The track less trolley may work the change. More than ona hundred residents nf that northern suburb, which Ilea closer to Tren ton limn to Droad and Market streets, nf Bemblod In City Hall this afternoon to argue before Public Scrvlco Commissioner Ryan Uholr final plcns In behalf of tho application for a certificate "f authority to construct the proposed extension of tlio Frnnkford elevated line through Dustleton to Uybcrry. At tho close of the hearing, which was hold In Solcct Council chambers, tho Com missioner mado tho remark that may bo prophetical of Dybcrry'a futuro status In local history. Charles It. Heycr, Its president, had elo quently and logically submitted the con tentions of tho ttuslleton Improvement As sociation ; K. Clinton IlhoadH had cham pioned tho cause of tho Htislnena Men's and Taxpayers' Association of Krankford, and Lcstor 1"). Johnson as rpokTinan for Select Councilman George Mitchell, of tho Thirty fifth Ward, had presented from various tingles their appeals for the commission's favorable nctlon toward the petition. Nearly an hour had been consumed In tho sub mission of these, pleas. Tho cession was about to adjourn. HINT ITOOM RYAN Mr. Ityan, as a Judgo might deller his charge to a Jury, slowly and deliberately made tho suggestion that awakened the citizens of Hyberry to their opportunities "It seems to bo a great pity that private enterprise was not permitted to enter into the competition for this proposed line," he began. "We might then have seen Uybcrry connected with tho city's center by tho trackless trolley. This system la now In Uso In Continental Luropo and In CJreat Britain and Ireland. It Is fed from an overhead wire, which may bo attached to poles, trees or to houses. It la no more unsightly than -arc tho utrects In our city's business centers whero overhead wires aro In use. It calls for no tracks, Is economical In Its construction, and can bo operated, profitably. I presume the construction of such a system on this 11 berry lino would encounter no obstacle to Its Installation from the municipal authorities." The commissioner explained that he was not to be understood as ndvoc.itlng or sug gesting tho construction of a trackless trol ley over tho Ilustlelon-Ilybciry route, but mentioned It because one of the main points In tho arguments over the proposed now lino had been the possibility that no profit could bo expected for many vcurs fiom a trolley line, oven when free of overhead carrying charges. QUESTION Of OPERATION Mr. Heyer, nt the outset of hl3 remarks, had told the Commissioner that with the 11,200,000 available for the line, which penetrates a section ten miles long and " five miles wide, private enterprise would operate, tho lino if tho I'. It. T. declined to do so. lie discussed the situation exist ing, where tho city hud spent more than 15,000,000 on tbe Northeast Boulevard, four Jind onc-hnlf miles of which is Inaccessible, eavo by autnmobllo or wojklng, and does not Include a single house along that dis tance This want of development ho nt rlbuted solely to the absence of ti'anspor .ation Pennypnelt I'ark aa instanced as i city Improvement costing il, 600,000 and leyond reach of tho residents of tho ward in which it is located. Uybcrry Karms' only transportation, the speaker said, was by horso-drawn busses, at tho city's ex pense, for tho 6500 or moro persons lo cated there or their visitors. Tho Philadelphia County Fair, freight transportation und other points of possible revenue wero suggested. Children attending Frankford High School are obliged to walk to Dustleton station at G:30 o'clock each morning, with a similar walk homeward moro than a mile. Tho force Jf Mr. Johnson's remarks was devoted to tho question of service, accom modation nnd convenience of the public, all of wh ch he held had been clearly shown to the commission Mr. Ryan announced that, following a general hearing at Harrlshurg next Wednes day and Thursday, whereat the delivery loop, Hroad street subway, Roxborough eubway-elovated and Krankford extension will be argued, a speedy announcement of the commission's decision would be made.

