i , gjfollowlnsr the publication of a etory
lemwing in repeaiea aeiays in caiuna ma
sSueh-digcuased first conference between
TrAlUve of tho city and officials of
"hV Philadelphia Itapld Transit Company
ott tna proponed transit lease, Aiayor nmitn
nwaa announcement or. trio ant or ma con-
ttitmtl According to tho Mayor latent
pwml, the meeting- la to be held on Mon-
! or Tuesday of neil week.
, , Monday la exactly a month from the data
tho Transit Company' directors appointed
L 33dward T. Htotesbury, chairman of tha
eseejitlvei committer, and Thomas W. Mll-
.-tonTriresldnt. to renresent tho company
t tha conferences. Tho only evidence of
ariy progress during these four weeks has
been, frequent promises from tho Mayor
mat ma nrst conterenca wouiu on neia
wlthlrr b, few days.
On December 1 Just before Mayor Hmlth
left on his hunting trip ho announced that
Iib had arranged with Mr. Mitten to hnvo
Blnscior Twining- "iret together" with Chief
Engineer Drum to work out some of the
eiiRlnesrlnp; details In order that tho first
conference might be held an won as he
reiurned from his trip.
The meetings between Director Twining
and Mr, Drum, however, ended about an
abruptly as tiny began. On December I
Ua'two met for about three-quarters of an
Iiotir In the offices of the Transit Depart
ment Jn the Bourse. On the following day
they had a similar mooting, though moro
brief.
It developed at these two meetings I hat
the engineering details which the Mnyor
planned to have "all arranged" before the
big conference In reality depended upon
the financial terms of the agreement and
that the Mayor's program, therefore, was
"placing the .part before tho horse."
- DEFENDS FRVNKFOIUJ I'lAN
Closely following the Mnyor's latest
jiromlao of a conference. Transit Director
Twining issued a formal statement defend
ing tha cessation of work on the Frnnk
ffiril "IV during tho winter, which won
the cause of an attack by the Frnnkford
Hoard of Trade earlier In, the week nnd
which Mayor Smith promised yesterday to
Investigate,
,. Mr. Twining laid stress on the fact that
the most Important factor In the transit
situation at the present time wan the rati
fication of an agrooment for the operation
of the Ifrankford "W and other lines. It
Will, require elghtoen months, he entlmntes,
for the "ti" to be put Into operation after
the lease Is signed. Therefore, ho argues,
the cessation of work during the winter
cannot defer tho operation of tho lino bo
cause tho section delayed can bo completed
Irrespective of the halts by Juno 1. next
year, nnd this will bo long before the lino
cat be operated.
TWININQ'S JIEA80N8
Citing the speciflo reasons for the delay
the statement continues:
The section through Frunkford being
Of center post design, where the steel
column supporting the structure will
be erected In the center of Frankford
avenue, Involves the spreading of the
tracka of the Philadelphia Ilapld Tran
sit Company boforo thb foundations
can be completed. It also Involves tho
reconstruction of curves and special
work at Orthodox and Arrott streets,
tip until the present time the .Phila
delphia Rapid Transit Company has
found It Impossible to obtain the neces
sary men and materials for the carry
ing out of Its work, and to start work
rtaw would mean keeping Frankford
jimnue In a deplorable condition for
practically Its entire width through the
business section during the whole of
tho winter without In any way ac
celerating tho operation of the lino.
It was also reported at the Transit De
partment that the protest against the delay
' won largely the work of real estate dealers,
Director Twining announced today that
ho Wtis preparing nn ordinance to be Intro
duced In Councils next Thursday giving
the department authority to purchase the
necessary teal estate for the stations of
the Frankford lines.

