Continued from Pare One
administration leaders are putting up a
desperate battle for the Twenty sixth.
The Wares have divided il into three
sections and made trusted lieutenant
responsible for each district.
Joseph Trainer, who carried Il over
Congressman Ware at the last election,
is aided by his brother Harry Trainer.
Third ward leader, and the support
Of Mayor Moore. -.
Two patrolmen Of the Fourth street
and Snyder avenue station house, were
arrested yesterday on the charge of po-
litical activity and taken to German
town, where they were held in bail.
They are Louis Swaab, a street SER
geant, and Max Himmelstein.
Louis Swaab, street sergeant, and
Max Himmelstein. Afidavits charging
them with political activity were sworn
to by Abraham Berkowitz, Ware COM
mitteeman in the Thirty ninth ward.
Pennock Issued Warrants
Politicians pointed out that the Ware
threats Of arrest for Mayor Moore and
Director Of Public Safety Cortelyor
petered down 80 far to the two district
policemen. The warrants, which were
Issued by Magistrate r. T. Pennock. Of
Germantown, were served on the two
patrolmen at the Thirty seventh district
station house in the greatest secrecy at
five minutes before midnight Saturday.
The policemen were compelled to ap-
pear before the agistrate at the Ger
mantown police station, miles from the
scene Of the First district fight, at

Berkowitz did not appear to support
his affidayits, but Leopold Glass, q
former member Of the state Legislature
and a Ware adherent, conducted the
prosecution. Two witnesses swore that
the policemen had advised them to vote
for James Gallagher, independent can
didate for Council. Magistrate Pen
| mock held the men under 5000 bail each
for court. allowing them to sign their
own bail bonds.
Sergeant Swaab said last night that
his arrest was occasioned by his pre-
venting Ware supporters from collecting
an Legitimate assessment from vendors
on Seventh street under the pretense
the privilege to vend their wares.
'About a week ago met some warj
committeeman who warned me to stol
refused. As result, was placed under
arrest on a technical charge"
Sergeant Swaab was supported In hi,
stand by his superior officer, Lieutean,
/ Coan. and by Harry ]. Trainer, Moor,
leader in South Philadelphia.
"It is simply another Ware trick a
;pt;midation," said Mr.. Trainer las
night. -"They are trying to scare every
body who is opposing them. First the,
threaten to arrest the Mayor and th,
director OF public safety. and then the!
end by picking on sergeant o. polio
and patrolman. 1t looks as thougl

ing, and expects to vote as. he goes to
his farm from the train. He plans
to spend the day at home, coming to
his newspaper plant as soon as the first
polls ih the country close.
Sunday, was a quiet day for the can =
didate, spent at his home with mem
bers of his family, except for short
tramp through the. woods. He also is
sued a statement, asserting that his
visits to thirty six states convincsed him
that the sentiment of the country ia
vored the League Of Nations, and add.
