HEARING ON TRANSIT
BY COUNCILS' FINANCE
TODAY
Thursday Meeting Last at
Which City Legislators
Will Have Opportunity
of Starting Work This
Summer.
A public hearing to consider tho ad
visability of prompt passage of tho en
abling ordinances to put tho 6,COO,000
Taylor rapid transit plan
Into effect will be conducted
beforo Councils' Finance
Committee at 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon.
Tho result of this hearing
will bo clthor prompt realiza
tion of Director Taylor's program of real
rapid transit for Philadelphia or delay
and Inaction until next year, for tho next
meeting of Councils, on Thursday of this
week, Is tho last nt which action can bo
taken to provtdo for actual construction
work this summer. Any further postpone
ment will mean that tho necessary legis
lative routlno cannot bo completed bo
foro Councils' summer adjournment
Julyl.
WANT FREE TRANSFERS.
Tho hearing today at tho request of tho
Northwest Business Men's Association,
which has petitioned tho Flnanco Com
nitttco 'to tnko no further action upon
tho enabling ordinances until full assur
ance of universal frco transfers Is given.
Should tho Flnanco Commlttco heed the
rcuuest of tho business men construction
work on tho Broad street Bubway and
tho Frankford elevated will bo delayed
until IMG.
Director Taylor, It Is understood, will
appear at tho hearing today to combat tho
arguments of tho business men and to
urgo the necessity of Immediate begin
ning of tho construction work. Tho El
rector will show that delay at this tlmo
Is entirely unnecessary ns a means of se
curing tho frco transfers. '
WOULD WASTE ELECTION MONEY
It will also bo shown that if Councils
fall to pass on Thursday tho ordlnanco
providing for a 30 days' advertising of
thn cltv's intent to create the loon, which
I was referred to Mho Flnanco Commlttco
two weeks ago, and to lntroduco tho
ordlnanco authorizing tho creation of tho
loan, no construction work can bo dona
this summer. This will mean that tho
special election can avail nothing and
that $90,000 of the taxpayers' money was
wasted in holding It,
WANT P. R. T. OFFER ACCEPTED.
Tho Northwest Business Men, meeting
last night at 233G Columbia nvonuo, plan
ned tho arguments they will present to
day and passed a resolution requesting
tho Finance Committeo to enter into im
mediate negotiations with tho Philadel
phia Rapid Transit Company for tho pur
pose of accepting Its proposal of March
23, 1314, by which it would construct and
operate tho Broad street subway and tho
Frankford elevated and other contem
plated lines with free transfer privileges
nnd tho abolition of the 8-cent exchange
tickets.
The speakers for the Business Men to
day will bo Charles L. Fluck, chairman
of the Transportation Committee; Walter
B. Bertolet, president of the association;
Edward B. Martin, secretary and chair
man of tho Transportation Committeo of
the United Business Men's Association;
Richard Wogelln, chairman of tho Muni
cipal Committee, and Patrick H". Lynch,
chairman of tho Law Committeo.
FOUGHT $G,OCO,000 LOAN.
Tho northwest business men lined up
against the passage of the 16,000,000 loan
prior to the special election and con
ducted a publicity campaign against It,
using tho snmo arguments they will pre
sent today. Their campaign was & con
spicuous failure as far as winning any
opposition to the loun at tho polls was
concerned, for the vote In the four wards
from which the association draws Its
membership, the 28th, 20th, 32d and 47th.
was 77CS for the loan and 114S agalnBt.
The very small following that the busi
ness men were able to gain at the special
election, the friends of the Taylor plan
said, is sufficient reason for denial of
thotr petition by the Flnanco Committee.
The real objection of the Northwest
Business Men Is said to be that tho pres
ent program does not contemplate Imme
diate construction work In their vicinity.
While the high-speed lines to Roxbor
ough and Manayunk will be of direct
benefit to tho northwest section, It Is
the plan of Director Taylor not to make
any beginning on this line until the Broad
street subway and the Frankford. elevated
are well under way.