The public nlso realizes to n greater extent than over before that any tin- reasonable regulation nnd any nt tncks on the railways arc hurtful to tho Rcneral welfare of tho country as well ns hurtful to tho railways. A bail point is tho existence of prices for material that arc very, very much moro than a year ago, and the necessity of paying very much higher wages thah a year ago, with no corresponding increnso In tho unit price of what tho railwnys have to sell freight and passenger service. This condition is narrowing down the margin between income nnd outgo, nnd is making it moro and moro difficult for the railways to go on with tho necessary work of add ing to their facilities. Thi- is un fortunate, because the time of mak ing improvements to tho facilities is vital to the welfare of the whole country. I believe the railways of the coun try as a whole arc not likely to Fhow large increases in gross earnings this year. 1110 net earnings, 1 imim, win HOWARD ELLIOTT show decreases. Tho railways can only add to their facilities by getting and spending mnnev. Some improvements should bo mado out of earnings, and, to permit this, rates should bo advanced. Other improvements t-hnuld bo made by obtaining now capital, which can only bo obtained if investors will buy new railway securities freely. This thty are indisposed to do under present economic conditions. The railways are in need of rolling stock anil many other facilities, and some increase will necessarily be made in 1017, but tlio increase will be limited somewhat by the high prices of material and the very high wages. I believe the Congressional investigation of tho railway situation will be of much benefit both to the carriers and to tho public, bccauic it will bring clearly before tho public the fact that the prosperity of the railways and the general progress of the country arc so interwoven that the result will be tho public will insist that sufficient assistance be given to the railways to keep them in condition to take care of tho constantly increasing business of tho country. ' Tho country is headed for government ownership unless some encouraging legislation is granted and a system of flexible regulation is created so that income can bo more rapidly ndjusted to the outgo when general economic changes occur. I believe that government ownership would affect both tlio railways and shippers adversely. INN. J. RATE PLEA Merits of Philadelphia Dif ferential Big Subject of Testimony RAILROADS USE THUNDER Xl'j n Rlcff Correspondent NIJW YORK, January 19. Tho predic tion that tho issue of Philadelphia would be como a vital factor In tho New Jersey freight rate caso has been fulfilled. During tho Inst two days tho Philadelphia freight rates and the merits on which their dif ferential over the Now York stono Is based havo been the big subject of the testimony presented before Special Uxumlner La Roe, of tho Interstate Connncrco Commission. Tho "Philadelphia thunder" is one of tho chief weapons employed by tho railroads In defending the ptesent rates governing New York and tho northern part of New Jcrsoy. Tho vigorous munncr In which William S. Kallman, a rato expert and trafllc of ficial of tho Now York Central Railroad, championed tho Philadelphia cause was dubbed Inconsistent with thn former atti tude of that railroad by Ocorgo U Record, counsel for tho New Jersey cities seeking to obtain a reduction In freight rates over New York that would placo them on the snmo basis as Philadelphia. ATTACKS JUrtSKY PI.UA Mr. Kallman. who has been termed tho star witness for tho railroads, conducted n systematlo and direct uttack on the com plaints and domands of tho Now Jersey fac tion. During tho courso of his testimony he said that the rights of Philadelphia and Baltimore to have differentials In freight rates over New York and tho surrounding terttoy Included In the zono wns uphold on three different occasions by tho Interstato Commerce Commission and by the common consent of the carriers or railroads. Without directly assailing tho Philadel phia cause, Mr. Record, by a carefully di rected series of cross-examination questions, made Mr. Kallman admit that the New York Central Railroad was one of several lines that bought to have tho differentials of Philadelphia and Baltimore abolished during a hearing before the Interstato Com merce Conlmlsslon In 1905. Mr. Kallman wns asked to toll why Phila delphia und Baltomore wero granted differ, entlals, and ho replied that they were es tablished primarily on the grounds of com petition. This brought retum-fir from tho Now Jersey counsel, who said Mr. Kallman's statement was not In accord with the views expressed by tho Interstato Commerce Com mission on this point, It was Mr. Record's opinion that the economical nnd adequate facilities In handling freight at these two cities were essential reasons for the ruling of the com mission upholding the existing differen tials. Mr. Kallman said ho had no knowledge of such reasons. 'Then you are not In accord with the views of the commltslon." said the at. "I will let the records of the commis sion speak for themselves." responded Mr. Kallman.

PEACE MOVES Wilson Will Take No Open Step Until Proper Mbment WILL PURSUE SOUNDINGS WASIIINV.Tu.V. Jan. 19. There Is no Immediate prospect of Presi dent Wilson making another open movo in tho international peuro game. There appenrs to bo nothing ho can do nt tho present, openly nt least, toward speeding up tho peace machinery. According to oillclals hn Is, for tho tlmo being, awaiting developments and will not take any nctlon that might bo construed by tho belligerents as "butting Into" thofr dlsputes. Tho President feels that tho recent diplomatic i'change!i between this Govern ment and the belligerents havo materially added momentum to pence discussions and a tnctless movo at this tlmo might tetnrd rather than hasten accomplishment of the President's objective. It is tho oIIlci.il vlow hero that the Presi dent will pursuo tlio following course: Couilnuo conlldeutlnl soundings nf belligerent countries In order to keep In Intimate touch with developments bearing on peace. Follow the suggostlon offered in Hal four's supplemental communication on tho rntcnto vlow of peace definitions, and work out plans for some form of "International sanction" to hack up treaties on International agreement to prevent, or nt least limit, futuro wars. Take udvnntngo ni tho first opportu nity that arises again to appeal to tho btlllgeients to consider peace. The Italfour communication has revived spirited discussion of a world court to hear International disagreements with nn Inter national lcaguo or patrol to provont sudden aggression without duo hearing before such a court. Next Monday a distinguished group of International lawyers will meet in Havana, Cuba, to ilisouss, nmang other things, this very question. Two Hurt in Framinghum Wreck FRAMINOHAM, Mass., Jnn. 10.
