APPEAL FOR TROLLEY
ANB WELDIN ROADS

Some residents Of Brandywino
hundred are exercised because the
entire appropriation to the hundred
under the good roads bill passed by
the Legislature a year ago is being
used 10 build but one road. instead
OF being applied to several roads
named in the bill The appropria-
tion for Brandywine hundred speci-
fed in the bill is s2s,3O0 and tho
law further says: "The following
roads shall be fully built and COM
pletod in the respective hundreds
under the provisions Of this act. I'M
sofar as the funds by this act pro-
vided will permit. before any other
roads in said hundreds shall be
built"
For Brandywine hundred. the roads
named in order are from the Phila-
delphia turnpike to the Pennsylvania
line. the Weldin road beginning at
the Foulk road as far as the Talley
road thence by way Of the Talley
road to Shellpot school: the road
leading from Miller's crossroads on
the Foulk Road to Namaan's Greek
road at Point Breeze school. and the
Marsh road leading from the Phila
delphia turnpike to Silverside Inn
proved road.
A contract for constructing the
road connection extending from the
northern end Of the Philadelphia
turnpike to the Pennsylvania line
has been awarded to the Horrigan
Company for 500 9.757.35 which is S457
more than the appropriation under
, the last good roads law to Brandy
b wine hundred. The road is 4-10t
q miles long. and the contract price Il
: about $4,000 a mile.

renee Of the rioting there, Thursday

negroes. officials of the town were
determined to suppress any disorder
that might arise and they gladly ac-
cepted the assistance offered by the
officers of the fort
A rumor was circulated duing the
dav that the fight would be resumed
last night. This rumor was Agiven
some credence when early ih the
evening two fires broke out Within
a short time of each other, their
mysterious origin giving rise tolthe
possibility that they were of inen-
diary origin. Both were cxtingush-
ed, however, by the fire departmat
before much damage was done.
Early in the evening fire broke p
house adjoining Hickey's restaurant
near the wharf. and about an hou'
later fire started in a stable near thu
center of the town.
At 3 o'clock two captains from th'
fort, with big guard, came into tn

LONDON, March / AS a result Of
the suffragette demonstration late
yesterday when the plate glass win
dows of scores 'of department stores
were smashed, Mrs Pankhurst and
Miss Mabel Tukeach, two of the most
prominent leaders of the militant or
ganization were today sentenced to
two months imprisonment Mrs Emma
Marshall who admitted that she had
participated in both of the outbreaks
was also sent to the Old Bailey to
serve fifty-one days.
When the ffty-one prisoners cap
tured in yesterdays raid were ar
raigned in the Bow street police court
all other women were barred. Hun
drds of women, however, lined the
street in front of the court and cheered
frantically as the prisoners we're taken
into the building under heavy guard.
The authorities were evidently afraid
OF more rioting and police reserves
were stationed every few feet along
the street
In opening for the prosecution. At
torney Muskett arraigned the suhra-
gettes in the bitterest terms. He de-
clared the city had stood for too many
deeds of lawlessness from female
cranks" and that unless an example
was made of them their ouIbursts
would undoubtedly lead to bloodshead.
Attorney Muskett said that yester-
days demonstration was wholly IN
called for Dozens of merchants who
had taken no part one way or the
other in the fight for suffrage had
been made the victims Of wild emo
tionalists" who needlessly sacrificed
total of S25.0O worth IF property for
the purpose of calling attention 10
the cause"
The prosecutor requested Magis-
trate Bennett to sentence all OF the
prisoners to long terms az hard 'abor.

Company Mana1sr Says Utili-
ties Commission Order
Will be Complied Nth
FAVORS FOR employees
AND UNIFORMED GFFICEAS

The Public Utilities Commission has
put a k.nk IN the practice OF issuing
street car passes. i'm vogue with the
Peoples Railway Company The com
pany will be requested to discontinue
passes to all persons except employees
of the concern, uniformed public oiii-
cials or employees while In the dis
charge of their duties This order
includes policemen i'm plain clothes,
unless they wear their badges The
action came as a surprise TO many
persons, as they were of the opinion
that the Utilities Commission had
jurisdiction over only city employees.
Manager r. w. Crook Of the railway
company had the same impression,
and has already sent out passes TO
few persons, not ON the city pay
rolls
Mr.. Crook said today 10 a reporter
for THE EVENING JOURNAL that he
had not heard officially of the action
taken by the Board of Utilities Com
mission, but knew Of Il through the
newspapers. He was asked If he
would abide by the action taken by the
Board. and replied that he would.
Asked If he would recall the passes
he had issued to date, Mr.. Crook said
that as far as they did not apply 80
employees, he would. He said he had
sent out only a few and had kept the
remainder back until the Board OF
Public Utilities Commission had pass
ed upon the question.
The section upon which the board
acted follows:
ITO direct any such public utility
as herein defined, found to be grant
ing unjust. unfair or unreasonable
determinations. 10 Immediately cease
from so doing.
mo such public utility. as here
inbefore defined, shall hereafter give.
grant or hestow. upon any public
official. any discrimination. gratuity,
or free service whatsoever. but
nothing herein contained shall pro-
vent the free transportation OF uni
/ formed public officers while engaged
in the pursuit Of their public duties.
The commissioners also decided .,
request all trolley companies to equil
new cars ordered by them from thi
time on, with up-to-date tenders, AM
'falsU equip them with supplementary
wheel guards and safety grab han
dies. such as are used on the nea
side cars operated in Philadelphia.
A request is also made of the vii

