BURNING PASSENGER TAKEN
TO ENGINE HOUSE ON CAR
Trolley Crew Refuses to Watt for Aid
to Relievo Man.
When It takes to long for the firemen to
go to n lire It Is a good Idea to take the
fire to tho engine house.
This plan was resorted to today by tho
motormnn and conductor of a Brldesburg
trdlley when tho car and one of the pas
sengers suddenly became ablaze.
Tho passenger, Albert Cahlll, of By
berry, had thp whole car to himself, so
he stretched Out to get the worth of his
money. Cahlll was not feeling especially
sociable, so ho Jumped up Indignantly
when the conductor yelled "Klrkbrldo'sl"
Ho declared ho wus perfectly sane and
sat down. But ho Jumped up again In n
moment and It was noticed that tho tall
of his coat was afire. The blaze was
caused bv the overheating ot an air pump.
The motorman knew the engine houso of
Company No. 33 was a dozen blocks away,
so he started the blazing car In that
direction. Cahlll sat In different spots
with his blazing coat, leaving nnother
Are behind him every time ho arose.
Finally the conductor forced him to tho
floor and sat on him.
When the car reached the engine houso
John AVest wns the only fireman awake.
He and the motorman found the con
ductor and passenger wrestling on tho
floor. A bath with a hose suddenly ended
tho tight, and both men wcro dragged out.
Tho tire was then quickly extinguished.

COUNCILS' DELAY
HOLDS UP $400,000
FOR UNEMPLOYED
Director Cooke Urges 'Action
on Ordinance Authorizing
U G. I. to Iijiprove Light
ing of Streets.
Dlrtctor Cooke, of the Department of.
Public Werke, today requested Maror
Blankenburg to urge Councils to act upon
an ordinance that has been pending for
several months which would provide em
ployment for Idle men by the expenditure
of 1100,000.
Tho measure authorlies the United. G
Improvement Company to change 11,009
street gasoline lamps to gaslahips by ex
tension of Its mains. All cost of the
operation that would provide work for
the Idle would be paid by the company.
Director Cooke asserts that PreMdeht
Bodlne, of tho gas company, has advised
him that the corporation had made all
preparations for start of tho work as soon
as Councils gives proper authorisation.
In addition to the benefits that the pas
sago of the ordinance would give to 'the
city's unemployed, a saving, of approxi
mately ?60,000 a year would be effeoted
for the city by the change of the .lamps,
from gasoline to gas.
More than a year ago City Solicitor
Ryan gave an opinion that established
tho legality of the transfer of the lamps
from gasoline to gas by compelling the
United Gas Improvement Company to
extend Its mains under the terms of Its
lease.
By that action the gas Illumination
would be furnished the city free of cost.
At present the 11.000 gasoline lamps nre ,
provided by the Welsbach Street Lighting
Company at a cost to tho city.
Although the ordinance authorising that
transfer was Introduced months ago.
Councils have failed to take action that
would provide work for the Idle at no
expense, to the city, and further would
eflcct a saving of 160,000 a year. Mayor
Blankenburg will present to Councils in
message tne assertions of Director
a
Cooke.

SICKLY STUDENTS UNDESIRED
Dr. Mackenzie Says Penn Wants
Only Physically Fit.
That the physically unlit, whoso chances
for improved health nre slight, should nut
be admitted to universities Is the belief
of Dr. It. Talt Mackenile, physical di
rector of the University of Pennsylvania,
whose Ideas are similar to those ax-
pressed by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia Unlverstty, In his
annual report madepubllc today. Doctor
Butler declared only persons who are phy
sically tcund should be permitted to enter
Columbia. It Is a waste of effort and
money to educate the physically unfit, his
report asserts,
"Every student at the university under
goes a physical examination before he Is
admitted," Doctor Mackenzie sold today,
"We do not refuse to accept as students
those who are In bad health, because
under such care as we can recommend
their condition Is often susceptible to
treatment. However, If we find any stu
dent suffering from a chronic affliction, It
Is the custom to advise the parents
against admitting him. We have about
six -such cases each year."
Doctor Mackenzie considers studying in
jurious to those In chronic II) health.
"After nil," he said, "it is the man's
own affairs. He should be told what tha
examination shows, but If he chooses to
continue I den't see why any one should
prevent It."

PRESIDENT WILSON REFUSES
LIKENESS FOR USUAL MEDAL
Falls to Follow Custom Followed by
Other Executives.
President Wilson's delay In authorising
the local mint to make medals emblazoned
with his likeness for the public. In ac
cordance with a custom established by
former Presidents, Is considered unusual
by officials here. Presidents usually au
thorize the Mint to strike off medals
shortly after the inauguration, and those
imeresiea are at a loss to understand
Mr. Wilson's delay. '
Several months ago the President was
unable to see the artist sent to him to
make a model for the medal because of
the pressure of official duties. Later a
facsimile of the propose medal made
from a photograph was sent for his ap.
proval, and he ordered It destroyed v
further action regarding the medals will
be taken until the President orders It, it
was said at the Mint today.
