Admiral F. T Bowles, assistant gen eral manager of the corporation, heads this committee. Those who will serve with him are F A. Brown, of the cor poration's purchasing division ; J I.. Heplogle, manager of the steel division of the war Industries hoard, and J. B. Bonner, president of the Carnegie Steel Corporation. This committee wII meet again Mon da, when a general probe into the cause of the delay of steel shipments will he undertaken. Particularly tardy have beeit the shipments of steel plates for hulls. On the other hand, parts for amidships are coming Into the yards In some instances In excess of imme diate requirements. The committee will direct the distribution of 'such supplies to the yards In the future. Charles Plez, vice president of the Fleet Corporation, was chairman of to day's meeting. Others present besides those named on the committee were K. C. Grace. Bethlehem Steel Company: J A. Farrell, United States Steel Cor poration, and M, C. Tuttler, head of the cupply division of the Fleet Corporation, The tonnage figures look good,' Mr. Plex. said, "but the system of ship ping the various parts Is faulty. Vou can't launch a vossel without the hull, having work amidships completed, and Insufficient plates to put on the hull Is causing most of the delajs." Mr. Pies said he thought the the pres ent Improper sequence In shipments was due to the fact that It Is much easier to fabricate the pafts for amidships; In most cases they are plain plates, 'those for the hull are difficult to shape. Adltlnnnl delftVn am rausftd hi tha. manner In which the plates are turfiedV out from the rolling mills. It was said recently that the mills have not the time to cut the plates exactly to specifications. When the plates are delivered to the fabricating plants, where they are fin ished Into ships' parts. It Is necessary to put them through correction shops for a preliminary truing. GIVES UP CITY COMMITTEE Bonnhvell Will Not Try to Gain Control Supporters of Municipal Judge Bon nlwell, the Democratic nominee for Gov ernor, plan to abandon their fight to try to wrest control of the Democratic City Committee from the Donnelly-Lank com bination. The name of James J. Breen. the Bon nlwell campaign manager, will probably not be offered for the chairmanship of the committee when It meets for reor ganization Monday night Instead, the Bonnlwell forces plan not to oppose the program to re-elect Lank and will Ignore the committee. At the meeting of the committee last Monday, a test vote showed that tho Bonnlwell forces only controlled eight members of the committee. An effort had been made to bring about harmony between the rival factions by putting up Robert S. Brlaht as a neutral candidate. but Bright expects to go abroad to do Bed Cross work. Judge Bonnlwell Is expected to return to the city today to confer with his sup porters concerning a conference which will be called to map out his fall cam paign. The conference Ib expected to be called within the next two weeks.

Roth the Government and the defence rested their cases today In the trial of Frank Stephens, founder of the single tax colony of Arden, near Chester, who Is accused of violating the espionage act, which entered upon Its third day this morning In the United States Court. Judge Woolery refued to Instruct the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. Robert T. Wollery, an Arden grocer, testified he had heard nothing but good about Stephens. On crocs-examination by United States Attorney Curley, Woolery admitted he had heard Stephens was a member of the National Peace Council. The next witness was Allan Farmer', of Arden, who said Stephens had' a good reputation. Tho Government then called Mrs. .Mathilda, U.-KrvJn. Arden. In rebuttal. pA'ftoVnej Vurfey iftew from. Mrs. Krvln that Mrs. Newton L. Grtibb and Jits Edward T. Van Trump did not ask for Stephens when the two women bond sellers met "Mrs. Ervln ln Arden. Mrs. William Worlhlngton testified at the close of jesterday's hearing that the bond sellers had asked Mrs Ervln If she knew where Stephens was. Mrs. Van Trump, one of the women who caused the charge to be made that Stephens said Liberty bond workers were murderers, was recalled. In rebut tal and sV also denied that Mrs. Grubb and herself had not asked for Stephens. Mr. Curley then asked Mrs. Van Trump if she had Bald she was not selling bonds to men, hut to women alone. The question was objected to by defense and the objection sustained. Continuing his rebuttal, Mr. Curley called Mrs. Grubb and asked her about the alleged conversation between Mrs Knin and th hnnd Hellers in which the nrnneeutlon witnesses lire said tn have asked If Stephens was around. Mrs. Grubb said she did not ask such a ques tion. The Government rested. The defense, too, rested. Mr. Roe then made a motion for direct acquittal. For the second time. Judge Woolery refused to Instruct the Jury to return a verdict of not guilty. Many residents of Arden were again In court to watch the proceedings, as was Stephens's son, Donald, under in dictment for evading the selective serv ice, rno-i Stephens today obviously was n,tru ried. The furtive watch he nialntintfW on all movements of attorneys and the nervous twitching of his face bespoke uncertain thoughts on the outcome of the trial. The case likely will go to the jury be fore adjournment for lunch. The pray ers of the defense and Government were handed to the Court, and Judge Woolery allotted one hour and a quarter to the defense for addressing the jury. Mr. Curley suggested this, saying he only .wanted forty-five minutes. Addressing the jury, Curley said the Issue Is whether or not Stephens had made the statements charged against him. He told the jury It was Its duty to determine after hearing the two sides. the Government and the defense, which i ,..., ...uincr ,v, irmh ,,- curley said Stephens was an In terested witness and his testhnonvroS "" V'l",, S,1?. e.'"gny l" tradlcts the Federal witnesses, "Somebody has lied," Mr. Curleyvlbwn mBde t0 equalize the working time shouted, "and as one witness Is Inter ested and two could have no assignable reason for saying he did declare bond sellers are murderers, It Is the jury's duty to determine who lied."

