OTHER CITY NEWS BRIEFS
Philadelphia District Leads East i
in Volunteers, Colonel Hat- I
field Announces
The announcement by the lending bond
ing companies of tVielr refusnl to guarantee
the payment of the Government tax by
many of the Haloonn of the city lias proed
the severest blow that local liquor Interests
hae received In a long time, nnd, accord
ing to Nell Donner, president of the llelall
liquor Dealers' Association, will cause th'e
saloons affected to go out of business after
November 3, the date for tho Initial pay
ment of the tax.
Under the new law, Imposing a tax of
J2.10 a gallon on whisky and J1.50 a gal
lon on beer, the saloon men are given
seven months In which to pay tho tnx, but
a guaranty bond Is required of those avail
ing themselves of this extension, In order
to obtain the full payment of the tax. Many
retail dealers have raised prices In order
to provide In advance for the payment of
the tax, but many others took It for
granted that they would be able to furnish
bond to secure the payment of the tax and
made no such provision. These dealers are
now hard up against It on account of the
action of the bonding companies, and a ma
terial reduction of the number of saloons
In the city after November 3 seems likely
as a result Under the new law the stocks
ef those dealers who have neither paid the
tax nor given bond by that date will be
commandeered by the Government to cover
the tax.
Returns for the wnr tax have been filed
lth the Internal Revenue Department by
about 9000 distillers and saloonkeepers,
and It Is estimated that virtually all the
returns are In. It will be some time be
fore It Is possible to ascertain the quantity
of each kind of liquor covered by the re
turns and calculate the amount of the tax.

HARDWARE MEN
ASK LABOR DRAFT
Atlantic City Convention
Demands Creation of In
dustrial Defense Reserve
MOVE TO AVOID STRIKES
ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 18.
Conscription of labor to avoid strikes
during the course of the world war was
urged by the American Hardware Manu
facturers' Association In nnnual Bcsslon
here today,
A resolution offered by J. G. Blrge. of
St Louis, provides for the creation-by law
of the Industrial defense reserve, to be com
posed of nil men exempted from active
military service by reason of Industrial
requirements, dependency or physical dis
ability. Women are to be permitted to enlist In
the reserve, t'pon motion of li S. Jack
son of Philadelphia, copies of the resolu
tion were ordered to be sent at once to
President Wilson and all of the members
of Cijngress
Other national trade organizations will
be asked to get behind the movement at
once, so that the Industrial organizations
of the country will be thoroughly organ
ized to meet the great wave of opposition
which organized labor at Washington is
expected to roll up against conscription of
labor.
The manufacturers' action followed
sharp criticism of the attitude or organ
ized labor In America, as contrasted with
the patriotic course of organized labor In
Great Ilrltaln, and a message from Dr.
Joseph II. Wiilits, of the University of
Pennsylvania, urging American manufac
turers to profit by Kngland's blunders at
the outlet of the "war and put women Into
their plants at once Doctor Wllllts's paper
dec'ared. upon the authority of the Hritlsh
Labor Commission, that the employment of
women has been nn "unqualified success
across the sea. In a gnat majority of
eases, it was declared, three women do the
work of two men at the same cost and
do It better as a rule, because they are
cleaner, more careful and more obedient in
their work.
I'lttsburghers declared that women al
ready are doing the work of thousands of
men In that city. They are filling some
of the most Important places In the plant of
the Pressed Steel Car Company. Pittsburgh
men said that If labor's co-operation could
be secured there would be no ejuestlon as to
Industry meeting every requirement of the
nation during the war.
It developed during the discussion that
90 per cent of the labor In Kngland Is or
ganized, while the organized labor per
centage in this country Is but 10.
"What we need In this country are more
labor leaders and fewer labor agitators," a
Chicago man said.
The industrial defense reserve resolution
ivas passed with the distinct understand
ing that It Is proposed to bring labor quite
as completely under the control of the
nation as If every worker -were a drafted
man In the army.
Fayette It Plumb, president of the
Manufacturers' Association, and tir'nest T.
Trigg, president of the Philadelphia Cham
ber of Commerce, were speakers today be
fore the National Hardware Association,
the Jobbers' organization, reporting upon
the condition of the edge tool and hammer
and the paint situation, respectively. There
Is a scarlty of supplies In almost every
brunch of the trade.

