COMMISSION IS DIVIDED
Residents of vnrlous section of Ihc
eiif may be called upon to pay nn In
tte of $1.44 a. month in car fare.
""JCfi'ft, advance proposed by the Phlla-
pjjVJWphla- Japld Trnnsit Co. through
fffi 'ettmlnatloil of frei1 transfers would
total the amount named. An increase
of 00 tents a, month will be added to
those using exchanges to ride to or from
points in the central business district.
bb these, 3-ccnt exchanges will be elim
inated and a straight fi-ccnt fare
charged within the territory pre
scribed. The Public Service Commission Is
now considering the company's rcn.uc.it
Jto Increase rates through this method.
A decision in the matter Is expected
during the last week of the present
inonth,
There is sold to be considerable divi
sion among members of the coinmislon
on the question. Those who profess to
know the attitude of the commission on
thesublect look for n decision which will
bring some modification of the changes
in rates proposed by the company.
Discriminative, Cliargo
Residents of the central section of the
city and in the immediate vicinity of
that section declaro that the eontcm-
nlated advance in rates will be discrim
inative. They point out by way of il
lustration that a person will be enabled
,to ride nearly thirteen miles on Route
No. 23. the Gcrmantnwn line, for five
cents, while it will cost ten cents to
ride fifteen or twenty squares in the
central section of the city.
For illustration, a person may ride
from Eleventh and Rltner streets to
Chestnut Hill for five cents, while It
would cost ten cents to ride from Fif
teenth nnd Poplar streets to Tenth and
Chestnut streets.
Another illustration of faro inconsis
tency is pointed out In the northeast.
A. rider may go from Richmond to Over
brook, a distance of eleven miles, for a
nickel. This trip begins nt Richmond
street and Allegheny avenue and ends
at Sixty-third street and Glrard ave
nue. Another Long Nickel Hide
Among other long five-cent rides will
be one from Snnom street to Frank-1
ford for five cents and another from
Ninth and Locust streets to Manayunk
for five cents.
Officials of the company say the short
.rider will have to nay for the burden of
" tl(e long rider, for the present ut least.
Jrrao should the company be granted
permission to increase the fare by the
method stated, this advance. It Is -said,

Will doubtless be some changes. As to
these, announcement will be made in

Makes Major's Policies His
The policies of Mayor Moore will be
Mr. Caven's policies. The new direc
tor said there was going to be nothing
radical.
"I am a firm believer In the principle
that it is bad to upset the dirty water
in the bucket until you get cleaner
water to put back into it."

Thi Influence of John It. K. Scott.
crimlnnl lawyer, which was admittedly
powerful in tite territory nround the
Eighth district. Tenth nnd Buttonwood
streets, necessitated some of the changes
yesterday.
This was admitted In n statement by
Superintendent Mills, who cxplnlned
that In addition to suppressing 'vice the
police transfers were to "stir up" cer
tain policemen nnd brenk up the con
. genial surroundings where they had
fallen under baleful Influences.
Also Other Purposes
"Another reason," said the Riipcr
Irlendent, "Is to break up political al
liances and Roclal cntnnglcmcnts of
members of the police force caused by
too long service In a certain locality.
Thoe slowly formed but powerful as
sociations prevent policemen from giving
efficient public service. They wish to
stand bv their personal friends nnd nftcr
long association they lose Bight of what
these friends may stand for.
"Sixteen men nnd one pntrol sergeant
have been transferred from the Eighth
district. In this district, particularly,
the men have been too willing to nc
ccpt dictation from political leaders
rather than from their officers. John It.
K. Scott has had n powerful Influcnco In
this district and men nnd women under
surveillance by the police look to him
for assistance.
"There Is no question Lieutenant
Walsh. In charge of the Eighth dis
trict, hns not been backed Up properly
by n number of his men in his efforts
to clean up thnt section of the city. Wo
nre going to buck Wnlli to the limit
nnd the lawbreakers there mav as well
accept the fact firct as last. No other
influence will be permitted to interfere
with the police work.
Others to Oct Help
"The same thing I say for Llcutcn
nn Wnlsh eoes for every other police
official who is trying to carry out the
wishes of Mayor Moore nnd Director
Cortelyou.
"There is no reflection upon the in
dividual policemen transferred. They
hnve simply grown too accustomed to
things ns they find them. In their new
districts they will meet new faces, new
conditions nnd be free to mnkc a fresh
start without being nnmpercd py old
time .alliances."
When John It. K. Scott, the Vnre
leader of the Thirteenth ward, was told
Hint Sunerlntendent Mills said the po
licemen had been transferred because
they took orders from film, he said. "I
kno'w nothing about the chnnges and,
furthermore, they do not interest me.
I never saw the policemen and further
more. I never gave nn order to a police
man. I don't know what Mills is talk
ing about."
Lawyers and politicians who had an
"influence" with certain policemen and
police officers and' were able to "gev
wind" of arrests In advance, is said
to have been another reason for the
transfers.
Ward politicians were aware a police
shake-up was coming, but they did not
expect it so seriously on the tenderloin
precincts.
Lieutenant Wnlsh. recently put in
command of the Eighth district, has
been having difficulty in getting his
men to obey orders and since the ad
ministration is anxious to uphold Walsh
In every way a number of changes arc
due to his suggestion.
DRUGGED AND ROBBED

