Philadelphia, Pa, May 26.-''The
situation is growing brighter every
minute" said Mayor Weaver late this
afternoon when asked what progress
he was making in his effort to de-
feat the extension of the lease of the
city gas works.
He would not give figures nor go
into other details, but contended him
self with saying he had received as
surances from many councilman who
had voted for the lease last week that
they would support him in his Veto
Leaders of the Republican organiza-
ton which is advocating the lease
continue to remain silent. There are,
however, signs that some of the
councilmen are breaking away under
the tremendous pressure of their
constituents and will probably go
along with the mayor.
The record up to this evening shows
that the mayor has ten select coun-
cilmen and twenty members of the
common council with him. In the
select council there are forty-two
members. To pass the ordinance over
the mayors veto the organization
needs twenty-six votes and the mayor
seventeen to sustain him. The mem
bership of the common council is
eighty-four. Here the organization
needs fifty-one and the mayor thirty
four.

HE WON IN A CANTER

possess. cherish and control the pro
duct of compressed corpuscles. they
decided 10 engage in race.
In spite of the heat of the evening
and the generally dusty condition of
the road, they went down the pike
like a two-horse ambulance going
after the remnants of an old-time
wake The contestants were Harry
Elliott, the liveryman, and James 4.
King, who is known as the Mer-
chant in Germantown. where he lives
when at home. The start was made
from Wagner's store. just across
West street from where white stone
proclaims the boundary of the city.
They got off together after couple
of false starts and were soon moving
down the road toward Gates black
smith shop, where the stake boat was
anchored. At the turn Elliott stopped
to take a notch in his belt Ii was a
fatal error, for King forged Gin the
shop ahead and moved with the speed
of a winter cyclone back toward the
starting point mile distant. The
finish was exciting but not close, as
King came under the wire one hun
dred yards in advance of his compel
itor. He is undecided as TO the dis
position of the beef.
