Increase In tho 1918 tax rate, even If It
later becomes jiecessarj- to borrow money
for current expenses and deficiency bills.

Income well over J10,000,000 under that to
tal If thn nrnt fnv mtn In in remain UTI
h:J dMttrbed. and with a deficit of from three
to four millions to make up for 1917, the
worried financiers today prepared to use
heroic measure rather han saddle the Ad
ministration with the onus of a second tax

eblnt members will be cut and slashed,
Mary demands will be Ignored, but the
ynweat payroll III' bo kept intact.
Th present city and county payroll ln
elwde) nearly 14,000 persons. Rather than
eetabtno to abolish places where needless
triplication admittedly exist, the financiers
will pure costs by cutting ofT all money that
might be used for Improvements. The
question of cutting places hds quietly been
talked over and declared too dangcrom
from a political standpoint.
VO SALARY INCREASES
Instead, it has been decided that lmpro-e-inent
funds must be cut to the vanishing
point and that no salary Increases shall be
allowed and few. if any, new places created.
Changes, including removals and new ap
pointments, are rumored as the result of
lost wards and divisions, and these changes
are to be used In caring for the faithful
who are now out in the cold.
In the first year of the Smith Adminis
tration it became necessary to float a loan
of nearly J5.000.000 to provide for defl
clency bills and current expenses. This wa

administration left but a very small defllclt.
the major portion of the deficiency being
made'up of bills Incurred by the new Smith
JieadsC This year only a temporary loan
will be made and several millions In old
Mils go over to be cared for out of the 1918
Income.
If the deficiency bills of 1B17 and man
damus needs are Ignored for another year
and the pay-as-you-go act quietly aban
'doned, another 'oan 'r these needs will
'Rave .to be forced through before the end
of the administration. The loan for cur
rent expenses will, under present plans, be
for Jive years and like the existing ope will
become a heavy drain on income during
-the next administration.
X.IEN ON FUTURE OFFICIALS
Borrowing money on short-term loans for
current expenses and deficiency bills Is an
easlefc'and quieter method than resorting to
L-ax rate Increases and coming into the open
wKfttt demand mat uirecuy nnecis nne
pecketbook of every property holder In (the
city. If another loan la floated for deficiency
iterrujv'for 1917 or 1918 It would merely em
barrass future administrations and would
leave 'the present set of officeholders free
of a second tax rato battle.
All jot 1918 demands will be passed upon
by the present body, In which the Vares
have tt two-thirds tor absolute control. The
1919 demands will be the first to be han
dled by the body as -elected on Tuesday.
"Whettier or not the new Councils will agree
to resort to borrowing money for current
needs 'and "thus play the game of the poli
ticians who fear an open tax rate fight, time
atone can tell. '
In discussing the plana and hopes of the
administration to prevent a new tax-rate
increase battle. Chairman Gaffney, of Couo
ells' Finance Committee, today said: "1
have called a meeting of the Finance Com
mittee) for tomorrow and we will start out
with 'the budgets for the county offices.
I mean to suggest that we hold over all
demands for salary Increases and for new
places, until all of the budgets have been
gone over with the utmost 'care. The de
mands will be cut In every way possible,
i am ''not surprised at their big total, but
when we get through with them' they will
be rnifny millions less than they are at the
'present time. ,
"Many directors' ask for everything In
eighty hoping to' get what they 'actually
need. They will have to convince the mem
bers' of the Finance Committee of the urgent
need for every item that is allowed them
for 1918. It may take many meetings for
the Finance Committee, but every head is
going to tie asKea to explain iuny and
clearly the need for the money he demands,
and he will have a hard time to convince
us that demands represent needs. If the
committee acts on my suggestions many
UemS'Wlll ha cut out entirely and new Items
of expense will not be allowed at all at this
time."- ' ' .
Chairman Gaffney, who Is a member of
Councils from, thq JTwenty-slxth Ward, tho
home of Congressman William S. Vare, Is
admittedly the Varo leader In a Vare-con-trolled
Councils. A statement of. retrench
ment .plana from him Is nothing short of
an order to the other members of tho
Finance Committee,
On result of the retrenchment plan will
mean 'the abandonment of a scheme to In

