Mayor Moore will confer with Di
rector Twining and Thomas i:. Mitten.
S resident of the Philadelphia Hnpid
'ransit Co.. this afternoon concerning
the Erankfnrd elevated line and other
transit matters. i
I The conference is being held nt Mayor
Moore's request. The Mn.or arranged
for it at the last meeting of the board of
directors of the V. It. T Co.. at which
he was present. He said i.t thnt time
'h .wanted n "show-down" on the
Frankfnrd elevated. He explained that
the city was unwilling to go nhead with
the arrangement of contracts for the
elevated work until there was some sort
of a working agreement in force between
the city and the company.
The city's offer, mnde by the Major.
to permit the company to operate the
elevated on the basis of " per cent an
nually on the city's investment, has not
been ace'pted as yet by the company.
The Mayor takes the position that
the city is entitled to a net fi per cent
return on its investment. Mr. Mitten
has told the Mayor that he personally
thought the matter of leasing the
Frankford elevated would not have to
bo submitted to the stockholders of the
P. n. T. Co. The board of directors
of the company ns n whole, however.
does not agree with Mr. Mitten on this
matter.
To Arrange Transit Chech -Up
Another important transit conference
x be held in the near future Is one be
tween City Solicitor Smyth and Transit
Director Twining. The object of the
conference is the arrangement of de
tails for the appointment of experts to
check up on the P It. T. Co.'s ap
praisal. Council yesterday authorized
the appropriation of $."0,000 to pav the
expenses of this survey. A corps of
engineers and accountants will be em
ployed to do the work for the city It
is indicated that the experts will not be
named by the city for seeral weeks.
A development in the transit suit be
fore the Public Service Commission ex
pected within the next day or two is
tne tiling of a reply Dy tne underlying
companies of the P. R. T. to the com-
tilaint made bv the United liusiness
Mcn'8 Association and the Cliveden Im
nrovement Association, asking the com
mission to reduce the annual rentals
paid the underlying companies.
The underlying companies are ex
pected to file an answer to the com
plaints in spite of the fact that their
demurrers, overruled by the commis
sion last Monday, were based on a
denial of the commission's jurisdiction.
By filing an answer, the underlying
companies -will tacitly recognize the
jurisdiction of the Public Service Com
mission. Legal experts, however, say
that this would be n wiser course than
Ignoring the proceedings before the
commission. Otherwise the commission
might rule against the underlying com
panies and order a reduction of rentals,
apd the companies could not appeal
until the order against them had been
completed.
Answering the complaints mnde b
the associations, the uuderljing com
panies will at least have an opportunity
to make a defense.
Jlenry P. Urown. nn attnrnev for the
underlying companies, said today sev
eral courses of nctiou were being con
sidered by them. The companies have
ten days in which to tile answers.
Stotesbury .May Iteturn
A report K. T. Stotesbury will re
sume his place on the directorate is
current.
He and Mr. Mitten, nt out over the
lattcr's advocacy of the five-cent fare,
are about to rejoin hands under a new-
working agreement, it is said The

and the traction expert together.
That the wiy for Mr. Storesburj 'i
return to the P. B. T. board has been
made easy by Mr. Mitten is conceded
even in the company's executive offices
It was Mr. Mitten's recommendation
at the board mcetine Mondav that "no
action be taken at this time to till the I
vacancy caused by the resignation of

Stotesbury Defended
Tleferenci to Mr Stotesbun as Phil
adelphia's leading citizen" and the
statement that he resigned hi.ause "lie

being put out." marked I bitter debate
on the local transit situation in Council
yesterday.

The move of Mr (iaffnev was de
feated, 12 to D, bur not until after he
had intimated that the citv solicitor
was attemntinc to conceal something in
his apparent unwillingness directly to
attack tho underlying rentals
If the P. It. T is in the financial
predicament it claims to be, said the
Vare floor leader, either a fare increase
is necessary or the underlying rentals
will have to be reduced

We're Polite Fellers:
"The women may have to tako

pective feminine voters todny, "but
with tho men ns polite, ns I think
they will be, women will lie Invited
to go to the head of the line."
City Will Be Ready
for Women's Vote
('ontlmml from rate One
but Mrs. Nichols asserted the women
could not be segregated. "
"If the women want to vote," said
Mrs. Stevenson, "they should vote in
tho same way as the men, without favor
or privilege."
This led the Mayor to observe that he
faorod equal pay for eo.ual service.
"Yes," added Mrs. Stevenson, "nnd
nrcept the same dlsagrcenble features
in the voting as the men have to face."
Mrs. Nichols pointed out that the

