On ft fugitive Indictment procured In
Quarter Sessions Court, Thomas W. Mc
Neil, ft former lawyer of this city, will
be brought back from New York today
by Special Agent Oasklll, of tho P. H. T.
Company, to face charges of embezzling
$2000 from ft 70-year-old client, Thomas
J. Honors.
Tito alleged embezzler was arrested two
weeks ago after a coaRt to coast chase.
He disappeared In 1907, according to Agent
Gaoltlll. leaving Ilogcra and tho lattcr'a
aged wife, an almost helpless Invnlld,
practically destltude, after having col
lected 12000 damages for them. Itogcrs
died In n poor-house In Baltimore, his
death hastened, It Is charged, by tho
loss of his money.
FOREST FIRES RAGE

ered. GARDENER'S HOME IN TEIHL.
Suplot's home Is on a knoll In tho centre
of a large estate devoted to gardening.
Bofore the flro had been blazing long the
owner realized that his estate was In dan
ger. Workmen immediately started to
throw up mud embankments to keep back
the blaze. Heavy lines of garden hose
were run out and other men worked with
wet blankets.
The smoke of the edges of the woods
waa swept away by the wind, but In tho
centre of tho heavily wooded sections It
was so thick that several llremen wero
almost overcome by tho fumes. Showers
of burning leaves and twigs, carried long
distances by the wind, kept starting new
fires until the firemen hardly knew
which way to turn.
It Is believed that the flre at 72d street
and Haverford avenue was caused by
boys starting a bonfire, which was blown
Into tho woods by the wind. The other
blnzo, It Is thought, was started by a
spark from n Pcnniylvanla Ilallroad loco
motive. The loss has not been estimated
at either place, but In each many line
trees uero ruined.

estimated. Several other buildings In tho
path of the flames were saved by tho fire
men. Frederick Carllne and Beveral others
who went to the assistance of firemen
were more or less seriously burned. All
refused to be tnlcen to a hospital and
were treated by physicians at the scene.
The blaze started about noon In the
carding room of the factory. Employes
had no difficulty In getting out of the
burning building. Firemen of tho local
company soon realized that they could
not hope to control the flames nnd culls
were sent to Bristol and Langhorne for
aid.

"The elimination of tho speculator nnd
tho stock Jobber from the utility field and
the establishment of utility Investments
upon a snfo, conservative, nonspeculatlvo
basis. Is to my mind a fundamental con

Tho corporation viewpoint on tho regu

by Nathaniel T. Guernsey, general coun

obviously favored regulation by n btato

LOWER COST OF LIGHTING.
Co-opcratlon on the part of nil the
cities In tho country in dealing with
light rate problems would mnterlnlly re
duce the cost of lighting tho streets bf
Philadelphia, asserted Rny Palmer, Com
missioner of Gas and Electricity of Chl
cipn, nt tho morning session. ,
"For mnny yenrs most cities In tho
United States havo been ttylng to solvo
Individually problems relating to their
local lighting rates without proper
knowledge nnd Investigation of tho sub
jects to find out what benefits havo been
accomplished by other cities under sim
ilar local conditions," said Mr Palmer
"In other words, there has been n lack
of -co-opcrntlon on tho part of our mu
nicipalities In dealing with light rnto
problems. Too llttlo publicity hns been
given low rato settlements made by util
ity corporations witn cities.
"High rntcs nro many times tho re
sult of bad politics or a lack of knowl
edge on tho part of members of tho
Council who approve of contract ordi
nances or yearly contracts nllowlng high
rates. Public utility companies In one
city may havo moro political Influence
than In nnother. resulting In tho passing
of unsntlsfnctory rate mensttres, involv
ing the giving away of rights which
should remain with the city.
"It coita Philadelphia $7GC a year lo
light many of Its business corners where
eight lamps, at a unit cost of JOT per year,
aio Installed, whllo It costs Chicago only
fiza for the lighting of its best lighted
corners, that Is, two naming arcs, at J7S
per ore, on underground construction,
which Includes maintenance, operation
and fixed charges."
Mr. Palmer quoted figures showing that
It cost Philadelphia In 1913 ,2,3.10.000 to
light 1770 miles of streets and alleys, whllo
It cost Chicago only ;i,473,10O to light 4523
miles of streets and alleys. The cost to
Philadelphia, he said, was relatively four
times ns great as that to Chlcngo. Phila
delphia also pays as high n retail rato for
lighting as any city In tho United States,
ho said.
I.OUIS BRANDCIS SPEAKS.
"Tho ultimate remedy for tho system
of Interlocking directorates, In addition
to trust-curbing legislation, Is to bo
found In a combination of municipalities
such ns will bo effected through the pub
lic utilities bureau being organized nt
tho confetence of 'Mayors." This , Is n
statement made by Louis Urnndols, of
Boston, one of tho leading iintl-trust
lawyers, formerly counsel for the Inter
state Commerce Commission, nnd nt
present tho special attorney for the Fed
eral Government In chat go of the New
Haven prosecutions.
"There are two remedies for the evils
of Interlocking directorates," said Mr,
Brandels. "One Is legislation siich as
the Clajton bill. The other Is this con
ference. ''The only way to meet the great In
fluence of Interlocking tllrectotntes tcv tlio
wide extent that the business interests
ure bound together. Is through combin
ing the cities together, Wo nro to meet
financial combinations by niunlclpal co
operation. When this Is widely done wo
shall have Justice to capital and com
munity allko.
"The evils of stock watering by pub
lic service corporations nre due to con
cealed facts." said Mr. Bjandels, "Tho
system of interlocking directorates and
of directors who do not direct must be
abolished. It Is Impossible for directors
of Interlocking directorates to direct
properly," he said, "because It Is Im
possible for them to have the knowledge
of the truth and facts which they must
have to do justice to their duties.
"The gravest objection I have to In
terlocking directorates," said Mr. Bran
dels, "Is that the system has created a
financial power so great that men whom
we have regarded as great and who
are morally great have found them
selves: Influenced by the great wall of
power which forms Itself around them."
In the case of the New Haven direc
tors, he said, their manipulations wero
due more to ignorance than to wrong
Intent. ,
"The '"whole public utilities question."
said Mr. Brndeisv "is an effort to ob
tain Justice for both sides. This can
only be attained by a careful regard
to the fundamental facts, whleh relate
to the cost of the plant and of opera
tion. Careful, noeurato information can
be obtained only hy ooipperotioit among
the agencies Interested
"The putdio service corporations have
had co-operation. The municipalities
have not. This conference provides not
only the plan, but the Instrument. The
effeet of this conference will be felt in
all parts of the United States."
Mayor Dlankenburg sounded the key
note of the eoaferen.ee by asserting. "We
are not here to harass the public utili
ties corporations." He said the latent

