Iron, coal and other products turned out by tho tens of thou oands In the great Industrial 'tatu "' I'emisylvanla should move through the port of Philadelphia when the pinna or the hew Director of tho Department of Vhnrvei, Docks nnd Terries are consum mated. OeorRc S Webster, now chief of the i Survey IJureau In the Department of Pub lic Works, is the man named by Mnyor elect Thomas li. Smith to direct tho e nendlturi' of the $9,m.(H provided for In tho J90.noo.000 loan for port and harbor Improvements and other great sums that will bo appropriated, The vision of the- new port seen by Mr. Webster Is a irlowInK one, but thero Is nothing now or recent In It to him. Tho vision has been expanding with tho port for n few months les thnn 53 years, which Is tho length of time Chief Webster has spent In the service of tho city. In nil that tlmo ho has been In but ono bureau. It Is said hv those who know at City Hall that he has had homo Important part In virtually c-ury ureal public Im provement mnilo within the last 1 or ?) years, Hln appointment as Director of Wli.trvcs, Docks and Ferries was hulled as a surprlso by the polltlclms only. Those who know of his record In the De partment of lul)llc Works, whero eight Mnyom of all shades of political belief have npproved his work, were not oven mllill. surprised. In his present post Mr Webster lius had much to do with the plans for the South Philadelphia grudo crossing lemovals. Ho Is in direct touch with nearly every im jirovemcnt planned for the whole water front, and what Is being done In South Philadelphia, with what will ho done, is nt his linger ends. In many ways tho Departments of I'ubllc Works and of "Wharves. Docks unci Ferries are Inter related Tho co-operation that ahvuys has existed between them should bo ntronger than ever under the Smith ad ministration. "This i ihe golden opportunity for tho port of Philadelphia," said Mr. Webster toda) "Never lti tho history of thy city has there been such a chance for 11 to take the pluco It should hold among tho other great ports of the Atlantic sea board Defore tho term of my appoint ment runs out 1 expect to neo this port .Jirmly established as the outlet for nil tho great Industries of Pennsylvania. It is now the natural outlet, and only the lack of facilities, a lack that Is soon to bo remedied, prevents It from handling an enormously Increased volume of busi ness." Chlif Webster reached into n flic nnd produced the ordinance covering tho South Philadelphia agreement between tho city nnd the railroads Ho pointed out tho clause which provides that tho Holt Line l'nllro.td shall bo open not only to all roads now enteilng this city, but to thcrs that may establish connections here. s ilone," ho said, "means that Phil adelphia must and will provide ever In creasing facilities for export. It means thru -i railroad hero now, and those that may come, may Instantly ho put In touch with any part of tho city s long river ironi in lieu i.mo now nas r tracks as far north along tho Delawnro ll n TlHlnalt,r, T.-tr- titan nlnnv flin T"l,l aware may be reached hy It, and event ually a large part of tho Schuylkill Itlver water front. "I am for a greater port for Phila delphia I have been for It all my life. It Is a great port now, but It Is to bo greater than ever. I do not ngree with those who contend that thero are too many dillicultles in the way of the Im provements already planned and those contemplated or proposed. There Is every rcaBon why tho port should develop. STATE AND NATION CONCERNED. "I believe the State should realize that It Is to the Interest of the wholo Com monwealth to develop Philadelphia aB the great port of Pennsylvania. There Is every reason why the Industries of this State should ship through this city when adequate facilities are provided. And In my opinion there will he no dlfllculty whatsoever In setting tho business once we havo tho facilities now being estab lished. "The Federal Government Is beginning to realize that more should be done for the Delaware. Philadelphia as a port will be helped by the preparedness propa gancla. It will not be long before tho Del aware Is dredged to a depth of S3 feet. AVo then can provide for the largest ea sels. Two piers of tho great Moyamenslng group are completed. Work has been started on another. The grade crossings are being removed In South Philadelphia. Along tho whole stretch of river front there Is Increased activity." Almost coincident with this statement by the new Director dispatches from Washington set forth that appropriations totaling J2.163WO) for the Delaware had been requested In the report of Secretary McAdoo, submitted to Congress. Should this program go through It will mean that Improvements by the Federal Gov ernment and the city will keep pace. If it should not go through Philadelphia's work in the development of tho port will forse ahead of the Government's. NEW DIRECTOR ON THIS WORK The records and personality of the new Director of Wharves, Docks and Ferries are of Interest to all Philadelphlans In view of the work he Is to be called on to supervise, He Is an engineer who has won his spurs on sheer ability. It was as an engineer, not as a political leader, that he got the appointment from Mayor elect Smith. Since he was 22 years old Mr. Webuter has been in the employ of the city. lie was born in this city October 19, 1&6, and educated at Friends' Select School and the University of Pennsylvania. The 1'nlverslty has twice honored him with the degree of bachelor of science and doctor of science. His first appointment was to a position hi the Uureau of Sur veys, In which bureau he has remained ever since. This was in January of 1ST. On May 1, leSO, he wan elected surveyor and regulator of the 10th survey district. Twelve years later, on February 1, 1S92, he became principal assistant engineer In, the bureau. After three months he was appointed acting chief engineer and he was confirmed as chief of the bureau February 1, 1333. He has supervised the construction of 750 miles of sewers, of the sewage treatment plant at Torres data and the design and construction of the great concrete arch bridge over the WUsahlckon at Walnut lane, the Falls, Cray's Ferry and Passyunk avenue bridges over the Schuylkill. la conjunction with his assistant, George E. Dateaman, who has been ap pointed by ilayor-elect Smith the Direc tor of the Department of Public Works, ilr. Webster wrote trie voluminous report on. the (23,000,000 sewage disposal system that Is to bo constructed lit this cUy. If e also has had supervision of the widen ing of Delaware avenue, from Vine street to South street; the, erecting of tbo three treat municipal piers nnd the dredg ing cf the channel of the Delaware Klver t reus the ettjp to Kiksi Hack, t'stU M car aa wtur c depart LAt.

The work was handled by tho Department of Public Works and, ns head of tho Ilureau of Survuys, Mr. Webster was tllrcclly In eharge of mutiy great public Improvements. Many Philadel phlans do not rember that it was the city that dredged the Delaware ltlvcr to tho 23 foot depth us far down un Murcus Hook. Tho Government took up the wotk at that depth nnd dredged the ptcsent ."0-foot channel. Mr. Webster Is married mid has a on :S years old, who nlso is an engineer.

Mrs. Martin said tho boy often camo homo nnd demanded money from her. nnd when sho refused to glvo It to him he broko furniture and dishes and btruck her. When tho mother had testllled tho youth broko down and pleuded with her not to send him to prison. Tho mother's lovo was greater than tho Injury ho had done her, and sho asked tlm Magistrate to glvo him another chance.

In speaking of the brighter side of tho present war ho said: "It has taken tho ugly night llf-s away from Jjondon, and given tho people some thing finer, moro splendid, more enduring nnd moro lusting. It abolishes trivialities; they nro all gone. Mnn hasn't changed any in nil tho ages; this war shows it. Tho evolution has been grentei, but tho netunil Instinct hasn't died."
