MAY USE PIKE
Interstate Railways 20. Said
to Have Made Concession
to West Chester Co.

Foll1wing the meeting of the direc-
tors of the West Chester and Whining
ton Railway Electric Railway Com
pany here yesterday afternoon, it was
announced to-day that the new com
pany would probably be granted the
use of the Concord turnpike as a right
of way for its line between West Ches-
ter and Wilmington. Representatives
of the Interstate Railways Company
which own the highway, attended the
meeting and are said to have made the
offer to the new COMPANY An agree
n1ent between the companies to this
effect is being drawn up, and will be
considered at the next meeting of the
directors of the West Chester Com
pany
Announcement that the companies
had about entered into an agreement
to connect their lines at Concord ave-
nue. and the Boulevard foreshadowed
the announcement of to-day that Tie
old company would grant the new COM
pany a road bed on the turnpike to the
Pennsylvania State line. At present the
West Chester Company owns a private
right Of way from the city to the state
line. 500 feet north Of the turnpike, over
which route the road wac to have been
built Now that a right Of way has
been assured on the turnpike the priv
ate route will. of course. be abandoned
The new route is. of course, more L
vantageous. It passes in front Of the
Porter reservoir and Lombardy ceme-
terry, instead of in the rear of the sites
as the old routes did, and will prove
more convenient to Wilmingtonians
who may use the trolley this summer
in going to and from the Brandywine
Summit campmeeting grounds.
The West Chester Company directors
are delighted over the favorable pros
poets Of early operation Of the line over
the new route.

WASHINGTON. March 6.-The Dis
trict Of Columbia committee Of the

Of intoxicants in the District Of Co

the prohibition forces, has
secured an agreement that the COM

the measure.
O'Brien has maps and photographs
of the tenderloin section of Washing

location of Nover 200 places that are
now selling liquor illegally under the
present license law.
He said to-day:
"The break down of the license sys-
tenn in the nations capital ought to
convince everyone that regulation of
the liquor traffic is impossible. There
us more 1awlessness now than there
would be under prohibition. The

ANTHONY HIGGINS is OUT
FOR TAFT FOR PRESIDENT
Declares in Favor of the
Administration Policies,
and Says Revenue Com

Discussing the State Revenue Com
mission last evening former Senator
Anthony Higgins remarked:
1T is fake. The idea of having
George Sparks. Al Conner and Dave
Rose on a commission to suggest
revenue laws for the State. What
they should do would be to get some
expert on taxation like Professor Hoi-
lander of Johns Hopkins University to
come here and tell what the community
needs in the way of taxation and what
should be subjected to taxation"
Speaking Of the political situation in
Delaware. Mr. Higgins said:
"The action of the Republican State
Committee on Friday last in fixing so
early a date as the 4th day of April
next, for the election of delegates 20

held on the following Tuesday, the 9TH

delegates from Delaware to the Ma
tional Republican Convention, compels
every Republican interested in the Sc
lection Of the candidate of their party
for the Presidency. to come to some
conclusion as to what the Republicans
of Delaware ought to DO.
Personally, / am in favor Of the
nomination of Secretary Taft as candi-
date for President. On the one hand,
because I consider him the man among
all named for the place. most fit and
competent to meet and discharge the
tremendous duties and responsibilities
Of the Office. and further. on the other

Reference to the fire drills in the
schools was made by DR.. j. r.. Ma
hafty, Howell 1 England and S. S.
Hon. lt was the opinion Of DR. Ma
hafiy that these drills were regarded
largely as frolics by the school chill
dren, and he suggested that the drill
be made a part of the school currlcu-
lum, that the children might come to
regard it as a part OF their daily school
duty. In this connection, Mr. Reed
explained that as many Of the city
schools were only two stories high, the
Board OF Education might not have
thought 1t necessary 70 equip the build
ings with fire escapes.
Despite this belief he thought all
the buildings should be so equipped
that safe egress IN time OF FIRE would
be certain.
The subject was finally referred to
the committees on education and real
estate and building.
Or. Shortidgo Says Schools Ars Safe.
DIT Shortlidge, president Of the Board
OF Education, took exception this morn
ing TO Captain Rice's comments on the
subject Or. Shortlidge said that OF
all the city schools only four arc three
story structures and two OF these, Nos.
and "a, are equipped with first class
fire escapes. The other three-story
structures. No. % and the High School.
are provided with three stalrways. bv
means Of which the school pupils could
leave the buildings in safety IN time OF
fire. The doctor said further that the
Board OF Education is not compelled
by law to equip tho schools with fire
escapes, that the Board never opposed
the erection OF FIRE escape on a school
In the interest OF economy and that
the Board had never erected a cheap
school building. He said the last school
built, No. %. cost the city $4,000
II was the opinion OF DR.. ShortlidQe
that no such tragedy as that at North
collinwood could happen here
Previous to the meeting Of the Board
Of Trade q member Of the Board Of
Education expressed himself on tho
subject as follows:
''Such a thing as occurred in Cleve-
land on Wednesday do not believe

schools Of this CITY. There IS not one
chance in a thousand that Il could oc-
cur. All our schools have fire escapes.

his auditors, many of whom are the
most prominent business men of New

who do not agree with him Mr.. Crozier
said:
