tion Pouring in Accom
modations Limited to 600.
The committee Irt chnrgro of "Ths
TVortd'a Greatest Workshop" dinner to
bo held In the Manufacturers' Club next
Tuerdny evening, announced today thdt
accommodations for tho dinner have been
limited to 600, and all acceptances re
ceived after that number has been
reached will have to bo refused. Tho
first mall this morning brought tho num
ber of acceptances considerably above
IW. and It Is expected that the accommo
dation limit will be reached early this
afternoon.
The overwhelming- response from the
leading representatives of tho city's
bariklnc, manufacturing and maritime In
terests to the appeal for co-dpcratlon In
the campaign to advertise Philadelphia
at homo and abroad as "The World's
Greatest Workshop" surprised oven tho
moat optimistic members of tho com
mittee which has sponsored tho move
ment. It was first Intended to Invite COO rep
resentative Phlludelphlane, captains of
Industry, transportation chiefs, banking
nnd merchant leaders, to tho dinner, no
quests for accommodations came so
rapidly, however, that all prearranged
plans wero discarded, nnd nni t
Trigg, chairman of the committee, called
n, special meeting yesterday afternoon In
the Bourse to determine how tho situa
tion should be met
At tho meeting yesterday it was ex
plained that the room whero the dinner
Is to be held would accommodate only
W)0 persons, nnd for this reason the com
mittee was" forced to announco that all
acceptances over that number would
have to be refused.
The plan for a co-operative movement
to exploit Philadelphia's Industrial pre
eminence) has grown so rapidly that the
success of whatever schemes may be
rtRrfled upon at the dinner are virtually
assured. RepresentatUe leaders from
every branch of Philadelphia's manifold
-Industries hayo rallied to the movement,
and the leaders In the campaign confi
dently prophesy that the dinner next
Tuesday evening will Inaugurate a new
Commercial era for Philadelphia.
WJule the, committee has been work
ing for mors than two months to devise
wayo and means to conduct the cam
paign, ho details have been made public
ns yet. A definite program will be
adopted at the dinner and the campaign
to promote Philadelphia will be formally
launched at that time.
TRANSIT PICttLBRS
SCHEME EXPOSED
SUFFRAGISTS MAKE FINAL
APPEAL TO LEGISLATORS
Lawmakers Bounded Up for Mon
day's Vote nt Harrisburf.
Encouraged by the recent success of the
equal suffrage movement In neighboring
States, suffragists In Pennsylvania are now
making a last effort to reach every legls-
lator at Harrlsburg before tho vote on the
suffrage bill next Monday and to solicit
the support of each-for the measure. To
accomplish this "rounding up" of the
., lawmakers many prominent BUflraglsts
from all sections of the Stato are now In
Harrlsburg making a canvass. While
their sisters are seeing them personally,
other fighters for the "cause" are ad-
dressing letters to' each, urging them to
j.vVpte In favor of the measure.
More than 200 of these letters were
3 mailed today by Mrs.H Wilfred Lewis.
( .president of the Equal Franchise Society.
85 South 9th street They read as follows:
"This society, representing more than
a 700 men and women, hopes that Pennsyl
vania's Representatives will follow fh
example of the New York and New Jer
sey Legislatures In giving a unanimously
favorable vote to tho woman suffrage
Whether they are successful or not In
getting a favorable recentlon nt th hln
suffragists In this city are steadily mak
ing plans to Increase their strength for u
CTejter fight for tho right to vote equally
with men. Committees and branches have
been formed throughout the city, and are
busily at work soliciting new members
and supporters. Notices for a meeting
of the Organization Committees of the
Equal Franchise Society on Saturday,
February 13, were sent this morning to
the pfllcers ot the society's various di
visions. Among those to whom these were sent
are Miss Mny IC Flannery, who has
charge of the Main Line division: Mm.
H;,M,oryanVln We.at Philadelphia; Mrs.
Harry Lowenburg. In the northern part
of the city, nnd Miss Eleanofe Goepp,
Mrs. A. M. Sweet. Mrs. F, M. Shenard
and Miss Curtis Wager-Smlth. Miss Mary
H. Ingam will preside at the meeting.
Contlnned from Pate One
loan Is the same as It was months ago
when the Items of the 111,300,000 loan were
dcAlunated. AM Item of J500.000 for relo
cation of sewers In the central section of
the city Was Included only when the Or
ttarllratton leaders saw clear Indications
of a storm of public protest.
