WORK ON SUBWAY
HALTED; CHANGES
IN PLANS CAUSE
Director Twining Says Op
erations May Be Re
sumed m Month
MAYOR MUST APPROVE
Plans for the construction of thes Broad
street subway hnvo been changed by the.
new Director of Transit William 8 Twin
ing:. This was announced this afternoon
by Mr. Twining, who explained that tho
modifications were duo to conditions un
foreseen when work on tho project was
started.
Mayor Smith conferred with the dlrec
tor today rerardlns tho amount of money
that should be Included In tho municipal
loan bill for Improvements In the city's
transit system. After tho meeting, tho
latter said:
"Work has stopped under City Hall so
as Co allow us to make certain changes In
tho stations, lines and routing I am having-
plans prepared which will bo submit
ted to Mayor Smith no.xt week. If ho
approves tho changes work can bo re
sumed within a month.
"Tho delny Is not Important, as tlmo
will be saved In the end. I bellevo tho
changes will result In better service tor
passengers and In a better lino. It Is
better to lose a little tlmo at the start In
rt project involving such a great cost than
to have to make changes later.
"Certain engineering problems havo
nrlsen that necesltate alterations, and nil
of theso changes will bo embodied In my
report to the Mayor. I had a great deal
to do with tho plans of Mr. Taylor, nnd
did not agree with all of their provisions
at tho time, Since I havo become tho Di
rector of tho Department of Transit I
have explained these things to tho Mayor,
and havo suggested certain modifications
which ho will act upon."
That part of tho Taylor transit plan
which places the central station of the
Broad street subway under City Hall will
bo altered so that the greater part of tho
station will bo beyond tho lines of tho
public buildings, if tho ideas of Mr. Twin
ing aro carried out. Other changes of
equal Importance are said to bo under
tho Director's consideration, but ho re
fused to discuss tho matter in detail.
Work on tho subway has been virtually
at a standstill since tho. beginning of cold
weather, around for the section beneath
City Hall was broken on September 11.
The contract Is held by the Keystone
Construction Company and the cost of the
section Is estimated at $1,700,000. The
principal trouble encountered slnco tho
undertaking was begun Is Haul to havo
been duo to tho "rubble" which Is con
tained In tho foundation of City Hall,
rather than splld stone.

William B. Knight, Clerk in Re
corder Stackhouse's Office,
in Serious Condition in
Cooper Hospital
NO PLEA BY PRISONER
Fifteen hundred Haitian soldiers were
about to attack several United States
marines, when tho conynandcr of tho
enerny soldiers ran away with their pay
and the battle was off. That commercial
Ism stands higher than patriotism among
tho rebels was evident for the reason that
they turned on their heels when within
100 yards of Uncle Sam's headquarters,
and chased the absconding general.
He .was captured by soldiers under tho
direction of Colonel L. W. T. Waller,
commandant of tho United States Marino
Corps at Haiti.
Colonel Waller arrived at the Philadel
phia Navy Yard this afternoon from
Haiti. The cruiser Tennessee brought
him to Old Point Comfort. He made the
rest of the journey by train. When
pressed for dotnlls about conditions in
Haiti tho Colonel told of tho "near-battle"
between the United States Marines and
rebels, and said that, desplto the many
revolutions, Haiti Is now In a progressive
state of mind.
On September 1 last. Colonel Waller
said, there were nine persons in Ouanan
lnthe and the population is now 3000.
Ridled and burned buildings have been
repaired and coffee and sugar mills nre
working full time. If given a chance
under the United States flag, Colonel Wal
ler said, Haiti could become ono of tho
beauty spots of the world.
The Colonel was accompanied north by
Captain William II. Barker, of the id
.Regiment, United States Marine Corps. '
Mystery surrounding the wounding of
William II. Knight, a widely known Cam
den lawyer and clerk in Recorder Stack
house's olllce, was not clenred up today,
when the woman accfised of the shouting,
Mrs. Cecelia Hoeffler, of 0-10 North Gth
street, Camden, waived a hearing before
Recorder Stnckhouse and was held In
$2000 ball
Mr. Knight Is In the Cooper Hospital
seriously wounded by one revolver bullet,
which took effect when he was llrcd upon
five times last night.
"lie Insulted me last December when I
went to his ofllce lo engage his fccrvlces
In a case," the woman Is quoted by the
pollco ns saying In her alleged admission
of the shooting. "I bought a revolver
when I left the ofllce, and have been 'lay
ing' for him ever since." Her complete
statement will not be made public by tho
pollco until It Is presented to Prosecutor
Kraft.
Mrs. HoefTler was calm as she was
arraigned today, refusing to plead "guilty"
or "not guilty." Sho is an attractive
blonde, 20 years old, and has two children,
a boy 3 years old and a girl 11 years. She
Is separated from her husband.
According to friends of Mr. Knight,
Mrs IFoeilier has been annoying him for
some tlmo with requests that he repre
sent her In a case. When ho declined to
act as her lawyer, they say, she became
angry. She Is said also o nave demanded
that ho cause the removal from a Cam
den newspaper of a serial cartoon which
sho asserted was a reflection on her.
Tho shooting occurred on Cooper street
near Cth street. Two boys who wit
nessed the attack on Mr. Knight say that
the woman walked up behind the lawyer,
and, after whispering something they
could not understand, began firing. Five
shots were fired, but only ono took effect.
When the wounded man fell, tho boys
assert, the woman turned and walked
rapidly to Gth street. They followed her
to Broadway ami Federal street and saw
her arrested by Policeman Wagoner.
Mr. Knight was taken Into tho ofllce
of a physician near tho scene of the
shooting, and from there was removed to
the hospital. Tho boy witnesses are David
Crawford, 14 years old. of 734 Federal
street, and Harry Barker, 13 years old,
of 733 Carman street.

