FIREMEN'S PLEA BACKED
BY RESEARCH BUREAU
Director Gutenberg Says Its Plan
for Standardizing Pay Does
Not Include Theirs

Frederick p. Gutenberg, director of the
Bureau of Municipal Research, takes issue
with Joseph p Gaffney, chairman of Coun-
ellis Finance Committee, on the subject of
6remens salaries
Mr.. Gaffney recently has informed mem
bers of the fremen's campaign committee
that when he received from the Bureau of
Municipal Research its findings on munic-
ipal salary Standardization, his committee
would take up the adjustment of firemens
pay The frequent iteration of this state
ment led the fremen to believe that in some
measure their campaigns success depended
upon the recommendation of the Bureau of
Municipal Research.
Director Gutenberg denies that his bureau
has ever had, or now has, any thought
of including the firemen in its standardiza-
tion work.
"Mr. Gaffney." said Mr.. Gutenberg, has
called upon me and assured me that il
he made the assertions attributed to him
the statement was an error.
During the last two years the Bureau
OF Municipal Research has repeatedly urged
an equalization of pay for similar work and
"a Standardization of all other conditions OF
employment under the city government,
''The task is so large. however. that If it
is to be performed in a thorough manner
only a part of II can be completed this
year.
"The fire and police services are the least
In need of such an overnauing in fact
they are the only two services that already
have the more important essentials OF
Standardization, namely, un form titles,
uniform pay and uniform grading of all
positions having similar duties, and definite
lines of promotion from the lower to the
higher ranks within each service
80 far as the merits of the demands
of both firemen and policemen are con-
cerned, this bureau will state that it stands
unqualifiedly for more adequate compensa-
tion than Is now being paid to these two

GIBBONEY AIDS WOMAN
TO OBTAIN A LICENSE
Argues in Behalf of Equality of
Sexes While Court Hesitates
Over Transfer

Several cases in the License Court in
volvIng women prompted the court today
to question the fitness of members of the
weaker sex to act as saloonkeepers. Judges
and lawyers engaged in discussion of the
question and d. Clarence Gibboney, head
of the Law and order Society, helped one
woman to win n liquor license by arguing
for equality of the sexes.
In the case of Mrs. Cecilia Mitchell at
the southeast corner of Eighth and Parrish
streets, to transfer the license to Peter stan
ley the Court was considerably irritated by
the remark of Albert II. Ladner Jr., who
said that Mrs. Mitchell's place was a mem
ace to the community. and that they wanted
her to sell out to save the investment of
$4,000.
Judge Davis said: IF that is the case
the license ought to be revoked. What right
have we to say to this woman that we won't
revoke your license, but we will make you
sell. You brewers (Mr. Ladner represents
brewing ipterests) ask a good bit, but
think you are going the limit this time"
Judge Davis turned to Mr.. Gibboney and
asked him why he didn't move to revoke
the license, and Mr. Gibbony said he in
tended to at the next court. The petition
to transfer was denied.
In the case of Otto Wolf 262 East Grard
avenue, to transfer to Miss Frances Schaef-
fer, Judge Davis said he did not think
it desirable for women to go into
the retail liquor business Her counsel
mentioned that this was a progressive age
and Judge Barratt said that this was GER
tainly progressive step" M. Gibboney
said he believed in equal rights" and
thereupon the court granted the petition
GHOSTS FIGURE IN CASE
Ghosts figured largely in the petition of
John Latazusch. who wanted to have his
license changed from 1901 Germantown
avenue to Orianna and Bristol streets He
testified that the fear of neighbors of
certain alleged ghost had well nightr uined
his business and he wanted to move.
The ghost was first brought to light in
a rumor some time ago and purported to
be that of William frost, who was mur-
dered several years ago by his wife Frieda,
when he kept a saloon at the Germantown
avenue address.
Latzusch said that he didn't believe in
ghosts. but that his neghbors did and that
the printing of the story had hurt his trade
He also said much liquor was illegally
sold in the neighborhood and in this was
borne out by Mr.. Gibboney. who told the
court there were sixteen disorderly houses
speak easies and Rambling clubs imme-
dately around the saloon. Judges Davis
and Barratt refused the petition. however.
saying that Latzusch's remedy was to get
damages from whoever circulated the ghost

"QUIET TALKER" TELLS
HOW TO GET MORAL AID
S. d. Gordon Says Bible and It's Man
Provide Strength and
Courage

The need of moral help to sustain our
selves through life was pointed out today
by S. p. Gordon in his quiet talk at the
Garrick Theatre. Prayer as means Of
bringing about enlightenment was also ad-
vocated by the speaker
The meeting was largely attended
In the course Of his remarks Mr.. Gordon
said:
God comes to us in this old Book He
speaks in it. He reaches into our lives
through it's pages We need help. our
moral sidewalks get pretty slippery some
times Some of us get had falls. This
Book will help steady our feet. We do not
read the Book for its own sake merely,
much as we may love it.
1--WE must not think of it as a charm
of magic power against evil. But there's
a Man in the Book There's a living pres
ence here. And through its pages He
speaks to us. He instructs our mind and
strengthens our purpose. lie steadies our
feet.
"I want to give you three words. They
help to simple mastery of the old pages.
Prayerfully is the first word. A simple bit
of prayer will open the Book anew and
open your mind to its meaning. This
Book gives up its meaning not to the keen
mind merely, but to the spirit-enlightened
mind.
Through the quiet moment of prayer as
you read, and the Spirit of prayer there
comes a fresh touch upon page and upon
