-PUBLIC KICKS AS TRAMWAY FARES GO UP IN LONDON More Than a Hundred Per Cent. Increase in Sub urban Districts London, July 11.—The question of the increase in the tramway fares and also those of the motor omnibuses has caused widespread discontent here lately. In some in stances the fares in London and the suburban district*! have been raised k more than one hundred per cent. ™ over those charged in pre-war days. The result has been that public opinion has been worked up to such an extent that nearly every day / London members of Parliament are | asking questions on the subject in Has Thanksgiving Every Day "Two years ago. after suffering many years with stomach trouble, I took a course of llayr'a Wonderful Remedy and haven't been sick a day since.

Betel.Pennsylvania I Poof Garden There's a new and modish attraction in New York this summer the Roof Garden Restaurant and Conservatory of Hotel Pennsylvania.

The first step toward the in crease was the abolition of the half I penny fare and latterly the reduc tion of the distances which could be traversed for the penny fare. The companies declare that the increase is necessary to meet the extra expenses which have occurred by the workmen's demands for shorter hours and more pay. The ! public alleges that the additional • cost of running is made up by the [ extra fares taken since hostilities \ ended. • An interesting sidelight on this . is provided by the accounts of the J Glasgow Corporation Tramways in J the next largest city to Ixtndon. The year that has Just closed has proved ] a record for the city. Prior to the I war the fares were the cheapest in i the country and have since been j maintained as before. The revenue | for fares for the year 1918-19 to- I tale.d 1,900,000 pounds, an increase lof 12 8,000 pounds over the year 1917-18. The number of passengers ! carried increased bv over 33,000.- 000. It is stated in the report that sixty per cent, of the increase came i from the halfpenny fares. Sees Huge Advance in Costs of Railroads Xew York, July 11.—It is esti . mated that the cost of operating the i railroads during this year, providing expenses for the entire twelve months I are on a par with those of the first four, will exceed the 1917 ex penses by $1,600,000,000. This 'is ! a deduction made by the Railway 1 Age, which asserts that operating expenses are runr.*ing $740,000,000 a year more than the estimate made by William G. McAdoo when he made the big advances in freight and pas senger rates something over a year ' ago. DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOL SYSTEM IS EXPLAINED University Plan Favored by School Directors at Hill Mass Meeting Proposals for high school devel opment on the university plan were discussed by members of the city school board who attended the pub lic meeting last night at the Mount Pleasant enginehouse. Thirteenth and Howard streets, which was held to give citizens of Allison Hill and other districts of the city an oppor tunity to consider the situation. President Robert A. Enders, and Directors A. Carson Stamm. Harry i A. Boyer and Dr. E. L. Keen were j present at the meeting. The Rev. ! Dr. William N. Yates, former school director, presided and introduced i the members of the board who at i tended. Dr. P. E. Downes, superin | tendent, and D. D. Hammelbaugh, j secretary, were present also. Dr. : Downes told of the school program I for Hurrisburg, and Secretary Ham melbaugh explained the financial sit uation of the district. Other Sites Suggested After outlining the university plan ' for a high school which he said would include erection of buildings for instruction in liberal arts, man ual training, a gymnasium, athletic field and stadium. President Enders spoke of other possible sites, whien might be avnilablc and compared them with the one which has been purchased—3s acres of the Hoff man's Woods and Italian Park tract. He declared that the Italian Park purchase was the best for the district from a financial and economic viewpoint for developing the university plan, which he fa vored and to provide space for fu ture growth of the city. Among the sites which were men tioned were the following: Silk mill site. Front and North streets: North and Cowden streets: Copelin plot at Thirteenth and Calder streets, and the present location of the Cen tral High School, all of which Mr. Enders said could not be used be cause of financial reasons, either be cause of prohibitive price or lack of sufficient ground for the amount of money spent and to provide for the needs of the district. Two Schools Expensive President Enders also said he was not in favor of having a high school uptown and one on the Hill because it would mean additional expense for maintenance, which could be avoided with the adoption of the university plan. Director Boyer called attention to | the resolution passed by the school | board which said that the site %'as > purchased for "school purposes" and ' if not desired for a high school could ' be used for the needs of the Fur- I teenth ward. He said that he con- I I sidered it a good purchase. Mr. Stamm discussed the other possible sites in much the same manner as President Enders, except that he disagreed on the statement made by the president that the silk mill location probably could not be purchased, Mr. Stamm stating he i believed it might be bought but the i price would be too high. Xo Hill Site Director Keen told of his search on Allison Hill for a possible site and said that he could not find any that would be satisfactory. There was little comment made by the residents of the Hill who were pres ent, numbering more than 60. Dr. Yates said he was opposed to the Italian Park site because of the distance and the cost to families on Allison Hill who would be compelled to send their children to the school | by trolley. He said that walking to the school would be out of the ques tion during much of the school year, | and then argued in favor of pur- j chasing a site facing Capitol Park. I No vote was taken during the j meeting although a suggestion was : made that this should be done. 17,000 800 and Hiss President at Rally ! j Xew York, July ll.—Seventeen! thousand person's gathered last night j in Madison Square Garden to hear Eamonn de Valera, "President of I the Sinn Fein Republic of Ireland,"! and other. adherents of his propa-1 ganda assail British rule, hiss ami | booed President Wilson for fully l three minutes. Throughout the meeting every; mention of the President, every re ference to Great Britain, a remark about Field Marshal Sir Douglas; Haig or an allusion to Wilson, Clemenceau or Lloyd George was the signal for the crowd to voice its disparagement.

July 11.—By . merely hanging the picture of a dog the Scott'sh National Galleries may ac quire a very substantial portion of a fortune estimated at $350,000.

