EIFFEL" CAR STEP
CAUSES ACCIDENT
Charles DuPont Breck Severely In
jured by Being Thrown from a
Misshapen Trolley Car.
Charles Dupont Breck, president of
the Dime bank, was painfully, possibly
seriously, Injured early last night bv
being thrown from a trolley car.
Ho was rldlnir on a Green Ridge
People's car on Green Ridge street,
and as tho car approached Sanderson
avenue, where he wanted to alight, he
took a posjtlon on the step and sig
nalled tho conductor to have the cur
stopped. Tho conductor pulled the bell
rope, but the motorman did not heed
It, and as Mr. Breck did jiot wish to
bo carried beyond his corner, he at
tempted to get off whllo tho enr was
In motion.
It was one of tho old made-over
"spliced" cars, -with the Inconvenient
ly, not to say dangerously, high step,
and miscalculating tho distance in tho
dark, Mr. Breck lost his footing when
he landed and plunging forward, struck
forcibly on his head u gainst tho brick
pavement.
He was rendered unconscious nnd
suffered severe contusions of the scalp,
besides the violent shock to his sys
tem. Ho was conveyed to tho home of
his son, Charles Beckwlth, on Sander
son avenue, whither he was bent on a
visit, and after having his wounds
dressed, was removed to his home on
Madison avenue.

IT IS NOT A
SPITE ACTION
SO DECLARES GENERAL MANA
GER OP TROLLEY COMPANY.
Abolition of All Free Transportation
Necessitated by Extra Expenses.
Can't Raiso Prices Like the Coal
Operators, So the Only Recourso Is
to Incroaso Cash Business What
Some of the Company's Patrons
Think of tho Contemplated Change
Makes Very Interesting Reading.
Gcneial Manager Frank Slltlumn, of
tho Scrnnton Hallway company, when
seen yesterday by a Tribune man nnd
asked to what extent the order with
reference to transfers would apply,
said it Is not true ns was aulto sten
ernlly reported yesterday, that the trol
ley company intends to make nil its
lines terminate at Lackawanna ave
nuo and thereby increase its opportu
nities of securing ffbuble fares.
The schedules will remain practically
ns they are at present, Mr. Sllllman
states. If possible, the number of
through lines will bo Increased, but
this thing, ho thinks, is hardly possi
ble, as tho company has already ar
ranged ns many through runs as con
ditions would permit.
One faro will, as at present carry a
passenger from tho city line on South
Main avenue to the end of Drinker
street, or from Keyser Valley on the
Washburn or Luzerne street lines to
Petersburg, or vice versa. To go from
Providence or Green Ridge to Dun
more, West Scranton or tho South Side
or In the opposite direction, an extra
fare will have to be pnld. A passenger
can ride the whole length of any run
for ono fare. To change trom one run
to any other run, however, will call
for an extra fare.
NOT RETALIATION.
Continuing, Mr. Sllllman sold: "This
action of the company outlined in to
day's notice to tho public Is not an
act of retaliation for the sympathy tho
public extended the striking car men or
anything of that kind. It is simply a
plain, business proivosltlon, made nec
essary by the company's financial con
ditions nnd prospects.
"I might say, however, that we do
expect the public will be prnctlcal
enough In Its sympathy for tho em
ployes' movement for higher wages, to
contribute something to make it possi
ble for tho company to meet the extra
expense entailed by these Increased
wages.
"When tho miners won their strike
tho operators met the Increased expen
diture which that victory entailed by
raising the price of coal. You heard
no great public clamor against that.
Yet tho coal operators not only raised
prices sufficiently to meet the Increased
wages, but while they were nt It they
put on enough to Insure a very liberal
Increase In their margin of profits. Our
company Is attempting to only partly
meet tho Increased expenditure, yet
It Is subjected to no end of harshest
criticism.
