"I have good reasons for asking this
question," declared Mr. Lewis. "May
I have permission to tell you what my

Chnlrman AInev replied It was not
necessary, Mr. Dunbar then was ex
cused. The next witness was It. II. Horton,
traffic manager of the llapld Transit
Co. He reviewed the number of pas

ating the substitution of exchange

I Tells of T-'conomles
Mr. Horton. skipping swiftly through
I a maze of figures, showed how the es
timated total of $:i.00O,O00 additional
revenue could be obtained. He said he
believed the estimate conservative.
"Hao there been any economies In
I the handling of traffic?' Mr. liallard
' asked.
"Many," the witness replied.
1 "These economies have been continuous
' since Mr. Mitten took charge. In
i.Tanuarj, 1012, n force wns gathered
i together for a study of traffic condi
tions. I "This continued for a year nnd In
Ma, T.ll.'l, a comprehensive rerouting
was begun. This lasted until October

Speed Has Heen Incrensed
"This being the case, the more miles
covered in that hour the better. Con
sequent! the speed of the cars has
received attention. The ncrngo speed
was eight miles nn hour in HMO, while
now it is nine miles nn hour.
Mr. Ttallard asked if the economics
ns outlined formed the reason for the
comp.ui 's nbilitj to maintain the five

"Those economics were responsible,"
Mr. Horton icplled.

"Second, we now receive Sl.'sOO.OOO

folly to lose a part of that which we
now have.
"Third, there is n point of justice iu
olved. It costs more to handle the

The direct rider has been pajiug a part

SKYROCKET STARTS FIRE
Mother and Two Children Rescued

Mrs Rebecca Rookfor nnd tier two
children, Anna, ten years old, and
Charles eight year old, were carried
down a ladder to the street by firemen
when their home nt 1310 Ilnlnbrldge

shortly after midnight.
The mother nnd ricr children were
asleep xvhen tho flro started. They
were awakened by tho smoke pouring
into their sleeping room. With her
two children, tho woman tried to es
cape bv the stairs, but found the smoke
too dense. They ran to the windows
nnd shouted for help.
An nlnrm had been fumed in by
neighbors who saw the smoke, and fire
men hastened to the old of the three.
A ladder xvus raised and the three car
ried down. Mrs. Rookfor nnd her
daughter were little the worse for their
experience, nut the toy was mime in
by the smoke and hnd not fully re
covered several hours later.
Mrs. Rookfor estimated the damngo
to her stock at $1)000. The fire was
confined to the store.

IN INTEREST BILL
Council's Financo Committee
Approves Redraft of Ordinance
Govornlng City Deposits
M'-COACH FIGHTS CHANGE
City Council's finance committee this
afternoon approved n redraft of the Mc
Coach ordinance to regulate tho rate ot
interest paid by city depositories and
the requirement of n surety bond to bo
furnished by banks receiving city funds.
The redraft of the ordinance xvns pro
pared by Joseph P. Gaffney, former
chairman of the old Councils finance
committee and n member of the pres
ent finnnco committee. The original
ordlnnncc provided thnt the banks
should pay an Interest rate of 3 per
cent, and furnish bond to tho same
amount ns the amounts on deposit.
Tho redraft by Mr. Gaffney retains the
same interest rate of 3 per cent, but
leaves it to tho option of n committee
composed of the Mayor, tho city con
troller nnd the city treasurer whether a
bond 'shall bo required. Tho bonds ac
ceptable will be city bohds, bonds of
tho state of Pennsylvania, or United
States bouds.
Mr. McConch said ho hollcved 'all
banks should be required to furnish
bonds. Mr. Dcvclin suggested thnt
since the city hns never lost any great
amount of nionev, it might bo possible
to take n blonket surety nt a low rate.
Webster P. Wcthcrlll, president of
the Aldlno Trust Co... one of several
bankers who discussed the ordlnnncc,
nsserted that the city's funds xvould be
safer xvithout the bond of a surety
company, arguing thnt the surety com
pany itself might not under all circum
stances be dependable. '
rWillitim R. Nicholson, president of
the Land Title nnd Trust Co., chnr
ncterieil the ledrnft ns u "mnstcr
pieee." The ordinance will go into effect, if
passed, October 1. 1020. Council will
net ou the ordinance at its meeting to-
monow.

Constantinople, July 0. Greek
troops have swept tlio country west of

as Adramit. They also have landed
large forces at Clmrdek on tho Darda
nelles. Consequently, they expect to
cllminntc the Turks from the province
of It I glut shortly.
Tho Greek advance was so rapid and
unexpected that tho Turks were nimble
to destroy tho railway, which, with its
rolling stoek, was left intact. Dyna
mite had been placed under some
bridges, but the Nationalists were In
so great panic that the charges were
not exploded. Their retreat was in
such disorder that tlie Greeks easily in
flicted great losses upon them and took
many prisoners, with few casualties
among themselves.
In the Haloukesaar-Pundorma dis
trict tho Circassian leader, Anzevtuir
Pasha, lias 'a large following which
supported tlie sultan's government, but
was unable to resist the Nationalists
because of lack of military support from
the Constantinople government. As o

severe punishment from tho National
