To Make PHILADELPHIA
Dry, Is u. S. Threat
[Staf Correspondence

PHILADELPHIA, April 7.-Slecpy
and slow Philadelphia, famed from
coast to coast for its unsophisticated,
humdrum and unexciting life, has ex-
ceeded the Federal speed laws.
There must be more than mere ru-
NOR in the report that unless this city
reforms, and reforms quickly, it will
become as dry as the great Arizona
Desert. The government, the report
goes, has given an ultimatum to the
Philadelphia police authorities threat
ening to establish Federal "dry zones"
so effectively that it will be impossible
to get drink without first getting on
train or a ferryboat for the purpose.
Philadelphia's offence has not been a
mild one. if the report Of Federal in
vestigators is to be believed. These
agents not only found a number Of
vicious resorts, whose chief activity
was preying upon the. youth of the
armed defences of the country who are
stationed in and near the city, but they
published the addresses of the resorts,
together with an indictment of the po-
lice, who they said, were corrupt and
were accepting "protection" money.
For time this had its effect. Warn
ings were sent to the occupants of the
resorts and they went into retirement.
put along came the government with
the information that other resorts were
fourishing and that they also must be
closed. These addresses the authori,
lies refused to divulge. They insist
the police know Of them and should
close them.
If they do not-and here the rumor
appears-the government purposes to
step in and enforce the fve-mile limit
about every piece of Federal property
within this vicinity. Government prop
erty is so plentiful here that Phila-
delphia, should this action be taken,
would be bone dry, excepting in the re-
mote outlying districts.
This threat had its effect last night
in the raiding Of three resorts and a
demonstration of some efficiency by the
police, but conditions arc not yet as
good as the government proposes to
have them---not even approximately
and the prohibition bogey will continue
to stalk here until that point is
reached.

Fifth Mrs. Goodwin
Seeks Divorce, but
Nat Will Fight It

Along Broadway yesterday they said
that Nat Goodwin is getting ready to
give New York a brand new sensa-
ton. They said that Nat Goodwin is

On that day, so the gossip afiirms,
while Nat was sitting in his dressing
room at the Astor Theatre, waiting to
go and ask the audience why marry,
anyway, a summons was served On him

Bingham Estate
Fight Adjusted
In Kentucky

lntra-famlly controversies that led to
tho recent sensational charges regard
ing the death OF Mrs Robert w. Bine
ham, widow Of Henry Flaglcr, have
been adjusted, say advices received last
night from Lexington. Ky.
The bulk of the $G5,741.552 estate
will 60 to Mrs. Bingham's niece. Mrs
Laurence Lewis, of Cincinnati and New
York, and there is to be no contest of
the bequest $4,000, 900 to Judge Rob-
ert Worth Bingham.
This arrangement has been decided
vpon after frequent conferences be-
tween those interested and their rep
rescntat!vcs. Kentucky will get be-
tween $2,000,000 and $4,000. 900 in in
hcritance taxes.
One Of the most sensational issues
ever raised in this country is disposed
of by the amicable settlement. After
Mr.: Flaglcr's death his widow married
Judge Bingham. q prominent Kentucky
lawyer, on November Is, 1916. The
wedding took place at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Pembroke Jones, East Sixty
first Street, this city.
Judge Bingham had entered into a
prenuptlal agreement limiting his
share of the estate to S5,O00,o0O. When
Mrs. Bingham died, on july o. last
year, it was found her viii left the
bulk OF the estate to Mrs. Lewis and
%5,ooo,o00 to Judge Bingham.
Hardly he'd Mrs. Bingham's body
been buried in North Carolina than it
WAS cNhumed at the bchest of rcla-
tivcs. The vital organs were brought
to this city for examination by DR..
Charles A. Norris at Bellevue Hospital.
Friends Of Judge Bingham protested in
vain.

ened to put on the market here the
wool that he had stored for the Ger
mans.
Mr.. Becker says that this was pri-
vate quarrel and that Mr.. Forstmann's
motive was not his agreement with the
Textile Alliance. The German Foreign
Office in letter to Won Bernstorff
called Forstmann & Huffman "this
pure German firm"
The report intimates that some Of
Forstmann's wool was bought for the
German government by a German stock
corporation known as the le-Kriege-
Bedarf, which. literally translated, is
"Wool War Supply. Inc"
Investigation Of the affairs Of
Charles j. Webb e. Co., Of Philadelphia
showed that this firm acted as dummy
for Forstmann and Huffman when the
latter feared that his own shipments
would not get through.
The British government, the report
stated, has asked for the result of the
investigation as it concerns British
colonial firms implicated. In no case
did Mr.. Becker find evidence warrant
ing q charge of trading with the enemy.

