Conference at Atlantic City
Tonight Threatens to Revivo
Warfaro of 1911.
The Itcpubllcan Organization leaden
- are deadlocked over their choice of a
f candidate for Mayor and, an a result, a
bitter primary campaign light between
the- Varea and McNIchol, that may lead
to the extermination of ono of them as
a power In the Philadelphia Republican
machine, l Imminent.
An effort to briny about harmony be-
tween the factions Is expected to be made
In Atlantic City this afternoon and to
night Senator Penrose Is now at the
shore, and the other leaders, Including
Senators McNIchol and Vnrc, Congress
man Vnro and David H. Lane, will all be
on hand. It has been denied that there
will bo n conference, but one leader nd-
, mltted today that they might, hold nn
"Informal discussion."
The round table conference that It was
said would bo held last Thursday night
and Friday at the shore was abandoned.
This was done because the Varea tefused
to attend. It Was sold today.
Unless harmony between the leaders is
brought about 'within tho next few weeks,
the rotors of Philadelphia 'will see a con
test more bitter than that of 1911. Doth
McNIchol and th Vares will put com
plete tickets in tho field, and will fight
for the utter annihilation of the other
politically.
The Vares, because they hold a slight
majority of the power In the Organisa
tion, want to name tho "harmony" can
didate suggested by City Chairman David
II. Lane. Senator McNIchol has told his
political Intimates that he "will not stand
for It." That Is as far as tho negotia
tions to unite the Organization leaders
behind a "harmony" candidate, have gone,
except that the names of individual can
didates have been carefully considered.
McNICHOL MAY BACK CABLE
As his trump card to prevent the Vares
from naming tho Organisation Mayoralty
candidate and thus controlling the next
administration In the event of the elec
tion of that candidate, Senator McNIchol
la threatening to support George H.
Earle, Jr., In ft bitter tight with the Varos
at tho polls In September.
It was with Carle that McNIchol, de
feated the Vares In lMl, when Congress
man William S. Vare Was a candidate for
Mayor. The McNIchol followers are as
serting that Earls could bring about the
defeat of the downtown leaders again.
There Is no question of Carle's eligibility
as a candidate, as the Varea have
learned. It Is said, that he established a
bona fide residence here five yearn ago.
Just how critical the situation Is from
an Organization standpoint Is shown by
the attitude of Senator McNIchol when
he explained the situation to his friends
and political lieutenants.
Bpeaklng of the Vares within the last
IW days, he has said: "Tney Insist upon
naming the man. I won't stand for It If
they Insist too much upon naming Kolb,
or Bill Vare himself, I'll bring out Earle
again, and throw them completely out of
City Hall."
The clash, If it comes, would not be
confined to tho Mayoralty contest Mc
NIchol and Vare would each have a full
ticket In the field.
In tho Informal discussions of plans for
the campaign that the Organization lead
era have held during the last few months,
a general plan for dividing the city and
county offices between them has been
agreed to. Under this agreement, the
Vares would name the candidate for
sheriff. Harry C. Ransley, president of
Select Council. Is their selection for this
Clace.
A. Lincoln Acker has agreed to run
again for Bherlff on the McNIchol ticket.
It was said today, and has also agreed
to go on the stump against the Vares,
In the event of a clash between the Or
ganization leaders. Recorder of Deeds
Ernest I Tustln will also get Into the
fight and stump against the downtown
leaders. It Is aald,
LANE'S "DARK HORSES."
At the "Informal" discussion of tho
situation at the shore tonight, City Chalr
man Lane la expected to present the
names of two "dark horses," which he
said should be acceptable to both fac
tions. Lane has been making every effort
to bring" about harmony between the
Organization leaders, but his efforts to
have them agTee upon a harmony candi
date have so far proved unsuccessful.
In the negotiations that have been con
ducted since the close of the session of
the Legislature, the Vares have Urged
the selection t)f Louis X Kolb, with. Con
gressman Vare as the alternative. It Is
said. McNIchol's suggestions as "har
mony" possibilities have been City Con
troller Walton, ex-Director of Public
Works O-orge O. Haddock. Coroner
Knight and other so-called "McNIchol"
men.
The only hope of harmony seem to
rest with Lane. He wll not disclose-the
names of the "dark horses" wth which
he hopes to bring about harmony, how
aver. PBNnOSB MAT ATTEND.
Senator Penrose la In Atlantic City And
If there Is a round table conference, he
will attend. He waa indicated, however.
that we wanu to leave it to the Vares
and McNIchol to settle between them. If
thla can be done.
It Is considered Improbable that any
public announcement WW be made for
several weeks, whether the (eadsrs agree
to. fight or to combine, their efforts la &
harmony program. Whether there is a
tight or not, they want a short campaign,
and It probably will be lata In August
before the Organization program is de
finitely determined.

