.L|MEBURNER TOSUE
LATEST ACCUSERS
Attorney for, Councilman Says
Boxing Promoters Gave $40
to Athletic Club
PORTER MADE DEFENDANT

Councilman Alexis j. bimeburner
will start suit today, according to his
attorney, against George A. Markland.
John Hopper and Former Director of
Public Safety George d. Porter, for
slander.
The case is the second suit brought
the councilmanic graft investigation.
Mr.. Limeburner is planning to sue
the three men because of charges made
by Markland and Hopper, former fight
promoters, and confirmed by Porter,
that the councilman had shaken them
down" for $75, but that the director of
public safety had forced him to give
back the money under threat of ex
posure.
Limeburner In Denial
Through his attorney, Herman NJ.
Schwartz, he denied the "shakedown'
charges.
1--WE have statement from Edward
Brooks. the matchmaker of the club. -
said Mr.. Schwartz. that Mr.. Lime
was closed on the petition of minister.
Mr.. Limeburner was an enthusiastic
fan, and often had attended bouts at
the club. When the place was closed the
matchmaker went to him and asked II
something could not be done about it.
Mr.. Limeburner said it was an out
rage that the club should be closed. He
got permission for it. to- open again
Afterwards the owners of the club went
to Mr.: Limeburner and thanked him.
Mr.. Hopper said: You have been so
decent about this we would like to do
something for the Keystone Club
"Mr. Limeburner said he did not
want them to do anything, but when
they insisted, consented to take the con =
tributiOn of $75. 1t was entered in the
minutes Of the Keystone Club, and let
ter was sent the fight club owners
thanking them, also resolution was
passed to the same effect. Therefore
Mr.. Limeburner is entering suit for
slander, alleging the statements made
by MARYLAND and Hopper are without
basis in fact
Is His Second Suit
The first suit started by Mr.. Lime
burner was against James A. Boyd, OF
Haverford, formerly senior member of
a firm that supplied fire fighting ap-
paratus to the city. Mr.. Boyd made
the statement recently that when pres
ident of the company he had bought ad-
vertising space from Limeburner feel &.
ing that his contracts would be helped
il he advertised in Patriotic Philadel-
phia. 1t Is expected that summons
will be served today in the Boyd suit.
The charges made by MARYLAND and
Hopper go back to June and July, 1914,
when they conducted the North Penn
Boxing Club aS Twenty fourth and
York streets. They alleged that after
the club had been running few weeks
they were told the show must close un-
less "some one was fixed
I.imeburner. the former partners al
lege. told them he could fix" matters
with the director because he and Porter
were members of the same Bible class.
One hundred dollars was demanded. it
is alleged; and $50 was paid at that
time.
Told Story to Smith
EARLY in July an additional $25 was
paid to Limeburner, according to Kop-
per.
1--WE were losing money in July"
said Hopper" but Limeburner insisted
on getting $25 more, and one night

The nation wide search for Kenneth
Bowman, Jr., three years old, of 2023
South Colorado street, missing since
April 20, is ended.N
Boys, hunting for rags, found the
ehilds body in pool of water in the
marshes below Front and Porter streets

been dead so long that identification

152 Gladstone street, discovered the
body, ending the long hunt, in which
mounted police, Boy Scouts, bands Of
Deighbors. navy yard aviators and po-
lice dogs had taken part.
There were no marks on the body
to indicate the child's death had been
due to violence. He was found ap-
home of John f. Bowers. of 2735 South
Ninth street, from whose porch he had
wandered away
Police believe the child tried to fol =

chase candy, and, becoming confused,

WHEN SECURING

A large-sized cork Is an excellent
thing TO use for securing the knives
and forks and pots and pans.
The firmness OF the cork gives
something TO hold to and alleviates
the cramping OF ones fingers.
Aside from the physical comfort
gained by the use Of n cork. the
mental relief is great. ones fingers
don't come in contact with the
securing powder at all. The cork
does not absorb the powder and
transfer it to fingers the way a cloth
does.
It's not that a housekeeper objects
to her calling and hates TO advertise
II by stained hands. It's merely that
unsightly hands and finger nails IRE
distasteful to her and for her own
sake she tries to avoid them.

NEWSPAPER LINING

Winter or summer. l put several
thicknesses OF newspaper in the bot
tom OF the garbage pail. In the win.
ter the paper prevents the contents
of the pail from freezing to the bot.
tom and forming a coating half an
inch thick that remains on the metal
all winter.
In summer the protection for the
pail is just as necessary. The sum-
mer heat causes decomposition of the
refuse and the action Of the acid on
the metal is disastrous.
A newspaper lining in the container
makes 1t possible for the garbage col
lector TO empty the pail easily and
entirely.
