council Members agree
Charles L. Fluckf president of the
Xorthwest Uuslncss Men's Association,
which lias devoted itself largely to tran
sit affairs for tho last ten years, as
serted today he is not opposed to the
zone fare system said to be contem
plated by the llapld Transit Co, to in
crease Its revenues.
Mr. Fluck, who Is on n vacation nt
Atlantic City, pointed out that the fight
against the underlying rentals must not
be lost sight of. He docs not want to
see higher carfares, he suld, but if
higher fares nro found finperntive, the
zone fare system would protect short
rides.
"I am not opposed to the zone fare
system "Mr.. Fluck asserted." First
of all, I am in favor of every method
possible In an effort to reduce the
rentals to the underlying companies. In
case that falls, or proves insufficient,
and carfares must eventually be raised,
I am in favor of the zone fare system
of carfare.
"I will urge the Xorthwest Business
Men's Association to consider very care
fully tho proposed zone fare system
If It Is laid before Council or the Pub
lice Service Commission. We oppose
the eight-cent exchange ticket because
it Is inequitable."
Many members of city Council arc
known to favor 'the zone fare system.
It is believed tho plan will be presented
for approval of the Mayor and Coun
cil under tho 1007 agreement.
Those who have been sounded on the
subject agree thnt the suggestion of
Thomas K. Mitten that the rider pay
in proportion to the distance he travels
is n reasonable argument.
Other members of Council are, neu
tral, but the majority agree with
Mayor Moore that tho company must
have more revenue If it Is to improve
the service.
In order that the matter may be
thoroughly threshed out,' several offi
cials of the transit company favor a
public hearing before Council at which
the subject may be thoroughly reviewed.
As roughly outlined on a map of the
city, the boundaries of the first three
mile zone on the north aro nt Lehigh
avenue and Broad street, mcasuriug
fiom Market street.
The three-mile boundary to the south
is between' Bigler street and Hoyts
avenue. Extending to the northeast
the line is nt Xorris street nnd in the
northwest, Girard avenue and Belmont
nvenuc nnd Ilidgo avenue nt Dauphin
street.
Tho western boundary it at AVood
land avenue about Forty-ninth street;
Chester avenue about Forty-ninth street
and Bnltimoro avenue near Forty-ninth
street.
Mr. Mitten will return to this city
on Monday and is expected to make a
definite announcement regarding the
company's next step.
After public opinion has been sound
ed on the zone-fare system, it is said
that Mr. Mitten wht ask the Public
Seivlce Commission to approve a rate
of fare along the zone idea, which prin
ciple will enable tho cotnpauy to pav
its cmplojes the advance wage which is
due them since last June 1.

MILD WINTER EXPECTED
On Past Performance Weather Bu
reau Exports Give Opinion
"Go light on your coal supply for
next winter!" is the unofficial advice of
government scientists who have been
digging into weather history.
They have discovered that eight times
iu the last fifty years the average winter
temperature along the Atlnntlc seaboard
in the vicinity of Philadelphia and New
York has been 3 degrees or more below
nnrmnl. Last winter was one of the
"hard winters," with a low average
temperature.
They have discovered further that six
times out of the other seven the next
succeeding winter has been above normal
iu temperature nud at least 4 degrees
warmer than tho winter immediately
preceding.
Taking this record as a basis. Dr.
Charles F. Brooks, editor of the
"Weather Review," official publication
of the Weather Bureau, figures the
chances arc 0 to 1 that next winter will
bo a mild winter.
But it's not a forecast only a
"huuch.'

RETURN VIA BALTIMORE
An Ideal tour for the motorNt who
Is not pressed for time runs from Phila
delphia to HngCTStown, Md,, by way
of Ilarrlnbur;, returning home through
Baltimore. The distance In 22.' miles.
Good roads throughout the Journey
tend to make It thoroughly enJoable.
Almost the entire distance from Hnrrl.
burg to Hogerstown Ih over n concrete
highway. No nttempt should bo made
to visit Gettysburg, because the roads
In that section nro bad nnd many it
them nro closed for Repairs.
,T.n. n'lvlsable way to go Is from
Philadelphia to NorrMown, College
villo, Pottstown nnd Iteadlng. Then
on to Lebanon nnd Harrlsburg. The
capltol at Harrlsburg nnd other state
buildings nro very beautiful nnd if pos.
slble, time should be taken to inspect
them.- The journey from Harrlsburg
to New Kingstown and Carlisle in the
heart of the Blue Ridge Mountain re
gion is ideal nt thin time of the year.
The towns next passed through lire
Hhlppcnsburg. Chambcrsburg nnd Ha
gerstown. They were once as bare nnd
desolate as France and Belgium, but
show no signs now of the struggles of
Civil War days.
Hagcrstown is replete with historical
relics. It was there that the original
Declaration of Independence was signed
In 1774 nnd nearly n hundred years
ltcr the Battle of Gettysburg com
menced In the streets of the town.
There are a number of good hotels In
Hagerstown and the motorist will find
good accommodation.
To reach Baltimore, Frederick.
Bidgevillc nnd Llbson are passed
through. Baltimore has many interest
ing sights nnd If motor visitors hnvc the
time they would wo well to remain
there overnight.
The return run Is through old coun
try, which is scenicftlly hard to eounl.
Kln'gsvllle. Taoll and Ardmore complete
the journey, which cannot well be ac
complished in a week-end, unless fast
running time is made.
Woman to Explain Vote Rules
Miss Kstclle Russell, of the Repub

