Fililptlt, Friday, Ftbrutr :4, 19:1 THE TRANSIT FICHT frVTHH fight for control of the P. It. T. X Company will continue until the nnuunl Meting of the stockholders en March 13. e supporters of Mr. Mitten among this irchelders have givei. Iilni their proxies. be opponents of Mr. Mitten, who are seek g te curtail Lis power and revere his policies, are working night aud day te fsecure proxies enough te give te them the trtes of a majority of the 000,000 shares. The closing of the transfer books this f eeU makes It difficult for either bide te Increase holdings by purchase, although it jsees net make it impossible. Centr.u n of mrchase can still be made un condition thut my proxy that may have been ghen be iclnded and new proxies Issued, l're'-.-ure lay be brought te bear upon some vhare- lelders who have siven their proxies te the Mitten management te induce them te lasuc new proxies te the SulHvnn-Mont-kemery faction In the Beard of Trustees. j. The protection of the interests of the public Is Involved in the ucce uf tlie ilUten mamigemeut. Mr. Mitten lias done ylth the company what experts thought m Impossible. He has brought iibeut Mich kearty co-operation between the men and the mnnascment as te reduce the cost of Operation and te Increase the income. He has paid dividends en its stock and he has announced that he can de it again this year If be is supported by the men. t But he is offering te the men :i bonus Contingent en their earning it. Such a use ( money Is abhorrent te the real Interests who are opposing Mr. Mitten. They se cretly say that he is paying tee high wages jjew and that there nre men enough out of employment te man ail the curs at lower wages than nre new paid. If their plans are carried out, all that Mr. Mitten has Sjpent eleven jears in building up will be tern down nnd labor disputes will beKln at Se and the car service will suffer and the pie will be inconvenienced. f The real objection te Mr. Mitten is that lie has devised an enlightened plan for taking the cmplejcs into partnership and enlisting their interest in the profitable operation of tie- lines. This sort of thing Is repugnant tip the old school of corporation managers, who hire emplejes In the lowest market as uiey buy steel rails and ignore the fact that j man is an Intelligent agent from whom lpuch or little can be get according as he it treated fairly or unfairly. THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE JOHN BAimnTT. who was commi-siene.-O genera! for foreign affairs for the St. ,lkuls Fair, has indorsed the view fre quently expressed in this city tb.it the selection of a director general for the pro pre Xrascd fair in lilUG should precede almost everything else. ( He remarks that we sera te be putting the cart before the horse in selecting u site before wc have done anything cUe of im portance. The usual procedure, according te him, Is te form an organization, then te eeeurc a director general and then te seWt the site with the ndvice of the director gen eral. And when these tilings have been done the plan for the fuir has been made and the campaign for menej started.

SENATOR LODGE'S CHICKENS ARE COMING HOME TO ROOST A Foreign Relations Committee. Packed te Make War en Wilsen, May War Upen Harding, Toe SENATOKS Brnndegee nnd Pemercne have presented reservations te the Four Power Treaty devised for the limitation of naval nrmnments. A fleck of reservations nre said te be hatching In the mind of Mr. Berah. Senater .lohnsen has offered a reservation which, if it were adopted, would rob the treaty of half its meaning nnd, what is mere, give one or two of the Powers n coveted opportunity te plunge again Inte the game of military expansion nnd rivalry. Senater France calls the terms of the treaty treasonable. When the Foreign Relations Commlttee meets tedny te resume consideration of a blanket rcsenatlen suggested by President Harding, nnd promptly rejected yesterdny, no one In Censress will knew the stnte of its mind or the drift of Its purposes. Mr. Ledge the smooth nnd relentless Mr. Ledge, of Massachusetts, who had the Foreign Be Be intiens Committee packed when he wns thinking of nothing but plans te crush Mr. Wilsen's Lcaguo-ef-Nations covenant is new confronted with some rather startling consequences of his own work. Berah, Johnseu, Brnndegee, McCermlck nnd Mecs, summoned te the committee te help kill the Versailles Treaty, may preve te be no mere friendly te a treaty Intended te preserve peace in the Pacific. Bread cast upon the waters returns nftcr many dnys, even in the Senate of the United States. Thus far thcr tins been no clearly defined anti-treaty miement In the Senate. But the qucruleupness of the Jehnsen-Hitchcock group, the whispers of doubt nnd the wring ing of senatorial hand may easily bring about a contagion of funk in Congress and suspicion and n sense of doubt