VVDhta AWAP.H OF 18Btm
Advocates of the transit plan scoffed to
day at the Indicated Intention of the Pen-rose-McNlchol
forces to play their ob
John P. Connelly, who In turn directs his
slructlon policy through the Influenco of
followers In tho Flnanco Committee.
It Is the contention of tjio sponsors for
transit that the Philadelphia public knows
the Issue beforo It rind that the publlo
has been educated In tho transit project
The 130,000,000 for transit, It Is pointed
out, ta to be borrowed solely on the ad
ditional capacity allowed the city by
the lait Legislature on the assessment of
personal property. That rtmount would be
spent over a term of years of actual sub
way and elevated construction.
The $10,000,000 for sewnire dlsnosnl wntitil
likewise be spent over a term of yearn
and would bo borrowed on the capacity
allowed by general assessment.
The City Controller In his report sub
mitted to Councils at the last meeting
fixed the borrowing Capacity of tho city
or un purposes in excess or ,UW,UQU.
Legislation now pending at Harrlsburg
would lucreaso Philadelphia's borrowing
capacity almost to 100,000,000. Even with
the additional borrowing capacity con
sumed by loans for nil contemplated Im
provements, Philadelphia would still have
a not debt far below other cities of com
parative importance.
Greater borrowing power afforded by
the pending legislation at Harrlsbure
would permit Philadelphia to enter an
era of civic development with simultane
ous construction of transit nnd sewage
disposal systems nnd other works of Im
portance. The need of a sewago dlsposnl
system, It Is pointed out, Is not an argu
ment, financial or otherwise, against im
mediate start of subway work.
Tho millions for transit could be ex
pended only In a term of years, as could
the millions for a sewago disposal plant.
A bill that already has the approval of
Councils' Legislative Committee will be
Introduced In the Legislature to allow
Philadelphia to execute contracts for
public betterments to the amount of
money actually appropriated Instead of
waiting until the authorization of a
loan for tho total cost of the Improvement
is made.
That mcasuro will allow Philadelphia
to start a transit system, a sewage dis
posal system and other works even though
only a portion of tho total cost of the
completed project la appropriated. Tho
Increased borrowing capacity of the city
would provide tho working capital for
carrying on the Improvement.
Itevenucs estimated to accrue to the city
from a completed transit sjstem will bo
even exceeded by the great revenues from
taxation that will follow realty develop
ment at tho completion of the new high
speed transit system.
The transit plan will open realty de
velopment that will similarly Increase as
sessments and augment constantly the
city's borrowing capacity.
TAYLOR ANSWERS
nnd Independent citizens have united In
denouncing the attitude of Connelly and
Soger. Hints of political deals are openly
made The United Business Men's As
sociation Is considering the feasibility of
calling n mass-meetlng similar to that
held In the Academy of Music.
Members of the Transportation Com
mittee sold today that Mr. Connelly would
probably be Invited to the meeting to
explain to Philadelphia his right to Ig
hore the demands of a million and a
half pcrsotls.
Rumors of new obstruction to the tran
sit program through a suggestion at Har
rlsburg to make up the deficit In the
main's nnatirn hv diverting B. portlott
of the personal property tax from the
counties, were declared groundless by
Senator Sproul. Senator SproUl said such
a suggestion had been considered, but
when It was pointed out that to divert
the personal proporty assessment from
Philadelphia to the State at this time
would mean a delay of at least two years
I ihe transit program here, tho pro
posal had been discarded.
TAYLOR ON TAX SCHEME.
When shown a copy of a public report
from Harrlsburg that an attempt would
bo mado to enact legislation making per
sonal property taxable for Stato purposes
Instcnd of city purposes, Director Taylor
said: ,
"Phlladelphlans will surely rise up and
resist tho passage of any bill which may
bo Introduced In tho Legislature for tho
purpose of making personal property tax
able for Stato purposes Instead of city
purposes.
"Personal property was made taxable
for city purposes by the Legislature In
1913.
