A 12-ycar-old country boy, identity as
yet unestabllshed, furnished tho clue upon
which a young woman andrco men are
being held at City Hall, and two other
men In Camden, as alleged principals and
participants In the hold-up near Atslon, N.
J., yesterday during which Henry Illder,
of Howell, Mich., waa shot dead and his
brother, Andrew Jackson Rider, of llam
monton; his niece, Mrs. Elsie Smathers,
and James Itlgby, an employe of A. J.
Rider, seriously wounded.
Captain Tate, of the Detective Bureau,
said the boy's evidence would clear up many
details of tho crime. The lad was an eye
witness of the attack upon tho Rider au
tomobile and the shooting of Its occu
pants. He noted the license tag on tho
car In which the bandits fled from the
scene of the shooting. After Jotting the
number on a scrap of paper he hailed tho
first passer-by, who happened to be Dr.
Georgo Moore, or 15 Prospect place, Tren
ton, to whom he told hts story and gave
(he llcenso number.
THONED TO POLICE
Doctor 'MooreT'ln turn, telephoned to the
police of Philadelphia and Camden, and
through tho .boy's information, the automo
bile was located, and Its owner, Frank
Vessella, nineteen years oldr 1147 outh
Eighth street, arrested.
From Vessella's statements to the police
the other arrests were made.
Millie dl Marco, nineteen years old, and
Giuseppe Rosso, twenty-two years old, of
1128 South Twelfth street, were taken into
custody at that address. The girl, the de
tectives assert, was the Instigator of the
attack, which culminated In murder, though
falling in 'its object, which was the stealing
of a pay sack containing (4000, which A. J.
Rider was conveying; to his cranberry pick
ing forces.
PRISONERS HELD
Vessella, Rosso, Millie dl Marco and
Frank Ledonne, twenty-one years old, 1162
Passyunk avenue, were arraigned this after
noon at Central Station. Detecthes Calla
han and Geonettl, who, with District Detec
tive Hcnneke, mado the arrest, were the
only witnesses.
Magistrate Pennock committed the girl
and the three men without ball to awlat
extradltlop., A. D. G. Davis represented
the prlsonors, but asked no questions. The
hearing room was crowded, many neighbors
of the persona under arrest attending the
brief proceedings.
Fugitive warrants charging murder were
sworn out before Justice of tho Peace Her
man Hellbron, of Burlington County. Pros
ecutor Kelsey has gone to Trenton to nr,
range for the extradition of the prisoners.
Detective Ellis Parker, of Mount Holly,
told Captain Tate today that he could pro
duce three, witnesses who would Identify

By A. MERRITT TAYLOR
During the campaign for adequate transit
facilities, with free transfers, In Philadel
phia, I attended scores of mass meetings
throughout the city and called upon th
cltlienu to support my efforts In their be
half, and at theso meetings and In other
public statements I gave my pledgo to th
people that In return for their support I
would stand by them to the flnlth. There
fore, with deep feeling of publlo duty, and
In response to numerous requests received
from tho newspapers and from citizens of
Philadelphia, It becomes my duty to ex
press my views with relation to tho present
crisis which confronts the city and the cltl
sens in respect to transit development
hence I must make the following statement:
On May 27, lo, after many prolonged
conferences between the representative of
tho city, consisting of A. M. Taylor, p. W.
Norrls and F". R. Ford, nnd the representa
tives of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company, E. T Stotesbury, T. E. Mitten,
president; A. E. Newbold and II, Q. Lloyd,
a tentative agreement was concluded by th
Dlrectorcof the Department of City Transit
and tho oMlcers of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company. All at the parties te
(line conferences pledged tlietr beit effort
In Iibto tliU agreement ratified. This tenta-
tlvo ngreemen provided for the construc
tion of subway and elevated lines and ex
tensions thereof by tho city, and for th
equipment and operation thereof by th
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company.
PROVIDE FRED TRANSFER SYSTEM
This tentative agreement for the equip
ment and operation of the city-owned high
speed lines by the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company also provided for th
elimination of tho discriminatory' exchange
ticket (by n. process which afforded, protec
tion to the net Income of the companies),
il provided f.or the adoption of a compre
hensive free transfer system throughout
the city, ond.protected the Company's exist
ing net Income against loss resultant from
tho establishment of the city-owned high
speed lines. It also properly safeguarded
tho Interests of the city and of tho com
pany in all other respects.
Later this tentative agreement was com
municated to the directors of the Philadel
phia Rapid Transit Company by Messrs.
Horatio O. Lloyd and Thomas E. 'Mitten,
with a letter signed by them which read aa
follows:
Onbehalf of E. T. Stotesbury nnd
ourselves we present herewith -outline of
a plan of 'rapid transit development by
the city and the company, which has
been formulated after extended confer
ences with the representatives of th
city administration and city Councils.
In the opinion of all of us, it will
give the citizens the fullest opportunity
of enjoying tho very largo Investment
to bo made by tho city and the company
In the new development and at the same
time offer a just and fair solution of
tho problems which the changed condi
tions of travel will present.
As the Union Traction Company is In
terested In the matter, and as its co
operation Is essential, we recommend
that a committee be appointed to take
up the questions with a like commit
tee of the Union Traction Company,
The tentative agreement was published
broadly throughout the city by the news
papers and In pamphlet form; numerous
publlo meetings were held In nearly every
ward, and Its terms were freely and openly
debated, discussed and approved.
As a result of further conferences held '
while the application of the city for a cer
tificate of publlo convenience was under
consideration by the Publlo Service Com
mission, certain suggestions relating to
modification of the 1914 agreement were
made. The director of the department sign!-
