LOOP THE LOOP
CARS GO. AROUND BLOCK BE-
TWEEN THIRD AND FOURTH.
Traction Company Plans Are Reach
ing Consummation and Today
Change Is Effected.

Today for the first time cars be-
gan "looplng the loop regularly, and
when the double track work on
Broadway, between Fourth and
Fifth streets is completed the sched-
ules will be definitely arranged and
the traction company will be enabled
TO show what it can do In the way
of maintaining a schedule.
The "loop" is between Broadway
and Kentucky avenue, Third and
Fourth streets, and all cars today ex-
cept those on the Broadway and the
Rowlandtown lines were sent around
It. This eliminates the changing OF
trolleys and precludes the possibili-
ty of a blockade. The Third street
car comes in on Third street at
Broadway, runs to Fourth street and
around to Third via Kentucky ave-
nue.. Sixth street cars and other lines
20 in at Fourth street and Broadway
and make the. loop to Third street
and Broadway. The Rowlandtown
car stops at Fourth street and Broad
way and the Broadway line cars go
to the river.
This is the idea the traction com
pany had when 1t began laying num-
erous switches, all of which are COM
pleted except on Tennessee street be-
tween Tenth and Eleventh streets.
Foreman Kirby is pushing work on
this Job and will have II completed
this week.

SOME VISITING POOR FARM

"Our trump card has not been
played Yet. but from all appearance
1t win not be necessary. to play It, "
said a citizen from the First ward
this morning, speaking of their op-
position to the invasion by the women
from the red light district.
"Not only those few women who
did move into our wards, have moved
out, but 1t seems that some characters
who already were there are preparing
TO go
"The last act I mentioned, In our
opposition to having our wards in
vaded by disreputable persons, will
be TO employ detectives to secure evil
dence of Immoral practices, on the
strength of which we can get after
those landlords who rent houses to
bawdy women. Already one detec-
tive has offered to undertake the
work and secure indisputable evil
dcnce for legal proceedings. The more
We get into this work of house clean
ing. the more We find to do"
OuUlawed by an aroused public
sentiment, some of the oder women
from Kentucky avenue. have visited
the new poor house. with the object,
as they expressed, of securing a home.
Some of these women trudged all
the way, two miles, to the poor house
and back. Whether they are seeking
a country home with the simple life
in view, or whether they are in cara
est in their explanation of securing
quarters in the poor--house, remains
to be seen. t*
