ADVOCATING
A G|RDER RAIL
Danville, March II, 1910.

Danville, March IL, 1910.
Editor Montour American =
Much has been said concerning the
paving of East Market street. Especi-
ally has it been urged that the work
should go forward at once, as the
street needs repairs badly The latter
will not be denied, but at the same
time let us not proceed in too big a
hurry, if thereby we get defective
piece of work-a pavement that will
not meet the requirements.
To come to the point, it is useless
to deny that there is widespread objec-
tion to the paving of East Market
street, in connection with the trolley
rail that is at present i'll use there. 1t
is much to be regretted that proceed
ings to that end have gone as far as
they have, but from present indica-
tions it does not seem unlikely that a
halt may be called.
The fact is that people are generally
awakening to the realization that the
"A inch 4 rail,at present lying on the
street. is not ony too small, but that
it is of the wrong kind. What is need
ed is a girder rail, which, instead of
being a detriment is positive aid to
travel. There are no troublesome
grooves as in the r rail and vehicles
of all sorts naturally use the track. so
that on narrow streets, occupied by
trolley tracks the entire width is
available for genera. traffic
The larger rail used on Mil street
daily affords ana object lesson showing
what disadvantages arise from the use
of y rail ON paved street. The
width of Mill street, however, makes
it practicable toayoid the trolley track
i'm many instances.
On East Market street the condition
will be changed. The street. marrow
enough at present will be still narrow

The fact that representatives of the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit company
and officers of the Central Labor union
and Amalgamated association of street
and electric Railway employees were
brought together late yesterday after
noon for IA "friendly talk and be.
came "better acquainted" is expected
to lead to some definite propositions
upon which negotiations can be open
ed looking to a speedy settlement of
the strike.
Yesterdays conference came so sud
denly that everybody was taken COM
pletely by surprise, and the fact that
both sides got together for an exchange
of views is looked upon as a sign that
the Rapid Transit company is willing
to concede point and discuss peace
plans with the strikers. The traction
officers had repeatedly announced to
various COMMITTEES seeking a settlement
that it would not discuss plans for
ending the conflict until the strikers
returned to work and opened negotia-
tions as employees Of the company.

RICHARDS NOT
SATISFACTORY
Has knowledge Of Game Only
From Spectators View
point, Critics Say
BY Max Balthazar.

DN MAX DdlANdIdls
SAN FRANCISCO. May l7-Fight fans
are showing no enthusiasm to-day over
the se.ecton Of Tex RicSard to referee the
big fight between Jack johnson and Jim
Jemries on July g.
Being an untrled quantity as a referee,
the public Is afraid his selection will
seriously affect the betting, and make
hundreds Of } etters bit chary about
risking their coin. There is no disposi-
tion any where TO question Richards abb
solute honesty, but even his friends con
cede that man with no experience as a
referee is undertaking a big contract in
acting as tile arbiter for the greatest fight
ever pulled of.
For this reason, it is believed that Rick
ard will eventually force Johnson and
Berger to agree on another man.
Rickard has a thorough knowledge Of
the prize fighting game from tho specta-
tors standpoint but this does not neces-
sarily mean that he would get along sue
cessfully as the third man in the ring.
Rickard would probably be so busy look
ing out for fouls that he could not many
sports think pay sufficient attention to
the scientific progress Of the battle so
that IN case il went the limit wrong de-
csion might be given.
There is a general belief too. that Rick
ard as one Of the promoters of the tight
should not act as referee. A few of the
sports take the opposite view. dec airing
that Rickard being the chief promoter will
be above corrupting influences The ma
jority of tho fans say that promoting and
refereeing the fight savors too much of
one man power.
Johnson says the selection Of Rickard
has got TO stick" and that he is not go
ing to worry another minute over the
referee question. Berger however, inti-
mates that Richards selection is "only
tentative"
johnson submitted only two names for a
referee. Eddie Graney and Jack Welsh
while Billy Roche, Charley Eyton. Johnny
Herget, Eddie Smith and PIN. Wand were
suggested by Berger. Berger offered to
leave the selection of referee to the
sporting editors of the San Francisco
newspapers but johnson would not listen
TO this. Finally Richards name was sug-
gested and without further parleying the
promoter was agreed on.