"We cannot Increase the price of our
commodity If you can call our service
such except In tho way wo contem
plate. It Is not an extra charge. It Is
simply the abolition of all free trans
portation, nveryone who rides here
after will p.iv In cash for each and
every ride. It means. In a word, that
by decreasing the free rides, we in
crease the receipts per passenger.
"Every manufacturer of supplies
furnishing us mutcrlal now pays more
wages than formerly, and as a conse
quence our company pays more for
the material. This Is the all-prevailing
custom of tho business world. We
are only doing what business condi
tions demand. We cannot lnereaso the
rate of faro beyond the rate of a
nickel, made practically Imperative by
custom. Our only other course Is to
economize. The only way to economize
Is to exuet cash from the passengers
who now ride on paper.
NOT A LEAP IN THE DARK.
"As to our right to do what we con
template all I can say Is that we have
not made a leap In the dark. If, how
ever, wo are wrong in our legal posi
tion we will, of course, have to rectify
our eiror.
"I know the company will bo sub
jected to unsparing criticism, but what
can't be cured must be endured. Wo
nre In a position where we have to
do this thing. It Is extremely distaste
ful, to me personally, but I have yet
to begin to dodge any duty, no mat
ter how unpleasant it may be."
Throughout the city and surrounding
towns yesterday nothing but the harsh
est kind of criticism of the ralhvav
company's action was heard. Here
are some of the expressions recorded
by Tribune reporters:
E. E. Robathan, of the county com
mlssloneis' olllce, who was in common
council when the Valley Passenger
railway franchise was granted, says
that one of the strongest arguments
used by the promoters of the franchise
was that It guaranteed transfers,
which would Insure a single faro for
transportation on any of Its lines with
in the city. On the strength of this,
Mr. Robathan Is of tho opinion that tha
Valley company's successor must give
transfers from between lines built un
der the Valley franchise, and he Is
also of the opinion that Inasmuch as
tho Valley company has not built nil
tho lines It agreed to build when It
secured the frnnehlso that the two
year forfeiture clause can be enforced
Simple Things
Mnny peoplo delay making a
start at saving, because It seems
so simple too simple for prac
tical purposes. They think Its all
light for "small-Idea" folks who,
perhais, would never get a start
In llfo without somo such provis
ion along little lines of effort.
And they liealtato about classing
themselves among "little" savers.
Saving plain saving may seem
simple; but It Is well to remember
that "little savers often become
great lenders." And, whether a
saver's deposits bo frequently
made or seldom, be little in
amount or large; it all counts for
success somo day, sure.
Simple. Perhaps so, but tho
simple things of llfo have ever
mystified1 the mighty; and of alt
simple acts, none have tho satis
faction about them which steady
SAVING affords. Start and see.

TRADERS NATIONAL BANK

In other words.tho company was called
upon to avail Itself of alt Hb franchlso
rights or none.
MAYOR MOIR'S VIEWS.
Mayor James Molr: "I believe that
tho city can compel tho Scranton Rail
way company to Issue transfers and I
believe steps In that direction shduld
bo taken at once. That is why I called
the special meeting ot select council.
We have put up with enough from this
company without having to stand this
latest maneuver. There's a limit to
nil pallcnco nnd that limit has now
been reached. The time Is ripe nnd op
portune for the pnssnge of n license
tax ordinance taxing tho gross receipts
of this company. I would favor such a
measure nnd would glvo It my hearty
support and approval."
Common Councilman Luther Keller:
"I think that the citizens of this city
are simply reaplntj the folly of their
past action In sending to-counclls men
who gave away the rights to our
streets for nothing. I think that the
action of the Scranton Railway com
pany In refusing to Issue transfers was
prompted by n menn, contemptible nnd
vindictive spirit and that the councils
should do everything In their power to
compel them to issue them. Now Is
the time to put through that ordinance
taxing the gross receipts of tho com
pany. It should pay Its fair share of
taxes but It does not. It should bo
made to and It can. Let us pass this
ordinance not In a spirit of retaliation
but because its the right thing to do."
