CHARTER PASSES
BY 228-I VOTE
BIZ a stay Correspondent

harrisburg. June 1S.--Once more the
woodward charter bill which first an :
peared here last March, is IN to Gov
ernor Sproul, and only awaits his sig
nature to become a law.
The report of the conference com
mittee' to which the bill was sent for
minor amendments, was adopted by the
iiouse unanimously, and in the Senate
only Senator George Gray, contractor
from the northeast section of Philadel-
phla' voted against it.
Inc vote in the Senate on the con
ference report was: Affirmative, al:
negative, l. In the House the vote was
Affirmative, 1877: negative, O.
Senator Ware enlivened the proceed =
lngs yesterday by declaring the hill
would not hurt the Republican organiza
ton in Philadelphia.
lie cited the Simpson Kephart vote
IN the Supreme Court race last Novcm
Der to show that the Ware forces have
overwhelming control in the C;ty Of
Brotherly Love. The vote at that cleo
tioh' ne asserted, indicated that the
,a.e organization would elect a ma
Jorlty OF the twenty one councilmcn.
The fight on Philadelphia reform leg
lslation virtually ended when the con
terence committee agreed to certain
changes in the Daix Brady registration
ripper and the Daix and Woodward
election bills.
Senator Ware signed the report of the
conference committee. as he did on the
charter bill. The Daix Brady measures
will be acted on finally by the Assembly
as soon as the printed copies arc re.
ceived.
After four months of factional bick
cring and excitement over the charter
bill the end of the fight was nrosaic
enoug h. The Senate appeared anxious
to get rid of the measure. and so the
senator's listened impatiently to Sena
tor ware; In the House the vote was
taken in haphazard fashion, while many
of the members convcrsed with friends
or walked about the aisles.

1t is not considered likely that there
will be an effort to bring the Knox
measure technically before the Senate

of the foreign relations committee, re-
turns to the capital. The debate on
it will continue, however. Senator

ward leaders. Polling places can be
changed, but not with the celebrity and
! semi secrecy of the past; it will be with
the knowledge and consent of the major
| ity of the voters of the precinct. These
two measures alone will settle for years
to come vexing questions in Philadel-
phia municipal policies.
1t should not be forgotten, however,
that the purifying influences of these
measures can be turned into polluting
channels. If the high minded partisans
constituting the reform elements in the
political life of the city expect now to
rest supine upon their laurS, having
secured the passage of these important
bills, they will be committing a re-
grettable error. If they hope to over
throw the present dominant element with
all it Objectionable methods and per-
sonnel, they must now 60 to work with
unfagging zeal as they have never done
before.
The gauntlet was deliberately flung
at the feet of the new reform yesterday
by Senator Ware. 1t was a challenge
definitely issued. He read from a list
of official figures the election returns in
the late supreme court judgship con-
test. And the purpose designedly was
to show that the Ware influence holds
preponderating vote of two thirds to
! ne-third of the Republicans of Phila-
delphia. The comparison was between
the Ware vote solidly for Justice Simp-
son and that recorded for Judge Kep-
hart. In round nunbers it was 96, 600
for Simpson'and $4,000 for Kephart.
The cunning and unscrupulous device
of a dominant faction preempting the
name of good government reform or
other party title, will become a. thing
of the past under the new regime. The
Daix division preemption bill renders
this impossible.
No longer can precinct workers fake
an organization, sieze upon legitimate
party title and thus cut the support
from beneath the feet of rival organi
zation. Preempting party name in n
ward will cover every precinct. Reform
and good government workers, includ-
ing all and every objector can sail
serenely under their own flag so far as
fear of precinct robbery of their name
is concerned.
A still further bulwark against Illicit
election methods is reared in the Wood

the dump by Kelly reported conditions
bad there. They said that the OBJ
iectionablc refuse was placed on the
dump both by the Ware collectors and
residents of the ncighborhood.
Kelly then ordered the keeper of the
dump to enforce the health restrictions
against this practice, and posted warn
ings to the offending houscholders. Chief
Nogclson said today that before the
nuisance can be entirely abatcd, house
holders must be made to understand
that garbarge will not be taken up when
placed in the same receptaclcs with
ashes.
Unless the dump is cleaned up ut
once, and the bad sanitary situation
rcmedicd said Director Krusen, he will
close the dump for the summer. There
is precedent for such action on his part,
he said.

Wanamaker Speaks

| Wanamaker speaks
John Wanamaker, president of the
military college, conferred the degrees
at the exercises. In an address to the
fourteen graduates that rang with pa
triotsm and loyalty to the American
flag, he said:
america is not what society is, but
what the individual is."
In praise of President Wilson he said :
LET us not be discouraged about
the time 1t has taken the President
and his conferees to arrive at peace.
If there is any chance that might give
Germany a loophole-if it takes five
more years to do it. we will not con =
cede any undue point"
In discussing loyalty to the American
! flag, Mr.. Wanamaker said:
The flag has new meaning and a
new light 1t is a glorifcd thing that
America has and it is felt all over the
world. There is no flag in the world as
wonderful as the little flag you could
hardly see ten years ago.
"We are emerging from a waste of
money and n waste of lives
In speaking of america for Amer
leans" Mr.. Wanamaker said he can =
not see how Americans can be made
out of Dutchmen or Russians who can =
not speak the English language"
Joking with the graduates, Mr..
Wanamakcr said he hoped they would
not remain bachelors any longer than
need be. The graduate cadets had been
awarded bachelor degrees.
"Thcre is a place in the world for
each man," Mr.. Wanamaker told the
graduates, "and many are not rs quail :
fled as you are. The new world of
America will have the influence of four =
teen new men, qualified by these de-
grees. We are in hope of the great
work you are to do in rebuilding Amer
ica."
This afternoon the cadet corps gave
an exhibition of military exercises on
the college campus.

Golf Honors
EXPECTS TO RETIRE SOON

New York. June 24.--Walter c.
Hagen, the new national open golf
champion. will not be actively in the
professional game another season, and
is quite likely to retire from 1t this sea
son. so far as occupying a club berth
is concerned.
He has been treated wonderfully at
the Oakland Hills Club, Detroit and has
nothing but words Of praise for tho
members and the course. but he feels he
cannot afford to pass up the business
opportunity which has come his way to
become a partner in Detroit broker
age house.
Next year he is going abroad to play
in the British open championship. and
he is going about it with a methodical
IN the title. at least will give him the
satisfaction Of feeling that he had left
nothing undone that would increase his
chances.
Hagen realizes as well as the next
man that a man must have his fair share
of the breaks in order to win a cham
pionship. and that he must play wonder
full golf to triumph over a field which
includes such men as Harry Vardon,
James Braid. J. Fl. Taylor, Edward
Ray. George Duncan and other British
golf luminaries.

Mexico City, June 24.-With rolls Of
fat on his stomach and otherwise en-
tirely out of condition, Jack Johnson,
former heavyweight champion, wrote the
last chapter in his fighting career here
yesterday afternoon, when he puffed
through an exhibition match with Bob
Roper, of Chicago.
Although he had trained for two
mouths, he weighed 210 pounds, and
repeatedly missed punches because OF
his poor judgment of distance. After
the bout johnson told members of the
press that Jack Dempsey had promised
