in Alleged Car Strike
NUMBERS of striking carmen re

houses and junction points reduced
by half.
Superintendent of Police Robin
son, after tour of barns, declares
there never really was a strike.
President Flynn, of tho Amalga
mated Union, and National Organ
izer Shea still maintain that striko
will materialize.
Numerous desertions in- the ranks of tlie
trolley strikers today by motormen and con
ductors who returned voluntarily to their
respective carbarns gave tha trolleymen's
walk-out tho appearance of a lost cause.
Superintendent of Police Robinson, after
a tour of the various carbarns, ordered the
police guard at the barns, tho power plants
and the Important trolley junction points
reduced by one-half on account of tha In
creasing evidence that the strike is a failure.
"There never really was a strike. It's
all a flivver," was the terea comment of
Robinson when ha returned from his in
spection tour.
At the Eleventh and Lucerne streets
barn, where 64 ,bf the 1140 employes obeyed
the order to strike, more than a score re
turned today and asked M. L. Gordon, di
vision superintendent, to have them rein
stated. At the Richmond barn two of tha 12
strlke'rs returned ana applied to William P.
Cornell, division, superintendent, for rein
statement, and .at several other barns one
or more of the mtn formally asked to be

Up to the present time none of the men

"NO VACANCIES."
In eaph case the district superintendents

A. Cotti, 10 months old, of 309 Col
lom street, died at noon today from
infantile paralysis. Ills Is the twenty
fifth death since the outbreak of the
epidemic
Coincident with the prescribing and ob
servance of a rigid quarantine at all rall
rond and ferry stations nnd highway ap
proaches to tho city, Philadelphia today
passed the 100th mark In tho number of
Infantile paralysis cases reported since
January 1. The 100th case was that of
Benjamin Locb, 3 years old, of 516 Plka
street, which is located In the Forty-third
Ward. The 101st case is that of A. CotU,
3'j years old, of 309 Collom street. His Is
the fifteenth caso reported In the last 24
hours. t
More than 1000-lnspectors are at work. In
an effort to, keep from tho State children
coming from New'Vork, New. Jersey, Dela--wae
or Maryland.-.- --.--
So effective has this quarantine become
that more than 200 Cnmdcn schoolboys who
work during tho summer months In this city
were turned back to Now Jersey this morn
ing after they had come to the. Philadelphia
side of the river, tho guards having dis
covered that these had no health certificates
showing them free of 'infantile paralysis
germs.
The vigilance of tho inspectors has been
Increased because of the 6 deaths' and IB
new cases reported here In the last 24
hours. Thus far today no deaths have
occurred. A woman of 41 years, Mrs. Debra
Clark, of 3439 Klpp Btreet, Is one of tha
last victims of the disease, and her case
Is puzzling physicians of the city, Chief
Medical Inspector Cairns declaring that he
had never before heard of the disease at
tacking any one of that comparatively ad
vanced age.
Mrs. Clark's affliction presents .another
phase of the quarantine, Inasmuch as now
only !hlldren under 16 years of age are
being barred from the city, whereas this
Instance shows again that persons above
that age not only can carry the germs, but
can fall victims to .them.
In an effort to 'meet the requirements
prescribed by the Philadelphia quarantine.
the Camden Board of Health remained In
session until midnight, and Issued approxi
mately 1000 certificate's, The boys turned
back this morning went to the Board of
Trade rooms, searching for Dr, J. F. Leavltt.
who was called upon to Issue papers neces
sary to their admittance to Philadelphia.
The quarantine has angered these boys.
Inasmuch as when turned back they had to
pay 3 cents additional for their transpor
tation to Camden.
CHILDREN IN TEARS.
Hundreds of children tearfully pleaded
with inspectors stationed at the ferry houses
on the Philadelphia side of the Delaware
River at Market, Chestnut, Vine and South
streets.
Many of the youngsters apparently were
not aware that a quarantine was in force.
