announcement made by "Charley"
Hall, Seventh AVnrd Councilman and
-Vnrc lieutenant, to protest against
what they allege is an attempt which
will be made to use tlio police to con
trol the primaries.
Mr. Hall .aid thl morning ho hnd
heard rumor that H000 patrolmen, or
half the cltj's force, would be sent
into wards "where they could do the
most good," and be used to intimidate
voters to cast their ballots for the Ad
ministration candidates.
The committee which will rail on
the Mayor will be made up. it is ex
pected, of Hall, "Tom" Wntson nnd
rTom" Cunningham. Mr. Hail said
they would ask the District Attorney
to bo on the watch for violations of the
law, and would insist that patrolmen be
forced to obey the law which requires
that they remain 100 feet away from
the voting booths unless they arc called
in to quell a disturbance

Exoneration fn Wallenbach
and Brancu Cases
ROBBERS GET NO LOOT
Two murders of marked similarity,
both distinguished by a brutality ninnr.
ing even in these days of savage crimes,
remain unsolved. The police frankly
admit they nre baffled in the cases of
Louis nnd Fnunle Wallenbach. the aged
couple beaten to death In their little
store at r25 South Ilnudolpli street,
September 0. and John nnd 1'eter
Urancu. found dead after a clubbing
in the bedroom of their toine at CJ3
North American street.
In each case the crime apparently
was without nny motive other than ,
robbery, and there Is no evidence In I
cither instance that the murdereis oh- I
tallied that for which they nre sup-
pohed y bine taken human life. In,
both cases there were other people in
the house at the time of the murders;!
in both cases these persons were ar-
rested, ana in ooin enses iiicy were

MOLASSES TESTS GASOLINE
Simple Method Saves Thousands of
Dollars to Consumers.
St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 17. (By A
P.) Little dabs of cheap molasses on
plain pine sticks in the hands of sixty -one
oil inspectors in Minnesota have
saved users of gasoline thousands of dol
lars during tho last year, according to
HJnlmar Nilsson, Stnte oil inspector.
Incidentally this simple tett for dis
covering water in gasoline hns gone out
from Minnesota to a dozen other Stntcs.
On tho theory thnt water is heavier
than gasoline nnd always sinks to tho
bottom. Nllsson devised the test. A
stick dipped in molasses glides through
gasoline without showing any effect on
the molasses. But when wnter is en
countered the molasses comes off tho
stick. When the stick is withdrawn the
exact amount of water in the bottom of
the tank is clearly revealed.

TUESDAY PRIMARY
VARES' LAST HOPE
Victory Over Votor3' League
Slato Will Give Ex-Boss Hope
of Tost With Ponroso
EXTRA WORK FOrl VOTERS
City nnd Stnte politics for the fu
ture for the gubernatorial contest of
next year nnd for the mayoralty fight
of the. succeeding year will be Influ
enced by the result of tho election on
Tuesday next, when candidates for
"row" offices nnd magistrates will be
nominated ln tho Republican primaries.
Primarily, the Republican primaries
will be the setting for a display of
strength between the Independents nnd
Senator Penrose on one side, and the
Vares on the other.
If the Vares win they will challenge
the leadership of Senator Penrose In the
Stntp nt large In 1022, when n Repub
lican .candidate for Governor will be
named.
This contest hns developed a. split
among the so-called Penrose lenders In
Philadelphia, some standing by the
Senator nnd others aligning themselves
with the South Phlladelphlans. "Tom"
Cunningham heads those who have
joined the banners of the Vnrcs. while
President Judge Brown lends the
Penrose followers who arc aiding the
Voters League.
130,000 Haro Right to Vote
Approximately 430,000 men nnd
women have qualified themselves for
voting in the primaries by registering.
Of these, It is estimated that 100,00w
arc women. Independent leaders, be
lieving that the women hold tho bnlnncs
of power, are confident that the woman
vote will swing the election in favor
of the Voters' League.
Senntor Varc predicts that tho
"fifty-fifty" candidates will win by
100,000 mnjority. Moro conservative
estimates made by Vare leaders run
between ,00,000 nnd 70,000. Leaders
of the Voters' League, while ready for
a close fight, look to sec a majority
of nt least 2.",000 for the independent
candidates.
In nddition to nominating candidates
for "row" offices, magistrates, school
visitors and election officers. Hie elec
torate also will nominate candidates for
the newly created Beat on the Munici
pal Court bench ; for the Supreme Court
nnd for the Courts of Common Pleas
nnd for the Orphans' Court. Further
more, the electorate of the State will
vote on the question of authorizing n
Constitutional Convention nnd for the
election of n Congrcssmnn-nt-large.
Voters, whether enrolled as members
of a party or registered as Non-Partisan,
may vote for tho convention. The
loters of each congressional district in
the State nlso will nominnto candidates
for delegates to the Constitutional Con
vention. If the convention project be
rejected by the electorate, then the
nominations for delegates to the conven
tion will be null nnd void.
Tlie Republican ballot this year is
a staggering nffnir because of the fact
that the name of 218 candidates for
magistrates are printed thereon. A sep
arate cross mark is required for each
candidato voted for. Therefore, n
voter who votes on nil questions will
hnve to mako about thirty or thrty-five
cross marks, nil of which includes pick
ing eleven candidates for magis
trates out of the whole list of 218.
To look for an individual candidate for
magistrate is slke trying to find the
needle in the haystack. This condition
works in favor of slated candidates.
