IN TEETH OF BIG STORM
All the 142 Men From Wrecked
Collier Brought to Charleston
Achievement of Wellington and
Cypress.

Charleston, July 15-All Of the 142
men on board the United States naval
collier Hector, when she struck on
Cape Roman, were rescued. The
light house buoy tender Cypress res
cued 21 of the men and the tug Wei
ington rescued 121. Both vessels had
great difficulty in getting the imper-
lied men. The Cypress reached her
wharf here at $50 o'clock this morn
ing, soon after the Wellington. The
Cypress at once proceeded to the navy
yard.
No statement could be procured
from Capt. Newell of the Hector, as
officers refused to allow reporter to
see him. Four men on the Hector
were injured. Ofler Singleton had his
right leg fractured. Coal Passer Nc
Dermott has many burns. Chief En-
gineer E. C. Mercer had also bad
burns. Ships Carpenter Christine
has fractured leg and gangrene.
These men are in a local hospital.
Praise for Captain.
Officers and men of the Hector
praised Capt Nielsen warmly for his
splendid seamanship during the res
cuing of the 121 men. The transfer
was fraught with grave danger. Time
after time the boat carrying men be-
tween the Hector and the Yelling
ton narrowly missed being crushed,
as enormous waves carried it swiftly
and mercilessly toward the side Of
the big tug.

BIG STORM SWEEPS
ACROSS THIS STATE
Leaves Charleston Undamaged and
Hits Interior POrtiOn.-COllier
Goes Down in Gale.

Leaving Charleston, which suffered
only minor damage, the tropical
storm born in the Caribbean this
week, yesterday swept inland over
South Carolina, bringing torrential
rains and high winds to all the coast
al plain and the lower Piedmont. The
chief damage so far seems to have
been to the growing crops, which are
believed to have suffered heavily as
result of the precipitation and the
wind.
The sinking of the United States
collier Hector off charleston harbor,
with it's possibilities of heavy loss Of
life, was almost the only tragic fac
tor in the story of the storm as told
in early advices. Whether the IA
people on board the i'll fated vessel
had been rescued could not be told
last night, as communication with the
Alamo, which was reported standing
by the wreck, had not been establish
ed.
From reports thus far received the
Pee Dee section of the State seems to
have suffered most. News from tha.
section is that the wind and the down
pour of rain have wreaked havoc with
the crops and may have caused dam
age to other property.
Last night the Columbia weather
bureau reported that the storm centre
had passed Columbia and was in the
neighborhood of Charlotte, N. c.,
where gale was blowing. The bur-
eau reported rains Of an inch or more
in the entire lower section of the
State, precipitation belt extending be-
yond Columbia to the north and west.
No loss of life has been reported
except in Charleston where early
accounts said a negro was killed by
coming in contact with a live wire.
Sullivans Islanu and the Isle Of
Palms did not feel the full force Of
the storm and both escaped serious
trouble. Nothing has been heard
from the summer colony at Pawley's
island, and dispatches from Florence
said there was some anxiety regard
ing it's safety. 1t is probable, though,
that the main disturbance missed
Pawley's as it did Sullivan's.

GIVE UP EASTER HATS,
SAYS SUFFRAGE CHIEF
Women Urged to Spend Money
to Attend National Party
Conventions.

Many Philadelphia suffragists today are
seriously considering canceling orders for
new Easter hats and suits and using tho
monee to help defray the expenses OF
delegates to the suffrage parades, planned
for the Democratic national convention at
st. Louis and the Republican national con-
venton at Chicago.
An Easter sacrifice for both these par
ades was urged today by Mrs George A.
Dunnng, chairman OF the Woman Suf-
frage Party of Philadelphia County. She
said
"Do without new Easter hats, suits or
shoes, II necessary, and give the money
to help send a delegate from your district
to the parades"
Mrs. Claude Bedford Of Media, went
even further. She said Women ought
not only to forbear buying new shoes,
but they ought to sell their old ones"
Curbstone schools for the education Of
citizens along suffrage lines will be open
ed this summer in Philadelphia by the
Woman Suffrage party.
The schools will be in session three eve
nings each week on City Hall plaza and
at Broad and Sansom streets. A corps of
teachers is being selected. After the
teachers" have laid down the principles
of suffrage 'readin' an ritin' an rith-
metlc," discussions will take place. The
pupils will be allowed to fire questions at
teacher and teacher" will try to an
swer them.

BOARD OF TRADE
WOULD RAZE CITY HALL
Recommends That City House It's Of
fees Along the Parkway

The demolition of the present City Hall
and the construction of several buildings
along the Parkway to house the municipal
departments is advocated by the Phlla-
delphia Board of Trade. While agitation
for the razing OF City Hall has been car
ried on at various times for some years,
the Board of Trade was the first organiza-
tion OF any Importance to lend its support
to the proposal.
The Municipal Committee of the Board
of Trade made the recommendation at
the meeting yesterday, and there was no
opposition voiced by any of the member
ship. Although the City Hall cost S24,-
100000 for erection and took many years
to complete 1t, II Is held that the razing of
the building would be justified for the ad-
vancement of Philadelphia.
The report of the Board of Trade COM
mittee reads:
The controversy over the City Hall
foundations only emphasizes the opinion
of your committee that this building
should be removed, and that several tall
buildings be built on the line of the
Parkway. or on Broad street, TO house the
various departments, with proper allow
ance for future growth
The open square thus secured would
be worth all IL would cost, and the build
ing could be removed In sections as the
various departments were housed else
where.
The idea Is not new, but a determined
enorl to accomplish II is, and this should
be undertaken promptly, so that proper
frontage for the various buildings could
be reserved on the Parkway and adjacent
streets"

CENSORSHIP USURPED
BY BENCH, SAYS JUDGE
Justice Won Moschzisker Says
Law Does Not Justify Pleas
Interference

Constant appeals to Judges of Common
Pleas courts as supercensors were severe
ly criticised by Justice Won Moschzisker,
Of the Supreme Court, in an opinion yes
terday reversing the lower court verdict
on motion-picture film called Virtue
and upholding the state Board of Moving
Picture Censors,
81 am convinced" said Justice Won
Moschzisker "after n careful reading of
the statute, that Courts of Common Pleas
were never intended by the act to be con-
stantly called upon to review motion pic
lures reproduced before them, and to
sit as censors over the State Board Gre
ated by the act"
The case of the film Virtue" was APP

had ordered eliminated were permitted by
Court of Common Pleas No. to be rein
stated For the Board of Censors Deputy
Attorney General Kun won decision in
the Supreme Court. which upheld the
censors and reversed the Common Pleas
Judgment
Justice Won Moschzisker said
THE evident intent of the act was to
grant right of appeal to the Common
Pleas Court, so that tribunal could cor
rect any arbitrary or oppressive orders
which the Board of Censors might make,
and nothing more; in other words, that
the court might reverse the censors when
the latter were guilty of abuse OF discre-
ton. This is the ordinary rule to which
on appeal even this court restricts itself in
reviewing an exercise of discretion, par
ticularly Of administrative officials.
I'VE do not mean to say that the com
mon pleas court may not review elimi-
mated pictures when necessary so to do
in order properly to comprehend the
matters before them; but such inspec-
ton should never be resorted to unless
in their opinion, the ordinary methods
of proof are inadequate.
when, after hearing, the Court is con-
WINGED in any case that the censors have
abused their discretion, the construction
just placed upon the act of 1915 leaves
ample power in the Court of Common
Pleas to see that the public is not denied
proper entertainment, and to protect prop
erty rights, a power which they should
not hesitate to use when occasion re-
