TOREDEEM THEIR CITY
Resolutions Demand Impeachment or
Resignation Of Officials Connected
With Political Fued.

PHILADELPHIA. September Is
Resolutions calling upon all citizens to
unite in the redemption OF tho city
and demanding the impeachment or
resignation of all public officials shown
by the pending investigation of the
political feud- which resulted IN the
killing of a policeman by alleged New
York gunmen-, to have been neglectful
of their duties were adopted at a mass
meeting at the Academy Of Music here
last night.
The meeting was called to protest
against the intolerable conditions of
our political life as evidenced by the
fifth ward murder
Former Mayor Rudolph Blankenburg
and others prominent In city affairs
were speakers. Faety thousand tickets
had been issued to ths public, and so
great was the attendance that overflow
meetings were held. Crowds In the
streets surrounding the academy were
so dense an hour before the meeting
was called to order that it was almost
impossible for the speakers to edge
their way through. The resolutions
say:
1T is not our function to adtudge
the guilt or innocence of any of the
individuals, in or out of office. who
have been or may be accused of COM
plicity IN the fifth ward crime of
guilty knowledge in connection there
with; but it is our purpose. our func-
ton and our duty to denounce that
crime and the inefiiciency. or worse, in
the department of public safety that
made it possible We call upon all
those charged with the duty of pre-
serving the peace and security of the
city and defending the liberties of the
people to prosecute a tireless investi-
cation that shall uncover and bring to
the bar of public Justice all persons
guiltily concerned

town meeting committee, was appoint

P[AN GREATER PROGRESS
IN AIRCRAFT BUILDING
Makers to Meet Here Next Week to
Consider, Approve and Adopt
Standard Parts.

Further acceleration of the rapid
progress made in creating monster
American aerial feet is expected as the
result of a meeting of makers of air
craft to be held next week in Wash
ington. The meeting has been called
by the aircraft production board
These experts will consider for ap-
proval and adoption in their manufac-
ture of aircraft the standards for air
plane parts and equipment worked our
by the Society of Automotive Engi-
neers. Acceptance of such standardfza-
tion by the manufacturers will greatly
simplify the task of creating a big air
fleet and immensely cut down the time
Of production
An insrancs Of the results OF s,and-
ardization already accomplished Is that
of airplane wheels which make easy
landing possible. Through adoption of
standard requirements only one size
of wheel is now turned out, fitted to
accommodate two sizes of tire. a small
tire for light machines and a big one
for heavier weights.
The engineers have been working in
conjunction with the International
standards boards and many standards
already have been worked out, such as
engine-testing specifications. safety
belts, controls. bearings. engine sup
ports. grade of steel. bolt and screw
sizes and the like. Some Of these have
been approved for both American and
allied machines and others will he
adopted and put into effect next week.
The government has contracted for
a great number of training planes of
the standardized type adopted for all
the co-bellig igerents. Enough of these
are in sight and certain of delivery to
permit some firms heretofore engaged
on training craft to be diverted 10
fighting machines.
This means that the first stage of the
mechanical problem of equirping and
training a great air army has been
overcome. The development of the
liberty motor for fighting planes fore
shadows equal rapidity in the final
equipment problem.

Record.

z. B. Wild of East Barnet has just
completed a seven-day test of his COW,
Aggie Jane Cornucopia Third, in
which she made 81 pounds of butter.
On one day while under test she gave
los pounds of milk, which is believed
to be the record production Of a COW
in Vermont. The COW is nine years
old and a break in her care during
the test reduced the amount of but
ter produced. Had there been no
break she promised to make over 80
pounds of butter. f
Mr. Wild is probably the largest
