QUIET CAMPAIGN
IN MANNINGT0N
Municipal Election Will Be
Heldiin That Town on
Monday.

The campaign In Warrington for
the coming city election which will
be held Monday is very quiet and no
sensational features have been MOTTO
ed. Although there are three tickets
in the field active competition has
not been evident as yet, except In one
ward.
The Third ward candidates for coun:
cilmen on the Progressive.R Republican
and the Citizens ticket are E. w. Com
gleton and J. r. Rogerson. The sup.
porters Of each of these candidates are
working hard to elect their man and
the interest OF the voters Of the city
seems to be centered on this contest
The three tickets in the field are the
Progressives, Citizens and Business
Mems. The race for Mayor is between
the present Mayor, ]. D. Charleton,
and H. c. Beatty. The present Mayor
is well-liked and popular and Mr.. Beat
ty Is also considered an excellent man.
The race for chief of police has ere
ated more interest than the race for
Mayor. The present chief, G. L. Watts
and E. N. Wilcox. are the contenders.
Watts has an excellent past record and
is named on two of the tickets in the
field and It is thought that he will
likely win the fight.
The present campaign is remarkably
free from political issues and each can
didate is running on his merits more
than party affiliations.
The polls open Monday at 6:14 a. m.
and close at 6:05 p. m. The officers
elected will assume duties April 1.

FOR EIGHT.HOUR DAY

their two-day meet Mt the Elks' Club
yesterday.
The convention voted 10 appoint COM
mittee of five 70 call upon President Will
SIN some tine .Is week to obtain from
him a statement of his attitude toward
Civil Service retirement legislation.
Representative Frederick e. Hicks of
New York, urged a straight retirement
measure for. Civil Service employees in mis-
address at the morning session. Rep
resentative O'Shaunessy, of Rhode Island,
also spoke in favor of a straight retire
ment law.
In comparing conditions in the busI-
ness world with the government service,
Representative O'Shaunessy pointed out
that once in the government service
man or woman is up against stone
wall, whereas in the business world there
is always an opportunity for diligent
worker to advance himself. For this rea-
son, he said, the government should be
more generous to those who have served
so faithfully into old age.

PINCHOT SCORES
ALLEGED LOBBY
Declares Water Power Deyel-
opment Association Tried
to Misrepresent Him.
DEFENDS ASSERTIONS
Says Objections Were Well Founded
at Time, but that Bill Since
Has Been Modified.

Clifford Pinchot, president Of the Ma
tional Conservation Association, last
night opened a voIley upon the recently
organized Water Power Development As
ISOLATION for alleged Misrepresentation Of
his stand on The question OF the Shields
bill. which he says proposes, in effect, to
give away in perpetuity the last great
natural resource still owned by the peo-
pie.
In a parenthetical way Mr.. Pinchot de-
clared that this latter association is the
publicity branch Of the wateT-power
lobby which is working for the passage
Of the bin, and which has just, after
careful preparation, captured and dens-
tured The National Conservation Congress
as step in its campaign"
He objects to the following statement
issued by the association:
Pinchot Makes Reply.
Mr.. Pinchot asserts that the Shields
bill fails to require the necessary pub
licity and uniformity Of accounts and
SO makes the effective supervision OF
wster-power corporations impossible.
Section OF the bill makes provision for
exactly what Mr.. Pinchot asserts is lack
ing"
In reply Mr.. Pinchot said last night.
when I made the statement thus de-
nounoed as false. It was. like every other
statement have made about the Shields
bill, exactly accurate Ny statement was
made on January % Afterward. on March
Z, and in part as the result of my state
ment. the bill was amended on the floor
Of the Senate by the Kenyon amendment
which made the very correction, the need
OF which had jointed out
The bill needed but did not have, a
provision tn RafeE1la I'd fhA YSr1h1fr n =
matter OF publicity and uniformity of sc-
counts. called attention to that need
The provision whose absence had criti-
cised was thereupOn added Now comes
the Water Power Development Assocla-
ton. and seeks by the distortion Just de-
scrbed to discredit and set aside my at
tack on the Shields bill on the ground
that my criticisms are contrsdicted by
the provisions Of the bill" "

up the stairway and hall, perched in
a second story window Of a four-story
tenement at 525 Hum boldt street,

and in a moment it. too, was damned
Gongs and whistles announced that
the firemen were on the way. Mrs.
Nisko strained her eyes; a blueCoat
appeared below. 1t was a policeman,
and he beloved commands not to
jump.
Mrs. Nisko had no intention of
jumping, but she wanted to be sure
that her baby wasn't missed by the
firemen when there were so many
others to rescue.

face of the building that might turn

While it was still sliding forward,
despite locked wheels, Lieutenant