Cams May. N. J.. .Tul.v 10. The in
dustrial situation nnd discussions of
i remedies for the strife between labor
nnd capital were the principal topics on
i today's program of thrt Friends' general
conference In session here,
Qnc of the most Important Issues of
,i1(1 P0,sOns of the conference has been
tip economic nnd industrial situation.
nn.i ti. vounirer and more progressive
l.'rlnnila nrn determined to enter into
active participation In an effort to off
set the evils In the world of Industry.
This morning's address on "The Re
cent History of Industrial Strife" was
delivered by Frank A. Fetter, profesftor,
of economics In Princeton University,
nnd Included n review and analysis of
recent disturbed conditions.
Dr. J. H. Hollander, professor of
economics In Johns Hopkins University,
will speak tonight on "The Industrial
Sltuntlon." . , ,
This morning's address was preceded
bv reports from the different commltteos
V i.n Prlpnils' oreanlzatlon. The
audience heard reports from the gen-n
eral committee, the Kuropcnncuusu na
tion committee, nnd the. philanthropic
committee Including reports on prlu
tlon, narcotics, tobacco, child welfare
and the negro nnd Indian problems.
J. Paul J. Williams spoke of
"Friends and the Changing 8c'al
Order," and George 11. Mitt, on
"Friends' Principles" at the round
tnblc dlscusslous.
"The Friends arc nearer to conquer
ing Germany today than the armies of
the Allies ever were," said Dr. Roslyn
Earp, of London, who was head of the
Friends' medical mission in France, lie
gave nn intimate account of the excel
lent effect of the work of the Irlends
relief agencies nmong the Germans and
Austrians.-
Scveral other young Friends speak
ing at last night's meeting plended for
greater activity in combating America s
social and international problems.
"Thou shalt not kill In all Its modem
complexities in social and Industrial
life should be the literal watchword of
the Friends," said Anna M. Mlchener,
of New York, who declared that "Our
economic and social organization is sick
and , that wo Friends must get out
among the submerged tenth,"
"We arc living as if God had created
us only to bo comfortable," declared
Rachel D. du Bois. "The Friends' or
ganization is without justification un
less we strive for n social religion and
catch the vision of the supreme power
of brotherly love."
"Many of the younger Friends will
withdraw to other fields of usefulness
unless the older and more conservative
clement awakes to the vital spiritual
and world problems of today, "declared
L.Taylor Towne, who has Just returned
from relief work abroad.
Philadelphia Friend Honored
Arthur C. Jackson, of Philadelphia,
yesterday was chosen chairman of the
conference to succeed Dr. C. Edward
Janney, of Chicago, after twenty
years of faithful service. Dr. Thomas
A. Jenkins, of Chicago, was made vice
chairman ; Rachel Thorn, of Baltimore,
secretary, and Harry A. Hawkins, of
Rutherford, N. J., treasurer.
A meeting of the central committee
of the conference was conducted in the
afternoon, nt which reports of standing
committees on education. First Day
schools, philanthropic, labor and ad
vancement work was submitted and
discussed.
The second day of the conference
opened with an Increased attendance
not only of Friends but also of local
people who were especially attracted
by the subject of the morning's session.
"Our Faith aud the Causes of War."
The speaker was Dr. J. Russell Smith,
professor of Industrial geography, Co
lumbia University, New York.
For his own thinking he had several
years ago condensed the causes of war
to thrte: property, love of power and
group consciousness. War's repulslve
ness was never so great as in the last
war. He urged Friends to think
through, see through and study through
this question the causes of war so
they might work for peace.
George A. Walton gave Bible lecture
No. 2, the topic being Nehcmlnh, the
successful leader of men. He sketched
the life of this young Jew at the Per
sian court nnd the quiet way he worked
to be made governor of Jerusalem aud
lead his people.
'Extension of Work Urged
The session opened with n devotional
meeting, when Lucy Biddlc Lewis
pleaded for nn active and not a passive
religion, saying Friends needed to think.
Before this, a round-table on "Friends'
Principles" had been conducted by
George H. Nutt In a crowded commit
tee room. He said faith is what wo
believe and act on. One renkou Friends
have succeeded is that so little of the
creed lias beeu written down, nnd each
inner light, the most important princi
ple, they differ only in application.
Great Interest was manifested in the
evening topic, "Friends, Why?" Dr.
Rocelyn Earp, of London, a young
Friend, who has been in this country
for the last six weeks, said when he
talked to young Friends In England aud
America he felt the society wus coming
to life, and that is why he is a Friend.
Tho great contribution of the Friends,
in his opinion, had been tho inner
light. He gave instances to show how
tills contribution was accepted by ofher
religious bodies and that religion is a
business not of creeds, but n way of
life. He sold all Friends had been too
much engaged in little gardens. What
is needed uow Is to get a plow and go
out in fresh wastes.
Anna Mlchener spoko of the testi
mony of the hociety for peace as a
corollary to the brotherhood of man.
She mentioned other kinds of warfare
than military operations, cnlllng indus
trial warfare a symptom of tho state of
BickucsH of the world. If the Society of
Friends still has a vital message for the
world, shall this generation be less
courageous than its' ancestors in
spreading the message?
W. Nuylor Thorn, who had been ac
tively engaged In the Flrends recon
struction work In VIcnuu, urged to seek
kuowledge nnd add to that knowledge
faith. He suld this society would be
trulv proud to call themselves Friends
if they knew what they meant to Eu
ropean peoples. He urged all Friends
to unite on a program of service, other
wise the religion would bo as souudln
brass and tinkling cymbals.
Rachel Du Bois satd to bo n true
Friend one must learn to act and not
jiibt talk. She made a fervent prayer
thnt Friends might be willing to leave
their comfortable homes aud holp suf
fering humanity.

