PHILADELPHIA, June 21.-Three men
who went up in the balloon Pennsyl-
vania II yesterday afternoon. had not
been heard from up to noon today, and
their families and friends are making
anxious inquiries about them.
The men are Arthur T Atherholt Of
Philadelphia, president of the Pennsyl-

West Chester, Pa. and Lawrence Hess,
jr., Bridgeton, n. J.
The start was made from the northeast
ern part of this city at about o'clock in
the afternoon and the big gas bag sailed
out Of sight in northeasterly direction
toward New York. About six hours
after they started there was a terrific
storm, the wind reaching a velocity of
sixty miles an hour.
Usually on such a Journey the balloon
would be heard from in few hours, and
the failure to get responses to their in
quiries causes friends to fear that 1t
may have met with mishap in the hurri-
cane and thunderstorm.

REPROOF Of MANAGER
TURNED INTO PRAISE
Neglect of Bookkeeper Saves
Eight Hundred Dollars
From Burglary.

NEW YORK, June 21.-Few delinquents
in New York have had to take the scold-
ing that came to the bookkeeper for the
Consolidated Enclosing Company at 40
Elizabeth street when the manager dis
covered that the custodian of accounts
had neglected to send to the bank for the
weekly payroll of $500. The fact that
the Office force had been usually busy
did not avert the managerial wrath. The
money should have been in one of the
three safes ready for disbursement this
morning.
Burglars the Losers.
And few managers have ever been so
humble in the presence Of subordinates
as that same overload of the enclosing
company was this morning. For the
office had been visited by cracksmen in
the night and each of the three safes
blown open. Instead of reaping richly.
the burglars got only s6:4!. To offset
that they left behind them a set of
tools worth more than the amount OF
the plumber.
The Offices of the enclosing concern
are on the second floor in the rear and
occupy two rooms. In one of the rooms
there is one safe. and in the other two.
1t is the custom of the establishment
to draw money for the pay roll Fridays.

fees were opened. Came o'clock and
the boss with congratulations, apologies
and general managerial abasement.
Everybody took a few minutes off to
remind each other that this is the third
burglary in the establishment. About

LOW WAGES NOT BLAMED

ing Girls.

NEW YORK. June 81. A negative
opinion concerning the alleged direct re-
lation Of working girls low wages to
the social evil is contained in a state
ment issued today by the voluntary COM
mittee Of nationally prominent social
workers who met here April IL to IN
vestigate the subject.

that injustice has been done working

partment stores. by 1.-The widespread

tinues. certainly do not wish to lntinate
that the wages paid are too hish OF even
sufficient That is question to De con-
sidered on different grounds. and our

The conclusion Of the investigators re-
port is as follows: ;,
"Our observation and experience indi-
cate that the most important contributing
causes of immortality among girls are
Weakness of mind and will, Individual
temperament immoral associates. lack
OF religious or ethical training: injurious

at the announcement of the interstate

substance Of the commissions order.

transportation now in effect in official

'Second-If not, what plan shall be
adopted to increase such transportation
charges?
This is exactly what we are anxious
to have done. If the claims of the rail-
roads are well founded it will be dis
closed by the inquiry. and if it is ascer-
tanned that they do need additional
revenue it appears to be the purpose of
the commission to give consideration to
the matter in which such Increased
revenues can best be obtained. In other
words, the carriers are given an oppor-

do the commission will give considera-

necessary increased revenue. Certainly