WRESTS CHILI) FROM DEATH, : THEN COLLAPSES AT BEDSIDE Hospital Physician Saves Baby Poison Victim After Day and Night Battle Success Crowns Long Vigil , After Hope for Patient Had Been Abandoned ' ' TT0 WOUK all night without a moment's rest for the life of a jcar- old baby until the doctor actually drops from exhaustion Is nlmply part of the game ; and that Is not nil. He mu.st be on the Job again as quickly as pos sible, because when human beings arc, In pain a doctor cannot indulge In any thing like nerves. Thin Is the point of view which Dr. S. K. Basu, of the Northwestern Hos pital, maintains modestly. Last night Doctor Basu struggled without pause until morning to ,save the life of a baby, Mary Little, who had swallowed poison. She Is sitting up now In her crib at the hospital quite serene about the disturbance she caued. .Mary was prowling around on the kitchen floor and found rolling about Homo little red pills. Mother was tn the next room so Mary ate a few. They had dropped opt of daddy's waistcoat pocket as It hung over the chair. The way iMary's mother tells It Is this: "And then she came to me, and I raw she was twitching queerly I thought I didn't know what was the matter with her. I sent for the doctor, but he couldn't come If I had waited a little bit longer my baby would have been dead. And then I saw she was terribly III. I can't remember very well It's all b hazy to me. She's the prettiest child. Only sixteen months old but you'd think she was three, and she's got the dearest little ways. I I Just got my heart In that child," Mrs. Little began to ory. She vvbr still white from shock though the baby is now very nearly well. "I ran with her to the hospital. I don't know how I got to that hospital. I didn't remember the way coming back, 1 asTed Doctor Basu, "Do you think my baby will get well? And he said. I can't tell ou.' But he did savo her. He did! Oh. think what It would have been If he hadn't been able to. But I MANY USELESS JOBS BALKED INCREASE OF POLICEMENS PAY Continued from Pane One tianscrlbera In his olllce and this fact has been seized upon hy Independent councl'.men as an Instance of short hours for the city and long funds for the workera. Most county offices are open from nine in the morning until 3 o'clock In tlie afternoon while city offices re main open until four in the afternoon after , opening at nine. These banking hours are greatly curtailed In many In stances by the habit of employees of knocking off early or when they complete their work. In a number of county offices clerks are permitted to quit for the day after doing a certain amount of copying Some of the more rapid workers finish up their piece work shortly after noon while still others finluh up about 2 o'clock. Three o'clock, or quitting time, often finds these offices virtually deserted. The short working hours In most of the departments are frequently given as the explanation for the amount of work done or not done and no effort has ever between the city and county of Phila delphia. Naturally, county jobs, sal aries being equal, are more eageny sought ufter by political workers. From a business standpoint, and a business administration Is being sought by Common Councilman William J. Mc Closkey, of the Sixteenth Ward and many others who have taken up the cudgels In behalf of remedying evils now retarding work for city and county, the hours for both services are shorter than those observed by any business house in the city. ' All departments are allowed a full hour for .luncheon and a noontime smoke, while executives and their assist ants make their own hours.. To this general rule there are a few very notice able exceptions. Allowing for the ((In ner hour many employes, now seeking salary Increases, -work a total of five or six hours as a limit on a busy day. These abort hours are In contrast with the demands made upon jiollcemen and tlremen, for nearly all tneir time, wun infrenuent days off. Many city officials believe that a working day for the city' should be at least eignt nour long, uui as this would require employes to stay round City Hall until 6 o'clock, none has the temerity to suggest ;sucii a radi cal tevlslon of conditions.

