Convincing arguments that West (Phila

ment loan bill were laid beforo tho votors
of tho 0th Ward last night by former

Imperial Theatr.0, 60lh street bolow Wal
nut. (Moro than 3000 men and women who

when Mr. Taylor asked all who would
support tho loans to stand. When Mr
Taylor began to speak somo one shouted,
"Our next Mayor." The Mayor made a
plea to drlvo the political obstructionists
out of town on election day.
The former Transit Director declared
that this Is the greatest crisis In the city's
history. "We are hero," ho said, "to de
fend ourselves nnd our city Philadelphia
must go backward or forward. We are
here to make It go forward.

"It provides that when you rldo Into tho
bUBlnesa district on a high-speed line, and
wish to travel either Into North or South
Philadelphia on a surface line, you v.111
be able to do so on a free transfer In
stead of being required to pay 10 cents In

j With this emphatic declaration Former

transit fight, Mr. Taylor continued:
"I appeal to you In your own Interest
to roll up a magnificent majority for the
transit and port loan bill and for the con
struction of the high-speed lines, which
will add so much to your comfort and con
venience, which will enable you to save
much time and money, and which will
enable the city to expand and, deolop
along proper lines.
"Here, are the facts that fully Justify
the effort which I am making; In your
behalf, and they should Impel you to go
to work forthwith as Individuals among
your friends and neighbors In your own
Interest:
"More than 717.700 people live north of
Callowhtll s(reet, between B street on the
east and the Schuylkill River on the west.
"On an average, 610,000 passengers
travel out of, Into and within your north
ern section of the city every day on the
street cars.
"Of these passengers 331,000 travel dally
between your northern section and the
central .business district,
"Six hundred and sixteen thousand
travel dally between your northern sec
tion and South Philadelphia.
"Forty thousand trael dally between
4your northern section and West Philadel
phia. "Fifty-eight thousand travel dally be
tween your northern section and the
northeast section.
"Two hundred and twenty-nine thou
sand travel dally within your northern
section.
"Upon the completion of the Broad
street subway, with a branch to Main
street and Chelten avenue In Qermantown
and another branch out the Northeast
Boulevard, and upon the completion of
the other bleb-speed lines specified In the
transit and port loan bill, passengers trav
eling into, out of and within your north
ern section will be, enabled to save 4,389.
618 hours per year. This time you will
save, calculated at 16c per hour, would
be worth K89.000 per year
"You should all be aware of the fact
that a tentative agreement was reached
between the officials of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company on the one part,
subject to ratification by the Union Trac
tion Company and by tho Director of the
Department of City Transit pn the other

BRITISH CALL TO ARMS
VAIN HERE, SAYS CONSUL
Believes Mandate to Eligibles
Abroad Cannot Be
Enforced
"I have not received hny ofnclnl notifi
cation in referenco to tho dispatch from
London published tn this morning's papers,
stating that 'all married Englishmen el
igible for military service, who aro liv
ing abroad, nnd who ordinarily are resi
dents of Great Britain, must return to
England forthwith and report fop military
duty.' " So said Hugh A. Ford, Acting
Consul General for Great Britain, at his
office In the Drexcl Building
Tho announcement was made In the
House of Commons yesterday by Sir
Georgo Cave, the Solicitor General
"In the absence of any explicit Infor
mation or instructions on tho matter."
said Mr Ford, "my personal opinion Is
that such an order cannot be enforced, and
I believe It applies only to such subjects
of Great Britain ns formerly served In
the army In the United Kingdom and are
now residents In the Allied countries "
"There are," he continued, "more than
60,000 non-naturalized British subjects In
Philadelphia, counting both men and
women. Many of these nro working In
the lace mills, carpet mills and other tex
tile works in the Frnnkford and Kensing
ton districts.
There are similar colonies all over the
State, in Pittsburgh, in Heading, Altoona,
Erie, eta, but I have no Idea what the
total Is, and can only make a mental ap
proximation from the number In Philadel
phia."
According to Mr. Ford, natives of Great
Britain are not In any hurry to get nat
uralized In the United States, and one fre
quently meets men who left England 30
and 40 years ago who have not even
taken out their first papers. Their chil
dren, however, born here, said Mr, Ford,.
are gooa American citizens.
When asked how many Englishmen In
Philadelphia responded when the war
started, Mr. Ford said not more than 100,
and most of them were army reserve men.

