Mayor Smith la a strong advocate or
relectlve conscription. In dlicusilng the
suVJfct tod.iy ho said:
While tile outh of Philadelphia nro
making a good showing In tho way of
voluntary service, nevertheless I agree
with tho President that selective con
scription Is tho only remedy to get re
sults In this creat crisis. Matters hnvo
reached too serious a stage to' depend on
spasmodic Inclinations toward patriot
ism, and It Ii tlmo to get definite re
sults by adopting 1 resident Wilson's
plan without delay.
VIKWS OF CITIZEN'S
Following aio tho views of other well
known tesldonts of the city and State.
W. W. ATTHIIIIL'KY, vice president In
charge nf operations of Penn)lvanla
rtallroad I am for tho Administration
and that means that 1 strongly favor
selective conscription.
JA.MKs sc.Mtl.r.T, attorney of D.invlllo,
nnd widely known throughout tho St.ito
I favor selective conscription It's the
only thing and the only way to solve tho
problem
DK. .h.wii'el it. di.(, state Commit
slouer of Health I think selective, con
Fcrlptlon Is tho fairest way to raise an
army To depend only on volunteers will
mean that the very best people will come
forward nnd those not so good will stay
behind, and that lu not good for the
country. Selective conscription Is a. bet
ter way nil amund
rill.OMII, MIIII. DON I'OTTKH, banker,
member of P It T, board and president
of the (iernuntown Iliislnes .Men's Asso
ciation 1 think the matter of serving the
Stato Is precisely thn s.imp as supporting
the State' We all oo It a seivlce, and
there Is no reason why we shouldn't
secve It. I believe In citizens being
drafted for the defense of tho State, In
addition you get an army better fitted
ror work, because )ou get the men from
efficient clashes You get younger men,
who have not jet i cached the age of pro
ductivity. A. r. Ki:i:i,Y, mnnuracturer and president
or tho Kensington Board or Trade Con
scription would appeal to mo as being
the most practical plan under the present
circumstances. I Indorse It heartily
II. .1. LAI'KIIKTY, attorney and president
of tho Lognl Improvement Lcaguo I be
lieve In conscription and believe every
body should do their bit.
lilt. ritA.NCIM A. I'AL'IIIIT, president of
the Allied Associations of Went Phila
delphia I can not reo anything else for
this lountry except selective conscription.
It would bo very unwlso to delay for
ninety daya In the experiment of the
volunteer svV-mi, as many Congressmen
advocate Th., bigger nnd quicker a show
ing we ma the bet'er tho Impression,
will be on tno other 'de, both against
tho tlermans nnd In fnvor of the Allies.
The immediate attitude of the United
States will have an Immense effect on th
war I am sure the mntter will be offi
cially taken, up at the next meeting of
our organization.
JKAN PAUL IlirilTCIt, n member of the
Fox Chase improvement Association It
Is my opinion that selective comuriptlim
will bo tho best for all concerned. If a
man Is fitted for n position that Is, he
has been trained for special work, ho
should be put at that kind of work. At
our last meeting we discussed the ad
visability of conscription and pinna were
suggested for a company of home guards.
At the next meeting, on Saturday night,
reports on these plans will be made.
THOMAS A. MANN, secretary of the North
Kensington Buslnesi Men's Association
Of course I would be In favor of selective
conscription. Tho country will need It,
Our association haa always Indorsed
President Wilson's work, nnd li he will
decide to have such conscription wo will
ludorrc him again We expect to take the
matter up for discussion at our next
meeting.
WH.I.IaNi A. DUNI.A11. president of tho
Falrmount Business Association Only
by thn method of selective conscription
will we be able to organize an elllclent
fighting force, t'nder the selective sys
tem we would bo able to place each man
In his proper place In this war I ap
prove of It, and will bring the matter to
tho attention of my associates at the ne.xt
meeting.
(lEOltdi: II. HAVls, president of the Lan
caster Avenue Business Men's Associa
tion The selcctlvo system would make
short shrift with tho loafers and slackers.
Kvciy man would havo to do his lilt, and
do It In the right way The selective
Hjatem would give us an Inventory of our
forces, and we would not make the mis
take of placing round pegs Into square
holes. I shall bring the matter to the
attention or my association.
WILLIAM IIANI'OI'K, president of tho
Cohockslnk Business .Men's Association
Tho volunteer system docs not seem to
promlso success. Men apparently fail to
appieclate that their services are needed
In the nrniy. If tho conscription plan -will
Insure that every one liable for military
service will be made to go It should
havo the support of every one, The coun
try must have nil army and have one
soon. Conscription seems the only way
to get It, Furthermore, the President Is
supporting conscription. Whatever he be
lieves I believe In matters relating to tho
policy of tho nation.
HAMUKL AIIF.RNKTMY, president of the
North Philadelphia Ileal Kstate Brokers'
Association I am In favor of conscription
because I believe It will be necessary, I
don't bellevo It will bo possible to raise
an army In any other way. Considera
tion of the experience of Kngland and
the trouble experienced there with the
volunteer system should convince every
one here that conscription Is the only way.
Thus far people are waiting for the
other fellow to go. Recruiting thus far
has not been successful. '
l)B. HENRY (I OKI) ON THUNDER I be
lieve In following the men that are ex
pert In such matters. If President Wilson
nnd his advisers determine that selective
conscription Is the beBt way to raise an
nrmy, then I, too, am satisfied It la the
beat way, and heartily Jndorse It.

