HARRISBURG. Pa. May 13.--The
vote of Philadelphia will Determine
the republican nominee for governor
of Pennsylvania at the primary elec-
tion Tuesday. Clifford Pinchot has
developed SO much strength through
the state and predictions are being
freely made about the state capitol
that the forester will go to the Phil
adelphia city line with a big ma
jority. This is the situation brought
about as result of party manage
ment in the Keystone state in the
first six months after the death of
Boies PenIose.
Mr. Pinchot could have been nomi-
| mated if the primary had been held
a week ago. 1t was expected his on
ward sweep would be arrested
fortnight since. but he kept on gain
ing after each temporary check in
way that surprised the old political
leaders and forced them to bend every
effort to halt him. In the last twenty
four hours the word has gone out
from organization circles that while
the forester has been turned" 1t is
it decisive, and no questionable ma
jority out he Quaker city is wanted.
Pmchot's Foes United.
Starting in a field of half dozen.
Pinchot's energetic campaigning and
vigorous charges against the way the
state government was conducted led
the dominant group of state leaders
to drop their differences and unite
upon Attorney General George E.
Alter, the personal choice Of the gov
ernor, other candidates being forced
out of the race. Behind Alter were
arrayed at once the state admins
tration, the republican state organi-
cation and the organizations in the
large cities and several of the coun-
ties. The record of the state admin
istration and the personal animosi-
ties of various county leaders against
Gov. Sproul were promptly unloaded
upon Mr. Alter. who Is man OF
highest personal character. while the
state organization turned out to have
deteriorated since the death of Pen
rose and not able to hold in line some
influential county leaders,
Only the Philadelphia city organ
ization and the half dozen or so ele-
ments in Allegheny county, united
under the influence of Pittsburgh
friends. and admirers of the attorney
general, have been Of much value to
him. The state administration has
been on the defensive for months be-
cause of the condition of the finances
and disclosures following an audit
Of the state treasury the last few
days.
While Pinchot's opponents have sub
,ected him to fire of personalities,
such as has nQt been known in PENN
sylyania in twenty years, and have
also been charged with conducting
a whispering campaign" of virulence
and magnitude. he hnquestionably
has gained ground among the woman
voters. Various Heterogeneous groups
have been welded into a fighting er-
eanization backed by most of the
Philadelphia newspapers, and social
influential dailies up the state. Only
one daily in Philadelphia has shown
announcement to Alter, who has the
support of about two-thirds of the
Pittsburgh papers. =

MELLON OPPOSES
SOLDIER BONUS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Treas-
ury opposition to a soldiers bonus
remains unchanged, but if there is
to be a bonus it must be provided
through taxation, in addition to
taxes imposed by existing law, Secre-
tary Mellon declared last night in
a letter to Chairman Fordney, of
the house ways and means commit
tee. Any attempt to provide for the
bonus through the use Of the prin-
cipal and interest of the foreign debt
to this country, he contended, would
be futile, as well as unwise."
Mr. MELONS letter was in response
to a request from MIR. F!ordney for
an expression of the views of the
secretary and the treasury depart
ment on the government financial
outlook for the coming year and a
half and for suggestions as to legis-
lation.
Submitting detailed estimates of
government receipts and expendi-
lures for the fiscal years 1922 and
1923 and the treasury plan for re-
funding the short dated debt, Mr..
Mellon declared no allowance has
been made for any extraordinary
expenditures for a soldiers bonus,
which would cost, on the most con-
servative estimates, he said, prob
ably not less than $3.50, ZOO, 900 in the
first two years.

Chicago Criminals
Go on Rampage
Without Arrest

CHICAGO, Jan. %. - Chicago's
criminal record yesterday and last
night showed the first serious wave
of 1922. One man was shot and
wounded probably fatally, two jewel
ry stores burglarized, twenty-eight
hold-ups. and more than a score of
minor crimes were reported. The
criminals escaped unscathed.
The constant buzZing of the po-
lice telephones manifested such
criminal activity that early in the
evening Michael Hughes, chief O.
detectives, ordered every available
police motor car and squad to the
streets.
The most serious crime of the
evening was perpetrated, the police
believe, by four negro bandits, who
in the past two months have gained
the name "the four black knights -
and whose loot in more than one
hundred hold-ups is estimated as ex-
ceeding $4,000. They invaded the
drug store of E. l.. McA1icken and
shot him down when he resisted.
They fled without obtaining any
thing.