PICK LANDING PLACE
FOR AERO SQUADRON
Fifteen Plnncs May Alight Near
Northeast Boulevard or
Navy Yard
Where the fifteen army biplanes that will
sail Into the city tomorrow In squadron
formation will land Is being decided today
by Lieutenant Charles 8. Lyon, of Huffalo,
N. Y and Colonel (leorge Montgomery, of
the Frankford Arsenal, The air machines
will leave Mlneoln, I I , nt 8 o'clock In
the morning, tha weather permitting, trav
eling ISO miles to Philadelphia, tho longest
uovernment flight with the greatest num
ber of participants ever attempted.
The biplanes may come to enrth near the
Frankford Arsenal nr Iho League Island
Havy Yard. It was figured today that
there would not bo room for the landing
within the arsenal grounds, nnd Colonel
Montgomery suggested that they land out
sldo, nomewhero along the Northeast lloule
vard near Summerdnlo station. There In
n large tract which Mill accommodate the
squadron.
And ngatn the navy yard may be de
cided upon as the lauding pimp. Opium
Itobert Ix-o Itusscll, commandant, told Lieu
tenant Lynn today that there was nmin
for the landing immediately outside the
around.
Captain Joseph n. Carborry. If 8 A .
commander of the tlovernnient flying
squadron at Mlneola, and Captain W. cl.
ICIIner, Instructor In mint Ion nt tho post,
will head the flyora In tho flight, all of
whom aro applicants for commissions In tho
uesotvo Aviation Corps of the army.
Tho purpose of the flight In to familiarize
Pilots with (ho difficulties attendant upon
maintaining squadron formation In a dash
of such extended character and to enable
them to becotnn better acquainted with tho
reading of maps nnd romp.isr.es In cross
country movements Tho plan Is In keep
ing with tho rccont Impetus given to army
aviation and may bo productive of more
Important testa In tho near future. Mhoutd
this flight prove successful, Ilnrfulo prob
ably will be chosen an tho next objective
point from Mlneola, With favoring winds
the flight should be made In about an hour
nnd a halt each way.
The planes will start two minutes npart.
After reaching tha desired altitude, which
Is expected to be about 3000 feet, the ma
chines will deploy In squadron formation
and will attempt to fly tno entlro dlslanrn
without breaking out nZ tanks. Knelt will
have Its position In the fonhatlon nnd, In
case any of tho older mnchlncn prove loo
slow to kocp up, the others will "throttle
down" to mako their speed and maintain
position. Most of tho nvlatnrs hnvo Mown
In "concert" with others, but thin will be
tho first time that so many have maneuv
ered together.
To assist them In thin speedometers will
be used. Maintenance of poKltlon will ha
counted In marking tho certificates nnd the
aviator will have to mako n certain nvcrngs
to qualify.
FEUD OF REPUBLICANS
GROWS IN INTENSITY
Old Guard and Progressives
Blame Each Other for De
feat of Hughes
WAsAtNGTO.V, Dec. 16. The old Tong
war In the Senate between the old guard
and the progressives for control of tho
Ilepubllcan pnrty has broken nut again
with an Intensity rivaling tlio vlolcnco of
tho J0I3 revolution. Tlio armod truco of
tho Inst two years Is onded, Kach aide
Is blaming tho other for tho Ilepubllcan
defeat In November, nnd tho whirr of tho
grlndstono sharpening tho avenging cut
lasses for nn open declaration of war was
(the domlnnnt tone In both camps today,
n Tho progressUo group In tho Rrnntn Is
Hletermlned that the old-guard leadership,
tho aalllnger-Siiioot-lViiroso trluim Irate,
must go. Thn old guard Is equally do
tennlned to stay. Thn progren3lvo rllo.ua
showed Its temper yesterday when It sup
ported Senator Moses 10. Clapp, of Min
nesota for president pro tern of tho Senate,
against Scnntor Oalllngcr, tlio regular lto
publican leader.
Yesterday's progressive mutiny was led
by Senator La I'ollctto, of Wisconsin, h
has votod with the Democrats moro fre
quently than with the ltepuhllcnns In the
last four years. Ills rovolt was Jolnod by
Senators Ilorah, of Idaho ; Kenyan nnd
Cummins, of Iowa, nnd Norrla, of Nebraska.
They hadn't been consulted by tlio old guard
when certain minor committed appoint
ments were made recently, and thn election
of tho president pro tern, gnvo them their
first opportunity for revenge.
As tho feud progresses, the llvo mutineers
of yesterday are ulmost certain to gel tha
support of Senators l'olndexter, of Wash
ington, and (Ironna, of North Dakota. In
the next session they will get a new nnd
nowerful ally In the person of Henntor-
elect Hiram Johnson, of California,

For sit years Rnmuel Snrroir carried
small pieces of leather home In n Wile
lunch box from tho factory where ho
worked, the police my.
He secreted the leather, which was of
lite finest grade, In nn empty room of his
home, CO! North Second street, it Is
charged, until he had a pile worth more
than 12000. Carrying the goods out f
the factory became so habitual, It Is said,
that fjarnar gave no thought of dlscoxery.
Hut the firm of llelber A Co, Howard
nnd Turner streets, where Snrnnr was em
ployed, began to notice the shortage of
goods. They' decided to exnmlno every

workmen.
As the rmploes filed out they willingly
submitted to Inspection of their lunch boxes
nil but .Snrnnr He ref.ntd. Ito was
Indignant to lonrn that they should even
mispect him The box was seized, according
to thn poller, nnd on examination, It Ii
nfill, was filled with small pieces of tha
finest grades of leather.
Karnnr was nrrcMcd by District Deter

It has been the custom of somo work
men In leather factories. It Is said, to
carry mil goods In small lots for severnl
years, and then go Into tho manufacturing
business themselves. As tho men are ex
