Kppley, the victim of llic Ktml f. politics Philadelphia, iilayn, was Imrleil today. -. Thrbngs lo .tho number of thousands $ I'surged Into tho little house of 511G Merlon "avenue, whoro lay the body of the inar- , t ', tyred detective who gavo ip hla life In tho Atr, performance of his duties when the j "Bloody Fifth." helped along by Imported cunmen, saw redder than Ij Us usual wont These same tluonsJ.. which had been ' forming outside tile home since 5 o'clock ' this mornlrV, doubled as, the time for tho requiem nt St Gregory's Catholic Church. Fifty-second street and Lancaster avenue, approached. And when the dtoi' opened and the body tit the young detcettve. followed by tho white-halted, grlcf-strlcken lv.othcr whoso solo support he jiay, was curried tin ouch the long blue-coated lano formed by 120 policemen, membcis of Kppley's foimer dis trict, tho Twenty-ninth, and inoic than one hundred detectives of the vicp squad, the crowds hastened to the church: There they filled the pews, the aisles, the doors leading Into the sacrlty and rectory . the choir and ihc vestibules. They blocked the steps Mid tho adjacent streets. , Theirs were not the faces of the Idly cu'lous. Many, bartleulaily lhoe who sat In tho pews nearest the altar, wore the stamp of genuine prlcf at tho deiaiture of one for whom they had a great affection ; but the stern, prim looks of tho' niajotlty was a silent criticism of the stato of things that could permit such a tragedy as this lo happen.. It Is doubtful, judging fioui the tcniper ofjthat crowd, if his Honor the Mayor, or Lieutenant Bennett, or Mr "Ike" Deutsch would have been permitted to p.iy their respects on this "deplorable" occasion "BU THOf ALSO IIUAUY" "Be thou also teady for ot what hour you think not. then the Son of Man will come." When the Itev Father Nicholas A. Travo, the ardent young: i rlest who celebiated the mass, announced that text as the subject of Ills stirring eulogy of the young man, the bravo mother's control nave way. Kver since the killing, which took place at tho primary election on .September 19, Mrs. Theresa Kpplcy has been III. Sobs shook the frail, slender; body, and the lined face behind her transparent black veil woiked convulsively Her head bowed In her hands and slu could no .onger keep her grief Inaudible ltelatlvett and friends who thought they had themselves well In hand were affected by their sorrow and tho Vision of the mother's plight. The wave of emotion that swept the assemblage threatened to drown out the wolds of the priest. Father Trao vonllned hla heriuon to gen eralities. No harsh recriminations or bald accusations were necesaary to Intensify the bitterness In tho hsitt of every thinking person present MET D1SATH AS A lll'UO "The great war of nations going on abioad," tho priest said, "has dyed the fields of Europe crimson wltli the blood of horoes ; but there are other heroes. Ocorge Eppley fought a war tor his Immortal soul. He Saw his duty and he did not fall. Death had no terrors for Kppley-. .He carried with him a belief la the spiritual -value of tem perance and a sensa of dutj that led him to his sudden death. Ills death came when lie was looking forward to a long and happy future, when ho was in the full vigor ot his manhood. ' Many of tho congiegation believe Father Travo's refeience to "a long and happy future' to havo had an especial significance. Miss Jennie Finnegan , a pretty blue'oyed woman who, all In black, at with the family, la said to have been the young detective's sweetheart. No date for their marriage had been chosen, it was said, but she was waiting until he could take caro of her and his mother, too Tills girl, according to it member of the L'ppley family, has been the bereaved mother's chief consolation s!ne the untimely death. It was she who sent the tloral tribute which stood pre-eminent among the hundreds that came to the home. It was a heart fash ioned of blood-red roses and boro the words,, "From your dear drlend. Jennie." BEAUTIFUL FLOllAL TIUBUTK3 A great wreath of lilies and white dahlias was sent by the family of Mercantile Appraiser James A. Carey, who lies danger ously beaten up ut his bonis.

