CITY GAINS BY
new ORDINANCE
ViOlatOrS of Liquor Law to be Tried
and Pay Fines Here Instead of
TO Government.
SENT TO PEORIA BEFORE
Measure VII be Strictly Enforced
by Authorities, Mayor Schrivcr
Says.

The real feature Of the newly
proposed city ordinance regarding
the disposition of all violatorsNof the
liquor law was explained by Com
missioner Rudgren today.
Hitherto when violator of the
law was nabbed-a bootlegger for
instance the latter was either
handed over to the federal authori-
ties and sent to Peoria fo1/a trial or
the charge of bootlegginE was cam
ouflaged under "disotderly con-
duct" and the fine under the latter
arrangementswe went to the city. How
ever, so MANY cases have piled up
recently and so many more are ap-
parently in the making that it was
deemed advisable to continue the
present arrangement Hence the
new city ordinance by which all
bootleggers and any other liquor
violators are specifically charged by
the city with the .offense. The min
imum amount a violator can De
fined is $25 while the maximum is
5000

EDUCATOR ADVOCATES
SCHOOL SURVEY HERE
Secretary of Association De-
clares Obvious Evils Show
Need of Thorough Inquiry

Survey Of Philadelphia schools Is
urged by Bruce NJ. Watson, secretary
of the Public Education and Child La
Dor Association, Withcrspoon Building.
"Some statements" he said today,
"can be accepted as facts; for example.
that more than 10000 school children
are constantly on part time owing to
lack Of school rooms; that last year
a constantly changing group Of school
children, averaging 5000 in number,
were without teachers; that there is
pulling and hauling and distrust be-
tween the school board and its en-
ploycs, and between thc different
branches of the school service; that
many school buildings are unfit for
use; that results of school work are
appalling; that things are going from
bad to worse.
''On the other hand, there are high
spots even in this educational morass.
A school system that developed men like
DIR. William l.. Lewis and Dr. Al
bert Lindsay Roland-good enough to
be chosen from all the country for
important positions in the cabinet of
Commissioner Thomas Il. Finegan-
must be superior at least in places"

Sufficient evidence was presented at the
convention, Mr.. Tyler said, to warrant
such action.
Thomas r. ONeiIl, newly elected
president OF the Ancient order OF III

society would ask the Irish members
in the Legion to withdraw their mem

Robert Lansing, American secretary

The report, it is understood. while
fixing the moral responsibility, fails
to find the legal responsibility, because
there is no precedent or law goern-

to try the accused, if the legal guilt
were found to be eident