U.S. TREND TOWARD
OWNING UTILITIES
Special Inquiry Body So Ad
vises National Railway
Commissioners
MILITARY DEMANDS BASIS
WASHINGTON. Oct. 18.
The 1'nlle.d Stales Is moving toward
"complete public ownership nnd operatloni
of public utilities, especially railroad?,
telephones and telegraphs," according to
a special Investigating committee's report
to the National Association of Hallway
Commissioners today. .
Urgent military considerations were
given as reasons- for taking over the rail
roads, "We are not developing our railway sys
tems to the nation's" best advantage," said
the report. "The solution of our terminal
problems wait, and not even the necessary
rolling stock Is being provided Additional
billions of capital are necessary. Since regu
lation cannot permit the Increase of ratc9
to this point, the necessary funds muii
come from Investors or the Government "
President Hlpley, of the Santa Fc. was
quoted 'in the report as salng "Government
ownership Is a high probability. The way
matters are going the Government must
step In and take charge unless, meanwhile,
some other means of saving the railroads
Is found."
PROHLI'M IS DIFFICULT
It Is pointed out that the necessity of
welding the communication systems of the
nation Into a unit brought ubout by the
war will hasten Government ownership, but
that tile problems must receive the most
careful study. Merely because Government
ownership Is successful In foreign countries
must not be tken us finnl proof of success
here, says the report The American prob
lem Is .unique and must be treated specially.
A comprehensive national railway policy
is In the making, the report says. Whether
the railroads arc to remain In private
control or not. billions of dollars of new
money must be Invested In them to take
care of the neglected terminal fat'illtles
and supply additional equipment needed
to prevent such damaging car shortages
as have occurred In the last two years
World railway capitalization now amounts
to J56.3o0.nno.non nnd the share of the
United States Is $15,000,000,000. As argu
ments In favor of public ownership, the
utter collapse of privately owned lines In
Kussla and the military advantages con
veyed by the Imperial German railways
and the Austrian lines since they were
seized are Instances.
Absolute control of the Issue of all pub
lic utility securities, Including those of
railways, was recommended by another re
port laid before the association. High rates
and bad management go with ovcrcnpltnli
zatlnn, It was stated The committee rei'
ommends legislation to provide co-operation
between the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the State public utility regu
lating bodies In supervision of Issues of
utility securities.
URGH TKLKPHONi: MONOPOLY
The merger of small Independent tele
phone companies Into great concerns,
monopolizing the service of extensive areas,
was advocated In a third report. It was
stated that Improved servlco and better
rates follow such tomblnatlons. Agitation
for carfares below nnd above the five-cent
unit was discussed and It was declared that
with tho Introduction of coins of denomina
tions between the penny and the nickel
and between the nickel and the dime a re
vision of street car fares would bo desir
able, so that the passenger would pay a
lower rate for a short ride and a, higher
one for a longer one The report observed
that Increases In street car fares alwavs
was accompanied by a falling off In service.
The Inroads, the Jitney and private auto
mobile "hacked" on the streets have made
In street-car revenues Is enormous, amount
ing to 15 per cent In some cities, the asso
ciation was told In another special report
The unrestricted operation of Jitneys wap
frowned upon. They have, with prlvatelv
owned automobiles, sounded the knell of
further street-car expansion, the leport
stated Women must be used on street
car crew In the near future to release the
men now employed for the bearing of arms,
according to the report.
Too little attention has been paid to the
quality of water and gnp given by public
utilities In cities, a further report said
Water tests should be made and the
standard raised to rafeguurd civic health.
Standards should bo established for a
content of heat units for every cubic foot
of gas sold the public, and the price should
be In proportion to the heat unit content,
the report said It excepted companies
equipped to extract toluol and other prop
erties valuable In the manufacture of muni
tions for the period of the war.

TALE OF A DOG WAGS
OVERNIGHT IN COURT
Jurors Simply Cannot Reach
Verdict, So, Back to the
Kennel, Judge Orders
Probably the twelve maddest men In
Pennsylvania today may be found In Nor
rlstovvn. They are the twelve members of
a Jury which was kept locked up In the
Juryroom nil last night, simply to argue
about a dog.
The dog died last April, but Its tale went
marching on Its name was Popularity.
Hut when the, sleepy-eyed Jurors came be
fore Judge Miller this morning, Popularity
was about np popular as a wood pussy at
n garden party
Popularity was a show dog with a pedi
gree. Ho once belonged to Clarence P.
Wynne, president of the Philadelphia Aeio
Club, who kept him at Alf Dclmont's ken
nels In Lower Merlon. Mr Wynne sold
hlm to Mrs Hertha L. Iloelofs. of Itydal.
She took him to Philadelphia, but soon
found thnt It did not suit her to have the
dog there, and lie was returned to Del
mont's kennels
There Popularity remained, from October, J
1907, until his death last April. Delniont
then tried to collect from Mrs. Tloelofs for
bonrdlng nnd caring for the dog for the
nine years at tho rate of $fi a month. Tho
bill amounted to nearly 700. Mrs. Iloelofs
refused to pay.
Delniont hrought suit against her In
Judgo Miller's c urt. In Norrlstown. Twelve
Jurors, carefree and happy, knowing noth
ing of tho price they were to pay for
Popularity, filed Into their places when
the hearing began yesterday morning. Mrs.
Iloelofs testified that sho had made Del
niont u gift of the dog when she placed It
In his keeping, nnd that therefore ehe
didn't owe hlm a cent.
Alf contradicted. Alf declared that Mrs.
Iloelofs had told him to boaid the animal
and that on one occasion, when asked ahout
tho board, she replied, "I've got it son at
Yale, who costs inc J500 a month and I
can't support n son and a dog, too "
The twelve men lhtcned patiently and re
tired to consider the arguments After
twelve hours of debate they had grown so
weak that they sent out word to Judge
Miller that they could not agree and would
like to be relieved of their duty of finding
u verdict Judge Miller refused Hack to
the mines they went. Kindly circumstances
drew a veil over what they said during the
long, long hours of the night.
This morning, haggard and permanently
embittered against man'K faithful friend,
the dog, they staggered out nnd laid a
scaled verdict before the Court. The ver
dict was given to Mrs. Iloelofs
Popu.nrlty' From any of those twelve
Jurors the name brings out a hollow, bitter
laugh
