WOU[D-BE ROBBER
SHOOTS AT VICTIM
Man Caught 20 Minutes After
Attempted HoId-Up Is lden-
titled as Gunman
HAD REVOLVER IN POCKET

Walter Graham, an alleged bandit,
made an unsuccessful attemot to ho'd up
and rob Harry Mackin, 4T1S Kingses-
sing avenue. early this morning. He
was captured within twenty minutes
after the alleged attempted hold up.
Mr.. Mackin's wife was taken i'll this
morning and he went out to summon u
physician. On returning home he
noticed four men acting suspiciously
nca" Fifty second and Cathari streets.
One of the men asked Mackin for
a match and then pulled revolver
to back up the request. IN have
all your money, too" the stranger
said. .....
Mackin pretended to throw up his
hands but instead of doing so turned
and ran. The bandit fired shot after
him. but the bullet went wide of the
mark. Mackin ran until he co'ided
with Patrolman Ayers, of the Fifty
fifth and Pine streets station. He
told Ayers of the hold-up. An auto
mobile happened along and search
for the highwayman started.
Ayers and Mackin encountered Pa
tro.man Murphy and told him of the
iE another direction. He found man
hiding in an alley near Fifty second
street and Baltimore avenue. The
stranger said he went TO the quiet spot
IN search of drink. Murphy grabbed
him and searched him. A revolver was
found in his inside coat pocket. The
man gave his name as Walter Graham,
Twenty fourth and Oxford streets.
Mackin identified Graham as the
man who tried to rob him. Graham,
,he police say, was recently released
from Jail. He was held without bail
for court.

ground that the information was ow
ing to the public, he said:
IF you don't know yourself. there
is no reason why l should tell you.
Look for yourself"
Director Winston pointed out that
the job of keeping the streets clean is
big job, and should be handled by a
Dig man, paid salary commensurate
with the Importance of the work. He
will ask Council to enable him to get
ch man.
James I. Cortelyou, director of pub
lie safety, at the request of DIR. Fur
bush, will issue an order the police. call
ing for the strict enforcement of the law
against the piling of filth in the streets.
Filth Stays Three Weeks
The director of health says that he
found filth that had lain uncollected in
the highways for three weeks. The
rains of the past few uays had washed
some of the filth into the sewers but had
not washed away, decaying fruit, ashes,
old paper. rags and other rubbish.
Doctor Farbush declares that the
conditions he found yesterday were due
to the Gccumulations of weeks.
The inspection was carried out
swiftly and secretly. Mayor Moore di-
rected Doctor Furbush to make the in :
vestigation.
Doctor Furbush said today it was idle
to contend that small streets could not
be cleaned properly. He showed photo
graphs of Havana streets, only ten feet
wide, which were as clean as ballroom
floor.
Scientific methods must be applied
to street cleaning in Philadelphia before
real results can be accomplished, the
director stated THE conditions saw
in South Philadelphia beggar descrip
tion. They are hardly conceivable in a
city of the first class. In some places a
steam shovel would be required to re-
move the filth.
The departments of health, safety
and works must work as a unit if the
streets of the city are to be clean and
kept clean Director of Public Safety
Cortelyou, incidentally, is the first safe
ty director, reformer or otherwise, who
has a real vision of the part the police
can play in this important work, y
The health director said he plans tr
give a portion of every business day tC
inspection trips and to investigations
making regular visits to the hospitals
and other institutions in his charge
Monday, he said. he will inspect strl ct.
north of Market street, giving particu
lar attention to congested neighbor