throughout the ceuntr. Hew many Americans have taken the treub'e te read and analyze the text of the Four-Power Treaty? A tiny minority, of course. Few per-ens will realize thnt the pence of the world waits upon peace in the Senate. Was President Harding in error when he ordered a cessation of work en new warships? Mut we brace ourselves for a plunge into an era of hell nnd high taxes such as never before was known In the United States? The danger is r.et that the Senate may rejet the treaty, but that It mny se burden it with reservations that one or mere of the co-operating Powers will feel justified in bowing themseUes out of an agreement which they accepted with mere or les re luctance. Then we should have thrown away the Inst hope for International peace by agreement. The asserted devils of wars and armament would again hnve the world for their own. Hiteheiiek and the ether Democrat en the Ferenin Ut'Intiuns Committee are said tn be grlml.v waiting te avenge Weed row Wi'sen en Ledge and the Harding Administration. Jehnsen, in his slings at the Japanese, is playing California politics. But there is, tee, the eenfuMns and seemingly ineradica ble factor of senatorial vanity. The Senate still regard Itself f.s the exclusive keeper of the national conscience, the only trust worth guide nnd protector of the country. The Four-Power Treaty actually repre sents n sincere effort of the four leading Powers of the world te settV b discussion and agreement questions which otherwise would liae te be etitled by force of arms. Nothing of the constitutional power of our Government w-as bartered or mitigated. Nene of our rights was in any way endan gered. The reservations Fiiggcted by Ilr.indegee and Jehnsen are wholly super fluous and intended, seemingly, only te ob struct Senate action and delay nnd confuse dic;issieu iu and out of Congress. Fer all we knew at this moment, n majority of the Foreign Halation:) Committee ma fellow the lead of the bitter-enders rather than the lead of the President and Mr. Ledge. Such reservations as hnve been offered represent a further effort of the Senate te nssume the initiative in diplomatic affairs Senater Jobn3en demnnds a definition of the term "rights" as it is empiejed iu the treaty te indicate areas in which one or another Power mny justly exercise political or governmental power. It is provided In ether reservations offered by Peraerene and Brandegie thnt any policy of future action suggested by the terms of the trenty may be summarily vetoed in the Senate. Vet theie is no whiper or word in the treaty intended te question the ancient right of Congress te the exclusive authority te de clare war. Brandegte gees further. He would specifically wilte Inte the treaty u clause und' r whiih the United States would be left free of "any legal or moral obliga tions" te preuct tile rights of ether nations as they ere defined in the agreements. Yet the very eslstencu of the treaty would re lieve in, forever of any such duty, as Pom Pem erenc must knew The Senate is the Senate. It has net changed time Wilsen' day. It seems able te leek unmoved toward a period of re new id militnrium that, If it arrives, may break net only the heart of the world but its buck as well. PROHIBITION'S RIDDLES I NO iiv NCOMPLKTi: reports of an address de- ereil nt ntthtmria by .Mr. Prugh. chuiiman of the Allied Prohibitionists In this Slate, wi'l cause nn upward rustiinp; of ejebrews amnn? people everywheie who have been p.iiiied and puzzled by the fall -tire of Velsteadi"m te live up te its original premises, "Prohibition," ."aid Mr. Prugh, "came te us by the wrong read. Instead of putting u party pledged te the i rohlhltlen idea in power und then enacting the necessary Icgls Icgls lutlen, we passed the laws und then put tliem in the hands of their enemies for en forcement. We failed te realize thnt the wets controlled the major party machines." If the two parties dominant in Congress were, eh Mr. Prugh implies, opposed te the theory of prohibition reflected in the Vol Vel stead act. and if the wets controlled lie- publican and Democratic party machinery, teTO.- bow did the present dry lawa get through Congress? That is one riddle. A greater one con fronts the enforcement officials, who are saying In Washington that larger quarters, a separate Federal department nnd greater appropriations will be necessary te dry en forcement. Such facilities will certainly be required te step or even effectively check the sale nnd Importation of red liquor. Meanwhile the whole question of prohibi tion enforcement has shifted te new nnd dangerous ground. In its newer nnd mere troublesome form it does net grew out of the offenses of bootleggers, large or small, who smuggle whisky into the country or peddle It about. Unquestionably the most cerieus factor in the general situation is the privately operated