FORMAL COMPLAINTS FILED,
The wave of public sentiment against
the Increase In passenger rates proposed
by the three jallroads has grown to such
proportions that before a week has passed
virtually every community within a
radius of M miles of .Philadelphia, will be
organised to voice, a, united protest.
Three formal complaints against the
increase were filed with the Public
SerVlee Commission at Harrisburg yes
ter'Jsy and a number of others are being
prepared today In suburban towns. Per-
sortition Committee; of the Frankford
Board of Trade, said that he hoped to
)t7v completed late today the petition
which he will file at Harrisburg on be
half of the Board of Trade.

ASSOCIATION'S HOLD MEETINGS.
Tour meetings were held Inst night In

Mnnnytulk Ituslncsrf Meh's Association,
Main and Grape streets; tho 1'rankfortt

Other meeting!) hac been arranged at
Norrlstown, Ardmore, Wajne, Naiberth,
Ovcrbrook and Oak Lane.
Announcement of n date on which the
Public Service Commission will hear com
plaint Is eagerly awaited. Many of the
I a?oclntloni hac determined that It will
be best to make a personal protest rather
than Bend a fornnl letter, and for this
reason they nrc endeavoring to have a
data for a public hearing in Philadelphia
set promptly.
Two hundred commuters and many
other residents of Lansdnle are Indignant
at the Increase In passenger rates, but
no action to protest against the Increases
has been taken, although Burgess A II.
Landls said today that ha was willing to
call n meeting If It was the wish of tho
people. He said'
"From a business man's viewpoint the
Increase will bo a good thing for the
business men of Lnnsdale, but the com
munity nt largo will suffer. With In
creased rates of fare, our borough cannot
hope to grow, nnd It Is not likely that
many of the commuters will uro the lines
of tho Lehigh Valley Transit Companj
to get to their work In the clt, as tho
Journey'would require too much time nnd
it is necessary to change cars at Chest
nut Hill,"
Ambler Is aroused at the action of the
railroad, but It wns said today thnt no
meeting had been planned. Hllwood
Pose)-, the Burgess of Ambler, Is a com
muter hlmsolf.
SUBURBAN TENANTS ALAItMHO.
"Tho Increased rates don't nrfctt the
people living nearer the cltj so much as
It docs us," snld a real estate man of
Ambler, "and It Is bound to drive the
tenants who livo hero closer to their
work. When a man considers renting a
house out here he wilt Immediate! udd $S
train faro a month to his expenses. Many
will not pay that much to liavq a homo
In the countrj, nnd instead will seek a
homo In a more convonlcnt part of tho
city. Tho man who owns his own homo
nnd is cmplojed In the city has no al
ternative and has to pay tho Incrcnsed
fnres."
Residents living nlong the Main Lino of
the Heading havo already mado Inquiries
concerning tho rental of houses nnd
apartments In Tlogn. according to Charles
W. Hueter, president of the Tlogn Trust
Company nnd a real estate man, with
oftlcen at 1TCK1 West Tioga street.
"Since tho announcement of tho Increase
In railroad fnres, many residents of tho
suburbs have inude Inquiries nbout housei
In order to be nearer tho city and cut
down expenses," said Mr. Hueter. "The
railroad Is showing a bad spirit and the
Increased rates Is bound to drive tho
suburbanites nearer the city."
Ho declared that with seven car lines
running Into th city, many residents of
Tioga, who formerly used tho trains,
would go to their places of employment
on the trolleys.
Thnt tho Increase In railroad fares will
hasten the system of rapid transit In this
city is the opinion of William n. A'oll
mer, 4)21 Germantown avenue, u member
of the real estate firm Of Wick & Voll
mer.
"With the Increased fnres," sold Mr
Vollmer. "the people In this city will
urge that the now rapid trnnslt sstem
be started nt an early date "
Ho predicted that manj of tho icsl
dents of the suburbs, rather than pay the
new Tates, would move Into tho. city nnd
move Into houses In the northwestern
part of tho city.
NEW TRANSIT SYSTEM A FACTOR
Regardless of what may be the Influenco
upon suburban sections of an Increase in
rates, all unpleasantness for passengers
who ride to and from local stations in
the clt will bo eliminated by the con
struction of the proposed elevated and
subway lines Included In tho program of
tho City Transit Department, Director A.
Merrltt Taylor declared today.
The stations where passengers wilt
benefit particularly by the construction
of the Bubway and elevated lines arc
Frankford. Logan, Tioga, Wayne Junction
nnd Huntingdon street.
Director Taylor said
"Should there be a substantial Increase
In steam railroad passenger rates to local
stations in Philadelphia, the effect of
Buch Increase on Phlladelphlans will be
entirely eliminated by tho construction of
the recommended sunwny, elevated ana
necessary surface lines,
"Furthermore. Phlladelphlans will thus
be enabled to travel by way of the recom
mended system, more conveniently, com
fortably and economically than at pres
ent regardless of any possible change
of steam railroad local rates or sche
dules." In this connection It was pointed out
that any "Back-to-Phlladelplila. move
ment" among suburban commuters will
be another factor In bringing the pro
posed subway and elevated lines Into Im
mediate demand. Commuters who return
to Philadelphia on account of the In
creased faro 'will, without doubt, settle
lfi the outlying sections of the city. And
It will be these sections that the new
subway and elevated lines will partic
ularly benefit.
Officials of both the Pennsylvania and
Heading seem Inclined to discount the
uprising among commuters and suburban
residents as not worthy of serious con
sideration. "Merely newipaper talk" several of
them remarked when questioned as to
what official cognizance would be taken
of the rising protest. At both the Penn
sylvania and the Heading offices It was
said that the protests -would not be
recognized until they were formally made
to them.
The rumor that the proposed increase
is only a "club" to force through the
6 per cent, freight Increase was also
reported to the railroad officials. This
they refused to discuss. Edson J. Weeks,
general passenger agent for the Heading,
said: "We want the Increase because,
wo peed the money"
This, in substance, was the reason for
the Increase offered at the Pennsylvania
offices as well.