K. Baku, who, after a day and night battle over Mary Little, one and one-half ears old, saved the child's life prayed to the Blessed Mother." Mrs. Little began to cry again quietly. She did not fry to express l)er gratitude toward Doctor Basu. It was easy to see that In her mind he Is held almost as a worker of miracles. As for Doctor Basu he la a quiet little East Indian gentleman from Cal cutta, who studied medicine at the Med-Ico-Chfrurglcal Hospital here and In the big hospitals of New York. He showed no signs of the racking night. "Why do you want that?" he asked, when his picture was requested. "I haven't done anything. J am not a famous man." He seemed to expect a camera to jump out at him from some corner, and backed away, "Vou think It was a big thing 16 work hard to save the little girl. She was a beautiful little girl I had to save her if I could, and I have worked on a great many terrible poison cases. , You should see her, sitting up tn her little bed and drinkjng milk. And very soon he will go back 'to her mother." rectly connected with the two councll irtanlc bodies. Never in the history of the city have there been emplojed so many councllmanlc clerks, messengers, pages, cleaners, etc. The list Is so long that It Ib seldom published except on the paroll made up by the two chief clerks. The advent of the automobile made places for scoies of drivers who are at the beck and call of all classes of place holders who have the slightest pretext for having a machine. Each year seen a tremendous Increase In the cost of up keep of cars for department heads. bureau chiefs and many classes of work era. Thts Is an Item that members of Councils believe coultl be put on a busi ness basis. A municipal garage has even been suggested rather than to have the cars housed In all sorts of garages and locations as at present. The duplication of duties owing to the tw5 forms of government in vogue here Is another crying evil that Independent members hope to correct to some extent by an appeal to the Legislature, eight months hence. This condition la said to be responsible for numberless positions that are little more than .easy bertha for a day's quiet rest. Main Duties Political Common Councilman Robert H. Lam berton, of the Twenty-second Ward, Is responsible for the statement that by visiting the Recorder of Deeds and the office of the Receiver of Taxes'he could point out fifty men In fifteen minutes with nothing to do, Specific cases are under investigation. , These Include clerks In all branches of city and county st-rylce,. secretaries and other attaches of commissions that because of the war are virtually useless, court employes. press agents and other classes of -em ployes which ln most business organiza tions would be deemed luxuries rath'er iiimii .icutrasiucn, , That useless places are not confined exclusively to those of low or moderate salaries Is the argument that has been made. It has even been suggested that some departments could do without their M000 assistant directors, whose main duties, It, Is contended, consist of see ing the right distribution of ..dltlcal patronage In the appointment of placer holders.

Arrangements for passing the Increased cost of 'postage on to the subscriber, he said, already are under way. A thorough Investigation of the sub ject before drafting legislation was urged. Mr. McAneny asserted that the Postofflce Department had been built Into a prbfltmakcr largely through the Instrumentality of second-class mall. Mr. McAneny denied that present sec ond class rates constitute a newtpaper subsidy, and said no need had been shown for any Increased rate for news papers. He said he spoke not for his own newspaper, but for BOO, largo and small ; that the publishers want con gressional co-operation In considering the problem and are ready to recognize any Inequalities that may be shown. Advertising, Mr. McAneny t-ald, al ready Is taxed as part of the news papers' excess profits and that any at tempt of newspapers to pass an ad vertlslng postage tax on to the adver User would result In reduced volume of advertising, seriously affecting both newspapers and advertisers, cutting down sources of tax revenue and checking the acceleration of business generally. He testified advertising rates have been raised from 15 to 18 per cent since the war began, but pointed out that In creased cost of white print paper, the expense bulk of the papers, has soared from 60 to. 200 per cent. When members of the committee sug gested that the action of the New York newspapers In doubling their subscrlp; tion rates might constitute a violation of the anti-trust laws, Mr.'McAjieny ex plained that the action was taken In concert by the papers not to benefit themselves, but to meet an economic necessity. He said the increase was urged try the Federal Trade Commission.

