An nttnck upon the charters of the
underlying compnnlei of tho Philadel
phia Rapid Transit Co. will he the next
move In the fight of the Tnltcl Ilusi
ness Men's Association for lower trolley
fares.
This was nnnonneed todny by C.
Oscar Ueasley, counsel for the com
pany. This projected move follows the
decision of the Supreme Court yesterday
that the Public Service Commission has
no jurisdiction over rentals paid by
the P. IJ. T. Co. to the underlying
corporations.
"Within two weeks" said Mr.
Bcoslcy, "the Pnited Husiness Men's
Association will ask permission from
Attorney General Alter to begin quo
wnrranto proceedings ngninst the
underlying compnnies. In these pro
ceedings we will nsk by what right
these companies continue to hold thclt
charters.
"Tho position we take is that they
have no right to be regarded as legal
corporations, for two reasons. The first
of these Is that their stock Is not fully
paid up, and the second that they are
paying a 0 per rent dividend on un
issued stock.
No Specific Control Over Hentnls
"The decision of the Supreme Court
Indicated that the act creating the com
mission did not give it specific control
over rentals. Therefore this I'nlted
Business Men's Association will strive
to send to the next session of the Legis
lature men pledged to revive and sup
port the Millar bill, defeated in the last
Legislature, which would give, the Com
mission specific Jurisdiction over rent
als." Mr. Boasley took the ground the Su
preme Court decision definitely removed
rentals from any protection. .o that the
Commission would be justified in dis
regarding the rentals paid these un
derlying companies In fixing what wnuli
be a just rate of fare.
Position Not Now One
Samuel Hosenbnum, Assistant City
Solicitor in charge of transit matters,
nald the Supreme Court's position in re
gard to rentals was not n new one.
and In fact coincided with what had
been held in the City Solicitor's office.
The City Solicitor, he said, had always
held that the matter of rentals did not
properly figure In tho question of what
was the just and proper fare to be al
lowed the Transit Co.
"Our office regards the present valu
ation proceedings before the commission
as more Important than was the case
before the Supreme Court," said Mr.
Hosenbaum, "because once -the valua
tion is completed, the commission will
be able to determine the just rate of
fare without regard for the rentals paid
underlying companies.
"The City Solicitor's office is not in
a position to make nn official statement
on the Supreme Court decision, both be
cause we have not yet received a copy
of the decision and because City So
licitor Smyth Is out of town. When he
returns there will be a conference of
the various agencies concerned."
Commenting on yesterday's session of
Council's Committee on Transportation,
Mayor Moore said there wos no reason
to call individual members of Council
or any other persons into the frequent
conferences between the city's nnd P.
It. T. lawyers. lie emphasized that tho
law department and the city transit
department have always been nt the
service of Council.

He wns waiting for n car at Frank
ford avenue and Tiogn street when n
big nnd husky youth who, the police
say, was .Michael Lcplnenskl, llridgc

him n hard luck story.
"I'm out of work." said this young
mnn In mournful tone, "nnd I've no
place to go nnd no money to buy food,"
Stephens wns imnrcHsccl and drew
out his roll. "Here," said he. "take
this and I hope you II get work soon.'
He gave tho man a $."i bill.
"Thank you," said the 'other. "I've
got it poor friend who Is worse off than
I am. His wife and poor little chlhlrrn
are In a terrible state." The husky
youth pointed him out. "There he Is,"
said he, "over there with those two
others." The "poor friend," according
to the police, wns Joseph Parney, Lip
plncott street nenr Ambler. He came
over and in turn told Ills tale of woe.
Listened to tho Tale of Woe
Stephens was Impressed. Feeling
trulj charitable, he decided he would
see the distressed fnniil) The two
companions of the men ho had be
friended went along nlsn.
The five were nnsslnp n hull l-i-ninuU

tette took the other end. Suddonl
they rni-ed the stick between them,
walking at either side of Stephens, nnd
jcrkct it suddenly back, under the
nstonished victim's chin. They tumbled
hi mdnwii over a big rock by the side
of the road.
"(Jet his money," he heard one of
them yell.
"Take his clothes that's a good
stilt," said another.
Vlrt'ni Stripped Literally
The four proceeded to strip him ncntly
and completely, down to his union suit.
They ran and Stephens yelled. A
watchman tired his revolver nnd

