To anticipate the Stotesbury scheme he acted with swiftness nnd decision. In other words, he beat Mr. Stotes bury to It. He formulated his Idea into n sched ule of fares which was placed before the public without action by his board of directors. Mr. Mitten feared the defeat of his plan. That is the con elusion to be deduced from sulxrqupnt events.

The National City seems to be fa- jnrert in the betting, hut until Mr Mitten sees lit to reveal the facts It must remain n surmise. C'ily Preparing Legal Illow It will be seen the sltuntlon has de veloped from a mess into li mysterv. The Public Service Commission's: mandate on the Mitten plnn is expected about Monday next. His Is the onlv schedule of ndvnnced trolley fares for Philadelphia before them. As already has been pointed out, the commission's decision will be merely u temporary one. It will stand effective until the com mission makes It permanent or other wise changes the sltuntlon. It is when the presentation of this evidence is begun that City Solicitor Smjth will strike his blow at the under lining companies In the attempt to break their perpetual hold on Philadelphia's transit system. .Nothing enn nvert this attack. Everj thing is in shape, to begin it. That this is a fact is due entirely to the acuteness of City Solicitor Smyth. If the plan so enthusiastically Indorsed by certain members of Council, demnnd ing that the city intervene In an earlier action against the underlying com panies, had received Mr. Smyth's In dorsement the city would hnve been hog-bound nnd tid to a post tumble tn move hand or foot by this time. But the city sollictor avoided the pit fall and today the way is clear for a test as to whether the underlying com panies, with their rich harvest of In terest, averaging 14'. per cent, shall continue to be the old man of the sea Co. Tumi for Battle Is Heady City Council has wisely appropriated $."0,000 for the nppointment of experts to aid the city solicitor in dealing with the inventory of thc Itapid Transit properties which Mr. Mitten asserts will be ready in September. The far-sightedness nf City Solicitor Stnjth In this matter bus saved the city possibly S.IOO.OOO. Yet ho has been severely criticized by those Ignorant of thn facts because he did not plunge in at what to them seemed the auspicious moment. Instead of putting the city in a posi tion where it would have been compelled to make an appraisement of thc transit company's property. Mr. Smyth cleverlj shifted the responsibility for this work ou to the compnny, saving the people the huge sum necessary for the work. The transit company is now under the necessity of preparing Its own in ventory, nnd It Is left to City Solicitor Smyth and his exports to locnte only the discrepancies, overcharges, and errors In that document. There is more than u reasonable as sumption that after Mr. Mitten nnd his new fiuandnl associates, whoever thev may be, lrivc hand -picked thc new di rectors to fill the places of Mr. Stotes bury and his friends they will de cide to join ultli the city in nn attempt to break the leases of the underlying companies Mesrn.

Several him dred telegrams nnd as many more let ters, many special delivery, poured Into William J. Bryan's office here today, urging him to accept tho prohibition party nomination for President. They came from all parts of the cpuntry, nnd the dominant keynote In nil was thnt this was "Mr. Bryan's op portunity to sweep the country." be cause "people everywhere were disgust ed with both the Democratic and Re publican parties." , , No word so for has been received from Mr, Bryan concerning his nttl- ttldn on thn nnmlnntlon.

Chief among the planks redrafted wero those denliug with the Lenguo of Nations, agriculture, profiteering nnd commerce. A plank calling for u world trlbunul, but not specifically tho Ver sailles league, was adopted bv the com mittee. Members reserved the right, to offer amendments on the convention floor, however, nnd indications are there will be a fight. The agricultural plank pledged the strongest possible support to farmers nnd that concerning profiteering wns n vigorous denunciation of speculation. There was little doing iu the con vention hall.

(By A. P.) Army officers and officials of the State Department, who have been studying the Pollsh-niissian operations, ex pressed tho opinion unofficially todny thnt Wnrsnw could bo snved from the Bolshevikl only if ndequuto support Is uvnllnble within thc next few weeks. The government was without official ad vices of the reported decision of the Allies to send troops, If necessary, into Polnnd to check the forward movement of the Busslnns. It wns believed here thnt the nllied powers probably would suggest pnrtlcl patlon by the United Stntes. Unless nn ngreement can bo reached to send al lied troops through Germany tho most likely route for their movement is through Ttnly, German-Austria nnd Crecho-Slovakla. Officials here have es timated thnt such movement would re quire nt least a month, whereas by routing the armies across Germany It would bo possible to detrain them In Poland in Iei,s than a week. Germany's ngreement to such action was doubted here.

Ferguson, who was on his way to Woodbury in an automobile, saw a tour ing car ahead of him suddenly stop on Kalghn's avenue near the. Cooper river. The men began to examine their car and pretended to have trouble. As they were roughly dressed and acted some what suspiciously, Ferguson put on extra speed. v. , Seeing that Ferguson did not intend to stop two of thc men ran to the mid dle of the road and held up their hands. Ferguson did not decrease his speed thc slightest and the men were compelled to Jump aside quickly to escape being run down. Two of the bandits who were standing on the roadside ordered Ferguson to stop. He replied with n laugh and stooped low in the car as several bullets whistled over his head. Several shots wero also fired by the other men and a number of bullets per forated the hood of Ferguson's machine. The men jumped, in the automobile and pursued Ferguson for more than half a mile, but when ho dodged into a private road they gavo up the chase. Ferguson reported the attempted hold-up to tho Camden police. Tho po lice believe that tho banditn are mem bers of a gang who have been operating in south Jersey for several weeks.
