OVERBROOK AGAINST
P. R. R. PLANS FOR
FREIGHT YARD THERE
BERLIN CELEBRATES ARRIVAL OF WAR TROPHIES
Residents Say Smoke and
Engines Would Ruin Mal
vern Avenue Homes.
Want Road Electrified.
t Residents of overbrook nre making a '
decided stand against the Pennsylvania .
Railroad, which purposes the building
of large freight yards In that suburh i
and the. laying of a new road which
will be used for freight transportation
from Glcnloch and Froier to the Penn
sylvania Railroad wharves at the foot
of Washington avenue, via Overbrook
and B2d street. They say the road ns ,
now planned will ruin the handsome ,
residential district.
"The railroad was granted a franchise
by the city of Philadelphia for the
parrying out of this plan In 1303. This
expires In 1915. Since the company has
riot begun the v,ork It would ba Im
possible to complete It before the time
limit expires, and therefore the com
pany has applied for an extension on
the permit. The citizen? of Overbrook.
represented In the Overbrook Associa
tion and the Overbrook Club, have made
uch a vigorous protest that the City
Council has Informod the railroad that
It will have to corns to somo undei
standlng with the citizens of that lo
cality before the permit will be ex
tended. That part of the Pennsylvania Rail
road's project which Is most objectionable
to residents of Overbrook Is tho faot
that the new In-coming line will run to
the proposed freight yard along Mal
vern avenue, a handsome residential dis
trict, which would be ruined by the
smoke of the engines that would con
stantly be passing along tho line. Tiie
freight yard, will not be electrified, ac
cording to the plans projected by the
company, and so would ruin, the" resi
dents say, tho extensive resldental de
velopments which are being carried on
between Overbrook and Wynnefield. ;
NOT TO ELECTRIFT YARDS
In referring to this point, John J i
Coylo, president of the Overbrook Asso
ciation, said that the city of Phlladel- ,
phla would lose from $100,000 to SloO.O'iO ,
annually In taxes alone through the j
aeprcciation in value of real estate In
that neighborhood, which would proo
ably be at least 50 per cent. He believes
that tho company's claim that It would
be Impossible to electrify a freight vurd
of such magnitude as theirs Is to bo is
untrue, for he says that not only the
members of the Overbrook Committee,
but also representatives of the City
Council, have visited the electrified yard's
of other cities and are convinced that
the proposition could not only be handled
here, but that it could be profitably
managed.
But rather than electrified lines and
freight yards, the people of Overbrook
would have the railroad extend their
present spur line connecting the Waidi
Hngton street wharves with Newtown
Square, via Fernwood. to Glcnloch and
Frazer, cutting out the Overbrook and
52d street yards. This, they claim, could
be done at vastly smaller expense and
at a saving of considerable mileage, and
Incidentally leaving the fashionable resi
dential sections of Overbrook undisturbed.
The railroad's plan as it now stands is
to extend the 52d street yards to Over
brook, eventually laying 100 tracks for
this purpose. These lines would pass
Underneath the Main Line pansenger
tracks at Malvern avenue, and continue
out that nv-nue as a low-grnde line
toward th Newtown Square and Fernwo )d
branch, not Joining that road, however,
but turn'ng north and running directly
to Glenloch and Frazer. The only tun
neling which would be done would be on
that part of Malvern avenue which lies
between the Main Line and tho Blind
Asylum. There would be no means of
crossing the Pennsylvania lines between
52d street and of'th.
CONDEMNS PLAN OF P. R. R.
In commenting on the situation this
morning, John J. Coyle said: "We feel
that the Pennsylvania Railroad has been
granted greater concessions by her na
tive State and city than any other rail
road In the world, and that In return for
these advantages It has not only failed
to show Us appreciation, but has shower
ed favors on other cities and States tf
the exclusion of Philadelphia and Penn
sylvania. It has erected r magnificent
terminal in New York and has electri
fied its lines entering that city : but not
only refuses to do as much for Philadel
phia, but wishes, on the other hand, to
ruin one of the city's finest suburbs."
Yesterday a committee of Overbrook's
citizens visited the scene of the pro
posed changes. They are to report at
a meeting to be held to discuss ways
and means of bringing the railroad to
terms.

Enthusiastically Received by Partn
ers of Union, Mifflin and Snyder.
LEWISBURG, Pa., Sept. 24, - Before
hundreds of farmers gathered at the Un
ion County Fnlr here this morning, Dr.
Martin G. Brumbaugh, Republican nom
inee for Governor, pledged, If elected, to
do all in his power to Insure construction
of good, honest highways, thoroughly
built and constantly kept In repair
throughout the entire State. These roads,
he declared, will be such that the maxi
mum cropa can be brought to population
centres with a minimum effort.
Doctor Brumbaugh with his campaign
party at rived here this morning from
S unbury, stopping en route nt Sellnsgrove,
where his reception lasted an hour. The
party left here at noon on a tour of
Union, Mifflin and Snyder counties, and
will speuk tonight at Lewlstowp.
Referring to the child labor laws, Doctor
Brumbaugh declared he had an net in
mind which If passed would become a
model for every State In the Union. This
measure lie ald, would enable a work
ing child to continue his education in the
public schools.
The election of Doctor Brumbaugh by
a majority of 300,000 was predicted by
Secretary of Internal Affairs Houck.
Doctor Brumbaugh Is hearing on every
side that the Indorsement of Vance C.
McCnrmick by the Washington party has
caused such a serious split in that party
that Its death knell Is sounded.
BRUMBAUGH'S GREAT CANVASS
Treasurer of Citizens' Committee Sees
Wonderful Results.
Louis J. Kolb, treasurer ot the Dr.
Martin G. Brumbaugh Citizens' Commit
tee nnd an Independent In politics, raid
today that Dr. Brumbaugh was making
one of the most wonderful campaigns ever
witnessed in this state, To his host of
friends, his wide circle ot acquaintances
and his absolute sincerity Mr. Kolb at
tributed Dr. Brumbaugh's success.
His Institute work," Mr. Kolb said,
"lias gained him thousands of friends,
who remember him for the great work
he has accomplished in udvanclng tho
educational facilities In this state."
Mr. Kolb criticised the action or the
Washington Party State Committee at
Harrlsburg last week In Indorsing Vance
C. McCormlck aa the gubernatorial candi
date In place of William Diaper l-ewls.
"This was a violation." Mr. Kolb de
clared, "not only of the spirit, but of
the letter of the Stato-wlde primary act
The action of the Washington Party
committee baa caused thousands to de
clare themselves for Dr. Brumbaugh
"The Washington party set Itself up

