EFFORTS TO REVISE CODE

A regular meeting of the City
! Council was held August 9, 1889,
when E. E. Downham, Mayor, sent
communication to the city
fathers. He then (thirty years ago.
showed the necessity of an mined
late codification of the laws OF the
City Council.
The code of 1874 in operation at
that time is still the only one IN
existence in tangible form, and
during the fifteen years that had
followed many ordinances had been
adopted by Council, some virtually
superseding certain ancient laws OF
the city. Since 1889 many more
wears have followed. during which
the laws have been still farther
augmented, until it would tax a
Philadelphia lawyer to show what
are the actual ordinances OF the
city.
Most of the "code" at present
consists of numerous fragments IN
the shape of pamphlets the size OF
small tracts. which should long ago
have been cclatcd and bound into
one volume.
Occasionally, after long intervals
Council becomes enthusiastic IN
movements for the immediate codi-
fication of the laws. Several years
ago the city fathers took steps to-
wards having this long needed work
accomplished; but. so far as We car
learn. nothing tangible has been &C
complished.
"A long time ago. when the late
Thomas Risheil was a member o!
the Board of Alderen. the gen
.lemen then acting as Corporation
Attorney had the famous hay
SCALES" case submitted to him. This
issue was in reference to certan
claims of the city against parties
who owned property IN Market ai'
lev where in the olden time the
hav scales were located. Many
months elapsed but no report was
submitted by the attorney. The lat.
Ter entered the Aldermen's cham.
Der one night during lull in the
proceedings, when Mr.. Rlsheil'
arose and, with a sober face, stated
that the matter Of the hay scales

his utmost to increase production IS
a Stacker in the greatest warfare
of history; war to save the world
from anarchy and poverty and star
vation;l war to save civilization
from barbarism.
1.-The man who is Stacker and
producer at such an hour as
this is helping to starve women and
helpless babies.
"But sinful as is the man who Is
now non producer, infinitely worse
is the man who adds to his own sin
of idleness the crime of trying by
force to keep others from work.
He is double criminal. Whatever
right man may have had in the
past to quit work, surely in this
awful day of world chaos no man
has any more moral right to be idle
than able bodied men had to be
slackers and towards when the ma
ton called them to its colors. More-;
over. when he seeks to maltreat
others who wish to work he be-
comes more despicable than the de-
serter or the traitor. The latter was
a traitor to his country, while the
man who adds to his own ldleness
this other crime, is not merely a
traitor to his own country, but he Is
a traitor to all civilization.
"rhcrefore, we hereby reafflrm
orr oath of office and will give pro-
lection to every man who desires to
work. and will suppress every sign
Of lawlessness if it takes the entire
army of the United States and
every volunteer who might be- called
into service.
Ne man shall by threats or m
t;midation be kept from work. and
every man who is guilty of such IN
tjmid;tion will be treated as Il Grim
inal and to this there will be no eX-
ception. No supposed political IN
fluence, no appeal to the labor splr-
It, will save the guilty ones from
,.unishment: law and order shall be
maintained.

stupid, unreliable and dishonest
leadership may lead them in the
wrong way. The strike Of police
men, as exemplified by the Boston
affair. caused revuls!on Of sent
mcnt in all parts Of the United

that it was wrong. Most Of them
felt that the policeman who mutt

duty, stands. on. a lower Level ,l4 tia than
that Of the professional ls|vbreak-
er. Such policeman ranks with
the soldier who mutinies IN the face

signed to the same pit of oblivion.
an the same way those who
, would institute strikes that deprive
the roor and the helpless OF the nee
|.essaries of life are no better than
criminals. The Governor OF New
York is man who knew the mean
ing of poverty in his early days,
and he was in 4 position to tax
from the shoulder to the excited
and unreasonable men who were
about to issue an order that would
have meant misery and, perhaps
death to innocent victims.

seem great in themselves, but they

GIRL CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Sadie M. Potter, 10, Of Jamaica, Put I'm

Brattleboro, June l3-For several DAYS
this week Judge Fred B. Pier and States
Attorney L. W. Gibson have had under
consideration various matters of public
concern, among them the forgery of GER
tain checks. The checks passed as genu-
inc, but on their return to the bank
their spurious nature was detected.
Evidence gathered appeared to indi-
cate that the checks were issued in ia
maica, and as result Miss Sadie M.
Potter Of that town is under bonds of
$500 TO appear at the September term
of the Windham county court at New

Miss Potter is l6 years old, daugh-
ter of Herbert Potter. She was arrested
by Sheriff Frank L. Welman and at a
hearing before Acting Judge Clarence M.

WILLARD-DEMPSEY
SENTIMENT SHIFTS
One Day 1t Is for the Champion and the
Next Day 1t Is for the Challenger
Willard Is Training His
Fat Down.

Toledo, Ohio, June l3.--With the fight
between Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey
set for decision three weeks from to-day,
sporting authorities are at loss to Sc
lect their favorite.
Sentiment seems to change every day.
Willard, after an impressive workout,
may become the favorite one day, but
the next may find sentiment switching
to his challenger.
Willard is finishing the second week Of
training here and, in the opinion Of ex.
perts, he will be in first-class condition
within two weeks His wind is improv-
ing rapidly and the fabbness of his legs
and upper arms is gradually hardening
into solid flesh and muscle. He is with
standing the afternoon sun better than
any members of his training retinue.
He finished the workout yesterday as
fresh as when he started, while his spar
ring partners were painting for breath.
Dempsey is eager to resume his boxing,
but must wait another day, as the skin
forming over his damaged eye is still too
tender TO permit any rough work. Jack
Kearns viii not allow him to put on the
gloves until Sunday
A young giant named Ketchel, recently
discharged from the naval service, was
due to join Wizards staff of sparrng
partners to-day. He weighs l92 and
fights like Dempsey.
Willard has drawn the color line in his
training. He has refused to have negro
sparTing partners in camp.
"When | drew a color line after my
contest with Johnson he said, Il in
tended to observe it as long as ! re-
manned champion. ! am convinced that
bouts between white men and negroes
have done more harm to boxing than
any single factor"

Paris June l3.-The British have made
an 18th hour attempt TO reopen the
question of reparations They have sub
mitted proposals introducing into the
functions of the PREPARATIONS commission
the principle Of control of raw materials,
etc, furnished Germany, enabling the
commission TO control Germany's eco
monte development during the period it
operates.
The British effort has not met with a
sympathetic reception by the PREPARATIONS
commission, to which it was referred. 1t
seems probable that the proposals viii be
accepted, but they constitute one of the
causes Of the delay of the reply to the
Germans, which it was rumored to-day
probably would not be presented until
Monday
The peace treaty with Germany will
be entirely rewritten and reprinted for
the Incorporation textually of the expla-
nations and Qualifications contained in
the allied reply to the German counter
proposals.
While unchanged in principle, virtual
ly new document will be presented 20
the Germans II will be made public on
the day of its delivery or the day after.
The council of four decided that sim
ply to attach the reply TO the original
document was impracticable, as impor
tant clauses would be left obscure and
imperfect Hence the decision to re-
write the document.
1t was remarked in peace conference
circles to-day that this action would rem
der obsolete the text published in the
United States.
The question Of large amounts Of Brit
ish and French goods finding their way
into Germany from the occupied re-
gions has been raised in the supreme

made that some form of control be in

without the knowledge or consent Of the
Others.
