ASKS
 FOR C0NsTABulARY
Police Acknowledge Their Inability to
 Control the Strikers.

Philadelphia. Feh 2S.-The police officials virtually acknowledged today their inability to cope with the strike situation. when A request WAS made for 200 members of the state constabu- lary to be brought to this city. The request was made notwithstanding serious rioting was less frequent today than any other day since the strike of the car men began last Saturday. The state police are expected to reach here tomorrow and will doubtless be sent to the KensingtOn district, where the state fensibles had such an ann pleasant experience yesterday.
 For the first time the company sue ceeded in running cars until o'clock on the Frankford line. which pene- trates the unruly territory. Four pol licemen guarded each car. Detectives patrolled the streets all day in auto mobiles. Whenever group formed detectives rushed them and even fol- lowed the ringleaders into the houses until captured In spite of their vigil- ance. many car windows were broken and the company was finally obliged to use sheet iron windows in place of glass.
 The city high schools are located near the industrial plants that have been bOmbarding the cars with bolts. Not to endanger the lives of children the board of education decided today not to open two schools for girls this week.
 The law was pressed hard today on some of the men and boys arrested for rioting Elwood Carr, alleged to have been the ringleader in the riot at Kensington. was sentenced to six years: John Kline to two years;- Ellis Atkins to similar term; a 17-year- old boy was sent to a reformatory for thirteen months, and other boys and men for two and three months each.
 Leading clergymen. including Arch bishop Ryan, held a conference today to discuss means of bringing the strike to a peaceable termination.

 NOT | "sTRAW' VOTE SAYS JUDGE \. 6. BAKER ToDAY's ELECTION NOT AS L"IN- NocENT" AS IT LOOKS. He Says Congress Can Issue Bonds on This Election and No Other
 Is Required.

There is d general and widespread belief among the taxpayers and others of Phoenix that the election today is nothing more nor less than a straw vote to determine which way the wind is blowing. At late hour last night Judge A C. Baker submitted an opin- Ion on-the subject which would go to show that the election -of today is not quite 60 innocent of all conse quences as many suppose.
 In letter to the citizens committee he makes the startling statement that Congress has the power to issue bonds to the amount of s300.000 for munic- ipal electric light and gas plant with out any election other than the one held today"
 If the opinion of Judge Baker should later be upheld by the courts Phoenix may get municipal ownership without really wanting it: for there can be no doubt that the majority of voters. be- fore this opinion was delivered. felt sure that the election was only an in diyidual expression of opinion and meant nothing more. in case it carried. than a sort of warning to the Pacific Gas and Electric company.
 The letter follows in full:
 To the Citizens Committee:
 Gentlemen-You desire to know if. in my opinion. congress can authorize this city to issue bonds in the sum of three hundred thousand ($30a.000) dol lars to build a gas and electrict plant in the city of Phoenix if the election today should be in favor ef issuing bonds for that purpose have no doubt that congress can so do. Con- gross has the power to authorize the city council of Phoenix to issue bonds to the amount of three hundred thou sand ts300.000) dollars for municipal electric light and gas plant without any election other than the one held today:
 Very respectfully yours.
 (Signed) z 4is C. BAKER.

HANDLING OF CREDIT
Is CHIEF BUSINESS
Says Day is Past When Financial Institutions Served
Mainly as Places of Sa tekeeping Tor Cash

Primarily. banks are organized to
provide place for the safe Keeping
of valpables and money" remarked II
Richmond banker Saturday. In the
days when nearly all business was
conducted on "A cash basis, necessi-
tating the handling Of much money.
this part of banking was of great
value to commerce With the increas-
ing use of credit instruments. the I'M
pprtance OF this service has declined
greatly and to-day practically the sole
economic function OF a bank is the
manufacturing and handling OF credit
The importance of this function
can hardly be overestimated. In fact,
commerce could not have developed
much beyond the bartar stage without
the aid OF credit, In scanning the
pages of history. we find that in the
last ANALYSTS the principal raison
a. etre" OF modern banking was the
desire 10 transact the maximum
amount of business on the minimum
amount OF cash.
Though customs and methods have
ehanged this state OF affairs to a large
extent, the fundamental principle re-
mains, and the value OF a banking
system must be measured by the EN-
cheney Of the credit system created
thereby.

Melvin F1egenheimer appears to be

But IT is generally conceded that
Chairman Flegenheimer will be the
party's choice as candidate for Con-
gress TO oppose Captain John Lamb.
There IS apparently no doubt but that
he will be nominated next Tuesday
night.
AT the mass meeting Saturday night
the city republican committee will be
chosen as well as the its chairman and
it is around this issue that interest
