MYSTERY BATTLES POLICE
Man Found Unconscious In Narberth
Puzzles Authorities.

Narberth residents are puzzled and the
police are investigating the mystery sur
rounding an accident to George Dillon,
100 Essex avenue, Narberth, well-knOwn
along the Main Line. who was found ly-
ing beside the eastbound track of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, between Narherth
and Wynnewood this morning, when la
borers employed in the electriication of
the line passed the place on their way TO
work.
Dillon was unconscious and there were
deep gashes in his head. Apparently he
had been lying in the grass beside the
tracks for hours. The men who found
him notified the Bryn Mawr Hospital,
where he was taken in an ambulance.
After a hurried examination physicians
said Dillons skull appeared to be frac-
tured He did not regain consciousness
and little nope Is held out for his re-
Coyery.
No one in Narberth can explain the nc.
cident. At first 1t was thought the man
had been attacked but examination Of his
injuries led to the belief that he had
been struck by a locomotive.

MAYOR WOULD GIVE
UNEMPLOYED QUICK
WORK ON CONTRACTS
Plans to Avoid Customary
Delays in Councils After
Voters Have Approved
$ll,3 100000

| Mayor Blankenburg asserts In state
ment that Councils can pass preliminary
legislation that will make possible the
| beginning of work on s4O00,000 of con-
tracts under the proposed sl1,3O0 900 loan
| for improvements one month after the
! measure is passed by the voters, Novem-
ber 8. He will send a message to Coun-
ellis next week embodyng his recom-
mendations.
The Mayor declares that the cumber-
some delays OF councilmanlc procedure
may be well out of the way by the time
the loan is passed and an army of unem-
ployed men In Philadelphia may obtain
work on municipal contracts early in De-
cember.
The usual slow processes of Councils, he
says. would delay the actual start Of
construction on projects included In the
loan bill until next summer. The Mayor
points out that the appropriation ordi-
nances of the 100000 pahsed at the cleo
ton in November, 1912, were not passed
by Councils until the following May.
1t is recommended by the Mayor that
the loan ordinance, which must be ad
vertised four weeks. be introduced at the
meeting of Councils next Thusday and
the advertising of the loan be begun i'm
mediately although the final passage of
the ordinance would not be made until
after the election returns receive the
certifcation of the Judges sitting as a
return board. BY that action Councils
could pass the ordinance at the meeting
December g.
Appropriation ordinances distributing
the amounts from the loan could also be
passed in Councils in anticipation of the
favorable action on the loan by the
voters. the Mayor asserts. That pro-
cedure, the Mayor contends, would enable
the heads of the municipal departments
to know definitely what it is proposed to
do, to prepare specifications, advertise
for bids and be in a position to award
contracts Immediately upon the passage
of the loan ordinance on December by
Select Council and it's signature by the
Mayor.
Although Mayor Blankenburg did not
refer definitely in his statement to the
prediction resolution, of philanthropic
tone, passed enthusiastically by Councils
at. the last meeting-to make the work
ing men of the city objects of charity
during the coming winter. instead of pro-
vidiHg them with employment-he said
in connection with the course of action
he outlined:
'Th.s would provide a measure of sup
port to labor in Philadelphia far beyond
any artificial relief measures that might
be adopted either by the municipal gov
ernment or by public-spirited and gener-
ously disposed citizens. Those out of en-
ployment at the present time want work
and not charity"
The phase of grim humor in the RE-
lief" resolution introduced in Councils is
that it's sponsor was John r. Connolly,
NcNichols chairman of the finance COM
mittee. That same committee is keeping
i56 street repair men out OF work at pres
ent by withholding a $4,000 appropriation
from the Department of Public Works. In
spite OF appeals of the men out of en-
ployment and two messaE Ees sent to Coun-
ellis by Mayor BlankenburE

MANY WILL HEAR BRYAN
Convention Hall Likely Will Be
Crowded to Fullest Capacity.

An enthusiastic welcome is anticipated
for William Jennings Bryan, Secretary OF
State who is to make the address of the
evening at the peace meeting to be held
in Convention Hall on Monday evening,
October II. Inquiries regarding means of
admission have been pouring in from
every quarter, and 1t is likely the seat
ing capacity OF the hall, which is 10000
will prove inadequate for the occasion.
A limited number of general admission
tickets have been placed with the EVEN
ING LEDGER for distribution, and these may
be obtained by applying at the business
office, 9Th and Chestnut streets.
