127SEEKPERM|TS
TO CARRY ARMS
Drastic Law Covering Pur-
chase and Sale Urged by
Maj. Pullman.


One hundred and twenty-seven per-
sons applied at police headquarters
yesterday for permission to go armed.
such permits are issued by the judges
OF the Police Court and not by police
officials, and applicants were SO in
formed. They are issued on written
application to the judges, the latter
requiring that showing be made to
satisfy them that the applicant is a
proper person to be armed and tina,
there exists necessity for such
arming.
Authority for the issuance of such
permits is found in the concealed
! weapon law of the District of Column
bia. which, in part, reads:
Text of Law.
THAT nothing contained in this sec
ton shall be so construed as to apply
to any person who shall have been
granted written permit to carry
such weapon or weapons by any judge
| OF the Police Court of the District Of
| Columb1a; and authority is hereby
given to any such judge to grant such
( permit for period of not more than
one month at any one time, upon
satisfactory proof to him of the neces-
| SHY LOT the granting thereof, and
further, upon the fling with such
judge of a bond, with sureties to be
approved by said judge, by the ap-
pl1cant for such permit, conditioned
to the United States in such penal
sum as said judge shall require for
the keeping of the peace, save in the
case of necessary self-defense by such
applicant during the continuance of
said permit, which bond shall be put
in suit by the United States for its
benefit upon any breach of such con-
| dition."
Drastic Law Needed.
| In conversation with a Star reporter
this morning. Maj. Pullman said the
recent use of firearms emphasizes the
necessity for a more drastic law
governing the whole question of buy
ing and carrying weapons. Several
bills dealing with the question have
been introduced in Congress, They
were sidetracked for some reason.
however, but it is said that recent
events probably will be the means of
inducing Congress to take early ac-

Saloons in this city are not selling

This statement was made today at

While scores of complaints have been
received at the Federal Building, giving
names and addresses Of alleged vio-

detectives working in conjunction with
the federal authorities, has failed to
produce a single violation. &.
Mr.. Kane said this afternoon that
he was astonished that the saloons
which remain open have adhered so

CITY TO KEEP DOPE RECORD
General Hospital to Determine Effect
of Prohibition on Habit

The relation of prohibition to the
dope habit will be under observation at
the Philadelphia General Hospital dur
ing the next six months.
Director of Public Health and Char
tiles Krusen has instructed the physi-
clans at the city institution to keep a
record OF every dope addict admitted to
the institution and to determine whether
the condition of the dope user is in any
way a reflection of prohibition.
Since July ! there has been a slight
increase in the number of morphine,
cocaine and heroin addicts admitted to
the Philadelphia Hospital, but the in
crease was so slight that no significance
is attached to it by Director Krusen.
Prohibition has not been in force for
a sufficient length of time to show any
effects at the hospital IL such re-
suits win follow, he said.

Vote on Bridge Loan
in November, Is Report

A permanent loan to be voted
upon in the November election will
be the method used to finance the
Philadelphia Camden bridge, ac-
cording to a report this afternoon
which Mayor Smith would neither
deny nor confirm.
Louis y. Spiclberger, chairman of
the joint bridge committee of the
Philadelphia and Camden Chambers
of Commerce. said that this method
was suggested in conversation he
had with Chairman Gaffney, of
Councils finance committee.
According to the report. the money
appropriated for the bridge would
be refunded from the loan, which
would be sufficiently large to under
take the first couple of years work
on the bridge. and, If popular loan
were f1oated, it would include funds
for water and other municipal i'm
provemcnts.