RETURN TO OPEN POLITICAL FIELD | [Continued from First Page.] chatter. Six years ago when the 1 new form of government went into J power the reorganization put out of | office men who had devoted years | of work in the interest of the city, 1 ! bringing about big improvements | and saving much money, many of ; them serving the municipality with out charge. None of the officials was respon sible to any party, although they re tained their party affiliation to the extent that they sought the favor of the party organization, either Re publican or Democratic. The water department funds in Harrisburg have been appro priated during the last few years for general revenue to meet the rapidly increasing expense of city government. Instead of ailawing the cash reserve earnings of the water department in one year to go into the water reserve fund as had beeh done in past years, this money was turned into the treasury and used as general revenue. To day the water department reserve fund is without a large cash balance. It does have thousands of dollars invested in bonds, but the cash re sources available amount to less than SI,OOO. Party Alignments Voters have not forgotten the councilmanic tights of the first two years of non-partisan government In Harrisburg. Almost invariably on an important issue the vote was 3 to 2, with the Republicans on one side and the Democrats on the other. In casting ballots at the polls the voters of the city in practically every instance knew the party affiliation of the candidates whose chances of election were the best. Six years ago the first non-parti san Council was composed of three Republicans and two Democrats, the next one of four Republicans and and one Democrat, and the present one of five Republicans. Two years ago in the contest for Mayor, two Republicans and a Democrat on the non-partisan ticket were before the public at the primaries. The two Republicans were nominated, a con dition which had never developed before in city politics. In every instance individuals were elected to office to take charge of city affairs who were responsible to no one but themselves, who had no group of interest and capable men to advise them and help them In their work and who resorted only to the advice of ttiese men in case of a serious emergency such as the one which developed less than two yeurs ago when a water famine almost de veloped. RAILROADS ARE READY FOR BIG SOLDIER RUSH Special Trains and Cars Will Carry Militiamen to Mt. Gretna Encampment Officials of the Pennsy and Read ing report conditibns in good shape for handling the soldier trains to and from Mt. Gretna. The annual en campment starts to-morrow. Yes terday and to-day found a big rush of advance guards from various points in Centra! Pennsylvania. The soldier trains will run to-morrow. The Pennsylvania Railroad has opened a station and yard head quarters at Mt. Gretna. A force of yardmaster, two stationmasters. yard men and one or more crews will go to Mt. Gretna to-day to assist the forces of the Lebanon division in handling the trains. All week the Lebanon crews have been busy tak ing care of the supply trains. Officials In Charge At Lebanon T. Irvin Cox. of the I Pennsylvania, and'J. Will McSdam, of the Reading-, will look after the special trains. It is understood that as few special trains as possible will be run, the extra cars to be placed on the regular trains. Every effort Is to be made to prevent interference witli the regular passenger and freight traffic. The new offices to be used by the Pennsy forces have been opened. The large sidings and extra tracks were, completed sometime ago on the Leb anon division and local officials are of the opinion that this extra rush of traffic will be handled promptly. A number of passenger cars assigned to this district by the Federal ad ministration for handling soldiers have been placed in the local yards. Outing For Reading Vets to Be Cut Out This Summer Veteran employes of the Reading are discussing a report that the an nual outing is to be cut out this year. The Pottsville Republican prints the following: "The annual outing held by the Veteran Association of the Philadel phia and Reading Company, each Fall Is to be eliminated this year, owing to the Government ruling to cut down every unnecessary excur sion and outing, where it takes train service. The outing which is usual ly attended by upwards of 1,200 vet erans of the company, who are or were in service of the company 25 years or more is looked forward to by many of these veterans as their only outing and social gathering each | year, and it la with a keen sense of disappointment that they will learn of the calling off of this annual af fair. "There are over 150 from this sec tion of the county in the association which has 1.800 members or more and it will be a hard blow to them to learn that there is to be no outing this year. It is said that there are some of the members who intend try ing some measures with the Govern ment control to rule that their out ing is a necessity for it is their one big pleasure each year. The Vet erans' Association officers has an nounced by bulletin to-day that the annual outing is called off." Railroad Notes Box cars are once more a scarce article and freight agents have is sued orders to have all cars unloaded promptly and returned. Another order has been issued to passenger trainmen to prevent sol- j diers from riding on platforms or l steps, and stop them from leaning i too far out of the window. Rufus P. Huff, chief yardmaster of the Reading with headquarters at Reading, is on his vacation. Reading officials have asked phy sicians at all hospitals along the line I to render bills for services to em ployes who are injured while in ser vice, not later than two weeks after the accident. General Superintendent W. H. Kef fer and superintendent of transpor- | tation O. W. Stager, of the reading j have returned from Pittsburgh. One of the new Mallet engines on the Reading recently hauled 110 loaded coal cars a total of 8,000 tons. This was a new record, and is three times the tonnage hauled 15 years ago. The next pay day in the Reading will be July 15. The pay cars will 1 start at Reading on the day previ- I ous. Increased business about the Iron ! and steel industries has started a demand for gondola cars. Shippers are requested to see that all shipments have the full street ad dress of the consignee. Dr. L. H. Howard, examining phy sician of tho Philadelphia Division, Pennsylvania Railroad, was in Leb anon yesterday examining applicants for positions. The Interstate Commerce Commit tee has extended the effective date of the new form of bill of lading from Friday, August 8. 1919, to Mon day. Sptember 8, 1919. This means that on and after the latter date the new forms of bills of lading must be used by shippers. John Wahl, recently returned from active service with Company D, One Hundred Ninth Machine Gun Battalion, and a former employe of the Pennsylvania Railroad, has ac cepted a position as welglimsstrr for the Lebandn branch at the railroad scales at Cornwall.