Over the body was a beautiful canopy of Me' lace, Interwoven with llowers. At die head and foot of the casket buined th oandelabra In accord with the religious, faith uf the murdered detective. Ills head res'cd near a pillow of roses, bearing the Inscription, "My Son." It was tho mother's offering on tho bier of her hero-boy. Pennsylvania. Itallroad police sent a huge spray of lilies. A broken column was the offering of the police of the Twenty-' ninth District. Flowers were also sent by L-2' . .Tnsen'i ft. MncLiushUn. Director of Sud- i 4- piles. . ' .

Transit Advisor Admits No Provision Against 8-Cent Exchanges FARES MUST PAY CITY Vour criticisms of the Sml'h-Mlttcn tliin sit leaso made by former Transit Director A. Merrltt T.ijlor, and sustained from a legal point by six of tho city's leading law yers, were answered by William Draper Lewis, legal tlanslt advocate of .Mayor Smith. In h letter made public today to C'aouncils' Joint Finance and Street Hall way Committee Mr. Lewis ni-strtod in spite of the view of these sIn attoiqejs. that the leabc does not Ruaiantec any rate of dividend to tl.c Phila delphia Itapld Transit Company, and that there is 140 commitment on the part of the city to ask the Public .Service Commission to h a ute of f.ire which will enable the company to earn more than a 4 per cent dividend, He contended als-o that theie is nothing In tho lease which obligates, dheetlv or In directly, the city to purchase the property of the Philadelphia Itapld Transit Company ot any tlni". Mr. Lewis answered a fianU "Yes,' t" the inquiry ot Mr. Taj lor as to whether the city's full interest and sinking fund charges arc to be met out of tho gtoss tev enues of the united system, or. In other words, out of 'he car fares. Mr. LewM likewise admitted that the lease does provide for the continuance of the eight-cent exchange tickets, but, ho points out. these tickets may be abolished at the opening of the Broad street "ubwny, and tho opening of this subway "will automat ically eliminate 'he us'e of .ohaiige tickets to the extent of approximately t0 per cent " The appointment of a supervising boaid as provided in the lease Is, again defended by Mr Lew It and he predicted that w hen the plan of the board Is fully understood It will be Indorsed. Before taking up ills answet" to Mr Taylor's criticisms, Mr. Lewis pledged him self In Ills letter to lecommend that tho Ian. guage of the lease be changed so that all possible doubt -w 111 be removed regarding the Interpretation ot ceitaln clauses, and p:u tk.ularly that which Mr. Taylor's attor ney's assert guarantees the company a 0 per cent dividend. None of the six attorneys who piepaied the opinion indorsing the foimer diiector's contentions would make any reply to Mr Lewis's letter today, preferring to wait until the next public hearing to be held Friday. October 3. These attorneys are Charles L. McKeehan. Parker S. Williams, Thumaa Ilneburn White, William A. Glas gow, Jr.. Henry C Thompson, Jr, and Owen J. Itoberts.

Last fall Chairman Gaffney, of Councils' Finance Committee, and other members of the water rate investigation, agreed that if after a, year's trlil the lates proved disci imlnatory or excessive they would be made equitable This condition, speakei s for the saloon men contend, has resulted and tellef is soueht. The various amounts paid by haloon men re governed by the size of the ferrule used to penult a flow of water Into their estab lishments as well as by the number of flxtuies in use The average ferrule Is less than one Imh, making the fiat chargo ap proximate S3L', plus fixture and other charges. Km ess water used Is paid for at the late of (orty cents per thousand gal lons, but establishments with laige ferrules must pay a higlier flat, rate per thousand gallons than is tho case with the smaller establishments Tills condition, tho saloon men contend. Is discriminatory, and changes in the ferrule rates formed the crux of to day's demand. v CONGREGATIONAL CLERGY CRITICIZE MAYOR SMITH Ministers' Association Passes Resolu tion Condemning Dereliction of Duty A lesulutloii criticising Mayor Smith for having failed to pi event the outrages In the Fifth Ward during the primaries lat Wednesday was unanimously adopted today at the weekly confeieme of the Congrega tional Ministers' Association of Phila delphia, meeting at 1816 Chestnut street.
