"At the present time," he explained, "the Krankford '1 ends at Callowhlll street and gives no delivery Into the center of tho city. The line must be carried down and It will be necessary for us to construct this extension, whether wo connect with the Market street lino of the transit company, as originally planned, or with the Chestnut street line, which Is being projected as a FUhstltute." No opposition of any kind wns offered to either of the applications at the hearing. Chairman Alney Inquired whether tho tran sit company had been properly notified of the request for tho permits and when as sured that It had been so notified, he asked If thero was any one from the company present. H. AND O. HAS NO OBJECTIONS The naltlmore nnd Ohio Railroad Com pany sent three representatives to the hear ing to ask that tho right be reserved to con fer later with the city officials nnd with the commission over the detailed plans for carrying tho Chestnut street line over the tracks and train shed of the railroad at Twenty-fourth nnd .Market streets Oeorgo H. Stein, counsel for the) company. said thero was no objection on the part of tho railroad to the construction of the line ine other representatives of the company wore 11. it. raicott, assistant chief engineer, nnd P. n. Lang, of tho bridge department. COST AND IlOl'TK OK Tl'BIJ Director Twlnlntr In explaining the plans for tho Chestnut street line said that It would cost about $9,000,000, Irrespective of real estate, which must be purchased to obtain a right of way at each end. The estimated cost of this real estate, he said, ho was unnblo to give at this time. It Is probable that this Item would run very high since It Is the plan, If tho line Is constructed, to run over prlvnto right of way from the west bank of the Schuylkill River diagonally to about Thirtieth nnd Walnut streets, where It will connect with the Dai by "L," and at the other end of tho line to uso a similar right or way from about Second nnd Chestnut streets to Front and Arch streets, the point of connection with the Frankford line. The line, which would be about a mile and n half In length, would be elevated at each end, running as a subway from about Second to Twenty-second, under Chestnut street. At present there Is only $5,000,000 available for Its construction, and, even tbould the city deBlro to begin work In the near future. It would first be necessary to have the voters authorize an additional loan. Chairman Alney announced at the con clusion of the hearing that the commission would take up the applications for consid eration next Monday, when the last execu tive session before the summer recess will bo held.

(Stops Removal Threat in Shipping Row Continued from I'ace One of steel nnd wood ship construction and of the creation of two Government-owned and operated shipyards, which have no foundation In fact. The General's proposi tions are In no way concrete, Denmnn as serts. Until they are mado so, Denmnn told the President, the shipping board cannot consider them, let nlono sanction them. He claims that although some $600,000,000 Is Involved in the plans as set forth by Oen ernl Oocthals tho shipping board is without tho first detnlls of the scheme. If General Goethals will furnish theso facts, Denmnn said today, the shipping board will meet and consider them and "tnlk them over" with General Goethals. "Little surprise will be shown In official circles If Genernl Goethals finally retires from his post as head of the Kmergency Corporation, although a determined effort was bolns; made again today to get hlin and Dcnmani to bury tho hatchet a:;d work to gether. Meanwhile, It la certain that If definite nctlon is not tnken very soon, the President will be asked to remove both men. Army nnd navy olllelals aro Just begin ning to realize the extent lo which tho operations In France depend on the gather ing together nf now shipping to replace that being sent to the bottom -v German sub marines. Hstlmntr-s o file at tho War Col lege and with the General Staff of the navy show that for every man placed on French soil an nverage of twenty-five tons must be figured as necessary to be carried ncross to maintain him for a reasonable time, supply him with arms and clothing and transport him to the front and back again. This enormous quantity of supplies must bo safeguarded both ways bv the navy, as the recent loss of the steamship Kansnn conclusively shows. Tho navy has taken ovc,- entlrel" control of nil transports and supply ships ' All are In command of naval olllcers nnd aro armed by nnval gun crews In addition, destroyers nnd cruisers act as convoys. The navy Is working night nnd day to add In its'do stroycr strength in anticipation of the Ship ping Hoard furnishing a large number of new transports and cargo vessels, an antici pation which It now seems would not be realized for many months. Tho navy also Is rushing work on Its licet of 110-font submarine chnsers and on some of n larger type, nil of which can eventually be utilized to releaso destroyers for transport guard. Olllelals pointed out that most of this work will loso its force If tho Shipping Hoard quarrel Is not settled Immediately. Naval olllelals pointed out today that the navy nt present is In better shape than ever before In Its history It has to maintain the longest lino of communication In the history of warfare. Its 100 aviators, the first armed American force to set font on French soil, today Is ready for active serv ice ns the eyes of the squadrons operating in Kuropenn waters. Kven the most ancient typo of war vessel In commission Is in better shape than ever before, olllelals point out. And this Is due to work performed right here In Washington by officers who have labored night and day to remedy defects that became painfully apparent with the entry of the I'nlted States Into the war. "The navy was never better prepared for any emergency," said an olllclal today. "That was shown by its work in getting the Pershing expedition across. If other de partments will co-operate there will bo no tragedies."

I HARDWICK AND OWEN BLOCK AVIATION BILL Consideration of Food Measure Substituted as Result of Amendments Urged WASHINGTON. July IS. Immediate passage of the tGtO.OOO.OOO aviation bill by the Senate was blocked this afternoon by objections raised by Senator llnrdwlck. of Georgia, nnd Senator Owen, of Oklahoma. An effort will be mndo to pass It tomorrow Senator Hnrdwlck offered nn nmendment to prevent the use of the draft In recruiting men for Hying. Senator Owen tried to have tin amendment added to the measure to placo the supervision of tho expenditure of the $040,000,000 In the hands of the Gov ernment committee. He declared some thing should be done lo safeguard the peo ple's money from possible graft. Theso amendments provoked much dis cussion, with the result that, tinder the unanimous consent agreement now ln oper ntlon. the food control bill came up nt 12 o'clock and displaced tho aviation measure. In bringing up the bill. Senator Chamber Inln said the purpose was so plain that It required no explanation. Senator Curtis, of Kansas, nskcrt nbout the draft provision. Chamberlain said he believed the President already hnd that au thority. He explained, however, that the signal corps did not expect to try to obtain the men for actual flying by draft, but would seek to get all by the volunteer sys tem. He pointed out that ten men would ho necessary on tho ground to every one actually engaged In Hying. Senator Hardwlck took tho position that the provision In (ho aviation bill would enable tho President to draft additional men for the aviation sen-Ice. Ho urged the adoption of his nmendment to strike out the drnft authorization, which he called "un wise, un-American nnd unnecessary." Senator Vnrdaman. of Mississippi, an nounced that he could not support the bill. Referring to the nntl-drnft demonstrations In Canada. Vnrdaman said: "It ls very gratifying to mo to see the manifestations "f patriotism In the country across the border." Senator Vnrdaman n!o assailed the muz zling of the press nnd speech, declaring that the efforts of the Administration to "put padlocks on people's mouths these days were extremely unfortunate." Senator Owen snld he had read that the KilO, ooo.ooo appropriation would buy only about 22.000 airplanes "It ought to buy many times that number," he snld. "Some thing must be put In this bill to safeguard the expenditures nnd protect tho people of this country against departmental or any otitr Indirect graft." Senator Reed, of Missouri, urged the passage of the bill without delay. Al though an ardent volunteer-system man, he snld he did not bellevo tho draft pro vision ln the nvlatlon bill gave the President any more authority than that which he nl ready possessed. Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, de clared there wero enough applicants now for places In the flying corps to supply the needs for at least a year. Gold for San Francisco NRW YORK. July IS.
