Your correspondent, who was then In

raid of tho decision to, send no more Kep

not be abandoned entirely. They wen
considered to bo of gieat s-ivue in hold
ing at home guns, plants and men which
otherwise would be fiecd lor service in
France
The incdonnnnnt reason for the decision
probably is the Increasing strength and
clllcienc of the air defenses, but the ef
fect of the raids on neutral opinion In
view of the then contemplated peace
uvtrturcH may also have been a factor

TWINING ASKS PEOPLE
TO PROTECT INTERESTS
Can Force Fair Agreement on
Lease From P. R. T., De
clares Director
"The citizens of Philadelphia, If they uie
willing to stand tip and fight for their
rights and show lh.it they nre really In
dead cat nest, enn obtain a fair and equitable
Ic.tne of 'the high-speed system to the Phil
adelphia Rapid Transit Company. If they
are unwilling to do this they will get unfil
ing nnd the company will get everything "
Tianslt Director Twlnlitg expressed that
view iridny as n hi let stimmaty of the con
dition be believes the city Is in In tho con
troversy over tho company'i ptoposal of
an operating lease
"The company," ho continued, "believes
that It has an advantage In tho present
ticgoliatlotiss, Its ptoposal represents what
It wants without consideration nf what the
people rhould have. And In that view of a
corporation engaged In business for profit
it Is uulte Justified
'lint we Intend to show what we think
the city and the peoplo should have us their
patt of the bargain and out- tlToit now Is
to delertnino what Is fair and uiultnblo,
ugall.v and financially This department
will make every effort To set fotth tho
situation clearl, and then It rusts with
the people.
Pl'OPLi: TOO INDIFFHRKNT
' The one great trouble with the people
nf Philadelphia Is that they have been und'
ale still too la In protecting their own
Inteiests They shift tho buideti to some
one else and they follow'wllllngly."
The Duct-tor then went on to sn that the
icpnit of Ford, llacon & D.ivls, New Votk
experts, engaged by tbo Mayor to analyze
the trans't lease, with his own report, was
vlttually completed with the exception of
it few tabulations nf figures lie expects,
however, to have tbo full repm t on the
Mnor'H desk when the latter it-turns ft out
l'lorldn
In discussing the negotiations tietvvee,n
the city nnd tho tianslt company In Hill,
which resulted In the I'll 4 tentative agtee
inent. the Director declared he believed
that had the 1014 agreement contained fea
tures as favorable to the transit company ns
dtes the ptcsent Icaso diaft It would have
been apptoved by them without delay.
The remedies for the defects In the pies
c nt lease, which will bo presented In his
tepoit to tlio Mayor, tlio Director said to
dav, will all be open to legal imcstloii and
will have to he passed upon by the citv's
legal advisers before any positive step can
be taken along the lines suggested
These nuestlons of legality, he said, would
not be taken up until nfter tho leport in its
ptcsent form has been laid before the
Mayor atid Councils for their consldetation
Following the attack of Director Twining
upon thoVpioposed lease a now factor has
been Injected Into the transit muddle tndav
by the asseitlon that the Public Service
Commission has no legal or constitutional
tight to withhold for one single day the cer
tificates of public convenience asked by the
city for the v.'ilous subways and elevated
lines
The attack on the commission was made
by llemy S liornemnu, nn attotnev, with
olflct-s In the Liberty Ilulldlug, at a liamiuet
of the Frankford Hoard of Trade last night.
Mr. Itoinem.in has constructed a careful
legal case ngalnst the commission and ho
ingcil Hint steps bo taken by the tnxpaeis
at once to demonstiate to tho commission
that It has no fuither Juilsdlctlou over the
consiiuction phase of the transit epjestlon.
wiiniii pownii i:ndi:d
Mr Hornemnn argued that the Public
Service Commission's Jurisdiction ended
when It had given to the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company .nnd olhei competing com
panies the light to object to the consti no
tion of the high-speed' system. After nn
nnnl.vsis of the public set vice net creating
tho commission and the latei constitutional
amendment which gave to the city addi
tional hot rowing capacity for tianslt and
port development, he declared that the
commission had already exceeded Its con
stitutional authority by withholding tho cct
tlflcites as long as It had
The piesent condition, he explained, Is
o.ie vvheio a body of seven men Is leftislng
to penult the city to proceed with woik
which has been authorized by Councils,
which has been made possible by an amend
ment to tho State Constitution, approved
by the votets of the entire State, nnd which
has tecelvcd the overwhelming Indoisement
of the citizens of Philadelphia nt the polls
The light ot Hie commission to act In
such eases, he continued, Is limited by the
public servlco law to eases wheie the
municipality Is about to enter Into com
petition with existing companies and vvheio
the existing eomp-inles offer no objections
to the pioposals tho commission again lias
no further authoilty.
Mr. Hoineman's nigument. It was made
clear, was not a political nttack upon thn
commission and was Inno wise an ludor.se
tnent of .Senator Peiuose's ptogram for rip
ping the set vice boaitl out of olllec.
TO RALSi: MANY QUESTIONS
Transit Dlieclnr Twlnlng'a icpott to the
Major upon the 1 It. T. proposed lease, It
was learned today, will lalse scveial epies
tlons as to tlio legality of tho ptcsent draft
of the lease. Tlio light of the city lo gu.it.
anlee dividends upon stock which has been
admitted to contain a laigo peieentage of
"vvntei" will be questioned, with scveial
othqr featmes of the proposed lease.
Mi Twining also believes that since the
city must piovldo annual sinking fund p.i--ments
to cover the cost of the i-onsti action
of the lines, the opeiator should likewise
bo compelled to have a similar blnklng fund
to cover tho equipment tost.
