the bluecoats in chorus The reporter
explained that it was only some
kids" on their way home. Three
young fellows, of the sOda-counter
sport class, had heard some lady and
gentlemen cats rehearsng serenade,
and took up the chorus. giving an
imitation of the Tom and Maria duet
that sounded like the wailing of lost
souls. That was all. The kids must
have some fun.

Philadelphia, March 2o-United
States Senator Boies Penrose broke
the strike tonight.
One by one he called before him
the directors of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company and forced
them to accept the terms that were
outlined last Friday.
Kruger, of the Rapid Transit
Company, halted and protested.
Clarence Wolf, vice president,
argued unavailingly. Ballard, chief
counsel, tried TO smooth the retreat
of the company. Nothing served to
move the man who had become the
boss of the situation.
Penrose brought his hand down
on the table in his Office with bang
that shookthe chandeliers He said
that he would break the Rapid
Transit Company into smash and
scatter the pieces over the streets
if they continued to hold out an
other hour. He told them that he
would use every ounce OF power he
had to smash the company if they
continued to back and fill.
HINTS AT A RECEIVERSHIP.
He reminded them of the dubious
financial position they were in. He
threatened to get legislation that would
force them TO make terms less pleasant
than had been submitted. He more than
hinted at a receivership. He dared the
directors to risk action by the common
and select councils.
Kruger. Wolf. and Ballard played for
delay. PenrOse waved all suggestions
. aside. There were two hours of plead
ing on one side and fatfooted dictatlon
on the other.
The Rapid Transit Company officials
gave in. BY 10 o'clock tonight they had
agreed TO everything that Senator PEN