LOSS OF STATE AIO
Many Charitable Institutions in
Quandary Over Need
of Funds
SECTARIAN ISSUE ENDS
Managers of sectarian hospltnls nnd
charitable Institutions- in the Stnte are
in n quandary today ns to the means
for continuing the work of their or
ganizations in face of the deficits faced
as a result of the Supreme Court
decision handed down yesterday, cut
ting off State aid.
This decision settles n long fight that
has been cnrrlcd on In the courts against
State aid to sectarian institutions.
Sixty-seven Protestant, Jewish nnd
Catholic institutions will como under
this ruling, according to the Anti
Sectarlan Appropriation Association,
nt 1001 Chestnut street, which bns been
active in the fight against appropria
tions to sectarian institutions. A
tinnncial crisis is precipitated for many
Institutions.
The specific institutions under fire
were the Institution to Protestant
Deaconesses, nt Dubois; St. Timothy's
Memorial Hospital and Home of Mercy,
nt Roxborough; Diinuosne I'nlvorsitv of
the Holy Chnst. Pittsburgh: the Sisters
of Mercy of Crawford nnd Erie counties,
nnd the Jewish Hospital of this city.
Suits in which the decision was orig
inally rendered were begun In the
Dauphin County courts by Willis Col
Assoriation, to restrain the State Treas
urer from paying appropriations to the
Institutions mentioned, on the ground
thnt it wns unconstitutional. Judge
Wickerslinm dismissed the suits on the
ground that the corporate name of au
institution does not render the institution
denominational or sectarian, nnd thus
deprive It of State aid.
Justice von Mo.vclulskor said in his
opinion:
"We nre alwovs loath to put a con
struction on legislation which shows it
to be invalid, but if constitutions nre
to command general icsneet and obedi
ence the people must know that their
coiuts will constantly endeavor to in
terpret them accoiding to the commonly
accepted understanding of the words
used therein: and when this rule Is
ii" "ed to the fnets before us the re
sult is inevitnnie.

