Boyce Has Not Yet Con sulted Lawyer Regarding Move to Cancel His Contract WATERWORKS HARD PRESSED B Y HOT WEATHER'S DEMANDS Children Opening Fire Hydrants Add to Difficulties, Making It Impossible to Accumulate Reserve Necessary E SALARY PAYMENT STOPPED 2:W0MEN INTERNES AT "UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL Graduates of U. of P. Medical School Are Appointed; They ., Are Pleased With Positions Two young women graduates of the T.'ntverslty of Pennsylvania Medical School have been appointed internes at the University Hospital. They nro the first graduates to make application for the places and the first to be accented, although there has been no prejudice against accepting women internes. The appointees are Kliznbeth Glen, of Kfankford, nnd Elizabeth Ford, of Moorcstown, N. J. "Of course I am proud to be one of the first two women in the University Hospital," said Miss Glen, as in crisp white she faced the reporter, "nnd I en joy it here. I expect to practice in Frankford when I complete my service." Miss Glen graduated from Vassar in 1015 and immediately took her four years' cpursc at I'cnn. Miss Ford, a 'Wellcsley girl of the 914 class, is also proud to have "landed," although she hasn't nnything especial to say about it. The matter of ethics has offered its problems for the young women, for they could not sleep in the uurscs home that being unethical nnd, of course, they had to have special provisions made for them In the hospital quarters. "For that reason we have been glad there have been no applications pre viouslr. says Doctor Pepper, "al though there is no reason why women should not be admitted." George W. , C. Boyce against whom Mrs. Kathcrine Howell Pettit has brought suit to terminate an agreement made in January of this year has not yet consulted with his attorney. Horace 'M. Schell, of this city, regarding .the case. , Mrs. Pettit has just brought suit to set aside the agreement which wbb signed in January. This agreement called for an immediate payment of something like $1400 and future pay ments of $1000 n month until tne total amount of $18,000 was paid. The $18,000 was agreed to by both Boyce and Mrs. Pettit, accordftg to Mr. Rchell, as settlement of numerous con tracts covering several years and which otalcd approximately $54,000 to Boyce's credit. To Drive Autos According to statements of the pre vious contracts Boyce was expected to drive the automobiles of Mrs. Pettit, accompany her to dinners and the theatre and perform such other duties as might be expected of a "companion." These duties, according to Mrs. Pettit, Boyce did not perform. She further alleges in other affidavits that the agree ment was signed under pressure. The law office of John C. Bell acted for Mrs. Pettit In the Januaty agree ment and. Sir. Schell for Boyce. Sev eral witnesses were present when the agreement was signed. "Bovce is a sort of handy man gen erally," says Mr. Schell. "He could run an automobile or n yacht and look after machinery. Mrs. Pettit left every thing to him. If she wanted to go away on a trip she got him to buy the tickets and so on. "Mrs. Pettit has an income from the. estate 'of her husband. In the Januaty agreement, the payments were to be made to Boyce through the Girard Trust Company direct. In ten days the pajmcut was due, but Mrs. Pettit, in the meantime had notified the trust company not to pay." ' Following this refusal to carry out the terms of tiie agreement, a suit was instituted by Boy;c to sustain the terms of the agreement. Bojce has not been working for Mrs. Pettit since she re fused to make uayments. When Mr. Hell was asuea concern -inc the case ho said that John Thlel. connected with his office, had handled the January agreement. Mrs. Pettit has left the Hotel AVinde- merc and is now at Ardmore. The orescnt suit which she Is bringing to annul the contract Is being handled for her by n New York lawyer. The exceptionally heavy demand made of the winter system by the hot wenther use of water Jn homes was aug mented the last few days by the open lug of scores of fire hydrants by youngsters seeking a cooling. Police co-operation to prevent this has accomplished a diminution of the practice, but has not prevented nil boys from enjoying water intended for other purposes. t Yesterday the demand was at the ca pacity murk, the consumption for the twenty. four hours being 320,000,000 gallons. Today, with the heat contin uing, Chief Davis, of the Water Bu reau, expected an even greater con sumption. Complaints from manufacturers nnd householders have reached the Wnter Bureau because of the inability of pay ing users to get adequate service. So far the unusual demand has been met, and Chief Davis said today that the pumps and equipment were holding up remarkably well under the steady capacity strain. He hopes that the hot rpell may be of short duration to enabla him to procure a tcscrva supply for the next period of unusual demand. Aside fiom the East Pnrk reservoir, the Water Bureau has little water in reserve. SpeaKing of n possiuic re serve. Chief Davis said : "The water in the East Park reser voir is three feet low just now, and it Is our main dependence In case of trouble. Tie Queen Linne reservoir at best has only a six-hour supply for the section it is called upon to aid, while other reserve 'supplies arc no greater. The police have sent out their usual order against the opening ot lire hydrnuts, and this Is having some effect. "It is mighty hard to keen the young sters In bounds, as in many (jases the parents are as bad as the boys, lowers, according to complaints received, aid and nbet jounesters, nnd some one hns to suffer. "I have on my desk a complaint from a manufacturer on Pine street near the Schuylkill river, who said that yesterday from his windows he saw boys opening nnd using five fire lmlrauts near his establishment. The result he Said was to rcducf his supply of water to near the vanishing point. "We arc doing nil possible to keep the supply -up to demand and If nothing happens we hope to pull through with out much complaint. The use of lire hydrants should be stopped, but It ap pears n hard thing to drill into the minds of the people when tha, mercury soars toward the 100 mark."

Johnson, president of the Delaware County Electric Company and vice president of the Philadelphia Electric Company, admitted at a Public Serv ice Commission hearing today that he had tried and failed to get Hog Island officials not to fight a new proposed rate for power.

Shubcrt Companj. of this city, against the Philadelphia Elec tric Company, alleging unjust and un fair rates for power and light.
