Mayor's olllce. The City Solicitor went
over the general features of the lease with
the Mayor, but he did not take a copy
away with him and It Is understood that
he will not receive a copy until nftcr the
meeting with the representntlvei of the
' Philadelphia Itopld Transit Company on
Monday, when the final change will be
(Bade In the draft.
SOLICITOR TO SCAN LRASK
Mr. Connelly virtually assured the
Mayor, howeer, that ho would be able to
(o over all the legal questions Involved
In time to give the lease his approval be
fore the special meeting of Councils on Fri
day afternoon.
The legal difficulties which have arisen
AS a result of thi request of the firms
holding tho six subway contracts (total
ing 16, 000,000) that they bo granted cer
tain "concessions" on account of war con
tlons, were taken up by tho Mayor, tho
Director and the City Solicitor. After the
conference Mr, Connelly arranged a meet
ing with his assistants In tho city's law
department on Monday.
The concessions nought by the contractors,
although they have been approved by tho
Mayor and all others concerned, amount
to virtually an alteration In tho contracts,
It Is admitted, and fur this reason tno
passage by Councils of certain ordinances
Broadening the powers of the Transit Direc
tor may be necessary In order to settlo tho
differences.
It Is possible that such an ordinance or
ordinances may be Introduced nt the special
easlon on Friday although It Is not con
sidered likely that tho preliminary work In
volved In the question could bo cleared up
by that time.
Senator McNIchol. whose firm (the Key
tone State Construction Company) holds
four of tho six contracts. Is particularly
anxious to have the matter ndjuted. Ho
called upon the Mayor In rcferenco to the
dlmoultlcs Just after Mr. Connelly left this
morning.
At the conclusion of tho conference .Mc
NIchol announced that his company had
greed to carry out Its four contracts with
tho city on their original terms. This means
that the costs will remain tho same as
named In the bids submitted many months
go, but McNIchol stipulated that fines lm.
posed for delays In tho execution of the
contracts shall be remitted. He also an
nounced that because the Government Is
taking so many of his men It would be
necessary to give him a reasonable tlmo to
execute the controls. Mayor Smith, ap
preciating the condition of the labor mar
ket, consented to this proposition ho said.
Finance Committee Chairman Joseph P.
Caffney and Charles I,. Fluck, president of
the Northwest Uuslness Men's Association,
Were the last to discuss tho transit situa
tion with the Mayor, lloth went oer the
terms of the lease. Mr. Fluck In order to
acquaint the members of his association
with them next week, and Mr. Galtney to
consider some of the financial problems
Involved which have not been entirely set
tled to the satisfaction of the administra
tion. The fact that Mr. Taylor will make an
xpert analysis of the lease was made
known today by John N. Mcdarvey, chair
man of the transportation committee of
the Allied Duslness Men's Association
of West Philadelphia. This organiza
tion has announced that It will attempt
to amend the lease on the floor of Coun
cils unless It contains a provision for
the Immediate construction and operation
of tho long discussed crosstown line on

between the Independent Republicans and
Democratic voters at tho coming election
could not be secured unless nt least two of
tho principal nominees on the proposed Joint

two of their proposed nominees and Indorse
those of the regular Democratic organiza

Chief Medical Inspector Cairns Fears
Doctors Havo Been Derelict

Whooping- couKh, on the face of tha re

Is on the wane In this city. Iteports In the
department show that for the week endlnt

there were seven deaths. The deaths this
week have not been complied yet In the,
Hureau of Vital Statistics. l '
While hopeful that the spread of whoop

proportions of nn epidemic, has been
checked. Dr. A. A. Cairns, chief medlca"
Inspector of tho Department of Health, fears
rni.. J ... "J:,urca nave not been sub
mltted to his office.
"It has been my experience," Doctor
Cairns said, "that many cases of whooping
cough are not even treated by physlclanf
and certainly are not report. I can
hardly believe that the 152 cases reported
this week to this department approach the
true figures." lne
Doctor Cairns took occasion to criticize
physicians who fall to report cases of
whooping cough which they are treating
These physicians are violating anact
of Assembly, and, as a matter of fact are
more reprehensible than parents who prob
ably do not know the danger to which they
are subjecting other children by taking their
afflicted children Into public places
"Whooping cough Is a disease easily
'Km"" .W'-" he al1. "and everv
child who has It and Is taken on the street
Is a menace to all children." "

When tho men enlisted In this branch of
the service It was tho understanding that
they would not be Bent out of the naval
district, which extends from Uarnegat Bay
to Chlncotcngue, Va. But with various ex
tensions of the service It became neces
sary for moro men for foreign service.
Many In tho naval coast defense, there
fore, waived their right to remain In this
country and wero glad to have opportunity
to be near the scene of action. A largo
majority of the men In this branch of the
servlco, It Is said, have mado great head
way and will bo of much Hervlco on the
regular battleships of the licet.
Nearly a thousand young Phll.idelphlans
nro being granted nt Capo May. Several
hundred more are expected there shortly
and new barracks are being built to ac
commodate them.
Germans now are giving "receipts" for
ships they sink. Lieutenant Eyrlng, of i
German submarine, gave a signed one to
Captain Morehouse, of the Philadelphia
Bchooner John Twohy, which was torpedoed
and sunk off tho Azores on JuW 21. Th
captain and members of the crew wera
saved.
Captain Morehouse has returned to this
city and Is still In possession of the re
ceipt, which reads:
"The American schooner John Twohy wu '
held up today by His Majesty's undent
boat U-X, and, following a search, was de
stroyed." Lieutenant Eyrlng was second officer of
tho met chant submarine Doutschland when
she camo to this country. He told Captain
Morehouso that he had sailed out of Phils- '
delphla for eight years, and that he wu
sorry to havo to sink the schooner, but bad
to obey orders to that effect.