N W YORK. Feb. 29. The demands of
tho soft coal miners wero formally rejected
today, at the conference of the Joint
Committee of the representatives of the
United Mine Workers of America and the
operators, according to Information ob
tained from nn authentic source when the
morning session ended. The miners were
notified to formulate fresh offers upon
which a compromise could bo based.
The orglnal demands of tho miners were
three: (1) Twenty per cent, wage In
crease on tonnage basis; (2) 10 per cent.
Increase on day labor, and (3) mlno run
basis of payment.
It had been generally expected that the
operators would refuse the miners' de
mands, but that a compromise ultimately
would he reached, upon which the men
would get a wage Increase.
LAWYER ASSERTS BRINDEIS
"IS NOT STRAIGHTFORWARD"
Some in Boston, He Says, Would Use
"Not Trustworthy"
WASHINGTON. Feb. 29. Kdward W.
Hutrhlns, a Boston attorney, today told
the Senate subcommittee that the general
opinion of the Boston bar was that Louis
D. Brandeis, the President's Supreme
Court nominee, "la a lawyer of great abil
ity, but not straightforward."
"Some Boston attorneys," said Hutchlns,
would go so far as to say Mr. Brandeis
was not trustworthy, but the general
opinion doesn't go that far."
Personally, Hutchlns said, he had never
had cause to complain of Brandeis' tac
tics In cases where they were opposed.
Suffragists and antl-suffrnglsts hero al
most ngrecd today In their support of
Justice Shenrn of tho Now York Supremo
Court, who In a decision yesterday said
thnt In theso ndvnnccd days a wife was
no longer to bo considered In any way
subordinate to her husband ; that sho
was his equal and partner, and that there
fore It was not for the father to assert
his prior right to tho children of mar
riage In case husband and wlfo separ
ated. The suffragists nnd antls In Philadel
phia did not agree about tho "equal and
partner" part, hut their agreement came
In that phaso of the decision which said
the husband had no special right to chil
dren In the event of a separation.
Mrs. Horaco Brock, leader of the antls,
said:
There must bo a head of every con
cern, families also, but In the unfor
tunate event of a separation tho only
thing which should determine tho
placing of tho children Is tho welfare
of those children.
" COMMENDS DECISION.
Miss Carollno Katzenstoln, secretary of
tho Equal Franchise Society, viewed tho
decision ns ono In which suffragists will
rejoice, while Mrs. M. C. Morgan, a prom
inent Congressional Union worker, said
that if tho Justice had taken any other
view, men and women alike would havo
decided that he was not fit for his place.
Tho suit was brought by the Rev. Bur
ton Howard Lee, nn Episcopal minister of
Osslnlng, N. Y separated from Mrs, Lee,
nnd desirous of possessing both their chil
dren. His argument was based on tho
old understanding that the father was
the head of the family nnd therefore en
titled to rule It as he pleased.
Justlco Shcarn refused to consider that
this old Idea prevailed any longer, nnd
decided with tho change of custom the
law had changed, too, nnd that today
the woman had equal rights with the
man, the wife equal rights with the hus.
band.
It was this that Induced Mls3 Katzcn
steln to say:
The decision Is ono In which suf
fragists must rejoice, because It Is
Just In line with tho reform that wo
are advocating. Many persons do not
realize that it Is not only for tho bal
lot that we aro working, but for all
that Is Implied by this recognition of
our rights and duties us human be
ings. The ballot Is only a tool, and
woman suffrage Is only ono phase of
the great feminist movement in which
women nra striving for nn opportu
nity for full development. We wish
to be real comrades for our husbands,
sharing equally with them the trials
and fruits of life.
THE CHILD'S WELFARE.
Mrs. Horace Brock, asked to comment
from the anll-suffraglsts' viewpoint, said:
"J think the .TnsHro wrua rlhf ,,.liAn v.
said the great test in awarding the chil
dren should be the welfare of tho child.
That has always been tho prlnclplo our
Pennsylvania courts have worked on. It
Isn't a case of something new or old.

