Al though far bheind "Mason's bunch, the , Gimbel team Is making good and Its captain 'was good enough to Impart a few secrets to his rivals. .... ,, Explaining the success of his team. i. Olmbel told his rivals how to get after the fellow who wants to contribute In his home town. "We struck a snag this morn ing." said the captain. "One of our pros pects said he wanted to help us but Intended :to place his contribution with a team In its own town, a few miles out. We solved his problem by splitting tho contribution and that gave us $10,000." Today's record was a hit better than yesterday's and proved the efficiency of the organisation.

Bodlne. president of the U. G. t, announced that the directors of his com pany declared a special Ited Cross dividend of $50,000 today and asserted that this ac tion was taken for the "commercial In terests of tho company." "For the benefit of shareholders.' said Mr. Bodlne, "I will say that we obtained legal advice before taking this step. We were compelled to eliminate sentiment, but were advised that If the directors felt that a contribution to tho Ited Cross would sen's the commercial Interests of the com pany we could declare it special dividend for that purpose. This was done, for the directors felt that the Ited Cross work Is one of the essential factors in winning tho war." Sir. Bodlne touched upon various phases of the, war and Impressed upon the gather ing the. necessity of winning. "Unless we check the I'-boats " ho ndded. t "and stop Germany on the western front, the war will probably be brought to us. This will mean added expense, and that must be borne by business. In view of this we felt Justified In declaring the special dividend, and did It to protect tho Interests of the company." OTHERS FOLLOW EXAMPLE E. T. Stotesbury. chairman of tho cam paign committee, followed Mr. Bodlne. and asserted that similar action will be taken by other business concerns. "The Philadelphia National Bank," he said, "declared a Ited Cross dividend or ' $22,500 this morning and the Kensington National Bank took similar action." The Ninth National Bank declared a Ited Cross dividend of $4000 this afternoon. That the lied Cross appeal Is reaching all classes was made plain by Mr. Stotesburg when he reported a contribution .of $35 from pupils in the James Madison Public School, "Eighty per cent of these children." said Mr. Stotesbury. "are of foreign parent age and the contribution was obtained at a block party conducted by ten of tho girls. I cite this in order to show the true spirit behind the campaign. The lit tle girls wanted to do their share and de serve the same credit that is accorded to a rich man who makes a big donation."

The Mayor did not know that the amendments made tho bills un constitutional, according to his friends, until Doctor Lewis Informed him. Doctor Lewis, who drafted the meas ures nnd who Is the Mayor adviser on transit matters, came hero with two as sistant attorneys and held long conferences with .Senator Salus and Jenkins nnd Repre sentative Hecht. At the conclusion of the conference ho Issued a long statement, In which he reviewed the damage the amend ments would work If they are permitted to remain In the transit hills nnd If the bills should pass In their present form. The amendments were made In the Sen ntc Monday night and yesterday. STATEMENT HY LEWIS Doctor Lewis' gave out the following statement: "Tho Sones amendments destroy the tran sit bills. "The amendment to tho Salus bill ren ders that bill cleat ly unconstitutional .In view of the Supremo Court's decision in Ashworth vs. the Pittsburgh Railways C231 Pa. 639). "The amendments to the Hecht bill and the Hecht constitutional amendment are not amendments In any proper sense. They chango the entire character of the measures, making them a bill and a constitutional amendment o require the peoplo of Phila delphia to pay for nil the water In the stocks of Its passenger railway corporations. "Tho Salus bill gives the Public Service Commission power to establish reasonable rates for exchange tickets and also to es tablish reasonable through routes where tho facilities of a street passenger railway con structed by n municipality cross or are adjacent to a street passenger railway line constructed by a corporation. As no municipality except Philadelphia Is con structing or has the legal power to con struct street passenger railway facilities, tho bill does not affect any other part of tho State except Philadelphia. The Sones amendment, however, in terms confines tho operation of the bill to cities of the first class. It Is a bill conferring the power to regulate the rates of exchange tickets on tho Public Service Commission. In Ashworth vs. Pittsburgh Railways, the Supremo Court of tho State expressly held that an act regulating the rate of fare of street passenger railway companies In cities of the second class was unconstitutional as local and special legislation. "In short, as .under our State Constitu tion, legislative regulations of passenger railway rates of fare must affect all cities within the State alike, it Is Impossible to regulate rates In one class of cities to the exclusion of tho other classes. "Tho Hecht bill as reported from tho Senate committee gave to cities of the first class tho right to acquire by condemnation proceedings the facilities and rrancnises of their street railways corporations. As reported to the Senate. It gave to tne j'un llc Service Commission the right to deter mine the Just and reasonable amount which the city should pay for the facilities and franchises of Its street passenger