pleading for an awakened cotmcllmantc
conscience for tin honest Initiative In
flvlo affairs, Director Taj lor today again
brouttht the whole transit situation be
fore the pooplo '!) demonstrating in
Councils linn the walk may begin tit
once.
In a statement toda the Director nU
Councils to permit the work on the B-o:il
Street subway and elevated lines ti h
Rlh by Including In the proposed $11.T' "
loan an Item of WO.WX) for the recount! u

will follow In tin? eent of the rofunl f
the Couucilmen to comply with the suk
gtstiou. He calls for action hy the IV
nance Committee which meets on Thui.--day.
The elt should take the Initiative, he
said, and start work Immediately, with
out waiting for the Union Traction Com
pany to ratify the ptosram.
Director Taylor also announced new
surface lines In many parts of Phila
delphia which are needed and will be in
cluded in the transit plan. They Include
n crosstown line on FIfty-slth street,
additional facilities above Frankfo'i. a
line on Chw street, extensions to the
South Philadelphia north and south
lines, additional lines north of GlMrd
Colletre. a direct lln to Roxborough, a
line on North Ninth street and a direct
line to Fox Chase.
PLAN AND HOW IT WAS BALKED.
The plan drawn up hv the Department
of City Transit and agreed to by the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company In
cludes n Broad street subwav, a tube
under the Delaware River .find elevated
lines to Frankford and Dnfrby. together
with extensions to the present surface
lines, under an agreement calling for uni
versal free transfers. The Improvements
would cost the city S34.fiS2.nno and the
lessee SI2.S36.000. It was hoped to com
plete the system within five years.
Councils, after Its members had placed
themselves on record as favoring the
piozrnm, for political reasons, blocked
fipid transit and the resultant growth of
the city, In this way.
First B offering to the peopI two
loans, one of Si.C0il.Wi. approved ot the
November election last year, and one of
J12.tW.0Ou, which last March were declared
Illegal by the Supreme Court because of
th- failure of Councils to include a school
debt of W.521,211, assumed by the Board
of Education under the provisions of the
School Code, In th Indebtedness of the
city. These loans Include Jl.SOO.orO for
transit. The Supreme Court, however,
upheld the constitutionality of personal
property assessments as a basis for a
municipal loan, and thereby paved the
way for another, but smaller, loan.
Second By Insisting, through its Tran
sit Committee, upon the plan offered by
tho P. It. T. Company, by which the city
would pay the company $41,457,000 in fifty
years, for the abolition of exchange
tickets.
Third By delaying to float a new loan
after the first two loans were declared
Invalid. A new loan could have been
voted on last spring.
Fourth Aftwr Director Taylor and the
T. R T. Company had each presented
plans to its Transit Committee, and the
Transit Committee agreed to hold public
discussions of these plans, no more meet
ings were hld.
Fifth By refusing, through Its Finance.
Committee, to appropriate th J.W.C00
for the preliminary work
Part of, the political scheme of Coun
cils is to wait intll the present admin
istration ts going out of office and then
float a large loan for transt improve
ments, and award the contracts them
selves. Several members of Councils, It
has also been said, own T'nlon Traction
stock, and thy are blocking th- pro
gram, because under Director Taylor's
rlan the Union Traction Company must
provide the funds for needed extensions
to the present surfac syitm.
DIRECTOR TAYLOR'S STATEMENT.
Director Taylor, in his statement today
said that the plan of th Department of
City Transit has been submitted to Cltv
Councils and to the stockholders of the
Union Traction Compare. "A very trn.
portant factor In the program," he eon
tinned, "ti the provision which is mad
for the financing of surface extensions
which will he rquested from time to timj
as the city grows At present various
sections of the city are demanding such
facilities."
"A very impirtunt factor In the pro
gram ts the provision whi'-h la made for
the financing of surface extensions which
will he requested from time to time as
ths eltJ group. At prent various e
tions of the city are demanding such
facilities.
"In West Philadelphia a crosstown sur.
face line on S8th street Is greatly ntedd.
"In the northeastern section additional
surface facilities are, needed above
Frankfort,
"In Cermantown the people are very
properly demanding the construction of
a line on Chow street, a section now
buU up hut Isolated
"In South Philadelphia extensions of
the existing north and south line further
southward will bo a necessity.
"Jn the northwestern eeulon there Is
a great demand for additional north and
touth lines north of titrard College and
also for a much needed direct line to
noxborough.
In the northern section of the city
there Is an urgent demand for a surface
line on North Ninth street and for a
direct line to Fox Chase.
CITY Ml'ST MAKE START
There now Mams to b a question 4i
to who tihall inak the first move toward
the carrying out of the transit program
shall It be the city or shall the city
await favorable action by the Unior
Traction Company?
''Unquestionably it is the duty of the
city to take the inltutive and to take
every i-Up nieary to Mcure odwiuat
rapid transit facilities, with frc trans
fr aud tie accessary extension of sur
face llnu for the people of Philadelphia,
without delay
"I have pointed out the fact that it
will take about n ar longer to build

It Is this 5500,000 Item which I am anx

"Prompt and fa "table action by the
City Councils at this time will, in my
opinion, go a long way toward securing
ratification of the transit program and
the early realization of the benefits which
the completion of the program will brlntf
to the people of Phl'adelphla."

RESCUES SLEEPING CHILD
FROM BURNING HOME
Tho bodies of Mrs. Sarah Graff Newlln,
32 years old, and her eight-year-old
daughter, tlliznbeth, of Chadd's Ford,
Delaware County, were found In a brook
three miles from a summer camp In tho
Adirondack mountains late last night.
Word of the tragedy was received today
at Chadd's Fold.
Tho placo where tho bodies wore found
Is In Essex County. The woman was of a
prominent family In Chadd's Foul, and
hnd relatives In this city and also in
Chester Coiinty. She went to the moun
tains early In the cummer for the benefit
of her health, nccordlng to a friend of
the family, and spent the tlmo at a camp
belonging to an aunt, Mrs. George
Ilftxniner. The woman's husband, who is
a traveling man, left Chadd's Ford about
the same time.
It is said that he went to Texas and
efforts are now being mude to set In
fnifli with him.
Tho woman and her daughter, accord
ing to Sheriff Knowlton, disappeared
from tho camp on Saturday afternoon.
They failed to return for suppir nnd sev
eral residents went to Und them. The
oral residents went to find them.
Late today It wus learned Sheriff
Kncwlton had seen the bodies. He said It
was very evident that the ghl had died
first. Ono of lier tan stockings, he t.ilil,
was tied In u double knot around the
throat. Another nocking was tied In a
double knot around her mother's neck.
The sheriff also said theie was evidence
that Mrs. Newlln had snuggled.
Dr. A. S. Itied. Coroner of L'ssnx
County, tnid today that the woman and
her daughter died from strangulation. "I
do not believe that I t-hould expiess imy
opinion," he udded, "for u jury decided
yesli-ida that Mrs. Nenliu strangled
her daughter anil then herself. I found
no evldeiicu of a double murder. There
were no marks on the bodies other than
those caused by strangulation."
Among various rt ports circulated In
Chadd's Ford was one that the woman
had shot both herself and daughter, but
those who knew Mrs. Newlln refu&ed to
belluve this. The llrst to hear of tho
tragedy was Mrs. Horace W. Sinclair, a
sister ot the deid woman. Sho sent word
to Frank Graff, a relative, of Ktnnott
Square. Graff Informed Captain Har
rison Blspham, the dead woman's
brother-in-law, and both men left Irnme
dlateh for BlUabethtown
Mrs Newlln formerly lived on the Graff
farm, at Chadd's Ford.
