Recklessness of Motor

tji Increasing tendency ot motorists to
iak ft speedway out oc vvainut sircei
Jjt of 40th has aroused tho Indignation
. .Mnts of that section to such a
fitltch that a petition nnklng for better
ILiim nrolectlon Is being circulated.
6Th speeding Is especially noticeable on
ftta bill from 46th to 48th streets, on
tlloh la tho west rnlladolphla High
School, whero 4000 pupils attend. Tho
uitnrlstj arb said to go as high as BO
'miles an hour up this hill, usually con
tinuing their speeding toward B2d street,
tfcers they slow down for tho heavy
tmsstoTrn traffic.
Tha recklossncss of the drivers lias
toned many accidents. Within ono week
Itlere were three Bmash-ups, two children
'dreck and a woman killed, nil thn nccl-
'fenjj occurring between 44th and G2d

:. Prominent persons living along Walnut

jelibborhood concerned to nrrcst alt of

'the petitioners, but so far his presence,

liceman Is stationed at tho corner of 40th
and Walnut bireets at morning, noon and

Three smash-ups, two children
struck and a woman killed within

House on corner of GOth and
Walnut streets struck several times
lately, once having porch step3 de

school and call for them, in fear
for their lives.
Petition started condemning con

Ignore It. At tho tlmo my boy was run
down there wnsn't n policeman on tho
sccno for a hnlf hour. I havo had people
como to mo denouncing tho conditions as
a menace Wo should havo better pollco
service, a motorcycle policeman to patrol
tho street. I havo nrranged a petition,
which li being circulated, and I also Intend
to visit Director Wilson "
Solect Councilman Ira D. Garman, who
lives at 21C South 4J5th street, said today
that ho knew conditions wero dangerous
nnd thnt ho would "do something" "Yes,
there la speeding and there are accidents,"
ho said. Things should be corrected. A
cycle policeman 'would, no doubt, do n lot
of good, nnd I Intend to seo Director Wil
son or Superintendent Robinson."
Dr. George A. Wilson, whoso house on
tho corner ot noth and Walnut streets,
has been struck several times by auto
mobiles during cdlllslons, emphatically
condemned conditions. In ono accident,
part of his porch steps was taken away.
No ono In tho household was Injured.
DANGER TO SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Prof. P.irkcr Schoch, principal of tho
Girls' West Philadelphia High School,
said that tho 3000 pupils In the high
school and the 1000 in the Leo Grammar
School were In constant danger from the
flying automobiles
"Wo linvo had signs erected, warning
tho motorists of the school children, but
tho Blgns seem to do llttlo good. Tho
speeding is dangerous, nnd It Is now hard
ly safo to cross tho street. Something
should bo dono, tho regulations regarding
speeding should bo rigidly enforced. I
havo repeatedly warned tho pupils of their
danger. To watch tho narrow escapes
every day makes ono think It n miracle
that there aren't more accidents.
Mrs. Horace D. Fry, of 4836 Walnut
street, a relation to City Controller
Wnlton, also said tho condition along Wal
nut street was dangerous. Tha danger
to school children was great, Hho said, and
conditions could bo remedied greatly by
a. motorcycle policeman.
B. S. Levcgor, proprietor of a drug
store at 49th and Walnut streets, was
most emphatic In denouncing tho speeding
motorists.
"I havo had people come Into my store
gasping and In a highly nervous state
from narrow escapes they havo had," he
said. "I have also seen women nnd chil
dren wait as long as 20 minutes before
they dared to cross tho street. Often I
havo sent my porter to assist them. The
conditions are dangerous and deplorable.
Nowhere In any other part of tha city
can such speeding bo seen."
Superintendent of Pollco Robinson,
when Informed of the protests of the resi
dents, said; "There Is already one police
man stationed In that district and he la
sufficient."
back there, nnd he Is very well satisfied
where he Is right now, he ndds.
There aro bo many Phlladelphlans down
here that the Slayer's party everybody
calls It that, though nobody knows If he's
paying all the bills feels perfectly at
home; did. In fact, the moment they got
here.
If one doesn't meet homo folk ln the
hotel they'll be found over at tho Country
Club, where everybody goes. Tho very
first Philadelphia face the Mayor ran Into
was that of Ralph Bingham, who Is mak
ing a lyceum tour In thebo parts. So he
had him up to dinner, nnd then they all
went over to tho cottage and Ralph enter
tained them there.
That cottage Is Inhabited by all of the
Philadelphia crowd except the Smiths and
the Varea. They are quartered In the
hotel. The Senator always stays around
the Mayor. It amuses the people Bome

ties" said one buxom person from the
Northwest.
Tho other day the Mayor, tha Senator,
llttlo Frederick Smith, Mr. Boyle and Mr.
Uazlett spent the morning loafing down
town and looking over the city, taking In
such places as the old dueling grounds on
the banks of the Savannah River, where
the old colonels used to easa their tempers.