Chinatown Is sad
Tho Orientals are mourning the loss
of their "grand old man," Simon Lum
gun, who died today
Old Lumgun, whoso age is not known,
for It was whispered here and there that
he was anywhere from 70 to 150 years
old, was found dead In his quaint room
at 930 Race street
Lumgun was strictly a member of the
old guard. Ho dressed In the old fashion,
boasted that ha never wore a "whlto man's
collar," and looked with disgust upon those
that did Furthermore he never cut off
his queue, ns nearly all of the Celestials
have done since the movement to become
"Mellcanlzed" struck the settlement.
He kept his queue Intact and wns proud
of It He was a favorite of the street,
and In his last days for he had been sick
for thr.ee weeks his neighbors used to
como in and food him In exchange for
thjlr klnd4nesa Lumgun would entertain
them with tales of Chinatown ns it was
111 tho old das how ho ran his opium dm
under the open protection of tho police,
and how he made his wealth out of It,
But there was a story Simon would
never tell, -and that was about his wife,
whom he left,back In China when he came
to America as a young man to soek a for
tune. The immigration authorities stopped
her entrance, with her children.
Years later Simon returned a rich man
to China to bring his love back, but he
was again stopped and told that his wife
could not enter Three trips In all were
made by Simon, but each time his wife
was prevented from accompanying him.
It is said by the nodding, celestials that
grief, caused by the separation from his
wife, as weir as old age and the opium
habit, caused hUt death.

Samuel P Itotan. District Attorney,
City Hall, Plilla
Dear Sir Ab you nro well nvvare,
wo tre approaching a primary election
In which great issues nro ni sumo m
tho cltj, Stato and nation In view
of tho Important questions Involved,
and the bitterness of tho contest In
somo sections of tho city, it seems
tn us mnio tlinn ordinarily necessary
that the District Attorney should nt
this time give a clear statement of tho
laws governing tho election, and tho
penalties provided for tho violation of
theso Btntutcs, with especial referenco
to thoo points set forth In the suc
ceeding paragraphs
Tho Committee of Soventy consistently
hns maintained that every facility of tho
law should bo used to prevent Illegal ns
slstnnco to voters, which is n plain viola
tion of tho primary election act
This commltteo is Informed that In cer
tain wards the practice heretofore has
been to totally dlsregnrd tho requirements
of this law-, and to allow wholesale ns
slstnnco to votors without tho taking of
tho necessary nllldav Its
Wo nro further Informed that tho In
variable excuse of tho lection boards
'has been that hey had not received"
n sufficient quantity of such affidavits
from tho County Commlsloners.
ROTAN ASKED TO ACT.
In view of theso facts, we nsk you
to advise this committee, nnd In do
ing so Inform the general public, of
the penalties provided for tho viola
tion of tho s.ild primary election act.
We might suggest, nlso, that thlB Is
an npproprlato tlmo for tho public
prosecutor to ndvlso tho Count Com
mlbioners of? their responsibilities In
thlB connection, nnd of tho obligations
imposed upon them by stntute to enrry
out their part of the enforcement of
tho election laws
Complaints also havo been numerous In
former ars that an Insufficient number
of tho proper bnllot boxes Havo been pro
vided In a great many divisions, nnd tint
ns n result many ballots in such divisions
havo to be deposited In open receptacles,
thereby defeating tho law's design to
maintain the secrecy of tho bnllot.
We are further Informed thnt In many
election districts throughout the city au
thorized election oinclals havo tcfused to
recognize tho watchor's certificates of
minority roprosecntntlves or watchers on
snld boards, or around such polling
places, nnd wo would like you to rclato
the law upon that subject and to place
tho responsibility for such recognition of
said credentials, nnd to put forth tho pen
alty for such violation of tho provisions
of tho election laws
It Is our understanding that the at
tempted Intlmldntlon of voters by police
men In uniform, city olllco holders and
others, is a violation of tho net, and wo
should bo glad to havo you include In your
answer a statoment of tho law on this
subject and tho penalties provided for
violation thereof.

A bureau chief In tho Department of
