SERVICE DOUBLED
IN PHILADELPHIA
With Exception Of Stones Thrown at
Police And Breaking of Car
Windows All Was Quiet.

Philadelphia. Pa, Mar. 14.--Attract-
ed by a fire In a boxcar filed with
hay on a railway siding in Kensing-
ton, a crowd of several thousand per-
sons collected late Sunday. Small
boys threw stones at some Of the po-
lice, and later the windows Of mum
ber of cars were broken before the
reserves got the crowd under control.
Aside from the outbreak cars were
run without molestation, and there
were more cars in operation than on
any Sunday since the strike began.
The police and company officials
agreed in the statement that the situ-
alton is improving hourly The rough
element which the company was com
PEELED to hire when the strike was
suddenly sprung is being weeded out
and a better class Of men now operate
the cars.
And we are getting the fares, too, !"
declared an official Where two
weeks ago 100000 fares were collect
ed in one day, yesterday 100000 fares
were turned In. This is, of course, ac-
counted for in part by the fact that
we the running more cars and people
are using them more freely"
The question OF the settlement of
the strike is still the uppermost
thought in the minds Of the citizens
of Philadelphia Nearly everybody
considers arbitration as the natural
method but how to arbitrate is the
question when the company insists
there is nothing to arbitrate.
The officials and directors stick to
their original declaration that the
union will not be dealt with, and
they are apparently just as determin-
ed today as they were three weeks
ago. The officials of the Amalamated
Car Mems Union are just as determin-
ed that no settlement will be accepted
that does not include full recognition
OF the union. There the matter stands
The company offers to take strikers
back and does not demand that they
shall drop their union membership,
but insists that the union shall cut no
figure in any peace negotiations. In
other words. the company is for the
"open shop" plan.
It is not believed that any effort to
secure outside Intervention of the me-
diation Of the Civic Federation Pres
ident Taft Governor Stuart or anyone
else will bear fruit
The authorities look for a big break
in the ranks of the sympathetic strik
ers tomorrow. Many have already re.
turned to work, and the police can
vass, it Is said. shows thousands Will
do so tomorrow A superintendent at
Cramps shipyard declared today that
despite the extraordinary efforts Of
the leaders Of the sympathetic strike
not single one Of 5000 employees of
the big plant walked out.

A WEEK IN DELAWARE

Last week the Diamond State ex-
ercised the grace OF hospitality. One
might suppose from the elaborate en-
terta:nment OF her distinguished guests
that she would sit back and rest upon
her laurels for the few weeks To come.
Rdt such is not the spirit OF the little
commonwealth. The gift OF the $lo,-
600 silver service has in no way over
taxed her desire for public benefits
and the next week finds her again in
the hustle of the execution OF many
charitable schemes. In the hospital
world alone the effort expended forms
a budget of news The New Century
Club building became the center OF a
rushing sale of fruits, Jellies, fancy
articles, cakes and all the attractions
attended upon such an affair, as a
result turning $1,000 into the Babies
Hospital Fund
The Homeopathic Hospital OF the
same city attracted crowds on Friday
through the aitt rnoon and evening,
wilo inspected the improvements whic':
have been made on both the interior
and exterior.
The board Of managers was present
the ladies comprising that body act
ing as hostesscs. The guests were
graciously conducted over the build
ing and were enthusiastic over thc
hospital and its equipn ent.
The annual commend ement OF the
same institution will be held on Tues
day evening, October 25th, five young
women launching forth upon a career
of usefulness.
But the peoples willingness to re
5pond is far from exhausted. Th,
! Delaware Hospital must come in fo1
| her share. Those desirous OF contri
buting may give any salahle articles Il

! Wednesday. October 24,h. A tele
