I took refuge In his customary reply when

I totaled $150,000. The lawyer strove
to prove they were presents for the red.
' haired show girl.
Then Stlllman was asked thee two
lucstlons :
"Did you recently create a trust fund
ot $150,000 for her benefit? Did you
I recently create a trust fund of $150,000
(for the benefit of Jay Lewis, her
child?"
, But the monotonous "I refuse to

Itirae the banker went on to say:
"On the ground that it would tend

D'ANNUNZIO'S ADHERENTS
RAISE WAR CRY IN FIUME
Poet Calls on Followers to Conse
crate Themselves Anew
Hume, Jul 1.- (Uy A. P.)--fnp ,
,nn (inbrl(,lr' nnnunj.io's adherents
nre reorganizing their forces Into n
contingent which will respond to nn.v ,
emergency that aries here. The wai
cry has gone out to former followers
of the poet-soldier, and they nre con
gregating here and have already or- t
gnnized a bod called the "service Tri
est." IVAnnunzlo has sent out a mes
sage to his legionnries, saying:
"Thin year is ours. It belongs to the
legionaries and the Ardlti, and we ngaln
consecrate ourselves in one vast and
solemn bond."
Reports that the port of Hnross, be
tueen Fiumc and Sttssak, is to be sep
arated from Flume and ceded to Jugo
slavia have increased the excitement
here.
The lrgionnries claim they will "save
Fiume from being throttled by the loss
of Port Itnross." All Tinman parties
contend thnt Port Itnross is nn in
tegral part nf (he port of Flume, al
though the truiti of Hapnlln ceiltd it
to the Jugo-Slns
In his message to the leglonurics
D'Annunzlo said his Arditi had raised
the ilag of Italy above tin- port of
Ilaross, "which my desperate men de
fended for sixteen months. Three fell
dead, but the legionaries hnve not lost
honor nor hope. I.et us swear today
in one great throng."
There is much unrest iu the cit and
all party lenders have asked their fol
lowers not to carry arms in the streets.
The funernln of seven men killed in re
cent fighting were held yesterday amid
scenes of great solemnity.

Hughes Sees One Blessing
in Petroleum Controversy
Washington, July 1. Somebody
asked Secretary Hughes yesterday
whether oil had been discovered in
Panama.
"No. thank heaven I" was the ro
ply from nn official soul burdened
with the petroliferous affairs now
figuring so conspicuously In our ex
ternal relations in two hemispheres.
Weglein Is Stung
by Mayor's Charges
Continued from Pate One
hearing the other side, which I am not
generally inclined to do.'
"Later on in his statement." con
tinued Mr. Weglein, "Mr. Bureli said:
'I have refused mid always will refuse
to be influenced in my vote by the
Mayor's ambitions or hnlreds, espe
cially with matters relating ti countv
departments or the courts, ocr which
he has no direct jurisdiction.' "
Still quoting Mr. Burch's remarks,
Mr. Weglein continued:
Criticizes All Opponents
" 'No one ins been more sensitive
to criticism than the Mayor; yet, as
suming tiie position of infallibility, he
does not hestitnte to iriticize anybody
nnd everybody who does not agree with
him in nil his views.'
"ln the light of developments of the
last few days." went on Mr. Weglein,
giving Ills own views, "it is interesting
to recall the statements of the two West
INiiladelphia Councilmcn.
"It Is my business ns a member of
Council to aid in making the lnws for
our municipality, and it is the business
of th" Mayor to aid in carrying them
out, and any infractions of these laws
cannot be laid at the door of Council.
"ln conclusion, I am glad the Mayor
and the iJirector of Public Works have
decided on an orderly and lawful proce
dure In entry ing out the ordinance of
Council in regard to municipal street
cleaning."
When told of the threat made yester
day by Mr. Weglein, who incidentally
aspires to be the next city executive.
Mavor Moore dictated this statement :
"The Mayor has never been iu n more
cheerful frame of mind, us ho knows
where his pretended supporters stand.
"Wo have beaten them at their own
game for several months and now the
combine linn Ijeen driven to Its lair.
Will Not Sacrifice Dignity
"The big boss yesterday conferred
with them in helping them to lay out
their program. The Mayor has not an
swered the Insulting comment made by
certain members of the Council because
he does not consider it dignified to do
so. They probably would like to be
involved in a quurrel with the Mayor.
"The Mayor's messages to Council, If
they will be rend, will be seen to spenk
for themselves. They deal only with
the subject in hand and not with poli
tics or personal abuse: but tho Mnyor
certainly cannot resognizc the right of
any Councilman to interfere with or
control the executive department. The
law espei ially forbids this.
"Thev propose to Investigate, do
they? Let them begin! They are In
vited ! They are challenged ! They nre
defied !
"The Mnyor has nothing to conceal
nnd if there is anything concealed about
the departments or bureaus, let it be
brought out. The only thing the Mayor
wants is equal nnd exact justice.
"If Council declines to investigate
the departments nnd bureaus, but still
wishes to investigate, let it recall the
Sears -Roebuck incident.
Turns to llio Seventh Ward
"Let it investigate vice conditions
in the Seventh Ward ; let it begin nn
Inquiry in the Twentieth Wnrd; let
It tnke up the registration list in the
Tentli and Fifteenth Wnrds; let it

