in
the iron foundries.
Henry A. Carpenter, Providence, in well
coming the iron and steel masters, found
cause for satisfaction in the fact that
pig iron market prices have continued
reasonable during the abnormal condi-
tions inspired by war orders, and pre-
dicted that the next Il months will be
probably the greatest era of prosperity
for the industries ever known. Frank NJ.
Leavitt, Chicago. presented the report on
industrial education.

POLISH NEWSPAPERS
HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR STRIKES IN CITY
Milwaukee Publications Which
Discussed "War Orders" Said
to Have Influenced Workers
in Bridesburg
600 MEN AND WOMEN OUT

Polish newspapers, published in Milwau-
kee, were responsible for the strike OF
about 100 employees Of the leather irm OF
Thomas Janney & Co.. Bridesburg, ac-
cordlng to N. c. Broadhesd. general man.
ager OF the concern.
The Janney plant adjoins that OF the
Edwin II. Fitler Company, where about
800 employees, mostly Poles, walked out
yesterday shortly before the plant was
closed at noon.
MIR. Broadhead said that the Austrian
Poles employed by his firm walked out
on Friday morning Is minutes after they
had reported for work. None of the men
have returned so far. He said that upon
investigation he found that several Pol
ish newspapers published in Milwaukee
articles which advised all workmen of
Polish extraction to quit work unless
given higher wages.
Mr. Broadhead said that the same news
papers may have been responsible for the
dissatisfaction among the employees at the
Filter plant yesterday.
Employers in Kensington during the
last few weeks have been annoyed by
spasmodic dissatisfaction among their en-
ployes Of foreign extraction, especially
the Poles and Austrians, and numerous
struck on the ground OF higher wages,
but more often their actions we're unex-
planned, II was pointed out today.
The Fitler concern, II Is declared, has
been aware of a dissatisfaction among
their employees for several days and yes
terday they decided to close the plant.
In explaining their action, Cecil G. Filter,
a member of the firm said:
THE truth about our closing down is
that we have no business. We are un-
able to export our products because or
the war; the old vessels with standard
rigging have virtually been forced off
of the seas by the steamships, and since
we have been running at less than so
per cent. capacity, 1t would have been
direct. loss to keep the men employed.
In addition, we are installing 10O0-horse-
power heating plant and that hastened
our decision to close down.
There has been some dissatisfaction
among our employees for several weeks
past. Whether this has been due to the
Polish newspaper they receive l would not
like to say at the present time. We have
not been working on war orders, and IL
We were would have given the men an
increase In wages without their asking
for 1t.
1.-THE statement that the men only re-
ceive 50 20 per week is absurd. Those are
the wages of many of the boys. The men
receive up to as high as $40 weekly"
Yesterday after the firm had posted a
notice that it intended to close down
the employees walked out, declaring that
they were striking for higher wages and
shorter hours. 1t is believed that the ac-
tion of the strikers was superlnduced by
reading the Polish newspaper, which has
been freely circulated among the men at
the plant.

ROBINSON REPORTS
CITY Is CLEANED OF
VICE AND RESORTS
Police Head Tells of Wholesale
Elimination of Gambling
Houses, Dens and
Speakeasies
BIG INCREASE IN FIRES

The good results obtained through we'll
planned campaigns against vice are
clearly shown In the annual report Of
Superintendent Of Police Robinson, in the
course Of which he characterizes Phila-
delphia as one of the "cleanest" OF the
large cities OF the nation. The report,
just made public, enters into an ex-
hsustive account OF police activities
against spenkeasles and gambling houses
and vice OF all character.
Special investigators on the vice squad
are given credit for cleaning up resorts
of all kinds that iourished practically
unchecked during previous administra-
tlons The work of this squad, under the
supervision of Acting Detective Charles
Lee, led to 1864 convictions out of 1895
cases. This is considered a record of
which the investigators have cause to
feel proud.
The supcrintendent's report shows that
27S automobiles. valued at $316,455, were
stolen. and that in almost every in
stance the stolen machines had been left
unmatched and unprotected on streets and
roadways. That robberies were due to
carelessness on the part of citizens in
neglectlng to lock doors and windows is
shown by the fact that 15,701 cases of
this character were reported throughout
the year.
In the section given over to Fire Mar
shall Elliotts report II is shown that fire
losses for the year total s., $40, ,6S7, and the
loss of lives directly or indirectly, total
203 There were 1888 fires, an increase Of
732 over last year, with an increase Of
$S30,7n In fire losses. The average fire
loss was S573, decrease OF $42 The city,
according to the report, is contributing
to tho fire waste at the rate of s69,006 a
day. While the figures show an increase
over 1918, they show a decrease in losses
over 1912. before the fire prevention work
was started.

