DENY DISCRIMINATION
IN FARES TO SHORE
Atlantic City Nearer and En-.
titled to Lower Rate, Rail
Official Says
It. J. DeLonp, assistant general pas
senger agent of tho Pennsylvania Kail
road, said today that tho new railroad
faro schedule between Philadelphia and
South Jersey resorts, effective yesterday,
do not favor Atlantlo City against Wild
wood, Capo May and other resorts on
tho .Jersey shore.
Hotelkcepera and business men In
Wlldwood, Capo May, Ocean City and
Sea Isle, protesting against thn boost In
tho price of one-way tickets, charge that
Atlantic City Is favored by railroad
officials.
Mr. Deling denies these charges and
to sustain his position pointed to the
distances between Philadelphia and tho
various resorts.
"The distance to Atlantlo City," said
Mr. DeLong," Is a trifle more than
flfty-nlno miles, while the mileage to
,Capo May Is more than eighty-two. Wild
wood Is seventy-nine and a fraction.
"For years tho railroads, In order to
aid tho moro distant resorts, applied
virtually tho samo tourist rutes that
prevailed for Atlantlo City, but last
year when the railroad administration
faced tho problem of greater revenues, It
became necessary to Increase tho prlco of
tourist or what aro known ns round
trip tickets. The prlco of theso tickets,
good for seventeen days between Phila
delphia and Atlantlo City, was Increased
to $3, while the rate between Philadel
phia, Cape May and Wlldwood was fixed
at $3.50.
"When vou (Inure the great difference
in the mileage between these resorts It
can be seen that Cape May and Wild
wood received very fair treatment."
Mr. DiT.onir asserted that If Wlld
wood, Cape May and other Smith Jersey
"resorts enjoyed a winter tourist busi
ness the railroads would not suspena
the so-called tourist ticket schedule on
Sentrmber 30.
"Those resorts do not enjoy a winter
tourist business," said the rennsyivania
official, "and from September 30 until
May 16 are classed with ordinary com-
, merclal or residential communities. That
means that nothing but .one-way tickets
are sola ana on uie uasis oi uurw wma
per mile. That is the , universal rate
of fare."
Railroad administration officials In
Washington have promised to make an
Investigation of the South Jersey pro
test and adjust schedules, if the In
vestigation discloses that distant resorts
are being subjected to discrimination.

TRY TO HARMONIZE
ON CITY FUNDS PLAN
"Get Together" Is Slogan of
Experts in Budget
Tangle
Charged with the attempted murder
of Charles Freesc, wealthy coal dealer,
sixty years old, of Xorrlstown, Pa.,
Jarncs Roan, a negro, twenty years old,
of Norrlstown, was returned to that city
today for trial by order of Magistrate
Meclcary.
According to the Norrlstown police,
Freese, who Is owner of the Tcnn Coal
Company, was assaulted In his offices
by John Lowls, a negro, who struck him
with a hammer several times. Roan,
who was with Lewis at tho time. Is al
leged by the police to have planned the
attempted' murder and robbery and to
have furnished Lewis with the hammer
used In tho assault.
Frceso Is now In the Charity Hospi
tal, Norrlstown, where lie Is expected to
die.
Tho pollco version of the assault has
It that Roan entered tho coal dealer's
office and ordered somo coal. While
Freeso was verifying his addrers In the
directory Lewis approached him from
behind and' knocked hlrh unconscious
with the hammer. The two negroes then
ransacked the office, but failed to find
anything of value. Lewis was arwted
shortly after the attack, while Roan,
tho police say, fled to Philadelphia.
At the hearing today Roan denied all
knowledge of the crime and protested
against being sent back to Norrlstown.
Ringing Awakens Resetters of
Lansdnlc Family, Threatened
hy Gas Deaths
Six persons worn saved from as
phyxiation early yesterday by tho
ringing of an nlarm clock.
Fumes from a leaking gas pipe had
almost filled the home of Mr. and Mrs.
William Reese, 610 Broad street, Lans
dalc, whllo tho family wcro asleep,
when tho alarm clock began rinsing.
It awakened Howard and William,
ons employed at a nearby foundry. As
tlicy roso both fell to the floor, un
conscious. Mr. Rceso heard tho fall
and, though nlmost overcome, he
cr.twlcd Inlo their room and saved
thulr lives by opening tho windows.
Mrs. rtpeso, though 111, could move
about. The daughters, Hattlo and
largaret, wcro unconscious. They, and
the sons wcro later rovlved.
Virtually ull members of the family
aro suffering from tho effects of In
baling tho gas.
Dally conferences are being held by
city officials and others Interested In
obtaining a revised budget system of
municipal financing. Clly Solicitor
Connelly's office has been the sceno of
a number of the get-together efforts.
Chairman Oaffrjey, of Councils' Finance
Committee, and others nro scheduled for
further conferenco tomorrow.
The suggestion to shorten the period
from five to two years as a basis of
striking an average estimate of a suc
ceeding year's Income has started dis
cussion. During the last five years the
excess of revenues shows quite a diver
gence of figures and It Is to permit a
closer cstfrnate that the shortening of
tho term has been suggested. The ex
cess amounts each year were used al
most entirely to meet deficiencies, so tho
differences were not actually as great
as the figures show.
Opposition has also developed to a
change from a cash to a rcvonuo basis
for computing tho estimated revenues
for succeeding years. Tho present plan
for using loan funds early In the year
to finance current obligations has proved
satisfactory to city flnanclers,ind the
revision plan to disturb' this method Is
meeting with opposition at the hirtids
of a number of the conferees.
Whether the provisions of cither of
the two measures can bo passed In their
entirety Is a question for the Legisla
ture. Stories of a compromise have been
abroad' for weeks, but have been denied
by those interested in passing the char
ter revision bill as It was submitted,
Including the financing scheme advo
cated by the Bureau of Municipal Research.
