Thomas B. Mitten told tbo Public Serv
ice Commission this afternoon.
The president of the company, In n
direct statement consuming nearly two
fcours, dwelt on what he said was an
imneratlve need for mor" revenue.
Tils declaration camo as a climax to
the second ray of the public hearing In
lie slate Supreme Court chamber In
City Hall after Assistant City Solicitor
Itoscnbaum had demanded of another
company official nn explanation 'for
$30,000,000 on whlcluthc company da

Referring to the "No transfer" plan
.deigned to add $3,000,000 to the com
pany's annual Income, Mr. Mitten
Mid:
"Dose Is Homeopalthlc"
- Tho ilnsn todav Is homeopathic. It
Is based on careful analysis. 'Without
the help which wo ask we must cut

"Vc must spend as little money In
Increased facilities as possible although
we had planned a 1020 winter sevnee
tetter than ever before."

"In this new tariff an experiment,"
asked Commissioner Clement. ,
"T would not say exactly that," Mr.
Mitten replied, "lint we do not wnnt
the public to think for one minute that
It Is necessarily suiucient. :sot by any
means."
1 Ttoscnbaum Cross. Examines
Mr. Itoscnbaum at once .began the
crosse.xnnilnntion of the transit com
l pany head.
"Mr. Mitten," he said, "In question
Ins j on I shall make no attempt to be
little the magnificent accomplishments
of jnur company. I shall confine myself
to the issues arising from your demand
for an increased fnre.
"Mr. Mitten," he continued, "will
j on explain more fully just -what you
meant when you said that when you
assmiTed the management of the com
pany in 1010 it was 'exploited largely
for the floating of securities'?"
.Mr. Mitten replied:
"An answer to your question goes
back to the das of the generul usscmbly
when llfty-ninc separate legislative
giants were given to traction com
panies, in many cases to companies
running parallel lines. From the best
Information I have from historical
reading, Philadelphia')! street railway
sjstem .as built up of n mess of street
car companies, maintained for profit
ami a iiiick turnover.'
Mr, Mitten added that It jvns ncccs
ary In take over them franchises In
order to perfect a solidified system. He
inferred to the granting at legislative
elinrters to the fifty-nine companies ns
"a mistake, culminating in a capital
isation which resulted ! the necessity
of paying 4!) per cent of the gross earn
inss." Charges Itcduced to 20 Per Cent

'"riie fact tlint the rentals were not

MAYOR FOR VETO OF
'Strongly Doprecatos HliFounded
Criticism That Places Coun
cil in Falso Light'
ROPER-AND BURCH JOIN
IN HIS STAND IN COUNCIL
Hall, Angered by Blocking of
Appropriation, Accuses Mooro
of 'Peanut Politics'
Mayor Mooro was taken to task at
this afternoon's session of Council by
one of the strongest of the administra
tion men, Councilman Dcvcllu.
Tho criticism of the Mayor by one of
his own adherents was because of the
executive's veto of the bill introduced
by Mir. Devolln to give a franchise to n
Broad street bus line.
Two other administration men
Councllmcn Burch nnd Roper con
curred In the criticism of tho Mayor's
uso of his ycto power.
Mr. Dcvelln'rcad his statement, as
follows :
"The Mayor totally misreads and has
put a wrong construction upon some
of the fundamental pnrts of tbo ordin
ance. The first error consists in the
reiteration that the company is to give
only .$7(100 for the privilege of using
Broad street in face of the fact that
the company agreed to pay C per cent of
It gross receipts.
$7500 Minimum Payment
"It is clearly stated beyond any pos
sibility of doubt that $7300 is the min
imum to be paid.
"It is difficult to understand the
entire confusion of the Mayor in inter
preting sections ten and eleven, ns their
language seems to be perfectly clear.
They are both intended for the pro
tection of the city. Section ten pro
vides for the restating of the terms of
the agreement at the end of ten years
if the city should conclude it could make
n better bargain with anbthcr com
pany, which would of course Include
the taking over of the physical pro
perty of the old company, so that In
till? contingency the city would not have
to take the property at all, although
technically tho title would pass through
the city into the new company.
"Section 11, is pointed out ns only to
be used in the event thnt public neces
sity should require the cessation of the
use qf tho.Btrec.tr-ond of this .the city
is to be'the sole judge.
"Thcr total franchise in this ordinance
is for the maximum limit of fifteen
years, and is the shortest ttnio that any
company would consider, and If that is
further lessened nt the instance of the
city fairness requires that some 'provi
sion should be made for relieving the
company of its "physical property at a
fair valuation.
"No Quarrel With Mayor"
"I have no quarrel with the Mayor,
and I would willingly defer to his better
judgment if he should rest his disap
proval of tho ordinance, upon the ground
that it is inexpedient to allow the pub
lic to use Broad street because of the
crowded condition of traffic on that
thoroughfare or otherwise : but I
strongly deprecate Ill-founded criticism
that places the Council in a false light
with tho public."
Councllmcn Roper nnd Burch con
curred In Mr. Dovclin's statement. Mr.
Burch said the Mayor's statement bad
been "horribly garbled." Mr. Roper
said tho Mnyor'j. criticism was not
merited.
Mayor Moore was threatened with
the penalty of "being wiped out ns
the head of the party" by Charles 11.
Hall. Varc leader.
This dire fato would nvcrtake the
Major, Mr. Hall promised, unless the
latter desisted froni "playing peanut
politics."
Tho Mayor was excoriated by Hall
during thcTdcbate on the Mayor's mes
sage' vetoing nn item in nn appropria
tion ordinance. Tho Item culled for
$7500 for tho department of the recorder
of deeds to pay extra clerk hire. The
Major vetoed the Item nlone of nu
merous Items appropriating money for
various city and county departments,
nnd offered ns his reason for doing so
tbn fact that the uso of the money was
not set out In detail, and therefore the
item violated the new city charter.
Calls Situation Unfortunate
nurlne tho debato Mr. Hall said: "It
is unfortunnto for tho city that tho
Mayor performs and continues to per
form these acts of peanut politics. A

