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."

Motor Vehicle Inspectors Round Up
Twenty-five Bright Light Violators
Three Camden motor chicle Inspec
tors made a general roundup of twenty -five
violators of the law regulating
front light dimmers on automobiles.
The inspectors operated on Haddon
avenue, Federal street, and Whitehorsc
pike. The violators were taken to the
Camden police headquarters and thei
paid securities of R25 to appear before
Recorder St'ackhouse.
The roundup was the result of num
erous complaints which have come to
the State Department concerning the
neglect of automobile owners to dim
their blinding front lights according to
specifications of law. Recently, num
erous accidents have been traced to this
neglect.
The inspectors who made the ar
rests were Roy Lanning, John Donohoe,
nnd Charles Pedegree.
Among the Philadclphians arrested
were Daniel Woodrow, 2214 Locust
street, no New Jersey license; Dr. Isa
dor T. Strlttmattcr, 009 North Sixth
street, no dimmers; Albert Moll, 2050
Roschill street, no license; Rover C.
Clay, C540 Media street, no dimmers ;
Joseph Felice, 1511 South Cleveland
street, no license nnd no dimmers;
Alexander S. Tasoti, 1345 South Grove
street, no dimmers and G. II. Burns,
220 West Tabor road, no dimmers.
t'nder cross-examination by William
Anderson, attorney representing the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, Walter
H. 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.
Samuel M. Clement, Jr., was commis
sioner who heard the evidence.
Action was filed against the Dela
ware county company, as a matter of
fact, only a few days after Johnson
visited them, hoping to win them over
to his views. As presented, the com
plaint of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion alleges unfair nnd discriminatory
rates for electricity furnished the Hog
Island plant, under a proposed new
schedule which supplants that made iu
1017. .
The rates quoted the government for
an enormous consumption of current at
Hog Island, It Is clnlmcd, arc virtually
the same as those quoted to small
plants using n very small amount.
Today's hearing will consist of evi
dence offered in rebuttal by the Dela
ware county concern. The prosecu
tion had previously presented its case.
Another case booked for today will be
that of J. J. Shubcrt Companj. of
this city, against the Philadelphia Elec
tric Company, alleging unjust and un
fair rates for power and light.
