RIVER TRIP A FEATURE
A definite effort was made today te
pmphasize Phlladplphla's position as a
national engineering center wlien a
mnterlals handling symposium wns held
under the Chamber of Cemmerec
with thp ro-nperntiuii of the lpart
nipnt of Whnrvp, Decks nnd lVrries
The subject was "Materials Handling
In Its Relationship te Pert Develop
ment." In addition te the Chamber of
Commerce nnd the Kngineers' Club the
lecnl sections of the American Institute
of Electrical Englncrrs, Amprlcan So
ciety of Civil Engineers. American So
ciety of Mcehnnical Engineer?- and Ah
toeintinn of Iren and Steel Electrical
Engineers en-operated.
Take Trip en Klver
Following nn inspection trip en tlie
rivpr. luncheon was served at the Engi
neers' Club, following which the technl
i ill sessions began at the Chamber of
Commerce Aseniblj Roem. The
speakers were D. M. Petty, ehlpf plop
trleal engineer. Bpthlphem Steel Cem
pany; Cor roll It. Thompson. Awslslnnt;
Director Department Wharves, Decks
and Ferries; Colonel Fred Jnspcrsen,
assistant chief engineer P. and II., and
S C. I.ovelnnd.
Mr. Petty made n strong argument
for the electrification of Industrial plant
railways.
In pointing out the superiority of the
electric locomotive he said thnt the re
cent superpower survey disclosed the
fact thnt the electrification of 3.1 per
cent of tnj trnck mllenge Included In
the superpower zone would save 10,
000.000 tens of coal n jear.
"The experience of the New Yerk,
New Ilnven nnd Hartferd Hallway
Company," said Mr. Petty," shows
that for every 100.8 pounds of coal re
quired by n steutn locomotive In nrd
service, 3S.3 pounds of coal will de the
same work after electrification."
Te Attend Dinner Tonight
He said the elertrlc locomotive is net
subject te "creeping pnrnlyls." which
is common te the steam locomotive be
cause of foul boilers, worn cylinder
walls and valves. Mr. Petty said much
greater life can be expected from the
electric locomotive because there are no
boilers and cylinders te wenr nut.
A big subscription dinner will take
place this evening at the Bellevue
Stratford during which Dr. Julius
Klein. Director of the Federal Bureau
of Foreign and Demestic Commerce,
and Director Sproule will speak, and
Mujer Elihu C. Church, transportation
engineer of the Pert of New Yerk, will
show moving pictures en "The Cost of
Moving Material te and at a Pier."

FACILITIES HELD LACKING
Thp Beard of Trustees of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania has picked Themns
Sovereign Gates, Philadelphia banker,
te succeed Hampton T. Carsen, who
resigned as a trustee last spring.
The selection of Mr. Gates leaves two
mere vacancies te be filled en the benrd
of five created by death and rcslgnu.
tlens several months nge.
Following the announcement of Mr.
Gates election there wns u sentiment
ntneng University officials thnt there
wns strong connection between the new
heard member's affiliation with the
hanking firm of Drexel & Ce., nnd the
fact that the University plans a $10,
000.000 endowment drive next year.
The benrd has nlse denied admission
nf women studpnts te thp Towne Scien
tific Scheel. Lack of adequate facilities
in this school was given ns the reaseu
nnd officials declared that the nctlen
did net foreshadow a new University
policy.
The election recently of Clinrles
Day nnd of Dr. Charles J. Hatfield,
both Plillndclphians. nnd yesterdny of
Mr. Gates te the beard leaves the two
vacancies remaining te he filled by men,
who. it is belipvpd, will be splectcd pri
marily from alumni living outside of
the city or even outside of the State.
When the Benrd of Trutees mnde its
declaration of policy last spring, em
phasis wns laid upon the need for n
wider gpegruphlcnl distribution of
trustees. Tin ijcncral alumni were then
invited by the beard te nominate men
for the vacancies, having thnt point in
fit st consideration,
I'he fact that three of the five vacan
cies have new been filled by Phllndel
phians creates a wide belief among the
University officials that Mr. Gates' se
lection Is the Inst that will be made
from residents of this city.
The remaining vnoencies may be filled
ns the resuTl of un election by the
alumni nt large.
Mr Gntes wns graduated with honors
both from the College of the University
In the class of 1S0.1, and from the lav.
school in 1S0C. He was born lu Ger Ger
mantewn. March 21. 1R7.'!. end was the
son of Jabez Gntes nnd Isnbel Sovereign
Gates. Mr. Gates was married te Mary
Kmmn Gibsen, of this city, January 15,
1010.
He entered the law office of the late
Jehn G. Jehnsen, with which he was
connected until 100(1. He became trust
officer for the Pennsylvania Company
for Insurances en Liven nnd Granting
Annuities in 1000. In 1012 he became
vice president of the company. In
