PROPOSALS FOR HIGH SPEED

ACCORDING TO 1914. SCHEME
Former Director Declares Public Is Fully
Protected, in Draft Submitted by
Smith Two Defects, Which
Can Be Corrected, Cited
MAYORS TRANSIT LEASE PLANS
APPROVED BY FORMER DIRECTOR
"FORMER Transit Director, after enrcful nnalysis, gives his full approvnl to
j- draft of the transit lease, as contained in the ordinance introduced in
Councils yesterday.
Two minor features which probably result from lccal technicalities, but
which should be corrected later, are pointed out by Mr. Taylor.
These are: ,
ITho fatluro to provide for the Camden tube;
2 The failure to provide for continuing tho Darby
e elevated beyond tho city line into Darby.
The proposed contract, in tho opinion of Mr. Taylor, adequately protects
the city and the traveling public, and should therefore receive tho immediate
and aggressive support of public-spirited Philadelphians.
BROOKLYN FANS
WON'T TURN OUT
TO SEE CHAMPS
Ebbets Didn't Make Hit
When He Advanced the
Price jof Grandstand
Seats
7000 EMPTY SEATS
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
EDDBTS FIELD, Brooklyn, N. V Oct.
11. Brooklyn has waited many years
to see a championship team In action and
then when that team gets a chance to dis
play in a world's series fracas, the residents
of the rubber plant district fall to turn out.
There were 10,000 empty seats yesterday;
there were about 7000 vacant this after
noon, tho crowd measuring about 23,000
when the game began.
All Brooklyn Is excited, but not excited
enough to part with good money to help
Charley Ebbets make his fortune. Tho fans
are more or less peeved at Charles Holiday.
They resent his boosting of prices. There
fore they are. watching the scoreboards In
stead of going to Ebbets' monument to him
self. Ebbets certainly hates himself. He' has
his name draped In onyx around a mosaic
baseball on the foyer floor, cast In bronze
around two baseball plates on the walls,
to say nothing of having It scattered around
In other spots about the place. You can't
turn around without seeing his name' or
likeness.
The bleachers were packed an hour be
fore the game. The bleacher crowd got
the benefit of the sun. It was the best place
In tho field to watch the game. It was cold
In the stands, and the many vacant (S
seats caused Mr, Ebbets to be chilled.
The sky was cloudless, the alrcrlsp and
keen and the players exhibited Just as much
"pep" In the early practice as they did yes
terday. The teams appeared about 12: JO
and went through tho usual line of stunts.
While tho crowd wasn't ,any more than one
half the size of that that witnessed either
game In Boston, It made twice aa much
noise.
What the home fans lacked In numbers
they made up in enthusiasm. The Dodgers
appeared to have a lot it confidence after
winning yesterday's scrap. The selection
of Leonard aa ths Boston hurler caused
Uncle Wllbert to place Fred Merkle and
J I ih my Johnston In the game, Itoblrmon
expects to come back with Bherrod Smith
In Boston tomorrow.
It Is rather odd that every game In the
series thus far has been won by a single
run margin,) just as was the case In the Ave
games in 1915, which proves that there
Is little difference In the class of the pen
nant, winner in the two leagues and, that all
contests are decided on 'the breaks. The
only game to date that really has been won
on Us merita was yesterday's victory of
the Dodgers, '