GOVERNOR PARKER DEFENDS
NATIONAL FARM MEETING
ATLANT|AV ENJO|NS
GIRL WHO SUES HIM

Miss Maude Cobb, Of Villa RIGA
Ga, was temporarily restrained
from annoying J. L. Kurfees, presi
dent of the Phoenix Supply com
pany, in an order signed Tuesday by
Judge George L. Bell in the Fulton
superior court.
The temporary order was taken
out by counsel for Mr.. Kurfees on
the same day hearing was set on a
$4,000 heart balm suit brought
against him by Miss Cobb. Janu
airy % was set as the date for hear
ing on the order.
In asking the injunction Mr.. Kur.
fees set forth that Miss Cobb had
filed suit against him for $4,000 in
April, 1920, alleging that he com
mitted breach of promise and he
alleges she has "other wild mag
mary grievances" Miss Cobb's suit
against Mr.. Kurfces was withdrawn
T lesday. Attorney Hugh Cobb, rep
resenting Miss Cobb, said that this
was done, in order to draw another
suit with fuller and more detailed
allegations in it.
According to Mr.. Kurfees' petit
ton Miss Cobb prowled around his
house, broke into his dining room
Unexpectedly while he was having
dinner with his wife and friends and
was in constant telephone com.
munication with him.
In her suit against Mr.. Kurfees,
Miss Cobb alleged that he had had
,Ler arrested without cause, but IN
his petition Tuesday Mr.. Kurfees
denied having prompted the arrest,
but said she threatened his life in
the presence of two policemen and
tn y took her to tn. police station
on their own initiative.
IT paid Miss Cobb $3.50 September
I, 1919, and she promised to discon-
tinue annoying me-" Mr.. Kurfees
said in his petition. He also asserted
that he was given no peace after
that time and had to take the re-
ceiver down from his telephone in
order to have respite from her con-
tinuous calls.
Mr.. Kurfees alleges that Miss
Cobb frequently secreted herself in
the hedges. and rose bushes sur.
rounding his home and was warned
by police to cease this practice, but
she is said to have continued until
arrested by the officers.
Mr.. Kurfees alleges that one time
while at dinner he, was surprised to
see Miss Cobb come in through a
rear door. He says he was with his
wife and number of friends at the
time and the event occasioned him
considerable embarrassment.
He alleges it was a common prac-
tice for her to prowl around his
house and peep in the windows, con-
tinuing this until midnight on sew
era1 occasions.
Mr.. Kurfees is represented by At
torney Herman Evins.

ed to prepare the meal, but turned
back to find himself covered by the
men, each holding a pistol. AS he
backed against the wall, he said, the
girls went behind the counter and
opened the cash register. Their COM
posed manner, he said, led him to
believe it was not the first Job" Of
the kind they had participated in.
After the money had been secured,
said Mr.. Rose, the young women
then took a quantity of cigars, Gig
arettes and chewing gum and walk
ed out and got into the automobile.
The two men then backed out the
door, taking the proprietor's shot
gun with them and quickly drove
away.
Mr.. Rose said he ran out after
them, but was unable to get the
number of the machine, and before
he could get his own car from the
garage, he said, they had disap\ Ir-
cd down the Mayson and Turner
road. He said the quartet were
strangers to him, they never having
been at his place before.

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK
SEEN by DR.. SOULE

ATHENS, Ca, Jan. 24.-Hundreds
of delegates attending the Georgia
markets conference ,5ere encouraged
over the agricultural and financial
outlook when DR.. A. NJ. Soule, presi-
dent of the State College Of Agricul-
ture, in the opening address of the
five-day session, Monday, expressed
the belief that the year 1922 will see
greatly improved conditions, both
as affecting Georgians and the south
as a whole. He asserted that the
day of Investigation is at hand, that
the one-crop system is out of date.
Farmers must plant small acreage
in cotton, cultivate it intensively,
and thus reduce the boil weevil
menace and increase the ultimate
yield.
Psychology will play leading
part in the south's return to pros.
like this we should be looking for
the silver lining back of the storm
Clouds" he continued.
1.-THE whole world is just at pres.
ent in the midst Of a great battle
concerning the welfare Of everyone,
making it imperative that with VIC
tory, greater prosperity be won in
the immediate future.
This is time devotion to
duty" he said. Possessed of a
spirit of sacrifice and service, a de.
sire to give all, and the assurance
to win success, we shall soon right
the water-logged ship of agriculture,
industry and commerce, now wallow
ing in the seas of dependency.
The business depression through
which we are now passing was due
mainly 10 lack of confidence in the
future.

passed through the vortex Of the cy-
clone and cor . out alive" stated DR..
