ON VICE SITUATION

With Daniels
MAY TAKE WORK OVER
Official Intimates Federal Au-
thorities Have Given Up
Depending on Mayor

Lieutenant Colonel Charles Il. Hatch,
Philadelphia. is in Washington today to
confer with Secretary Of the Navy Dan.
iels on the local vice situation.
Before going to Washington. Colonel
Hatch intimated that the Federal au-
thorities were through trying to obtain
clean city with the help of Mayor
| Smith, Director Wilson and Superin-
tendent of Police Robinson, and would
shortly institute a campaign Of their own
TO insure a clean municipality for re-
turning sailors and soldiers
There has been no change of policy
on the part Of Secretary Daniels" Col
onel Hatch Is quoted as saying. 'As his
representative, | conferred with Mayor
Smith regarding the return of Mr. Rob-
inson to the same powers he exercised
before his entering the military service
Since the suggestion of the Government
has seemingly been ignored. there is
nothing more to be said Action along
lines satisfactory TO Secretary Daniels
must be the move In the program of
the Government to preserve the morale
OF the returning men.
To Talk with Daniels
II will take the matter up personally
with Secretary Daniels when reach
Washington. Until after the conference
with Secretary Daniels, of course
cannot discuss the subject in any way
further than to repeat that the Federal
Government is in earnest in its determi-
nation to adequately protect all enlisted
men from vicious influences"
Federal action will be taken in
anticipation of the landings of discharged
troops at this port. Information received
at the Chamber of Commerce indicates
that several troopshlps have already
sailed for France with this city as their
objective. Secretary Daniels Is under
stood to have written to Mayor Smith
apprisng him of this fact.
The Rev. DR. Carl r. Grammer and
the Rev Dr. Edwin Heyl Delk, presi-
dent and chairman Of the war time com.
mission of the Interchurch Federatio
respectively. are preparing to vigorously
support Colonel Hatch in his effort to
wipe out the vice conditions which have
fourished under the protection of petty
political bosses.
Preparing Report
Doctor Delk Is preparing report of
the bombing incidents. compiled from in
vestigatons made by the same person
who secured the vice data which proved
to be of such incalculahle value to Col
onel Hatch in his work of cleaning up
the city.
The report Doctor Delk hopes, will
be ready for publication not later than
tomorrow.
