WHAT 2 YEARS WROUGHT
FOR MAYORS BIRTHDAY
In 1915 He Was Showered With
Favors; in 1917 With Verbal
Brickbats

Two years ago today the citizens OF Phil
| adelphia handed Thomas B. Smith, OF Glen
side Atlantic City and philadelphia
birthday present They erected him Mayor
OF the city in which he was born on the
anniversary OF the day on which he was
| born.
Today, on the forty-eighth anniversary
Of his birth and the second anniversary OF
his election as Mayor the happy felicita-
tions which were in evidence two years ago
| have been replaced with dissatisfaction. For
Thomas d. Smith is one Of nine defendants
who are accused of conspiring to commit
assault and battery and murder and viola
ton Of the Shern law at the recent primary
election.
The accusations followed a bitter fac
tional fight by the Ware forces for control
of the Bloody Fifth Ward" in which Po-
liceman George A. Eppley was shot and
killed by gunmen imported from New York
city.
Mayor Smith began his career at the age
of thirteen years when he sought and found
employment as "a messenger boy with the
Pennsylvania Railroad From this position
he became n dealer in building materials
and later accepted position as salesman
for the National Surety Company. Bonds
proved TO be his opportunity, and he rose
to vice president Of the company, later or
ganlZing the Thomas b. Smith Company.
But the Mayor had also been succeeding
in politics we'll I'm business He be-
came Organization leader of the twenty
eighth Ward and was elected to Common
Council In 1902 and TO the Legislature In
1904 In 1911, when Richard Ashurst dis
appeared, Mr.. Smith was appointed Post
master This position he retained until
President Wilson appointed John NJ. Thorn
ton 20 succeed him.
About this time Governor Brumbaugh,
with the aid OF the Wares, was building up
Statewide machine in opposition to the
Penrose- -McNichol forces. Smith was ap-
pointed n Public Service Commissioner. In
the fall Of 1915 Smith sought the Repub-
lican nomination for Mayor Congressman
William S. Ware, J. Hampton Moore and
Public Service Commissioner Monaghan
also were in the field. Moore and Mona
CHAN withdrew following conferences with
Senator Penrose.
Congressman Ware following the famous
blood of the martyrs" speech Of Uncle
Dave Lane, withdrew his nomination papers
In favor of Smith at the last moment and
Smith was the sole candidate of the Or
ganization at the primaries. on November
2, 1915, Smith was elected over George d.
Porter. the independent candidate.
The Mayor, II was charged at his hearing
before Judge Brown two weeks ago allied
himself with the Wares and "boted" the
ticket The Fifth Ward tragedy followed.
Today Mayor Smith. on his double ami
versary, Is not being congratulated by many
of those who did so two years ago. On the
other hand, they are planning to give him
a deferred present on Tuesday next when
they will go to the polls and attempt to
elect an independent Councils. The situa-
tlan is one of verbal brickbats instead Of
flowers

TRAGEDY PLACE

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. July 17.-With
the discovery of an automatic pistol
near the place where the triple trag-
edy is alleged TO have occurred, au-
thortties today were of the opinion
they had made some progress toward
solving the mystery shrouding the
deaths Of Edmund /. HUMPHREYS, Phil
adelphia coal operator. Mrs. Humph-
ries and their son, Edmund, Jr., Is
years old, on lonely country road
near here Sunday.
Aside from attempts to determine
ownership OF the pistol, investigators
are also trying to verify a story at
tributed to Sheriff Mulhollen, of Cam
tria county. to the effect that through
business associates of George c. Temp
kins, of Philadelphia. it has been
learned Tompkins was indebted to
Mrs. HUMPHREYS for a sum of money
with which he had purchased an in
terest in some coal holdings of Hum
phries. Tompkins, who is in the Cam
bria county Jail charged with the muir
ders, was accompanying the Humph-
ries family when, according to his
story their automobile was held up by
masked highwaymen.
The authenticity of statement that
the party was en- route to Philadelphia
from the coal operation where It was
intended Tompkins was to mortgage
some property with which to meet
his financial obligations to Mrs. Hum
phries is also being Investigated.
Tompkins maintains his innocence.

Editor Palladium:
In your issue of July 18th, the state
ment was made that Herbert C. Hoov-
er is a direct descendant of David
Hoover. This is mistake. I am in
a position to know that it is incorrect
and think 1 have a right to know,
and do know all the descendants of
David Hoover.
Herbert c. may possibly be, and
probably is, distant relative, but as
to that am not informed and do not
know.

Predict Flour Will
Raise Very Soon

Richmond grain dealers Tuesday
predicted that flour, now selling at
$500 a barrel will be selling for
$3.50 and $1375 barrel in several
days, due to the advancing wheat
prices.
When local grocers and millers ex-
haust their present stock, which will
be very soon, prices will raise.
Dealers point out that while the
crop is very much larger this year the
number of people the United States
will have to feed has also increased.