railways companies and to divide tho amount awarded among the different corporations Interested as owners nnd lessees. In valu ing the property, the hill followed the exact wording of the Public Service Company law In requiring the commission to cdn slder every fact, matter or thing which, In Its Judgment, may or does have any bear Ing on tho fair amount of compensation to be paid. ' The commission would have been re quired to give such consideration to the amount in market value for tho stocks and bonds ns should be Just and reasonable. Tho bill also provided that each company, while It might receive more, could not receive less than the amount paid In on Its capital stock and Invested In the facilities and franchises taken. As thus drawn the bill was emi nently fair to every Interest concerned. "The Sones amendment entirely changes the character of the measure. From a bill giving the city power to acquire the franchises und facilities of Its street railway corporations. It Is converted Into a bill to condemn the majority ot tho capital stock of the corporations owing or leasing the franchises and facilities. In my opinion, a bill giving the State or a municipality the right to acquire by condemnation the stock of a corporation would be unconstitutional. But whether constitutional or not. this Sones amendment expressly provides that In no event shall the amount of compensa tion or damages be less than the present value, arrived at by capitalizing the rental reserved under any existing lease." "WATER IN RENTALS" "The water in the underlying companies Is In the enormous rentals paid by the P. R. T. The payment by the P. R. T. In excess ot a fair return on the amount Invested by the underlying companies has been vari ously estimated, but Is about $4,000,000 a year. The capitalized value of this rental is between $75, 000,000 and $100,000,000. It is this sum which the amendment would force the city to pay for water. "The Public Service Commission, Instead of having the right to fix a Just and reason able sum as the value of the properties with a right of appeal by either party to the courts would be required to compel the city to pay for all this water. The bill thus becomes worse than useless and Is an Insult and mockery to the citizens of Philadelphia. "The so-called Sones amendment to the Hecht constitutional amendment Is of the same character as the amendments to the Hecht bill. The amendment as drafted and ns reported by the Senate Judiciary General Committee was designed to give the city a borrowing capacity sufficient to enable It to pay the purchase or condemnation price of Philadelphia's street passenger railways. The Sones amendment would strike out the entire Hecht amendment as drafted, sub stituting an entirely different amendment giving the city the right to borrow money to acquire the capital stock of street paisen Kef railway corporations as distinguished Worn tlieir franchises aftd facilities.

M17 a the rase of the Hecht bill, the change would make the measure not only um-Icss, but vicious " A telegram from Mayor Smith was received here today by Representative Hecht and Senators McNIchol nnd Vnre, urging defeat of the Sones nmendment. The telegram follows: Herbert Hecht. Edwin II. Varo. James P. McNIchol. Tho Senate. Harrlsburg. Pa. 1 will not stand for Sones's amendments to transit bills. They render them worse than useless to the peoplo of Philadel phia. I Insist upon their passage as re ported from committee nnd expect you to take such appropriate action as will re store them to the Miape they were in when so reported from committee I am asking Doctor Lewis to go to Hnrrishurg this morning. THOMAS II. SMITH. At Harrlsburg tho Legislature today again delayed action on the transit bills. When the two Hecht bills came up on third reading In tho Senate. Senator Owen B. Jenkins, of Philadelphia, asked that they bo held over. He gave as his reason the explanation that they must be fin liter amended. , The two Hecht measures have already passed the House of Representatives and. unless action Is postponed on them from day to day. they should reach final passage early next week The Salus bill, which still has to pass the House, was unanimously passed by the Sen ate today. Action on both of the Hecht bills nnd tho Salus bill must be rushed by the legislative leaders If the Philadelphia transit measures are to be passed by the Legislature. Final adjournment will be taken here next Thursday noon, and there are only six more days In which the hundreds of bills on the calendars can he disposed of. William Draper Lewis, who went to Har rlsburg on a morning train. Immediately went Into conference with the sponsors of the. bljls there. Senators Salus and Jen kins and Representative Hecht Joined him in the conference. The Mayor sent the following telegram concernlng.'tho bill amending the Constitu tion to the same legislators : I am Informed that House bill 594. the amendment to the Constitution, giving a borrowing capacity of 10 per cent for all purposes, will not pass at this session. It passed last session and must pass this session, otherwise we will have no borrowing capacity for at least four years. House 1)111 '!!, exempting municipal bonds from taxation, should also receive your attention at once If It is to bo passed and tho city gain the benefit of the money which this act will release. Please at ten dto both these matters at once. Mayor Smith declined to discuss the sub ject, and said that the telegrams spoko for themselves. He sent them following a conference with Chairman Gaffney, of Councils Finance Committee.

