Protest.

Germany's action In Imposing taxes on
Belgians, whereby absentees are taxed 10
times the ordinary amount, was de
nounced as blackmail In n lecture deliv
ered here last night by Whitney Warren,
tho American architect.
"Such taxation," said Mr. Warren, "Is
an Imposition. It means confiscation nnd
fictitious sales; In other words, blackmail
and robbery. If neutral countries permit
this without Protest their silence will
make them accomplices "f Ueriiinny'a
miserable acts."
The Rpenker said' he regretted that the
t'nlted Slates had not protested against
the violation of Helgluin, as the moral r
feet of such n protest would have been In
calculable. He added that there Was still
time to protest ngalnM the new Imposi
tion whereby llclglanv bn Hod before
murder and pillage, flrn and rapine should
pay Id times the usual tax If they do not
return before Apill IS, although Helglum
Is condemned to pay an Indemnltv of

MAYOR DIGS FIRST
SPADEFUL FOR TRANSIT
Continued from Page One
waiting automobiles In front of Inde
pendence Hall,
l-'iom tho platform in front of the
si-cno of the ground breaking the Mayor
delivered his address. Extolling the work
done by Dlicctor Taylor nnd piedlctlng
the future prosperity and development
which will follow the completion of the
transit jiiogram. the Major put it plainly
to the otcra that the battle wus not
yet won If they failed to awaken to the
realization of their duty and vote for
tlio transit loan at tlio special election.
"If we In Philadelphia do not have the
democratic government to which we. nte
Justly entitled," lie declared, -'the voters
nlone will be responsible. Tho apathy and
indltfcrcnce of tho citizens is one of out
greatest dangcra In Philadelphia."
THI-1 MAYORS ADDBKSS.
Tho Mayor said:
"Mr. Taylor, ladles and gentlemen, and
my fellow citizens: This Is indeed an
auspicious occasion, for the greatest his
toric associations of Philadelphia centre
hero In Independence Squnre, where wo
aro standing to take this step.
"For muny years we huve been look
ing forward to the time when It should
bo possible to go to any part of Phila
delphia io any other part directly on
high-speed lines for a single 6-ccnt fare.
Wo are now about lo realize our hopes.
The completion of this program, which
wo are entering upon today, will mean
t'ne development of the outlying dlstilcts
of Philadelphia.
"It will mean that those who now live
in the crowded and unhenlful sections
will be able to rear their children In
God's free and open nlr. It will mean
thut our city will bo one of the greatest
metropolises of the world, und In America
eiiuul to New Vork.
"We as cllliens nie proud of Philadel
phia. I do not know of any city In the
world where I would rather live than
right here where I have been living and
working for more than 50 years. But when
we visit New York and Boston and the
other great cities we have hnd to be
nshamed of the backwardness of our own
city.
NEED OF SUBWAY LOOP.
"But when this system Is completed,
and particularly the subway delivery
loop, I can say that we will no longer
need to be ashamed. With our historic
aksoclutlons, with Independence Hall and
with our real rapid transit system we
will rank first.
"But, my fellow citizens, I want to
warn you that you must still decide
whether or not we are to have real rapid
transit. If you don't go to the polls on
April i3 and vote to pass the je.000,000
transit loan, rapid transit will be some
thing for future generations and not for
us.
"Kvery vote counts. Your vote Is Im
portant. The indifference of our citizens
has been their besetting fault In the past.
If you do not get real democratic govern
ment here It is the fault of the voters.
At the last election nearly 100,000 forgot to
go to the polls, so that I urge you to re
member that the final decision of rapid
transit still rests with you.
"When I throw the first shovel of earth
the greatest project that Philadelphia
ever entered upon will be begun. I want
now to thank you, Mr. Taylor, the other
directors and the ladles tn this party, for
the part In this movement you have
taken."
DIRECTOR. TAYLOR'S 8PEECH.
Director Taylor opened the ceremonies
with a brief address, in which 'ne pre
sented the Mayor with the shovel spe
cially designed for the occasion. Director
Taylor salo:
Mr. Mayor The wsjr Is now clear
for you to start the construction of
the facilities, for the drainage of (ha
20, 1915-,
subway delivery loop, In "ern9f
with the mandate of the citiijns oi
Philadelphia Issued at h e eel on
held on November 3, 19 t. This im
portant event marks real progress n
th i estaollshment of adequate rapid
transit lines In Philadelphia,
These facilities have been designed
to meet nnd to properly serve the
present and prospective needs or the
people. The program outlined for
this development, If carefully followed,
will result In every section of the city
being connected up with every other
section of the city by high-speed lines
operated In conjunction with the exist
ing surface lines as gatherers and dls
trlbulors of high-speed passengers,
for one 6-cent fare.
The new high-speed system, bo oper
ated, will bring material benefits to
every cltUen and will enable the city
to spread out and to grow In a health
ful way. Their establishment will
thus force Philadelphia forward In her
contest for supremacy as a great
metropolitan centre nnd as the Ideal
city of the twentieth century.
It Is with great pleasure that 1 hand
you this shovel with which you are
about to begin the establishment of
real rapid transit In Philadelphia.
