Staff Correspondent) PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9—"A leather neck turned copper," and today Philadelphia's nationally-famous tenderloin is closed. Speak-casels are locked; brothels have moved out; bookmakers have sought other climes. Vice has capitulated. When Brig.-Gen. Smedley D. Butler of the U. S. marines, Philadelphia's new director of public safety, loaned by President Coolidge for one year for an attack on the city's vice and crime, "turned in" at daybreak today; the city was cleaner than it has been for years. The exodus of crime was in full swing at daylight. Two of the city's most notorious gamblers caught a host for Havana during the night. Scores of "booze joints" displayed "for rent" signs for the first time in years. The old "eighth ward" made famous in song and story, was practically deserted. "But I have only started." General Butler declared, as he retreated to the army cot he had ordered placed in his office at city hall. "Philadelphia, like Rome, can't be cleaned in a day." The marine copier declared rent war today. "I have given the bootleger, the harlot and the drug peddler 48 hours to get out of town." General Butler said. "Midnight tonight will be the zero hour. After that, six squads will batter down deords and the pitot wagon will run its wheels off if necessary." During the night General Butler's squads made but 21 arrests, the majority women. General Butler had turned down a $100,000 bribe; defied a threat of death, and had become "one of the boys" playing a game of pitch in a station house back room. "This guy Butler means business" policemen informed those who hesitated to "beat it" on instructions. "You bet I mean business." General Butler declared, punctuating his remarks with a choice line of marine oaths at station houses he called on. 2 DIE, 2 FATALLY HURT IN ACCIDENT HOUSTON, Tex., Jan. 9—Two are dead and physicians held little hope today for the recovery of two of the 40 persons injured when Missouri, Kansas and Texas passenger trains Nos. 23 and 26 crashed in a head-on collision at Hillendahl switch, near here, late last night. Engineer Ed DeRossett and Fireman Edward Sullivan of No. 23 were instantly killed. The crew of the other train, Lee Thomason, engineer, and Charles Deckhart, fireman, were believed fatally injured.

But in less than a week they were there, bug and baggage and a few trunks in addition. And then things began to happen. There were strange sounds at night. A black cat made the house his headquarters, and a shadowy figure floated through the halls at night. There is mystery in this story and a climax that will fairly make your hair stand on end, and through it all there is a vein of comedy that will make your sides ache from laughter. There will also be shown "His Royal Silvers," one of Harold Lloyds famous comedies and one that is guaranteed to keep you laughing from start to finish. ORANGE-CO.

N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Jan. 9. — Jack Dempsey and Tom Gibbons will meet in a New York ring, 15 rounds to a decision, for the world's heavyweight championship, some time during the final week in May. That much is in the bag. Slight details, such as Dempsey's share of the purse, the site of the bout, and the possibility of the political discountenance of all things pusillistic in the meantime, must be cleared up, but it is almost certain that Tex Rickard will be the promoter. Gibbons is to be the opening number on Dempsey's calling list next summer, Luis Firpo and Harry Wills the other two. Firpo will be met on or about July 4, and Wills on Labor day, if at all. That is the program now. Rickard, however, still must be won over to Gibbons as an opponent for the champion, and a few adolescent steps in this direction will be Tommy's scheduled bout with Funny Fred Fulton and extravagant rumors of a Dempsey-Gibbon match in St. Louis, Cleveland, Louisville, and all points west. Both fighters are keen on New York as the scene of the bout for obvious reasons. Most of the sap money is here. Talk of holding the fight in the west will only serve to garnish the newspaper headlines and make the project more desirable in the eyes of the New York customers. Nothing is valuable here until someone else wants it. BOWLING GOSSIP Fanning Candy Co. will go to Los Angeles Thursday evening to bowl the Crystal Grill. This opens the So. Calif.

Staff Correspondent) MEXICO CITY, Jan. 9. — President Alvaro Obregon may be a personal observer of the decisive battle with the rebel troops on the Jalisco front, it was learned from the war office today. The president has gone to the western front to inspect the federalals who will go into action on receipt of arms and munitions purchased from the U.S. government. The fighting near Leon has died down and troops are moving closer to the Jalisco border, making it more likely that a decisive battle will soon be fought there. While Obregon is in the west, the movements of federal troops on the southern front will be supervised by War Minister Serrano with headquarters at San Marcos. Two offensives against the rebels at the same time are planned on the southeastern and western fronts. Obregon has about 40,000 well-drilled and equipped troops in the field. Airplanes purchased from the United States will move in advance of the troops. General Joaquin Amaro will be in active command of the federals upon the eastern front. General Eugeno Martinez will command the federals moving upon Vera Cruz. Federal generals fear that some of the mountain tunnels on the road to Vera Cruz have been mined, and that it would be unsafe to use them: There are long and dangerous tunnels on both the Inter-Oceanic and Mexican Rivers leading to Vera Cruz.

Coon, 60-year-old osteopath, was being held today on $5,000 bonds for Omaha authorities, on a federal grand jury indictment charging fraudulent use of the mails in connection with the sale of "auto blood" a purported anti-freezing compound for motor cars. He was arrested yesterday at his home in Arlington, near here, by a deputy U. S. marshal on a tugitive warrant. The American Autoblood Co. of Omaha, with which Dr. Coon is said to have been connected, is reported to have enjoyed a flourishing business a few years ago. Purchasers of the compound were assured, according to federal officials, that the coldest weather would not freeze their motors if the radiator was filled with the "auto blood." These allegations, however, were false, and the compound failed upon test to fulfill the promises made in its behalf, according to the findings of the grand jury. The indictment, which was returned in Omaha, was based upon a letter said to have been written by Dr. Coon to G. A. Clark of Cromwell, Minn., advertising the remarkable results accomplished by the "blood." L. A.

The parents were down town at the time of the fire and, according to neighbors, the children were locked in the cottage by their parents.

The father was said today to have been located at a lodge meeting while the mother was reported attending a motion picture show. The officials were investigating statements of neighbors that it was a practice of the Worths to lock the two children in the house evenings while they went down town.

George Ade Comedy Attracts Attention Appearing in one of the most delightful picture comedies that has been shown in Anaheim this season, Thomas Meighan, who many consider the most popular star in pictures—closes his engagement at the California theatre tonight in his latest effort named "Woman-In-Proof." This story, the same as several other of recent Meighan picture stories was written by the famous humorist George Ade, and to judge from the manner in which the large Anaheim audiences which attended the beautiful California last night received "Woman-Proof" there is no doubt of the popularity of the star and of George Ade stories. Plans are being made today by Manager Tom Ingram to care for an even increased attendance over yesterday. Thursday is Vaundeville day at the California, and judging by the crowds that have been attending the theatre on this particular day, Thursday is being considered by many as the red letter day of the week. Manager Ingram has arranged an exceptional bill for this week's showing, and from the line up of acts it would seem that this particular bill will eclipse all others for popularity.