"Tho assessed valuation of taxable per
sonal property thus became nn additional
basis upon which the city's 7 per cent,
borrowing capacity is calculated and by
this means the city gained an additional
borrowing capacity of over $10,000,000,
which Is essential to the transit develop
ment. "Phlladelphlans well remember tho dif
ficulty which they had In securing this
added borrowing .capacity In 1913, and
they would not think of giving It up
without a vigorous fight
"I have communlcntcd with Senator
Sproul and ho has advised mo that sev
eral methods were under consideration
for Increasing tho Stato's revenuo and
that the personnl property tax, which
now goo-! to tho various counties, was
one of tho Items under discussion, also
that It was thought by some that tht
tax might be diverted In whole or In part
to the State. Ho further stated to me
that, In view of tho fact that such legis
lation would dcprlvo Philadelphia of over
110,000,000 borrowing capacity, and on ac
count of tho dlfllcultles It would lend to
In other counties, he docs not regard tho
suggested legislation ns feasible or ad
visable nnd that he does not believe It
will ever be seriously considered."
AN ARTIST'S MISTAKE
This Is the Yale seal on which an
artist, in drawing a new design,
put a curlycue on two of the He
brew characters, making the
motto read "Curses and Farmers"
instead of "Truth and Light."
YALE MOTTO ODDLY ALTERED
Just a Little Slip Gives Significance
Not Intended.
When a learned nnd pious committee
framed tho design nnd motto for tho
shield of Yalo Unlvorslty It cortalnly
meant It to read, "Truth nnd Light." But
'tis tho little things of life- that count
nnd now one. llttlo mistake has mado the
motto read "Curses and Farmers."
Tho motto Is In Hebrew. Dr. Morris
Jastrow, of tho University of Pennsyl
vania, today explained tho mistake. A
llttlo hook was added to a "waw," thus
changing It to a "rcsh." Tho first letter
of "urlm," meaning "light," and tho sec
ond of "tumlm," meaning "truth," Is
"waw." Rut when "urlm is used with a
"resh" tho meaning Is altered to
"curses," while tho changed "tumlm" Is
an ancient Hebrew word probably mean
ing farmer. Now, therefore, Yale's motto
reads, In bold nnd brazen figures:
"Curses and Farmers."
LAUGHTER NEARLY SPOILS
TOM THUMB MOCK WEDDING
Children Tako Part In Ceremony at
Narberth.
A 3-year-old bridesmaid at n "wedding"
at Narberth convulsed the tOO guests with
laughter and nearly broke up tho cere
mony lost night,
The "wedding" was a Tom Thumb af
fair, given at Elm Hall Under tho auspices
of tho Ladles' Aid Society of tho Nar
berth Presbyterian Church. Miss Cynthia,
Smith, a 3-year-old "bride" wore a bridal
veil nnd u "married" to "Billy" Hen
derson, 3 years old, by the "Rev." Ran
dolph Miller, S years old,
Sixty children look part In the affair,
nnd everything went as per program until
Miss May Stone, one of tho "bridesmaids"
becamo annoyed with her long train,
which twined about her feet, and raised
It nearly to her knees to prevent It from
tripping her.
When this occurred the ccromony was
going on, and the guests laughed so
heartily that It was with difficulty that
the "minister" could make himself heard.
Little Keith Ablo and William Barker
did their best to prcservo order while
th& wedding was being held, but their
antics only added to tho amusement of
the affair.
Five-year-old Stanton Nlckerson was
tho "father" of tho brldo and gavo her
away, and "Billy" Caldwell was tho best
man and marched up to tho minister with
tha "bride" on his arm. Dorothy Jacoby

OPPONENTS.
But Philadelphia -nlll have rapid tran
sit "The coterie of obstructionists,"
which has prevented tho Flnnnce Com
mittee of Councils from favorably report
ing the bill which provides for a special
election on the J30.000.000 transit loan,
will suffer the consequences of public
wrath and bo compelled to faco an up
rising of the people such ns the city has
never witnessed.