Select Councilman C. E. Chittenden:
"I think Its about time the public nt
large Indulged In a general kick nt this
company. The peoplo of this city havo
bren patient) too long. They have put
up with the worst street railway ser
vice In the country for years hoping
that there would be some Improvement
In the futuro and now they nre In
formed that they will receive no trans
fers. Lot people keep oft the old worn
out street cars and walk. That'll bring
this high handed alien corporation to
terms quicker than anything else."
SMALL AND CHEAP.
Ex-Sheriff John J. Pahf, who was
ono of the chief promoters ot the Val
ley company, unhesitatingly coincided
In the opinions expressed by Mr. Roba
than. "Tho Valley company," said
Mr. Fnhey, "in securing Its franchise
agreed that it should give transfers be
tween all its lines. This attempt of the
Scranton Railway company to Ignore
the responsibility it assumed when It
took the Valley company's franchise,
Is ns bold as its evident motlvo Is
small and cheap."
John B. Colllngs, of the Lackawanna
bar, when asked for an expression on
the contemplated abolition of transfers
said: "My opinion Is, that if the
Traction company does away with the
present transfer system, and increases
its charges for transportation, that an
ordinance should bo passed by councils
taxing its not proceeds fully five per
cent., also making the company give
proper facility for travel, by increas
lng the number of cars and keeping
them and its employes In a sanitary
and cleanly condition."
A. L. Francois, one of the best
known business men of tho city nnd a
member of tho board of control from
the Second ward, said that It was bad
buslncsH policy for the company to
cut off the transfers. He was sure it
will result In a great decrease In the
number of pnssengers, besides making
the company more unpopular than it Is.
Attorney E. C. Newcomb said: "I
can't Imagine what Induced the officers
of the company to Issue such an order,
couched in such language, unless they
are anxious to wreck the road and
drive It into bankruptcy."
NEEDS A GUARDIAN.
Select Councilman D. W. Vnughan:
"The man who wrote that announce
ment about the abolition of tho trans
fer system needs a guardian. The com
pany should engage a proBs censor at
once. The public have stood for a good
many things from this company but
they're not going to stand for this.
We'll sottlo their hash in council be
fore many moons, you mark my
words."
C. E. Daniels, President of West SUla
Board of Trad": "I think It Is n plca
yunish policy. Neither the city nor tho
people should try any moral suasion on
the company. If there bo any virtue in
the ordinance conditions imposed and
nccepted by the company, let that bo
enforced. Let tho company bo brought
to Its senses Immediately and effective
ly by the cold force of hard law, to
rrotcct the rights of the public."
Druggist George W. Jenkins: "It Is
a question whether tho company will
date to enforce their proposition.
Ellas E. Evans, school controller
from the Fifteenth waid: "I don't
think tho proposed abolition of tho
transfer system will lart very long."
Joseph Oliver, select councilman from
the Fifteenth ward: "It is a question
In my mind whether tho company can
abolish the transfer system. I don't
think thev can do It."
Jenkln T. Reese, D., L. ft W. sur
veyor: "The proposition Is unjust, un
kind for a corporation which has nover
paid anything to tho city for fran
chises, whereas railronds pay front
$20,000 to $50,000 per mile in tho valley
for right of way."
Robert J. Williams, member of tha
firm of J. D. Williams & Bro.: "It Is a
wrong move. If the pass system was
limited to tho minimum amount nivi
the company be more liberal In giving
transfers, they would improve their
patronage and the well-being of tho
road."
WEST SCRANTON OPINIONS.
T. Fellows Muson, merchant: "If
tho Traction company made monoy
with transfers In the past it ought to
In tho future, and also be able to pay
tho Increase granted Us employes."
