BOROUGH WILL ELECT
Burgess, School Directors, Ten
Councilmen and Ward Ofli-cers
to Be Voted For
on Tuesday.
VERY FEW CONTESTS
A new administration will be elect-ed
on Tuesday to take over the bor-ough
business next January. More of-fices
are to be filled this year than
for many years owing to resignation
in council, yet there Is HtUe activity
among the politicians and no inter-est
is being taken by the voters.
One of the reasons for the luck of
interest is the absence of contests In
several of the wards, the ward con-tests
being confined to the First and
Fourth. 'I
The opposing candidates for bur-gess
are George W. DeHaven, a: for-mer
clerk of town council and a
widely known real estate broker, on
the Republican ticket and James
Sinnott. tt life long resident of the
borough and widely known, Is the
Democratic standard bearer. Neither
side is making a campaign and for
the Democrats to win the burgess-ship
great inroads must be made In-to
the Republican ranks.
Two school directors are to be
elected. Dr. J. L. Roth and Harry
I^oean are the Republican candidates
while the Democrats are opposing
them with women: Mrs. Charles W.
Jones and Mrs. William F. Meyers.
Miss Julia Meyers will be elected
a borough auditor as she is the can-didate
of both parties as are Magis-trate
Light, for Justlce-of-Ihe-peace
and John D. Hampton for tax collec-tor.
I v '!«l""«
The contests for council are con
fined to the First, and Fourth wards.
In the First ward, three are to be
elected, one for an unexpired term,
and two for the full term of four
years. "
The Republican candidates are:
John A. Harrold, a member of the
present council: Jerry Cimlamnne
and David Hayes. The Democratic
candidates are: Joseph A. Kelly, a
member of council; Paul R. Carroll
and John J. Welch.
In the Fourth ward John A. Hamil-ton,
a member of council Is a candi-date
on both tickets and the fight for
the second seat Is between Howard
Koch Republican and John O'Donnell
Democrat.
In the Second ward W. C. Oarrett,
president of council, and George
Robinson are the Republlcap candi-dates
and lit F. Moore, a member of
eouncil*ind who refused to be a can-didate
and George Robinson are on
the Democratic ticket,.
Richard H. Bate and Oeorgo Oel-ger,
Republicans, are unopposed in
the Third ward to succeed them-
Belves as is William Kane, Republi-can,
in the Fifth ward.
One State office is to be filled.
Jud?e of the Supreme Court. Judge
William F. Solly, will succeed" him-self
as Judge of the orphan's court,
being on both tickets. The county
offices to be filled are: prothonotary
director of the poor, Jury commis-sioner
and coroner.
Little interest is being shown in
the election in West Conshohocken.
Joseph McElhattan is the candidate
of both parties for burgess and Al-fred
Nobllt was also nominated by
both parties for tax collector. The
only borough contests are for two
school directors and for auditor.
Perry F. Ramey and Edgar HI Wood-ward
are the Republican candidates
for the school board and are opposed
by James J. Burns and William Ruth
Democrats. Herman E. Ambler, Re-publican
and OflWUO Tomllnson, De-mocrat,
are making the race for
auditor. There will be contests In
' each ward for seats In council.

Woman Angered Over Arrest
of Son Threatens Teachers
Truant Officer Makes Five Arrests
for Non-Attendance at School.—
Woman Frightens Teachers
and Takes Children Home
There was an exciting noon hour
at the Third avenue grade school
yesterday when Mrs. • Draplkowski,
351 East Hector street, appeared at
the school to protest against the ar;
rest of her son Joseph for non-atten-dance*
at school. •
Attendance officer Clifford Camp
bell served a summons on the boy
and his parents at noon to appear at
a hearing before Magistrate Light
tomorrow evening to answer charges
of violating the school attendance
Jaws. The action infuriated Mrs.
Draplkowski and shortly before ono
o'clock she visited the superinten-dent's
office and gave that official a
tongue lashing in Polish and English
interspersed with language ''unbe-coming;
a lady." The superintendent
led the angry woman from the school
and thought she had left the grounds
when he heard loud talking on the
flrst^loor. The noise had attracted
the teachers from the second floor
and when the superintendent arrived
he found the woman had singled out
her son's teacher, Miss Edith Bevan,
and. frightened her with her threaten-ing
attitude and language. The other
teachers were given a scare when
the superintendent again led the
woman from the building and Camp-bell
led her from the grounds receiv-ing
her maledictions. The woman in-sisted
in taking her two child/en
from the school saying she would
place them In St. Mary's school.
Attendance officer Campbell ar-rested
Joseph Dylba and son An-thony,
443 Foulke street and John
and Charles Storm, 351 West Fifth
avenue. They were given a hearing
before Magistrate Light and the Dyl-ba
boy was sent to the house of de-tention

costs.

In compliance with the request of

ENFORCING THE CURFEW
on Friday evening Just as the cur-few
whistle was blown, the follow-ing
slide was thrown on the screen
at the Opera House, "obey the Cur-few
Law, All children under six-teen
years of age unuccompanled by
an adult person will please go to
their homes al once."
This sii.l'- seemed to cause a great
deal of surprise but It was noticed
thut many children immediately
took their departure. This Is the
llrst move In a concerted plan by the
probation officers to enforce the cur-few
law In the towns where It Is In
operation. It has been found that the
•-'. eatest fracton of the curfew luw Is
where children attend the moving
pictures and If this does not solve
the problem, further steps will be
taken. Mr. Case, of the Opera House
is thoroughly In sympathy with tho
■ aiiylng out Of this plun and ar-ranges
his program so that children
can see the evening's pictures and
still leave for their homes when this
slide is thrown on the screen.

County Commissioner Hatfield
In Address Beofre Women's
Clubs Tells of Need of
Tuberculosis Hospital.
GREAT NEED FOR NURSES
The need for a county hospital for
the care of advanced cases of tuber-culosis
was explained before tho
Montgomery County Federation of
Women's Clubs, at their fall meeting*.
yesterday, in the parish house of
Calvary church, when sixteen clubs
of the county were the guests of tho
Conshohocken Woman's Club.
President of tho board of county
commissioners. Itoy A. Hattlcld, ad-
(11. .-.sod the women on the great need
that exists in Montgomery county
for a county hospital for the care of
'persons in the advanced stones of,
tuberculosis. He explained that un-der
the law each county, is required
to care for its own afflicted and as
there arc many such sufferers in the
county, a hospital for their care is a
necessity not only that patients may
bo given proper care but to safe-guard
the public from contagion and
the spread of the disease. Ho told
how other states are establishing
hospitals and are combating the
disease.
The people will have the oppor-tunity
at the elections next Tuesday
to signify their will as to whether
the county should have such a hos-pital.
He urged the women to vote
"yes" on the question and to bring
all their influence to secui-e approval
of the project.
The Federation has long recog-nized
the need for such a hospital
and approves of the county main-taining
such a hospital. The Coun-ty
Tuberculosis Association und the
various welfare organl/.a/.tions will
urge voters to- vote "yes" for the hos-pital.
The sessions of the Federation be-gan

the State song, played by Mrs. H. D.

weak children to vigorous health by
proper nutrition.

upholding1 the conference for the
limitation of armaments to be con-vened
in Washington next week, and
a copy will be forwarded to Wash-ington.
Mrs. Winter, president of