station and tne establishment or a direct

Judge Brown, sitting as committing
magistrate in the Municipal Court, today
held under 81000 ball each the members of
tho election board In the first division of
the Fourth Ward, on chnrges of conspiracy
to Interfere with an elector. George Chris
tian, colored, the Judge of election In that
division, had an additional charge of as
sault and battery preferred against him,
The other defendants who were held are
John Casey, an Inspector In the Bureau of
Highways and a Republican watcher on
election day ; Joseph Casey, majority In
spector: John Coleman, colored, minority
Inspector, and Freeman Snyd.er nml Thomas
O'Toole, clerks of election. Immediately
after thc'hearlng before Judge llroun, Sam
uel W. Salus, counsel for the defendants,
appealed to Quarter Sessions Court on a
writ of habeas corpus, alleging that the men
were Illegally held.
Michael Dowbenko, who now lives at 528
South Second street. In the Fifth Ward,
but prior to election day lived at COS South
Front street, was tho complainant against
the board. Ho said that ho madn three at
tempts to vote on election day, but was each
time forcefully ejected from the polling
place On the first occasion he received a
ballot from Christian and was stepping Into
the booth when John Casey challenged him
on general grounds. He said he asked to
hear the objections stated, as he had oted
at the primary election, and ho would not
give up his ballot until they explained
their objections Christian, Donbenko tes
tified, then grabbed his arm und, twisting It
behind his back, made him release his hold
on the ballot.
Ii RINGS NATURALIZATION TAPERS
Believing that the objection had been
raised because there might be some doubt
as to his citizenship and restoration, Dow
benko went homo and procured his naturali
zation papers and certificate of registration
and again went to the polling place. He
showed the papers to Christian and again
asked permission to vote The Judge of
election ordered him from the place and
when he would not go oluntarlly lie was
shoved out by Christian Tho third attempt
met with like results, and ho then appealed
to Clerk Thomas Sherman, In the Municipal
Court, for a warrant charging the men with
the offenses for which they were held.
On election night, Dowbenko testified,
while he was sitting in his house a crowd
gathered outside and some one threw a
piece of broken bottle through the window.
Other windows were broken by mlslles
thrown by membcra of tho crowd. He said
he was afraid to continue to llc there, ho
the next day, Wednesday, ho moved to the
South Second street address Ho said he
could not recognize any of those In the
crowd that attacked his home.
HELD FOR ASSAULT
Frank G. Smith, of li!l2 Poplar otrcct.
a Republican watcher In the Ninth Division
of the Fifteenth Ward, was held v.nder
$to00 ball for assault ard battery on
George Dawley, colored, of S38 North Fif
teenth street, a clerk In the Municipal
Court, and a Town Meeting party watcher
In the division on election day. Dawley told
Judge Brown that on election day Smith
was entering the booths with voters and
helping them mark their ballots, without
any solicitation on the part of the voter.
Dawley objected to this and appealed to
the Judge -of election to have Smith stop
ped from assisting the voters when his
service was not asked. Smith, tho witness
said, became angry at him and ordered
him, Dawley, out of the polling place.
Dawley refused to go and Smith, placing his
hand on the shoulder of the Town Meeting
party's watcher, marched him from the
place. The assault was a technical one.
but sufficient. Judge Brown ruled, to hold
Smith for court
COAL DEALERS WILL AID
RAILROADS IN CRISIS
Agree to Receive and Unload
Cars Nights and Sundays to
Relieve Famine Conditions
Plans to rush coal Into Philadelphia to
remedy the shortage here are being fomul
lated by representatives of the Pennsylvania
Railroad working In co-operajlon with the
Philadelphia Coal Exchange.
An Important conference on the subject
was held in the Broad Street Station. The
railroad was represented by If. C. Clev
enger, A. B. Clark and A. Strickland, of the
embargo and transportation departments.
The exchange was represented by a com
mittee consisting of Samuel B. Crowell,
Maurice Crean, James II, Kelly, Charles K.
Scull and John E. Lloyd.
In response to the request of the railroad
made at a former meeting, the committee
was able to bring a unanimous report from
the dealers that they would be glad to as
sist in tho dispatch of cars by allowing
them to be put In nights and Sundays.
The committee further promised, on behalf
of tho exchange, to ask all dealers along
the Pennsylvania line to unload any cars'
that would bo easiest for the railroad to
place, regardless of size or kind, thus elim
inating a great deal of tho shifting and
keeping the terminal points clearer for more
anthracite to come Into Philadelphia.

streets.
The men about BOO lrong, left Allentown
this morning on thirty motortrucks. The
privilege of making tho trip was accorded
all sections, nnd those chosen wcro the first
that voted to go. Some sections voted not
to go and the full complement of two bat
talions was mnde up of individual soldlcre
who desired to mako th trip. Many who
desired to see tho gnme preferred to remain
in camp at Allentown until Saturday and
then go to Philadelphia by train.
Tho Ambulance team was put through Its
last scrimmage for Its meeting with the
Marines on Muhlenberg field, nt Allentown,
this morning. Tomorrow morning they
will Bet a final signal drill.

