"A liberal reward for good servlco
to the end that management nnd la

Interest of tho community and not
to the cxolusivo interest of capital
or the company.
"A volco by the city In matters
relating to service."
The Rapid Transit Co. must either
obtain an increased faro or reduce its
capital charges if tho company is to con
tinue solvcntand if adequate public
service is to" bcKlvcn,
This summarizes nn analysis of flic
local transit situation in tho 1010 re
port of tho Department of City Transit,
just made public by Director Twining.
Prepared prior to tho report to Coun
cil last Tuesday by the city's represent
atives on the transit company's board
of directors, the departmental report to
day likewise urges a valuation of the
company's existing facilities.
"Tho company has been required to
raskc large and frequent Incrcnsqsin
wtres during tho last year," Director
Timing's report stated, "and the time
is undoubtedly nenr fthen, if the com
pany is-to- providetth,Q,erxlQowhich'the
public ha a ylgUt tq expect, .it .will find
It most dl(Bcult,'to conHnuoto meet Its
present capital charges with th'e present
fare.
Will Protest Fare Jtlse
"It will then be necessary either to
raise the fnres- or reduce tho capital
rharges. The patrons of the lines will
strongly object to paying higher fares
while the company is overcapitalized.
The compnny will endeavor to nrocure
n raise in fares without a valuation of
the property or will urge that the vnluo
of the property substantiates the fixed
charges which aro now paid.
"As there is little prospect of a re
turn to pic-war operating costs, tho
provision by the comnanv .of ndcaunta
service will n nil likelihood bring it
face to faco with u financial crisis such
as m many other companies have facid
during the last two or three years.
"It will then be the company's prob
lem to substantially Increase its reve
nues, and it will apply to the Public
Service Commission for permission to
increase fares."
The application for an Increased fare,
foreeas't by Director Twining when
writing the report, was made by the
company Juno 1. At that time the
eompaiiy filed a tariff which abolishes
all free transfers and drops' three-cent
exchange privileges in tho central bec
tlon. Will Yield $3,000,000
Thomas E. Mitten, president of the
lompany, estimates that tho new tariff
would yield $3,000,000 additional rev
enue. The report to Council last Tues
day contained n warning that the
Mitten "no transfer" plan was the
forerunner of n zone fare system for
this eltv.
Director Twinlng's report contains
u rreunimenanuons lor tne new city
administration In which ho has been re
tained as transit department head.
Ills recommendations are :
Urst. Artont n doflnlfn nnllxv no

