TRADE OVERRUNS
MUNICIPAL PIERS
AS FAST AS BUILT
No. 16, Leased One Week,
Carries 8000 Tons
of Freight
BIG 1LANS FOR FUTURE
Director Webster Declares City
Doesn't "Blow" Enough
on Progress
Flintngrnpliii UliKtrntlng till' article on
pletornl pne.
l
Tho Impetus Riven to shipping by the
recent leaning of municipal pier No. 16 a
week ago, has Indicated In a striking
manner the, value of harbor development
for Philadelphia. In seven days after the
pier was leased to the Pennsylvania Rail
road, It carried 8000 tons of merchandise
and was loading n 3400-ton steamship.
Every Indication points to a future activity
which will result In tho storage on tho
pier being maintained nt this maximum
figure.
"It Is curiously true," today said Di
rector George S. Webster, uf the Depart
rrient of Wharves, Dock mid Ferries, "that
ire Phlladelphlans seem to bo unaware of
tho Immense value-of tho Improvements
.being made In this city. We do not np
pear to realize the Importance of tho lat
est municipal plans for development.
Other cities would boast of the same
activity until the whole country heard
of Its remarkable achievements, but Phil
adelphia has not appeared to grasp the
value of systematic advertising of Its ad
vantages. HAMBURG'S GROWTH CITED.
"The development of the river front Il
lustrates In a. striking manner the vntue
of municipal Improvements. Philadelphia
, has recently lensed pier No. 16 to the
, Pennsylvania Railroad at n yearly rental
of $20,000. This sum represents approx
imately 4 per cent, of tho construction
cost of tho pier. That In Itself Is worthy
of notice,
"Tho city of Hamburg. Germany. In the
year preceding tho outbreak of the Euro
pean war, with a foreign commerce of $1,
060,000.000, expended In harbor Improve-
ments, $110,000,000. The annual port rev
enues of that city were $l,."00,00l), or 1.3
per cent.
"The latest piers constructed by Phila
delphia, Nos. 16, 3S and -10 South, are
bringing Into the City Treasury a yearly
return of 4 per cent on tho construction
costs. Nor Is this all. KInco they havo
been leased they havo constantly been
filled with freight amounting In tho caso
of the two later piers, of 40,000 tons. This
merchandise and food has been contin
ually moving. What this means to the
greater development of the business of
this port I need hardly mention.
"It Is Impossible to estimate the valuo
of these piers as the distributing centre
of freight. Millions of dollars of all kinds
of commodities are passing through them
yearly This circulation of freight repre
sents In the civic development very much
what tho circulation of blood means to
the development of tho human body. Its
valuo cannot bo easily overestimated.
'The necessity for good piers Is Illus
trated by the rapidity with which plor
No. 16 became a point of great activity.
About a week ngo this pier was leased
9. tno Pennsylvania Ilaljrond. Immedi
ately It became active. Today it Is loaded
with approximately 8000 tons of freight
awaiting tho vessels In which It1ls"to be
transported. Yesterday tho Fukoko Maru,
a. Jnpnneso steamship of 3420 net' tons,
docked there, and is now loading. In the
meantime, every space left vacant by tho
removal of tho ship's cargo Is being ptjed
-high with new freight for future ship
ment "Philadelphia's harbor developments
are grently needed. We could use toduy
,eery available spare for new piers. Tills
department hopes to obtain sufficient
funds In the new loan bill to erect piers
along the entire river front from South
wark to Brldesburg Tho locations In
Which they will ba built are between Race
and Arch BlrggSr. the Southwark section,
tor which orre more pier will be added;
Kensington, by the enlargement of Penn
Treaty Park: Allegheny avenue, Bridge
street, and at another point to be pur
- -chased in the central section of the city.
HEADY FOB NEW TRADE.
"Every pier erected or to be erected In
this city will be utilized to the maximum.
The recently leased pier. No. 16, Is rented
by the month. When conditions become
more nearly normal in shipping and new
lines come to this port, they will find
Philadelphia's municipal piers at their
disposal,
"Tha erection of municipal piers here
meatus benefits In every direction. Not
alone are they paying Investments, but
thqy are feeders to commerce, which Is
the, basis of national prosperity. For
tfjjs reason they are being constructed
and maintained. Philadelphia should feel
proud of her harbor Improvements and
should speak to the world in no uncertain
tones of her advantages."
MCHMOXD CASE UP IN MAY
Chancellor Budd Consolidates Present