WILLIAM J. WELLS
nt least In this State, where the children,
tho next generation, havo always been
considered.
"I do not agree that tho husband Is not
tho head of tho family. Every concern
must have a head, even n family. But
courts havo never tnken the opinion that
women have no rights at all, and I do
not see why anybody should Interpret this
decision as something now. The disposi
tion of children In such unfortunate In
stances ns where thcro must bo a separa
tion Is entirely governed by circumstances,
usunlly on what is best for tho children."
Mrs. Morgan said:
I do' not think Justlco Shcarn could
have taken any other position, not
In this day and nge. If ho hnd taken
nny othor position ho would havo
been criticised by men nnd women
alike, nnd would havo proved him
self Incapablo of properly filling his
position.
JUSTICE SHEABN'S RULING.
Tho salient points In tho Justice's opin
ion were as follows:
It Is claimed that a father has a
paramount right to tho custody of
u child. This was once tho law, but
we havo emerged from tho Dark
Ages during which married women
had the status of slaves and chattels.
The only basis of tho father's alleged
superior right today Is his obligation
to support his children.
This basis disappears when ono
considers what a mother gives to
her children In suffering, self-sac-rlflco
and devotion. On nny admeas
urement of rights determined by serv
Ico rendered, the right of a mother to
the custody of her children is at least
equal to that of tho father. Tho great
test should be tho wcltare of the child.
While the father's supposed para
mount right Is asserted in this case,
the decision really turns on nnother
question tho validity of a separa
tion agreement wherein the fnthcr di
vests himself of tho custody of his
child and surrenders It to tho mother.
Justice Shenrn then stated Leo relied'
on a decision In Barry vs. Morceln, where
in the Court took Blackstone's view that
a father could not covenant with his wlfo
and thus divest himself of tho custody of
his children tn her favor. This decision
was rendered in 1842.
OLD DECISION UPSET.
Justlco Shearn concluded: (
"Tho wold has moved since 1811. It Is
not to bo believed today that any en
lightened court would subscribe to tho
statement that the very being or legal
existence of tho woman Is suspended dur
ing marriage, or at least Is separated and
consolidated Into that of the husband.
"By statute and decision It Is now true
that a wife Is permitted to contract with
the freedom of a 'femo sole' and by ex
press consent of the Legislature sho can
contract with her husband, the same as if
unmarried, except they cannot alter or
dissolve the marriage and she cannot re
lease him from the obligation to support
her."
FUMES OF SCHWEITZER CHEESE

Sympathizing Sausages, Sorrowful Salmon and Other

Grocer's Family Escapes
SEVEN SPITTERS ARRESTED
Disaster came to n group of Schweitzer
cheeses nnd several sympathizing sausages
today In a fire which also strangled a flock
of English bloaters and suffocated many
pounds of butter. The flames incidentally
singed a lot of sorrowful salmon, torpe
doed a tank of pickles and sque died the
ambition of a bunch of defiant delicatessen
generally.
And the fumes freighted with these
expensive odors greeted the nostrils of
1-year-old Bennett Tessner as ha rested
comfortably between the blankets at his
home, 3201 Oordon street. The varl-
pnlnreri nmnlrn Km,lTp1 enn on,l !,& vnk..

Dy inrowing manxets over their heads
managed to get through the smoke and
flame safely to the street.
As the family reached the sidewalk
flames burst from the windows of their
grocery on the first floor. Another min
ute's delay might have been too late.
The fire caused a loss of 1000. Its
origin Is unknown.
