HAVE figured out the cost of wiring this

tentedly, "and it took me only about fifteen
minutes to do it."
'I took the Philadelphia Electric Company's little chart of unit
prices for wiring and opposite the names of the rooms I simply
checked the kind of outlet I thought would be required in each
case. Then, after I had specified the lighting outlets and the base
board outlets for the electric iron, washing machine and sweeper
I intend to have, I just added up and arrived at my total cost
"for wiring $63.34, Simple, isn't it?"
"And, having so easily figured the wiring cost, I thought I might
just as well pick out the lighting fixtures and thus save a hot trip
into town to make selections. So, from this booklet the company
sent me, I selected the fixtures I thought uitable for our needs,
added up the prices and found that for $59,30 my house would
have exceedingly attractive and unusual lighting fixtures."
"Then I looked up the easy payment plan, and saw that I could
divide the $63.34 wiring cost into twelve or twenty-four monthly
payment!, and the $59.30 for the fixtures into six payments
certainty an exceptionally convenient method of payment."

A BIG BREEZE - LITTLE MONEY
MANY CHARTER TYPES IN
PLANS OF COMMITTEE
City Manager System Not the
Only Method Considered, T.
R. White Announces
The tentative draft of a new city charter
submitted to a subcommittee of the Gen
eral Committee on tho Ilcvlslon of tho City
Charter yesterday b'y Clinton Itogers Wood
ruff", former chairman of the Hoard of
Tteglstratlon Commlsloncra and secretary of
the National Municipal League, Is not tho
only bill to bo considered. Thomas Itac
burn White, member of the subcommittee,
announced today that other proposed char
ters would bo drafted hnd that after all
havo been carefully considered public dis
cussion of tho different plans would bo In
vited. The subcommittee took no action on tho
tentntlvo draft as submitted, nnd In n
statement nnnoiiticed that It would study
It carefully. It also Invited discussion
of the general propositions advanced from
any or all citizens Interested In tho move
ment to change tho llulllit bill nnd make
tho city government moro up to date.
The subcommittee, which met and which
received Mr. Woodruff's proposal, ono based
on a model charter prepared by tho Na
tional Municipal League, was appointed a
shott time ago by John C. Winston, chair
man of the rlcneral Committee on the He
vision of the City Charter. Tho subcom
mittee was to preparo drafts of any change
or changes to bo proposed In tho present
Bullitt bill. The point seemingly empha
sized In tho nanio of tho commltteo la "Ho
vision of tho City Charter." Mr. Woodruff
ofTercd a completely new charter. It Is
believed that his proposal, going so far
bejond tho Bcopo indicated by the namo
of the committee, led to much discussion
In tho meeting nnd finally to the halting
of tho plan to publish tho copy of tho
charter. And, further, to tho announce
ment that tho copy had "not even been
tentatively npproved."
In political circles It was understood
tho diplomacy of Mr. Whlto and tho com
mlttco In general was prompted by a do
Rlro on their part to remove any Idea
that tho Commltteo on Revision might bo
distinctly antagonistic to the present city
administration. In fact, tho general com
mittee, of which Mr. Winston Is chair
man, has Indicated to tho Mayor Its dcslro
to work in harmony with him for tho pub
lic good nnd In a campaign of education.

ASHBRIDGE, BRAVADO
GONE, REFUSES FOOD
Captured Murderer and Jail
breaker Realizes Position.
Wife Cheerful
For the first tlmo since being captured,
Wilson Ashbrldgo, murderer and Jail
breaker, awoke In tho Cnmdon County Jail
today with tho realization of what was
facing him. Ho refused to eat the prison
fare vhlch was brought to him by a keeper
nl breakfast hour. His bravado, according
to Sheriff Joshua C. Haines, has completely
vanished.
Mrs. Mnrlan Ashbrldge, tho 22-ycar-otd
wife of Ashbrldge, who supplied him with
a revolver, seemed to be In better spirits
today In hcV celt nt the City Hall. In Cam
den, than yesterday. She ate a hearty sup
per last evening nnd also enjoyed her
breakfast this morning. When told that
her two children wero being well cared for,
sho expressed gratification.
No clue as to the whereabout of Oeorga
13. Thompson, disbarred lawyer and forger,
who escaped with Ashbrldge, after murder
ing a Jailor and wounding a turnkey last
Monday evening, has been obtained.
Another batch of circulars bearing
Thompson's photograph and his dccrlptlon
wero sent broadcast today by nttarhes of
Prosecutor Kraft'a oHlce. These circulars
were mailed to hundreds of cities, towns
and villages. Prosecutor Kraft today ex
pressed the opinion that Thompson would
surely bo captured.
Turnkey Kills, who Is still at tho Cooper
Hospital, was reported today to bo doing
nicely.
Isaao Hlbbs, tho murdered Jailor, was
hurled this morning, from his home, 913
S,6uth Sth street, Camden. Simple cere
monies marked tho funeral. Interment was
at Langhorne, Pa. Ho was burled In a
grave next to that of hla son, a fireman,
who wan murdered bIx years ago by a negro
