POLITICS ALREADY
HAS PALM OUT FOR
$4,000 CITY AIMS
Charity Workers Declare
Undesirables From Other
Cities Will Get What
Ward FIeelers Leave.

The fear that improper political infiu-
ences might accompany the distribu-
ton OF the $4,000 appropriation for the
unemployed, 1t was suggested today by
social workers. was largely the cause
OF tho refusal OF four charity agencies to
take part in the distribution.
The ordinance granting an appropria-
tion was fathered by Common Council
men John p. Connolly. 1t had the sup
port of the Organization, of which Com
nelly is mouthpleoe. The idea of help.
ing the unemployed came as pre-elec-
tlon appeal.
Philadelphia is the only large city
which has appropriated cash funds for
distribution among the unemployed
Buffalo IN 1898 experimental with ordi-
nances Rpproprlatlng city money to aid
the unemployed. This scheme which had
the backing of politicians, was COM
plete failure. The city was invaded by
unleslrables.
Common Councilman Connelly's ordi-
nance, which passed Councils. Is charac-
teri2ed by many persons as an invita-
ton for bums' and "hoboes from all over
the country to come to Philadelphia and
the view expressed by Robert d. Dripps
Common Councilman from the 22d Ward,
who was the only member OF Councils to
vote against the appropriations.
II was learned today that long before
Mayor BlanSenburg reluctantly signed
the measure. many applications for fnan-
cial aid began to reach the different
charitable organizations from out of
town. The applicants had read of the
$4,000 appropriation and insisted that
they were entitled to a share.
Among the applicants was a police SER
geant of the 39th district, who wanted a
part of the $4,000 to pay three months
rent for a friend who wasn't working.
DISTRIBUTION A PUZZLE.
Just how. when and where the $4,000
viii be distributed nobody seemed to
know today. In the meantime offices OF
different charity agencies are being food
ed with applicants, Yesterday a man
from Connecticut made an urgent appeal
for cash. The appeal was made at one
OF the branches OF the Emergency Aid
Committee.
II is probable that the Executive Com
mittee Of the Emergency Aid Committee.
which has been designated to distribute
the money. viii hold a meeting either To-
day or tomorrow TO outline plans Since
four agencies have declined TO help, ef-
forts will be made to get other organlza-
tions to assist.
OF the 100 applicants who have asked
for ai6 at the headquarters OF the
Emergency Aid Committee, according TO
Mayor Blankenburg's statement COO are
already receiving aid from charitable
agencies. Mayor Blankenburg has con-
tended that the ordinance was unwise.
Secretaries Of agencies said today that
there was danger Of politics" becoming
involved in the movement. Letters bear

SUNDAYS SERMON
ON "WAY TO HEAVEN"
WINS 400 PERSONS
Men and Women of All
Classes in Glory Row
After Thrilling Service at
Des Moines.

DIES MONIES. la. Dec. s.-Evangerist
Billy Sunday pointed out the road TO
Heaven last night to 40 persons who
hit the sawdust trail" 1t was one Of
the greatest meetings the evangelist has
held since his coming to Des Moines. Ills
sermon was on the subject OF Heaven
and How to Get There" Tonight he will
preach on Hell and How to Get There '
The Commute after-service was the
most thrilling the people here have heard.
An audience that completely packed the
tabernacle cheered and applauded as 200
high school students found their way to
glory row." Each trail hitter was ap-
plauded, while the evangelist beamed as
he has not done before during the local
meetings. 1t was cosmopolitan crowd
that found seats on glory row." pro-
fessional and business men. laborers and
students, women OF leisure. office girls,
clerks. Mattresses and factory workers.
sunday told them he was mighty proud
OF them ALL"
During the early part of the services
a man became overenthuslastic and
leaped to his feet.
I'm for you, Bnl!" he cried.
'If 1 get to heaven before Nell Chis
wife) and the children" Sunday said
early in his sermon. "I think I'll walk up
and shake hands with Jesus and say,
Lord, II it's all the same, I'd just like to
hang around the gate and walt for my
loved ones down there on earth. and. he
continued, I'm sure Jesus viii say Sure,
Bill. sit right down."
Then he Topped into a chair. buried his
face in his hands and showed his audi
ence just how he will keep hiS vigil by
tie gateway OF heaven until Nell and
the children" shall have winged their way
through the entrance.
And IL Nell and the children get there
first, I'm sure they will wait at the gate
for me. She'll ask me how things were
when 1 left. IN say, oh. drilling along
the same as usual, everybody going to
hell so fast YOU can't see them for the
dust; and when 1 ask where my mansion
is the Lord will say, Right over there

