THEY'RE SPELLERS,
BUT STUMPED
Creek Name Of Indian Origin
Too Much For Park Board
Members

The Park Commission held its month
ly meeting yesterday afternoon and
little business of Importance was
transacted.
The matter Of the proper name for
Allapocas Run. or some other name
similar to that located in the upper
part Of Brandywine Park. was again
up for discussion. Superintendent Of
Parks Mack said that he had madt
inquiries as to the proper way o.
spelling the name which is of Indiar
origin, but gained little information
It was decided TO write to Wilmer
McElree, of West Chester who is writ
ing a history of the Brandywine in the
hope that he can settle this much
mooted question.
just how the name should be spelled
has been a matter which has concerned
the Park Board for sometime. Whether
it should have an "s'' on the end Of it.
or not. and whether it begins with an
o and other differences in spelling it,
is the question which must be settled.
Outside Of the beard a man who is
conversant with Indian names claims
that the proper way to spell the word
is Allopocha,
On motion of Jerome B. Bell it was
decided to request the Street and Sewer
Department TO change the name of
Park avenue, a thoroughfare leading
TO the tower at Rockford Park. to
Tower avenue. It was pointed out that
there are a number of Park avenues
and TO make a distinction the one
leading TO the Rockford tower should
be called Tower avenue, which was

OUT WIRELESS
Report Says High Officials
are Considering New
System

It has been learned from an author
tive source that the wire officials of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
are looking into the matter of wire
less telegraphy and It is believed that
a number of experiments will be tried
on its lines in the near future
The officials believe that The new
system Of handling all the CONNER
cial business Of the railroad company
would work well with the exception
OF in the mountainous districts where
peculiar atmospheric conditions exist.
The Allegheny mountains have been
considered and It is said the system
would not work very satisfactorily
there. 1t is probable that it viii be

The new system has even exceeded
the hopes of the officials. 1t is found
that communication between the dis
patcher and the Offices along the line
is much less subject TO Interruptions
and delays than 1t formerly was, and
he movement of trains in smoother
and more rapid.
Strict rules govern the sending and
the receiving of all messages. The
numbers of trains and engines and the
names of stations must first be pro-
nounced distinctly and then spelled
out I'm full The person at the re-
ceiving end writes out the order from
the dispatcher exactly as If It were re-
ceieved by telegraph.
A feature that has proved of great
value lis the possibility of talking di-
rectly with engineers and conductors
This direct conversation enables tn,
men to carry out orders with fewel
mistakes than IS the case when the,
receive them in the form Of tele
gram.
BY a device known as a "selector'
the dispatcher can call any office n
chooses, without calling other Offices
In a general way the "selector'' ma,

FRIAR LAND SALES
Martin of Colorado Introduces a
Resolution Calling for Facts
from War Department
HENRY TAFT FIGURES IN IT
Havemeyer of Sugar Trust Said
to Have Put Up Money
for Purchase
HENRY TAFT FIGURES IN 1T
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The identl-
ty of actual purchasers of Phlhpplne
friar lands and much other information
bearing on the sale of land in the
island of Mindoro are asked of the war
department in three resolutions adopt
ed by the house today
The resolutions were introduced by
MIR. Martin of Colorado, to develop
whether there is, or was, any connec-
tion between the American Sugar Re-
filming company and Henry w Taft, a
brother of President Taft, and the sale
of the lands, or the arrangements for
their sale.
They were ordered favorably report
ed, with some changes, by the insular
affairs committee, and their adoption
followed a spirited Colloquy between
Chairman Olmstead of the committee
and Mr. Martin
A request by Mr.. Martin for unani-
nous consent to insert in the congress
sonal record testimony given by war
department officials as to the real pur-
chasers of the land was refused.
A fourth resolution by Mr. Martin,
bearing on the general question, was
tabled by the house on recommendation
of the committee, as imposing a doubt
full duty on the department. The reso-
luton directed the secretary of war to
ascertain by cable whether the Min
doro development company has been
authorized to do business in the is
lands"
Mr.. Martin insisted the chief of the
bureau of insular affairs had testified
before the insular committee that the
real purchasers of the land were Hor-
ace HaVemeyer and a man named
Sempff, who was formerly vice presi-
dent of the American Sugar Refining
cOmpanv and another man associated
with the Havemeyers in the sugar busi-
ness.
Mr.. Gerstdorff, the attorney brought
into the transaction by the firm of
Strong & Cadwallader-Henry w.
Taft's firm-according to Mr.. Martin,
testified before the committee that he
carried the transaction through, and
that Horace Havemeyer and Welch
and Sempff furnished the money"