plumber's shop which she was accus
tomed to visiting quite often. She said
she could just as easily visit that shop
for the purpose of voting.
Question of Time
Mrs. Wnrburton declared the real
question was how quickly could the nec
essary machinery he placed in motion.
Commissioner Holmes replied:
"The first essential Is to have the
women assessed. It must he decided
whether the 300,000 women are to go to
the polling places to lie assessed or
whether an extra force of assessors!
should be engaged for the purpose of
canvassing the woineu as the men arc
ennvnsscd."
When a reference was made to reg
istration the Mayor remarked, with a
smile, that registration involved an
swering ii good many personal ques
tions. Commissioner Holmes resumed his
discussion and urged an appropriation
to pay for the extra assessment. Ho
said this would cost $.r0,000 and that
it might be nccessury to cnll n specinl
session of Council during the summer
recess to provide the funds.

n sharp debate over the question of
the Mayor's Jurisdiction in tho matter.
The Mayor nsked the commissioner if
he hod received sutneient information
on which to go ahead and assess the
women.
Mr. Holmes replied he had not.
"I have long since learned," said the
Mayor, to wait for otnciai Information
Suppose that suffrage does not become
legal and we have gone ahead and set
un the machinery.'
Commissioner Holmes suggested to
the city executive that City Solicitor
Smyth be sent for to give advice on
theso points.

SYRIAN ARABS BALK
Refuse to Abide by French Terms
Accepted by Felsal
Constantinople, July 27. (By A. P.)
The entire Syrian situation Is again in
confusion as a result of tho Arabs' re
fusal to abide by Prince Fcisal's accept
ance of General Gouraud's terms and
the French march on Damascus.
The French have sent several thou
sand senegalese rc-cnforccmcnts to
Adana, relieving the situation there
somewhat. Nevertheless, Adana is
without food and the American commis
sion for relief in the Near East is en
deavoring to send flour, which tho
French say they can send by rail, from
Mcrsina as they now have enough forces
to control the railway.
Travelers from Oulakishla, 100 miles
north of Adnnn, sny that a fortnight ago
tho turks brought there many rench
prisoners captured ten miles north of
Adann, which was hard pressed on all
slues ny nationalists.

GRATZPAY PLAN
Indorsos Suggestion That Citi
zens' Committee Take Up
Part of School Loan
$216 FOR EACH TEACHER
George Wharton Pcpncr. a member
of tho citizens committee on school
teachers nny. nnnroves a man sue-
festcd by Hlmon Gratr, president of the
loard of Education, to get more money
tor tne tenencrs.
Mr. Gratz snld that members of the
citizens' committee might subscribe to
$700,000 of the recent $2,000,000 school
loan which fa en. This S700.000. n us
$600,000 from tho sale of certain prop-
ernes, woum uo suincient to givo tlic
teachers nn increase of $200 each with
out delay.
"The suggestion of Mr. Orntz is ono
which I urn sure the committee will
cnrefully consider." said Mr. Pepper.
It will be remembered that our original
proposition to the board included the
underwriting of the entire loan.
'That proposition having been de
clined, the underwriters were relcnscd.
and it is now n nucstion whether wo
ran reassemble them. One thing is cer
tain, however, and that is that wo
should make it ii condition that the
Board of Education would make distri
bution among the teachers according to
Mr. urntz n plan, and not according to
the bo-colled Dick schedule.
$(,300,000 for Teachers
"The $240,000 item from the stato
appropriation, plus $600,000 from the
r.alo of the board's real estato nnd the
$700,000 which it is proposed to divert
from tho school loan, would take care
of nontenehlng employes nnd leave
nbout $1,300,000 for the teachers.
"Distributed emially among 6000
teachers, this would bo about $210 per
teacher, a sum far less than the desired
$100 aplocc, but still enough to be a
great deal of help.
"Tho high cost of living affects all
alike, and wo cannot flelp or facilitate
any distribution that is not absolutely
equal.
"I am going awny on Saturday for
a short vacation. And it will bo desir
able, of course, to transact any of this
business nt short distance. But if the
board, individually or collectively, would
givo any assurance that they care to
co-opcrato with us in this matter, I
wouldn't let time or distance inter
fere." What tho Dick Plan Is
There nre 1000 nonteachlng employes
in tho public schools of Philadelphia,
including engineers nnd janitors, cleri
cal assistants and others.
The Dick plan figures on n gradual
rise after 1022 in some teachers'
salaries, giving a maximum of from
$1100 to $1800 a year. The Increases
are to be divided over u period of three
years, tho first being given Inst year,
tho second duo tho first of this year und
the third tho first of next year.
A plan was npproved by the board
advancing the schedules for these pro
posed increases one year. The Dick
nlon has been greatly criticized bv
teachers, owing to what they term Its
inequality, in that it provides n little
for somo teaenrrs ana none tor others.
