 Philadelphia. March IT (UP) It took constitutional amend ment to stir the political lethargy of the citizens of the Quaker City.
 For not since the old bronze bell in the belfry of the state house pro- claimed liberty throughout the land" have Philadelphians. been so aroused as they have been by the liquor raiding activities of their di- rector of public safety. Lemuel Braddock Schofield, when he became head of the department on Decem- Der l, 1928, the city still had with many it's ancient reputation of being corrupt and contented.'
 Liquor flowed freely despite the sensational dry manifestos of Gen. eral Smedley Darlington Butler, who as director. tried to make the city dry. When he was dismissed by Mayor w. Freeland Kendrick, he was followed by his former assist ant. George Elliott.
 Drinks could be obtained under Elliott and no change was notice able during the early months of the administration of Harry A. Mackey who had named Harry c. Davis. former executive secretary of the Vare-controlled republican city com mittee, as director of public safety.
 Then in August of 1928 a special grand jury commenced an investiga- tion into the alliance between gang sters and racketeers and the police. As a result, Davis was forced to re- sign, and although it is now gener- ally understood that he had been in office too short a time to be en- tirely responsible for the conditions in the Bureau of Police.
 With his dismissal. Schofield, who as an assistant district attorney un- der John Monaghan, had been wig orously pushing the investigation which involved inspectors, Captains, lieutenants. and patrolmen, was named as director.
 With his advent things commenced to happen.
 His first official act was the is- suance of his famous General Order No. IT which stated in determined language that he intended to be the absolute "boss" of the department. He announced that he would not tolerate any political interference

 Time at Home

Bombay, India, March 17.-(UP)
 The Mahatma Gandhi, whose spir- India has made him the most infiu- entia1 person in the nation. was so- verely heckled last night at a labor meeting which he addressed.

NOTED AUTHOR TO DELIVER LECTURE
Gilbert K. Chestert0n in Re- turn Engagement at St
 Elizabeth College
WEDNESDAY, APRIL IS

Gilbert K. Chesterton, noted Eng fish author, has postponed his scheduled return to England this week to deliver lecture at the Col lege' of St Eliza zabeth, Convent Sta ton, near Morristown, N. J., April
 Is. and make up for the anxiety
 he caused last January, when he was lost, and arrived two hours late for a scheduled lecture at the col-
 lege. He will address the assembled
 student body at 1880 D. m., and his
 subject will be Dickens, and the Present Day."
 Considerable concern was felt for
 MT Chesterton's safety on the night
 of last January 9, when 1000 peo-
 pie waited in the college auditorium
 to hear his lecture on Culture and the Coming Peril" An hour and q half after his scheduled arrival. after all attempts to locate MT Ches- terton were almost abandoned. a telephone message from Mrs Ches- terton reached the college, saying that the lecture party was lost in their automobile somewhere outside of Morristown. The large reception committee again formed at the main
 entrance to greet MT Chesterton with due ceremony. when after an. other half hour had elapsed, maid in the girls dormitory telephoned that a big, stout man, with glasses and a mustache was there, and want ed to know what to do with him. He had come through the rear entrance of the 460 acre campus.
 The Rev Dr Fulton J. Sheen, oi the Catholic university, Washington | was called from the audience and cleverly performed the difficult feat of holding the audience in good humor with impromptu remarks during the two hours delay.

 ful." did the sailors hornpipe &C.,
 companied by his son, Frank. Sam appeared in the very humorous act entitled "The Love Lotion" Inci- dentally, many young men in the audience were seriously thinking of getting in touch with Captain Cash in to learn where this certain lotion
 may be purchased. This act proved
 to be the novel hit of the evening.
 Included in the cast were Captain
 Cashin. Sam Barlow. Ruth Corrigan.
 Joe Pecchonne. Danny Barrett and
 MurieI Alderman.
 The show was presented under Jack Rainville's direction. under set- tings representing a ship with the crew attired as sailors and the solo-