still. It is new te be found everywhere. It is In innumerable homes. It is operating te turn out great quantities of moonshine which are bcins stored in thousands of secret places for consumption or secret distribu tion in the future. Seme Investigators es timate thnt the private stills are new making mere se-called whisky than the distilleries made In the prc-Velstead days. Unless en forcement officers nre given the right te rnld privnte dwellings nnd ether buildings with out notice or warrants they will continue te be nt a great less in dealing with moon meon moen shiners. Yet thnt right is one that will net be granted them until the Constitution is further amended, and until Congress is made up wholly of zealous drys. This new nspect of the dry problem Is causing n great deal of worry nmeng all people who happen te be 'sincerely Inter ested In the prohibition theory. Bnt en en fencment officers say little about it. What can they say? WHAT IS A FAIR RENT? THE New Yerk Stnte courts nnd the Fed eral District Court in New Yerk nre new In agreement en the fair rental value of real estate. In cases growing out of the rent-fixing laws they have decided that the lnndlerd is entitled te 10 per cent return en the value of his property. The Federal court puts it nt 10 per cent nnd the Stnte court puts it nt S per cent net nfter tnxes nnd fixed ehnrges ure paid. By fixed charges the court means the cost of main taining an apartment house. Including heat ing and janitor service. This has been the theoretical return which real estate men have for years insisted should be earned by rental property if it is te be n profitable investment. It lias been exceeded in the cheaper forms of property, but it has seldom been equaled In residence property worth above Sl.'i.OOO. Conditions for the last tluee or four years hnve been exceptional, for Jfi, "0 and even 30 per cent of the nermnl value of houses have bcn collected in lent. It was this exorbitant charge which led the New Yerk Legislature te pns i' Bent Laws. Tenants In this State, however, have no redress. They have been compelled te sub mit te extortionate charges. Private houses of a rental value of 1000 have been turned into npnrtments for which !?:'.000 or mere have been collected. And the lent of private houses In many cases has been doubled. When building is resumed en a large Fcnle the rents will have te come down te a mere reasonable figure.

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT Publicity and Hew It la 8emetlmaa Achieved by Old Hands, With a' Mera or Less Apt Illustration By SARAH D. LOWRIE ALMOST every new thing that is being launched hns ns a booster what Is known as a publicity committee. Part of the business of the publicity committee Is te get some notice of the coming event Inte the newspapers. There nre two ways te get Inte newspa pers. One is in the form of news; one is in the form of nn ndvertlscmcnt. Spncc for nn ndvertlsemcnt costs money, and for the purpose of a philanthropic or n civic orgnnizntien n geed deal of space Is required, nnd thnt, tee, en n conspicuous pnge in order te cntch the nttcntlen of the erdlnnry citizen reader; for nn ndvertlso ndvertlse ment for philanthropy must clamor a little for him te recognize its possible interest te him. There is nothing n philanthropic orgnni ergnni orgnni znteon dislikes mere thnn te pny money for nn iidvertlscmenl. As n consequence it generally decides te icgnrd its information for the public in the light of news, nnd ns such authorizes its publicity committee te "get it into the newspnpers." BUT what is called news by the publicity committee of n philanthropic organiza tion 1m net nlwnys news te the public, and enrccly ever news te the city editor. Fncts tnken from n printed report that has been sent te subscribers nre net newt apparently te any one except the publicity chairman, who mnils the report te the city editor, with the request thnt he ptit It into the paper. The fact thnt the Institution is very much in need of money, thnt it Is in need of equipment nnd that Inst yenr'n deficit hns te be ndded te the coming yenr't Is net news te nny of the subscribers, but it is sent te the city editor ns news. The fact thnt tickets ere te be sold nnd the price of admittance te nn cntcrtninment Is te be from $2 te $.1. with reserved seats fifty cents extra, is net newspaper news; it Is newspaper ndvertlsemcnt, but the pub licity chairman calls it news nnd sends it te the city editor. If the city etlter took the publicity chnlr man's advice as te what is news and printed the reports of the fairs: nnd rummage sales, and round-table luncheons, subscription lec tures and bridge parties with their prices, and with their purposes te till the coffers of this or that, because of this or that deficit, owing le this or that philanthropic enterprise, nud if he should nt the