Philadelphia depends for her prcscnt-trny prosperity nnd future de

depend for their life upon a protective tariff, and that tariff can only bo
hoped for from a Republican party in full control of tho executive nnd legis

Mr. Hughes is the standard bearer of that party which holds the life
of Philadelphia in its hands and every loyal Philadclphian should support him

BRITISH LURES
FAIL TO STIFLE
NEW SHIP LINE
Many Firms Promise to
Stand by South Amer
ican Trade
BIG CONTRACTS READY
ConcretS illustrations of rate-cuTtWtac-tlcs
resorted to In an effort to throttle trade
between this port and South America and
to crush out of existence the new steam
ship1 line direct from Philadelphia to South
American trade centers, are reported by tho
Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. Not
withstanding these endeavors to Btlfle the
new line and to dlert trade from this port
Philadelphia businessmen will stand by the
new 'enterprise, regardless of the methods
and underbidding.
Cement manufacturers from the Uclnlty
of Allentown promised that they would
average 2000 tons for shipment every
month to Buenos Aires. Now that the serv
ice is In effect, they stipulate that shipment
will be made through British lines whoso
terminals are In New York unless a rate
of $16 a ton is granted. This rate, officials
of the new line say. Is S3 a ton under what
It costs to charter the steamship.
COST OK CARRYING OOODS
For carrying knit goods from, Philadelphia
to Buenos Aires a price of 65 cents n cublo
foot was fixed, as against 67 '.4 cents
charged at New York In the regular talffs
'of the established British lines. It has not
been possible to obtain the thousands of tons
of business which Is the usual mouthy
aerage shipped from Philadelphia.
One of the shippers questioned regarding
this, said; "I am now offered such terms by
the old lines as to make It poor business to
ship through Philadelphia, If you will make
a fiat rate of fifty-five cents a cublo foot
from Philadelphia, I will immediately sign
a contract for seventyfhe tons of knit
goods for your next sjeamer."
Hfforts by the Chamber of Commerce to
ascertain why such an attitude prevails
hae'teen unavailing, Tho only reason ap
parent to them Is cut rates.

SUFFRAGE WINS .
INDORSEMENT OF
WOMEN'S CLUBS
Temperance, Americanism
and Military Training in
Schools Backed
20 SPEECHES AT SESSION
woman suffrage, military training In the
public schools, temperance arid American
ism were Indorsed by the State Federation
of Pennsylvania women at Its session this
morning In the Bellvue-Stratford. Suffrage,
both as an Issue to be fought for and a
subject for discussions In the annual con
cntlons, was unamlmously Indorsed.
Military training In the public schools
was offered for Indorsement early In tho
session. It was defeated by a vote of it to
48, but when brought up for reconsideration,
after other delegates had arrived, It was
carried by a tote of 106 to 95.
I,IVi:i,Y DKDATKS
More than twenty speeches were made
for and against the resolution presented by
the resolutions committee. Mrs. v.Samuel
Semple, of TltusUUe, former president of
the federation, was the peace advocate who
opposed the Indorsement of the militant
stand, Mrs. George P. Itose, of Sewtckley,
led the debates In favor of preparing the
country by training the youth In the schools
In military tactics.
There was no mention of local option In
the resolution Indorsing temperance. The
resolution placed the organisation In the
ranks of the "drys," with only three women
voting Bgalnut It.
The segregation of the feeble-minded was
also among the many resolutions placing
the federation In various channels of policy.
One resolution called upon Governor
Brumbaugh to appoint two women as trus
tees of i tho State College; another Indorsed
the appointment of a committee on "Amer
icanism"; another Indorsed the appointment
of a standing committee to help rural
women.
FIOIIT FAII.3 TO DEVKLOP
The expected fight against woman suf
frage did not materialise, Mrs. Horace
Brock, however, recorded an objection to
what she termed "the Illegality of changing
the clause In the constitution."
The clause which the votes on the resolu
tion Inserted In the constitution In place
of the clause which prohibited such ques
tions as woman suffrage to be discussed,
defines the object of the federation to be
that of ''uniting the Influence and enter
prise of Pennsylvania women In promoting
measures which all can Indorse, whether
these be legislative, clvlo, educational,
moral or social, and to compare methods
qt study and of work,"
In explaining the position she took yes
terday against changing the clause of the
constitution, Mrs. Brock said; .
'I neer objected to the discussion of
women sufTrago Jn this federation. You
UnoY that perfectly well. I only objected
to the Indorsement of the change In the
constitution as a matter of principle,
"It Is unwise to Indorse all these mooted
questions. If we should Indorse birth con
trol we never would hear the end of It
All these things ought to be stopped,"