MOVi: TO Ol'ST PRICn
A recommendation to oust Kit Kirk Trice,
a Falrmount Park Commissioner, has been
made to the board of directors of tho Cham
ber of Commerce, following tho storm of
indignation aroused by his reported refusal
to permit a detachment of the United States
army nmbulnnce corns to bivouac on Bel
mont Plateau In the park Mr. Price has
uenica me charges against him.
It Is plonned to call for tho Immediate
removal of Mr. Price from tho membership
of the Park Commission If l.e "is guilty
of such action." The Bcurd of Judges will
be appealed to In the case.
Mr. Price's alleged action was termed a
disgrace to the city of Philadelphia. Tho
removal resolution was adopted at n spe
cial meeting of the committee on municipal
affairs. .
Hdgar Fnhs Smith, provost of the
University of Pennsylvania, said the
detnehment of the United States Army Am
bulance Corps, which had been refused n
permit to bivouac on Belmont plateau, had
formally accepted the offer of a camp site
on the museum field of the University,
where the First Regiment was stationed
labt summer. This was accepted becauso
of Its proximity to Franklin Field, where
tho "fsaocs" will play the marine corps
football team Saturday.
When the resolution was brought to tho
nttentlon of Theodore Justice, another mem
ber of the commission, he said Mr Price
had acted In full authority, as his position
as chairman of superintendence carries with
it pouer to act for the commission In such
emergency cases, although his acta must b
approved at tho stated meetings of the com
mission, Mr, Justice added,
NO APPLICATION, SAYS PRICK
No actual application for permission for
the nmbulanca detnehment to camp In Fair
mount Park was ever received by the I'ark
Commission from Colonel Franklin or any
one else, according to Mr. Price. Ho said:
"Our conversation was of tho most casual
kltid, during which Colonel Franklin said
h was thinking of bringing noma 600 ot
the umbulanco men from their camp at Al
lentown to Philadelphia to see the football
game between the ambulance team and that
of the marines at Franklin Field on Satur
day next,
"He said they expected to motor down
on Friday and stay over Kunday, nnd he
was looking for a suitable place for them to
pitch a camp for the three days and nights.
"Ho asked whether Belmont Plateau
would bo available for the purpose, nnd
when Informed that tho Park Commission
had found It inadvisable to permit Its usa
for a large camp extending over several
days, although It was frequently used for
drilling purposes, Colonel Franklin said that
he would have no trouble In securing an
other site for his camp and left, apparently
satisfied with tho Information he had obtained."

Jail officials have not yet kept their threat

While party lcadeis bombarded tho dis

diana, to meet tho President tomorrow aft
ernoon Miss Paul and Miss Winslow, In the first
protracted hunger strike In this country's
history, nro held Incommunicado In the
District Jail here. Jit.II officials refuse In
formation regarding their condition, al
though sister militants deilare Miss Taut
must bo ery weak from lack of food.
The strike Is "u matter of eggs nnd
milk," said Woman's party headquarters.
Miss I'aul claims the other suffrage pris
oners In the Jail nro being starved and
broken In health by the breail-coffer-ipork-and'eabbage
diet Facing seven months'
imprisonment, such food will break down
the highly strung women. It was said.
Jnll physicians plan to give eggs nnd milk
when life demands, but return to the reg
ular prisoner diet when vitality Is restored.
Mlts Paul ond Miss Winslow refuse eggs
nnd milk in tho hospital ward as Ioiir as
the other suffrago prUoners aro denied
them.
Jail Superintendent Slnkham said: "If
these women don't eat It's their own fault.
I hao nothing else to say. When I, am
ready to talk I'll talk."

The Federal law, which forbids the kill

Strawbridge & Clothier
Men Are Thoroughly Aroused
to the Importance of the Great
Profit-Sharing Sale of Clothing
The facts are plain, the presentation of them
straightforward. We placed orders for our stocks of
Clothing from eight to twelve months ago, and prices
of all woolen fabrics have soared sky-high since then.
Many standard overcoatings and suitings are not
obtainable at any price. We are not alarmists by any
means, but we can't help predicting much higher prices
for next year. Our distribution of this immense stock
without taking advantage of its great increase in value
since our purchases were made, is equivalent to
PROFIT-SHARING with our customers especially in
view of the fact that few, if any other clothing stores
were equally forehanded.
Prices in our regular stock start at $15.00 for both
Suits and Overcoats and our lines at that price are
remarkable. But at every price the value is greater
than the price indicates. This is strikingly shown in
our hundreds of dark blue Overcoats at $20.00, $25.00
and $27.50 Trench, storm and form-iitting models
and in our Flannel Suits at $18.00, $22.50 and $27.50.
Every Suit, up to $45.00, and every Overcoat, up to
$75.00, is worth more than we ask for it. But we have
many EVEN GREATER VALUES than these special
