ASSA|LS HAWKERS
ON MARKET STREET
Civil Service Commission
Praises Lieutenant Carlin
for Moving Vender
MERCHANTS HURT TRADE

The practice of Market street mer-
chants in allowing venders and hawk
ers" to ply their trade in front OF
stores was condemned today by Civil
Service Commissioner Woodruff during
the trial of Lieutenant Richard Car
lin and Patrolman Leon Hinkle. of the
Eleventh and Winter streets station.
The two policemen were arraigned on
charges preferred by +. w. Brack. a
street vender, who alleged they had
treated him brutally on June 30 when
he refused to move his stand from In
front of store at Thirteenth and Mar
ket streets. He said permit had been
given to him by the store proprietor.
Instead of melting out punishment the
commission commended the two men
for performing their duty.

1T is not good policy for storekeep-
ers to allow these venders to sell their
wares on the pavement" Commissioner
Woodruff said. Those who do give
permits for sidewalk space are simply
cutting their own throats by depreciat-
ing property value. And aside from the

Captain Van Horn testified that
Lieutenant Carlin had been instru-
mental in clearing out many objection
able sidewalk merchants and was within
his rights when he forced Brack to move
away from in front Of the store. because
the crowd had become so large it tied
up traffic.
The Commission showed no sympathy
in the case Of Patrolman Stringlin,
Peach and Media streets station, who
was summoned on the charge of making
false testimony.
Rebuked by Magistrate
Some time ago Stringlin was detailed
by Acting Captain Kunkle to watch an
alleged "speak easy" at Sixty fifth
street and Woodland avenue. He
swore out a warrant for the couple who
conducted the place, but when they
were arraigned before Magistrate Cow
ard Stringlin denied that he had any
evidence. Magistrate Coward at that
time told him he wouldn't believe him
on his oath.
Stringln pleaded guilty before the
Commission, but said the charge against
him was the result of misunderstand-
ing.
Commissioner Neeld told the patrol :
man that he didn't believe him. The
case was held under advisement.

CALL REPUBLICAN
VOTE PLAN ILLEGAL
Democrats Declare Women's
Clubs BaIIoting Prizes Con-
trary to Corrupt Practices Act
MAKE PROSECUTION THREAT

Chairman Baker, of the Republican
state Committee, welcomes legal opin-
ion on the status Of women voters
clubs. which were branded as illegal
today by Austin +. Mccullough, Demo-
cratic State chairman.
The idea of enrolling large numbers
of women pledged to vote the Republi-
can ticket was launched by the women 8
publicity department of the Republican
State Committee.
1t was planned to offer prizes to the
women who organized these campaign
clubs and who obtained the greatest
number of pledges In various districts.
II was This offer of prizes which Mr..
Met ,Ollough declares is illegal.
II am advised by my attorney that
the plan is contrary to the Corrupt
Practices Act,' said the Democratic
chairman.
Il am going to ask two attorneys
FOR written opinion in the matter.
II they coincide with the opinion I
now have. the Democratic State Com
lnittee will offer tho opinions to the
League of Women Voters and will see
TO 1t that young women take the pledge
ther" are Judges Of different political
faith.
1T is proposed" he continued,
that young members who Join the
linchot- Warburton Club must first
sign n pledge to vote the straight Re-
publican ticket, and for getting a Ger
tain number of young women to do this.
certain other women are to get $1,000
in cash or other valuable prizes, CON
trary to law.
"That, says my attorney. is buying
votes, especially. if. after the pledge
they vote such ticket and any valuable
thing passes.
The Democratic State chairman's
criticism was called to the attention of
Mrs. Barclay II. Warburton, vice
chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee.
Mrs. Warburton said she did not
wish to assume the responsibility of
replying to Mr.. McCollough's attack
She referred the matter to w. Harry
Baker. State chairman.
The proper thing for the Demo :

Baker. would be TO write the Repub

WHEAT DROPS BELOW 81
Break In Market Falls to Stimulate
Buying, However

Chicago. Aug. 15.-(By A. PD-
Wheat dropped in price here today to
below 81 bushel. The break In values
to less than such notable dividing line
failed to bring about any material in
crease of buying, although for long
time many traders have been expecting
that a quotation as low qs 81 would
stimulate business.
Uncertainty over the rail strike out
look, together with adverse foreign
financial conditions appeared to be
among the chief factors leading to the
decline in the wheat market. Evident
dearth of buying orders resulted in n
general selling movement on the part
of holders who were trying to stop
losses.

closed yesterday at $l.01h2 to 81. OF q
