intervention or any other plan OF deal

proposed that a committee select one
power which would accept the re-
sponsibility Of taking up the negotia-

TO NAME COUNCIL NOMINEE
Ware Leaders VIII Announce Their
Choice on Tuesday


Choice on Tuesday
Ware leaders announced finally today
that a candidate for the Republican
nomination for councilman represent
ing the First district, to succeed the
late Councilman Finley, will be named
next Tuesday.
Indications were that either Charles
j. Pommer, a court officer, or Harry
O. Davis, former assistant director Of
public safety, both of the First ward
and both allies of the Wares, would be
named. Public opinion is inclined
toward Davis. Senator Ware declared
today. however, that so far as he knew
no final decision had been reached by
the ward committeeman of the district.
The ward committees will meet next
Tuesday at noon, while the city COM
mittee will meet at p. IN. At both
meetings the Ware nomination will be
made.
The Ware plan of making the nomi-
nation by the committees will be op-
posed by the administration forces,
headed by Joseph G. Trainer, admins
tration leader of the Twenty sixth
ward. Mr.. Trainer said today that the
nomination should be made by the peo
pie directly.
I'm training down to real FORM"
said Trainer, ~and dm ready for the
word to start fighting to the finish"
Ware leaders insisted that the only
way che nomination could be made, ac :
cording to the acts of Assembly and tho
party rules, was by means of the ward
committees of the district. City Solici-
tor Smyth has been asked by the ad =
ministration leaders to give an opinion
on the law in the case. 1t is expected
that Mr.. Smyth will rule that the nom :
ination should be made in an open pri-
mary. Then it is the plan of the anti
Ware men to seek an Injunction to pre-
vent the printing of tho Ware nomina-
tion on the official ballot. 1t is likely
that the whole question will have to be
settled by the courts,

me epidemic. and has continued its
charge with unflagging zeal since then.
is anxious to get these helpless little
sufferers to the country under condi-
ment.
Mrs. Martin. who is pushing the
PROJECT, Is hopeful that a way may be
found in which the Department of Pub
lie Welfare, under Director Tustin,
may be able to take the children to the
city farms, where, under expert medi-
cal supervision. many of them would
perhaps recover the use of their
twisted limbs.
Mrs. Martin visited the city farms
yesterday, accompanied by DIR. Blair
Spencer, who is physician in chief OF
the Department of Welfare.
Today she spoke in terms of highest
praise of the treatment given the in =
mates who are now at the farms. There
are 14OO very old and very poor men
and women, who used to be at Blockley
and then at the old exposition buildings,
who are now being cared for in the
country under ideal conditions, and
Mrs. Martin found, with every sur
rounding of decency and comfort.
II saw these old people by accident, +"
said Mrs. Martin today. Il had gone
out to the city farms with Doctor
Spencer primarily in the interest of the
crippled children. l was asked If l
would like. to see the old people. and
i very gladly accepted the invitation.
II merely am giving praise where Il
is richly due when l tell of the fine
things saw there. I was surprised
and extremely pleased. l think the
greatest credit should 60 to the Depart
ment of Welfare ana every one con =
nected with the farms for the splendid
treatment given these poor people who
are dependent on the city's bounty.
1--WE arrived there unexpectedly and
at supper time. saw the old people
at table, and saw the food that was
set before them. 1t was of the best
quality, though simple, and exceedingly
we'll prepared. 1t was as good food
as could be got anywhere. The whole
place was scrupulously clean,
"What impressed me most OF all was
the evident contentment and happiness
of the poor people there.
Mrs. Marti said that il the Depart
ment of Public Welfare took over the
care of the crippled childen the Emer-
gency Aid would continue to do its
share, aiding in any way that Director
Tustin might suggest.

STREET CLEANING
CONFERENCE HELD
Director Caven and Aides Talk
Over Plans for Municipality
to SuppIant Contractors
BIDS BEING TABULATED

Director Caven, of the Department
Of Public Works, called conference
in his Office today ot which II is be-
lieved plans for having the municipality
clean its own streets were discussed.
AT the conference were Director
Caven, Fred G. Dunlop, chief of the
Bureau of Highways and acting chief
Of the Bureau Of Street Cleaning; John
II. Neeson, engineer for the Bureau of
Street Cleaning. Before the conference
Mr.. Dunlop denied that il was called
for the purpose of discussing the street
cleaning project. He said that any
news concerning municipal street clean
ing would have to come from Mayor
Moore, who is away over the week end.
Director Caven sent out word that he
would not see intervicwers today.
Employees of the Bureau of Street
Cleaning still are busy listing the bids
OF contractors and their offers of equip
ments. 1t was noted that no offers
were made of horse teams, which are
most easily disposed of for other pur
poses.
The bureaus experts have put valua
tions on all the property of the con
tractors, and these estimates will be
compared with the bids made. 1t is
believed that it will be necessary to
buy further equipment If the city is to
be cleaned properly, even IL all the con
tractors equipment Is taken over.
Another question discussed at the
conference today was believed to have
been the strike Of Senator Vare's street
cleaners. Senator Ware called on the
director today to talk the matter over,
and it was arranged to give the street
cleaners who want to work adequate
protection.
''The administration is giving me
full support in this matter" the sena :
tor stated after the conference. "This
strike is not a question of amount of
work, Of hours or wages. The men
want the right to say where they shall
work
''For example IL men are sent to
Thirteenth and South streets they will
refuse to go and announce they want to
be sent to Broad street and Snyder ave =
nue.. That condition is intolerable in
properly managed force.
Il have signed the union agreement
but / never agreed to let the men say
where they would work"
The senator was asked his views on
the 81 100000 loan item for the pur-
chase Of street cleaning equipment.
