DON'T WANT CITY m

G'RUENBERG FOR MEASURE
Directors of the United Hiinlnem

proptwil nmemlnient- to the state con
stitution, which, they said, mteht rmide
the city to inherit thcMmnnclnl ills of
(he Philadelphia llapid Transit Co.
The proposed amendment, passcTi by
(he hiHt Leeislnture, but requiring pns-
mrc ngnln and then ratification by the
people, would ullow the city to neottlrc
ky contrnct or condemnation the fran
chises now leased by the P. n. T.
At the meeting, held at 1015 Arch
street, the following resolution was
submitted :
"Wliercns, An amendment lo the con
dilution lias passed the Legislature of
1010. proposing to give cities under
legislative authorltv the right to acquire
by contract or condemnation the stock
of street railways and of operating com
jinnies and,
"Whereas, This is contrary to the
settled poliev of the state for over fifty
years, nnd it Is dangerous to the pub
lic Interests; nnd. whereas. Said
smendment Is ngaln to bevotcd on by
the Legislature of 1021 Therefore, bo
It
"Hesolved, That we oposc for elee
Inn to the I.eclslnturi' nnv candidate
ho is not opposed to the passage of
this amendment Dy tne incoming Legis
lature." The fears felt by many members
ef the I'nited Huslncss Men's Associa
tion regarding the possible effect of the
imendment, if finally incorporated In
the constitution, cro not slmred by
Frederick P. Gruenberg, director of the
llurenu of Municipal Research.
"The amendment probably will be n'
protection to the city," Mr. Gruenberg
stated at the resenrch bureau office. "It
permissive not directory. If a crisis
hnitld arise tills amendment permits the
dt to meet the crisis by taking over
the transit llnps,
'Ml legislation," he continued,
"uhlch makes for home rule nnd elus
tieity in government will ennble the
government to meet the storm nnd strife
thM tl"-onten lis in the future."
Declaring thnt the P. n. T. could
operate profitably if the rentals which It
paid to the undcrljing companies wero
reduced, the transportation committee
of the I'nited Ilusiness Men's Associa
tion adopted resolutions last night, op
polng tiie company's plan for n
strnight lho-cent fare.
Representative of several business
nssoeintions contended that approval of
the straight five-cent fare would simply
mean increasing the benefitK now en
Jo j rd bv stockholders of the underlying
companies.
Colonel Sliohlnn Potter, city director
n the P. II. T. board, told the Germnn
toun and Chestnut Hill Improvement
Association luxt nisht that the company
hml the right to abolish free transfers.
He siiid further :
"The P. It. T. bus the sole right to
operate curs in this city nnd can run
them on every sheet If it desires. It
Is now requesting Council for increased
menuo. which will be paid by the peo
ple, out tins revenue will not lie used
for the benefit of the people in the way

Dividend Is Withhold
GIRL EMPLOYE ON STAND
Disputed claims against the defunct
North Penn Hank were heard by Judge
Davis today In Common Pleas Court
No. .1, Many such hearings will be
necessary before the claims are all dis
posed of.
They are claims upon which payment
of the 2." per cent dividend declared
by John S. Fisher, commissioner of
bnnklng, In his first report, filed some
time ago, was withheld. Various rea
sons were given for not paying these
various claims. They were grouped un
der several headings. Colonel Fred
Taylor Pusey, special deputy attorney
general, who hnd charge of the nffalrs
of the defunct bank, explained the pur
pose of the hearing to the court.
On unopposed claims, he sold, the
25 per cent dividend had been paid from
n fund reserved when the Phoenix Trust
Co. took over the business. Many
claims wero objected to. he said, by the
officials in charge of the North Penn
Untile, nnd the court will have to adjust
those. One of the most Important ques
tions to be decided will be tho status of.
the subscrlb"rs to Liberty bonds,
amounting in nil to .$105,000.
Thcso subscribers. Colonel Pusey ex
plained, paid In part or In full for their
bonds, on tho installment plan, in many
instneecs but failed to get the certifi
cates nnd bonds from the bank. No
bonds were found credited to individual
subscribers, it was explained, the bouds
found being among the general assets of
the bank.
In the banking commissioner's report

General creditors come next. Major
Ross, of the Federal Reserve Hank, rep
resenting the Liberty Uoud subscribers,
took exception to this ruling of the,
banking commissioner, and declared
Libertv Ilnnil subscribers should be
points ot this pun
a later date.
Other claims deferred for the time
being were those of the Union Nntlonal
Hank, also two claims Involving $400,
000 by the New York Nntlonal Fire
Insurance Co. and the Seneca Fire In
surance Co. Contested claims of depos
itors, also, amount to severnl hundred
thousand dollars. These accounts were
disputed becnuse of offsets claimed by
the bank, pa.wuents on account, Inter
ests and proper credits.

