Me, and the committeemen and workers of

It seems to me that the fundamental

one of creal achievement When tne men

that system.
Tho Progressives who aro flocking Into

PIATFOItM TO IKDOIISB WIIJION
The platform will be adopted at this aft
rnoon'n session.
It will contain a strong; Indorsement of
President Wilson's Administration and ap
proval of the'Vork of Governor Klelder. The
State road problem. It waa raid, would be
an Important plank In the platform. The
Democrats state that thin problem la now
one of the ulffRest confronting the State, and
to meet It they will provide In tholr plat
form for an adequate highway system ami
a comprehensive State patrol system. It Is
a lo known that municipal finance will be
touched upon and that a uniform system
for all cttlra will 'bo advocated In the plat
form. Another plank will pledge the party's
r candidate for Governor to an efllclent ad
ministration of .State business.

ACTOR'S TRUNK AND CASE OF EGGS
MEET IN HAUNTS OF STOLEN GOODS
Thespian Glad to Get His Baggage Back, but Makes a
Face at Hen Fruit, Ancient Enemy of "the Profession."
Express Driver Held for Failing to Deliver
Clifton Crawford sat on a crate of eggs
In lh Kleventh and Winter street m1Ico
station. He looked tired und bored. Of
course, no actor enree lo bo In such close
proximity to eggs, especially a crate of
them, but Mr Crowfnrd was not In tho least
nervous It eeerna that he whs obliged to
Jump out of bed earlier than ueual to ny
clnlm to a trunk Mhlch hnil been stolen
while enroute to his rooms ul the I'.ltx
C'arlton. The trunk disappeared mysteriously from
tho Adams IJxpres Company's oilier and
was subsequently found In a room in u
boarding house at liOC Arch street.
When tho trunk vanished, Kpcclul Agent
I'ctry, of the Adams Company, suspected
that Jack Wllron, a driver, who had been
under suspicion, might liac been nin
netted with the trunk'a disappearance.
I'ctry disguised hlmielf as an agent of the
Hoard of Health and was permitted to
scorch every room In tho Arch street house
He found the nctor's trunk in n room
occupied by a Mrs Warren, which room
was directly under that of Wilson. The
trunk bore n tag with the name of Mrs.
Warren, but painted on one end of the bag
gage was the name of Mr. Crawford. He
side the trunk was a crate of eggs. Petry
took the trunk mid also arrested the eggs
on general principles. Ho sent both lo the
station house and then routed Mr. Craw
ford out of bed about seven hours earlier
than Ills usual time.
Wilson and Mrs Warren were brought
before Maglrtrnto Collins, while Crawford
yawned at tbenf. from the egg box. He
didn't show the slightest interest In the
proceedings He claimed the trunk, but
promptly disowned the eggs, whoso resi
dence as yet has not been learned. Wilson
admitted the theft of the trunk nnd was
held In J1000 ball for n further hearing
Mrs Warren wan held In $600 ball,
"It's loo bad that the law has to get up
so early In the morning," said Crawford.
He alio expressed regret that there was
such a fuss about the matter.

PARSONS HERE TODAY .
TO CONFER ON TRANSIT
Continued from Tsse fine

Tl iU It waa considerably under 0,000.

Iliuii & Davis, of New York, under tlm
Illanenburg administration for engineer

In spite of the repeated assertions of
Mayer Hmjth that lie will permit no changes
In the Taylor plan, It Is rumored that soma
radical changes will bo discussed ut the
confeence today. Just what changes are
-rrer contemplation, howeter. cannot be
leurned.
Any change In the Taylor plan 1t ,!.
known, will be met byvlgoroue opposition
by the numerous business organizations
which led the long fight for Its adoption.
Considerable opposition is developing among
these same organizations to the employ
ment of an outsldo expert when there aro
engineers of acknowledged ability In this
city.
Tho letter from tho Chamber of Com
merce recommending to the Mayor the
selection of Mr. Parsons has caused a tur
moil In that organization. The letter. It
has been established, was sent without any
authorization from the board of directors
or from the executive committee, und for
this reason It Is rumored that nt their first
meeting this month the board of directors
will bn asked to repudiate! the action of
President Frencli in sending the letter.
ni:w oiuKcrioN offi:hi:d
It has been set forth that thero cannot
be any operation of new llres except upon
terms which have first been submitted lo
the Philadelphia Itapld Transit Company.
Tho agreement between tho city and the
company, known na tho agreement of 1007,
was cited as authority for this obligation
upon tho part or the rlty.
Michael J. ltyan, thon City Solicitor, on
May 11, 1016, furnished an opinion to A
Merrltt Taylor, Director of the Depurtinent
of City Transit, which Is on record.
Tills opinion Indicates that tha City of
Philadelphia is not bound by the 1A07 coi
tract with (he Philadelphia llnpld Transit
Company to llrst offer any subway and
elevated lines proposed to be hullt by the
city to the Philadelphia llnpld Transit Com
pany, and It clearly Indlcut s that t io city
is not "beholden unto the Philadelphia
Itapld Transit Company in this respect."
The opinion of City .Solicitor llynn was
rendered In response to ft letter addressed
to him by the then Director of City Transit
A. Merrltt Talor.
In his opinion, the City Solicitor nays In
part
"You ask:
"First. Is the city obligated to offer the
Philadelphia Itapld Transit Company the
right to build tho Fro nl ford eleuted line,
ns provided In Aitlcle 3, of the Contract of
190T. boforo undertaking the construction
thereof as municipality?"
"I answer' 'When tho ordinance and
contract of t07 were panned and executed,
tho city was without tho power to build
subways, elevated rallu-a)s, or other lines
of transportation, and such ordlnunco and
contract were drawn with that fact neces.
sarily In view. Ir Section 7 thereof the
Philadelphia Itapld Tratmlt Company sur
rendered Its right to build a subway In
Ilroad street, and Its right to construct tho
Frankford Elevated Hallway was confirmed,
the time for the building thereof being ex
tended to three years from June 1, lt07.
That period has expired and the Inde
pendent right of the transit company to
build the Frankford elevated line has,
therefore, lapsed."
" These provisions clearly Indicate
that the right to construct new lines, which
i
It waa Intended by the 1907 ogreement the
city wai to barter away. Is manifestly
only the right which the city at that time
ossessed, namely, the right to have lines
of railway built by companies possessing
the charter powers to construct them, and,
of course, could not relate to lines which
the city might Itself hulld. for at that time
it had no legal authority so to do.
"lly luter legislation, that Is to say
tho Act of June 17, 1913 p j,. 50). a
plenarj power .ns rsttd in cities of the
first class to purchase, locate, construct and
equip, or otherwise ncqulro transit facilities
and to own. maintain, una and operate the
same within their corporate limits nnd
within" the limits r.f ' oiljacent cities,
boroughs and townships. This power It
separate and independent from that which
existed In 1507 ond relates to tho con
struction tfr other acquisition of transit
facilities by tho city nnd municipality.
When the city, thcrefoie, determines to
take .idvuntage of the Act of 1913 nnd to
build and operate railway lines of nny
character. Its power to do Ho Is unrestricted
olid it In not obliged to offer tho option to
the Philadelphia Itapld Transit Company
before It shall Itself proceed with the
undertaking."