PENROSE CHIEF INSURANCE FOE O'Neil Blames Failure Gain Legislation on "Unseen Forces" SENATOR OBSTRUCTIONIST Measures to Prevent Wildcat Companies Outlined by Official ' Asserting that tho State Insurance De partment must be equipped with adequate laws If It Is to safeguard the public from wild-cat Insuranco BChcmcs, J. Denny O'Neil, Stnte Insuranco Commissioner, today placed tho blame for the Legislature's fail ure to provide such laws directly upon the well-known Penrose Gang." O'Neil did not mince words, and In his In dictment against the "unseen forces" whlcn he suys arc blocking all Insurance legisla tion charges that Penrose Is tho chief ob structionist. NEED NEW LAWS For several weeks O'Neil has been em phasizing the need for laws which will safe guard the public from faku Insurance com panies and unscrupulous financiers who manipulate the flnnnces of Instil ance com panies for their personal prom. Legislation which he maintains Is essen tial to curb these evils has been held up by "unseen forces." Today he trained IiIb guns on these "un seen forces" and revealed Its Identity. "I mean by that term," began the Com missioner, "that the well-known Penrose gang Is standing In the way of Insurance legislation which Is demanded by all policy holders In the State, nnd which recmt events In Insurance circles have emphasized as Im perative." Detailing the legislation which Is re quired to check Insurance frauds, O'Neil said: "First, there Is the 'blue-sky' law. so called, which would prevent the Slate of Pennsylvania from being what It Is to day, tho dumping ground for the sale of the stocks of myriads of bogus Insurance com panies that arc not permitted to show their heads In any other State In the Union. Then there are laws for the better regulation and control of fraternal and beneficial societies so as to bring them under the immediate supervision of the Insurance Department, which Is powerless to reach many of their abuses ns the laws stand today. "Besides these," he continued, "there are laws framed for the purposo of squelching effectually the fraudulent operation of a legion of small mutual fire companies, which are springing up like mushrooms all over the State. They are without responsibility, here today and nowhero tomorrow, and are bleeding the community through an army of utterly unscrupulous organizers, adjusters and agents. AGAINST SHIFTING CONTROLS "Another law which I consider exceed ingly urgent," said the Commissioner, "is framed to prevent the control ot a com pany passing In a few hours from a board of directors to another board and creating such a condition us Is now presentsd by tho Pittsburgh Life und Trust Company. "Here was a company," Bald Mr. O'Neil, "established for over thirteen years, chart eted by the State, with over 13.000 policy holders and more than $23,000,000 of as sets. It had on Its board or directors me leading men of the community, some in the millionaire class, some holding high civic positions and honors. "They were men whose names were a guarantee to the policy holders that they would not lightly relinquish tho trust re posed in them. Tho president of the com pany who had organized it, died a few months ngo. One of the directors assumed his position temporarily. Meanwhile a gang of looters was busy In New York. They had been looking for such conditions as now prevailed in mo .i-iiiBuursn uu and Trust They came to Pittsburgh, offered double the market price to this temporary president and as many directors as held the stock control, for their hold Ings. Tho offer was accepted. In a few hours' time the old board of directors had resigned and their places were taken by men who were the tools ot the looters. They were handed the keys of the vaults containing tho caBh and securities of the policy holders. They appropriated $1,900, 000 nnd from this paid the old directors for their stock and left the company In sohent. NEW LAW URGENT "This law which I consider so very ur gent." said Mr. O'Neil, "would prevent such a catastrophe in the future, it re quires all directors of Insurance companies to give the department thirty days' notice of their resignations. It requires newly elected directors to give thirty days' notice cf their election, with proots 01 me same, nnd forbids a new director from exerclBlng his functions till he receives the approval of the