commending the Philadelphia newspapers
for the part they played In the transit
campaign.
He said:
"Phlladelphlans yesterday demonstrated
their ability to take up and dispose of
an Important business proposition In an
Intelligent and buslness-liko manner.
"Party lines were disregarded and the
people- lined up almost unanimously In
favor of tho establishment of the much
needed, transit facilities which will bring
broad benefits to the city and to every
citizen.
"The people of other cities, which are
confronted with similar development
problems, should find much encourage
ment In the demonstration of broad
minded business ability exhibited jester
day by Phlladelphlani In their disposition
of the transit question.
"The owners of newspapers in such
cities should realize and utilize their
power In aid of municipal developments,
for they can see the splendid results
accomplished by a united press In Phila
delphia which has worked consistently
and persistently In the Interest of the
public
"The people of Philadelphia are greatly
Indebted to their newspapers for they
have kept them fully and Intelligently
Informed with relation to every phase of
the transit problem."

fn a position to begin work on the Taylor
transit plans as soon as Councils have
passed enabling ordinances, authorized
tho issuance of the loan and designated
where the work Bhall be begun. This
routine can be performed Immediately, so
that the contracts can be let early In July.
Tho Board of Judges will meet at noon
tomorrow and determine when the of
ficial count of the votes shall be begun
and fn which court the work shall be
done. It is likely that It will be agred to

cation of the loan vote before Councils
meet on Thursday of next week.
FI3HT FOR DELIVEBT LOOP.
Ev?ry effort will now be mads to have
Councils Include the subway delivery loop
In the plans for the- Broad Btreet tube
before the contracts are let. The Depart
ment of City Transit and the Committee
of 1000 are preparing voluminous data to
show that the delivery loop Is not only
b. necsslty, but that It Ja the key to the
entire situation.
The results of the election yesterday
called forth expressions of approval from
Administration and Organization leaders
alike.
Mayor Blankenburg said: "I am pleased
with the largo proportion of the vote In
favor of the loan bill, but I am surprised
that more citizens did not cast their bal
lots today."
Senator James T. McNIchol said: "It
passed? didn't It? Every true citizen of
Philadelphia should be gratified with the
result1
Congressman William B. Vare said:
"My section of the city. South Philadel

for the good of all Philadelphia, so they
turned out and voted for the loan.".
Stale Senator Edwin H. Vare said;
"Nomt lhat the citizens have passed
favorably on the loan bill, I would like
to see every one Join hands and work
for the best interests of Philadelphia on
the rapid-transit situation."
In the three wards In which council-
manic vacancies were to be filled the
Republican candidates were victorious.
The small vote for the Independent can
didates gave further proof of the dis
integration of the Bull Moose party.
In the 25th Ward Mark Fleming, He

BMALb TRANB1T VOtE
REGRETTED BY MAYOR
Commenting on the transit loan
vote, Mayor Rlankenburg tMs after
noon said:
"The loan has passed, tut unfor'
tunately by a very small total vote.
I say Unfortunately because it seems
from the small size of the vote polled
that the people of Philadelphia are
not olive to tho importance of the
transit projict which directly con
cerns them and which involves the
expenditure of over teo.000,000. Out
of the total voting population of at
least 50,000 in Philadelphia only
about 05,000 went to the polls to de
clare their stand on the matter. It
is a lamentable lack of interest,
"Of course it is gratifying to see
from the total vote cast that the
project was approved by virtually a
ten-to-one vote. It Is a strong In
dorsement of transit from those cit
izens who went to the polls.
"It Is mow up to Councils tn de
cide hoto soon the transit construc
tion 7nai be put under tcay. It'c of
the Administration have our own
ideas what may be done, but of that
I do not care to speak. That is, of
course, in the hands of Director
Taylor, who has all the facts and
plans at his finger ends.
"I hope that Councils will earn
estly co-operate with the Adminis
tration and that work on the transit
system may be begun at the earliest
possible moment."

At tho same time this will make tho

approval of the loan until the November
election would not have delayed the ac

It has boen suggested that Councils to
accomplish more delay may take advan

LIGHTNING FIRES BIG
TANK AT POINT BREEZE
Explosion Follows and Other
Receptacles Burn, Causing
$75,000 Loss.
Fire started by lightning threatened tho
Point Breeze plant of the Atlantic Refin
ing, Company early today and did $75,000
damage to property of the United Gas
Improvement Company. It was extin
guished only after four alarms had been
sent In and every engine In the southern
section of tho city, with many from up
town, had responded.
Several firomen were overcome by the
gas fumes. All were treated by ambu
lance surgeons on the scene, and none
was sent to a hospital. The blaze started
nt 12.30 o'clock. Lightning struck a big
tank filled with coal tar, causing a deaf
ening explosion. Three other explosions
followed tn rapid succession, and that
many additional tanks were Ignited or
struck by lightning.
All the police boatn In the Schuylkill

time after It started a dozen heavy
'streams of water were being dlrectel
against the blazing tanks. Flames sh.'t
several hundred feet Into tho air, but
the smoke was so black and heavy that
firemen were forced to work In almost
total darkness.
The result was that they stumbled all
about the big U. G. I. plant seeking
vantage points. Tho wind blew the
flames toward the long stretches of
meadow and this probably prevented both
plants being destroyed. Numerous engine
companies were told off to direct streams
of water against nearby tanks to keep
them from Igniting.
Three hours after the first explosion the
firemen, by desperate work, had the
flames under control, They continued
pouring water Into the redhot tanks,
howover, until daybreak. The Atlantic
Refining Company sufferedi no loss, fire
men keeping the flames from spreading
to enormous naphtha and oil tanks a
short distance from the blazing gas and
coal tar receptacles.