CITY COMMITTED TO LOOP.
While the construction work for which
the gtound was broken is actually the
relocation nnd construction of the sewers
preliminary to tho proposed subway de
livery loop, the supporters of Director
Taylor declare that with this step taken
the city standi committed to complete tho
project It has undci taken nnd that the
subway delivery loop, omitted from tlio
Cotincilmnnlc ordinance, will be Included
In tho program within a short tlmo.
Preceded by the Police Band, the
Mayor, with his Directors nnd guests,
left tho City Hall In automobiles promptly
at 12:10 o'clock. The band arrived some
mlnute.i before the Mnyor'B party, nnd
lining the walk on both sides they played
"All Hall the Chief" ns tho Mnyor
walked through Independence Square.
The Mayor stepped on the grandstand
Just as tlie hands of the clock In In
dependence Square pointed to 12:30. A
little mote than 20 mtnutes Inter the
ceremonies had ended, rapid transit work
had been begun mid the Mnyor, smiling,
had returned to the waiting uillomobllcs
In front of Independence Hall,
WORKMEN START AT ONCE.
Every member of the contracting firm
of Peoples Brothers wns present to be
gin work Immediately nflcr the Mnyor's
party left. Fnyc W. Peoples. IS years old,
and a member of tho Arm, who Is prob
nblv the youngest contractor In the world,
was present, lendy to take his part In
the work.
Immediately after the formal ceremon
ies were ended, a cable hoist was raised,
the pavement was toin up and actual
work on Philadelphia's real rapid trau
sll progi-ctn was under way.
The ceremonies nt nth nnd Walnut
I streets, where ground was hioken, came
j ns a fitting climax to two years of
planning by tho Department of City
! Transit, months of lighting by Inde
i pendent, citizens to force Councils to
j terminate Its pulley of delay and ob
j Htrui-tlon, and finally the strategic vie
i toiy won by the Mayor in signing the
trick ordinance.
j Although Councils' transit ordlnanco
I makes no provision for the construction
I of tho subway delivery loop at this time,
the supporters of real rapid transit nre
confident thnt ultimately Councils will
be forced to follow the nd"ioe of the
engineering experts who have shown
that the delivery loop Is the key to tho
entire transit system.
A grandstand had been erected from
which State and city officials viewed
tho ceremonies. Delegations from the
various business organizations which
havo taken part in the transit tight at
tended, and the Employes' Asaoclatiou
of tlie navy yard was represented by
HO men. .
Tlio part of the work which the Mayor
officially begnn is Peoples Brothers'
contract for sewer reconstruction, on
Walnut htreet from 3d to titli streets.
Simultaneously work will stmt on tlie four
other sewer relocation contracts. They
are:
Robert LomhnrdI Sixth nnd Walnut
streets across Washington Square to Sth
and Locust streets.
Joseph Porna Sixth and Willow streets
to 5th and Arch streets ncross Franklin
Square.
Joseph Perua New sewer on 9th street
from Market to Arch.
Frederick T. Bocklus-Ranslead street
from Sth to Oth.
TOO MEN START WORK TODAY
Derricks havo been set up, materials
and working equipment assembled by the
contracting firms during tho last week,
and today 700 laborers and skilled con
struction engineers will glvo the first
tangible evidence of Philndelphla-a de
termination to have real rapid transit.
Thirty-five weeks Is thn time allotted
In the) contract awards for the comple
tion of the live contracts.
Before this time has passed work on
tho Broad street subway will have been
begun, provided the ?6,000,000 trnnslt loan
Is authorized by the voters on April 29.
Hamptoo S. Thomas, recorder of tho
Board of Registration Commissioners, de
clared yesterday that 10,000 voters might
find themselves disqualified to vote on
April 29 on account of having moved to
now divisions since the last eloctiou. The
personal registration law makes no pro
vision for registration of voters prior to
a special election, and to give thoso who
have moved nn opportunity to register
would cost approximately J55.000 In sal
aries. FORMER SOLDIER A SUICIDE
Man Who Served in Autro-IIungarian
Army Cuts His Throat.
A man, believed to be Joseph Gayer, a
former soldier In the Austro-Hungarlan
army, committed suicide today by cutting
his throat In an nlley In the rear of 1631
Spruce street. With his head nlmost
sovered and a sharp knife clutched In
his hand, the body was found shortly after
noon by several small children, whose
cries attracted Policeman Klnofsky, of the
15th and Locust streets station. The body
was still warm and nPennsylvanla Rail
road truck, which was standing nearby,
was used to hurry the man to the Poly
clinic Hospital, but the doctors said he
had been dead about an hour.
From papers found In the suicide's
clothing he Is believed to havo come here
last night from S32 Mohawk street, Cin
cinnati. Other documents lead the police
to believe the man served several years
m,the Austrian army and had come here
In the hope of re-enllstlng, The knife he
used to kill himself was the sort used
by fl3h pededlers and the police believe
he stole the weapon to end his existence.
The former soldier had hacked at his
throat several times, having evidently
failed to sever his Jugular on the first at
tempt. He had literally bled to death be
fore he was found.
