Abandon Plan Remodel
Noted Historic Square
PHILADELPHIA, August 2—Mrs
Edward T. Stotesbury, society leader
has abandoned her plan to have Inde
pendence Square and its historic build
ings remodeled after Parisian archi
tecture models.
Independence Square will be pre
served as it is. It is not to be re
modeled for the Sesqui-Centennial cel
ebration planned here .
Mrs. Stotesbury, who recently sent
Mayor Kendrick plans for the propos
ed embellishment of Independence
Square with colonnades and rotundas
now has written the mayor, that she
has become convinced thru the pro
tests of the patriotic societies that
“any departure from the original plan
of the old square would mar its his
torical value.”
Mrs. Stotesbury’s letter to the may
or read:
“The protests made by the patriotic
societies through the newspapers fol
lowing the publication of plans for i
structural changes in Independence
Square ,and particularly the eloquent
appeals of Miss Anne Wharton, and
Hampton L. Carson, have convinced
me that any departure from the ori
ginal plan of the old square would
mar its historic value.
“This point of view had "never oc
curred to me until I read the criti
cisms,* and I fully agree that such
changes should not be undertaken.
“My real purpose in having these
plans drawn was to direct public at
tention to the spiritual significance of
Independence Hall, the old Square and
the Liberty Bell in the Sesqui-Centen
nial Celebration.”

THE WRETCH
Some fellows can get away with
anything. There’s one in our neigh
borhood who does it. Morals don’t
mean a thing to him. He has no de
gard for truth or law. He never thinks
of paying a bill. We saw him take a
two dollar taxi ride without giving the
driver a pleasant look. And the
driver only looked at him and mut
tered something silly. He can’t play
cards. Or dance, or sing, or fool
around with musical instruments. Or
the radio. As a conversationalist,, he’s
null and void. He neglects his ap
pearance terribly. He hasn’t shaved.
; He’d let the house bum down before
he’d turn in a fire alarm. He lacks
opinion. Even on the good old prohi
bition question nobody knows actually
where he stands. One minute he’s
dry. And the next minute he’s wet.
But- we will say this for him, he
comes from a darn good family, he’s
our new baby.

j SWIMMER DIES FROM CRAMPS
STANWOOD, Aug. 2—A swim just
' after arising from the dinner table
i proved fatal to Philip Franks, 25, a
I deck hand on the steamer Harvester,
i here Thursday evening, although ef
| forts were made to resuscitate him.
The Haivester, which plys between
Seattle and Stanwood and Mount Ver
non arived Thursday evening. After
eating a hearty meal, Franks stripped
and dived overboard. He was at
tacked by a cramp and sank almost at
once. Despite the fact that the body
was in the water almost twenty min
utes before it was recovered, ship
mates worked strenuously with life
saving apparatus but all efforts to
revive the young man proved fruitless.
