been sewed up"
Citing the solution of the transit problem
as an example of what can be accomplished
In philadelphia, when the people are deter
mined to accomplish definite purpose, the
bulletin points out that the same spirit Is
needed In building up the cltys recreation
system
1t Is shown that the Park Commission has
supervision over Fairmount Park, that the
Bureau of City Property has jurisdiction
over Bartram's Gardens, League Island
Park, the John e. Reyburn Parks, ETC. and
that the Board of Recreation and Board of
Education also have their fingers in what
Is described as the recreation pie" The
Municipal Court in opening play streets
Is listed as the most recent doctor for the
municipal recreation patient"
There Is no recognition of the existence
OF large problem that requires compre-

"MILTTANT JACOBS"
CONTINUES BATTLE
TO HELP LANSDALE
Some Factories, He Says, Are
Willing to Meet Him Half
Way to Improve
Drainage
CUTS PIPE FROM PLANTS

LANSDALE, Pa, Aug. 30.--Dr. John N
Jacobs. the man who Is accused Of trying
to be monarch" and boss" at Lans-
dale, and as Montgomery County Com
troller was known as Militant Jacobs
is continuing his militant tactics. He cut
of a drainage pipe that drained from half
a dozen manufacturing plants on the out
skirts of Lansdale, because, he says, the
drainage from these plants was all that
polluted Bucks County streams into which
the oft-dlscussed Lansdale sewage drains.
when the owners OF these plants told
Doctor Jacobs he was OVERRIDING his au-
thority," he asserted that as chairman OF
the street and Sewer Committee Of Bans-
dale Borough Council, he had been given
supervision of the Hatfield township road
on which the plants are situated.
Doctor Jacobs says he wrote letter TO
r. n. weachter, president of the Lansdale
Mushroom Company, asserting that last year
at this time he personally offered TO bear
a large part of the expense of constructing
improvements for the convenience of these
plants but that the offer was ignored. He
saws il is still open and that some of the
officials of the plants are ready to meet him
half way
He also says that some of the plants
from which the Objectionable drainage
comes are: Abram Cox Stove Works,
Souder Company, Cement Works and Per-
kins Glue Company The latter he asserts
is the principal offender.
Doctor Jacobs has been experimenting
force of men engaged in cleaning up Mon
gomery township, and he says there was
but one resident of the township who OBJ
jected to paying the bill for the cleanup
work.

LOWING kline STUDY HISTORY
Mild-Eyed Bovines on Sightseeing
Trip Linger in Independence
Square

It's hard to convince COW that she hasn't
as much right on the grass as human
being. A score Of very determined cows,
which had been accustomed to grass all
their lives, wandered into Independence
Square last night and made preparations to
spend the evening.
They dined on the lawns, peered into the
faces Of weary persons on the benches and
voiced their contempt for the cops and
guards who sought to convince them that
they were in the wrong hotel
Some of the cattle lowered about the
door Of Independence Hall and gazed in the
direction OF the1iberty Bell others sampled
the leaves on the trees, and some squatted
around the Barry statue,
Finally their drivers, with the assistance
of several cops. made triangular charge,
in which they managed to mobilize the cows
near the center of the square. Then the
head drover uttered n savage yell, which is
understood only by cows, and went after
them. The cows retreated toward Washing
ton Square. but were turned into Sixth
street by other drovers who tapped them
with clubs as they reached Sixth and Wal
nut streets.

WANTS WATER METERS
TO STOP BIG WASTAGE
Chief of Bureau Says Shortage
Can Be Remedied, But More
Filters Are Needed

Carleton E. Davis, chief of the Water
Bureau, reports that the water situation
that is, the supply of it's still critical. The
reserve basins were very nearly emptted OF
their contents during the last hot spell and
their gain in the last few cool days has been
hardly noticeable.
Chief Davis doesn't think that under the
present system, by which water is wasted
without fear Of punishment on the part of
the users, there will be any change, and
doesn't think the reserve basins will fill up
before next spring. And that is going on
the expectation that there won't be any
more hot spells like the last one.
Another such hot spell would bring n
crisis dangerously near, Chief Davis says.
His faith in water meters as preven-
tive is only for an immediate measure. 1t
will solve the problem now, but not perma-
nently The need for more wator will be-
come evident as tho city grows. and what
he wants is S6OO0,OO0 to fix up filter beds
and install necessary machinery to enlarge
the supply of filtered water. But he wants
those meters right away, as he is convinced
that they will stop the existing dangerous
waste.

