LANDMARK IN CITY OF PENN
Many Philadelphia Citizens WouIe
Deeply Regret the Passing of
Famous Old AIehouse.

Some Philadelphians of sentimental
and convivial turn are disposed to re
gard the possible advent of prOhibi
ton with gloomy mien, if for no other
reason than because it would near
the passing Of the Old Ale House. Oh
Drury street near Thirteenth.
1t is not age that gives flavor to the
Old Ale House. The legend on the
rusty signboard which states that II
was established by Mary MCCLELLAN in
1870 does not count for much in 8
city where many taverns can trace 9
direct lineage from the days of Penn.
1t is rather the garment of tradition
with which the old taproom has GOV.
cred itself.
It was there that this and that
heavyweight signed articles for an i'm.
mortal bout. 1t was there that poll.
.ticians hatched a celebrated deal
about which newspaper editorials are
still being written and public speeches
still being made. 1t was there that
many young genius found the inspi-
ration which changed him from a Boz
hemian hack to q successful author.
Over it all Mother" MCCLELLAN pre-
sided with a discipline at once gentle
and stern. The brawls were rare.
The Old Ale House is no less a land
mark than a sight. The visitor is usu-
ally taken there in the early after
noon, and while he sips the ale from
his mug the attentive guide recounts
the history, adding a line or two from
personal "reminiscences. The Ale House
seems to fit all moods and to attract a
variety Of minds. 1t is furnished in
mission wood after the fashion of the
English inns Of the eighteenth CEN
tury, but that is as far as an attempt
at atmosphere has been made.

Kathleen Norris gives an imaginary
conversation with young French girl
describing the coming of the American
soldiers to France as she is supposed
to remember it:
"'And men-tO stand beside our men
from America! l remember stand
ing in the chateau gateway on a bright
November afternoon and seeing them
come up the road. Soldiers! We were
used to soldiers! But these were diff
ferent. Grandmere was with me, we
had been here all the time.
""They came along, in the stream
ing afternoon sunlight, and they smiled
and waved at me.
"'"Tbey are the Americans !" Grand
mere said, and she began to cry softly.
"GOd bless them-GOd bless them - she
whispered, over and over.
''And that night, as you know, we
had their officers at the chateau and
one of them told me he, also, had a
daughter, not much younger than 1,
and that her name was Virginia

there were hard times, and dark times
ahead-but from that moment 1 felt
hope. Child that 1 was, seemed to
see behind those marching men the big
and generous nation that was dedicat
ing itself to their service, the women

GROWERS ARE HOPING FOR
$3O-TON TOMATO PRICE
GAMERS TAKE GROUND THAT
CANNED GOODS WILL DROP
Cooperation Sought Between Growers
and Packers to the End That Both
Can Make a Profit.

The executive committee of the Tri-
State Gamers Association met in
Hotel DUPONT Wednesday with the ex-
ecutive committee of the Tri-State
Growers, Association as their guests.
1t was in the nature of get-tOgether
meeting between the Gamers and grow
ers. About 35 persons were present.
Some of the growers are holding out
for $50 ton for tomatoes next year,
and this is the chief matter of discus
sion this afternoon. 1t was stated by
some of those present that growers
and Gamers cannot expect to make the
big profits in the next few years that
they have during the war. They said
a decrease might be expected in pro-
fits for several years to come. An
other member of the meeting stated
that eastern Gamers could not hope
to compete with the western Gamers
under conditions like last year, when
western Gamers obtained tomatoes for
SIS ton, while eastern men had to
pay $50 ton.
There was joint meeting of the
Tri-State Gamers Association and of
the Tri-State Growers Association in
Wilmington yesterday morning. Ad-
dresses were made by Judge COving-
ton, of Washington, who comes from
Talbot county, Md, and by Frank Gar
rell, secretary of the National Can
ners Association. Gamers and grow
ers from New Jersey, Delaware, Mary
land and Virginia were in attendance.

INDUSTRIAL.
 CONFERENCE
 READY TO ACT

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-After three days spent in organization, the industrial conference called by Presi- dent Wilson will come to a show down tomorrow on the business to be transacted
 Only brief session was held to- day, adjournment being taken to per init the groups representing capital, labor and the public to formulate such suggestions and proposals as they wish to submit for consideration. None was ready for submission today except the preamble of a resolution to be introduced by Charles s. Barrett of Georgia. representing the Farmers Union. The resolution wall demand a comprehensive national agricultural policy. The preamble asserted the farmer were not being given due con- sideration nthe present conference and the failure of any attempt to set tie national questions without the consent of the agricultural element of the population was predicted.
 Apparently with an agreed unan- unity faction not otherwise char acterizing the deliberations, the three groups refused to discuss specifically what was under discussion or what would be presented to the conference. Each group was understood to be ready with definite proposals on in dustrial problems affecting domestic peace, the labor group especially hay ing a complete program already for mulated, it was reported, but each seemingly was waiting to see what the others were going to do before showing its own hand.
 From the public group came the authoritative intimation that the members representing the innocent bystands" in the war between capital and labor were prepared to abandon the attitude of watchful waiting and benevolent neutrality which they at first thought was their best policy. Not only were several concrete pro. posals said to be in the making, but the group sent to the shipping board for documents dealing with the Amer ican and English shipyards arrange ments for adjusting wages and fore stalling strikes by means of perma- nent committees constantly consider ing grievances likely to cause indus trial disruption. The opinion is grow ing that the public group, led by Der nard M. Baruch as chairman, will not rest until the right and left divisions of the conference accept some for ward-looking proposal to allay unrest and maintain steady production.

 Encouraged by tAe patients pro- gress, Rear Admiral Grayson, the presidents personal physician, let him sit up in bed part of the day. but in- sisted on keping his attention as far as possible away from official busi- ness.

Engineers Presence
 Of Mind Prevents
 Fatal R. R. Wreck

DOUGLAS, Oct S.-The presence of mind of the engineer of the north bound passenger train on the Nacozari railroad, five kilometers south of Agua Prieta today, Rverted wreck, which had it occurred while the train was running at high speed probably would have resulted in a fatility. The lock was broken with rock on a switch lever and the lever moved over a few inches leaving an opening be- tween the main line and the siding suf- ficiently wide for the engineto take the siding, but not enough to make the target show the red danger signal. The engineer caught sight of the open switch in time to throw on the emer- gency brake and reverse the engine. The trains momentum was so great it could not be stopped before entering the switch and the engine and two cars were derailed, but did not over turn.