maining' presentments against the Rev

NAVY LEAGUE HEARS
STIRRING PLEAS FOR
NATIONAL DEFENSE
Secretary Daniels Sharply Crit
icised by Representative Gard
ner for "Hoodwinking" the
American People
CONGRESS MISINFORMED
WASHINGTON, April 11. Condemna
tion of Secretary Daniels f6r "hoodwink
ing tho American people as to tho two
condition of tho navy tit n time when the
people were nntloun to know tho truth,"
wns voiced by Representative Gnrdncr,
of Massachusetts, who tpoko nt this morn
ing's session of tho Navy League, conven
tion on "Why Congress Is Reluctant to
Develop tho Navy."
"Secretary Daniels Is not the fit nt
Secretary who has failed to enlighten tho
American people as to the true condition
of the navy," Gardner said. "Tho present
Secretary has first hoodwinked himself
and then painted for us a detectable
picture nt tho very time when what we
wnnted was tho unvarnished facts. That
Is why Daniels exasperates us whlto his
predecessors only tickled our national
vanity."
"Dcslro to defend tho Treasury," he
snld, "procrastination, Ignorance of tho
facts, reluctance to Incur abuse and the
Indifference of the public all tlieso rac
tors had played their parts In causing
our neglect of the navy- Hut hero was a
war raging in Europe, hero were spares,
falling all around us, here wns tho press
tiuestlonlng the adequacy of our navy.
Congress assembled, Secretary Daniels
reported tho navy In n superb statu of
effectiveness, adequately manned and
thoroughly prepated The President an
nounced to Congress that the rountry
had been misinformed, that our defenso
had not been neglected and that there
was no new need to discuss tho question
of the nation's armament.
"I nsk you In nil fairness, In the face
of those assurances from tho men to
whom the people had Intrusted the duty
of Informing us of tho state of the nation
can you blame Congress for the passage
of the pitiful navy bill or 11)167"
The Rev. fir Charles A Richmond,
president of Union College, Schenectady,
N. Y . denied that In urging proper pre
paredness for the task of protecting Its
Inheritance of democracy, which the
United States might be called upon to per
form, then- was nny Idea of militarism,
which he said iiih "iihhnrrt'til to blm as It
Is to every right-minded American." He
decried both the paclllht who would have
the United States disarm nt once and
also the "ilre-cater who would have, every
schoolboy como. to school with a knap
sack on his shoulder and a gun in Ills
hand.' '
Ynlo men responded In no uncertain
tones to the question of preparedness, and
their prompt response may be taken as
representative of the sentiment of the
country on this subject, declared Geoigo
Parmly Day, treasurer of Yale University.
He told how more than 900 Ynlo students
came forward within the first week to
join the battery, although, owing to luck
id equipment, the number enlisted had to
be limited to 48C; but four batteries were
formed Instead of ono as originally plan
ned. J. Bernard Walker, of New York,
editor-in-chief of tho Scientific American,
declared that "no great power In tho
world has promulgated a line of Interna
tional policies so fraught with possibil
ities of contlict as our own." and added:
"Tho struggle for tho enforcement of
the Monroe Doctrine, the neutrality of the
Panama Canal, Asiatic exclusion, or the
integrity of China, will take place upon
tho high seas, and the situation Is such
that in tho event of war, today or to
morrow, we should Mini ourselves In the
precarious position of having to defend
Ilrst-clahs policies with a third-class
navy."

GRINNING VILLA SHOT
AS HE SEIZED PRETTY
SENORITA, SAYS STORY
Frenzied Father Wounded 'Ter

Say Passengers From
South
GIRL SAW PARENT DIE
Nf. PASO. Tex., April H. Further
ronflrmnllon of reports that Pancho Villa
Is wounded Wns brought to nrmy head
quarters today. And with It camo ono
of tho blackest stories uf the bandit's
escapades yet told. It concerns the kill
ings nt Mlnaca. Tho version ns brought
to official headquarters hero by passengers
from Chihuahua follows:
Pancho Villa, fresh from his easy vic
tory ut Guerero, descended on Mlnaca In
n gay mood. Ho swaggered Into town nt
tho head of his Dorados (golden ones),
gleeful nt the memory of how ho had
forced General Cnvazos and his staff to
leap from a dance hall window nnd flee
before his nttack.
Sympathizers told him that fresh
mounts wcro to ho had at the stables of
George Locke, n horso dealer. They wero
badly needed. With n few of his men.
Villa went to tho stables, to find Locke
bad fled nnd his buildings In charge
of his coachman, Andrens Hehaza, In n
nearby ndoho hut was Rchnza's pretty
young daughter, Adellta.
Rrhaza, a big broad-shouldered fellow,
stood in tho doorway us Villa nppronched,
barring tho way.
"Do not fear, amlgo," grinned Villa.
"Wo kill only grlngoes nnd falso ones.
Why do you bar tho door?"
At this moment. Adollta, her girlish
curiosity overcoming her fear of the
famous Pancho Villa, peeped around tho
corner. Villa saw tho frightened black
eyes of tho girl. Once moro ho grinned.
Then ho strode away.
Within nn hour hn returned, accom
panied by two of his "golden ones,"
Again Itahnza barred the door.
"Andreas Rehaza, you havo beon falso
to I'nncho Villa," ho snarled. "You nro
withholding from him trensuro that should
bo his,"
"No, ml goncrnlo," ho cried, "thero Is no
treasuro In my poor houso but that which
God has given mo to cherish."
Villa turned to his men. Ho gave a
slgnnl. They sprang on tho big coach
man nnd pulled him from tho doorwav.
Villa, still grinning, entered tho room.
Adellta screamed.
"Now wc shall sco how traitors arc
punished," cried Villa ns he roappeaied,
dragging tho screaming girl by the arm.
Tho screams of the daughter drove
Rehaza Into n frenzy of rage. Villa stood
by grinning as the threo men struggled.
With n seemingly superhuman effort.
Rehaza fought ono arm free. His hand
clutched a gun from tho holster of ono of
his tormentors. He leveled It nt tho still
smiling Villa. Just as ho pulled the
trigger, ono of his antagonlstf struck his
arm downward nnd tho bullet clipped