17-YEAR-OLD WARRIOR
RETURNS FROM FRANCE
Philadelphia Boy Who Fought
for Allies Ready to Fight
for U. S.
JOHN R. MURPHY
West Philadelphia can boast of a true
young soldier of fortune. He returned
to his home In this city after being bad
ly wounded while fighting for the cause
of the Allies In France, yet his one Idea
now Is to battle for the Stars and Stripes
In Mexico, If this country should happen
to go to war.
John R. Murphy Is the young soldier's
name. He lives with his mother, Mrs.
John Tacey, nt 6112 amy's avenue, and
was formerly a clerk In the chemical
works of Harrison Brothers, 35th street
and Gray's Ferry avenue.
Tho lad Is bashful about telling his ex
periences, especially -when It comes to the
fact that he ran away from home more
than a year ago to fight He Is of English
and Irish extraction. He -was wounded
by a Bhrapnel shell from a German aero
plane while In a skirmish at Suzanne,
France, which killed 10 men outright and
wounded a score of others.
When the boy was picked up bleeding,
tho following letter was found In his
pocket;
"In case of accident or death notify
my mother, Mrs. John Tacey, 6112 Oray's
avenue, Philadelphia, U. S. A., and give
her everything I possess. Tell her I have
done my duty In the cause I know to have
been right that being the destruction of
tho Oerman nation and the overthrow of
the tyrant,"
The "good old U. S. A." seems upper
most In his mind now, however, and the
lad's eyes are turned toward Mexico. "I
don't want to go If there are only going
to ba a few skirmishes," he explained. "If
there Is any real fighting, I'd go In a
minute." His mother said 8he was euro
her son would do Just what he said.

CITY IN GRIP OF SNOW;
SPRING 4 DAYS OFF
Coldest March 16 on Record.
Warmer Later in Day, the
Weatherman Says
Tho nftcrmath of the howling March
winds, laden with Bnow, that swept tho
State Is hero today, which Is tho coldest
March 16 on record.
With spring only four days distant, tho
city Is Ico and nnow-bound nnd tho mer
cury Is hovering about lower marks than
for many a day. There li yet a sharp nip
ln the Northwest wind, although tho sun
began to Bhtno beforo 0 o'clock and tho
mercury started to rise.
In the suburbs, whero tho wind reached
a velocity of 30 miles during tho night,
tho snow was piled high, and In places
Impeded railway trafllc. Telegraph and
long-dlstnnco telephone service was crip
pled Tho storm, which swopt northeast
ward through tho State, barely skirting
Philadelphia, endangered many vessels on
the coast.
Traffic Is heavy and little can be done
by the Bureau of Highways except to
sprinkle ashoi, sand and sawdust on tho
Ico and thin contlng of snow. The street
surfaces are frozen too hard to permit re
moval of the snow nnd Ice.
Tho mercury reached Its lowest, 16 de
grees, nt 6:30 a. m. This mark, by the
way. Is only one degree "off" ot the
weather man's prediction for this morning.
The forecast for today Is warmer.
TO SETTLE THOMPSON ESTATE
Creditors of tho Lato "Duko of Glou
cester" to Get Dividend
The affairs of the late William J.
Thompson, who was known as tho "Duko
of Gloucester," wilt probably be settled
ln the bankruptcy courts on April 4 after
flvo years ot litigation.
S. Conrad Ott, referee In bankruptcy,
said today that a final meeting of credit
ors would be held on the dnte mentioned
In the Camden County Courthouse. A
final report In settlement of the estate
was filed a week ngo by Henry F. Stock
well, counsel for Honry J. West, trustee
In bankruptcy. At the April meeting a
final dividend aggregating 20 1-5 per
cent, will be declared.
Thompson went Into bankruptcy In
April, 1011, after filing an Involuntary
petition. He was adjudicated a bankrupt
on May 8, 1011. He died In 1014. It Is
believed that his death was due largely
to worrlment over his affairs.

Navnl Architect Here Snys In

of Realization Calls Task

DERIDES STANDARDIZING
Philadelphia naval constructors today
unhesitatingly derided the Btatement of
Thomas A. IMIson, chairman of tho Naval
Advisory Committee, that ho could build
submnrlnes within two weeks If given
men, material and a proper plant Mr.
IMIson mndo tho statement nt n meeting
of tho House Naval Affairs Commltteo In
Washington yenterdny.
Men who have devoted their lives to the
perfecting of fighting craft today called
tho remarks of Mr. Kdlsou "ridiculous."
They pointed out that no amount of
standardisation could mnko (t posslblo to
romnloto a mihmnrlno In anything Hho
tho short spneo of tlmo set by tho ln
ventor They explained tho difficulties
of making submersjblo fighting craft even
If tho materlat were stored nt hand for
tho entire vessel.
Mr. tMtson stated that ho could con
struct submarines In n fortnight It he were
given a proper laboratory. He snld ho
would nt first conntruct four or five sub
ncrilblo vessels of the best known typo
Thco vessel"!, ho snld, would bo run until
they fell to pieces By this experiment,
he asserted, ho would bo nblo to deter
mlno tho Itlenl components for vessels of
this typo. This Information In his hands,
ho stated, ho would proceed to manufac
ture tho necessary sections, giving tho
contracts to steel manufacturers through
out tho country. Tho standardized parts,
ho said, could ho Btorcd nt convenient
places nnd when tho necessity nroso the
vessels could bo assembled In tho short
tlmo mentioned,
"Mr. Kdlson known quite as well ns I
do," said William A. Dobson, naval archi
tect of tho William Cramp & Sons Ship
and Engine Building Company, and ex
pert designer of fighting craft, "that he
could not do what ho asserts. Tho task
Is utterly Impossible. Tho Idea of n
man ot his standing making such a state
ment Is utterly ridiculous.
"Kvcn If tho necessary material for a
finished submarlno wero nssemblcd In Its
entirety, no known method of construction
could succeed In making tho vessel with
in two weeks. Tho Innumerable problems
ln connection with tho construction of such
:i vessel aro too Involved to mnko such
rapid construction posslblo even under
Ideal conditions.
"I need not go Into the details of con
struction to provo tho absurdity of such a
statement as that attributed to Mr. Edi
son." Promenade Talk at Academy