RUSH FOR MILEAGE
BOOKS BEFORE NEW
RATES BECOME LAI
Railroads Report Big De
mand From Travelers
Anxious to Avoid Quarter
Cent a Mile Raise.
Since the railroads announced that aft
er October 1 thcro will he an increase
from 2 to 2Vi cents a mile In tho rates
to be charged for mileage books there
has been a big demand for existing books
on the Pennsylvania nnd Reading Rail
roads from traveling salesmen and others
anxious to get In their supplies before
the Increase becomes effective. Agonts
generally are reporting an exceptional
run on tho books now In use. 'While
the schedule of new rates lias already
been filed at Washington, they have not
yet been approved by tho Interstate Com
merce Commission.
The Reading Railway will Inaugurate a
new feature In connection with Its in
terchangeable mileage books after Oc
tober 1. Heretofore these books have
been good only for use on certain lines
In the East. The term "Interchangeable"
was appparently n misnomer, since there
woro only certain railway systems, nslde
from tho Reading, on which they would
bo accepted. Under the new arrangement
they will be accepted for fare on virtually
all lines east of Chicago.
For the regulation $20 mileage book,
good only on the system which Issues it,
the new rate will be J23.C0 for 1000 miles.
The new rate for the books with Inter
changeable features will be $25, with a
rebate of J2.50 when the book cover shall
bo turned back to the company. The re
bate now amounts to $5. Theso books
will not be transferable.

speech made here last night by Theo

directed nt United States Senator Cum

ator Cummins, the regular Republican
nominee for re-election, failed of his
opportunity when the Cummins organi
zation remained Itepublican after Taft'a

"Senator Cummins and those who train
with him around the track," said the
ex-President, "cannot be true to the old
timu principles of Lincoln's day as long
as they continue their association with
tho utterly reactionary Itepublican ma
chines as now controlled In the nation

l
.Strong Opposition to Measure
Revised by Conferees Ex
pected to Delay Vote in
Both Houses,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2i.-the c6nfN
erice report on the Clayton antl-trust
bill will be called up for c6ris!deration
in thi Senate today, provided Senator
Culberson, chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, feela. that tha lima la op.
portuno. He gavo notice when' ha sub
mitted the report IbbI night that h
would ask to have it takeri up at the
earliest possible moment.
An effort will be made to have th
report disposed' of In tho Senate and
Hoilaa before next Monday, so that th
President mAy sign the Federal Trad
Commission bill nnd the Clayton antl
trust bill at the same time. The 14
days which the President has to sign
the Trade Commission bill before It au
tomatically becomes a law wilt have ex
pired next Monday night.
A hard fight against the adoption of
tho conference roport Is expected In the
Senate, however, and It may take several
days to got a 'ote on It. Senator Reed,
of Missouri, among the Democrats l
particularly bitter against the report, be
llcvlng that it has been much weakened
In conference. He Is disappointed In th
elimination of several penalty clauses,
Bitter opposition will bo found to the"
conference report also among the Pro
gressive Republicans who consider that
the teeth has been drawn from the bill by
the conferees.
Suggestions that a lobby has been
active In opposition to certain provisions
of the Clayton bill have been frequently
made hero during the last week, and
Senator Reed may demand an Investiga
tion by tho Senate Lobby Committee, of
which Senator Overman la chairman.
INDIVIDUALS HELD RESPONSIBLE,
Section 14 ot the bill says In part:
"Whenever a corporation shall violate
any of tho penal provisions of the
anti-trust laws, such vlolatlcn shall
be decmod to be also that of th
Individual directors, officers or agents
of such corporation who shall have
authorized, ordored or done any of
the acts constituting In whole or In
part bucIi violation, and such viola-'
tlon shall bo deemed a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction therefor of any '
such director, ofllcer or agent he shall
be punished by a fine of not execed
Ipg $3000 or by Imprisonment for not
exceeding one year, or by both, In
the discretion of the court.
Tho conferees fought for days over
tho price-fixing and antl-"tylng" pro
visions. Finally sections two and four,
which the Senate struck out of tho Hou
bill, were reinstated, but with the crim
inal penalty clauses cut out. In their
present form, they read In part:
Section 2. Thatvlt shall be unlawful
for any person engaged In commerce
In the course of such commerce, cither
directly or Indirectly, to discriminate
In price between different purchasers
of commodities, whore the ef
fect of such discrimination may be
to substantially lessen competition or
tend to create a monopoly In any line '
of commerce: Provided, that nothing
herein contained shall prevent dis
crimination In price between purchas
ers of commodities on account of dif
ferences in the grade, quality, or
quantity of the commodity sold, or
that makes only due allowance for
difference In the coat of selling or
transportation, or discrimination In
price In the same or different com
munities made in good faith to meet
competition; and provided, further,
