sure. This is also true Of registrars.
/ do not think that il is generally
known that the board has made il Il
rigid rule never to appoint registrar
to act for the Republican party who
had previously been Democrat.
The inspectors thus far appointed
have been working for a week quietly
and without publicity. Up TO the pres
cnt nothing has been published con
crrning their activities. Indeed, there
arc those who fancicd that the board
had overlooked the question of election
inspectors.
After the Repeater
Commissioner Woodruff is of the
opinion that the professional repeater
aud the unscrupulous ward worker are
under surveillance as was never known
before. He predicts that the way of
the political transgressor this fall will
be very hard.
Thus far the board of commissioners
has received requests for inspectors
to investigate the First, Second. Twen-
ty sixth and Thirty ninth wards. The
Forty seventh ward should also be in
cludcd in the list.
From one saloon in the latter ward
it was reported that six men were reg
istered. The bartender affirmed that
the resignation was correct; that the
men were asleep and could not be dis
turbed. The inspectors found that
there was only one bedroom in the
house: that it contained one bed, AM, ,
moreover. that the room was tenuntless
In helpless confusion the barkcepcr de-
cIared that the six men all slept in the
one bed.
Another complaint concerned some
old hotels in the Sixth ward. which
were said to have an excessive number
of guests who had registered. The in
speCtors discovered that the full mum
Der registered kas correct and that the
registration was legitimate.
The "hying squadron is not only
unique in Philadelphia politics. but |
thing it will be II decidedly ugly clc-
mcnt for the falss registration and
crooked election rogue to encounter.

BY the Associated Press

Boston, Sept. Immediate resump-

was advocated here today by Elbert H..
Gary, chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the United States Steel Cor
porstion. in an address before the an
nual meeting Of the American Bar AS
sociation.
Mr.. Gary declared the majority Of
the American people were in favor OF
the peace treaty and the league of ma
tions. and predicted both would b"
sdoptpd without material change.
Re establishment Of trade with the
central powers was urged on the ground
that we need their goods, and also that
such ,urchaScs would tend to stabilize
international exchange.
As further means TO restore the in
tcrnationaI business situation. Mr..
Gary declayed that the United States
'should finance other deserving Coun-
tries. less fortunate. in rehabilitating
their productive capacity and resources
and that we should purchase their prod

New Board on the Job
Not so the new board.
It boldly announced this morning
that It assumes all responsibility for
the registrars it has appointed. They
must not only be on the job, but they
must be on the job all the time during
the hours designated by law.
Itsanswers to no politicians whistle.
| It comes and goes at no political mas
| ter's beck and call. 1t follows no di
rection al the jerk of an official thumb.
That is what the Board of Registration
Commissioners tell me and l believe
them.
Under the new registration law the
board is empowered to appoint inspec
tors without limit. II is their business
to investigate fraud and error and locate
witnesses. For a week past the board
has had its inspectors operating quietly
in precincts where political rottennpss
was suspected or had been discovered.
But something more was needed.
Then came the Flying Squadron.
1t is. think, the offspring of the
brain of two men. Il. Lawrence Fell,
chairman of the board, and Clinton
Rogers Woodruff. present member and
chairman Of previous board.
The "Flying Squadron" is composed
of a compact body Of inspectors. In
reality they are detectives and under
orders all the time. They start in
vrstigations at any moment, in any
part of the city. where violations of
registration laws are reported.
They travel in small squads. work
rapidly and by a division of labor ac-
romplish in few hours what would
reQuirr a single inspector several days
10 clean up.
NOnpOliticaI Members
4 striking feature is that this squad
ron is not made uD of political ap-
Doiutees. It is specially selected body
of men under the personal direction of
Mr.. Fell. The identity of many of it's
members is unknown to the rest of the
board.
The purpose Of this is to relieve mcm-
hcrS of the board from political i'm
portunity and pestoring demands for
appointments. The members of the
board suggest uames. but after their
examination and they are sworn into
Office the disposition of the force by
mutual consent of the members of the
board is placed in the hands Of Mr..
Fell.
Inspectors are not appointed to work
in any particular division. They cor
rect error or uncover fraud anywhere
in the city.
Mr.. FCII is using this flying squad
ron with great discretion. Its work is
apart from factional favoritism, either
Ware organization or Republican AlIi-
ancc.
Commissioner Woodruff assures ne
that the boards inspectors have no con
ncction with politics. Factions are not
recognized in their work. 1t is impressed
upon them that it is their business to
get the facts. and the men, too. no
matter who they may be.
Cur aim above everything else is to
obtain a square registration and a fair
! election said the commissioner.