These statements, embodied In a vltrolic
address made by Transit Director Taylor
before the Business Science Club In the
Hotel Adelohla last night, were the uni
versal subject of comment In political
and business circles today. Director Tay
lor predicted thut the public demonstra
tion would take place within the next 30
days unless John P. Conncllv. hn
McNIchol lieutenant, chairman of the
Flnanco Committee, called a meeting of
the body and took action upon tho transit
measure.
"This uprising," said Director Taylor,
"will bo one which a certain coterlo ot
obstructionists will have to bear the
brunt These men, mocd by subtle Influ
ences, subtly asserted, are going to suf
fer. They cannot thwart the development
of rapid transit. I know the temper of
tho people. They cannot thwart the will
of the people.
Then followed a declaration which
brought prolonged cheers from the club
members. 'We are going to have rapid
transit."
DUTY OF CITIZENS.
Not only did Director Tajlor score the
politicians who nre holding upMhe tran
sit program after It has been Indorsed
by every business nnd civic association
in the city and by the citizens at large,
but he again went deep Into the general
project of giving the city the finest sub
way and high-speed surface lines In the
country. In touching upon the over
crowding condition ot the present system
he said:
"Yes, t contend It Is absolutely Inrtrrmt
for your wives and daughters to travel,
packed In like sardines, with all sorts and
kinds of men. If you men are willing to
stand It, remember that you owe something-
to your wives and daughters, the
Wives and daughters of your friends.
"Do you want to keep your city a city
ui mumuuai nomes or let it become a
city of tenements and flats?" he asked.
"With 30,000 people coming In each year
It's up to you to say."
"This city stands for Its contractual
obligations with the P. R. T" he de
clared. "In urging this plan, I have not
insisted that the P. R T. lose anything
by co-operating with the city. But ir the
city builds these lines, the P. R. T. will
be forced to equip and operate them, cr
go out of business. We will get a com
pany from outside to do It, and you know
what the result will be."

JANGLE OF TELEPHONES
AN INCESSANT WARNING
TO CHAIRMAN CONNELLY
Philadelphia Is beginning to drive homo
to John P. Connelly the fact t'nat It
wants real rapid transit and Intends to
get It. Tho chairman of Councils' Fi
nance Committee, guarded by an In
scrutable secretary, nn offlco boy that
naming can abash and a door on which
tho word "private" stands out llko a
toll gato barring a road, stilt is being
reached by Phlladelphlans.
The Insistent call for rapid transit Is
penetrating through the elaborate sjs
tem of protection and privacy developed
bs American business men that John P.
Connelly lias adopted In his 15th floor
office In the Land Title Building. It Is
the kind of a call that wears down
obstacles.
Tho scene In Connelly's outer office.
where an Evbnino Ledqeu reporter
waited IS minutes seeking lnnformation
from Mr. Connelly, affords a good Idea
of the temper of Philadelphia on transit.
In thoso 18 minutes no less than 24 tele
phono calls were counted.
The office boy Is a youth wise beyond
his years. He may talk to strangers, but
he says nothing Already he is develop
ing tho armor of Inscrutability, worked
to the nth power by his employer. Yet
the offlco boy Is still young, and he is not
over supplied with patience.
The Jingle of the telephone bells when
the Evening Ledoek reporter entered
was Incessant. The office boy was doing
his best to answer them The secretary
was assisting him, but two persons can
not talk over three telephones at the
same time and listen also to tho Inquiries
or callers.
Practice In handling tho receivers has
made the ofllce boy proficient. Several
times he picked up two at once, one to
each ear, shouting a "Hello" for both.
Nuturally he got muddled when the
parties on tho other end of the wire both
Btarted to talk at once. What they said
ho would not tell, of course.
And still the nervo-Jarring janglo of the
bells kept up. Most of the calls wero
headed off. Some of the more Insistent
callers wrangled with the boy and Dy
main force of argument got past him.
The call was switched to the inner ofllce.
Connelly wns on the wire. Philadelphia
had reached him, driving past tho whole
system of defense.
The demand of the citizens for action
by Connelly on transit might be likened
to the progress of a rising flood. Thrown
back at first, it returns irresistibly, pa
tiently seeking out the weak spot In the
defense and eventually finding it So
Phlladelphlans are finding Connelly. He
is beginning to realize the magnitude of
the storm he has provoked, a storm that
Is growing steadily.
President Will Address 4000 New
