take over. the operation of tin" ship
yards after the movement gained suffi

SIX COMPANIES CALLED

hampered firemen -nf six fire companies
called out last night to fight a spec
tacular lire at the home of Harry
(Hour Smith, Klkins Park Manor. Two
firemen, one n department chief, were
overcome bv smoke. They are:
William II. Snyder, elder, Old York
road Fire Company.
.Iiilm Nift rotter, fireman, Old York
Itoad Tire Company.
The lire, caused by a defective Hue,
was discovered by Mr. Smith shmtly
before 10 o'clock. The family had
been out for the evening and the
flames had a fair headway before being
discovered. An alarm was sent to the
Old York Iload Fire Company.
The high wind caused the flames to
spiead, despite the. efforts of the fire
men, anil Chief Sn.vdcr sent calls for
help to neiuby towns. Two companies
fioni .leukliitovvn. two fiom McKinley
and one from l.lanercli responded. The
six companies fought the lire for two
hniust.
Firemen Unable to Get at Flames
The blaze had started between -the
ceiling and the root of the building,
a frame and stone structure, and nin-t
of the time the firemen were unable
to get at it properly without chopping
through "the roof.
Farly in their light against the blaze
thev were hampered by ice forming on
the' roof. The high wind fnnued the
Humes, and for a time threatened neign
boring property. Fljing sparks threat
ened the home of D.ivld A. l'crro
neaiby, which was saved by the lire
men's efforts.
The Smith home is sitnat - on the
lop of a hill on West View road, and
the blaze, which rapidly developed into
a spectacular affair, attracted thou
sands of residents of the section.
Nittiouer was overcome while light
ing the fire under the loot inside the
building. He was taken out, treated
on the scene, then at a 'nearby drug
store, and finally sent home iu it serious
conditio)!.
Chief Overcome Saving (icms
Chief 'Sn.vdcr wns overcome while
saving money and valuable jewelry be

CONSIDERS FRANKFORD 'L'
The city, through Director Twining,
nf the Department of Transit', will go
on record today ns opposing the propo
sitions advanced by Thomas F. Mitten,
president of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Co., for completing nnd oper
ating the Frankford elevated and for
releasing the company from financial
obligations incurred in the 1007 lease.
Director Twinicg. at a meeting of
Councils' comniittccs on finance and
street uiilways, will not only oppose
tlie Mitten plans, but will submit sug
gestions in the way of counter-proposals
coming fr.'lom the city.
Mayor Smith lias been consulted by
Director Twining, mid it is understood
that the city's attitude will be one of
opposition to most of the provisions of
Hie scheme to abolish exchange tickets
iu all sections of the city.
A number of business and civic asso
ciations nre on record as opposing the
lelease of any city income to the com
pany anil- representatives of these bod
ies will join with Director Twining in
opposing the two major suggestions of
the company.
In placing themsdves on record ns
opposing the relinquishment ot city

Hi,, nrirnii zntlnns strike at the tunua-

Tlie United Huslness .Men s Associa
tion, while .favoring that part of tic
Mitten improvement plan which calls
for a clinnge of the tracks around City
Hall, has gone on rccoid as being un
alterably opposed to any proposition
that will deprive the city of revenue
or insure to the underlying transit
companies revenues at the expense of
municipal income.
Director Twining will make public
for tho first time plans for early com
pletion that have been worked out by
Ills department.
Members of Councils familiar with
tho need of revenue for the city will

expressed themselves as opposed to giv

"Some of my friends have been kind