Philadelphia, with a population of
1,823,158, 'easily holds Its place as the
third largest city in the country.
Tho official census figures, showing
that this city is outdistanced only by
New York nnd Chicago, were made pub
lic today.
The 102 census shows tlmt Phila"
uviiiw BHIUVU " t " i--i
during the lost decade, an increase of
17.7 per cent.
Dcspito the remarkable jump of De
troit, now tho fourth largest city In
the country, Philadelphia holds third
ploco by almost n million population.
Details of the census hnvo not been
mado public, so it Is impossible to tell
to what agency the big jump is credited,
but war mechanics and negro labor
were big lactors.
Tho announcement of Philadelphia's
figures completes those of the first ten
cities. New York had a rate of in
crease approximately the same as this
city, (juicago n little mgncr.
Third Since 1800
Philadelphia has held the rank of
third city since 1800. It was 'second
in the first federal census In 1700.
New York was first.
''Just my estimate." was E. .7.
Cattell'n comment. He Is tho city
statistician. "I said all along the lig
urcs would show about 1.850.000. dc
snlto the statements of business men.
who hhould know better, that it might
run as high as 2,2f0,000.
', ihey fallcd-to,. take into account
the influenza. -Wby.Jln I018vthe births
nnd deaths about balanced, when we
should have had nn increase of 15,000.
And we lost about 110,000 during the
war."
The taking of the census began Fri
day. January 2. and 182U paid census
takers were on the Job in Philadelphia.
The enumeration of the city's popula
tion took about two weeks, and the
workers were paid thrco cents a name.
Robert J. Keegan was appointed su
pervisor of the census for the Philadel
phia district.
The census in Philadelphia, as else
where throughout the country, was made
in compliance with a constitutional pro
vision which requires that the people
of tho country, men, women nnd chil
dren, be counted every ten years. This
was tho lourtcenth decennial census.
First Count In 1700
Noses were counted officially in Phil
adelphia under tho constitutional pro
vision for the first time In 1700. In
that first census of the United States,
thero were only 3,020,214 persons enu
merated in the entire country. Accord
ing to figures prepared by William It.
Merrlam, formerly federal director of
tho census, New York city was the most
populous municipality in the United
States, with 83,131 iuhnbltnnts. Phlla
delphin ranked second with 28,522; Kos
tou third, with 18,320. Another esti
mate gives Philadelphia county 5A.301.
Nino months were allotted for the
making of the first census. The actual
enumeration of the people of the United
States occupied about tv;o weeks in
the present census and tfie tremendous
work of tabulating, done by cards
worked through a mae'.unc which oper
ates with almost lnunun intelligence,
has been accomnllsh.-d In four months.
The census of 1700, though the first
taken under nathnal auspices, was not
the first time or counting of the people
of Philadelphia even officially. When
the British ccupied the city In 1777,
Lord Howp-ordercd that the people bo
enumeratd. The total was set at 23,-
731. IJtimates of population had been
made as far back ns 1083, when, there
wer supposed to bo but 500 peoplo In
Philadelphia. The chtiuiatc for the suc
ceeding year jumped to 2500, to 4500
In UUU, to U70U in li-u, to io,ou in
1700. The next figures compiled were
those of Lord Howe's mllltnry census.
The first census or the new repuuuc
wns not accomplished without difficulty
ami even active opposition. This op
position was Irom religious motives,

RATES AT MELROSE
40 Residents Tell Public Service
Body Company Has Two
Tariffs in Suburb
SEEK PLACE IN PHILA. ZONE
More than two-scoro residents of
Melrose have entered complaint ngainst
the Rell Telephone Co. for alleged dis
criminative rates. The case is being
heard beforo Public Service Commis
sioner Clement nt City Hall.
Somo of the subscribers contend that
many residents hnvo n Philadelphia rate
while others are obliged to pay for serv
ice within Melroso and n toll rate for
servlco outside of Melrose.
Among the complainants arfc John
B. Stetson, Jr., Mrs. Anne T. Scrib
ner nnd James Bonner. Should the
company's alleged .discriminative rates
prevail tho complainants nsscrt they
would hnvo to have two telephones In
their Iiomcs, one for Melrose service
and another for cans outsiuo oi .uei
rose. Although no testimony was of
fered to this effect at today's session.
the plaintiffs assert they have been
told thnt the two-instrument plan would
have to be carried out.
Mrs. Scribncr in her complaint pre
viously presented contends thnt the area
nnd rate prescribed for tho Melroso
servlco are unreasonable, nnd she has
joined with tho others in n request to
be included in the Philadelphia area.
In some cases, tho complainants as
sert, one resident has n Melrose rate,
while his ucxtdoor neighbor has a Phil
adelphia rate.
The company's side of the controversy
was presented by its counsel, Robert
B. Marye, who reviewed the situation
and pointed out that the complaints, had
dated back for several years.
Alfred II. Austino, general commer
cial engineer for tho company, who
was called as a witness, said that some
time ago the Melrose subscribers re
quested to be classified asin the Phil
adelphia area, but in view of the In
creased expense nnd cost of maintenance
geiiernlly this request could hardly bo
granted.

