'Hare your men forgono their

'They Jmve," Mr. Mitten replied.
"Will tho company be able to go on

"It will not," Mr. Mitten said.
At this point Commissioner Clement
ftsked
"If the P. It. T. is granted relief

''There was no deficit then. Now we
not pnly need the (3,000,000 a year ad

of jf 1,600, 000."
Mr. Clement persisted in his orig
inal question, asking if Mr. Mitten be
Hera the new fare plan would carry
the company through. Tho P. 11. u.
bead replied the only reason tho com
pany was sticking to the five-cent faro
ptam wat because he thought the Im
position of a higher faro would be im
practicable. Made Play for "Short Rides"
Mr. Mitten explained that during tho

The number of riders
said, providing on ineomo
.frtt.Mjl V.A
of S5.000.000 from that source.
The company conducted Its service es
pecially to get the short riders, ho con
tinued, and the men were instructed to
cultivato that business.
Mr. Mlttsn pointed out that much
of the short riding would bo extremely

tde from tho basic five-cent fare.
The P. R. T. president said he be
ttered tho company was giving tho

Commission Benn asked:
"If you get this relief in a short
time It would carry the company over
until the valuation was completed, then
you would-have figured on which to
base a permanent fare, would you not?"
"Exactly so," replied Mr. Mitten, "I
could not have expressed the situation
better myself."
Other Cities Are Cited
Replying to questions of Mr. Gordon.
Mr. Mitten showed that in Buffalo and
in other cities in which the basic faro
was raised from fivo to seven cents the
companies in those cities lost largo
amounts.
"If we 60 to a higher basic fare," he
said, "we will lose more than any other
dtyl because we created the five-cent
short ride demand to a larger extent by
better merchandising than other cities."
Asked by Mr. Gordon how much tho
company would loso if the short rides
were eliminated, ho replied: "About
15.000,000 a year."
At this point, Commissioner Benn
remarked :
"At tho end of December, Mr. Mitten,
I understand you will have $2,000,000
less than is required to pay the advanced
wages of the meu and the underlying
rentals. Will you have to default in
either the pay of the men or the rent
als?" Mr. Mitten answered that unless the
company obtained relief It would have
to default in one or the other.
'What would you do?" queried
Commissioner Clement.
Mr. Mitten paused for a few moments.

Atlantic City, N. J Oct. 0. Mayor
Moore let it be known today that the
secret of his delay in arriving at the

he got lost in the wilds of New Jersey.
It developed that the Mayor's auto
mobile picked out the wrong trail and
the first thing the Mayor knew he k
heading up a backwoods lano. His ex

to "Happy" Johnson, his bodyguard,
that he was going to put another proj
ect on the waterways program a canal
straight from Philadelphia to Atlantic
City.
"Then," said the Mayor with a smile,
"we would no get lost; there's nothing
llko Water to keep you straight."
The convention was to open nt 2:30
in the afternoon, and as that hour
quickly passed and thero was no sign
of the Mayor, officials of the conven
tion began to bo concerned. They
finally telenhoned to Plillndnlnhtn and

nations in affecting tho conduct of
others. In tho latter case it is rela
tively unimportant what ncencv la cm.

Woman Wants Money Bach.
Minna J. Vile, a housekeeper of 140
SIgcl street, which is in the Twenty
ninth division of the First ward, de
manded that the Registration Com
missioners give back her fifty cents paid
for a tax receipt, when she appeared
before them this morning,
Mrs. Vilo explained that, though she
hadn't been assessed, a tax receipt had
been sold her at her polling place, and
she had been registered. Then tho
registrars discovered their error and
told her she could not vote.
"8o I came to get my money back,"
she explained.
"You can use the tax receipt for vo
ting next year," the Commissioners
told her.
"I don't want to use It next year,"
she protested. "I might be dead next
year."
It was explained that the commlsion
ers were powerless under the law to
help her, and that she would be obliged
to ask thc courts to remove her name
from the list, so that the record might
he straightened.
"I don't enre," snld tho applicant.
'I want my money baik, nnd I'm
going to get It. I'll go to nny lcngtb
to get my right. If I can't get It
here, I'm going to thc man who sold
me tho receipt."
The applicant departed on her way
to hunt up thc dhlslou official who
sold her the receipt. The commis
sioners said that if he hns not made
his returns, he can cancel thc record
and return Mrs. Vile's fifty cents.
Otherwise It's up to him to find a way
to soothe her outrned feelings.

Thirty-first htreet, made two appear
ances in the registration court todav.
the first time with, a tax receipt dated
September 4, the 'second time with a
receipt dated September 2.
The commNsIoners were unable to
get an explanation of the differing dates
and held the case under advisement
until they could consult counsel.
When Rosenbcrger presented his
September 4 tax receipt he was refused,
as it was two days beyond tho legal
time. An hour later he returned with
BVank Rabino, of 524 Washington

ntand. and having been permitted to
do so, said the tax recolpt held by )
Rosenbcrger, who is an old man nnd

Greet Confirmed Globo Trotter
Commissioners nnd attendants greeted
as nn old friend Edward J. Bell, of
1428 Spruce street, In tho Eleventh
division of the Seventh wnrd.
Mr. Bell, a wealthy retired business
man, is very much of a "globe trotter,"
nnd for ycarB has been forced to ap
ply to thc commissioners for his place
on the voting 'lists becnuse he Is always
somewhere else than in Philadelphia on
tho registration dajs.
This year he was in Mew i-;ngianu,
on bis way home from Canada. Be
fore the war it usually was somewhere
en route from Europe. He was granted
the right to be registered.
A safe deposit box, inaccessible on
Saturday afternoon, figured lu the (ap
plication of Dr. Barton J. Brown, of
182S West Tioga street, in thc sixth
division of the Thlrty-ciehth ward.
Doctor Brown was out of tho city on
the first two registration days, and on
the last could not get h's tax receipt
becauso It was locked up In his safe
deposit box. He was placed on the
rolls.
Miss Josephine Bright, of 1800
Spruce Btreet, in the ninth division of
the Seventh ward, was without a tax
receipt on the first two days, and on
the third had to be out of the city. She,
too, was registered.
For the first day of the hearings
there was a fairly largo crowd nt the
offico of the commissioners. ' Both men
and women were in evidence, the men,
however, predominating In numbeis.
The commissioners will sit until October
23.