FACTIONS SPLIT
ON CITY PAYROLL
ANDMW"JOBS"
Seger's Demand in Behalf of
"Little Fellows" Startles
Financiers
ADMINISTRATION VEXED
Finance Committee Divided on
Salary Roosts and New Jobs
SEGER, of rcnrose-McNichol fac
tion, demnnds consideration for
the "little fellow."
Vnre department hends make
plnccs for political workers nnd
would boost police nnd tire employes.
Ynrc demands would ndd $8,
000,000 to nnnunl cost of govern
ment. Scjjor demands would ndd hun
dreds of thousands to this high
fijrure.
To cjrnnt both would send tax
rate soaring or force Councils to
borrow money to pay salary rolls.
Administration embarrassed and
looking for grounds for agreement.
Fearing an open break In Councils' Fi
nance Committee between Tenrosc-McNichol
members nnd representathes of the Vnres
over the question of salary Increase nnd new
positions, efforts jire being made today by
factional leaders to find a common ground
on which to stand In pasMng on Increases.
Select Councilman Charles Seger, by de
manding better pay for low-salaried men
whom the administration had no desire nor
Intention of boosting, has placed the Vare
departmental heads In the position of halng
to faor nil Increases or of turning against
the ordinary worker.
Seger's suggestion, that had much the
effect of n bursting bomb, when made to the
councllmanlc financiers, would. If adopted,
result In a complete revision of the munici
pal payroll, with the consequent addition
of many hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually to the cost of government. The
feature of the plan feared most by the
Vares and the Administration Is the added
burden It would throw upon the tnx rate.
Especially Is this the case since so many
business associations hae gone on record
as opposing any Increase In realty taxes
at this time.
All of the Increases and new places that
the Vares are Interested In have long since
been Included In the budgets nnd most of
them were to have been forced through In
the next few weeks, They add a total of
about 13,000,000 to the dbst'nf operating the
,cjty.,goveronf nl, a3i lncludersttehlpepular,'
salary .raises as those' demanded uy the
thousands of employes of the Police and
Klre Bureaus.
SEGEIfS STnATEOlC COUP
On top of these unusually heavy demands
now comes the demand of Seger on ehalt
of the "little fellow." Asji piece of political
strategy the move Is unparalleled In the
history of the factional warfare between
the Penrose-McNIchot Councllmen and the
Vare forces, as It lines up the former fac
tion as the champion of the worker and
voter as opposed to salary Increase In high
salaried positions held by Vare appointees.
That the pcsltlon taken by Councilman
Seger la unavailable, In the open, has
been clearly shown by the fact that many
of the Vare leaders. Including Chairman
Gaffney, of Councils' Finance Committee,
hae endorsed the moe and declared that
the low salaries paid should be Increased.
Quietly, howover, with a full realization
of the fact that eery one cannot share In
salary boosts Unless Councllx should throw
all caution to the wind and authorize an
excessive Increase In the tax rato on realty
or borrow money lo meet ss'arles, the lead
ers today are making desperate efforts to
"get together." The time for reaching an
agreement Is short and the advantage ad
mittedly lies with the PenroBe-Mc.Mchol
faction in that their more Is a popular
one and one designated to embarrass. If
not prevent entirely, the carrying out of
the program mapped out with a view to
boosting faithful Vare henchmen In the
city service.
INCREASES TO BE HELD UP
On Monday the Finance Committee -will
meet to take up the 110,000,000 demand of
Director Wilson, of the Department of
Public Safety. At this session all Increases
will be made up and Mr. Seger will make
more emphatic) his stand In faor of raising
the pay of the "tittle fellow," A few days
later the demands of the Department of
Public Works will be taken up, but they,
like' all that have gone befere, will not be
finally passed upon, as all must stand the
final test of revision from the different
standpoints of the two political factions.
Organization leaders today deprecated the
appearance of friction In the Finance Com
mittee and agreed that the eve of a national
and State election was a poor time to start
Internal trouble, The Question of time ap
parently works both ways, as the Penrose
MoNtchot leaders are even more anxious to
make a good showing for Presidential Can
didate Hughes than are the Vare leaders.
Political observers around City Hall declare
that local troubles can In no way affect the
national situation and that It will be fought
out. regardless of the cming election.

to Surgery, He f
Says
A portion of a human brain was remove
today by Dr. H. L. Northrup, the "brain
wizard," In an effort to cure a bpy of ohronle
epilepsy, at one of the score of cllntes that
marked today's sessions of the Clinical
Congress of Surgeons.
The demonstration was witnessed at the
Hahnelndnn Honpltal by many of the visit
ing surgeons, who were amazed at; the
skill and daring of tho operation. After the
subject had teen etherized. Doctor North
rup removed a section of the skull bone,
exposing the base of the brain. With a
few quick strokes of the knife he removed
the portion qf the brain which ha ald waa
responsible for the recurrence of the epi
leptic fits. Then the skull rectlon was re
placed Doctor Northrup told the surgeons that
the boy probably would be paralyzed .for a
period nfter the operation. '
PRKDICTS RKCOVERY
"llut," he said, "the other portions of
the brain soon will take up the function
and work of the part removed. I expect
that the boy will get well and that the fits
will disappear."
Doctor Northrup also removed a tumor
from the brain of a man. He satd, that
brain jmrgery was today where abdominal
surgery was ten years ago.
"Then surgeon; feared to go Into the .
abdominal cavity," he said, "Today ab
dominal operations nre common, and we are
beginning to find out that the brain ns
longer Is a forbidden field,"
Doctor Northrup, n Phllndelphlan, Is
noted ns one of tho world's foremost daring
hroln operators. He has cured thieves and
delinquent children by removing bone
pressure on the brain and by other opera
tions In the brain cavity.
Substitution of a skein ot silk for a. dis

Doctor Young removed a portion of
healthy muscle of the Infected leg above
the knee. He placed this mupcla with the
paratyzed muscle below the, knee. Then
he removed the d cas4d ligament and sub
stituted one of silk coated with paraffin.
Doctor Young told tho surgeons that In a
shprt time healthy tissues would form
around the silken ligament and make It
nearly as good ns a normal one.
The child would be enabled to abandon
her brace, nnd use the leg almost as freely
as before, he predicted

ation for clubfoot on a ten-year-old boy.
He removed a bone from the foot, and said
that In a few weeks the boy would be able
to walk without a brace,

formed on a seven-year-old girl by Dr. J.
P Mann at the Medlco-Chlrurglcal Hospi

hand, the fingers being deformed. The con
traction was cut away and a flap of skin
was raised on the child's back. The hand
then was drawn around and fastened to the
flap. The surgeon said the hand wquld be
kept In this position fully a Week, so lea
to gle the new skin on the back an op
portunlty to grow to the hand. This op
eration, he said, would glte the chlld's.haiva
normal skin Instead of scarred tlssdjThe V
