Little Bunny" Blake. whose mother
is accused of drowning him, was well
known and we'll beloved in the neigh =
torhood of his home when the family
lived Mt 100 East Gowen avenue, Ger
mantown.
The child, with his winning ways and
bright face. was known to all the lit
tic children, and despite his inability
to talk, according to neighbors,. always
managed to make himself understood
and get along with the others. Bunny
was q mute.
Mrs. p. c. Matthews, who lives at
10 East Gowen Il u;enue, told this after
noon of the great love that James
Blake Sr. bore for the little boy.
The child's $ infirmily seemed to draw
him closer to his father she said.
I'VE did not know much about the
Blakes, but no one could help noticing,
each morning as Mr.. Blake left to go
to his Office. how the child would run
out into the street and wave and wave
and wave. until he could see his father
no longer
"Mr. Blake in turn, would wave back
Mt the child until he had gone so far
along the street he could no longer be
seen.

MAY DELAY RAIL RETURN
Congress Not Expected to complet
LEGISLATION by Christmas

Washington, Dec. 15.-(By A. P.)---
President Wilson has not indicated when
he will send a message to Congress on
the railroad situation, White House
officials said today. The President still
has before him the report of Director
General Hines. of the railroad admins
traton. on the pending Cummins and
Esch bills.
Administration officials say that If
the President has changed his mind
about returning the roads to private
operation by January ] he has not
communicated it to his advisers. 1t is
conceded now that Congress cannot
complete railroad legislation before the
Christmas recess and in the light of
this officials generally expect that gov
ernment control will be continued until
after the first of the new year.

LIQUOR MEN HERE
T0CONT|NUEF FIGHT
President of Retail Dealers Says
Some Action Will Be
Taken
GLOOM IN ClTYS SALOONS

James II. Pearson. president of the
Retail Liquor Dealers Association,
when told Of the decision of the Su-
preme Court declaring the wartime
liquor act constitutional said:
"The decision is a great disappoint-
ment to the liquor dealers of Philadel-
phia.
But we will not give up the fight.
We will continue our efforts to resume
business, but what the next step will be
cannot be told at this time.
1--WE had hoped to be allowed to sell
our stocks before the prohibition
amendment goes into effect in January.
Many saloonkeepers would be satisfied
if they were given Il chance TO dispose
Of the stocks they have on hand and
get back the money they have invested.
1--WE still hope that something can be
done to relieve these men who have put
their capital into liquors thinking they
could continue business at least until
the time arrives for the enforcement of
the amendment.
Fell Like ThunderbOlt
1T fell like thunderbolt.' said one
saloonkeeper today,
Constitutional. eh?" said dsap-
pointed bartender who had been getting
his arm in shape for good news. "Who
put the CON in that word?'
/ Around the cafes in the central part
of the city scores of thirsty patrons
/ who had been tolerating near beer. not
/ quite beer and nearly zero beer, almost
/ burst into tears when the bier of beer
was announced via Washington.
Smiles turned to frowns in the
twinkling of an eye when the news
| filtered into several of the popular re-
sorts.
Even the platoons Of tinted cocktail
glasses seemed to lose some of their
CLINT as they noticed that the mirrors
cast unpleasant reflections.
They'll be raiding the candy stores
next" said one moody mixologist as
be cast an eye on the unleashed stock.
"We'll have to tie piece of crepe on
Billy Penn" said another, "stay in the
house on Sunday and live according to
the card index system"
"a Blessing" Says Doctor Forney
The Rev. DR.. w. B. Forney, pastor
of the Mt. Vernon Baptist Church
Manayunk, who is connected with the
Philadelphia Sabbath Association, said
''The Supreme Court could not have
done greater service for the country
than it has in making this decision
1t is one of the greatest blessings that
has come 10 the people.
