About half of these men wero Americans

TAYLOR GRATIFIED.
Director Taylor, of the Department of
City Transit, who la at Atlantic city. re
Iterated lOday his gratification ftt the
wlthdrawnl of the apposition Of the tran
sit company to his comprehensive high
speed transit plans, Ho declined to com
ment further than to say that the transit
company has takoh an important step
toward co-operating with the citizens of
Philadelphia. He Is expected to Issue a
formal statement early next ween.
T. B. Mitten, president of the Philadel
phia Itnpld Transit Company, nnd Ellis
Ames Ballard, counsel for the company,
were both out Of the city today. It was
Stated At the eftloes of the Rapid Transit
Company that at this time there is no
further comment to come from the com
pany other than the letter forwarded to
the Public Service Commission,
liBTTCR ANKOUMOBfl CHANGE.
Tho deolslon of the Transit Company
to agree to the city's plan for subway
and elevated construction was reveal"!
In ft Utter received by the State Pubiio
Service commission at llarrlsbtlrg today.
In this letter the compahy withdrew tho
protest wnieh it had made against the
granting of a. certificate of public con
venience to permit the beginning Of con
struction worJ on the Broad street sub
way and the Frankford elevated lines.
Whllo the sudden change of front on
the part of the transit company Is one
Of the most startling developments which
has come about In tho entire transit fight,
no hint of the reasons for the change
could be learned from the officials of the
company. The move was entirely unex
pected by either City fiolleitor Ryan or
Director Taylor:
The vigorous opposition to the graming
of the certificate of 4'ublle convenience
which Ellis Ames Ballard, chief coun
sel for the company, had offered at the
public hearing In Harrlsburg on Monday
had disturbed even the most sanguine
of Director Taylor's supporters. It was
generally believed that the move by Mr.
Ballard at that time presaged a long
and bitter legal fight.
The City Solicitor, proceeding on the
belief that he would Have to tight tho
matter out before the commission, had
forwarded to Acting Chairman Penny
packer a 40-pAge legal brief answering
the arguments ottered by Mr, Ballard
against the granting of the certificate.
Several hours later he wan Informed of
the action Of tho transit cdmpany.
THE COMPANY'S STATEMENT.
The company's complete statement to
tha Publla Service Commission follows:
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company, while asserting Its rights
under tna contract of Jury 1, 1007, to
a 80-day period within which to ac
cept or reject the construction of the
high-speed lines for which tho city
now asks a certificate or certificates
of public Convenience, And further
Asserting Its contract right On Broad
street vested In the nth and uth
Btrst Passenger Railway company
under the act of March 57. 1873, where
by. In consideration or that company
surrendering Its right id build and
operate a railway along Broad street,
the Stato of Pennsylvania covenanted
that said street should not be there
after used for transit facilities com
peting with the lines of said company
on the adjacent streets, viz.. 13th
Btrect and 15th street, which contract
rights it asserts aro Inviolable, sub
ject only to taking with compensation
under the power or eminent domain
duly exercised,
Nevertheless, In view of the evidence
presented at the hearing before this
commusion, showing that more than
twice as many clttsens wilt be served
by the high-speed line If operated by
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Cpm
pany than If Operated by an Inde
pendent company, and or the state
ment by the Director of Cty Transit
that In hi opinion it la preferable to
have them operated by the Philadel
phia Rapid Transit company, and be
lieving that at tno proper time a con
tract for the operation of thste lines
will be offered by the city of Philadel
phia to the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit Company which van be accepted
and which will fully and fairly protect
It from a competition whloh it Is asked
to set up against itself, and In order
that publla Improvements duly au
thored by City Council may proceed
-without delay, hereby withdraws any
protest and objection which It may