VILLA LAUGHS OVER TRICK
Occupies Town and Tells How Cnr
rnnza Was Checkmated by
Gutierrez.
LEON, State of Guamjuato, Mcx., Nov.
17 (Delayed In Transmission). Genernl
Villa, nt tho head of 22,000 troops, has
taken possession of this town Ho has
ordered General Angeles lo take lrasa
Into nnd General Scrvln to take Tamplco.
When asked if he expected a fight at
Qucrctaro, General Villa said:
"There will bo one big fight In thl new
war and thnt will take place nt Qucrc
taro and Puebla It is possible the Cnr
ranzistas will mnko only slight resistance
nt Queretnro, but I feel certain that they
will concentrate their cntlro strength for
tho defense of Puebln "
General Villa asserted that Carrnnza had
been cleverly trapped by General Gutier
rez. "When Pablo Gozalez sent a wlro
Aaylng tho only condition to be imposed
for tho retirement of Carranza was thnt
I leave the country, I had a lengthy con
ference with President Gutierrez In
which I offered to tender my resignation
and leave at onco for the United States,"
snld Villa "I told President Gutierrez,
however, that I did not bollove Carranza
counted upon mi' resignation and merely
Imposed this condition because he
thought It would be safe, being con
vinced that 1 would not comply with
the domand ,
"I told Gutierrez and others bj tele
graph thnt It would bo a good thing to
let Carrnnza know at onco that I wns
leaving tho country. I told them that If
Carranza wan slncero he would also an
nounce his readiness to give up the of
fice of First Chief and withdraw as I
had riofio. Gutierrez sent tho wire and
the trap was set.
"Not 24 hours later came Carranza's
frantic message imposing threo new and
absolutely impossible conditions. When
President Gutierrez wired mo tho text
of the Carranza's reply, I laughed until
my stomach ached. Carranza had fallen
Into tho trap. He proved to the conven
tion and to tha world that he never
would resign. If tlio convention accepted
his conditions ho would promptly Impose
a second crop and so on until the end
of time.
"Upon recoipt of old man's reply, I at
once ordered my men to put an end to
the armistice and advance ngalnst tho
Cnrranza forces with tho greatest possi
ble despatch."

