S. BEGINS FULL PROBE GAS LEASE INQUIRY NOT HIS, SAYS MAYOR Denies. Fathering Move for and Thinks 1897 Pact Good Enough Hopkins Joyce planned to give Stan ley Joyce, millionaire Chicaeo lumberman, his "freedom" for a million dollars and mary Prince Moureddin Vlora, of Albania, will be revealed when the Joyce divorce case is tried, friends of Joyce say. Peggy's scheme, according to these sources today, was that Prince Vlora would divorce his Princess, the former Mrs. Helen Kelly Gould Thomas, while Pggy was getting rid of Joyce.

Peggy thought, Joyce's friends aver, that as she had spent $044,331 of his money in a year and had run up bills of $400,000 more. Joyce would bp glad to give her million and kiss her goodbye. With this nest egg she and her Prince could get started housekeeping without the necessity of the Prince going to work. Princess Vlora is expected to he one of Joyce's chief witnesses in his attempt to prove that Peggy and Prince Vlora were too friendly in Paris dur- ng thp Joyce honeymoon. The Princess, fif-eording to reports, learned of the Prince's alleged attachment for Peggy end cut off his allowance, which she was paying fr-i own millions.

When news of Lis fp her first reached her she left him ad took r.p her residence at the Hotel l-ponon in lork city, where she is now living. Crowns and coronets, more million and social position that would make gold coast dowagers rise with jealousy. thes-i beckoned Peggy Hopkins to come back when early in October of 1920 she sailed from Kurope. It was announced at the time that she was returning home to make the dreams that her husband cherished of wedded domesticity come true. Put those who knew her best about the Montmarte section of Paris laughed slyly and nodded knowingly.

She had already become engaged to Prince Vlora. And her trip back to America, it was generally understood, was to come to a better "understanding" with her then existing husband. The understanding measured a million lollar settlement and a divorce. i eggy. who had nlazened her wav out of the obscurity of a Denver tele phone exchange and through the mani curing parlors of a Richmond hotel found the Prince the easiest victim of her love shafts.

He professed love at 'ight. She liad no difficulty dethroning his affection the wealthy Princess who was financing his Paris gayeties. Peggy, according to stones collected Joyce's detectives, started home to settle up with Joyce. She told the Prince to go home and settle up with his Princess. Then they would be mar ried.

Peggy figured her stay in America would be so short that she left several trunkloads of clothes and a generous supply of jewelry in a Paris storage house. When Miss Edna Nicolls. a New York society girl and an ambulance driver during the war. sailed for France in January it was announced she was bent upon revisiting some of the battle fields upon which she had seen action nat she reallv went for. however, was to obtain Peggy's belongings.

She was unsuccessful. Furope is being combed for witness es by Joyce. Waiters irom the highlight section of Paris, chorus girls, millionaires, bellboys, train porters, stewards, taxi drivers and detectives will be put on the stand to testify about Peggy's exploits with the Prince, the Hue de Lurcal Henri Letellier, Evan Spaulding, Maurice, the dancer, and a dozen other men.

With the big Packard car in the lead. the twenty-five automobiles tretched out a distance of nearly two blocks, by all means the most splendid ollection of prizes ever ottered by a newspaper in a campaign or tins Kim. At the wheel of each car was an experienced driver." and in each tonne; at two girls holding alott a standard bearing the name of the machine. The procession moved south in liroad street to City Hall, around 1'enn square to Market street, to Fifteenth, to pruce. north on Hroad street to Chest- mt.

east to I if th street, to Market and thence to campaign headquarters. Iv the time the parade reached tne entre of the citv thousands of otficj workers were on the streets for the. lunch hour. Broad. Chestnut and Fifth streets were packed so that traffic on the side walks was most difticult as tne parade u.oved along, first to the music of pop ular airs from the band and then to the wailing jazz tunes of the bag-pipes.

Hundreds of men and women stood along the sidewalks and wished they had got into the camapign at the begin ning. All the other throngs, however. paled, into insignificance compared to that which jammed Market street in front of the campaign office. A special detail of mounted police in addi tion to the five who led the parade, with a squad of foot men, had been sent to handle the crowd and it was all they could do Laughing and jostling good naturedly their nght tor a position of vant- r. i nrScnfo.

Ihose who were expecting speech- making and elaborate ceremonies were doomed to be disappointed. The actual presentation of the cars was just a simple matter of business, in line with the work of getting subscriptions that brought the winners to their lucky day. As each machine snapped up to the curb the call was sent out from the list for the winner.

