CITY ASKS PERMIT
FOR TRANSIT WORK
,
Asks Certificates of Conven
ience for Chestnut Street
Subway and 'L' Work
CONNECT WITH DARBY
Following prompt!) the transit program
mapptiT out by the Mayor after the defeat
of the Salus bill In the Legislature. Transit
"lor Twining today forwarded to the
1 ubllc Service Commission at Harrlsburg
formal application for certificates of public
convenience to permit, the city to proceed
at once with the construction of the Chest
nut street subway, connecting the Frank,
ford and .the Darby "L" lines and the
extreme southern end of tho Frankford lino
Two separate applications were made
The first was for the continuance of tho
Irankford "L" from Front and Callowhlll
streets south to Front and Arch streets,
where It will connect with the Chestnut
street subway. The second was for the
Chestnut street lino from a point approxl
mately at Thirtieth and Walnut streets
to Front and Arch streets under Chestnut
street for the greater part of the way.
According to tho detailed plnns nnd de
signs that accompanied the application the
Chestnut street line will begin as nn ele
vated where It Joins with the Darby "L,"
and will continue as an "I." to about
Twenty-second and Chestnut streets. From
that point It will run under Chestnut street
to about Front street, where It will ngaln
become elevated, running over prlvotc right-of-way
above the Market street subwnv to
the Junction point with the Frankford "L."
Both applications will be beforo the com
mission when It meets in executive session
In Harrlsburg on Monday.
Whether or not Director Twining will also
appear to make an appeal for prompt
action has not been determined as yet.
While In Harrlsburg earlv this week dur
ing the Salus bill fight, the Director held
a long conference with Chairman William
D. B. Alney, of tho Service Board, and
explained in detail the city's program fol
lowing the action of the Legislature In de
feating the legislation desired.
The Director and the commission chair
man also discussed the status of the appli
cations filed early this year asking au
thority to proceed with tho construction of
tho subwny delivery loop, the Broad street
subway, the Darby elevated, the northwest
subway-elevated and the Thirty-fifth Ward
surface line.
All of these applications were held up.
the commission announced, after several
hearings pending the action of tho Legis
lature on tho city's program of transit legis
lation. With this legislation now definitely
disposed of. It Is believed that the commis
sion on Monday will take up these applica
tions automatically.
A fight Is expected In the commission be
fore any action Is taken, howovcr; one
faction of the board favors the postpone
ment of granting the certificates until it
Is definitely decided how the system Is to
be operated, nnd from the Mayor's pro
gram this Is as much In doubt an ever.
Commissioner Magec, who was one of
the leaders of the faction which held up
the Issuance of certificates last February,
declared In Harrlsburg this week that in
spite of tho action on the Salus bill his
views had not been changed.

CUPID TRANSFERS SMILES
FROM JUNE TO APRIL
,
Mars has even changed the marriage cal
endar In Philadelphia.
Though Cupid has always enforced his
dictum that June la the month of brides,
Mars decreed otherwise this year and got
away with It. April usurped the honor.
And no one can deny that It was Mars who
turned the trick.
In April there were Issued 2815 licenses
at City Hall, while for the first twenty
nine days of June only 2310 were Issued.
Taking tho average of 150 a day as the
possible number that will be Issued today
the best June can show will be 2460 a
shortage for June of 366.
Chief Clerk Ferguson, of thtf Marriage
License Bureau, said today that there could
be no doubt that the approach of war
and the desire of some men to avoid .con
scription "by hiding behind a skirt" had
been the cause of the overturning of prece
dent "Proof of this Is shown by the fact that
many persons who obtained licenses during
April did not use them when they found
out that marriage after war had been de
clared would not prevent their being con
scripted," said tne cmer.
At present the bureau Is very strict In
Its Issuance of licenses to men between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty-one years.
Licenses are refused to all who can not
show a registration certificate.
Held for IU-Treatinc Daughters
Joseph Barrick, fifty years old, an Aus
trian, was committed to the Camden

arralgqed on the charge of Ill-treating his
two daughters, aged fifteen and thirteen
years. The complaint against him was made
by another daughter, who Is twenty-two.
He lives' in Pensauken township.

one of the leaders of thp National

He was assigned to a battery of artillery.
With this organization he was on n
march through Chickainouga Park, scene of
the Civil War battlo of Chlckamnugn. The
horses. It Is said, were new to the service
and nervous over the unaccustomed duties
required of them.
Mr. Mcl.cnn, riding at tho rear of the
column of rumbling guns and caissons, was
required at the front of tho column and
spurred his horso to a gallop. Tho animal
bolted and whirled around a tree on Snod
grass Hill, ono of the historic points In the
park.
Tho horse whirled so suddenly nnd
viciously that Its rider was unseated ond
hurled ngalnst the tree. Ills body struck
In such n way that It was bent about the
trunk of the tree. Ho was carried to tho
post hoslptal, but failed to respond to treat
ment. Yesterday morning n consultation
of physicians was held and grave doubts
were expressed as to his recovery. Last night
he seemed to rally, but this proved to be
but a prelude to the end, for he died shortly
afterward.

