IIo also warns against Interference or intimidation of voters, and against policemen coining within fifty feet of nn election place unless to mnke an arrest or to preserve order. Kntan'.s Warning Tlis statement follows: "The approaching general election prompts me to renew the statement which I made liefore primary election respecting the rights of citizens In the exercise of the franchise anil the rights and duties of election officers, city em ployes, policemen and other persons having to do with election. All election nflioers nre privileged from arrest while performing their du ties on election day, except on wan ant Issued by a judge of n court of record, and no election officer can be arrested on election dny on a warrant issued by a magistrate. "A police officer, whether In uniform or otherwise, has no right to lie In or about any polling place, or within fifty feet thereof, either during the count ing and preparation of the return, ex cept to make an arrest or to preserve order, lntlnild.il Ion a Crime "It is a crime for any one to as sault or intimidate any voter during the holding of an election, or to attempt to influence or overawe a voter, or lo prevent him from voting. "It is the duty of every magistrate or police official, having in custody any one charged with crime, to furnish the nocuscd or his counsel, free of chnrge, with a copy of the chnrge so that bail may be catered for the accused. "No voter can bo assisted in mark ing his ballot unless he declnres to the' judge of the election that he has a disability and by reason thereof needs assistance in marking his ballot. "A voter is guilty of a crime who falsely declares that he lias disability and therefore needs assistance. He is likewise guilty of a crime if he allows his ballot to bo seen by another person with the intention of letting it be known how he is about to vote."

I n in investigating charges that a largo number of persons who claimed exception under the draft law as aliens have registered and will attempt to vote at the general election without having since been naturalized, and I especially warn all aliens who attempt to vote without being naturalized that they will be vigorously prosecuted. "The district attorney's office will be open on election day for the purpose of protecting citizens in their legal rights, and I will be ready to secure prompt writs of habeas corpus in cases of illegal arrests. "I call upon the law-abiding citizens, in case they see nets of intimidation, thuggery and other violation of the law, to obtain the names and addresses of tho law-breakers and the names and addresses of any witnesses who may be present and to promptly report to me so that the arrests may be prompt and the prosecution and punishment swift and certain.

Question Worrying "Littlo Fellows" on Payroll OWE JOBS TO VARE LEADERS "On edge" best describes the feelings of several thousand city employes who nre spending their time wondering where they get off with the ndvent of a new administration. Will the new Mayor "clean house" wholly or In part, or will he recognize years of service as an indication of ability and faithfulness? This nnd other questions of a similar nature are hourly being asked by the little fellows in the public building. On the eve of the election many cltv emplojes face the declaration of Con gressman Moore that die expects lo,al! to the whole ticket Willi fern, ntul .1r...wl In view of the attitude of Vnre ward I leaders, especially toward men on the West 1'hllndelpliiu councitmanic ticket Power of Ward licaders to l!r Shuun .Most pit v cninloTcs nre fnithdil nri mnrily to the ward leader to whom lie owe their position. Marry A. Mnk. the Organization leader of the Vnr sivtn ward, lias the largest number f appointee lo his credit. His attitude toward the regular ticket will be shown by the vole west of the Srhmlkill and south of Market street. Home cilj employes, if ordered to cut the ticket lomorrow, may bolt with a view to proving their loyalty to the new regime anil in the hope of retaining their bread and butter. Others will "take u chance," no matter what orders reach them. Aside from tho possibility nf disloy alty, the average worker who has been m city politics for many years believes in the honesty and fairness of Con gressman Moore. As nn old-timer put it today, "llampy knows the game. He's n good fellow, and 1 don't be lieve he will go lifter us, little fel lows." All of Congressman Moore's public declarations have been to the effect that reprisals would follow dislovnlty, hut his statement is believed to lie di rected toward lli- big leaders nnd not directly ut the ordinary worker in the city service. I.onlt for Nn Onrral Cleanup. I'.aeli four years new alliances nre made in City Hall and changes of sonic powers result. The situation this year. uowever, is iiitn-ii more involved nan oruinnrny. ami rnr that reason most persons on the city payroll are a bit anxious as to the outcome or the bal loting of their particular districts to morrow. That Congressman Moore plans no general cleanup i.s generally believed, and the men who have faithfully served the city, even though appointed through the power of the Vnres, believe thev have little to fear nt the hands of the new Mayor. The forty-odd clerks of Councils arc in a peculiar position, in thnt their re lention or dismissal depends entirely upon tun new organization of Coun cil, as it is believed that many of the positions will be found unnecessary under a Council of twenty-one mem bers. As the sheriff's office, now in full control of the Vares, is not under civil service, most of the employes of this department expect the "gnte." They are busy looking for new berths else where, cither in or out of the city 'crvioe. ' FACE RIOTERS ON TRIAL i More Than 100 Negroes Will Face Court for Elaine, Ark., Disorder Helena, Arli..

They say the thief must be an ac robat, because the theft was accom plished by climbing up tho otitsido of the Louvre to the top door.

The hilarity was stopped suddenly by a frightened cry from one of the men on tho running board. "Watch the trainl My (iod. watch nut for the. train!" he called. The front wheels of the truck had humped over the rail as the live men on the side jumped nnd panic gripped those within. A medley of cries and moans reached the cars of the engineer as he franti cally worked at his throttle and brake levers. Passengers Heard Crash Passengers in the two coaches which comprised the train heard the crush of the collusion. There i.s n bridge jus bej und the Clarkboro crossing, and the conductor at first thought the train had gone through the bridge. When the train crew and passengers rnn to the front the locomotive head light revealed the ghastly tragedy. At least seven of the masipieraders had been killed outright. Modie.s were jammed in n heap and crushed limbs trailed over the edge of the wrecked machine. Four of the iiiasnueruders had been hurled to the ground by the impact, they lay huddled in their motley gar ments near the track. When the extent of the tragedy was realized men und women passengers devoted themselves to the injured. The deajl were extricated from the wreck age and laid in a line along the road- Women Isc Skirts as liandages Women ripped up their skirts and petticoats for bandages, twisted tourni quets about bleeding limbs nnd ran for water at nearby houses. Telephone calls were sent for auto mobiles and for physicians. The crash occurred nt 11:1,'! o'clock nnd twenij -live minutes later doctors began arriv ing from Clarksboro and nearby towns. Word was sent to Camden and a spe cial train was made up there and dis patched to Clarksboro.
