10 TO SPAN TRACKS AT FOOT OF SECOND SI. Planning Commission and Manning Discuss Traffic Possibilities in Lower End TO AVOID PENNSY SIDING Additional Hauling Certain When Freight Station Is Completed; Problem of Near Future The feasibility of spanning the mimv tracks of the Pennsylvania sid ing at the foot of Paxton street by extending the approach of the Paxton street bridge across the railroad right of way. was one of the problems which the City Planning Commission and Park Expert Warren H. Man ning discussed to-day. The opening of the Second street sub way and the handling of the unusual ly big increase in traffic southward when the new Pennsy freight station is completed, will be a matter of grave concern for the city in the next few years. One of the natural and most practi cable outlets to the Hill section and the manufacturing centers in the low er end of the city will be by way of the Paxton street bridge it is contend ed. and the elimination of the grade crossing at the pqint in question will be an important factor. Furthermore It is expected that there will be an increase in freight shifting with pos sibilities of additional tracks. The problem presented to the Plan ning Commission is the practicability of spanning the siding tracks in such a way as to direct the travel down Second street in a straight line and then over the Paxton street bridge without making the crossing danger ous. To avoid the siding now, the traffic would have to be directed down Second street and thence on Vine to Paxton. Next to the practicability of this plan the question of cost is one that has to be settled by the Commis sion. And when this is settled then the method whereby the city can go ahead with the improvement and when arc problems to solve.

"So far aa submarines are concern ed, there Is no difference between twenty-one and twenty-four knots," Mr. Booth replied. Mr. Carson then asked whether there was any difference between etghteen knots, the speed at which the Lusitania was proceeding when at tacked and twenty-one knots. Mr. Booth replied that no steamer making more than fourteen knots was known to have been struck by a torpedo from a submarine until the Lusitania was hit. The attorney for the Stewards' Un ion asked whether there were Ger mans working on the Cunard dock in New York.