same time add detail" from the printed reports sent te ,iim for the purpose, he would have turned his paper into nn ndvertising sheet, pure and simple. But. ns the paid adver tisements pav for being In a newspaper, net in nn ndvertisins sheet, he would be, keeping faith neither with them nor with the public which bus the paper. ALL this gees without saving te most business persons, but apparently many persons engaged in charitable enterprises are net business persons, hence the nearly al ways futile planning te get newspaper nd vcrtisemeut free for one's own pet chnrity and the thankless job of being a publicity chairman. Of ceurfc. there is the ether method, resorted te by torue business otgnnlzatiens and by some religieua or civic or philan thropic organizations. There is the go between known as the publicity agent. He is ccnernllv n newspaper writer with n sort of intermittent footing en one or mere newspapers nnd n geed knowledge of me-t newspaper itaffa in the town. Fer a certain sura per month or per enr lie .agrees te turn nil the information the organization wishes gotten te the public into a form of news ihnt will be acceptable te the city edi tors. II makes n "htery" out of some side hnppcnlug nnd with this a3 aa open sesame gets the real substance ever te the public. He generally prepares a little at n time and defends en the recurrent impression te ie the work lather than all the facts nt once. A geed publicity agent get anywhere from SltiOO te 0,C00 u year, nnd he is a very welcome man te the newspapers If lie is really geed, because what he tells is news, nnd news the public ought te knew. But if he is never se geed u writer, nnd et is pushiag a doubtful cause, he hns great dif ficulty in getting his stuff across. a Tlinitl" is just one mere way a publicity chairman may get the account of her organization's plans into the dally news without pnjing n publicity agent nnd with out pajing for advertising space. She may knew n elumn writer nnd ix'-k him te give a contribution te the cnue by writing some thing that the city editor will feci is news nnd be glad te print, or If the column is en the editorial page then it must be some thing thut the editor himself will pass upon as editorial news. New there are certain things that can be turned into very legitimate stories for col umn wiiteis nnd cditeis te use, nnd ether tilings that don't belong no mnttcr hew Intei i sted uud sympathetic the news writer feel... Fer one thing is certain : ue staff writer has the use of n column for personal ends either of blame or praise, boosting or swatting. r TUB ether day, for instai.ee, I received an envelope containing the fellow ins things the author dc-lred lnseited In this column for tin- yoed of the public und the satisfac tion of his soul : A se-enlled "Senate Bill" that hns never been lepertcd nnd filed In the Senate.

McLAUGHLIM On Electricity in Running a City ELKCTB1C1TY plays a tremendous part In the physical administration of a great city nnd of these brunches of the science which nre used most, the wireless is ultimately destined te piny the biggest pnrt, nccerdlng te Chief Jnmes F. McLaughlin, of tbe Fleetrlcal Bureau. "Electricity, and especially wireless work," sold Chief McLnughlln, "is one of the most serious sciences In the world. c have seen in n comparatively short space of time what miracles huve been accomplished , through electricity, and I would hesitate te predict what we shall see in the next twenty ears. In the City of Philadelphia we are constantly experimenting with the possibili ties of the wireless, and I believe thnt I nm safe In saIng thnt if the work we nre new conducting gees well und the results turn out as we hope nnd expect that they will. Philadelphia will be the first city In the Fnien te huve n practical s.vstcm of wiic less iu operation. "The possibilities of the wireless in the use of the city nre unlimited und its ad vantages nre manifest. As tilings new stnnd. the transmission of messages depends te n large extent upon the physical condi tion of the wires and the equipment. When the wires go down, or the equipment gets out of order, it is impe'slble te send mes sages ever them, nnd nil matters, whether they are important or net, mu'-t wait. Wireless Corrects This "But the utn of a wireless i,ystem would correct nil this. The grent departments of the city would no longer be at the mer-y of a set of wires, which may at any time be rendered useless by a big tire or ether event beyond human control. "In the use of the wireless technical con siderations often enter. Fer example, there nre some places where It is impossible te get messages from the nir. But there is no mores important branch of the city govern ment than -the Blectiical Buicuu, and none in which greater care must be exercised in the correctness of the apparatus. The ether departments arc entirely dependent upon us for the correct transmission of their mes sages nnd signals, and it is of the utmost Importance that thc-e be correctly nnd un failingly transmitted. Therefore, tbe wire less will net be Installed for usu until we are positively certHln that it can be de pended upon every time und all of the time. The Important Questions "There nre several important matters In regard te the wireless situation. One of these Is the matter of transmission. Be celvlng ii easy and any one with u wireless receiver can pick up wiiut is going through the nir, provided the instrument ia 'tuned In' te the wave length of the instrument send ing the mes.