NEED WOMEN IN
TARPAULIN MILLS
Millions Of Yards Of Fabric Are Re-
auired at Once, and Feminine
Workers Are in Demand

Mills for the manufacture OF tar
paulins, located near Baltimore, are
now in need of workers and an ap'
peal for women recruits has beer
made in the newspapers. Owing to
government contracts requiring mil
lions of yards Of the fabric from
which tents and covers for army wag'
ons and trucks are made 1t has been
necessary to enlarge the factories. In
order to increase the output many
extra spinners are needed at a time
when the draft will take away old
employees. The shortage OF workers
has caused looms to be idle now ana
then and all the time there is the
most urgent demand for the khaki
colored cloth needed by the boys who
are winning victories in France.

"FAUNTLEROY" AUTHOR
is HELD MALICIOUS
Mrs. Burnett Townsend Again Must
Face Mrs. Fahnestock's Suit for
s50,O0O Damages

New York, May 1s-The Appellate
Division has reversed the decision of
Supreme Court Justice Charles II:
Brown, who dismissed Mrs. Annie Prall
FahnestoCks $4,000 suit against Mrs.
Frances IiodgSon Burnett Townsend.
author of Little Lord FauntlerOy."
new trial was ordered.
Mrs. Fahnestock was married July
%, 1905, to Archie Fahnestock, whose
mother. Mrs. Edith NJ. Jordan, Is
sister of the defendant. A letter con-
corning the marriage. it is alleged, was
written by Mrs. Townsend to Mrs.
Emma p. Knorr, sister of the plaintiff,
on February 81, 1915.
In reversing the lower court the APP
pellate Division said, in unanimous
opinion:
character, filled with asDersions upon
the plaintiffs character and evidently
written for the purpose of humiliating,
degrading and insulting the plaintiff and
holding her up to the contempt and
ridicule of all who might read It. The
whole tone of the letter Is unmistakable,
its purport apparent. and the malice
which pervades it is manifested In
almost every paragraph.
The defendant voluntarily interjected
herself into a correspondence for the
purpose of gratifying her malice against
the plaintiff or to satisfy some grieS-
ance of her own"

Louis Slayer and His
Family

Louis Slayer. formerly of San Jose.
California, and now of the Slayer
House" Ninety-fourth street and Tini-
cum avenue, has no house hunting wor-
ries. He and his wife and children

Slayer made the trip from San Jose
to this city in his automobile when
the Government sent out an urgent call
for workers al the ship-building plant
He wanted TO see the country and the
opportunity presented itself when the
weather was ideal for touring.
We arrived in this city May fifth -
said Slayer. MY wife at once startsd
to look for house The only ones there
was a chance of getting were not large
enough for our family, and they wanted
$50 a month for them. We resolved we
would not be robbed so we drove the
old flivver on a lot and pitched camp.
Rere We will stay until they get a
house built"
Slayer is employed at the Hog Island
shipyard as an electrician. He points
proudly to his children, Jack, seven,
and Dorothy, four.
Look at those kiddies" said Slayer.
They have been sleeping out doors all
their lives. and have never been sick a
day. ! am not worrying II we never
get house"
Many curious persons have visited
the Slagers in their home - Carpenters
working near offered TO build them a
platform on which 70 make their beds,
but they refused.