WASHINGTON, Novf 18. Although un
official reports from MexIco Indicated

Secretary Bryan was today en route to
his winter home In Miami, Fla., for a,
brief vacation.
Even though there Is a renewal of hos
tilities the Administration officials here

OP GREATEST ERA
Continued from Pate One
Ing of the Federal Reserve Banks for
business,1
"I do not know that any special credit
belongs lo mo for the part I was prevt-
leged to play In the establishment of
this new system, of which we confidently
hope so much; In It the labor and knb-nl-edge
and forethought nnd practical ex
perience and sagacity of many men are
embodied men who have co-operated
with unusual wisdom and admirable pub
lic spirit.
"None of them, I am sure, will be Jeal
ous of the distribution of the praise for
fie great piece of legislation Upon which
the new sjetem resist they will only re
joice unselfishly to see the thing ac
complished upon which they haV set
their hearts.
! "It has ifono away with nglta'tion and
suspicion, because It has done away with
ertnln fundamental wrongs. It has sup
plied IneahA of accommodation In h
business worldi and ah Instrumentality
by which the Ihterests of all, without re
gard to closs, maj- rcadlty be served.
MONOPOLIES CONTltOLLDD
BUSINESS.
"Credit, the very life of trade, the very
nlr men must breathe If they meet their
opportunities, was too largely In the con
trol of the same small groups who had
planted and cultivated monopoly. Tho
control of all big business, and by con
sequence of all little business too, was for
the most part potentially. If not actually,
In their hands.
LABOIt CONDITIONS 1MPP.OVDD.
"Labor has been mado something else
In the view of the law than a mcro mer
cantile commodity something human and
linked with the privileges of life Itself.
Tho soil has everywhere been laid bare,
out of which monopoly Is slowly to be
eradicated. And undoubtedly the means
by which credit has been set free Is at
the heart of nil these thlngi, Is tho key
plcce of the whole structure.
"This Is the more significant because
of Its opportuncss. It Is brought to Its
final accomplishment just as it Is most
Imperatively needed, Tho wai, which has
Involved the whole of tho heart of Europe,
has made It necessary that tho United
States should mobilize Its resources In the
most effective wn) possible and make her
credit and her usefulness good for the
servlco of tho whole world
"It has created, too, special difficulties,
peculiar situations to bo dentt with, llko
the great embarrassment In selling our
Immense cotton crop, which alt tho world
needs, but against which, for tho tlmo
being, the markets of the world are in
dnngei of being artlfically shut.
"That situation tho bankers of the
country aro meeting, so far as possible.
In a buslnessllko fashion, and In the
spirit of tho new time vihlch Is opening
before us.
"Tho lallroads of the country are al
most as much affected, not so much be
cause their business Is curtailed, ns be
causo their credit Is called In question
by doubt ns to their earning cnonclU.
There Is no othor Interest so central to
he business welfare of tho country as
this. No doubt In the light of the new
day, with Its new understandings, the
problems of the railroads will also be
met and dealt with In a spirit of candor
and Justice.
"For the future is clear and bright with
promiso of the best things. While there
was agitation nnd suspicion and distrust
nnd bitter complaint of wrong, groups
and classes wero at war with one an
other, did not see that their Interests
were common( and suffered only when
separated and brought Into conflict.
CO-OPERATION ASSURES SUCCESS.
"Fundamental wrongs onco righted, as
they may now easily and quickly be, all
differences will cloar away. We are all
In the same boat, though apparently we
had forgotten It We now know the port
for which wa are bound. We have, and
shall have more and more, as our under
standings ripen, a common discipline of
patriotic purpose Wo shall advance, and
advance together, with n new spirit, a
new enthusiasm, a new cordiality of spir
ited co-operation. It Is an Inspiring pros
pect. Our task Is henceforth to work
not for any single Interest, but for alt tha
Interests of the country as a united
whole.
"The future will be very different from
the past, which we shall presently look
back upon, I venture to say, aa If upon
a bad dream. The future will be different
In action and different In spirt, a time
or healing, because a time of Just deal
ing and co-operation between men made
equal before the law In fact, as well as
In name.
"I am speaking of this because the
new banking system seems to me to
symbolize all of It. The opening of the
Federal Reserve Banks seems to me to
be the principal agency we have created
for tho emancipation we seek, November
lis, 1911, will ba notablo as marking the
time when we were best able to realize
Just what had happened.
"In the anxious times through which
we have been passing, you have, my
dear Mr. Secretary, been able to do many
notewortny tilings to strengtnen and fa
cilitate the business operations of the
countr . Henceforth, you have a new In
strument at hand, which will render many
parts of your task easy. I heartily con
gratulate you upon the part you your
self have played In Its conception and
creation, and upon the successful com
pletion of thq difficult .work of organiza