TAYLOR EXPOSES FALLACIES OF
TWINING TRANSIT CRITICISMS
. . FROM ORIGINAL TAYLOR STATEMENT
"Fourth, Scnnto bill No. 780 is apparently desl;nod ns a (substitute for
House bill No. 4M, which was drafted nnd published In tho Department of
City Transit report for 1915."
TWINING COMMENT TAYLOR REPLY
It seems only fair to rIvc Mr. A. M. Director Twining Is in error when
Taylor tho credit that he deserves in he states that my statement, pub
having tho through-routing bill intro- llshed this morning, criticizes House
duccd at tho 1015 session of the Legis- bill No. 414.
laturc at which tlmc'hc advocated and That bill was designed and Intro
u reed Its nassatrc. ns thn following let- duccd in the Leclalnturc two years
ter to Representative Charles A. Am-
bler will show. This bill, No. 1066, of
the session of 1915, Is identical with
House bill No. 414, of the present scs-
sion.
Mr. Taylor now saws that the enact-
ment of this bill into n law would owned tracks have physical connection
bankrupt the Philadelphia Rnpld with tracks of the P. R. T. Company.
Transit Company, but on further re- The bill which I did take exception
flection he will doubtless again see the to is Senate bill No. 786, which goes
benefits to be derived from this mcas- much further than House bill No. 414
uro nnd he will then I trust join the In that it provides for Joint rates, or
friends of the city in urging its pas- transfers, between municipally owned
sngc. lines in Philadelphia (whether they-
be operated by the municipality or by
an independent operator) at ail points
whore they cross at the same or dif
ferent levels, or nro adjacent to each
other.
This provision Is not contained in
House bill No. 414, to which I have
made no objection, and it is the pro
vision which I seriously object to,
upon the ground that it opens the wny
for the establishment of nn Independ
ently operated system of high-speed
lines in Philadelphia, which would de
prive the people of the economics re
sultant from united operation, which
would deprive the city of the vast
profits which arc assured to It under
the 1907 contract with the P. R. T.
Company, and under the contract
which the P. R. T. Company has now
tendered for the equipment and opera
tion of the city's high-speed system,
nnd which would enable the establish
ment of such destructive competition
with the existing system that its
bankruptcy would lie the inevitable re
sult. Those nre nil conditions which fair
minded Philndclphians seek to avoid.
Suit Seeks to Curtail
Rapid Transit Project
Continued from Puce Otm
dueed nt tho IfttS session nf the I.egl
lature. nt which time he advocated and
urged Its postage, as the following let
ter to Representative Charles A Am
bler will show This bill. No tOOfi, nf
the session nf 1915, Is Identical with
House Bill No. 414, of the present ses
sion Mr. Talor now says that the enact
ment of this bill Into ii law would
bankrupt the Philadelphia Itapld Tran
sit Company, hut on further teflectloii
ho will doubtless ngalri seo the benefits
to bo derived from this measure and he
will then, I trust, Join the friends nf the
city In urging Its passage
He then completes his statement with a
letter written by Taylor to Chailcs A. Am
bler when Ambler was a member of the
Hous", asking hhn to withdraw the
through-routing hill
In reply to Director Twining Mr' TaInr
said:
Director Twining Is in error when he
states that my statement, published
this morning, criticizes house bill Nn
414.
That bill was designed and Intro
duced In the Legislature two yeais ago
and published In tho annual report of
the Department of City Transit fm
1015.
It provided for the through rout
ing of cars and the establishment nf
Joint rates of fare where municipally
owned Hacks have physical connection
with tracks of the P. It T. Company
Tho bill which I did take exception to
Is Senate bill No. 78fi, which, goes
much further than House bill No. 411
In thnt It provides for Joint rates, or
transfers, between municipally owned
lines in Philadelphia (Whether thev
be operated by the municipality or
by an independent operator) at ail
points where they cross at the same
or different levels, or nro adjacent to
each other
This piovislon Is not contained In
House bill No 414, to which I have
made no objection, and It la tho pro
vision which I seriously object to, upon
the ground that It opens the way for
the establishment of an Independently
operated sjstcm of high-speed lines In
Philadelphia, which would deprive the
people of the economies tesultant from
unified operation, which would deprive
the city nf the vast prollta which nio
assured to It under the 1907 contiact
with the P It. T Company nnd under
the contract which the P. It. T, Com
pany has now tendered for the equip
ment and operation of the city's high
speed system, nnd which would enable
the establishment of such destructive
competition with the existing sjstem
that Its bankruptcy would be the In
evitable result
These are all conditions which fair
minded Phlladelphlans seek to avoid
In his original statement, published this
morning, Mr, Taylor said that tho first bill,
proposing a constitutional amendment
would destroy the safeguards to the city's
credit and transit development contained
In the constitutional amendment dinfttd
by John C Johnson nnd recently adopted ;
would wipe out the barrier against utiliz
ing the bonowlng capacity set aside for
transit nnd port purposes; would open tho
way to municipal ownership nnd operation
of all public utilities, and would lead the
way to "municipal high finance nnd bank
ruptcy." Tho second bill, according to tho state
ment, contains all of tho objectionable fea
tures of the first, except that It would
not permit limitless borrowing nnd con
demnation of property. Also nmendii.g the
constitution, It would be submltte I to the
people In n general election If It passed
tl.la Legislature as It was adopted In 19 1. "i.
The third bill Is objected lo upon' the
grounds that It would violate a "solemn
agreement" by , authorizing the city to con
demn nny or all of the llnea of the Phila
delphia Itapld Transit Company In spi'e
of the 1907 pact guaranteeing the company
operation of the present lines for tlftv
ears. Providing for through mutes and
joint rates between the municipal and the
privately owned lines, the fourth bill, a
Senate measure, would bankrupt the Phila
delphia Rapid Transit Company, accord
Ing to Mr. Taylor, who points out that It
would enable the city to foster nn Inde
pendently operated and competitive system
of railways.
MAYOR DEFENDS COURSE
IN CLASH UPON TRANSIT
Mayor Smith today Issued a lengthy state
ment reviewing in detail the various delays
which have held up progress on the rapid
transit program of development slnee the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company first
offered to lease the city's system. The
Mayor pays tribute to ex-Director Tay
lor's ability as a promoter and director
of electric railway lines," but declares that
he cannot urge the speedy ratification of the
lease, lu Us present form, as does Mr. Tay
lor, In view of the adverse criticisms of Di
rector Twining and Ford, Qacon A Davis,
who have studied the leas.
Attmr m. ritfteuMlnn at th ImhiII hllla