President Told Award In Wage
Controversy Will Be
Expedited
CONFLICTING VIEWS HELD
BY MEMBERS, IS REPORT
Union Loaders Fear Negotia
tions Will Be Wrecked
by Deadlock
By tho Associated Press
Washington, June 24. President
Wilson has received a reply from the
railroad labor board in Chicago, prom
ising to expedite the award in the rail
road wage controversy. The message
was In reply to one sent by the Presi
dent. In announcing receipt of the telegram
White House officials declined to make
public tho text of the board's message.
Officials of the railroad brotherhoods
went to the White House 'to. urgothot
tho message bo given out, contending
thnt Its text would servo to allay In n
measuro tho unrest among railroad
workers.
Surveys of foodstuffs and other ne
cessities held up in transit as a result
of the railroad strike were ordered today
by Howard Figg, special assistant to
the attorney general. Every effort will
be made, Mr. Figg said, to moyc ne
cessities of liTo If It is found that any
great quantities arc held up and the
public's food supplies threatened.
Chicago, June 24. A well -confirmed
renort in circulation In lnbor circles to
day .said the railway labor board was
divided three ways on the wage con
troversy, the lnbor group holding out
for nn nward which both tne company
nnd public representatives thought ex
orbitant, nnd tne jjompnny group re
fusing to concedo nn award that the
public grcfiin held reasonable.
George W. Hanger, member of the
board representing tho public, said
today thnt there was nothing in the
present Bituntion to warrant the as
sumption that the board faced a dead
lock. There was every indication, he
said, that a satisfactory agreement
would be reached within a reasonable
length of time.
Union leaders here, however, were
not so optimistic. Tho brotherhood
men, who adopted a stand of passive
neutrality when theboard was created,
and later became openly hostile when
the decision was delayed, declared they
believed the board would be wrecked on
the samo deadlock tlmt ended Presideut
Wilson's nttempt to settlo tho railroad
problem last winter through another
tripartite organization.
Judge Barton, chairman of the board,
declined to comment ou this report. "It
takes time for nine rrien, representing
three different viewpoints, ta agree on
anything," he said.
R. R.STRIKERS GET
STEVEDORES' AID
Aid has been pledged the striking

this morning In Eogles Temple, lltoad
and Spring Garden streets, byt John
Hcmple. chairman of tho committee of

Hcmple said that the longshoremen
had given nssurnnce that they would

the rnilroads had acceded to the de
mands of tho railway employes here
nnd in other cities where the pre.-eiit
strike is on.

New 1'ork, June 24. Allan A. Ryan,
chnirman of the Stutz Motor Par Co..

with officials of the New York Stock
Exelmngo nt th time It was alleged

the governing rommittee, but Mr. Ryan
Issued the following :
"On June 10 Inst, in my answer to

A man nnswering the description of

Is being held for identification at Lake
City, Mich.
Department of Justice authorities
here are getting In touch with Lake
City officials to make, the identifica
tion certain or release the suspect.
Sheriff William Brown arrested the
suspect as he motored into Lake City
in company with another man. Tho
suspect Haiti he was George Puree, of
Toledo, O., and was in Michigan on a
fishing trip.
Desnite his story, the likeness he
bears to Bergdoll is said to be so
remarkable that he is being held for
positive proof of his identity. His
companion gave his name as Floyd
Palmer, also of Toledo.
The special federal grand jury In
vestigating the slacker's escape from
the military authorities is on its last
lap and probably will be concluded this
nfternoon.
No report Is expected until next
week. This Is due to the probers' wish
to debate the evidence offered nnd keenly
weigh it all before recommending any
Indictments nnd prosecutions.
Only four witnesses were scheduled
for testimony today. .They were T.- F,
Furey, a Baltimore automobile sales
man: Richard Schroedel, n garage
mechanic; Charles Krause, a friend and
mechanician for Bergdoll in his auto
mobile races, and John J. O'Connor,
the Department of Justice agent re
sponsible for Bergdoll's arrest for draft
dodging.
Furey's testimony furnished the real
surprise of the investigation. He was
in the jury chamber for almost four
hours, a longer period than any of the
other witnesses called.
He refused to reveal his testimony
nnd the federal authorities likewise kept
It secret. Furey Is said to have been a
close friend of Bcrgdoll's before the war.