Austro-Qermana may still have of real

must have amounted altogether to more

TRANSIT FIGHT IN COURT;
INJUNCTION ASKED
Continued from rage One
llcan Organization taxpayer would bring
suit to obtain nn Injunction to hold-up the
transit plans until some future tlmo. Tho
recent notion by Councils on nil pending
transit measures and tho open statement
of the leaders that they wore favorable
to rapid transit, had. however, materially
dispelled suspicion that such a move was
to bo made.
During the heat of the fight made by
Director Taylor for tho npproval of his
plans by Councils, Mr. Dallam, tho com
plainant. Issued a booklet condemning tho
entire project, Little attention was given
to It at that tlmo and It was not gen
oi ally believed that Mr. Dallam would
he tho man to bring tho suit.
TAYLOR COMMENTS.
Director Taylor, when Informed of tho
suit, said that tho bill In equity simply
Involves technical legal questions, and
that tho question will bo placed in the
hands of the City Solicitor promptly on
Monday morning.
It Is set forth In the bill that tho report
of Taylor on the advisability of construct
ing additional transit facilities for tho
City waa submitted to the Mayor nnd
considered by the city authorities. , The
report stated "at the beginning of tho
transit inquiry It was found that the city
was devoid of legnl authority to con
struct or own transit facilities and also
that the city lacked tho necessary finan
cial resources under tho then existing
legislation." In an effort to supply the
authority of which "tho city of Philadel
phia was devoid," and to avail itself of
tho "necessary financial resources" which
"the city lacked," tho hasty, expedient
and unconstitutional acts of Assembly
ana ordinances were passed.
Further quoting from the report, tho
complainant Btiya It stated "prompt steps
should be takon by tho city to secure
early adjudication of questions which
may arise as to the validity and suffi
ciency of legislation which has been
passed primarily In the Interests of tran
sit development,
TO SETTLE LEGALITY.
Dallam, the petitioner, states that he
concurs In the advisability of securing
"early adjudication of questions which
may arise as to validity and sufficiency of
legislation, and to this end began the
present proceedings In equity. He Is In
formed by counsel, believes and avers
that the legislation branches the validity
and subsisting contractual obligations of
the city; disregards the statute law of
the commonwealth, regulating municipal
corporations engaged or about to be en
gaged In the business ot publlo service
corporation and Ignores the commission
thoreln established to prescribe, dellne,
regulate and limit the powers of such
municipality; revolutionizes the laws of
the State or ordinances of the city rela
tive to the Imposition and collection of
taxes; nullifies the constitutional re-.
strntntB and limitations Imposed to curb
extravagance of municipal expenditure on
credit, and Is fraught with financial
economlo and political peril to both the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Its
municipalities.
It Is stated that at the time of the en
actment by the city of the enabling ordl.
nances, and at the present time, the net

nOllROWINO CAPAoiTY.
The total horrowlng capacity of the
city, based on T per cent, of the assessed
valuation of taxable property less the
net debt. Is, according to the bill, only
1J7,6U,808. This Is for permanent Im
provements. The total borrowing capac
ity for general purposes, according to
the figures of Dallam, Is but 12.768,075 31.
It is then set forth that on March 8.
1915, the Maypr approved ah ordinance,
signifying the desire of the corporate
authorities of the city to increase the In
debtedness ja.OOO.OOO, the. money to bo Used
toward the construction of a subway rail

to OIney avenue, with the necessary
branch lines, and an elevated railway
from Front and Arch streets to Rhawn

of this proposition to the vote of the
electors. Jt is then explained that the
special election necessary waa held and
the loan passed The complainant then
quotes the ordlnsn.ee of June SO, 1914, to

THAW JUBILANT OVER
PROSPECT OF FUEEDOM
Believes State Failed to Rattle
Him and Cause Him to
"Break Loose."
NEW YORK, July 10.-Jubllant over
what seemed to him and his counsel to
be the State's failure to rattle him and
cnuso him to "break loose" at any point,
Harry K. Thaw today believed he could
see permanent freedom In the Very near
future, perhaps about the mlddlo of next
week.
For almost ten hours Thaw waa under
the more or less grilling Inquisition of
Deputy Attorney General Frank K. Cook,
who tbuehed every phaee of ThaWs life,
winding up by making him tell tho story
of Stanford White's murder. Thaw be
lieves ho made tho most credltablo show
In ho ever made In a sanity test
There was ho session of court today,
the hearing late yesterday being ad
journed until Monday.
With Mrs. Evelyn Nesblt Thaw finally
eliminated from the case after several
well-staged faints that resulted In noth
ing more than columns of publicity. In
terest in Thaw's sanity hearing slumped
to a considerable extent It Is likely that
Mrs. Thaw never again will appear In
Thaw litigation unless she fights the
divorce suit which courthouso gossip says
will be filed Immediately should Thaw
gain his freedom,
Thaw today expected to take another
excursion Into tho outside world In com
pany with Sheriff Orlfenhagen. In the
last few days ho has had several tastes
of liberty. Yesterday he enjoyed his first
sight-seeing trip In nine years along Fifth
avenue, the Sheriff taking hlrn for a walk.
Afterward they dined In n leading res
taurant and returned to Ludlow street
Jail on a street car. The night before
Thaw dined at the Waldorf-Astoria.
The State's alienists will testify Mon
day. The lawyers will sum up Tuesday
and the enso will go to the Jury Tuesday
night or early WednMday.

