PHILADELPHIA, May 17.—Wil- lian Penn, founder of Pennsyl- vania, and his brothers, John and Richard, failed to appear vester- day in answer t» a suit against them in common pleas court. Twice the court crier summoned them in a stentorian tome and twice received no answer. Edwin H. Binder, jr. owner of a plot of ground originally con- veyed by the Penns to William Burr, with the stipulation that its future owners should pay “yearly ground rent of ten Spanish milled dollars.” brought the action against the Penns and named Burr as a co-defendant in order to clear the title. As no claim had been made for the ground rent over the statutory period of twenty years, Judge Martin directed the jury to find w verdict for Binder. e CHARGE LEGISLATORS WITH INTEMPERANCE British Drys Declare House of " Commons Members Are Abus- ing Privileges.

LEICESTER, England, May 17.— Members of the - British House of “ommons were denounced for their alleged habitual overindulgence in| alcohol at the annual conference last | night of the National Commercial Temperance Union, | Speaking fo- a resolution calling upon the government to restrict the hours of sale of intoxicants in parlia- ment as they are restricted elsewhere in the country, one delegate said the members were abla to get liquor at any hour and that they abused their privilege. -The “scenes” which oc- curred in the House, he added, were lurgely attributable to this fact. Magistrate Clark of York declared he knew one member who, since his election to Parliament. had become a drunkard and was on the down- grade politically and socially. Rev. Mr. Rowley said the sitvation de- ribed clearly accounted for the ex- nce of so much political wobbling.