"Tho fight In Colorado wns not for
moro wages. It wns mni consuiuum
rights be given to the workers. Colorado
hns some of tho finest labor laws. Hut
theso laws nro cast aside, not by the
workers, but by the high class burgltirs.
Tho fight In Colorado. In West Virginia
and Calumet Is a light for in end
"Thcro was a stnto of peonage In est
Virginia such ns tho world never saw.'
Mother Jones rclntcd a brief history of

Michigan nnd Colorado. She told of the
hatred prevalent In thes'c States between

Jesus, has a trained army of gunmen
whom ho sends to beat down Ills work
men when they go out on strike"
"No nntlon In tho world has ever ad
vanced," cited Mother Jones, "has ever
advanced with tho working class crushed.
DRAGQnn FROM BED.
In the fight In West Virginia sho told
how she wns dragged out of bed one
morning by tho company's private mllltla,
nnd told to got out of tho State and
"never como buck."
"Well, you enn tell a man to do some
thing, but when ou tell a woman not
to come back you can bet sho won't obey.
"But I want to say that thero Is no
net committed by man for which woman
Is not moto or less responsible.
"If sho had tlevotril her tltno to sooth
ing his ku.irq btenst, perhaps wo would
not havo so man snvagos among us."
Sho then discussed tho situation In Colo
tndo. and charged that tho rights of the
miners In Colorado wero disregarded en
tirely by tho Colotndo Fuel and It on
dnmrmnv nnd the Stnto nuthotltles.

pnnj" tn an armored automobile, on
which n number of guns were mounted,
nttempted to create a riot In Trinidad,
Col., nt n time when Governor Amnions
was In town, "In older to compel him to
send tho mllltla into1 town "
"Mother" Jones then told of a meeting
she had with General Villa Boon nfter
the No.v Mexico mlno disaster, when she
told Villa "It would bo a good thing If
you camo over to see us a llttlo bit;
wo need jou."
She asserted that when told by Gov
ernor Amnions to Htny out of Colorado sho
said: "I told him that no Governor as
yet owns this, country, nor President.
The Standard Oil Company may have a
mortgage on It, but wo aio very soon
going to remove it.
"Arriving In Trinidad I was arrested.
I was met by the mllltla of General Chnse
with fixed bayonets, and the greatest
light In the history of thin country took
place when that army fought nn EO-year-old
woman.
A HUGO NUCDUD
"You will never grasp tho atrocities In
Colorado tnless another Victor Hugo
comes to portra them. Children wero
burned nnd roasted to death and upon tl'ie
mangled hearts of thoso llttlo children
Is built tho fortune of John D. Rocke
feller. "When I heard the screams of those
children, I said, 'Oh, my God, I wish I
could sent1 those rcreams to Washington:
perhaps they would move men to action,'