Ford Dividends Delayed Two "Years
Phlladelphlans owning Ford cars wcro
disappointed today to- learn that tho US.
000,000 slock dividend, which the Ford
Motor Company recently voted, will be
delayed at least two years, owlne to
the fact that tho Stato laws of Michigan
do not permit a corporation to capitalise
at moro than $33,000,000. When the Leg
islature reconvenes It Is thought that the
Ford company will be permitted to in
corporate for $100,000,000.

JN A much-advertised and widely-quoted sermon on
"Booze' given some time ago in Philadelphia, the
speaker said: "The saloon comeB as near being a rat
hole for a wage-earner to dump his wages in as .any
thing you can find."
CO OFTEN has this one thought been expressed in
w one way or the other that its constant repetition
has made it pass for truth with many persons. But that
it is a FALLACY is proven by FACTS.

PRETTY GIRLS ENLIST
IN VALIANT CRUSADE
TO HELP JITNEYMEN
Active in Collecting Funds
to Carry on War Against
Ordinance Passed by
Councils Which Is Made
Effective on Monday.
A number of pretty girls were in evl
donco on Chestnut and Broad streets to
day asking for contributions to nld tho
Jitney men In their fight against tho Jit
noy ordinance recently passed by Coun
cils, which goes Into effect next Monday.
The efforts of the fair sex havo mot with
success so far; they report that people
are giving fieoly. One girl collected more
than $100.
It was announced today that another
Jitney newapapor will appear next Thurs
day. It will bo known as the Auto Serv
ice News, and will be published by the
Auto Service Association. The only other
Jitney publication Is tho Jitney Bulletin,
Which is published by the Philadelphia
Jitney Association.
Former Mayor John Weaver, counsel
for tho Jltneymen, said he would 'appeal
to Judgo Sulsborger on Monday to ask
for an early hearing In tho Jitney case.
The Jitney situation constantly becomes
moro complicated. Director of Publlo
Safety George D. Porter has written to
City Solicitor Ryan asking his advlco as
to whether tho police department could
Incur new debts as a result of enforcing
tho ordinance. In view of the fact that
Councils neglected to mako any appro
priation. The Jltneymen hailed the movo as a
forecast of victory, because tho Director
virtually admitted tho poltco were help
less, but the City Solicitor turned the
tables by asking Director Porter to com
pllo all possible ovldenco for enforcing the
ordinance.
Director Porter has stated that ho wilt
act on the advlco of City Solicitor Ryan,
and refuse to interfere with the operation
of the Jitneys until the courts have had
tlmo to pass on tho petition for on In
junction, filed by counsel for tho Auto
Service Association.
Meanwhile the two rival association? ot
Jltneymen are preparing for the coming
battle, but along altogether different lines.
Tho .Philadelphia Jltnoy Association,
whose membership Is rated at 5, on tho
advice of their counsel, John H. Fow, his
hit upon the Idea ot placing sightseeing
signs on cars, to take advantago ot nn
ordinance which excludes all sight-seeing
automobiles from tho requirement of pay
ing license fees. All along Broad street
the former Jitneys may be seen bearing
Blgns reading "See, Broad Street for a
Nickel."

CIS Versus
Fa!
FACT ia a real state of things. FALLACY is an appar
ently genuine but really illogical statement or argument,
" A PENNY saved is a peiny earned said Poor
' Richard. Nowhere is the maxim put to prac
tical test more generally than in Franklin's home town.
"HPHERE are in Philadelphia more savings bank de
positors than there ar families. In one bank
alone there are over 280,000 depositors, while in the
four banks the number exceeds 302,000.
pHERE are in Philadelphia nearly 2000 saloons, but,
even so, no town of strictest prohibition can show
either so large a percentage of savmgs bank depositors
or bo much money in the banks as can the Quaker City."