J. S. Swisher, district passenger
agent C. R. R. of N. J.: "The abolition
of tho transfer sy?tem is altogether
wrong and has a tendency to Induce
walking among tho present patrons. It
will also be tho means of establishing
Independent lines of tratlc between tho
central city and suburban points. I
understand there Is a syndicate ar
ranging for nn automobile lino to We3t
Scranton."
B. G. Mtrgnn, druggist nnd steam
ship ngent: "It Is a very Indiscreet
movo on the- part of tho company. A
C-cent fare Is enough to pny profits on
their real estate Investments. The
publlo does not propose to pay for
watered stock."
D. II. Jones: "This move of tho
Scranton Railway company won't
work. It's going too far."
E. W. Bishop, Dunmore, deputy fac
tory Inspector "Referring to the abol
ishment of the transfor system, I con
sider It heaping Insult upon Injury.
What the management should do Is to
Improve tho present outrageous sys
tem of requiring Its patrons to stand
on somo bleak corner, exposed to the
storm's blast. Tho transfer should be
valid from any point most convenient
to tho holder, and tho company should
bo obliged to provide cars enough from
0 to 8 a. m. and from C to 7 p. m., so
that employes from our shops, stores
nnd factories can all havo Beats. In
somo cities they will not pay unless
they havo scats, and It Is an outrnga
to compel them to stand. I think the
peoplo of Scranton and vicinity nre tho
most patient and submissive on earth."
WHAT DUNMOREANS THINK.
W. S. Jones, councilman First ward,
Dunmore "I believe to stop the Issu
ing of transfers would bo nn Imposi
tion that tho publlo will not stand,
and borough legislation will be forth
coming tn retaliation In case the trans
fer Is abolished."
Victor Burschcll, burgess of Dun
more "I havo not talked the matter
over with any of the councllmcn as
yet, but steps will certainly bo taken
to force the company to respect tho
rights of tho public, In so far ns bor
ough legislation can do It."
Charles P. Savage.nunmore "I think
it would be a great benefit to the
stockholders of the Scranton Railway
company and tho city of Scranton If
the transfer system succeeded In trans
ferrins; Mr. Sllllman to Philadelphia."
Councilman Brogan, Third ward,
Dunmore "I consider the proposed
abolishment of the transfer by tho
Scranton Railway company to bo a
gross injustice. I will certainly do nil
In my power to further legislation by
tho council that will offectually block
tills scheme. The company hns a largo
number of unfulfilled, pledges In tho
borough at present and the council
will lose no time In forcing the com
pany to live up to them if this thins
la carried out"
C. a. Herrlnsj, Dunmore "Mr. Sllll
man may bo an able ofTlclal In some
respects, but the methods he Intends
using to replenish the treasury in re
gards to abolishing the transfer sys
tem necms more like boy's play than
business from a man who should have
the Interests of tho public at heart as
well ns the company."
C. P. Jones, Green Ridge "The cir
cular Issued by tho Traction company,
abolishing transfers, has been the ono
theme of conversation In the Green
Ridge section tho past twenty-four
hours, and 'a cry of Indltrnntlon' but
feebly expresses the general opinion of
all nt this wholly uncalled for Imposi
tion upon the public. Some say, pedes
trian clubs, wiiile others suggest a lino
of automobile busses, but the more
conservative say, wait patiently a few
days nnd you will hear something
drop. However, It goes without say
ing, more Green RIdgers will walk to
the central city than ride, for some
time to come."

Isn't It Queer
That women will economise on the ware put on their
table, but will spend any amount for decorating the parlorf
One of the excuses is that servants break bo many dishes.
That is a wrong idea, they are not half ns careful in handling
heavy goods as they are the fine ones, and if statistics could
be had it would be found that a fine dinner set will last
enough longer than a cheap one to pay for the difference In
firlce many times over. Our new Open Stock pattern of HavI
and & Co. is ns near perfect as possible, 114 pieces for $83,
or select such, pieces as you desire.
