PLEADS FOR COLLECTORS"
Mrs. Lucy Robins Urges Release OF
All Political Prisoners

Atlantic City, July S.-The support
Of one of four pending bills now before
Congress dealing with political" pris-
oners was urged here by Mrs. Lucy
Robins. before the convention Of the
American Flint Glass Workers Union
of North America. Mrs. Robbins, who is
secretary Of Federation in New York
behind the legislation, defined the term
POLITICAL as including service men,
conscientious objectors, strikers, pick
cts and others under sentence other
than criminals" or persons not hav-
ing criminal record.
The legislation would place the mat
ter Of parole in the hands of the De-
partment of Justice, which would be
given discretion in cases. There is. at
present no such provision in4Washins-
ton.
"This must not be construed that we
are trying to free Debs or interfere
with the administration, but many a
poor boy is in jail who had never been
away from home and who bravely en-
listed" Mrs. Robbins declared. She
said there were 100 of such prisoners.

GRATITUDE Saved
NARBERTH nurse
Enver Bey Aided y. S. Relief
Workers Because Miss Super
Attended Him
WILSON'S SAFE At TARSUS

Miss Mary Super, the Narberth nurse,
who has been in the Near East since
May, 1910, was able to lead a party
Of Americans from Hadjin, Armenia, to
safety because Of the gratitude of a
machine gun commander she nursed.
She enlisted for overseas service i'm
mediately after the United States de-
clared war on Germany and was sched-
uled to go when the influenza epidemic
became general. She stayed in this
country and nursed victims, finally con.
tracing the ailment.
When she recovered the armistice had
been signed and she volunteered for
overseas service with the American COM
mission for relief in the Near East.
She was sent in March, 1919.
Gunner Showed Gratitude
With other Americans she was work
ing in the American board mission
buildings in Hadjin In June. One half
an hour before the Nationalists began
shelling the buildings. Enver .Bey, the
machine gunner she had nursed back
to life, told her of the plan.
She and the other Americans evac-
uatcd the buildings and enduring all
sorts Of bardships made their way to
Constantinople. The escape Of the party
was not known generally until the ar
rival there.
Miss Super was born in Narberth.
She was educated in the Ardmore Gram
mar and the Narberth High Schools.
She first took up the study Of nursing
at the Children's Homeopathic Hospital,
hut completed her course ut the
Women's College Hospital.
In her work here during the "hu"
epidemic, Miss Super nursed In hos
pitals in Philadelphia, Coatesville and
Narberth, finally becoming victim
while she was nursing five patients.
She was q Sunday. school teacher in
Narberth and member of the Baptist
church there. Miss Super resided with
her aunt, Miss s.. A. Super.
Washington, July S.-Mr. and Mrs.

alists early in June after they left the
French lines in Cilicia, have been re-
turned to safety in Tarsus, according
to report received by the American
high commissioner in Copstantinople
and forwarded to the State Department
The message to the department said that
the report had been received from q
good authority and that efforts we're
being made to confirm it.
Previous steps which had been taken
to obtain the release of the Americans
include the dispatch of a destroyer to
Mersina, where it was reported once
that the Wilson's were being held, the
sending Of an airplane to Tarsus and
the seizure of Turkish hostages by the
French to insure the safety of the

HALL L[THREATFA|[S
!. TO DISTURB: MAYOR.
Moore Cautions Ware Agent
"Wiper Must Be Careful Not
to Be Wiped Out"
SILENT ON DEvELlN ATTACK

Mayor Moore today replied with a
counter threat to the declaration made
in Council yesterday by Charles b.
Hall. Ware councilman from the Second
district. that he would wipe the Mayor
off the map"
"Be careful that the wiper be not
wiped" admonished the Mayor In
countering in pointed statement.
which showed he had been thoroughly
aroused.
Councilman Hall charged the Mayor
with playing "peanut politics." and
declared he would obliterate him politi-
cally. during a heated debate, following
the Mayors veto of an ordinance which
would have appropriated $500 for extra
clerk hire In the Ware controlled re-
corder Of deeds office.
''Mr, Hall can wipe the Mayor off
the map he will be some wiper" said
Mayor Moore.
THUS far the Mayor has been
amused at Mr.. Halls .hamboyant at
tacks. They have been the pardonablc
,vaporings of councilman promoted
from a long service as sergeant at
arms and clerk when he was Obliged to
listen without having the opportunity
to speak.
Being student and statesman in
suppression he has since been finding
his bent and the Mayor has found no
fault, though the heated waters of Mr..
Halls eloquence have dropped as those
which fall upon the back of the duck.
But when Mr.. Hall permits his ex-
cited imagination to give encourage
ment to the vices and the irregular
practices which the Mayor is endeavor-
Ing to discourage, he is doing no pub
lie good. Certainly he is not improv-
ing his political chances nor strength
ening his contractor bosses.
"When he starts in with his own
right arm to wipe up the Mayor he
should be careful that the wiper be not
wiped"
Concerning the criticism made yes
terday by Councilman Develin for his
failure to sign the bill providing for the
Broad street bus line, the Mayor re-
fused to make any comment, except to
say that Mr.. Develin "is an exception
ally conscientious gentleman, with very
fixed views, whose authorship of the
Broad street bus ordinance should not
permit him to stand for a group of
unknown promoters seeking franchise
on the city's most prominent thorough
fare under terms decidedly disadvan-
tageous to the city and calculated to
impede rather than improve the public
service"

benches in the factories housed by the

created among the girls when the smoke
from the basement filtered through the
floors into the factories. but the work
ers were marshaled together quietly and
made their exit without panicky incl
dents.
The blaze was confined to the base
ment of the building, and the loss Is
estimated at $4,000. According to the
fire department, sparks from the burn
ing waste in furnace in the basement
ignited material stored there. 1t is
said that the door Of the furnace was

clogged flue drove the sparks from the
frebox. The Arcade Is one of the
largest factory buildings here. and Is
in East State street, in the center Of

Although there were thirty. seven
more labor conflicts reported last wear

materially under that of 1915 and 1917.
On the other hand, no strike In 1918