spectators laughed at his remarks and
were thertened with eviction by the
bailiffs.
Suffragettes who oppose the mill
tant methods Of the faction under
the leadership of Mrs. Pankhurst,
bitterly denounced the destruction Of
store windows
Fear Public sympathy.
Business men who suffered a loss
Of $4,000, complained they had not
been given sufficient police protec-
tion and insisted that the govern
ment should recompense them for
their loss. They did not believe
sentences to hard labor were advis-
able, however. fearing that they
would be able to arouse public sym
pathy by their protestations that
they were martyrs to a just cause.
Mrs. Pankhurst Admits II.
When Mrs. Pankhurst was called
to the witness stand she freely ad-
mitted that she had helped smash the
windows in Premier Asquiths resi-
dence.
What the suffragettes have
done" she said, lis only flea bite
compared with what the miners are
prepared to do 10 win their struggle.
I'VE are prepared to take any step
necessary to attain our object. We
are willing to pay the price that the
government may demand. Until we
get the power to make laws We will
continue to break them.
At this point she was interrupted
by Magistrate Bennett. who declared
that such demonstrations could not
be tolerated.
IF the present laws are unjust,
he said. they must be amended. But
the violent steps you are taking will
only destroy your own cause"
The sentencing of the other pris-
oners continued rapidly. Most OF
them admitted their guilt

AFTER PARK
Third Ward Residents Ask for
Breathing Spot on Morocco
Plant Site
Mr.. BANCROFT OBJECTS
BECAUSE OF HIGH COST

Fifty residents Of the Third ward
met in the General Pulaski Polish
Club Hall at Second and Justison
streets last evening, and strongly ad-
vocated the purchase Of the United
Leather Company property at Fourth
and Monroe streets by the Board of
Park Commissioners for park pur-
poses. Several OF the park board
members attended the meeting.
BESIDE the Fourth and Monroe
streets site, several sites are being
looked upon as possible parks by the
park board One is a portion OF the
block beginning at the southwest cor
ner of Third and West streets, and
another site at Conrad and Jackson
streets.
The meeting was called to order
by Councilman Edward A. higgins
Senator Thomas NJ Monaghan pre-
sided and George w Denny, was ap-
pointed secretary In letters sent TO
The meeting, Clement Is. Hallam and j.
NJ. Griffin expressed themselves as Ia
voring the Fourth and Monroe streets
site as a civic betterment as well as
providing an urgently needed play
ground.
Park Engineer Mack said the city
was not in a position to purchase
three sites. and that the proposed
ACQUISITION had not been viewed from
any ward standpoint but from the
standpoint of cOngested districts. He
said that the sites in the First and
Tenth wards appeared to be best
adapted to existing needs and would
be cheaper.
]. Edward McNabb in speaking OF
the congestion in the Third ward, ad-
vocated a park for that locality and
looked upon the Fourth and Monroe
streets site as a suitable selection
He annouced that If the Third warc
oidnt get a park now t might neve'
get one.
George W. Bader disapproved Of tn,
First ward site because of the odor'
omanating from the various estaD
| lishments in that district. He IA
vored the Third ward because tn
/ children living In It were forbidden b.
/ the police TO play on the streets.
DR.. J. w. Bastian and Thomas Nc
Goldrick expressed the opinion tina
the Fourth and oMnroe streets sit
would serve best. the latter sayin
that many residents Of the Third war
could not afford 20 eXpend carfare O.
reach the other parks.
President William 7. Bancroft, o
the Park Board. said the commission
desired to abate congestion and tina
it did not favor any particular ward
He said the only objection to tn
Fourth and Monroe streets site was IL
cost and its smallness of area. II
! estimated that It would cost "a cent
square foot. while the Tenth ant
First ward sites per square foot coull
be purchased for 70 cents and 6S cent
respectively. The Tenth ward sit
covered an extent of one and one-hal
acres, said Mr. Bancroft.
