Mr. Taylor called upon tho members of the Legislature to "scotch" the pro posed piece of legislation, charging openly that it was designed to enable transit obstructionists to divert the already adequate borrowing capacity which the city has for transit development to other purposes and thus destroy the plan which the people have voted for favorably. Tho bill in qucstiqn, which would throw open to general appropriation pur poses tho 3 per cent borrowing capacity now available exclusively for transit and port improvements, will bo up for second reading in tho Senate tonight. It already has passed the House, where it was introduced by Representative James J. Heffernan, of Philadelphia. In spite of Mr. Taylor's appeal, Stato Senator Vare, sponsor for the bill, said he would work for its passage and it would pass. After the Taylor statement had been read to him, Senator Vare said: "There is no intention under this constitutional amendment to di-ert the money already appropriated for transit or that which may bo needed to com plete tho system. Tho bill intends only to utilize the surplus in case a surplus exists. In the end, it is the people's money and the bill must be submitted to the people before anything can bo done. I introduced this amendment the same as I did the original bill which it amends, and I also introduced the other en abling transit legislation prepared by tho late .John G. Johnson and worked for its passage. "I am for thin amendment in spite of what Mr. Taylor says. You can rest assured that it will pass." The statement of tho ex-Director follows in full: Statement by A. Merritt Taylor . Joint resolution No. 594, which originated in tho House, is progressing through tho Legislature. It must be scotched forthwith or the special bor rowing capacity which has been secured to tho city solely for transit and port development will bo diverted to other purposes and the people of Philadelphia will bo cheated out of at least a part if not all, of- their high-speed system. Tho results of four years' struggle for real rapid transit in Philadolphia must not thus bo destroyed. Hero are the facts: In 1913 a bill was prepared by Mr. John G. Johnson at my suggwtion, which made personal property in Philadelphia taxable for city instead of State purposes. The assessed valuation of taxable personal property was thus mado u basis of city borrowing capacity and the city was enabled to increase its in debtedness to an amount equal to 7 per cent thereof, or $40,000,000, for transit development and other permanent improvements. It is interesting to note that as Director of the Department of City Transit I ! II 1 I Continued cu file Seven, Clunin Thrr itpf he Day Wathi" by Louis Trafcy, a Story of the .w-..

She had sped down the Hudson from Albany, where sho took the air nt 1:05 a. m , dropping paper bombs with this mes sage: , "I'm flying from Buffalo to Washlncton carrying messages n( cheer from the Ked 1 Cross campaigners In northern New York to those In Washington. You, down there on earth, have you done your bit for the ned Cross J 100,000,000 fund? I'm doing mine." Miss Stinson, on her arrival In New York, said "It was a perfect trip doiwi tho Hudson My engine did not miss tire once. I .Just stuck to the edge of the river, about 3000 ftet up I didn t fly over thu rher, because Im afiald of water." DANIELS AND BAKER URGE AIRCRAFT APPROPRIATION Favor $GOO,000,000 Item in War Budget at Hearing of Senate .Aviation Subcommittee WASHINGTON, Juno '25 Tho $500. 000,000 aircraft appropriation was urged by both. Secretaiy of the N'axy Daniels and Secretary of War Baker before tho Senate subcommittee on aviation vtoday. Both secretaries, however, opposed the creation ot a separate Cabinet post on aviation. "Tho air rervlco should not be separate any more than submarines or mine layers had been separato from the navy, or nrtll Iiry or the signal corps from tho nrmy," Mr. Daniels declared. Ah a result of the conference it was dee'ded that both departments would jointly di aft a bill which would carry the big appro n iation and which will also con tain an important personal section. This section is Intended to solo the problem of tho joint authority of the army and navy over the aircraft. Chairman Sheppard, of the subcommit tee, said tho bill would be brought before tho committee Wednesday morning by General Squler, of the army, and Admiral Taylor, of tho navy, following which Its prompt consideration Is expected. "WETS" PLAN T0 FILIBUSTER IN THE SENATE President Will Not Permit Compromise With Lever Measure's Foes CHAMBERLAIN CONFIDENT Predicts "Bone-Dry" Nation With Passage of House Amend ments in Upper Body WASHINGTON, June 25. Tho arrival of the food contiol and pro hibition bill In the Senate this afternoon set tho upper house running around In c'r cles of confusion. Informal conferences of Senators trying to get their bearings on the House's unexpect d adoption ot the "dry" amendments wprn In nroirress In norv I nook and cranny. President Wilson will make his fight In the senate for food control without compro mise. Ho will Insist that the "teeth" re. main In tho bill. Confronted with the danger of a "wet" filibuster, the supporters of tho bill moved with extreme caution today. They realize that a prolonged Jlght dlieeted against the prohibition amendments would so delay the passage of tho measure as to seriously Im pair Its alue In dealing with speculation nnd prices of this year's food output. Ac ' i will be slow while the Senate feels out 'i sentiment of tho countrs. Tho Agrlcu.t. mo Committee, which hod expected to tako tip the' bill Immediately today, decided to postponu Its meeting until tomoriow. SENATORS HHAlt FROM HOME Tho Senate began hearing from tho country today. The delivery of the bill to tho Senate was followed by a delugo of telegrams, letters, editorials and petitions, condemning and Indorsing tho prohibition provisions. One letter submitted by Senator Goro warned of the danger of rebellion. Senator Thompson, of Kansas, had read Into the record a recent statement by Wil liam Jennings Bryan urging prohibition. Senator Heed, of Missouri, one of tho lead ing opponents bt the bill, obtnlned recog nition ngaln this morning to contlnuo the third day of his long speech against food control. Ho again nssalled tho advisability of turning the control ot tho country's food over to Herbert C. Hoover. Numerous amendments to tho bill were offered. Senator Lewis, of Illinois, proposed a substitute which would put tho wholo question of food control up to the President. Senator Wadsworth, of New York, offered a "trading with the enemy" act ab a rider to tho bill.

"Babe" Ruth, the leading pitcher of the Doston Americans. vva3 Indefinitely suspend ed today by President Ban Johnson, of the American league. Ruth hit Umpire Owen on tho Jaw during the. first Inning of tha firs'. Washington - Boston game Saturday, after Owen had called four balls on Morgan, the first man up. According to an account of the trouble published In the Boston Post yesterday, Ruth lost his temper and asked the umpire to keep his eves open after Morgan walked. This started an argument, which resulted In Ruth being put out of tho game. The Boston version of the fight follows ; "Ruth lost his head completely and rushed for the umpire. ' Catcher Thomas sprang In front of the big pitcher and as Ruth swung at the umpire's head, Thomas ap. parently deflected the blow Before. Babe could reach the umpire again not only Thomas but Barry himself had gotten Jlthe way and the result was that Babe was exiled without any further collision between himself and the umps. "According to the umpire, Ruth did suc ceed In hitting him, although he admits It was a light, glancing blow on the cheek but Mnnager Barry. Heinle Wagner and others of the Boston team Insist that Thomas warded off the blow and on that account they are hoping that Babe will be mercifully dealt with, "The real explanation of It seems to be that the Boston team has been handicapped all season by bad umpiring and some of the players have Just about reached the conclusion that the arbiters have decided to give all the breaks against them Ruth, who Is normally one of the -best tempered fellows In the world, has done- a lot of kicking about the way the umpires behind the plate have been judging them lately 'Owens Bhowed good Judgment Jn making no effort to return the blow IIln cooliiejj probably prevented further trouble, although the police wore promptly on the spot" J 1 tl ti