He was helped through the crowd, patted on the back, given all sorts of free advice and j'osh- mg as to the running of a car. Many of the winners were photographed as they sat back of the steering wheel with the smile of happy possession their eyes. Nearly every car, as it rolled away, carried not only the winner but two or more of his relatives and friends. Sometimes it was a mother who will have the time of her life this summer, rid- inc the open roads in a new, spicK ana i i span machine, bmetimes it was a girl who is only waiting for the parson to give her a half-interest in the prize. lhere was no red tape whatever about the presentation.

All the details had been arranged in advance. Most of the winners had made arrangements to get their license tags. hey went irom the campaign headquarters to the of fiees of the agents of the various cars, took off the dealers' tags and put on their own and went off to enjoy their prizes. The ending of the campaign was as thrilling and spectacular as any stage of the race. It marked the conclusion of an event that was record-breaking from start to finish, a campaign that was so hard fought that there was never a ami moment in it.

ISQUIRER BCREAV. I3t9 X. W. June 1. The testi mony of Congressman Phillip Campbell, of Kansas, one of the three passengers on the down trip of the Curtiss "Ea gle" ambulance airplane, which, on its return voyage Sunday night crashed, killing seven men, was taken today by the special army investigating board.

ongressman Joseph of Mas sachusetts, and Air Captain Lavergne. an attache at the French Embassy, who made the going trip to Langley Field with Mr. Campbell, and who like him left the airplane at that point, returned to AVashington by boat, and thereby escaping death, are to be examined later. Mr. Campbell said that on the trip down the air was very bumpy and ir regular.

Lieutenant Ames, said Mr. Campbell, "seemed to realize the air conditions and gave very strict attention to his work." Colonel Miller and Captain Lavergne had a map and indicated the course to the lieutenant. Mr. Campbell said that Lieutenant Ames seemed to have perfect control of the plane. I don think anyone felt the slightest uneasiness on account of the management of the plane, because it seemed under perfect control so far as the pilot was concerned," testified Congressman Campbell.

"There was this bumpy condition of the air that he seemed to understand." In reply to Colonel G. L. R. Irwin, who conducted the examination, Mr. Campbell said he did not notice that the plane was in any way unbalanced or poorly balanced, as the French air attache had alleged.

He said that if the Eagle had been an open plane he had not the slightest doubt that he and Congressman Walsh would have returned in it. He added that the condition of the air did not have, anything to do with his decision not to return in the Eagle.

He made this statement replying to a series vf attacks made on him at the first hearing on the gas question by the Councilmanic Committee on Public Ftil-itips Tnpsd.iv nient. The Mavor particularly resented statements that he was responsible for the commission report and for the ordinance providing for the investigation. As a matter of fact he said he had taken the t-tand that the adminis tration was entirely satisfied with the lnsp of lsO. His statement reads: It has come to be fashionable for some neonie to use council anu me Councilmanic Committee as vehicles for saving unwarranted and untrue things about the Mayor.

The Mayor is not re sponsible for all the ills lor which the people suffer and tne attacK upon mm last nieht was not based upon a state ment of facts. The gas inquiry originated with the United Gas Improvement Company and with the City Council, which passed an ordinance demanding an inquiry, which the -Mayor vetoed De- cause it seemed to favor a board ot in quiry favorable to the company. "Another ordinance was passed, giv ing wider latitude in the appointment of a commission, and this the Mayor approved, appointing three experts who were supposed to be untrammeled and two citizens of good repute in the communitv. The Mayor instructed them to make an impartial report which, under the ordinance, was sub mitted to Council. "The Mavor has not commented upon that report one way or the other nor did he influence the commission beyond instructing it to be thorough and im partial in its work." S.

P. C. A. has arranged to open forty or more watering stations in congested districts throughout the city. Not only will "drinks" be provided for working horses, but shower baths for the relief of horses overcome with heat will be supplied at many of the stations.

The work is conducted under the auspices of the Auxiliary of the Pennsylvania Society. It is expected that, at least ten new watering stands will be used this season. The rapidly increasing, use of horses for short hauls increases the demand, according to John R. Cozens, secretary of the auxiliary. In addition, he points out, prohibition has removed the watering stands that formerly stood outside of saloons.

A unique watering stand will be operated at Broad street and Fairmount avenue. It is equipped with six buckets which automatically fill and cleanse themselves. The water wagons themselves contain eighty-five buckets and a large tank. Riinmna- Frnm HnmPtwpntv-five members of Leopold Sto "nu Svmnhony Orchestra, who Highest temperature durinz the day.