-nge or tbe agency transmitting the round. "But sending is another matter, nnd this is the hnrdest of the problems which we hnve te solve ut present. Kxpciiments are being made nil the time, nnd I believe thnt we shall ultimately achieve the results which we arc seeking. In receiving, ns I have Bald, it li simply n matter of 'tuning in' and then listening te whnt comes ever the wires. Sometimes the listener can get It nnd nt ether times he cannot, nnd this is something which must be thoroughly con quered Lefere the wireless will seive its ultimate ends in municipal service. We must .have instruments which can be depended en all of the time, both in sending and in re ceiving. Wireless in Police Werk "A geed deal hns been snid nnd written nbeut the witch's Iu police work. It is trim that there ure limitless possibilities In this direction if we can overcome ceitaln dllili'tiltles new existing. But In pelice uud lire mutters there cannot be any mistakes. "One of the greut troubles nbput the wireless new is the fact that there is no scirccy about It. There will he some day, bevetul uuy doubt, but nt the present time any one can listen in. The disadvantage of this is dear. There Is nothing te prevent clever creeks from Installing their own wireless apparatus and listening te what ever plans are made for their capture, If these nre transmitted by-wireless, "The really dangerous creek ia a pretty sharp kind of fellow, and It would net be long befere be would have tUa own wire lout in operation undsr tbe present system. Tbte feature, therefore, must be eliminated -J . 1 "TIT NERVY CUSS!" i iiai'U- -. r.w . l.i rrt-m-- . .fmr 1 I -ir - -.. - . ... aaaaHiBaai - . iaaaav - - - .:,' - a,l&flTfJiA?X S5 ' .-p." m"mA,J.U! f-v 1-Frr-Zii" Vj ZJi' .stfeVT,,,..

That is, we must be able te send messimes where we want them te go without nny dnnger thnt they will be picked up by the wrong pnrtlcs und used te defeat the cuds of justice, ns they assuredly would be. Wireless en Autes "The suggested equipping of automobiles with wireless is te my mind far in the future. It will ptebably come some day, but that day is distant. Whrn the matters of transmission nnd of being nble te send messages where ou want them te go und nowhere else nre fully solved there will be literally no cud te the possibilities of wire less police wetk, und the mutter of the equipment of nutomeblles will deubtles" be one of tiie features of the city wireless program. "Ne man in Ids senses cr.n snfeiy say Hint nn.v thing electricul cannot be done. We have sien tee much of the gigantic develop ment of the science within the last quarter of n centuiy te make such a stntement either ws(. or jusiiiiah'e.

It is an immense place, with nbeut 700 rooms, nnd ns the wetk increased and additional lights were ndded the circuit became over loaded, heating the transmission wires far beyond the safety point. I was obliged te nsk for an appropriation of .f.'d.OliO for the rewiring of the Hull te make it safe ugulnst fire, "Then came the tungsten development of the science of electric lighting. With the Installation of these only n small fraction of the curii'iit needed for the old cailien lights wn, requited, the rewiring wns net neccu Miry nnd the city saved the umeuut which would otherwise have been needed. Help for the City "The City of Philudelphla has just re ceived some very substanti.ij help in experi menting witli the wireless piebleius which must he solved. Mr. Herace A. lleale, presi dent of the Paikesburg Iren Cempanv, the owner of the largest nnd best equipped pri vate wireless station iu the world, has given us the full use of his supeib plaut fee our experiment". "It Is Impossible te ovcr-estlmnte the value of this permission und whnt it will nieun te the city. Through Mr. Benle's geueresit we shall thus be able te curry en our experiments nnd possibly te solve some of the- greut wireless problems there. All this is done without n cent of cost (e the city, nnd it will mean thut Philadelphia will be in the very forefront of wireless experi mentation und therefore get the benclts first of whatever results may be bc-cured. "The Blei'tricul Bureau must alwnvs knew just where it Munds.