PLEADS FOR THE BLIND
Lieutenant Who Lost Sight In War
Appeals to Rotarians
If the blinding of the 1." American
soldiers in the wnr will serve to draw
attention to the need of proper education
for the T.'.OOO blind men and women in
the country, their sacrifice will not
have been In vain, according to Lieu
tenant Frank Schoble, Jr.. who made
an nddress before the Rotary Club at
luncheon today at the Dcllevup-Strnt-ford.
Lieutenant Schoble. son of a llo
tnrian. wns blinded in the Argonne.
"The blind men are cheerful." he said.
"The blind soldier has received won
derful care. Now, is it fair for him to
receive the wonderful care and educa
tional advantages that have been his,
while these thousands of others in the
country are denied thnt privilege?
"It is not so bud to be blind. Our
spirit is not broken. We nre cheerful.
We nre not ns snd as pictured, and do
not need sympathy, while we, appreciate
It."
Lieutenant Schoblo pnid it warm
tribute to the welfare organizations in
France, which lie said had done splen
did work among the blind and crippled
men. Nouo but those so nfllicted, he
said, could appreciate how grcut this
woru had been.

SPIRITUAL SCHOOLS
Children Will Bo Taught Ideals
of Citizenship In Great Re
ligious Campaign
IS INTERDENOMINATIONAL
To cducntc the young people of the
city to the spiritual content of .citizen
ship, just as the public school system
fits them mentally, Is the object of a
city-wide campaign about to be under
taken by the Philadelphia Suudny
Sch'ool Association to glvo weekday re
ligious Instruction to nil. children of
public school age.
This will not Interfere with the work
of the Sunday schools.
The present move, which will! In nil
likelihood, call for the cventunl co
operation of every church of every faith
In the city, is characterized by Samuel
B. Fares, general secretary of the
Sunday School Association, "the great
est and most revolutionary move nny
wherc nnd nt any time in the history of
cducntiop."
The need of spiritual trainee of the
young along lines beyond the scope of
the public school sjstcm has long been
felt by nil thinking citizens, according
to Mr. Fares, nnd the plun now about
to be launched will fit the children of
nil parts and classes of the city with a
knowledge of ideals, ambitions and rules
of conduct that ho believes will be of
inestimable value to the type of citizen
ship they will produce and wlilch they
could receive in no other wny.
"The Sunday schools have not been
giving this sort of guidance to enough
children to accomplish tills great need,"
said Mr. Fales. "It remains for some
new nnd widespread ngency such as we
arc trying to crente'to raise the spirit-,
ual level of our future citizenship In a
way that Is far more intlmntely con
nected with the everyday life of the
children than the Sundny school.
"There are 714 Protestant churches
In the city through which the associa
tion can begin to work out Its plnn. We
hope to start n series of experimental
weekday schools for spiritual instruc
tion in which we will learn jthe best
hours nnd locations for the great num
ber of schools to follow, ns well as the
curriculum and methods of teaching."
A meeting of the Council of Religious
duration of the association will be
held next Monday In the Fletcher M. R.
Church, Fifty-fourth and Master
streets, at which time plnns for the
stnrtlng of the experimental schools
will be decided upon.

DISREGARD OF RELIGION
Dr. Joseph Krpttshopf Says Fate of Civilization Is in Balqnce
as Spirit and Flesh Battle
The moral laxity everywhere evident,
Dr. Joseph ICrnuskopf asserted today In
his Atonement Day sermon nt Temple
Kcncscth Israel, need not be attributed
t' the daring gowns nnd dresses of
the women, to the war, the "movies"
or nutomoblles, but to a widespread
abandonment of religion,
"A mighty battle Is rnglng nt the
present time between the1 spirit nnd the
flesh," ho declared. "On Its Issue de
pends the rle or fall of our civiliza
tion. Should the material nnd sen
suous prove victorious, the curtain will
be rung down on the Bplcndld progress
we have mnde.
"Should the spiritual prove con
queror, then we shnll go forward to an
era whose splendor may surpass that
of any age that has preceded,"

said, that enabled the Pilgrim fathers
and the Quakers to brave tho dangers
of pioneer life in a wilderness.
"But thnt spirit Is fast losing its
hold on the American people," he as
serted. "Many of them have gotten so
far as to associate obloquy or ridicule
with the term Puritanism. Many of
them hnve an nbundance of time for all

God.

Religion Not Understood
"Notwithstanding the millions of
books that hnve been written on religion
nnd the millions of sermons that have
been preached on it, the true nature and
function of it nre understood by but the
fewest. To by far tho largest number
of people it stands for a milksop affair,
for something thnt caters to the very
young, to the feeble nud effeminate,
something that Is best suited to the
nursery. Few understand thnt the '

made to civilization hns been effected
