Kdgar Walters, the negro cliauffcur who Is believed tn have driven Klwell home from the Kicgfcld Midnight Frolic, wns one of those questioned in the dis trict attornpy's office. Ho asserted pos itively that the passenger he took from the thentrc to tho -hotisp nt 214 West Rpicntioth street nt about '2 o'clock on the morning of the murder was attired tn street clothes, while Blwell is known to hnvc worn evening clothes. He also asserted thnt this man purchased no morning pnper on the way home, while Elwell is known to have purchased n morning paper which later was found In his room, lie said he believed his pas senger had at first naked for 204 West Seventieth street, and that nrrivlng there he hnd snid: "This Js not. the right .house. I wnnt the house two doors I tho other side of the lug npnrtment residence. Wnlters described his passenger ns "tall. Blim, clean shaven and 11 little hit nervous." If every detail of this cliauffcur s story Is correct it could mean but one thing that a tall, slim, clean-shaven nnd Bomcwhat nervous man, attired In street clothes, had been shadowing El well at thp midnight show nnd thnt when Elwell hailed a taxi and went homo this other man had hailed tho ve hicle driven by Walters and hnd headed for tho same place : also that he was not quite sure of the address, but knew the Elwell house r.ither by location. The chauffeur was asked If he ever had seen this passenger before, and he said he was under the impression thnt he hnd tnken the same mnn from the Zeigfeld Midnight Frolic to nn nddress on Sixty-seventh street just off of Fifth avenue, a few nights cnrlier.

This with the 500.000 from the property sales nnd the available $240. 000 makes a total of approximately ,S1 .400,000. Tills may vary from $100, 000 to $150,000 less. From this total there should be de ducted $200,000 for increase in the salaries of the non-teaching force which will leave over n $1,100,000 or M available for increased salaries of the I nn nil n.B But the property described above must be sold, nnd the loan, which is only in contemplation, must be negotiated in tho mnrket. The Land Title nnd Trust Co. has of fered to advance $500,000 iu anticipa tion of the sale of the school property provided indivadunl members, of the board of education will gunranteo the company ngainst loss. This responsi bility it declines to assume. It is definitely understood, however, that this stumbling ldock can be re moved nnd the deal nrrnnged satisfac torily. To give each tear her an advance of $400 will require a fund of $2,400,000. as indicated above, nnd tho source of this, up to the present, members of the board say, has not been indicated b ! Mr. Bok and his committee. 1 A member of the board was intcrro- gated ns to the possibility of a loan to 1 raise the additional $1,000,000. This !t wns Pintpd, was nnpossiBlp because express. juiuiuue,, unncr ine scnooi Inws ot tne state Another member suggested that ner- haps Mr. Bok could organize a syndi cate of bankers and business mpn who would bo willing to ndvauce $1,000,000 contingent upon the Legislature of 1021 passing nn act to reimburse them for the advance Such a bill would huvo an exceedingly stormy pass-age in the Legislature, if it passed at all. Other school districts iu the state would object and the danger of such an expedient in csatblishing n precedent, would be the main abrrlcr raised against it. Report Is Discussed The reply of Simon Gratz to Mr. Bok's letter on the subject of raising the necessary funds was the basis of the discussion today This report was re ceived und discussed at the meeting of the tlnupce cummiir.ee of Tuesday last. Mr. Gratz is opposed to any piecemeal proposition If there is to be an ad vance in salary he urges that all teachers share equally ; not giving u few a large ndiaucc, others a tritle and some none at all. Another Philadelphia institution, the Philadelphia Savings Fund, has offered to advance the $700,000 in anticipation of tho amount to be taken from tho $2,000,000 loan when negotiated. The fact that the time sot by the citizens' committee beaded by Mr. Bok rxpind on Tuesday is not considered by the board ns ending tho dilemma. Mr. Bok will, it is understood, be invited to preueut his plant for raising the nbount of n $1,000,000 additional, above the $1,100,000 that can be made available shortly. Exception Is Taken It is pointed out that with the deduc tion of an additional $200,000 for the nonteaching Mnff, the sum available would still bo inadequate to meet the teachers' demands for a ilat increase of $100 each Excveption is taken in the report to n statement in Mr. Bok's letters to members of the board that his commit tee had "pointed out the way" for raising the sum needed. If it is decided to go ahead on the basis of tho plan suggested above, the teaching and supervising staff will be assuied of an increase amounting, as slated, to between $175 nnd $200 each. Tho clerical and other forces will also receivo an advance, but not as lartje in proportion. It might not be Immedi ately available, owing to the proceed ings necessary to arrange for tho loans, but the amount will at least bo guaran teed foi payment bv th. onenlne of th Uchool term in ihe fait' . . HALL HAS TRAFFIC PLAN Councilman Would CUt Streets Through City Hall Plaza Councilman Charles B. Hall an nounced today that he has n plnn for relieving traffic congestion around City Halt by cutting through the Public Buildings. This plan would result in enabling traffic to pass directly north nnd south on Brond street, without going nroUnd the Hall, and. likewise, traffic could run directly cast and west on Market street without the long run around tho plaza. "Mv thought." said the councilman from South Philadelphia, "nims at re lieving congestion and restoring the beautiful vista of Broad street. I would cut throtioh Broad street and nlso Mar ket street, making four buildings out of the present City Hall. Each of the four could be bridged, and If we have a City Hall annex nearby these four buildings could he connected by a tun nel." "My thought Is help 1.. working out .1 program which will, to a Inrgc ex tent, remove the pile of public build ings as the great obstacle in the center of tho city. This obstacle halts de velopment and impedes traffic. I am moved to mako the suggestion as to cutting through the Hall by the edi torial In the EvnruNO Public Ledoeh, "Therefore, lot us try to work out this problem so that wc can get the results we are after and at the samo time confino within accessible limits tho various units In the public building group." URGEDTO RATIFY Suffrage Amondment Critically Important, President Tolls Governor BICKETT DISLIKES MEDICINE By the Associated Press TWaslilnglon, June 25.

If you strike it with a sledge it will fracture like glass. And yet in time it will sort of melt down like molasses. Rosin is called a viscous substance, and while it would be impolite to call the public the same thing, its action is something akin. Some advertisers have attempted, with the sudden application of a large advertising appro priation and sledge hammer messages, to change the public immediately in its habits. In despair, at the seemingly impenetrable and unalterable character of our people, they have quit in disgust. Time is a wonderful element in national adver tising. Not only is time an essential in the success of a new campaign; it is the chief asset of protection for an old campaign.
