TRACKLESS CARS,
HINT TO BYBERRY
Isolated Suburb Makes Plea
for Extension of Frank
ford Elevated
COMMISSIONER RYAN'S TIP
RcBitlertts of Northern Settle
ment Ponder New Menus to
Become Famous
After nearly 300 years of Isolated exist
nco, Hybcrry may yet mnko Its name
famous In tlio affairs of this city, wherein
H now lias only a remote place. 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.

RAILROADS BETTER UNDERSTOOD,
NEW HAVEN'S PRESIDENT SAYS
Uy HOWARD ELLIOTT
president of the New llavr-n HnHroiu
A GOOD point in tho railway outlook is that there is i better untlerstanclinK
on the part of tho public of the difficulties under which the railways of
tho United Stales are struRfrlinp, and there is ti irrowini? realization of tho
fact that tho railways need assistance if they arc to prepare to do the work
of tho increasing population of tho counts.
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.

SECRECY TO MARK
U. S. 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.