BROTHER TO AID PLAINTIFF
IN ALIENATION DAMAGE SUIT
H. L. Davis Promises Interesting Tes-
timony" in 100000 Fight

Thomas F. Davis, brother of Howard L.,
Davis, is expected by the latter to arrive
at New Egypt, N, j., as an ally In his fight
against another brother. Malcolm, of this
city, whom he is suing for 100000
damages, alleging alienation of his wife's
affections.
This is the first outward step any of the
family has taken since the difficulties of
two of the brothers were published to the
world.
"Tom is with me-" said Howard L. Davis,
"and will arrive today. In fact the whole
town of New Egypt Is with me. and II
necessary to prove my case I'll subpoena
the whole town; can promise some mighty
interesting testimony"
The plaIntifT in the suit is a wealthy
poultryman in New Egypt. He is some
fifteen years the defendant brothers senior.
The fight involves dispute over the large
estate left by their father, the late Ed
ward t. Davis, as much as It does the al
legged intimacy between the plaintiffs wife
and the PLAINTIFFS brother.

Police Court Chronicles

dozen or more young women fed from
the veranda of the Cobb's Creek Country
Club when a n'mble, middle-aged man. with
a bald spot as big as n saucer, appeared In
Cobbs Creek opposite the public golf course
and began to execute a crude version of the
spring dance.
The elderly dancer was devoid of cloth
ing. There was only about two inches Of
water running In the creek, SO that there
was nothing to interfere with the ghtness
of his movements as he pranced about the
bed of the stream. He lifted a foot or an
arm in an attempt at grace. and he bent
his body to the right and the left like n
society dancer Tho dancer was stout, but
that did not seem to interfere with the light
ness of his movements. The sunlight glls-
tened on his bald spot as he pirouetted In
the shallow water
And in the meantime the phone Jingled
I'm the 61st and Thompson streets station.
The sergeant blinked when he glued an
ear against the receiver.
"Oh N.Y." troubled girlish voice said,
"do send several big policemen to the Cobbs
Creek Country Club. There is shocking
creature hopping about like mad thing
in Cobbs Creek.
as it man or beast?" inquired the SER
geant.
Oh it's mana terrible man; he hasn't
he hasn't-he hasn't-"
Hasn't what?" said the sergeant i'm
patiently.
Hasn't thing on" came the reply,
rather weakly. "|
Some big policemen were @sent, but in
the meantime Park Guard James Kearney
had spotted the nimble dancer.
where are your clothes?" asked the
park guard
"They are ever and anon," replied the
dancer, smiling sweetly ana executing
bow that would have done credit I" Paw

''where in is that?" said Kearney

SEEK NEGRO SUSPECT
IN BIG BARN FIRE
Posse Searches for NJ an
Thought to Have Started
Hatboro Blaze

A posse OF armed farmers and constables
today are conducting a search In Hatboro,
Willow Grove and Arlington for an unidenti-
fed negro, who is suspected Of setting fire
to several barns last night on the farm OF
Robert Yeager wealthy farmer OF Hat
boro.
While volunteer fremen were trying to
extinguish the flames the negro was dis
covered ransacklng the apartments OF the
Yeager family. He made his escape with
$3.50 in cash after more than dozen shots
were fired at him.
Corn fields around the Yeager farm,
where the negro is believed TO be In hiding
today, were surrounded by farmers and
Chief of Police Lever, of Arlington, but
no trace Of the man could be found
The fire occurred shortly after 10 o'clock
last night in a stable where cows and
horses are kept. The volunteer fire de-
partments Of Willow Grove, Arlington and
Hatboro were called out.

said the middle-aged one, fiinging out his
left foot and throwing his right arm
heavenward.
Here you old huzzy," commanded Kear-
ney, looking nervously toward the club
house, you crawl into those bushes there
and stay there until find your garments
Crawl, old boy. crawl"
Kearney vigorously used foot to slim
ulate action, and when the man was
screened by bushes the Park guard started
a hunt for his clothing. He found them
about O quarter of a mile away.
Kearney was returning with the gar
ments when he was startled by an un-
earthly bowling. He soon came upon the
dancer, racing back and forth in the bushes
like an unruly cow on rampage The
middle-aged one was slapping his bare skin
and kicking up his heels like refractory
colt The old fellow even hammered at
his bald spot
Kearney charged after the man and after
a race Of 10 minutes succeeded In cor
railing him.
whats the matter with you now?" in
uuired Kear sy. all out OF breath.
Like Job, I'm sorely oppressed" painted
the old one.
Kearney made an examination. and in
spite OF his trials he laughed, for he found
that the dancers skin had been invaded by
an army of ticks. They were burrowing
into his hide like swallows into sand
bank. 49,,
Glad of IT," said Kearney; now you
hustle into that shirt and those pants"
II was a painful operation getting the old
falIow into his clothes but at length 1t was
finished. and a little later the prisoner
was booked at the Thirty-seeond and Wood
iand avenue station as Michael Jordan.
