MANY SIGN
DAVIS PETITION
Republicans Want Him For
Senator.
he CONSENTS TO STAND
Morris Davis Will Probably Enter
Party Primaries Wholly
Unopposed.

Petitions are being numerously
signed by Republicans Throughout the
county, naming Postmaster Morris
Davis as a candidate for StatetSenator
from Cumberland County iR the Re-
publican primaries to be he'd in Sep
tember.
Postmaster Davis yesterday con-
sented to allow the use1lN his name
as candidate, and at once there were
several petitions prepared and placed
in circulation for Signatures. Hun
dreds of names were PLACED upon the
petitions yesterday, and HiwasSevident
that most Republicans were anxious
to have their names, Upon the Davis
petitions. As
When Republiqafs approached> Mr..
Davis and asked htm to be candidate
for Senat6fsshe deprecated the idea
and at<the same. time was making an
effort to find some strong Republican
yao would make the campaign. The
pressure of public opinion within the
Republican ranks became so great
that the Postmaster could not lightly
pass it by, and despite his disinclina-
ton, was obliged to give the matter
serious consideration
1t was not until yesterday that Mr..
Davis finally consented to allow the
use of his name. He has talked with
many Republicans and independent
voters, together with quite number
of men who last fall were a part of
the Progressive Party movement, and
they have assured him that they would
give him support, and declared that
he would prove an especially strong
man in the primary and on election
day.
Mr.. Davis will probably be unop-
posed in the primary While he has
not been selected as a candidate by
any organization within his party, his
candidacy has met popular approval
and he will be accorded the support
of practically all of the party.

FIGHTING POLES
BEFORE MAYOR
They Had Fierce Row Last
Night.
Man STOLE MONEY.
Finally Before the Mayor the Man
Admitted He Took Cash and

Mayor Whitaker had a tangled mess
TO unravel at City Hall this morning,
which he did successfully, displaying
in the act the wisdom of Solomon.
Last night a desperate fight among
some Poles-men and women-took
place in front of George Toler's res
taurant at Washington and Cohansey
streets. The fight became so danger
GUS that Toler grabbed a Polish man
and the woman, marched the rest of
the gang in front of him and mar
shalled them all to City Hall, where
he turned the man and woman over
to officer Barton
The woman then made a charge
against the man of stealing So from
her bureau drawer.
This morning the man was brought
before the Mayor. He gave his name
as Alexandra Yasturatzk and the wo-
mans name is Mary Yurkaritz. She
keeps a boarding house at 46 Mt. ver-
non street.
The Mayor pointed out to Alexandra
that he knew himself whether or not
he stole Mary's money, and if he did
do so, and chose to admit it and would
return the money to her, the case
would go no further but would be
dropped right then.
The man finally handed back the
money, admitted he took it from the
bureau, and agreed to pay her what
he still owed her for board
So the case was ended and all de-
parted.

LEASE HELD Up
Public UliIiiy Commission
Does Not App owe.
PtAAA. WANTS LtASt
Agreement to Take Line For 900
Years Still Lacks State
Sanction.

Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, accom-
panied by Allan H. Strong, chief coun-
sci of the company for New Jersey,
and A. ]. County, assistant to Presi-
dent Rea, appeared before the New
Jersey Public Utility Commission in
Camden yesterday, and asked why the
lease OF the West Jersey and Seashore
Railroad Company to the Pennsylvan-
la Railroad Company, which was to
have gone into effect July 1 had not
been approved
Mr.. Rea was told that the fault lay
with the Pennsylvania Railroad in not
having filed the proper data in the
matter of guaranteeing dividends to
the stockholders affected by the 999-
year lease.
Professor Winthrop Daniel one of
the commission, explained that the
commission must be satisfied that the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad, in the event of
| any subsequent rate decision by the
| board would not cite it's approval of
the lease under present. conditions as
an argument against new schedule.
Mr.. Rea said he did not consider it
a fair proposal to bind the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad under any such agree
ment. THE West Jersey and Seashore
Company iL now earning 91a per
cent. he said, "and your commission
attempts to bind our company, which
has negotiated lease for 999 years
to the payment of per cent. divi.
dend, when some subsequent rate de.
cision which you or your successors
hand down may make it impossible
for us to earn even per cent. l con.
slider this manifestly unfair"
The Pennsylvania Railroad owns
outright sly per cent. OF the stock OF
the West Jersey and Seashore Rail.
road does it not?" asked President
Donges.
Yes" was Mr. Strong's reply.
The policy of this State is thai
bonded Indebtedness of any railroad
shall not exceed is capital stock. Sup.
post mortgage bonds were issued tc
exceed the capital stock, how are we
to protect the minority West Jersey
and Seashore stockholders asked
Mr.. Donges.
| The West Jersey and Seashore
Railroad is New Jersey corporation
and the lessee must abide by the ord
ers of this commission and the laws
of New Jersey" replied Mr.. Strong
| I'VE must submit all future bond OF
security issues to the board of direc-
tors of both companies for their ap-
proval. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company must abide by yours laws
regardless of this lease"
The reason for the commission S
| Withholding it's approval, as explained
by Chairman Donges, was to ascertain
whether or not, in. the next 999 years
any>r rate decision by it would effect
the dividend. 81
After some discussion by all inter-
ested, the commission took the mat
ter under advissrent and promised a
decision at an early date after the re-
ceipt of certain data which was re-
quested from the Pennsylvania Rail-
road officials.

GREAT RACING
OVER IN SALEM
BERTHE Chimes Made q Great
Fight.
4 StR|UUS MIX-UP.
Many People Enjoyed the Light
Harness Sport at Salem
Yesterday.

Salem, N. j., July 16.-The two days
meeting at the track of the Salem
Driving Park Association this after
noon proved the banner opener of the
organization. There were three
events on the card, but it took 16
heats to decide the winners, with ay-
erage time of 2.17A heat. Every
heat was close and exciting, not a
winner having a walk-over, and sew
eral favorites fell by the wayside.
In the 2.30 mixed, Akbar, a green
PAGER, driven by A. H. Tyson, won af-
ter dropping the first heat to Grace
Parker, and in the second heat took
mark of 2.19A, which apparently
was not his limit. In the third heat
DR.. Chimes, Sallie Patrick and Wath-
an got into a mix-up and Drivers
Morris and Schaeffer were thrown,
but not injured. DR.. Chimes made
full circuit of the track before caught,
and escaped with bruised hooks. The
OCAiOA hOl oOo WCl z lAOI Au1
1t required seven heats to decide the
winner in the 2.17 trot, and Lucy Van,
2.13A, showed her class by out-step-
ping her competitors after the fourth
heat. The Baltimore mare Grace j.,
started out like a winner, but dropped
the third and fourth heats to BERTHE
Chimes, who reduced her mark in the
third heat to 2.16A in a hard drive in
the stretch. Lucy Van, who had been
contender in each heat, then started
in to annex the event
! The bay mare Alice NJ, of Washing
ton, carried off the honors in the PA
class mixed, after five heats, but had
a hard drive to land the heats. Steel
King, Barnetta B, and DR.. Wilkes
fought hard for this even, but the lit
tie mare out-stepped them in the
stretch
