Hvery claim advanced lv the Rapid
Transit Co. to support Its request for
higher fares is to he scrutinized by
experts employed bv the city.
An ordlnnnce appropriating money
for the emnlnyment of transit experts
Is now under preparation. This move.
It Is said, will prolong the proceedings
before the Public Service Commission,
which begin here next Tueday.
The transit company agreed (o post
pone its proposed nbolltlon of free
transfers nnd iti refusal of exehnngn
tickets in the central delivery pvstem
pending (he outcome of public hear
ings by the commission.
The Public Service Commission tfas
nearly ended its Inventory of the Hnpld
Transit Company s property. State
ments of valuation have heen checked
up by the commission's engineers. The
city administration now Intends to add
a rheck of its own to the company's
clnlnis and will fight to make the com
pany prove the proposed increases nrc
rcnonnble.
West Philadelphia business men's
organizations will be among those that
will oppose the fare increase plnnncd by
the Philadelphia Ilanld Trnnsit Co.
Tlonrosentativcs of these organizations,
it Is predicted, will lie called bv the
eltv when nrotest aealusl the advance
In fares is heard before tho Public
Service Commission hero next Tuesday.

line, declnre that service on this line Is
wholly Imideriuate to the demands of
the people. Complaints and nppenln to
the corrpnny have heen in ntn. it is
said, and spores of riders hnve stopped
using the line altogether for the reason
that tin dependence could be placed on
Its schedules, they say.
Similar complaints hnve been made
ncalnst the Mnrket street surface line.
This line Is used by n large number of
persons who desire to reach points
which nre some distance from stations
on the elevated line.
That the Itnpld Trnnsit Co. Intends
to stand by its decision of charging full
faro for children moie tiinn thirty-one
Inches In height is evident by the fact
that the white line nt the renr of every
trolley car has not been removed. Of
flcinls of the company say the "yard

on nccount of the tendency of many

Alfred V. Ulchardnp, twenty-five

Richardson, who is employed as n

The mnclilne drew up opposite Klch

men in flic car jumped nut. innr cups
drawn low over their faces.
The man In front hnd a revolver and
he ordered Hichardson to "stick his

"Stick whnt hands up?" pnrrled the
youth, sparring for time.
Another of the gnng said to ine rouoer
with the gun: "Shoot him hit him."
'Tou're yellow," Richardson taunted
fliem. "You're n vellnw bunch."
Mcnnwhilo ho hnd backed against the

it. He wnrded off the blow, but his
wrist was scraped and bruised.
"Give me the gun. I'll shoot him,"
snid nnother of the rohhers.
People nil nroiind put their bends out
of the window. Itichnrdson begged some
one to throw him down n revolver.
"Throw me n gun down," he asked.
"They're yellow dogs anyway."
No ono came to his aid, and as the
men nresscd close he mixed it with
them. He wns hitting right nnd left

"Reat it, fellows," nnd the crowd
climbed in nnd they drove off.
Richnrdson took the girl Home nnd

forenoon.
This clty"s right to forbid the snlc of
"harmless" sparklers which have al

this afternoon by Judges RogerB and
Stern in Common Plena Court No. 2.
It took exnetly ten minutes for the
jurists to dismiss nn application for an

The Injunction was designed to pre