the c'ty for permission to make the
necosar contracts' to construct thn
high-speed lines. Their adoption will
enable the city to sav to the commis

In Philadelphia; therefore, you may

allow the work or construction to pro

I have been Insisting that the com

Just lerened to, nnd when I said, arter
the healing before the commission on
Satuiday last, that I was satisfied. I
meant that, fiom what the commission
sal. I, I leallzed that the commission
could not well act on the application
of the city until n method of operation
had been detci mined on, or, at least,
until the adoption of the present legis
lation, which I mj self caused to be
Intmiliiced left the city free to con
sider the lease pioposed without being
hampered by the ieali7atlon that there
Is no effective way of operating the
Hjslem on which It Is about to spend
millions other than to lease It to tho
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company.
Mr. Taj lor has leccntly described
this legislation as "unnecessaiy and de
Miuctlvo" I think he will realize, nn
consideration, that ho unintentionally
misconstrues both the nature of the
proposed legislation nnd the Intent of
its Intioductlnii Doubtless this mis
underMandlng Is due to his natuial en
thusiasm for the teims of the lease he
has helped to prepare. This proposed
lease may be all that Mr Taylor claims
for It, but Its teims will affect the wel
raie nf the city and Its Inhabitants for
the next llfty jeats I. ns Mayor, and
Councils nio at least bound to give
carerul cnusldeintion to all objections
coming from lesponslble sources, nnd

legislation or otherwise, an ngiecment

but that will be the best that can be

THREE NEW RECRUITING

PROVOST SMITH .GRATIFIED
Yearn Will Elapse, However, Before
Lawyer's Great Gift Kcvorts
to Institution
Millions of dollars will eventually revert
to the rnlvcrlty or Pennsylvania under
the will nf the late John (1. .Inhnsoti. Just
how much the Cnlverslty will receive Is a
matter of doub, conservative estimates
placing the figures at $5,000,000.
The entire estate, according to John Cad
walader, Sr.. n Cnlverslty trustee. Is about
$10,000,000, counting the famous art col
lection. It Is thought Mr. Johnson spent
nbout $5,000,000 on this.
Discussing the will today Provost Kdgnr
Fahs Hmlth, of the University, said:
Mr. Johnson never confided to me
that he Intended to remember the uni
versity In his will. I think thnt this
Is one of the greatest gifts ever made
to the university, nlthough under the
terms of the will the money will not
be turned over to the Institution for
m.tnv, many ears I don't expect to
be on this earth when the Johnson be
nuest to the university becomes active
Mr Johnson's magnanimity In recog-
nlilng the university should Insplie
the alumni to the Importance of In
creasing the endowment fund, which Is
very small for nn Institution nf our
sire
Penn Is now the possessor nf one of the
smallest endowments of any of the l.uge
universities. Its fund Is less than $3,000.

his fortune me cm red will eventually
double this