are believed to indicate a break between
Governor Brumbaugh and the Wares,
who are centering their strength on the
candidacy of Congressman John r. X.
Scott for Lieutenant Governor. Such
break has been expected in political
circles because Of the attitude of the
Wares on the GubernatOrtal situation.
The Wares themselves have refrained
from Endorsement Of either O'Neil or
senator SprOul, hut most Of their
strongest ward leaders make no secret
! that they are for Sproul. No direct
orders are understood to have been is
SUED from the Ware camp on the Guber-
/ material fight
Ward leaders affiliated with the Wares
are understood to have received in
StruCtionS to concentrate their strength
on scott and the congressional, sena-
torlal and legislative candidates of the
ware forces in the city So far as can
be learned the responsibility for pick
ing the candidate fo:' the head of the
| ticket has been left up to the ward lead
ers themselves and number of them
promptly declared openly for Sproul
The Governor is said to be inCensed
over the treatment given to the O'Neil
candidacy by the Ware forces. Cover
! nor Brumbaugh and Attorney General
BROWN, the prime hackers of the O'Nel
/ candidacy, have confidently expected
ware help for D'Netl and in their stump
ing tours over the State assured their
! audiences of a majority for the High
i way Commissioner in Philadelphia
with the advent of Congressman Scott
/ as a member of the O'SeIl stumping
! party two weeks ago. the alliance be-
! tween the O'Neil forces and the Wares
| was believed clinched. Scott toured
! the anthracite regions with the O'Neil
| party and then suddenly left IT, When
! last heard from he was reported to be
| making his own campaign in Western
| Pennsylvania
! Now il is recalled that Scott while
! with O'Neil. never spoke for the O'Neil
| candidacy. but confined his remarks to
/ his own candidacy. When the Governor
learned that the Wares were taking a
! supposed neutral attitude toward Sproul
| and ONeil. he Is understood to have
/ issued orders TO the O'Neil following to
. take the same attitude toward Scott and
I Beidleman. the rival candidates for
! Lieutenant Governor
Politicians are wondering to what eX-
tent such a break between the Cover
nor and the Wares will lead. Early In
the campaign there were rumblings
from Harrisburg that the Governor
threatened reprisals If the Wares de-
Clined to support his candidate for
Governor.

REGISTRY STRIKE-OFF
INJUNCTION GRANTED
Court Orders Commissioners
to Restore to Lists Names
Already Removed

Judge Audenried, Common Pleas court
No. 1. granted an injunction this after
noon restraining the registration COM
mssioncrs from continuing to strike off
the names of electors from the registry
lists.
The court also orders the commits
siOners TO restore all names stricken
from the lists since May g
About 1000 names are said to have
been stricken from the lists by the COM
missioners, who began a 'purging" Of
the lists on their own vOlition.
Most Of the strke-Offs were made in
the Third, Eighth, Ninth. Tenth and
Twenty-fifth wards, where the machinery
is controlled by the PenrOse forces.
The bill in equity asking the courts
to restrain the commissioners was filed
by John c. Winston, chairman of the
Committee Of Seventy, and others allied
with the Town Meeting party.
one Of the cases cited in the bill was
that of Representative Samuel j. Perry.
who Is a candidate for denomination in
the Eighteenth Legislative District
Witnesses testified at a hearing before
the commissioners that Perry lived in
the Thirty-third Ward. He claims his
legal residence in the Twenty-ffth Ward
The bill filed by the Town Meeting
party leaders alleged that persons whose
names were stricken from the list :
should have the right of appeal. The
work of the commissioners was started
too late to permit an appeal from their
decision
According to Section 10 of the per.
sonal registration act, electors whose
names are stricken from the lists are
permitted to file an appeal within ten
days Of election.

r. -. Johnston, superintendent of
mails at the Philadelphia postOffiCe. gave
this answer today to murmurs of dis
approval as the result Of the irregulari-
ties which occurred in the first three
days Of the aerial mail service.
1T is like everything else-when it
is started and isn't an immediate sue

He said il was his opinion that the
Compasses of the northbound planes
which have experienced the most diff
Guilty. are causing the trouble. He
voiced the opinion that this difficulty
would be speedily remedied and that
the service would be surely established
within a short time.
He pointed to the fact that Lieutenant
Edgerton. plotting a New York-to- Wash
ington plane. had cut fifteen minutes
from the scheduled time on one trip as
an indication of what is to be expected
later.
Mishaps have marred the service each
day since its inauguration, including the
first day, and mail has several times
been hours late.
Thus far the Washington bound plane
has made two successful flights in the
three days, but the northbound plane
has experienced difficulties twice in the
three trips. Lieutenant George l..
Boyle, plotting the New York bound
plane yesterday, lost his course and ar
rived here seven hours late, after max
