FIGHT ON STREET
U. S. Supreme Court De
cides' City May Open 44th
Through Grounds
ENDS LONG CONTEST
The Pennsylvania Hospital fur the In
sane, commonly called "KlrkbrldeV lost
Its fight, In the L'nlted States Supreme Court
today to prevent the clty'tt openlne Torty
fouith street through tlie hospital grounds,
an opening that may cut through one of the
buildings.
This is the end of a contest of several
yearn between the lu.spltnl nuthotltles on
one side and the'clty nnd West Philadelphia
citizens on the other unless the hospital
fdiould obtain a lehearlng In the Supreme
Court, which Is extremely unlikely.
Tlie hospital gtounds llo along Market
street between Korty-second street and
Forty-ninth, being bounded n the north
by IIavet foid avenue. The only public ave
nue from Market street to Haverford avenue
through the hospital grounds Is Korty-slxth
Btreet. Years ago Increasing traffic de
manded another avenue through the grounds
and upon Insistent pleas of citizens the city
set about bavin;,- Forty-fourth street opened
from Market street, where It ended, on
through the hospital grounds to Haverfcrd
avenue. The hospital authorities lefused
consent to this. Then the law suits started.
The hospital contributors, through Its
authorities, sought to enjoin the opening of
the street, which was authorized by an
ordinance of Councils II) 1913. The Injunc
tion plea was based upon an act of As- j
sembly or May 17, ia, wmen oruereu inai
no streets, lanes or alleys should ever be
opened through the grounds without con
sent of the hospital .authorities. In con
sideration of this protection the. hospital
contributed one-half of the ground for the
opening of Forty-ninth stieet from Market
Btreet to Haverford avenue, and gave also
a part of the ground of Powelton avenue.
Tin cltv contended this agreement could
not stand against the cKy'B right under the
law of eminent domain to open the street
for public necessity. Judge Martin In
Common Pleas Court sustained the city's
contention, granting power to open the
street provided reasonable and Just com
pensation be given the hospital. The hos
pltal lost on appeal to the State Supreme
Court In July. 1916.
Klrkbrlde managed to get the case Into
the Hupreme Court of the United States and
the decision came, today,

sideration .of Increased railroad rates by
the Interstate Commerce Commission at
Washington, the opinion prevailed In the
financial district that there would be a con
tinuance of "the general Improvement which
became prominent In Friday's trading.
Therefore, when the first prices were lower

wild excitement on the floor of the ex
change. Np person seemed to clearly understand
why such a bad break should occur and
wide discussion resulted as lower levels
were reached throughout the trading of the
forenoon. Around midday there seemed to
be a little Improvement, but the change for
the better did not last long and by mid
afternoon declines were again the order.
In some quarters it was believed that
the speculative element was unable to

Three men wero killed'. Ave wounded and
twelve taken prisoner In a raid by German
imnim nirnlnst h salient held bv American
' troops before daylight November 3.
I The first battle in which American so!-'
dlers took part was staged In the region'
I of tlie Ithlne-Marne canal. The Americana
j holding the trench salient were cut oft front
re-enforcemfnts or the possibility of retrct.
' by a murderous barrage fire from the Ger
man batteries. The losses to the German
1 force were not known to the War Depart
I ment today. One wounded German was
captured.
When the official announcement c,ameout
I that "three Americans are dead, five
I wounded and twelve missing" In the first
j actual meeting with the Germans, a thrttl
I went through the whole country.
Immediately the War Department ww
! 'besieged with Inquiries from anxious )oma
w(m1 of captured SammeM on
1 .,, Y.rn..h frot. the Bed Cross Immediately
fastened plans for rushing food and other
supplies to tlie American prisoners uirougn
a committee just established In Bern.
I Switzerland.
No word In Persuings statement indi
cates what was the extent of the Ameri
cans' part hi the fighting. An ordinary
,..nni, nnllentTtolds between twenty-five an
thirty men, so It would appear the llttl
force of Sammees was virtually wiped out.