u. OF P. FRESHMAN CHEER
Class Will Receive Instructions Twice
a Week

In conjunction with the revival of tho
University of Pennsylvania system, a
freshman cheering section of a new order
got under way today. Under the guild
ance of Gordon A. Hardwick, president
of the Senior Glass of the University,
and the cheer leaders of the University,
plans have been perfected whereby the
members of the Freshman Glass are to
assemble twice weekly, on Tuesdays and
Thursdays, at p. m, at Franklin Field.
where they are to be taught the Penn
sylvania songs and cheers.
The object of the Inauguration OF this
plan is to acquaint more thoroughly the
men of the Freshman Class with the
Pennsylvania songs and yells and to in
still into them a real Pennsylvania spirit
II is hoped by this means to arouse in
the students greater interest in the
various sports at the University and in
crease the attendance at the football
genes and support Of the Athletic Asso-
citation.

UNHAPPY ALLIGATOR DIES
Young Saurisn of Finnegan's Circus
Not Pleased With Darby

While numerous persons were arguing
as to who owned the Darby alligator,
which was born in Sunday, 1t became
worried and died today in the glass Jar
wherein It first came to life.
The gator" was hatched out in the
window of Gus Pappas' store on Main
street. 1t came from an egg belonging
to another gator" which was part of
Finnegans Circus. AS the circus was
interned in John Kelly's livery stable for
oebt, Kelly thought 1t would be a good
idea to hatch out the young saurian.
Policeman Josh Heaps helped him along
by experimenting the operation and,
having a knowledge of reptiles generally,
he put the egg in a jar half full of
sand where the sun could shine on II.
Therefore when the gator came out he
thought he was in sunny Southern
cline. AS gators think quickly how
ever, 1t is possible he realized a trick
had been played upon him and that he
had been born in Darby.

JUDGE BROWN SHIFTS
BLAME FOR THE DUAL
HOLDING OF OFFICES
Declares in Letter to Public
Service Committee of 100
That Court Is Not Re-
sponsible for Evil
NOT NAMED BY JUDGES

Judge Charles L. Brown, President
to the Public Service Committee OF One
Hundred today, shifted the blame for the
dual officeholding evil from the shoulders
of the Judges of the Municipal Coust
Judge Brown took exception to state
ment issued by the committee last satur-
day in which 1t was pointed out that the
dual officeholding evil has not been dis
continued in the Municipal Court
Judge Brown declared there is not a
member of Councils in any division of the
Municipal Court who is under the author
ity of the Board of Judges of the Mu-
nicipal Court.
The Committee of One Hundred, in
making public Judge Browns letter to-
day, pointed out that the actual respon-
sibility for appointing the employees and
attaches of the court does not rest with
the Judges, but with the Clerk Of the
Court of Quarter Sessions and the Pro-
thonotary of the Courts.
COMMITTEES STATEMENT.
The committees statement follows:
THE Public Service Committee of One
Hundred received today a communication
from Ine I1OnOT1Dle AnhTleB L. bTOWII1
President Judge of the Municipal Court,
in which he took exception to the state
ment issued by the Campaign Committee
last Saturday to the effect that there
are three Councilmen holding appointive
positions in the Municipal Court.
"The letter of President Judge Brown
is as follows:
September %, 1915.
Public Service Committee of One
Hundred, 2l3 South Broad street,
Philadelphia.
'Gentlemen-Permit me to call your
attention to a misstatement in an an
nouncement of your campaign purposes
published in the newspapers on Septem-
ber 7. l quote the following:
LAS a result of the campaign waged
by this committee two years ago, the
Courts of Common Pleas and the
Orphans Court abandoned the practice
of having in their employ members of
Select or Common Council Two courts
today-the Municipal and Quarter Ses-
sions Courts-continue the practice of
employing Councilmen or of allowing
Councilmen remunerative positions in
the court.
There is not a member of Councils
in any division of the Municipal Court
over which the Board of Judges of the
Municipal Court has authority.
THE payroll and all the records of the
court relating to its administrative policy
are available for inspection by any person
interested to get at the facts.
Constructive criticism. that is, criti-
cism well founded in fact and looking
toward improvements in policy and meth
3D. are welcomed by this court To that
end the Bureau of Municipal Research
was invited last January to study the
operations of this court. II accepted the
commission and has been engaged in the
work ever since.
1T does not seem unreasonable to ask
that before asailing a public institution,
even for campaign purposes, that an ef-
fort be made to obtain the facts from
those who know and are responsible to
the public for the character OF their ad-
ministration.
Very respectfully.
