NIGHT SERVICE
On Philadelphia Streets
By Surface Cars,
No Riot Calls Thursday and
Much Fewer Arrests.
General Strike Deferred at Request
OF Striking Car Men.

Philadelphia, Feb. 24.-Surface cars
were operated on the principal streets
of the city tonight until midnight, the
first time since the beginning of the
present strike against the Philadel-
phia Rapid Transit Co. Since the
strike began all cars were withdrawn
from service at dusk, but tonight,
guarded by members of the state po-
lice, the cars continued to run even
through the turbulent mill districts of
Kensington and Frankfort.
Although the Transit Co. officials re-
ported tonight that 81 cars had been
stoned during the day, no disturbance
was permitted to attain serious pro-
portions. All outbreaks We're quickly
quelled by the police and not riot
call was sent to headquarters. During
the day, according to the company s
figures, 144 cars We're in operation and
sc of these continued to run until mid
night Increased service is promised
by the company, which announces that
400 new men. many of whom were for
merly in the employ of the company,
were hired today and will take out
cars tomorrow.
| President Kruger and other officials
of the Rapid Transit Co. refused to
comment today on the request received
from the committee of representa-
tive churchmen that the grievances of
| the strikers be submitted to a board OF
arbitration. An acknowledgement of
the receipt of the letter was forwarded
to the clergymen with the statement
that it would be referred to the board
of directors of the company. The next
regular meeting of that body will be
HELD week from next Monday and Of
fciais of the company say the ques-
ton of calling a special meeting has
not been discussed.
| This proposal for arbitration, which
was made by representatives of &c dis
| tinct religious denominations, includ-
ing the leading clergymen in this city,
has been approved by the strikers. who
suggest, however, that one of the sew
en- members on the proposed board of
arbitration be a representative of or
ganizcd labor.
| Only one third as many arrests were
made by the police today as We're mace
yesterdy. when IS persons were taken
| into custody. Among those arrested
| was the son of constable in the Of

Peop|e--Ifish Party Is Solid.

London, Feb. @t.-The first trial OF
strength in tire new Parliament oc-
Cured tonight at crowded session Of
the House of Commons, when Austen
Chamherlain's fiscal amendment was
rejected by vote of 2S5 to 254. Speech
es We're made by Arthur j. Ealfour,
leade" Of the Opposition; Chancellor
Lloyd-George, Walter Runciman, pres
ident of the Board of Education; A
BOnar Law and others, none of which
however, gave any new aspect to the
fiscal controversy. Although victorious
only by the narrow majority of 81, the
government may regard the result as
very satisfactory inasmuch as there
was: no cross-voting or evidence of any
intention on the part of the discomfort
ed groups to overthrow the ministry.
All the O'Brienites as we'll as the Red
monites abstained from voting. The
Labortes voted with the government
and three Liberals Hiliare Belloc, Ho-
ratio w. Bottomley and J. c. Wedg-
wood, abstained.
Division was taken amidst scene of
great excitement and the figures as
announced We're received with tremen-
dous Opposition cheering. The premier
having given notice that he would
move Monday that government bust
ness would take precedence over all
other business until March "a, the
House adjourned.
The governments existence now will
depend upon the production of plan
satisfactory to the Nationalist and
the Radicals for dealing in a drastic
manner with the House of Lords pow

NO DANGER.
Sec. Knox Has No Fear
Of War With Japan,
Mr.. Shaw's Utterance Merely
Argument for Ship Subsidy.
Report of War Talk Gives Gloomy
Impression in Japan,

Washington, Feb. 24.-"There is not
the slightest likelihood Of any trouble
with Japan any more than with any
other country with which we have ex-
cellent relations of friendship"
This statement was made today by
Secretary OF state Knox to a repre-
sentative Of The Associated Press
when shown copies of the press dis
patches from Toxic indicating con-
siderable discussion in Japan of re-
ported utterances Of Mr.. Shaw, eX-
secretary of the treasury and Of Gen.
Bell, and alleged anti-Japanese eX-
pressions in San Francisco. The sec
rotary expressed great surprise that
notice should be taken Of such trfles
and he added:
Mr.. Shaw's speech was obviously
nothing but an argument for ship
subsidy and what Gen. Bel said made
no reference to trouble in the Far East
and was quite evidently an ordinary
argument for increased appropriations
for the army. AS for the San Francis
co report everybody knows that our
immigration arrangement with Japan
is working entirely satisfactorily. If
in spite Of this agitators will talk, no
Serious minded person should be dis
turbed.''
Toxic, Feb. 24-Special dispatches
to the newspapers from the United
States report a recrudescence of the
anti-Japanese movement at San Fran
cisco. Today all the papers featured
the speech Of Leslie M. Shaw, former
secretary of the treasury, in which he
is reported as having said that war
between the United States and Japan
was inevitable. The speech has caus-
ed a most gloomy impression among
Japanese and foreigners alike.
The specials quote Maj. Gen. J.
Franklin Bell as having said that war
between the two countries was likely
to break out at any moment The
press and the public are unable to
understand the reasons for these vio-
lent utterances.
The Asahi Shimbun and the Jill
Shimpo print long specials from San
Francisco, quoting from Mr.. Shaw's
speech before the Washington Asso-
citation in New Jersey at Morristown,
n. j., on last Tuesday. Editorially the
papers repudiate the suggestion that
Japan is seeking the control of the
Pacific and declare that American
competition will be welcomed.
san Francisco, Feb 24.-Complying
with the recommendation of the labor
council, the Walters Union adopted
u resolution today prohibiting its mem
bers from wearing the union button in
houses where Orientals are employed.
Secretary Beck of the Walters Union
said today that if the council would
finance a general boycott against rest
aurants and cafes employing Orientals
the union could call out it's 500 men
now employed in such places.

aid that he had learned that two men

rectlv suggested that the prosecutor
could retire a rich man if he would

ers.
The two men, according to the off,
cial in Mr. Caravans office, asked
whether the prosecution of the pack
ers was a question of money and said

the present proceedings. The official
declined to give the name of Mr.. Car
vens friend who was approached in
the matter.

tempted bribery was brought to Mr.

was eating his lunch in a restaurant neal

itively refused to discuss the matter. He

If 1 had waited till Mark came home

have explained it. And yet didn't see
how he could.

skinny old maid with sour face. She
didn't live near us any more, and I

minutes it occurred TO me that If l

some day come back to me, but he did

But he never came. There was a

The Commission Form.

Rockford Star: Better govern
ment means greater progress, and
that is the primary object of the
commission form of government
Over one hundred cities in the
United States have adopted the COM
mission plan. Though arguments
may be made pro and con by advo-
Gates and opponents OF the plan here
the one unanswerable argument
which may be advanced by every
friend of the proposition is that in
every city which has adopted the
commission plan better government
and greater progress have resulted
and not one OF the cities which has
given the new plan a trial would re-
turn to the old aldermanic form of
government.
Through the medium Of the COM
mission plan irrevelant partisan poll
tics may be eliminated from munich
pal government. Responsibility is
directly fixed with mayor and four
commissioners who are heads of five
departments.
1t is simply the placing of govern
ment on a purely business-like basis
and taking It out Of petty interests.
