Quinn Asks Fry to
Resign; Fry Says He
Has No Reason TO

c. F. Quinn, secretary of the Penn
sylvania State Federation of Labor,
to-day made public the following
letter:
'It appears that Mr.. Fry, now a
candidate for Council, is not going to
resign his present office of City Con-
troller until he has been elected
Commissioners.
by this conduct he is hardly act
ing wisely. He was elected for four
years of service and he should keep
his contract with the people. OF
course he has a right to aspire to
Council, but it is plainly his duty
to tender his resignation, that the
voters may elect his successor.
1T seems the third class city law
lodges no power anywhere for the
filing of n vacancy in the con-
trollership. Some other law, there
may he. of which l am unaware: II
is to be hoped that it is not stupid
provision, empowering Council to Sc
lect a man tC pass upon its acts. But
whether or not, Mr.. Fry should re-
sign. so that the voters may have an
opportunity to fill the vacancy. If
not, then he should withdraw from
the contest for Commissioner. Should
he decline TO do either, then it will
be we'll for the voters to see that
he remain where he is till the end
of his term"
When shown the foregoing letter
to-day Mr.. Fry said
1T is true that | do not intend to
resign the controllership previous to
election. There is ample precedent
for this. Even candidates for the
Supreme Court of the State have not
resigned their minor iudgeships
when running for that high office
Why limit this to me? Alderman
Hoverter is candidate for Mayor
but he has not resigned. James
Thompson, City Assessor, is a candi-
date for Council and he has not re-
signed. Commissioner Gorgas is a
candidate for Mayor and he has not
resigned mis- commissionership. AL
derman Hilton is a candidate fol
Coroner and he has not resigned
Senator Snyder held his office as SEN
ator up to the very day he was in
Quoted into the office of Auditor
General. These are only a very, very
few of many such instances. ! can
not see any good reason why | shoulC
be made an exception. The Clarl
act does not require me to resign and
/ there is ample power for filling tht
controllership after my election.

MRS. DE SAULLES
CALLS FOR CHILD
KEPT FROM HER
Funeral Services Are Held
Today For Slain
Husband
BY .fssocidfed Press

Mineola, n. Y, Aug. S.-All mys-
terry about John Longer De Saulles,
Jr., the four-and- a-half-year- son
of Mrs. Blanca De Saulles. who shot
and killed her divorced husband last
Friday when he refused to give up
the child to her care, was cleared
to-day when he was found in the
care of G. Maurice Heckscher, De
Saulles' business partner. Counsel
for Mrs. De Saulles was expected to
make an appeal TO Rr. Heckscher
to-day that the mother, who is con-
fined in the county Jail here on a
charge of first degree murder, might
be allowed to see her son. Should
this appeal fail it was said legal ac-
ton probably would be taken.
Mrs. De Saulles, who vas said to
be in a serious condition by three
physicians who examined her. has
been removed from the cell she oc-
cupied to room in the sheriff's
apartments of the building after DR..
Gay +. Cleghorn, the county physi-
clan, had said it was necessary that
she have better care In state
ment regarding Mrs. De Saulles' con-
dition made public to-day DR.. Cleg-
horn said: She is thin and wasted
and weighs less than 100 pounds
She will have to be built up and
| kept under observation, but there is
no reason why this should not be
done where she is. If she fails to
respond to treatment and grows
worse here, the question of remoV-
ing her to a hospital can be taken
up again"
Since Mrs. De Saulles has been un-
der arrest her one request has been
that she might be allowed to see
her son for few minutes. DR.
Cleghorn said it would do the wom-
an a great deal of good to see the
boy and that only when kis name
was mentioned did she display the
slightest interest in anything.
Many at Funeral
Funeral services for John L.
De Saulles. onetime Yale athlete who
was shot and killed by his former
wife. were held to-day at the
Dc Saulles home here. Although the
time and place had been kept secret,
such a large crowd of curious per-
sons gathered that twelve policemen
were necessary to keep the street
clear in front of the house.

Antiorganization Man
Wins Virginia Primary
Rr Associntcd Prcss

Richmond, Va. Aug. s. - Returns
from yesterdays democratic guber-
natorial primary continue to indicate
the nomination of Westmoreland
Davis. the Loudun county farmer and
lawyer who ran independently and in
opposition to j. Taylor Ellyson, the
Democratic organization candidate.
Davis Is opposed to the prohibition
constitutional amendment and his
choice is regarded as a blow at the
Prohibition forces which made the
state dry last November. Prohibition
lists attribute Davis victory to a
split in the dry vote between Ellyson
and John G. Pollard, who also
sought the nomination which is
equivalent to election.

WANTS COUNCIL
TOPROVIDE FOR
REMOVING WIRES
City Electrician Will Ask to
Place Fire and Police Alarm
Underground in Park Zone

With the telegraph and telephone
companies in the city planning to re-
move all wires in the Capitol Park
extension zone and connect them with
present underground systems by the
use of conduits already placed in
Briggs street, City Electrician Clark
L. Diehl is preparing to ask Council
to provide for the removal of city
fire and police alarm wires.
According to MIR. Diehl, when the
present underground system is COM
pleted connecting from the Mayors
office to Court street and north in
Court street to Liberty it will cost
about $4,000 to complete the work
and connect the wires now in the
park zone.
Extensive preparations are under
way for the removal of the poles and
wires in the park zone" Mr.. Diehl
continued. The city should be pre-
pared to take the police and fire
alarm wires down at the same time.
This will reduce the cost later If both
telephone and telegraph and the city
cables are put in the conduits to-
gether."
To Start Soon
Work on the underground system
| in Court street will be started as
soon as the cable recently ordered is
| shipped here. When completed all
| overhead wires for the central sec
tion connecting on poles in Court
street will be removed. If Council
| provides funds for additional cable
| to continue the underground to
Briggs and Cowden streets to con-
meet all lines in the park zone, many
I more poles car be removed by the
| end of the year and another big step
| taken in the preparation of the area
! for park development.
1t is also reported that plans are
| being considered which will result in
| the placing of the Western Union
! telegraph lines in the center of the
! city in conduits and removing the
tall poles of the American Telephone
| and Telegraph Company in Walnut
| street, replacing the lines with un-
| derground systems.