Bpeak tonight nt the onrnlvnl of the
Animal Rescue League of Philadelphia,
at Twcntv-fourth nnd Rted streets. Her
subject will be "Voting Made Lasy.'
and she will explain In detnll why there
is assessment of voters, why voters are
registered and how, and make clear to
prospective woman voters the whole
machinery of the ballots.
By the Associated Press
London, Aug. 28. All possible doubts
that former Czar Nicholas of Russia and
his family were nssasslnated In the
basement of their prison house nt
Kkateriuburg on the night of July 10,
1018, seems to be dispelled by the ac
counts of two Independent investigators,
published here.
One. printed in the London Times,
was written by Its former Petrogrnd
correspondent. Robert Wilton. The
other appears in the magazine Nine
teenth Century nnd After, nnd Is from
the pen of Captain Francis McCullngh,
of the British army.
Both spent several weeks at Ekater
inburg, and talked with natives and
soldiers who witnessed the nffnlr
through the windows of the ill-fated
house. Both writers agree on Important
dctnlls of the story.
These accounts confirm previous re
ports, but it is known the former cm
rioror's mother, who Is in Copenhagen,
and Dowager Queen Alexandra, of
Great Britain, both have refused to give
up hope of the royal family's escape
until quite recently, when prlvntc rc
imrts furnished them by Captain Mc
Cullagh nnd Mr. Wilton, nt the request
of relatives, convinced them of the
massacre.
The victims of the massacre, they
say, numbered eleven, being the former
czar, his wife, son nnd four daughters,
Doctor Botklu and three servnnts. The
assassination was arranged by Yurovski.
the jailer in churge of the deposed royal
family, and was carried out by twelve
soldiers. The Times' account says
these men were Letts, but Captnln Mc
Cullngh declares they were Magyars,
who had been placed on duty instead of
a Russian guard because the Bolshe
vik! feared Russians could not be
trusted foi the woik. .
Captain McCullngh's story says nil
the doomed party. eJtccpt Nicholas, were
on their knees, crossing themselves, ns
Yurovski shouted the order for the
execution of "Nicholas Romanoff, the
bloody, nuM all his family."
The forlicr czar then stepped quickly
In front of his wife and children, snyiug
something which could not bo heard,
and wns shot by Yurovski. Then the
rcmuinder pf the party were shot down
with revolvers nnd later the soldiers
bayonetted the bodies, he said.
After the assassination of Nicholas
and his family, Yurovski hastened tn
Moscow to report the details to Nikolai
Lenine, the Bolshevik premier. Ac
cording to Captain McCullagh, he wns
promoted to be commissioner of life

The Public Ought to be Told
There are lots of things about hotel life that I've
always thought the public ought to be told. Here,
for instance, is a little hint which you may, some
time, be glad you saw and remembered:
If something unsatisfactory happens, back along
the line of human connections through which service
has to flow, the way to get it right is to place your
complaint high enough. Don't complain to a waiter
or bus-boy, but to a head-waiter; not to a bell-boy or
page or porter, when you should put it to the assis
v tant-manager.
i In the Pennsylvania and the Stader Hotels you're
promised satisfaction. The policies of the business,
and the manager's intentions, are to give you full
measure of what you're promised. It's a responsibil
ity; and, naturally, the higher you go with your com
plaint, the more of that responsibility will you find
working for you.
Why? Well, waiters and bell-boys change jobs
oftener than executives, and are less interested in
their jobs. Our ibor turnover" is pretty low, very
low for a big hotel; and it is lowest among those
employees who can understand and practice our poli
cies were always weeding out the other kind.
When you make your complaint to a department
head, or to someone more responsible than the one
who isn't giving you the required standard of service,
you'll get action. It's a big part of my job to see
that you do.
Speaking of the Pennsylvania, it may interestyou
mildly to know that in one month of thirty days,
we served 262,0:7 meals an average of 8,733 a day;
and that the average number of registered guests
was 2,874. That will help you to see that we have
too mucjw'- u; to be indifferent about what
kina ,' , - , you get because we wane to keep
up this Habit of breaking records.
