AFTER BEING SWORN
Independent Worker Questions
Right Of Senator to Vote From
South Broad Street Home

Senator Ware was challenged today
when he went to register at the polling
place Of the fifteenth division Of the
Thirty ninth ward, Snyder avenue and
Juniper street.
This was probably the first time his
right to register or vote in the division
had been questioned, and Ware adherents
stood aghnst. The challenge was made
by an Independent worker who Ques-
,ioned the Senator's right to vote there.
1t was generally believed Ware lived
in Amber.
Senator Ware maintains a residence at
2009 South Broad street. lie made an
affidavit that he was duly qualified to
register. Adherents of both factions
crowded around expecting an argument.
After making the affidavit Senator Ware
was permitted to register.
When questioned concerning the in

YES, l was challenged and | regis

MOORE IS CHEERED
AT POLLING PLACE
Tells Impromptu Reception Com.
mittee That He Will Clean
Out "Pestholes"

Congressman Moore received an ova-
tion from his ncighbors in the Fifth
ward when he registered today. lie
pledged himself, if elected. to ''clean
out pestholes" and generally improve
living conditions in the dictrict.
The congressman registered at the
polling place at Third and Cypress
streets. John +. Grady. veteran Judge
of the division; Joseph Ward and Louis
Raphiel. among others. welcomed the
candidate. John ]. Mccormick. di-
vision committeeman, was head of the
unofficial reception committee.
After Mr.. Moore had checked up as
being fifty FIVE years old, having lived
in the city thirty seven years. having
lived in the Ninth division, Fifth ward
for upwards of thirteen years, he turned
to Mccormick and said:
'llow are things going in the ward,
John?"
Fine, congressman, fine. The Fifth
ward Is going to do itself proud"
What pleases me most about these
river wards" said Mr.. Moore, "is that
while they were once the abiding places
of prominent citizens, many of whom
have moved away, there still remain in
the churches, schools and in politics
men and women who are willing to fight
for the old landmarks. and who do not
wish to be overridden by thuygery at
the polls.
"A Mayor who understands these con
ditions will have a fine chance to do
things down here that ought to have
been done years aeo. II get chance,
some of the pestholes that have con
tributed to bad living conditions will be
cleaned up and Fairgrounds for the
children and houses of comfort and rec
reatien will be provided for the adults"

Four distinct violations Of Law are
alleged in the second warrant which
has just been issued against the former
paying teller. He Is charged with
falsi6cation Of records, embezslement Of
papers, as an employe of the bank !;
larceny Of cancelled checks aggregating
the sum of 1896, 900, and with con-
spring to cheat and defraud by failure
to enter paid checks in the books Of
the bank.
The paying teller Is regarded az a
most important witness In several Of
the prosecutions that already have been
started and In the preparation Of others
under contemplation as q result Of the
bank crash. The exact amount Of his
own defalcations Is still a matter OF
speculation,

he was making with Eyre. for pOlitica
support? 1t seems to me that the inner
details of this coal story, known only
by Ware and Eyre, would be of con =
siderable interest to the taxpayers and
voters of Philadelphia.
THE senator's statement that he Wis =
tied me only three times is quite faulty
and is not consistent with the facts, {"
Mr.. MacLaughlin continued. He not
only called at my office. but sent for
me on many occasions, always in the
interest of some politician in the con-
tracing business.
Concerning political conditions in the
Forty fourth ward. Mr.. MacLaughlin' 3
home district. the director said the only
reason any one could have for calling
him Ware politician was the fact that
he had aligned himself with Ware poll
ticians and officehOlders to drive gam
blers. thugs and bootleggers out Of the
Forty fourth ward. who were there
under the protection of Penrose Nc
Nichol politicians.
No Mistake About Meaning
There could have been no mistake
about my meaning" Mr.. MacLaughlin
asserted. II used the incident to show
asserted.
''As Senator Ware has stated. had
been his friend for ten years. / never
knew much about Senator Ware save by
reputation up until four or five years
ago and never had direct dealings with
him until I was appointed director Of
this department. These dealings have
shown to me what Senator Ware really
is-a very shrewd politician with alb
solutely no regard for a mans reputa-
ton or future, who cares only for those
who will carry out his designs, whether
they be good or evil.
Mr.. MacLaughlin later continued.
MY experience in the last four years
has been a revelation to me and would
consider il a calamity for the city of
Philadelphia IL Senator Ware should
prove successful in his fight for con-
tinued political control. I am equally
convinced that IL Senator Penrose should
prove successful in having his selection,
Congressman Moore, made the Mayor
of the city that il would be merely de-
throning one boss and enthroning an
other, to the detriment Of the best in
terests of the city,"
Senator Ware said that his relations
with MFR. MaeLaughlin had always been
pleasant.
"There was never harsh word be-
tween Director MacLaughhn and me
until he sent Peter Hoban. the assistant
director. and others to see me to help
him run for Mayor. which l could not
do. My interview in reference to hose
contracts and the other contracts men
toned was absolutely correct and true,