ENDS LIFE IN CEMETERY
Continued from Page One
today refused to makio any statement or
to discussh tho suicide.
SUICIDE A MYSTERY.
So far, the reason for Brooke's act Is a.
mystery. None of his many friends In
Media and the surrounding, countrysjdo
has been able to give the slightest Ink
ing of the motive. His friends In this
city and Media believed him to be
wealthy.
Brooke had been married less than a
year. He married Miss Elizabeth Ball,
of Germantown. last June. She Is still
at Garden City.
J. Hunter Brooke was born In Media
and graduated from Swarthmore College.
His grandfather, H. Jones Brooke, was
Instrumental In having the Baltimore
Central Division of the P. B. & W. Rail
road built, and was the builder of Brooke
Hall, a fashionable school for young
women, at which Mrs. William McKlnley,
widow of the martyred President, was
educated.
Jones Brooke, a brother of the sui
cide, lives at Norrlstown. He also has
been notified of the tragedy.
The news of the suicide caused a
sensation In Media. In social circles of
that city It came as a distinct shock.
Although he bad been living so long in
Garden City, Brooke was a frequent vis
itor to the home of his sister and kept
In touch with his old business and social
tnends.
Brooke was secretary and treasurer of
the Weyman and Bruton Snuff Manu
facturing Company of New York. He
was an enthusiastic motorist. Mrs,
Brooke, widow of the dead man, Is the
daughter of Mr, and Mrs. George M.
Ball, of ill Pelham Road, Germantown.
Brooke's accounts with the Weyman
si Bruton Company balance perfectly,
according to a long-distance telephone
call from the firm at New, York, nil
business associates can give no reason
for the BUiclde, except that Mr. Brooke
had suffered with nervous prostration,
They declare he had no financial dif
ficulties. The suicide was a nephew of Hunter
Brooke, of 1905 Spruce street, a. partner
in (he old Philadelphia grain drm of
Brooke and Pennock, now pepnock and
Company, with offices In the Bourse
puuaing. The Bpruce street house Is
now closed. Jf"- Brooke, widow pf the
BUlcide's uncle, Is in California.

GRAFT REVELATIONS
RULED OUT BY COURT
IN ROOSEVELT CASE
Sulzer's Investigator Who
Probed State Depart
ments for RottennesB Is
Sent From Stand With
out Testifying.
SYRACUSE, N. Y April 30. Tho
Bamcs-Rooscvelt $50,000 libel suit was
shortened today, and considerable) Inter
est lost, when John A. Hennessy was hot
allowed to testify about corruption In
tho departments at Albany, and H. H.
Vrecland was stopped from telling of
making contributions to both Republican
and Democratic campaign funds In 1003.
Hennessy was Governor William Sul
zer's Investigator, who probed tho Stato
departments and said ho found rottenness
and graft.
His testimony was mado unnecessary
when William M. Ivlns, of counsel for
Barnis, said ho would admit all that
Hennessy had to say.
"I know It," ho said, "for I wrote that
part of tho Republican Stato platform
denouncing It. But wo will not admit
that Bnrncs know about It, or had any
thing to do with It."
Accordingly, both sides entered Into a
stipulation admitting that In 1011-14 cor
ruption existed In the Stato government
Contracts wcro bought, tho civil service
debauched, contractors blackmailed, etc
Hennessy then was oBked If prior to
July 22, 1011, ho had told Roosevelt about
what ho found In Albany,
Ivlns' objection was sustained, and
Hennessy left tho stand without having
answered a question.
Vrcoland was allowed to tell only of
giving 0,00 Oto the Republicans In 1913,
because the dofonse could not show that
his slmilRr contribution was made with
tho sanction of Barnos,
Barnes, at tho tlmo of tho primary leg
islation, said he could kill any bill politi
cally with enough limelight, according to
Loyal France, of Brooklyn. At tho same
tlmo, ho said, Barnes boastod ho could
control tho primaries and put up Buch a
rotten ticket It would disgust the publto
with primaries,
SPICE LENT TO CASE.
Tho name of Governor Charles S. Whit
man lent splco to the suit today. Interest
In tho big trial, which waned considerably
waxed again with tho possibility that
the Governor might bo drawn Into tho
case.
A dispatch from Albany early today
said that Governor Whitman admitted
writing the letter to Charles H. Duell, Jr.,
that was read Into the Colonel's testi
mony yesterday In which Whitman ealJ
It was tlmo for Progressives and Pro
gressive Republicans and all good citizens
to get together nd rid the Stato of boss
rulo extending Into both parties, Tho
letter did not mention Barnes and Mur
phy, however.
Hugh Hastings, of counsel for Barnes,
was responsible for a statement gener
ally published, that William M. Ivlns had
telegraphed the Governor asking him If
ho would bo willing to come to Syracuse
and testify.
IVINS REFUTES STATEMENT.
"I have not wired the Governor," Ivlns
said today. "I havo not comrounlcnted
with him directly or Indirectly. Just now
I care nothing about that Odell lettor. It
does not touch this case."
There has been considerable speculation
about the letter It has been said that It
Is tho same letter that Whitman once
repudiated. Tho Roosevelt sldo said It
waB a brand new letter. Mr. Whitman
will not bo subpoenaed unless ho signi
fies his willingness to come here.
Tho Colonol apparently was greatly dls
appointed when Justice Andrews refuued
to allow William Loeb, Jr., to tell of
the alleged rotten vlco conditions In Al
bany, where)n, It was alleged by the
Roosevelt answer to the complaint.
Barnes connived with his henchmen
for