BLOOD DRAIN KILLS MAN
WHO WANTED To DIE.
Young Man Who SIaShed His
Wrists Expires After Re-
covery Seemed Sure

As a result of injuries inflicted by
himself last Wednesday in an attempt
to commit suicide in his room at 6041a
South Hope street, e. c. Layson, 81
years old. who formerly resided in
ShelbeyVille, Ky, died at the county
hospital early yesterday morning from
loss of blood causeOd by his wounds,
Layson was found in his room last
Thursday after lying for sixteen hours
with a deep cash on each side of his
throat and on each wrist When found
he was slowly dying from the loss of
blood. Beside him was found a small
pocket knife with which, it is thought,
he attempted to take his own life. He
was rushed to the receiving hospital
and after being reported as out of
danger was removed to the county
hospital.
Dependency over i'll health and fall
ure to obtain employment is given as
the probable cause for his attempt to
take his life.
He is survived by a mother and
brother, living in Kentucky who have
beeen notified of his death.
His body was removed to the un-
dertaking parors of Booth, BOylson
&, Co, where it will be detained until
word is received from his relatives
as to what disposition is to be made
OF the body.

IF YOU'D RUN COUNTRY,
Do IT SYSTEMATICALLY
Sen. AIdrich Takes Plum in Con-
test of ACrimony Over
Railroad Bill

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Acrimony
and argument stalked side by side
through the senate's consideration OF
the railroad bill today.
Senators Pyles, Lodge and Bristow
were the regular speakers, but there
were so many Interruptions that at
times it was difficult to determine who
held the floor.
There were many sharp tilts between
the senator's, and the discussion was
interesting throughout
Mr.. Pyles undertook to show that the
adoption of the long and short haul
amendment by forcing up rates and
increasing water transportation would
cause the transcontinental railroads to
abandon the coast business.
eff you are going to destroy the busi-
ness of the country" said Mr.. Aldrich
ito make Missoula Mont, or Sallna,
Kas. (the home towns of Senators
Dixon and Bristow), the metropolis of
the world, thenFthere should be some
reasonable rule under which the work
of destruction is to be carried on"
REPLY ACID
Mr.. Dixon replied with bitterness.
He found in the Rhode Island senator s
remarks a repetition of the recent In
vitation of Mr.. Elkins to the west to
"move out"
Mr.. Lodge opposed the amendment
as "an attempt to fix rates by law, >"
which, he said, was equivalent to an
effort to place a straitjacket on AN
ever shifting scale. He thought the
present law ample protection. There
is an instance of the rate being a
failure wherever tried Mr.. Lodge said,
and he declared such legislation as was
under discussion tended inevitably in
that direction.
Mr.. Rristow then took up Mr.. Elkins'
recent invitation to the people of the
interior of the west to move out"
"I did not say it," protested the West
virginia senator. his face redder than
usual. 81 did not say it," he repeated,
and then read from the record TO show
he had coupled a condition with the
suggestion.
Il said" he proceeded, that if they
wanted the advantages of the coast
cities they should move out; that is
what | said, and I said it with deep
regret I meant no offense. The SEN
ator from Kansas does not love his
state any better than I do"
Mr.. Dixon and Mr.. Bailey engaged in
a controversy over an expression of the
former in which he spoke of some SEN
ators as champions of the railroads" ="
"Does the senator mean to say any
senator's are here as champions of the
railroads?" asked the Texas senator.
"I wish the senator would withdraw
the question or address it to some one
else" responded Mrs Dixon
Mr.. Bristow closed with an appeal
for justice for the Pacific states He
said the chiding of those communities
for such a pleading came with poor
grace from chose who represent the
railroad interests
The debate closed with another effort
by Mr.. Elkins to explain away his in
vitation to the people Of the inland
country to move to other sections.

COOPER SEES TAFT, WISE
ONES SAY TARIFF BALM

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-Following
a visit Of Representative Cooper of
Wisconsin, one of the insurgents of the
house, to President Tafts Office today,
the report gained currency that through
the proposed increase in the powers Of
the new tariff board some of the most
serious differences between the Repub-
Ican regulars and insurgents may be
healed.
IT is said President Taft is bringing
all the pressure he can to bear in sup
port of the appropriation of $25O,000
asked for to widen the scope Of the tar
iff board, and to permit that board to
make the necessary Investigations
abroad. The insurgents have promised
the president their support on this ap-
propriation.