department. "Then, there are 177 fraternal and bene ficial societies at present doing business In the State," continued the Commissioner. "They nro the worklngman s me insurance companies, nnd as such should be under the protecting nrnr of the Stato to a much greater degree than the big companies. But they are not. The Insurance Department has virtually no supervision over them. "A few years ago." said Mr. O'Neil, "a committee of the National Convention ot Insurance Commissioners, in conjunction with a committee of the National Fraternal Congress of the united states, lormuiatea at Mobile a law for the proper conduct of such societies, Including supervision by State departments. "Thirty-five States, Including New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut, adopted this law, but not the State of Pennsyl vania. Yet a bill which Is exactly similar In every particular la being held up here In the Legislature through the Influence of one man, the head of a fraternal society which is at present Insolvent. "Complaints by hundreds pour Into the department, showing In some instances ap palling abuses" UNDER DOPE SUSPICION Arrest of Alleged Addict Indicates Traffic Thrives The arrest of Nathan Meadowbrook, an alleged drug addict, today leads the police to believe that the dope traffic is still pros pering in the Tenderloin. Meadowbrook, was arrested by Policeman Murray at 227 North Ninth street. The policeman wns attracted to the houBe by a quarrel between Meadowbrook and Mrs. Ada Imwall. his boarding mistress. When the bluecoat entered, Meadowbrook drop ped a white paper on- the floor. The police say it contained cocaine.

Five years ngo the establishment of a million-dollar manufacturing plant of any variety would havo occasioned comment nnd discussion through tno State. Today with the nation dealing in billions, the con! structlon of a $16,000,000 plant goes by with little more than 11 passing comment Tho big fact remains, however, that such nn enormous plant will greatly stimulate enterprise and local business. Thousands of men will be employed. New homes will spring up. Stores and business houses will follow In the wake of the community growth and tho economic development of Philadelphia will recolvo a great stimulus through tho development of tho auburb. WILL START NEW CITY The new Wcstlnghouse plant at Esslni. ton will be one of the largest electric manu. facturlng establishments In the State and In tho nation. The mill yard embraces vie. tually n thousand acres, stretching along the Delaware River for a solid mile. Th enterprise will give steady work to about 16,000 men, nnd these will form the nucleut ui it uuniiiiunuy 01 fU.VUU. Virtually tho entire machinery of tha plant will be devoted to turning out Gov. crnment work needed In tho present war It will not end Its period of usefulness with the end of tho war, however, for the ten dencies In modern Industrial operations art decidedly toward Increasing use of elec trical machinery of nil kinds. BIG FIELD SEEN The waste In operation of Isolated small steam power plants compared with con centratlon In central steam electric gener atlng units (especially with the unprece dented prices for fuel), the prospect of extensive hydro-olectrlc work, the Increas Ing use by railroads of electric power In numerous branches of service and the big field In oqulpment of shipping are some ot tho factors on which may be predicated a demand for tho output of tho electrical com panies on a scale never approached before. The Wcstlnghouse Electric Company It self took In during April and May electrical business amounting to $15,000,000, or at the rate of $00,000,000 per annum. Ths May business wns $8,000,000. The West Inghouse Machine Company Is doing doss to $800,000 of business a month, or at an annual rate of about $9,000,000. The r.ew Esslngton plant when completed will be able to handle $15,000,000 gross a year. All told, the Westlnghouso Electric and Manufacturing Company within a year or two (when the Esslngton unit is ready for full operation) will be a $120,000,000 an nuin concern, with tho samo capitalization as nt present. As the Esslngton plant comes Into opera tion it is probable that the machine com pany department will gradually be trans ferred to it, leaving its facilities added to the East Pittsburgh plant available for tur bine, generator and such work!