Former Transit Director A. Merrltt Tny
lor this afternoon gave his full and un
qualified Indorsement to tho draft of tho
proposed ngreement between the munici
pality and the" Philadelphia Bapld Transit
Company, as contained In he ordinance In
troduced In Councils yesterday by Mayor
Smith.
Mr. Taylor, after searching study of the
ordinance, found only two points which
might be considered defects. Both of these,
he said, probably were l;romMe(J Jy , lcge.1
complications that might arise and rcould
bo remedied In the future. These two points
are the elimination of tho Camden tube and
the failure to make provision for corrylng
the Darby elevated beyond tho city lino Into
Darby,
Assuming' that the dates will be filled
In the spaces left blank In the councllmanlc
ordinance, Mr. Taylor declares that It Is
the duty of every progressive rhllftdclphlan
to give tho proposed agreement his Immcdl
ate support.
TALYOrt'H STATEMENT. ,
The statement from Mr. Taylor Is:
Careful analysis of tho proposed con
1 tract between tho city and the stice'
railway companies which Is embodied
In the ordinance Introduced in City
Councils yesterday leads me to reach
the following conclusions:
If this proposed contract be entered
Into between the city and, the com
panles, the provisions thereof will ade
quately protect the" city and the travel- ,
Ing public and gain for them all of the
facilities and advantages which I luo
advocated, with certain exceptions
These exceptions are the advantages
resultant from the construction of the
Camden tube and from the extension
of the Woodland Avenue Elovatcd Itali-
wujr ueyonu ine cuy line into Darby,
which are omitted.
The construction of the Camden tube
and of the elevated extension Into Dar
by have doubtless been deferred on
account of legal or other obstacles and
can be provided for later.
Therefore, assuming that all of tho
dates which are left blank In the ordi
nance will be designated In accord
ance with the spirit if the 1'JH tenta
tive agreement, I believe that tho pro
posed contract should receive tho imme
diate and most aggressive support of
Philadelphians ahd of every business,
labor and clvlo organization In this
city.
TWO DEFECTS CITED.
Mr. Taylor explained his references to
the Camden tube and the Woodland ave
nuo elevated extension Into Darby by say
ing that tho under-rlter project had been
omitted at this time probably because the
charter for Its construction and operation
had not been granted, while the termina
tion of tho Darby elevated beyond tho
county line might require the granting of
privileges not yet obtained. He was careful
to emphasize that his references wero not
to be Interpreted as objections In any sense
and that his Indorsement of the proposed
ordinance and Its present provisions was
as strong as ho could make It.
CAUSES CITY-WIDE SUPPOIIT
In response to the call of Mr. Taylor
business organization leaders and public
sp'rlted citizens In every section of the city
today are giving the ordinance their fullest
approval,
The draft of the lease, the Mayor ex
plained when ha presented It, Is based en
tirely upon the' tentative agreement worked
out by A. Merrltt Taylor, former Tran
sit Director and representatives of, the
Transit Company In 1 914,' with onjy such
minor changes as were necessary to bring
k up to date. At the suggestion of the
Mayor the ordinance was referred Jointly
to the Finance Committee and the Street
Hallways Committee.

LONG BRANCH. N. J., Oct. 11. Secre
tary of State Lnnslns; left for Washington
today shortly before 9 o'clock, after a lonf
conference with President 'Wilson last night
on new problems raised by activities of the
dei-man submarine U-S3 off the American
const.
The Impression prevails here that Ger
many acted entirely In aeccordance with
her promises tq this Government In her
operations on British shipping oft Nantucket
Shoals Sunday.
But. while methods employed by the com
mander of the U-53 appear to comply with
this Government's stipulation, the larger
question concerning the administration now
Is whether the United States can tolerate'
further submarine activities outside her
ports, menacing commerce and constantly
exposing to danger the lives of American
men, women and children,-
There Is a strong undercurrent ot feel
ing against any such continued practice
which might be contemplated by Germany.
Scores ot telegrams hays peen received by
the President from business Interests de
manding that sharp reminders must be glv- -en
Germany that she cannot virtually -"blockade
the ports of the United States."
Some ndvlso that Ue action of this Govern- ,
ment should not be limited to mere .protest,
Officials here declined to comment on
what wilt be this Government's 'next step
In tho new submarine problem. Secretary.
Lansing would make no statement whatever
before leaving for Washington.
After an early breakfast with Mr. tan
ping the President left for a game of golf
and nothing regarding his conference lVlth
the Secretary of State was forthcoming

of the Dranshtown station.
The four, who said their names were

gan, fourteen years old, and James Meenan,
twoHe years old, were found In a dugout

The four boys had dug a hole and haa
then tunneled for quite a distance tn tha
bank. The potlce found the boys through
an lnestigatlon following numerous re
ports of large quantities ot bread and milk
which are said to have been taken from the
neighborhood lutely. Yesterday two auto
mobile lap robes were taken from 'an auto
mobile on Wlnggohocklng street, so the po
lice got busy.
District Detective Oraharn' and Patrolman
Hopkins, who raided the secret ci've this
morning, say they found a large quantity
of the missing property. All the allecaa
bandits were placed under arrest and take
to the House ot Detention, where they WIH