Shoes and Ships
And Sealing Wax

Some day the men of a certain sub
marine chaser are going to meet again
the little boy who gave them the "col-
lege pup" They would rather do bat
tie with the proudest dreadnought that
rules the Kiel Canal.
For the college pup" Is dead
| buried with naval honors at sea, and a
score Of young seamen are wondering
! how they will ever have the courage to
tell the little boy.
They met him first at the entrance
to the Brooklyn navy yard. There he
stood, shabby and determined, and in
his arms d woolly collie puppy, with
the gravest CT face and an unQuench~
abic ambition to wash his master 5
visagc thoroughly with his own pink
tongue.
The boy guIped as the sailors ap-
preached, and then did his bit bravely.
Hey, sailor! Want a dawsy?'' he
asked.
Now. this certain submarine chaser
was without mascot. They had had
an owl, but he flew away, and cat
but he scratched the cook and disar-
peared wherefore the men had qualms
when they ate for several days there
after. They did want 4 dog.
"He's a college puppy, guess the
little boy explained, 50 he hanccd him
over. Hes awful nice dawg.' he
added wistfully as they bore him away.
for he learned fast during the time
the chaser was out on it, coastwise
beat. They christencd him Bob. and
he learned to answer to his name, play
dead, salute the flag with soprano
yelps and other things usually beyond
one Of his years.
When the chaser tied up at the yard
again, and the first men went ashore,
there at the navy yard gate, a small fig
ure waited.
"Is my--your- dawg all right?" he
wanted to know.
For an hour thereafter the little boy
was where he could look down on
heaven, while his--their-dog did tricks
for his benefit
At last he gathered the puppy up in
his arms, buried his face in the fluffy
fur, dropped him almost roughly and
ran away. 1t wouldn't have done to
show emotion before the sailors Of the
American navy.
Perhaps it was the intensive educa-
ton that told upon the brain of one so
young, or it may have been something
else, but during the next cruise the
college pup began to have fits, and
after one lingering one, which fate de-
creed should seize him directly under
the gaze of the commander, it was de-
creed that he should be shot
No one will tell who fred the bullet
that ended the bright career of the
college pup almost at its beginning.
A dozen Of them worked a canvas
shroud for the pathetic little body. and
four husky blue jackets, very solemn
to the rail and dropped it oversize. So
passed Bob. the college pup.
And if you should pass the Brooklyn
navy yard and see a sailor sneaking in
or cut Of the Sands Street gate as
thoug, he had just broken the entire
decaloguc, you viii krow that it IS q
member of the crew Of a certain sub
marine chaser drcading the possible
appearance of little boy.

pieces, according to the detective. He
believed that microscopic examination
would reveal glass powder.
The glass was SO placed that it would
not be detected by straight cut

cuts revealed it.
Hart said he purchased the rolls at a.

tanned them from a wholesale firm. His

Thirteen new cases of glass in food
were reported in Brooklyn yesterday,
and United States Marshal JAMES NJ.
Power and city detectives began an in
vestigation in the Brownsville district.
Marshal Power announced that he
had visited the bakeshop whose prod
uct had furnished two Of the cases No
enemy aliens were employed there, he
said, and the bread was mixed by hand
by several kneadcrs, so that if glass
were put in during the kneadng it
probably would be detected
In addition to the Brooklyn cases, six
new complaints were reported to the
Department of Justice yesterday.
Eleventh Case in The Bronx
The spread Of the epidemic in The
Bronx has caused District Attorney
Francis Martin to issue subpGnas for
the appearance of a number Of whole
sale and retail bakers and miller
before The Bronx grand jury for an
investigation.
The eleventh case in The Bronx was
reported last night. This case, the po-
lice report, is incxplicable, except on
the theory that glass has been delib-
eratcly put into the bread and the
fact that the epidemic apparently
moves from one part Of the city to an
other is believed to indicate that the
person or persons who are causing it
are moving, too.