Series of Hold-Up3
John Dalton, twenty-two years old,
of Sharon Hill, was held up nnd killed
(hortly nftcr midnight this morning by
throe robbers who hid behind a high
hedge surrounding the Dalton home nnd
calmly awaited their victim.
Dr. David Dalton, tho victim's father,
was aroused byvncighbors to attend his
own son, but tho young man died a few
moments before his -father reached his
side and identified him.
Tho attack occurred 100 yards from
tho Dalton home, Woodland nvcnuo and
Hook rond, In tho shndws. of tho Con
vent of the Holy Child.
Had Been Visiting Friend
Dalton was returning from the. home
of a friend He bad alighted from a
trolley car at tho Chester plko nnd
was hurrying along tho dimly lighted
street.
He stopped to chat n few minutes
with tho keeper of No. fl tollgate on the
pike nud then turned Into Hook road.
Within a few paces of the entrance
toM.ls home three men stepped from the
hedge nnd, it is believed, ordered him
to 'put up his hands.
There has been a scries of hold-ups
in Sharon Hill during the last few
weeks, nnd for this reason the young
man hnd armed himself.
As onp of the robbers shoved n re
volver in Dalton's fnee he made a move
as thouch to throw up his hnnds, and
then suddenly dropped bnck nud whip
ped out his own revolver.
Four Shots Heard
Four shptH were heard in rapid suc
cession by neighbors The shots echoed
through the halls of the old eoment,
and quickly aroused the whole neigh
borhood. Deter Qulmlan, of Collingdalc. who
hnd alighted from the Chester trolley
car with Dalton, was the first to reach
his side.
Dalton was found 'i'lng. with blood
streaming from n wound of the heart.
In his right hand. he clasped his re-,
volyer, two chambers ofwhlch bad been
emptied,- . .v -M-
Doctor Dalton, the nearest physiclnn,
had retired. He was 'quickly aroused,
and hurried to tho aid of the dying man
not knowing ho was his own son.
Ah rfows of the robbery spread through
Sharon III11 scores of citizens urmed
themselves and joined in tho mnnhunt.
A cordon wns .formed for two blocks
around the Dalton home. Members of
the state police, patrolling the Chester
pike, lenrucd of the shooting nnd led
the hunt for tho robbers.
Coroner Holds Body
(in i. , . ... . ..
. it is too terriDie to tout about,"
Miss Kthel Dalton. sister of the xlnin
man. said today. "I was still awake,
wnitlng to hear John come In. ' We
heard the four shots, and the shouts nf
the neighbors. Then some one called
to father thnt a mnn wns dving. When
I learned It was John it did not beem
possible."
The hold-up nnd murder of Dalton.
who hnd attended Ridly Park High
School, was the fourth crime last night
in Sharon Hill. Three robberies were
committed! by three negroes.
At Hilfi o'clock three npernes lmlil
up a man almost on the identical spot

sumably bv tho bume negroes. Thev
obtained $35.
The third hold-up followed shorth
after, nnd the victim declares his ua
snilants were three negroes.
Three negroes robbed a store In Sharon
Hill n week ago and nrc believed to be
the men who shot Dalton.
An unarmed posse chased the lie
crocs from the town at the time of the
robbery, and they turned on their pur