Washington, July 9.-The President
Of the nitcd States would not be per-

Il bill introduced today by Representa-
tive Campbell. of Kansas. chairman of
the House rules committee
Representative Campbell had prepared
Il lengthy address in which he sharply
criticized President Wilson for going
to Europe for the peace conference. but
unanimous consent for its immediate
delivery was refused by Representative
RlantOn. Democrat, Texas. Mr.. Camp
bell hoped to deliver the speech later
in the day. but in the meantime he
made it public in the form of a state
mCnt.
THE Presidents arrival in Europe" ,"
he said. was marked with the usual
attentions that have ever been given
to princes of the royal blood or to en-
pcrors with imperial power.
I'm Paris. in London, in Rome. every
art of the entertainer was exhausted
upon the President. lie approached royal
palaces amid the applause of the multi
tude he entered royal banquet halls in
ancient and regal professions; he was
wined and dined in royal state in every
capital he entered. He was tiattered with
every attention that mankind can give
to man. He liked it all.
The statesmen OF other lands, intent
upon the welfare of their countries. art :
fully led him to see their countries
needs. lie was easily bcguiled into as
suming the role that had been carefully
created for him.
1.-THE government and people Of the
United States are to pay for all these
hOnOred attentions in the years to come.
/ THE President wanted a league OF
| nations it was given to him. Those
| who sat with him at the peace table
wanted to add more territory to their
! domains; wanted more friendly harbors
at the doors of teeming millions at the
ends of the paths they controlled on the
sea wanted dominion and control over
( smaller and weaker nations: wanted in
dempity for the losses they sustained
| in the war; wanted security and pres
tige for their government and people
= for future wars, and wanted the I nited
I States to share the burden of policing
Europe and maintaining the boundaries
of their nation, and they got what they
wanted.
NO country can safely permit its
chief executive to intrude himself into
! the domestic affairs of another cOun
try. When the President of the United
States, in France, in England and in
Italy, mistook the royal reception he
had received from those in high places
and the applause that was given him
by the multitude for an invitation tc
become their political master he lost hi,
own prestige and that of his country.

of the United States to their former

100000 ADEQUATE
FOR PEACE JUBILEE
Sum Sufficient If Plan Has Civic
Support, Declares
Guenther
WOULD BOOM INDUSTRIES

It was brought to the attention Of J.
Jardcn Gucnthcr. secretary of the wei
come home committee, today that the
500, 900 city appropriation would be
adequate to meet the expense Of the
peace Jubilee and furthermore. thnt tho
industrial value of the celebration to
the city is being apparently overlooked.
at was pointed out TO me that tho
500, 600 appropriation of tho city
toward tho celebration of tho peace
Jubilee is sufficient adequately to meet
the cost. " said Mr. Gucnthcr.
That We still have Sl5O, 900 worth
Of grand stands standing and from
$1,000 to S1j. 900 worth of decorations
left over from the Twenty eighth pa
rado. That even if We only are able to
get 500 900 and no more it is possible
for us to have a 5000. 900 to $3.50 900
show.
II believe that we can meet small
additional expense provided we hav"
the cooperation of the various city
associations.
In view Of the statement of Mr..
Widener. that $3.50. 900 is the sum
needed. there was also brought to my
notice the suggestion that the apparent
industrial value of such celebration
to the city has been overlooked. and |
hone to bring tho suggestion to the AT
touton of the committee at the next
meeting. 1t is this: That the industries
of Philadelphia and the vicinity have
doomed to a vast extent during the
war. With tho coming of peace thcS"
industries have suddenly ceased because
the wartime demand ceased.
Would Draw Business Men
"Aud now in peace time the owners
of these industries are casting arounG
for somewhere to place their work.
1T can be readily understood that
business men from all over the United
States and Canada will flock to Phila .
dplphia for the Jubilee. And what bet
ter way, it has been suggested, could
there be for our great industries to
advertise by pageautry and parade how
much Philadelphia can do, and how
much cheaper she can 90 it, with her
wonderful port and railroad facilities.
: "Of course. it is generally believed.
from the purely sentimental point of
views that Philadelphia. because Of its
/ earliest tradition, is the place for "A
formal recognition Of the great peace.
/ The. history centered about lndcppnd -
cncp Hall and Valley Forge makes
/ Philadelphia the most desirable local
ity. And if the world peace is passed
up by Philadelphia, it may be to its
everlasting shame