Diverse Throng of Digni-

Procession Prior to I'M
pressive Cathedral Service
Flowers in Profusion
Favorite Hymn Sung Dur
ing Episcopal Rites; In
terment in Crypt Private

With all the honor that the Church
could pay him, Bishop David II. Greer
was laid to rest yesterday morning. An
impressive service was held in the
Cathedral of St John the Divine. 1t
was attended by possibly the most di-
verse throng of Church dlgnltaries ever
assembled in New York church. The
cathedral was filled to ovcrfowing
Hundreds stood on the nave founda-
ton outside and listened TO the service
through the open doors.
Shortly before it started the casket
in which the body of the Bishop had
lain in state was taken from the am
bulatory behind the altar and placed in
the centre of the presbytery. On it
rested the Bishops hoods and his Bible
A huge sheaf of lilies of the-valley
lay alongside. Eucharistic candles
profusion Of flowers throughout the
church, with crosses of white roses
resting against the altar. On the pull
pit lay large bouquet Of violets and
on each of the choir stalls there was
wreath. A cross of pink roses rested
at the foot of the Bishops chair. The
steps leading into the sanctuary were
banked with flowers.
600 in Funeral Procession
The funeral procession, headed by
the choir, formed in the old Synod
Hall, marched across the nave founda-
ton into the cathedral and up the
centre aisle into the presbytery and
chancel. The American flag was borne
by an acolyte among the boys of the
choir. In the procession OF GOO church
dignitaries were most of the clergy
men of the Episcopal Diocese of New
York and representatives of churches
of other denominations. Conspicuous
in the procession were the gorgeously
robed representatives. Of the Greek and
Russian Orthodox churches. They en-
tered toward the end of the process
sion, along with htc cathedral clergy
and the fifteen bishops of the Episco-
pal Church.
The Right Rev. Joseph NJ Francis.
Bishop Of Indianapolis, opened the
service with an Introductory reading
as the clergy we're assigned their
places. This was followed by the sing
ing of the Goth Psalm, Lord, Thou

Record OF Sea Viem
Good, C0Ier Insists
Charities Commissioner Saws
That Staten Islanders Object
TO Haring Hospital There

Borough President Van Names at
tack on Sea View Hospital. at Castle
ton Corners, Staten Island, is moth
ing more or less than a manifestation
of the opposition to the location Of an
institution for tubercuars on Staten
Island. which has been evidenced re-
peatedly by the people of that place, y
Commissioners Bird S. Coler Of the De-
pawment Of Charities. which operates
Sea View. declared yesterday.
Mr.. Van Names charges that not a
single patient afflicted with tubercuio-
SIS OF the lungs RECEIVERS in that insti-
tuition IS untrue, according 10 the Com
missioner, who gave statistics purport-
ing to show that of the 2,0Gl cases
handled at Sea View during 1918. a
total Of 1924 were discharged, which
means, said Mr.. Coler, that their cases
are arrested or "as nearly cured as it
IS possible to effect a cure of tubercu-
losls.' Only 324 tuberculars died at
Sea View last year. the Complissioncr
said. thus making the death rate a
"trlhc over Is per cent"
Concerning Mr. Van Names state
ment that statistics given out bv the
>"o' i''VS bepdI Lncnl included only
those on cases OF bone tuberculosis.
the Commissioner said that fully 90
per cent of the cases mentioned in
his statistics were those of pulmonary
tubcrculars.
Health Commissioner Royal S.
Copeland declared that if Commits
sioncr Coler is keeping his death rate
down to Is per cent he is doing "a
fine, laudable piece of work, worthy of
the highest recommendation. Many
institution caring for advanced cases
OF tuberculosis have death rates as
nigh as 80 per cent.'
