He started oift at ll o'clock yester

work had found only nineteen women
who were willing to have their nnmes
put on the registry lists. There are
200 mrn registered in the division, nnd
Day thinks there should be ut leust
that many women. 1
'They were't all ludvlike, either, ,

wouldn't vote. It took me four solid

Republican ward organizations, of
both the Vure and Republican alliance

women up for their respect Ivep nrtles.
It was evident today, from the trend
of discussion in political circles, that
from now until election every effort
will be made to control the feminine
vote in the Interest of partisan politics.
The method which seems to find favor
In both camps is the organization nf
auxiliaries of wmoen voters, which
will work In harmony with the existing
ward committees of the men.
Tiie first ward organization tn take
official cognizance of suffrage was the
Twenty-ninth ward Republican execu
tive committee, which niinnunced Its
i plans this afternoon to form a woman's
auxiliary in the ward.
The plan was developed at a meet
ing held nlst night at the ward head
quarters. The new committee will be
called the Civic ,ServIce League of the
'twenty -ninth ward. In addition to
making plans for taking tho women into
their organization by means of this aux

MAY BRING FULL INQUIRY
The valuation of the Philadelphia
transit system ordered by the Public
Service Commission will bo objected to
If it cnuscs an Investigation to be made
of the affairs of the underlying compa
nies, counsel for the companies said
today.
They contended no investigation of
the underlying companies enn be mado,
either dlrectlv or indlrectlv, before the
commission in the face of the super
sedeas granted recently bv Judge Linn,
nf the Superior Court. The writ halted
Investigation by the commission until
the court rules on ItM constitutional and
jurisdictional right to do so.
Henry P. Brown, attorney for ncvrrnl
of the underlying cotnpanlca, was nskod
If he would take any action to prevent
Investigation of the companies wlien the
hearing to receive evidence regarding
the trnnst company valuation is held
beforo the commission. He said ho could
not discuss the prlvnto affairs of his
client.
Won't Discuss Case
Joseph Ollflllnn, who represents a
large majority of the stockholders In tho
underlying companies, said: "This mat
ter Is beforo the Superior Court. It
would not only be unethical, but ns n
lawyer one could be held in contempt
for discussing the case now.
An order of the Public Service Com
mission, made in executive session in
Cltv Hull yesterday, compels the Phila
delphia Itfipld Transit Co. to wo on with
it Inventory and nppraisal of nil the
transit property.
The action wan upon the company's
petition to wlthdrnw Its higher fare
tariff, against which the city, filed n
cross petition urging tho necessity of
continuing with n vnluatlon even though
the higher fare tariff proposal was
withdrawn.

Third. This permission Is without
prejudice to the complaint of the Clive

Transit observers today profemed to
see in the commission's order n sweep

A valuation will ncccssnrlly disclose

SUBSIDIARY PROBE
BANK OPTIMISTIC
REGARDING TRADE
Businoss Conditions in This
District to Improvo, Says
Foderal Rosorve Roport
TRANSPORTATION A FACTOR
An optimistic tone is evident In a re
port on buslnepu conditions In this dis
trict Issued today by the Federal Re
serve Rank
Transportation, regarded its n "key"
factor, Is expected to Improve because
of tho recent Increased rate award, ac
cording to the report, the Improvement
reacting favorably on general conditions.
"It will now be possible to secure
new equipment nnd make such im
provements ns nro necessary to facili
tate the movement of freight," tho re
port continued. "A rapid recovery is I
not possible, but steady progress can
and should bo expected."
Many industries nro experiencing n
cut in production, tlm Federal Rowrvo
Ilnnk finds. This ts attributed to pop
ular revulsion ajratnst high prices.
The free spending of war days Is
being replaced bv care In buying nnd n
willingness to dlspenso with some lines
until prices nre normal, This attitude
is reflected, according to the report, In
falling prices for textile and leather
products.
Expect Many Sales
While production hna fallen In many
industries because of this popular atti
tude and because of transportation
troubles, the prospects this fall for the
retail trade nre 'excellent, according to
the bank analysis.
"The outlook In the retail trade Is
exceptionally bright." the report stated,
"and there Is a feeling that the fall will
witness n continuation of the present
high volume of sales.
Householders who have been fearing
a coal shortage this winter nre given
some assurance in the report.
"Moderate Improvement in the pro
duction nnd trnnspnrtntlon of coal has
taken place during tho last monUi," It
wns declared. "The demand for an
thracite apparently grows stronger
dolly. Produrcrs, however, maintain
thero will be plenty of anthracite for
domestic consumption next winter, al
though it Is not possible for every house
holder to secure his year's supply this
summer."
One of the conditions thnt shows nn
sign of improvement, according to Uic
report, is that of hoiislug.
"There is practically no building of
nny kind going on nt the present time
bccuiiso of the uncertainty of securing
building materials-, unsettled lnbor con
ditions, transportation difficulties and
the Inability on the part of banks and
building loan associations to take on
any more mortgage loans.
Trend of Rents Upward
"The trend of rents is distinctly up
ward. Rents to date are higher than
at any time heretofore. Two-story
houses, which formerly rented for $25
and $.'10, are now bringing between $00
and S80 per month.
"Home-buyers and building operators
are experiencing considerable difficulty
in the matter of financing tho buying or
building, of homes. Mortgage money Is
very scarce, as banks and building nnd
loan associations arc not increasing their
mortgage holdings, due to the tight
monov mnruet, ana investors are in
clined to be less libernl than heretofore,
nnd a great deal of monev which for
merly wns placed on first mortgage h
now being diverted to other Investment
channels, where the returns arc greater.
"The great decrease in industrial and
residential construction In virtually
every section of the country will in
evitably affect building materials. Lum
ber has already turned downward.
The housewife is assured that the
trend of wholesale mcut priced lias been
downward during the last month, pack
ers estimating thnt the selling price of
beef in the East lias decreased approxi
mately 10 to 2.1 per cent.

Senator on Return
Special nhvotch to Kvmlun l'uhlln Isdtm
Atlantic City, Aug. 2(1. "Wo hurt
got to deal with tho critical condition
now existing In Germany with the
grcntcst care, dismissing njl thought of.
rancor nnd making the welfare of the
German people nnd of the world our
first consideration. Otherwise wc hall
linve to face the peril of being a con

flame of Uolxlicvism tnrougnout uer

day of Walter K. Edge. United Stntes
senator for New Jersey, who has jmt
returned from u two months' study ol
European economic conditions wbich
tools him as far as American headqimr
tors at Cnblenz.
"America could make nn greater
blunder. In my mind, than to withdraw
the magnificent little nrmy of 10,000
men which represents United Stntei,
diplomatically and commercially, rather
than millturlstlcally, on Germnnr's
enll.
"They are there as apostles of peace,
representing n bnlance of power for
sanity und safety rather than a threat
of oRgressJon or retaliation from a vic
torious power, n former enemy. Condi
tions in Germany are terrible, inde
scribable, almost."
Senator . .dgc gave the Impression
that he had little confidence in the
permanency of the German Government
as now constituted.
"It is not a question of how miieh
Indemnity Germany shall pay or when
it shall pay it so much as whether
Germany shall bo able to pay at a
And we must view the situation from
that standpoint, if wc arc going to pi
anywhere." The senator continued:
"We must be prepared from this time
forward to do our part for the rehabllk
tation of Germany commercially ; I
mean not only for our own benefit and
protection, but as n world duty.
