PHILADELPHIA TRANSIT LOAN
Drexel & Co. S Five Per Cent Offer Is
Opposed
lBy TsIegfaoh 10 The tribune. ]


Philadelphia, May 23.-For nearly three
hours this afternoon Rapid Transit and
Union traction interests wrangled over tho
loan which the operating street railway
company requires. It is now learned that
some rapid transit men felt aggrieved al
the proposition made by the company S
bankers.
This is one of the reasons why the nego-
tiations ran into a tangie last month. 1t
is understood that Drexel & Co. asked q
commission OF per cent, or 100000 for
placing the proposed $4,000 loan. Some
Rapid Transit directors expressed the view
that the terms were too stiff for a ten
years loan upon which the interest rate
was 10 be 5 per cent
To-day the Rapid Transit company.
carried its troubles before the board of di-
rectors of the Union Traction Company
and asked for permission to pledge fire In
surance fund securities worth about 81, $50,
000. The idea seems to De that by pledging
as many of these as may be necessary, in
addition to the Rapid Transit cars. which
the bankers appraised as worth s., 900 600, a
loan of 100000 may be arranged in some
satisfactory way.
The Widener-Parsons interest has been
left entirely on the outside in the formation
of the negotiation committees II is still
intended that certain directors shall go be-
hind the proposed financing in some way.

BUSINESS MAN WANDERING
Ambulance Surgeon Calls Case
Species of Aphasia.

A man who, according to card found
In his pocket. is William G. Johnson,
an importer, of New York and London,
was picked up while in q dazed condi-
ton at the corner of 106th street and
Columbus avenue last night by Patrol
man George s. Reilly and taken TO the
West Tooth street police station. Later
he was removed TO the J. Hood Wright
Hospital.
The policeman saw the man limping
along the street. and after watching him
for some time, asked him if he was ill.,
Reilly said the question and others that
followed elected only aimless mutterings,
and he took him TO the station house,
where the lieutenant and others tried in
vain to get information from him.
An ambulance caH to the J. Hood
Wright Hospital brought DR. Breglis,
who said that the mans knee was in
jured. In the physicians opinion, this
injury. which had been caused either by
heavy blow or fall, had brought on
q species of aphasis, and accounted for
the mans condition. The doctor then
removed him TO the hospital

drawn as a result of conferences be-

strong Investigating Committee. The

limit, but Mr.. Allen said that in two
years five other companies would ex-
ceed that limit They were the Pruden-

College OF Cincinnati, where the degree
of rabbi had been conferred upon him.
Asked for His Views.


Finally the trustees of the congrega-
ton requested MIN to put into sermon
his exact views on reform and TO indi-
cate what changes, if any, he desired
DR.. Magnes complied with this request
on April "a last, which was the first day
of the Jewish Passover, and preached
the sermon which resulted last night in
the failure of the congregation to re-
elect him.
In this sermon he attacked reform
Judaism, in which Temple Emanu- e
had been a leading force for more than
half century, telling the. members of
the congregation that it had proved in
of piety and the spirit OF prayer, anc
that the religious service had no hold
on the young, many of whom were drift
ing to other religions in search of spirit
ual guidance.
As remedy he proposed a return
toward what many considered orthodox
| tendencies; a restoration of the Bar
Mitzvah, or Hebrew confirmation OF
boys; the compulsory study Of Hebrew
IN the sunday ScnOOt, a0Glt classes 1Of
the sttdy of Hebrew literature; the
abandonment of the Union prayerbeok
now in use among all reform congrega- :
tions; for the traditional Jewish prayer
book, and the restoration of some of the
orthodox symbols and ceremonies which
reformed Jews have discarded.
The board of trustees held several se-
cret meetings, at which DR.. Magnes's s
views were carefully discussed, prior to
the time he wrote them his letter of
May Is.