should be kept afloat nnd what the per
sonnel should be j also thnt Admiral
Coontz wns responsible for the nnvnl
estimates of this year of StWO.OOO.OOO.
which the House cut to $.100,000,000.
Tho Admiral's estimates this year, in
Mr. Kelley'g opinion, disqualify him
from making future estimates if tho aim
of tho Administration is to be economy.
Suggests Colonel Roosevelt
Mr. Kelley suggested to Mr. Denby
that ithe representative of the Navy De
partment in budget making should be u
civilian, preferably the'Assistnnt Secre
tary, Theodore Roosevelt, who should
bnvo arsochtcd with him Rear Admiral
Peoples, recently acting paymntter gen-iral.
Admiral Peoples was trnined under
Paymaster General McOowun. who
made n remarkable' record of efficiency
as tho head of the Navy Purchasing De
portment, nnd it is held that his ex
perience in buying for the navy would
bo vnluoblo in making estimates.
Admiral Coontz takes tho professional
view of the naval officer which naturally
inclines to a big navy, a largo personnel
nnd llbernl expenditures.
It is inevitable that nn officer In his
position, having pride in tho service and
emphasizing its importance, should have
larger ideas of how much money is
necessary for it, than does n Congress
man faced with tho necessity of cutting
down tnxes and keeping tho total re
quirements of the Government within
reasonable limits.
ThU dispute between the departments
and Congress is old. It flamed up
more brightly this year in the fight of
the House to reduce the army and
nnvy personnel than it ever has before,
becauso of the Immense increased cost
of both departments resulting from the
war. And the sharp criticism of Ad
miral Coontz by Congressman Kelley
shows that under the new system of
budget-making it will be keener thnn
ever.
Ptrsonal Jealousy Involved
In the case of Congressman Kelley
nnd Secretnry Denby tho dispute is
sharpened by some personal jealousy.
Mr. Kelley was himself n receptlvt
candidate for the bceretaryshln of the
nnvy. The Secretary preferred to him
a man from his own Stnto who ap
parently had no especial qualifications
for the post nnd no strong political
backing. Mr. Kolley is not reconciled
to what happened.
Criticism of the Navy Department's
attitude toward economy is sharp in the
llnni The other dnv Itenresentative
Butler, of Pennsylvania, ciialrmnu of
the House Committee on Naval Affairs,
ami Representative Kelley, asserted In
debate that the nnvy wns wasting $50,
000,000 a year by keeping useless naval
vessels in commission.
They suggested Congress should make
an Investigation, decide what ships were
unnecessary and ordcr-them to bo sold
for junk. Iji this way they said n
large saving in personnel could be
effected.
It wns asserted that more thnn 100
obsolete ships and small craft could bo
discarded without in nny way reducing
the military efficiency of the navy. For
example. Dewey's flagship, the Olympla,
Is still in commission in Puget Sound.
On board It Is a crew of .152 meu. In
addition, there are twenty-six other old
vessels acquired during the Spanish -American
War, still in commission.
Obsolete and Useless
The Congressmen declare them to h
obsolete nnd useless, which seems prob
nble. They have on bonrd 1000 men
There nre eight or nine old battleships
with .1300 men now cruising with
Annapolis cadets, and of no military
value. These battleships, however, will
soon go out of commission.
And there is a legacv from the lnte
war In the shape of 170 small yachts
and submarine chasers and other small
vessels, designated ns distinct craft for
patrolling the roast and harbors- in the
late war. To these are assigned 20SS
men.
An Instnnce nf whnt Congressmen
call Now extravagance Is the manning
of the de.stisi)ers held In reserve. There
nre 175 of these. Their crew when In
commission would be 114 men. Lying
idle, the Nnvy wished to keep nbout
fifty-seven men on each of them, a
total of 10,070 men
Tlie House In this case refused the
Navy's request nnd decided thnt about
half thnt many men would be enough
Tho Congressmen declared that for the
nctunl operation of the battleships nud
destroyers in commission nnd fit for
service, .1.1,000 men would be adequate.
There is, unndubtedly much truth
in the criticisms of Congress against
tho Navy. Oflicers nre naturally big
Navy men. They could hardly be
otherwise, and they nre impressed with
the necessity of being prepnred in case
of wnr Moreover, they hnve a per
sonal interest In the Nine of tho per
sonnel authorized by Congress.
If Congress is moved to cut down
the authorized personnel, promotions
for oflicers will como more slowly,
Automatically the number nf officers 'of
every grade would be reduced. The
number actually holding the vnrlous
grndes now would be excessive. Pro
motions would stop until requirements
had brought the number of officers be
low the percentage allowed hv law.
Tho criticism of Admiral CoohU'b
selection shows the dlttlciiltv of economy
in budget making. No budset chief can
know the nctunl needs of nil depart
ments. In th ii last analysis he must
depend upon some representative o'f tho
departments nnd bureau. And the de
pnrtmont representatives on budget
making will inevitably have nn exnlted
notion of the importunco of his own
department.
A permanent budget organization,
like thnt of which Genernl Dawes is
chief, will hnve the advantage over n
Congress committee In working con
tlnuously upon appropriations nnd in
being less swnyed by political con
siderations thnn are Congressmen.
But it will be human nfter all. It
can nccompllh no mlrncles. When
secretaries appoint ns tho budget rep.
resentntlves men who have large ideas
of department needs, the budget makers
will be more or less at their mercy.