Trigg's Recommendations to
Be Considered by Council
Committee Today
APPEALS FOR HARMONY
Krnest T. Trigg, one of the city's
representatives on the Hopid Transit
Col's Board of Directors, will suggest
that the city build its own shops nnd
power house for the Frankford "Ii,"
nt this afternoon's meeting of Council's
Committee on Transportation nnd Pub
lie Utilities.
Mr. Trigg has addressed a letter to
the chairman nnd members of the com
mittee, which will be read, embodying
this nnd several other important 'sug
gestions. One of these is thnt provision be made
for the growth of the city iu population
nnd Industry, and consideration given
to tho possibility of tho city ultimately
taking over ownership of subway -elevated
and surface trackage.
Another suggestion in Mr. Trigg's
letter deals with tho creation of greater
harmony nnd mutual understanding be
tween the city, tho transit company nnd
the public.
A third suggestion Is thnt provision
bo made immediately for the deficit of
more thnn $000,000 which both the
city's engineers nnd tliose employed by
the trnuslt company ngrcc will be In
curred the first yqar of the Frankford
Klcvated.
Colonel Potter to Attend Meeting
Colonel Rheldnn PAtfer. fnrmerlv one
of tho city's representatives on the
Hoard of Ulrcctors, has announced that
ho will be at the meeting of the com
mittee. City Solicitor Smyth nnd Di
rector Twining also will bo present, nt
Mayor Moore's request, to supply ex
planations or figures that tho commit
tee may need.
Tho City Solicitor Is expected to mnkc
a plain statement of the Administra
tion's method In regard to the Frankfortf
elevated.
Trigg's Letter
Mr. Trigg's letter follows in part:
"Tho proposed lease as origlnallv pre
sented provides that the P. It. T.
shall expend approximately 5000,000 in
the enlargement of Its present facilities
to supply the nowcr nnd shop capacity
required, thereby saving the city from
the necessity of an estimated expen
diture of ?1 ,.100,000 for such facilities.
"This proposed lenso further and
necessarily contains certain cancellation
privileges. I feel that, notwithstand
ing the greater immediate investment
which it would require on the pnrt of
the city to provide its own Indepen
dent power nnd shop facilities, that It
should nevertheless do so In order that n
complete nnd Independent system may
be thereby crented, which system could
be turned over to the P. R. T. or any
other operating compnny for operation,
and which might bu taken back by the
city at any time, subject to contract
requirements so far as cancellations arc
concerned, without embnrrassment to
either the city or the operating com
pany. "Scpnratn nnd distinct units owned
by the city nnd turned over to whomso
ever Is selected for operation would seem
to he the safe course to follow and pre
vent possible misunderstandings nnd
confusion In the future.
"I.et me say that I am deeply im
pressed with tho desirability of elimi
nating as far as possible all chanco for
further misunderstanding and confusion
on the part of the public ns to the real
state of nffairs with regard to the tran
sit situation in Philndclnhin.
"The present critical attitude on the
part of the public Is due, I nm sure, in
a large measure ut least, to the absence
of thnt completo harmnnv between the
city und the company which must exist
between tho partners in nny business
operation it it is to he most successful.
"As a stop toward removing cause
tor triction netweon the partners in
this situation, thnt is, the city and the
company, mny I suggest that inasmuch
as the city hns already a considerable
transit investment nnd is committed to
u substantial further investment thnt
you might well consider in any compre
hensiug plans for the future: the ultl.
mnto completo ownership by the city of
subway-elevated and surfuce tracks und
other permanent construction, leaving
to private initiative und management
me operation ot tne property and the
supplying of the cars und other de
prccintnblo equipment.
"Turning nguin to the lease, I do not
find anything therein which provides or
plans to tnko care of the deficit to he
incurred through the operation of the
Frankford elevnted nnd Bustleton line.
The engineer for the Department of
City Transit nnd tho engineer for the
Philadelphia Bapid Transit Co. aro In
agreement lu a letter dated Mnv 24 thnt
I "I note that in n letter addressed
to the .Mayor hy the president of the
company on March iirf tho suggestion
that the company, with the approval
of the Public Servico Commission, would
'undertake, the added burden Imposed
by tin: Frankford L und Bustleton line
without increasing the basic fare of
Si'ven cents cash, but with the change
to five tickets for thirty. fivo cents
instead of four tickets for twenty-five
cents, as now.'
"ln the Mayor's letter of transmittal
to t ouneii duicn .May ,il Im makes ref
erence to this letter from the nrcsldent
of the company dated March 2fi, but
noes not comment on tne suggestion
quoted nliove. I do not sec how any
form of lease can he definitely decided
upnu unless all parties nro ngreed on so
important a point as taking enre of a
loss of ?!l2r,000 for the first year."