Murdered Wife to 7
Gain Freedom
Continued from Fare One
for several months, and it drove me
to drink. I think the liquor put the
idea of murder into .y head first. I
used to drink over on West Madison
street, nnd It was awful stuff. Boot
leg boozes that simply sets a man's
brain on fire,
"The more I drank the more I
thought of the idea of murder. At first
I was not so serious, but finally I de
cided to kill her.
"I got to drinking. . Tho more I
drank the more I wanted to kill my
wife. Whisky is to blame. JOnc night
I was reading the paper. I saw the big
head lines. It was all about a man be
ing Bhot in u robbery. That put the
idea in my head. I decided to take
the risk right then. I got to thinking
again. Robbery was the easiest way.
Meets Hold -up Man
"Shot in r robbery : that was my own
Idea. Fate was with rac that night, for
I met n man in a saloon. I don't know
the address of it. He bumped my arm
nnd knocked the glass of whisky I had
In my hand on to the floor. He looked
liko n tramp. Wc had a lot of whisky
then and we went into the back room.
I told him my plan and asked him if
he wanted to make some easy money.

"Suppose, for instance, 1 said, that
I had a wifo whom I didn't want;
that she was keeping mo from doing
someining i wunieu to do and so 1
nlnnned to kill her. And suppose that
I decided on a plan something like this :
I would take my wife down into tho
vestibule of the npartment building
where we lived some night. It would
be dark down there. Then another
fellow would come in and tell me to
throw up our hands; that ho was a
robber.
"Then suppose I would draw out
my pistol and begin shooting. Not nt
the robber, but nt my wife; and sup
poso I would kill her, then tell the
police that she wns accidentally shot
whllo I was shooting at a robber.
"What do you think tho coppers
would say?
" 'That's easy,' the stranger said,
'but how about the easy money for yours
truly?'
"You nro the hold-up mnn, I told
him. All you got to do is to look mad,
curso a lot and act just like a robber.
"I will take my wife to the movies
and when I come back with her you bo
waiting in the dark in the vestibule.
He Was a Dead Shot
"You say, 'Hand over tho money,
nnd then I will begin shooting. You don't
hnve to bo afraid, for I am n dead shot
aud I won't kill you. After several
moro drinks I flnnlly got him to play
the part of a hold-up man.
"The following week we pulled tin.
shooting. In the meantime I had sug
gested to my wife that hhe draw out

this money with mo when I Joined the

"Well, everything went fine. Wo
went to the show. He hollered out

I started shooting. I had two guns,
