him died the secret of the preparation Of
the terrapin dinners for which he was
famous for nearly fifty years. He died
last night at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Daniel Young, at Atlantic City,

He was eighty-three years old
Born in Roscommon, Ireland, on Oc-

with his parents in 1910, settling in
Philadelphia.
The yo.ng 1rishman fought with
credit and distinction during the Civil
War, and when he returned home

of the present Union League clubhouse
For thirty-nine years he remained
there. at the southeast corner of Fiji
teenth and SAMSON streets, until the
property was purchased by the Union
League as part of the site for its
annex. Since then MCGOWAN conducted
business in SAMSON street west of Fif-
teenth. His home, however, was at
1911 Moravian street.
Mr.. MCGOWAN was a man of splendid
vitality and he worked every day. su-
perintending the restaurant until three

daughter, Mrs Young, expecting the

He failed steadily, however, and for the
last two days his end was a matter of
hours.
McGowan's place was the haunt Of
politicians and prominent men of the
sporting fraternity, the collection Of
pictures relating to sport being among
the finest extant. Denny" as the pro-
prietor was known to- all, was a lover
of a fine horse. and during the halcyon
days of the Gloucester track. in the
days of Duke Billy" Thompson, kept
his own stable.

George. also were prominent and pros

Every military stacker and every
Stacker workman in every war plant in

pressed into the military service In
grand "house-cleaning" planned by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder.
On the heels of walkout of workers
at Cramp's-a protest against employ

players, actors and others in shipbuild-
ing work--the Provost Marshal General
today issued new regulations covering
this and similar situations in other

plan.
Likely to Drop Probe
In view of the announcement. 1t was
believed here today that the Senate in

dropped.
General Crowder is now planning the
gigantic sweep that will send thousands

Piez said
Both industrial and military slackers

"housecleaning," and many will ex-
change their overalls and hammers for
khaki and guns virtually overnight, ac-
cording to the draft chiefs present pro-
gram.
No FrilIs on Induction
Military slackers will be ferreted out
and inducted into the service without

ployes in Service
1000 MEN WITH COLORS
5000 Relatives Are Affected.
City Spending 100000
Yearly in Support

More than 5000 dependents OF former
city employees who are now in the mill
tary service face a redu ton of so per
cent. and in many cases total loss OF
the income they now receive from the
city.
An appeal TO the State Legislature for
the repeal of legislation compelling the
city to pay the salaries of municipal
employees in the service is being con-
sidered by Mayor Smith. Joseph p.
Gaffney. chairman of Councils Finance
and John 7. Connolly. City
Solicitor. If this relief is obtained. an
ordinance will be prepared providing or
the reduction.
Present ordinances provide that de-
pendents OF municipal employees who en-
list or are drafted shall be paid the
difference between their salary at the
time of enlistment and the $50 month
paid by the Government. Dependents of
n man who got 500 a month are now
being paid $40 monthly.
Would Pay Half Difference
The proposed new ordinance would pay
nav and the Government pay. and only
dependent wives, children or parents
would be eligible to receive any money.
The bill would also stipulate that the
money be paid only to dependents. and
not to the man himself. Thus the man
having no dependents would receive
nothing.
More than 1900 men have left the city
employ to enter the service. In many
cases they enlisted because they felt
assured that the city allotment would
provide for their dependents. Others
we're drafted because the draft boards
ruled that families of selected men would
suffer no loss Of income,
Cost $500, 900 Year
It is estimated that the present ordi
nances cost the city 100000 year
and the sum probably will be increased
greatly by the new draft.
Some abuses have crept into the lib
eral policy of the city. chief amont
which is the fact that one city employ,
in the navy is drawing full pay boil
from the city and from the navy. An
other police official, who recently entered
the service as captain. is receivnt
$4,000 a year in excess of the $1,000 pai'

In normal days, when American visi-

In spite OF American hustle, a fairly
leisurely thing. 1t is the soldiers who

to be crammed into a day or two's

Impressions are mixed, in a week they

throw out ideas for those who have no

than one ground should counsel the
giving up of at least half day to out
