COMMITTEE FORT IN
CITY TRANSIT WAR
Varc Represented by Only
Six Men in Body "Which
Will Decide Fate of Ordi
nances in Councils.
One Obstructionist Frankly Ad
mits Ho s Waiting for Orders
From "Follows at tho Front."
Mayoralty Campaign Factor.
A noil of the members of Councils' Fi
nance Commltlco today revealed tho fact
that tho Vnre members of the committee
would be In lino solidly ror
Dhcctbr Taylor's rapid tran
sit program when Chairman
Connelly calls a meeting of
tho committee. This, ho an
nounced, would be within n
few dnjp.
Thn McNIchol Councllmcn, It
la shown, will bo lined Up solidly against
the Tnvlor prosrain lor ruui imuu umion.
In political circles It Is generally under-
stood that both sldos have received their
orders anil that thb fight from now on
will be along cicar-cui, uemiuc mita.
Backln? Director Taylor will stand Sena
tor Vafe with the downtown members of
the Finance Committee. On the other
tide Senator McNIchol, who came out In
the open against tho plan yesterday, will
order his men to defy public opinion and
throttle the plan.
In view of Senator JlcXIchors opposi
tion to the Taylor transit program. Senu
tor Varo was naked today what his atti
tude was on the question. , In reply ho
made tho following statemont:
"I stand exactly where I have always
stood-ln favor of rapid transit, and I
want to seo It .worked out In the best
and quickest way."
There are six Va're men. on the Finance
Committee.
There are 17 McNIchol men on the Fi
nance Committee, thouoh one, of his fol
lowers Intimated today that he would
vote to report the bill out of committee.
This means that unless an. aroused pub
lic forces the McNIchol men to disre
gard the order of their chief the Taylor
iplan will not be considered at the Fi
nance Commltteo meeting, that It will
remain In "pickle," or that a compro
mite, the result of which will be only to
deliy the plan, will, be effected.
The political allegiance of ono mem
ber of the committee s doubtful, but he
la supposed to be' aliened with the .Vares.
H. Is Robert. Smith, of the 36th Ward.
The threat of a higher tax rato 1b a
'neV device. , which Senator Mc.NJqb.ol' wJH
use, In his attempt , to frighten tho people
away from' supporting- Director Taylor's
transit plans.
The, Senator figures out that tho ad
ditional city debt tp provide funds for
transit' development, and other Improve
ments would necessitate an Incrcaso from
ll.CO, the present tax' rate, to $2.50.
This will be the basts of his argument
against the Taylor plan when the Com
mittee on Municipal 'Corporations of the
State Senate, .of which Senator Varo Is
chairman, holds a public hearing on the
Constitutional amendment In the Finance
Committee's room tomorrow afternoon.
Political observers pplnted out signifi
cantly hat the alignment of tho two
tides is virtually the samo as It was in
the last bitterly contested mayoralty
campaign. Using the proposed transit
program for a political football, tho
smouldering factional fires are now about
to brenk out again at tho oxpense of the
public.
Unless a compromise can be reached or
Concluded on Face Seven

PROFESSIONAL DOG
SLAYER REQUESTED
IN FAIRMOUNT PARK
Odd Request for Protection
of Deer Along Wissa
hickon Made to Commis
sion by Theodore Justice.
A professional dog slayer Is wanted
for Falnnount Park.
A request for. such a rifleman was en
tered today by Theodore Justice at the,
meeting of the Park- Commission in City
Hall. Ho said tho deer which tho city
recently placed In Falrmount Park near
Vlssahlckon were being attneked by
stray dogs.
Exception to Mr. Justice's proposal was
made by B. T. Stotesbury, whereupon it
was decided to placo tho entire matter
before George Wharton Pepper, counsel
for the comvnlsslon. He will determine
whether or not the city has a right to
employ a rifleman at the park to shoot
stray dogs.
The commissioner? opinions on- the
matter n't today's meeting were varied.
Mr Justice, maintained that the employ
ment of a do.K slayer for the noble pur
pose Indicated shodld meet with no op
position, while Mr. Stotesbury contended
lie would have no objection to the Idea
provided the employment of the dog
slayer did not entail any additional com
plications with owners of .slain dogs. The
following colloquy ensued:
Mr. Btotesbury "Who appreciates the
deer anyhow?"
Mr. Justice "I think many appreciate
them. They hav them in the parks
abyoad and .seem to have no trouble In
protecting them."
Mr. Stotesbury-"! seems to me that
the employment of a rifleman might re
sult In complications."
Mr. Justice "We shall have to get an
experienced forest ranger."
Mr. Stotesbury: "Have to get whatT"
Mr. Justice: "An experienced forest
ranger."
Mr. BtoUsbury: "I thought you said an
experienced fire engine." ,
8. W. Keiths "I am Informed that
some of the deer make themselyaa quite
comfortable In the homes of residents."
Jamea Poljock: "Yes, one of them,
I understand, recently entered the kitchen
of a house and had quite a delightful
meal."

"We have produced men whoso private