asking aid for ward heelers were looked
for.
Since the Emergency Aid Committee Is
composed ~ women who have had no eX-
perience In unraveling political trlckery,
II was pointed ont today by a prominent
charity worker that Ii would he easy to
deceive tho members Of that organization
should ward heelers make attempts to do
so. All that would be necessary would he
for ward politician to send his applicant
to some reputable merchant or resident in
the neighborhood where he lives and have
him write a letter of recommendation.
"oNLY 5000 IDLE IN CITY"
r. NJ. Little, of the Society for Organic
ing Charity. which has refused TO par
ticipate in the movement launched by
Connolly and supported by his political
henchmen, said today:
1--WE shall have nothing to do with the
distribution of the money granted by
Councils. There is no question I'm my
mind but what 'he prominent ladies OF
the Emergency Aid Committee mean to
do we'll AS for the unemployed in this
CITY, ] believe that If police canvass waa
made II world be found that there arc
not more than 25.OOO dle bread winners in
this city"
The other charity agencies which have
refused to aid in the distribution OF the
money granted by Councils are the United
Hebrew Charities, the Union Benevolent
Society and the Home Missionary Society.
A meeting of 36 representatives OF lead
ing charity agencies from 16 cities was
held in New York last October. At that
conference the idea Of councilmanic
bodies granting appropriations was dis
cussed. 1t was decided that it was a bad
policy.

as owners OF the lake lines, have al
ready increased freight rates.
The prevailing rates on bituminous
| coal and coke" the Commission said. ARE
renumerative, and tho financial condition
OF the principal bituminous coal carriers
, is in marked contrast with that OF many
OF the other carriers.
Twice in the not distant past the
rates on bitumInous coal have been in
creased cents n ton and would seem
now to be as high as may fairly be
allowed"
Increases on anthracite coal and iron
were denied largely because they are
before us for review in other proceed
ings." the commission said.
Interstate rates to and from New
England from and TO points in trunk line
or Central Freight Association, territory,
where necessary to preserve established
relationships between points or ports in
New England and between points or
ports in New England and points or
ports in trunk line territory, may be
Increased not to exceed 5 per cent" the
decision says,
Subject to the maintenance Of the es-
tablished Atlantic port differences rates
to and from New York may be increased
not to exceed 5 per cent, and the rates
TO and from Portland, Boston, Phlla-
delphia and Baltimore may be increased
to the extent necessary to maintain said
differentials;'
WHY MR.. CLEMENTS DIssENTs.
In dissenting, Commissioner Clements
said he regarded the action OF the COM
mission "as out Of harmony with the
spirit and purpose OF the law and as
taking step that leads away from the
sound principles necessary TO conserve
the ends OF Justice. Carriers have right
to earn all they can ON the business
which they can secure at just and rea-
sonable rates. The right of the shipper to
protection against the exaction of rates
unreasonably high for the service per-
formed Is equally sacred
II am not aware" said Mr. Clements
'of amy prior case In which this COM
mission or any court has held that the
need by carrier of money was of Itself
proof OF the reasonableness of a specific
rate. or body of rates, Increased to meet
such need. II the legislative authority
of the commission is as broad and unre-
stricted as this, then / must confess that
nave Bravely misunderstood the limita-
tions upon our statutory authority as
well as the constitutional power of Con-
gress to delegate it's constitutional power.
1T appears evident that carriers are
suffering more just now for want Of
freight to carry than for want of higher
rates. 1t Is just as safe to phophesy that
this is a temporary condition as to proph-
esy concerning future rates of interest
and the dumping of foreign-held Amerl-
can railway securities on our investment
markets"
The railroads are ordered to post new
tariffs putting the increase into effect
after ten days notice.

COMMUTERS RENEW
FIGHT FOLLOWING
FREIGHT VERDICT
Urge State Commission to
Grant Rehearing on
Ground Argument of Rail
roads is Now Groundless.

The decision OF the Interstate CommercC
Commission granting the railroads in the
East per cent. increase in freight
rates, commuters declare. should result In
n prompt reopening Of the entire pas.
senger rate increase case before both the
Interstate and the Pennsylvania Public
Service Commissions on the ground the
Increased passenger revenue is now moi
needed by the railroad companies.
Edwin NJ. Abbott. attorney for com.
muters, pointed out that the railroads
originally asked for n passenger increase
at the suggestion OF the Interstate Com
meice Commission, when the plea for .
freight increase was first denied, The
subsequent granting Of this latter plea OF
the railroads, Mr.. Abbott declared, de-
stroyed the basis of the railroads claim
for passenger increases.
Early in the passenger rate fight 1t
was openly charged by commuters that
the railroads were using this as a club
to force through the freight increase.
The intimate relation OF the two requests
of the railroads was further established
during the preliminary hearing on the
passenger case here last month, when
sx-Governor Samuel w. Pennypaclser
asked attorneys representing the railroads
n they would postpone the proposed in
crease until the board at Washington had
passed finally upon the freight increase.
A complaint was filed with the Penn
aylvania Public Service Commission to-
day charging that the three railroads en-
tering Philadelphia had failed to comply
with clause in the recent decision OF the
Commission in the passage rate case, in
which the railroads were ordered to file,
post and publish schedules of the new
rates in time to give the public one days
notice of the change.
MIR. Abbott said an investigation along
the main lines of the three railroads had
brought to light the fact that the rail-
roads had disregarded the order of the
commission.
Despite the probability of the Commits
aion granting a new hearing. Mr.. Abbott
declared the commuters did not intend
to stop their agition for the removal of
the Commission on the charge of mis-
conduct in office"