In consideration of the reasons which
lie back of the protest of the Northwest
Business Men, and In view of the very
small opposition that their pre-election
canvass against the loan created, but
slight Importance Is being attached to any
arguments they are offering for delay
and further Inaction. The strength of the
association's protest Is shown by tho ac
companying box of the vote for and
against the transit loan In the northwest
ern wards.

BOY KILLED IN FIGHT
AT GLEN MILLS
Fist Blow Over "Cocaine
Heart" From Chum Ends
Life of Lad.
A fist blow over the heart killed a 16-year-old
Phltadelphlnn, nn Inmate of the
alen Mills Bchool for Boys, during a
fight with another Inmnte at tho Institu
tion Sunday night. Thomas Joseph Long,
of 333 Poplnr Btrcet, was the vfctlm. The
school authorities refuse to namo the boy
who struck htm.
Action by the Delaware County au
thorities Is expected today. Unless county
ofllclnls Uko notion In tho affair, young
Long'fl nsialtant will receive only nominal
punishment nt the school for fighting, It
Is said.
Long suffered from what Is called a
"cocalno heart," It Is said at tho school.
Sunday evening tho boys llnod up nt bed
time In a prescribed manner to, march to a
lower room nnd disrobe. Long Is said to
havo pushed another boy out of line.
Fearing a demerit for being out of order,
tho boy resented Long's action. Long, It
Is Bald, struck tho youth and a return
blow caught tho cocalno user over the
heart. Ho fell to tho floor nnd died within
a few minutes, nlthough Dr. I. P. P. Hol
llngsworth, the school physician, at
tempted to revive him.
Dr. II. F. Taylor, coroner's physician,
gavo valvular heart disease ns tho cause
of death. Assistant Superintendent R.
W. Jobb, of tho school, said today that
no action has been taken by tho Glen
Mills olTlclnls. Information regarding the
boy's death was first mado publlo last
night
William Long, tho boy's father, denied
today thnt Thomas was addicted to drugs.
Ho declared that tho boy was mis
chievous, but not bad. Neighbors of
the Longs, near their Poplar street home
and in tho vicinity of 1023 North Lnwronco
street, whero the family formerly lived,
praised tho lad and said ho was popular.
Ho was on probation from the Catholic
Protectory last year, activities of truant
omcers resulting in his being sent to tho
Glen Mills School. From thero ho wroto
to his father that ho had a good time,
playing football last fall and tennis this
spring.
'"Tommy," as ho is known to tho Longs,
has a brother. Wllllnm, IS yenrs old, a
sailor on tho Brooklyn, nnd two sisters,
Dorothy, 13 years old, nnd Henrietta, 9
years old. His mothor died live years
ago. Alzesta Long, Tommy's stepmother,
praised his happy disposition and said
tho boy was not "bad."
FIVE AT POINT OF DEATH
Woman's Attempt to Kill Horsclf and
Children by Gas Is Foiled.
"I was tired of living."
This was tho way Mrs. Florcnco Kohlcr,
E152 Hurlan street, explained her attempt
to tako her llfo and tho lives of her four
children In a gas-filled room In her home
last night. Mrs. Kohlcr, who wns revived
at tho West Philadelphia Homeopathic
Hospital with her children after physi
cian? had resorted to vigorous measures,
was saved by her husband, who Is Janitor
at tho Media apartments, a short distance
from their home.
Ho returned an hour after she had
taken Adolph, 4 years old; Anna, 5; Agnes,
2, nnd John, a 9-month-old Infant, Into
a room on the first floor, locked tho door
and opened a gas Jet. All weio uncon
scious when Kohler noticed tho odor of
gas nnd broke Into tho room. Police of
tho 61st and Thompson streets station
took tho woman and children to the hos
pital, whore all were revived.