loved country whose lasting prosperity
and happiness we so earnestly desire,

PANAMA CANAL
WEAKLY PROTECTED
Continued from race One
pending conflict. All military persons
recognize that the proposed garrison In
the Hawaiian Islands Is far below what
It should be to meet a serious attack, un
less wo have on the Pacific coast an ade
quate force ready to dispatch when trou
ble Is impending.
ISOLATION NOT PROTECTION
ENOUGH.
"While the Isolation of the United
State by water from other great Powers
Is admitted In the report to be an un
doubted protection, that protection Is de
clared to be limited by two main factors:
The power of our fleet to protect the coun
try from invasion over those seas and our
ability to assemble rapidly at tho points
oflebatkatlon selected by an enemy, an
adequate force todclay, If not provent,
his effecting a lodgment on our shores.
The difficulty thus renresented Is llim.
trated by the fact that enemy traversing
th seas would have a wide choice of
landing points or points tit attack."

SARCASTIC MEANS '
TO HIT AT WILSON
nfrW Motion ReducInK As
sistant Health Dircctdfe i
Salary From $4000 to T '
$900 a Year.
Organisation members of Councils are,
continuing the effort to oust Alexander
M. Wilson, Assistant Director of the De-
partment of Health and Charities, who J
assumed office at tho beginning of the 4 '
Blankenburg Administration. , ,k,
It became known today that during thj
consideration of tho Health Department', t
budget for 1915 by tho Councllmanld Com-)
mllteo on Health and Charities, one of th
Councllmen offered a motion that the !-.,
ary of the Assistant Director be r-
duced from $1000 to $900 a rear.
Director Harte, of tho Health Departs,
ment, attending the session of the com i
mlttee held last week during an Inspec1 '
tlon of the city's hospitals and rharl- ,
table Institutions, vigorously protested '
against the passage of the motion. H
appeased tho Councllmen In a measure?
by Inforrrlng thorn that Assistant DI-. r
rector Wilson had given permission that
his namo be considered for appointment
as tho head of a private Institution, and "
tnat in uie event or nis selection, sir iu
Wilson would certainly leave the employ A

COUNCILMAN TRINKLU'S ACTIVITT.
Dr. W. W Trlnkle, Common Council
man and lieutenant of David II. Lane In
tho 20th Ward, Is chairman of the Health
and Charities Committee that has always
opposed Assistant Director Wilson.
Doctor Trlnkle was also the sponsor or
the resolution Introduced In Common
Council recently aimed to oust Director
Norrls from the Department of Wharves,
Dock and Ferries because he had been
nppolnted a nonsalarled director In the.
Federal Reserve Bank. ,
Keen anticipation of Assistant Director-
Wilson's hoped'for resignation among the
Organization Councllmen has even )
them to framing a sarcastic resolution
supposed to express the deep regret felt
by Councils at Mr. Wilson's resignation.
Plana wero made for tho Introduction
of this mensure to enliven tomorrow'!,
session of Common Council.
But Assistant Director Wilson has not
resigned He said today he understood(
his name is being considered among ocners
.,.- . 1.1- I-....... 1... o.lrTl

he would resign Ho added he was not
considering resigning, excepting under tlyt
VUIIU111U1I HO UUlllllCU,
"Conditions In the department are not
such thnt would Impel me to resign," he
said. j.
It Is rumored that Mr, Wilson Is being J
considered as tho head for the Carson J
Home for Girls that Is heavily endowed
and win be built In tho near future.
PROGRESSIVENESS BRINGS ANTAG- ""
ONISM.
Assistant Director Wilson's progressive
policies In the Health Department early
Incurred the enmity by Councils. This
antagonism reached a climax when Mr.
Wilson was acting director of the de
partment during tho Illness of Doctor
Neff, the then director.
Since the appointment of Doctor Harte
ns Director of the JJealth Department,
the activities of Assistant Director Wlt-
sun have not come to tho attention of.
uouncus as rorciDiy as in rormer nays.
Last year Councils attempted to oust
Assistant Director Wilson by Inserting a
proviso to the item of the salary of the
Assistant Director of Health and Char
ities that the incumbent be a physician'
This was declared by the courts a viola
tion of the State law founding the de
partment and Council's ousting efforts
were futile.
