REGULATION POLICY
FOR STREET CARS
Director Praises Work of
Public Utility Commissions
at Atlantic City Conven
tion Urges Co-operation.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. Oct. 12.
Machinery roared and rumbled In fine ex
hibit halls on the Million Dollar Pier this
morning, when three sectional branches
of the American Electric Hallway Assocd
atlon, on engineering, claims nnd trans
portation, and trafllo opened their meet
ings. Two specials from St Louis nnd
ChlcAgo brought soveral hundred dele
gates here today. More than 23'K5 dele
gates are already here and additional con
tingents are expected.
Trolley mcneneraUy today Indorsed
a statoment made by Director A. Merrltt
Taylor, of Philadelphia, that the work nt
public servloo commissions havo been of
Imrrif no aid In fostering co-operation and
greater harmony between the public and
common carriers nnd should not be ham
pered. N;o company In public service, the
director said, should try to oppose the
impartial and energetic attitude of such
commissions.
Westerners today prophesied that tho
steel trolley Is going to become as pop
ular In city railway transportation as
the steel passenger coach because of
the way steel-framed cars "stood up" in
wrecks on high-grade lines during the
last year. Noxt to "safety first" and
"getting closer to the people," taxation
and vnluatlon will be th foremost slogans
of the big shore convention.
C. L. S. Tlngley, of Philadelphia, sec
ond vlco president of the American Rail
ways Company, will discuss the former
subject here. Eastern railway men, who
have been pessimistic on the subject of
regulation, could scarcoly credit the dec
laration today of Frank B. Ford, of New
York, that tho total rovenuo of trolley
lines has more than doubled In ten years.
PROVOST PLEADS FOR HOME
Head of U. of P. Says Grenter Devo
tion to Childron Needed.
A plea for greater devotion to home and
children nnd less club life and bridge by
the fathers nnd mothers was made by
Provost Smith, of the University of Penn
sylvania, at a union meeting In the In
terests of the school nnd the home In the
Princeton Presbyterian Church, Powelton
nnd Saunders avenues, yesterday.
Doctor Smith urged that the old-time
religious teachings, such as were given
children 25 and 50 years ago, be revived,
nnd declared that no chair In moral
philosophy can do the work that such
teachings can, if the parents practice
what they preach.
"Vou mothers must cut bridge and you
fathers must cut the club, if vou want
your children to come through school nnd
college to the problems of life -with tho
mornl and religious fibre that you deslra
so much." said Doctor Smith.
Flags Presented to Churches

of

Washington Council, No. 52S Order of In
dependent Americans. The Rehoboth
Methodist Episcopal Church also received
a flag from Frankford Council, No. 174
