 Arrests Made by the Police
TEN THOUSAND EXTRA POLICEMEN
if Necessary will be Sworn in by Philadephias Mayor, to Keep the Cars Running for Public Convenience Cars All Housed at P. M.-dolday Makers Incon- venienced-Strkers Confident.

Philadelphia, May 31.-Although the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company brought men to this city yesterday and during the night to take the places of it's motormen and conductors who went on strike Saturday for higher wages and better working conditions, the street car service is worse today than at any time since the trouble be- gan. Fewer than one-half of the reg ular number of cars operated by the company, which controls every line in the city, are running today. a day when the facilities of the big corpora tion are always taxed by the holiday crowds
 At 9.sO a. m. the company admitted that only 25 per cent of its number of cars are in operation.
 Both Sides Confident.
 John B. Parsons. president of the company, and Charles O. Kruger. gem eral manager. are still Optimists, and say the company will win the struggle and fill the deserted places with new men.
 On the other hand. there is much joy in the ranks of the strikers over the demoralized situation they have brought about C. O. Pratt. chairman of the executive committee of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees. who is in charge of the strike, said today that if the men now out remain stead fast to their cause, they will win. He issued a statement advising the men to keep away from saloons. not to go near policemen. and not to molest the men who are running cars.
 The Market street subway and ele- vated roads have not yet been affected by the strike the men on these lines receiving higher pay than the surface workers.

 parture for Europe.

New York. May 31.-On the eVa of his departure for Europe to visit Paris and Vienna and possibly some Austri- an health resorts commended Co him by his physician. E. 1T. Hartman. worn in body, but alert Of mind and vigorous of spirit today analysed the condi- tions which had made possible tho panic of 1907 and gave his reason for believing that whatever dangers had existed for a return of these conditions was now passed.
 "The business of the country is now on very substantial basis" said Mr. Hartman. All that is needed now is 6 realization on the part of the farm CTS of the preparations for prosperity which have been so liberally made. There are now more acres in cultiva- ton than ever before in the history of the country and if we have favorable weather and correspondingly largo crops I look for happy times. There will be a big burst of speculation and a rise in the price of everything. but these will quickly grade down from the top to whatever level the crops will make logical. I shall look to see fhe improvement in conditions go on. The time Is ripe however. for a warning as to the proper employment Of idle mon ey. We should be careful that this money be not devoted to the supposed development of fake projects. but on the contrary used in tho upbullding ot real undertakings resting upon solid foundations"

BIG AIRsHIP HIT A TREE.
Count Zeppelin Stopped in His Record
 Breaking Flight of $50 Miles.

Goeppingen, May 31.-The Zeppelin airship, on it's way back to Friedrich shafen from Bitterfeld, came down in an open field near here today. The landing was only for a manoeuvre, but the envelope of the pointed bow of the vessel came into contact with the branch of a tree and was torn. After an examination of the damage, it was decided to send to Friedrlchshafen for workmen to repair the dAmage before proceeding. The rent is a slight one Cnly and can be mended by tonight.
 Count Zeppelin explained here this morning that he did not continue on to Berlin from Bitterfeld last night, because the airship had lost some gas and he thought it wiser to start on the return trip to Friedrichshafen, par ticularly as the homeward journey would require from fifteen to twenty hours.
 The aeronaut is thoroughly satisfied with this journey, which is the longest excursion yet undertaken. The air ship covered some $50 miles, including it's manoeuvring, within thirty-seven hours.
 The tearing of the envelope of the forward compartment carries no par ticular lesson, except that greater care must be taken in steering

The speed of the car was high, and the shock deflected it's course so that 1t ran right into the crowd, which at that point was large The six men were right together, sit ting by the side of the road. The sol diers who had been patrolIing the course: is said, had several times told the spectators to get back, and most of them had done so. taking ref uge behind the stone wall.
 When the car stopped after it's plunge, one man, thought to be Spit tier, was underneath it. The others were thrown to either side. There was great excitement, and the committee was obliged to stop the event. as the people rushed upon the road anxious ot help the injured and to learn who the men were.
 Automobiles Called Out.
 Automobiles were pressed into ser vice and the injured men were rushed into the city, the city fire alarm being used to get out the ambulance to meet the automobiles which were car rying the injured men.

No Police Interference Sunday-con-

New York. May 31.-Sunday amuse- ments at Coney Island met with prac- tically no police interference yester- day. Before the noon hour all visitors felt that there would be another wide open Sunday, and that if there were to be any arrests they would come today and would go the way of those brought before Justice Greenbaum last Mon- day.
 Borough Inspector Russell and Dis trict Inspector Ryan were busy inspect ing Surf avenue, and the Bowery throughout the day,- but apparently they could not see that any of the resorts were violating the laws as re- gently interpreted. and the ppbprietors are looking forward to reapiItg har- vest from the holiday. crowds of to- day.
 Managers of theaters which give Sunday concerts had no trouble with the police yesterday over the new in- terpretation of the Sunday observance law. The principal reason for this was that the managers did not give the police an opportunity to make trouble. All of them made their own interpreta- tion of Justice Greenbaum's recent de- cision, and reconstructed their acts so that even a rigid enforcer of law would have had to look long and hard to find infractions of the code.
