Wissahiekon Creek's latest mystery has
been solved and peaceful householders
along Its banks aro breathing eaeler this
morning.
Lata yesterday afternoon a tired bus
iness man, returning to his home, dis
covered a woman's stocking and some
fllmr lingerie on his property, which
borders on the banks of the stream. Foul
playT Perhaps it was his wife.
Trembling with fear and with all kinds
of horrors running through his mind, ho
hurried to the house. His wife, calmly
cooking a beefsteak, smiled at him as
he entered the door. He explained his
fears and displayed the wearing ap
parel. Together they went back to Investi
gate. A little further up the stream they
came across two dainty shoes, floating
peacefully on the water. Another stock
ing, which proved to be the mato to shoe
No. 1, hung to a protruding stick, whlla
on the other bank of the creek rested a
half-opened suit case filled with woman's
clothing.
Aht a murder mystery) Together they
returned to the houso and then hurriedly
called up their neighbors and notified tho
police.
The neighbors went down along tho
creek and found more women's clothes,
coats, hats, shoca, dresses and any
amount of dainty negligee. But no body
was found, so the alarmed neighbors re
turned to their homes,
This morning, somo SO odd girls, rang
ing from It to 18 years, dressed In middy
blouses and bloomers, descended upon
tho householders along tho creek and
demanded In polite terms the return of
their clothing.
They were members of the camp at
Erdenhelm, Pa., being held under the
auspices of the Philadelphia Playgrounds
Association, whose tents were pitched
along tho stream. They had been In
camp one day, they said, when a young
cloudburst hit them early yesterday
morning, nooning tnclr tents and nosh
ing most of their belonllngs In tho creek.
The middy blouses and bloomers wore all
the clothes they had loft.
According to the young ladles, the wa
ter rose four feet and several tents were
washed down, Including the supply tent,
where a barrel of flour and other boxed
foodstuffs were washed away.
The girls wore given back their clothes,
that Is those that were found, and re
turned to their camp to Identify them,
while the peaceful housekeepers along
the historic stream breathed a sigh of relief.
NO WD FOR ALARM
IN CASE JF JITNEYS'
FIGHT FOR EXISTENCE
While Drivers Seek Bond
Security in Injunction
Proceedings, There Is No
Danger of Gourt or Po
lice Interference. ,
Owners and drivers of Jitney cars and
the thousands of persons who rids Hi
them need not become Alarmed because
of reports that the Injunction granted to
ftlve IIia ll(niva a. lease of life, at least
until September 80, by Judge Sultberger,
may be dismissed because of the failure
of the Jitney AUlo Berviee Association to
nie tho bond for 500. The bond was a
v-AniilrAtnAtit tnffitikrf nH in th6 OnlAlon
given by the court when the city was
prevented from enforcing Its new ordi
nance Ihat would have been the death
of the popular cars In Philadelphia.
Both Director of Public Safety Porter
and Superintendent of Police noblnson
are out of the city. It has been learned,
however, ilmt that notice will not make
any attempt to enforce the provisions of
thn ordinance without Instructions from
Judge Suliberger to do ko. Buoh instruc
tions would only come from the Judge
nftcr the Injunction had been set asldo
In Court. It Is not believed that an
other Judge would set aside the Injunc
tion granted by Judge Suliberger, The
latter will not sit regularly until on or
about September 20, and there are no
present indications that he could ar
range to sit In special session to hear
complaints against the Auto Service As
sociation before ho leaves tho city on his
summer vacation. Therefore, It Is not
thought probable that the Injunction
would bo dismissed, even thoimh Michael
J. Ilvan. Cltv Solicitor, should deslro to
appeal to the Court In event the bond
was not filed.
VEGETABLE MARKET STILL
CONGESTED, DESPITE STORM
Dealers and Organizations Devising
Ways to Relieve Glut.
The congested condition of tho vege
table market Is beginning to arouse deal
! ers all over the city, as well as a num
ber of organizations Interested In the
food question. It Is feared that unless
relief steps of some sort, are taken, many
farmers will be driven out of business.
Tho subject Is now attracting the at
tention of the Philadelphia Agricultural
Service Bureau, an organization formed
as a result of an agricultural conference
called by Charles S. Calwell, president of
the Corn Exchange National Bank
What the effect of the storm will ba
on the market glut cannot yet be ascer
tained. The conditions caused by the
over supply sre still in evidence, but It
Is too soon for any change that may
follow the storm to manifest ItsMf.
Precautions are already being taken to
prevent the peach crop from auifprliiu tho
experiences of the tomato crop. The Fed
eral Government is co-operating In this,
and yesterday G, It. Branch, of the
United States Department of Agriculture,
left this city and went to New York to
make arrangements there whereby that
city will provide an outlet if there Is a
surplus supply of peaches.

THIS CITY DOES NOT FEEL
SCARCITY OF LEAD FOR PIPES
Cleveland Fears Water Rates May Be
Increased Because of War Price.
The Philadelphia Watsr Bureau is pe
culiarly fortunate In huvlng procured a
lare supply of lead before the outbreak
of the European war for tho manufac
ture of Joints for pipe. Otherwise, the
city might have been threatened with
an Increase of water rates, Fear Is ex
pressed in Cleveland that the water bills
may be Increased because of the growing
scarcity of pig lead, an important factor
In the municipal water system. Clev.
land is paying unprecedented prices for
the lead and the water commissioner. C.
F. Schulz, anticipating another rise In
cost, haB ordered the purchase of 200 tons
of the lead at the present rate.
Chief Carlton B. Davis, of tho Water
Bureau here, declared today that enough
lead was now in store here to last at
least six months. A greater quantity was
purchased than -was needed shortly bo
fore the beginning of the conflict. This
was due rather to the availability of extra
funds than to an anticipation of needs
by the city authorities.

BTAN SYMPATHETIC
That Mr. Hyan Is not nnxlous to take
steps to havo the Injunction vacated Is
clearly understood by those who havo
discussed the matter with him, It is said.
When asked If he planned to npply to the
Court to have the Injunction dismissed
and then to ask the pollco department to
enforce the ordinance, Mr. Ryan smiled
and said that ho was not prepared to say
at that time, but that he did not think
It would be necessary. He expressed his
confidence that the Jltncymen would file
the bond as soon as they could, and said
he had been Informed that they would.
The City Solicitor declared that he had
every reason to believe that they in
tended to do so.
When asked If thero were any proba
bility that he would take nctlon today If
the bond Is not filed, Mr. Hyan said ho
would bo out of the city nnd would not
return until tomorrow. Since Judge Sulz
berger is to leave on his vacation either
at the end of this week or early next
week, it is, therefore, unlikely that Mr.
Ryan could arrange to have the Judge sit
to hear a complaint before he leaves tho
city, even though he should decide to
make an application for a dismissal of
the Injunction after his return tomor
row. THYINO TO GET BOND
In the meantime it Is known that tho
JItneymen are working unceasingly to ob
tain the bond. All day yesterday and lato
last night tho committee representing the
Jitney Auto Service Association and the
Philadelphia Jitney Association, tho lat
ter the orglnal organization of JItneymen,
was hard at work trying to arrange to
file tho paper and George S. Winner,
president of the Jitney Service Associa
tion, asserted that it might bo filed to
day, Somo JItneymen and members of the
Special Bond Committee of the two or
ganizations have stated their belief that
they have been unablo to obtain the band
because certain corporation powers had
been active to prevent the bonding comV
panleB from Belling them the bond. In
support of this assertion they pointed
out that although tho cost of the in
junction proceedings, which tho bond
is Intended to assure, would In all prob
ability bo less than 2E0, a bonding com
pany naa reiusea to sell the bond to
them when they offered to deposit 5M
in actual casn. rncy nao the cash on
hand, and offered to deposit it tho day
before yesterday.
Tomorrow night a meeting is to be
held In the Parkway Building, and at
that time it will be proposed to form
a strong organization with officers at its
head that will be satisfactory to all JIt
neymen, and it Is planned to fight to the
last ditch to prevent any action that
would kill the business.