Within 24 Hours Ceritlntied from rase tine reason I am opposed to them returning to duty." The director aid not say where he pro posed to obtain the pilots and engineers for the city boats, tt Is believed that he will get the pilots through oife of their organization! and possibly through the assistance of the Federal Government. F.lertrlelans First to Councils The employes of the Klectrical Bureau who returned ,to work called first on Director Wilson and assured him of their confidence of obtaining better pay when Councils meet In the fall. The fire underwriters will meet on Tn.ailnv. nnrl fliflr.) Is n finssihlllt v. ac cording to one of their representatives, that they vvlll-ffleclde upon an Increase I In Insurance rates of property along the river front. ' This representative said that the es tablishments In this zone now have a very reasonable rate nnd the Increase of hazard will have tc be considered. Should there be an Increase In rate, such an advance would only remain while the city fire and police boats were tied up. Present rates would prevail again when the city" boats return to action, It was explained. Hirer Fire Bhows Menace The fire of last night, which swept the fertilizer warehouse of Baugh & Sons Co., Delaware avenue and Morris streets, and the W. J. McCahan sugar refinery ln Taeker street, being checked only after many railroad firctugs were called upon for aid, was pointed to by; the under writers as conclusive evidence of the gravity of the situation. Police boats were moored at" the Holmcsbm-g wharf while the fire raged. Three possible wajs of ending the waterfront 3trlke were suggested today. They are: Federal intervention that would com pel the engineers and pilots to return to work In view of the fact that Govern ment stores on the wharves nwaltlng overseas shipment arc endangered. Voluntary return of the men under patriotic Inspiration or pressure of promises made by politicians. Granting of the wage Increase through a special meeting of Councils. Mayor Warned of Peril J. S.' W. Holton, president of the Maritime Exchange, yesterday ent a letter to Mayor Smith, urging some means of protection because of the police and flreboat tie-up In view of the cargoes of dangerous substances on the wharf. He called attention to the danger of conflagration. Firemen combating last night's blaze were almost helpless. They were forced to lay lines of hose several blocks In many cases, In order to J)!ay streams upon the blaze. Great crowds congregated 'In the alien barred zone during the fire- and 100 members of the Home Defense Guards' were called' out to' aid the regular waterfront guards ln driving the spec tators back beyond the forbidden area. All Fire Hosts Idle Forty minutes are said to have elapsed after the fire was discovered be fore three streams of water were being played upon the blazing warehouse!. The absolute necessity of the river patrol was shown as the blaze ate its way to eastern ends of the buildings and raged with virtually no way of. checking them because of toe river. With a flreboat the flames could have been fought from the water, but the firemen were forced to call upon rallioads for help. It was only after the arrival of the railroad fire tugs that the, danger of I greater fire diminished. With several of the tugs pouring large volumes of water Into the burning buildings from the river side and many chemical and engine companies working from the shore, the fire was brought under control early today. Firemen Praise It. Bb Tags Firemen were a unit today'in praising the fire tugs, without which, they say. the fire might have swept almost un molested along the entire waterfront. The cause of the fire and where It originated have not yet been ascertained. It was dangerously near to the great warehouses heavily stocked with sup plies for the American expeditionary forces.

'' hS Wilson, Federal food administrator ofjj "V the District of Columbia, on his return & to Washington from a conference of. Federal State food admlnlstars In this city. Mr. Wilson accused Philadelphia ho tel of serving smaller food portions and, cnarging nigner prices ior mem uihii , the Washington hotels. j Jay Cooke, Federal food administrator for Philadelphia, made quick nnswer to the Wilson statements, 'although ha ,, made It quite clear that he did not,, wish to engage In a controversy with, Mr Wilt-on und believed the District of Columbia administrator had been.J" seriously misinformed regarding the food.,, situation here. Trices Low as Elsewhere V When a dfspatch from Washington,' reporting the Interview In which Phila-"" delphla' was criticized, was read to Mr. Cooke, he said; , "The accusations are not true. I do not wish to engage ln a controversy with Mr. Wilson, whom I know and esteem, ,' and 1 will not engage in a controversy" vlth him. 1 find It hard to believe thafJ he made the statements attributed to him. tf he did he was simply misin formed. I am sure he had no Intention of mis-'3 representing Philadelphia, but such state-"" ments do misrepresent the city. The food prices In the city hotels generally are as low as ln any hotels of their re- spectlve classes. The food market Is as"j low here as anywhere ln the country. "I have compared the prices and por tions of food In Philadelphia and Wash ington hotels nnd I know tho portions here arc larger and the prices lower. "Mr. Wilson was here only a day. I believe, and was largely dependent, upon statements made by other persons i for what he learned regarding the food situation here, t am sure he would - have made no such statements as those accredited to him had he made a thor ough study of the situation personally." VVIlnon'n Charges The Washington dispatch follows: A dispatch from Washington quotes Mr. Wilson as denying assertions that Washington Is a' city of profiteers, and- , declaring that Philadelphia Is as bad. J or worse. , Z. ' The Philadelphia hotel managements he sald, seemed to be taking the food-. !, conservation measures strictly to heart. H judging by the extremely small portions of food served, much smaller than"7 served at the Washington hotels. "" Hotel proprietors hero also denied Si Mr. Wilson's statements.