est son of William L. McLean, publisher of
the Bulletin and a director of the Associated

ofllcers" reservo corps, passed the examina
tion and was commissioned second lieuten
ant. He had previously taken the course
of intensive training nt PJattsburg, N. V.
When the ofllcers' training camps were
started he was nctlvo and enthusiastic in
furthering the plans for them. He was
so far advanced, however, that ho was sent
to Fort Oglethorpe to assist In tho lnMrue
tlon of newer men. His brothers, Robert
ana William L. McLean, Jr., are In train.
Ing at the Fort Niagara camp In New
York.
Tartly for the Improvement of his own
work as an officer and partly to assist In

to Fort Oglethorpe, assisted In the training
of the student corps at the University of
Pennsylvania,
The young officer's parents were nt his
bedside when death camo and are accom
panying the body to this city for burial.
The Fort Oglethorpe camp, officers, en
listed men and student officers, was pro
foundly saddened by tho death of Lieuten
ant McLean. Army olficers charged with
the Instruction of the students were par
ticularly affected, as they said they had
come to look upon him as one of themselves,
a model officer and a splendid example,
morally, physically and mentally, to tho
young men with whom he came In contact
Of sterling character, he had made a deep
study of military affairs and Vept himself
In the pink of physical condition.
Lieutenant McLean was In his twenty
ninth year, and hoped soon to be promoted
to a captaincy In the army.

The "wet" nnd "dry" battle In Congress
drew near a close today, with tho defeat
of "bone-dry" prohibition ccrtnln. It Is all
over but n bit of debating and tho formality
of recording n vote carrying out the Presi
dent's will. Whlsky-muklng must stop, but
beer nnd wine can stay n while, nt least
this will be the Senate's decision and thcro
Is every reason to bellcvo that the House
will concur In It.
Administration tenders hoped to bring all
amendments nnd the bill Itself to a vote
beforo adjournment todny, but more con
servative predictions were that tho meawiro
would not be disponed of until next week.
Although the Democratic "drys" have bowed
to the President's wish to exempt beer and
wlne-maklng from the prohibition provi
sions, the Hepubllcan "drys" were still deter
mined to continue tho fight todny. Tills
obstacle, along with object Ions to nriou
other phase, of the bill, probably will bold
lip a vote for ecnil days.
So fnr as tho linm-dlute effei t on con
sumption Is concerned, tho country will
hardly notlco the pnnilbltloii tho Senate Is
going to enact. No one's thirst for lliiuor
will go unsatlhfled because of tho Senate's
prohibition plnn. It won't affect beer and
wine and will only prevent the further uso
of foodstuffs In the manufacture of whisky
and other spirituous llquore.
There Is enough "hard" liquor In bond
In the United Slates to meet the normal
consumption for two years or more. Per
haps before the supply Is exhausted the
war will bo over. If so, Congress will have
to wrestle with the problem of whether to
continue the prohibition on whisky. Hut.
In the meanwhile, "hard" llijuor consumers
will be able to got their drinks Just as
usual, except that they will In a few
months. In nil probability, be forced to pay
the high prices sure to result when people
begin hoarding -whisky supplies for tho day
when the market supply is exhausted.
I'nless every indication today Is reversed,
President Wilson has won a complete vic
tory on the prohibition uestion. demon
strating once ngaln his grip on Congress
and his determination to conduct the war
according to his own plans. Fntll the
President took n hand yesterday, "bone
dry" prohibition seemed almost a cer
tainty. Ills plea to the "drys" not to force
the fight if It would delay the much-needed
food control bill won many converts Im
mediately, among them Senator Sheppard,
the "dry" leader.
However, the "wets" aren't out of -he
woods yet, even if "bone-dry" prohibition
has been ditched. The "drys" today made
It plain that they have agreed not to press
their fight because they do not wish to do
anything that might Jeopardize the suc
cessful conduct of the wnr, and they de
clared their determination of renewing the
struggle whenever national Interest per

Philadelphia distillers today expressed
their willingness to submit to the Inevitable,
when asked as to their attitude toward the
liquor section of tho food bill.

understand It. Is discretionary with tho

liquors In the bonded warehouses are not
confiscated, the consumption will be greatly

Trolley cars, real "green" ones, are run
ning both wnys on Eighth street. At least,
such was tho case early today when a

"Darby." going north on Eighth near
Market.
"Hoy. thero !" the cop yelled. "Where
do you think you aro going?"
"Why, Darby, of coursel" yelled the mo
torman. "Head tho sign."
"You'll never get to Darby that way,"
tho policeman explained. "Go back tho way
you came."
It developed that the motorman wns
green. He explained that ho thought he
was running on Pine street. The conductor
nnd car were evidently both green, too. The
car was switched In tho right direction.

The names ot spies nnd Becret peMt
agents employed by the old autocratic'- '
ernment of Hussla are to be made pu)W
by the provisional Government, and thV
nre sum to create a tremendous sensattoa,
said a dispatch from Petrograd today.
The chief activities ot man -of th
secret service agents were directed agalmtt
revolutionary movements and organization?.
Since tho downfall of the Cxar nom f
the men and women formerly employed' n
ferreting out revolutionary leaders hV
been In the pay of Germany and hare bet,
nctlvo In Petrograd In behalf of separate) '
pence.
As soon as tho revolutionary leader took
over control of the Russian Government
they sealed the police archives, It -WM
considered unwise to make known th
names of the Itusslan spies while the people
were still excited or the success of their
coup ngalnst autocracy. j
An examination of tho nrchlves. However,
revealed to tho revolutionary leaden that
men and women hitherto unsuspected were
In the pay of the old Itusslan Government,
Some nmong them were prominent Jour
nnllsts. ,