Carter Glass Has Authority t,
Recall Ex-Secretary's Name
if Presented
By CLINTON V. GILBERT
Copvrloht, 1010, bu PulUe Ledoer Co. '
San Francisco, June 24. Senntof
Carter Glass, of Virginia, has arrived
here with nntlmrltr frnm former Hefl
rctary of the Treasury Wllllom G. Mef
Adoo to withdraw Mr. McAdoo's nam
in case It Is presented to the convention.
It Is not certain whether Mr. Glawi
will exercise this authority or perhaps
i u is octtcr to say, it is not certain
whether he will accede to Mr. McAdoo'n
i request to provent the convention frofll
considering Mr. McAdoo's nnmc. Met
nim m spite of his expressed wish not
to be nominnted. c
The McAdoo withdrawal, strengths
encd, ns it is by the Instructions to
Mr. Glass, furnishes the first-class mys
tery of the convention. Not mnnv del'

"ho is

be note I
gates have arrived, but those who
here take Mr. McAdoo seriously
candidate. Friends, like Senator
think that Mr. McAdoo will
innted in spite of himself. Those who '
nrc less friendly admit that the conven
tion, after being deadlocked between At?
torney General Palmer, Governor Cor
nnd other minor possibilities, will turi
to Mr. McAdoo, who will not be able to
refuse the nomination, once it has been
made. The majority of the press repr
Bentatives. here, who at this stage 6J
the convention outnumber the delegate
present ten to one, still regard Mr. Mc'.,
Adoo as the likeliest candidate. '
Something Happened
Nevertheless, circumstances indicatf
that something serious and unexpected
has happened to the McAdoo candidacy-.
It is impossible to say with Dcrteflk
certainty that Mr. McAdoo, up tiktU ftfl
a few days before hU statement hvJRtif , V-
York declining to allow his name tp.'f ,
before the convention, had Miycipfm;?
to have his candidacy presented to'
delegates, Mr. McAdoo had chosen1 Dan
iel C. Roper to represent him upon th
ground here. Mr. McAdoo had to be
consulted upon questions relating to the
'platform. Mr. Roper was to be hero
to speak for him. -
This plan of the ex-secretary was
known to his political friends less than
one week before the New York state
ment wns issued. Mr. McAdoo bad this
plan when he wns here In the West. Ha
discussed it with his friends nnd po
litical associates. His doing so Indi
cated thnt he had in mind at least a '
receptive enndidncy. He left the West
, nominated.
See Hand of Wilson A
The best guess to be rofl"dc here Is
that Presilent Wilson has 'in some way
indicated his unwillingness to hove his
son-in-law- nominated as his successor,
or ot 'east to" hove, him seek nomina
tion. People here recall the Presl;
dent's habitual btrfud against nepotism",
his objection to .the appointment of his
brother and other members of his family
to office. The best opinion here is that;
Mr. WlUou has Indicated in some way
a desire at. least that his son-in-law
should not openly seek the nomination
nnd slipuiQ, in fact, discourage its com
ing to htm. It is almost certain that
McAdoo'Vi present nttltude toward tho
nomination reflects the will of the Whits
House.
I Nothing else would account for the)
I suddenness of his change ot mind, hU
unmiiig of Koper to represent him here
nud then his sudden recalling of that
designation. Various reasons are afloatj
I uiii.li iiu llinf MiAilnn'u linullli nrlvnti(
him becoming a candidate. Rut there
bus been no sudden development with
record to his health. His bodily con
dition is what it has been for a long
time. No change in it would account
for the sudden recalling of Roper, and
the suggestion is that McAdoo has been.
hesitutiug for a long time whether or
not to be a candidato and that he sud
denly mude up his mind not to be, t
But McAdoo is not the kind of it
mnu to make up his mind two different
ways iu n week. And he certainly had
a few days before his New Yprk stnte,i
ment rondo up his mind to bo a candi
date and have n personal representative
here to shape the platform to suit hints
