L. Thomas TO Councils this afternoon,
II entreat you In the name OF mercy

like God-fearing men who stand charged
with grave responsibilities" said Mrs.

the city government"
Mrs. Thomas said there was riot at

part. She said that unless some definite

words addressed by her to the Mayor

you who are in authority must now
meet demands Of thousands who have
n right TO draw regular wages through
and out Of the t7,0O0,000 found you are
rustlng out in the City Treasury. II you
fail to meet this crisis you may have
$4,000 unemployed TO meet in company

THIEVES GET VALUABLE
LOOT IN TWO FUR STORES
Police Believe Organized Band Is
Operating in Central Section.

The robbery OF two fur stores In the
central section of the city has led the
police TO believe an organized gang OF
fur thieves is operating in Philadelphia
The stores robbed were those OF the Quail
ity Fur Shop, 2O5 South 18th street, and
Julius Feldstein! I'LL South 7th street
Detectives have been unable to come up
with the burglars.
Furs valued at 5000 were taken from
the show window OF the Quality Fur
Shop Entrance was gained 10 the Field
stein establishment by forcing a front
door. Furs valued Il 1885 were stolen.
Several other articles In the place were
scattered about the floor.
A brick hurled through with such force
that II rolled to the rear of the store,
smashed hole two feet In diameter in
the window. The thieves made their
haul In the half hour between the pas
sage OF q street sergeant at 4 o'clock
and a watehman's inspection at l:s0
Around the corner, and in the same
building with the fur store, is the
Jewelry shop OF Maxwell & Berlet. The
watchman who was inside the jewelry
store knew nothing OF the robbery until
he walked outside to try the door OF the
fur shop and saw the broken window.
A year ago thieves robbed the Maxwell
4 Berlet window IN exactly the same
way. Jewelry valued at $500 was taken
through hole broken by a brick. Phs
thieves left no clue.

Costello Plan Denounced.
East Germantown Asso-
citation H olds Transit
Meeting Tonight.

KndUfsenents Of Director Taylor's high
apeedtrahsit plans are being made might
" hy business mems associations In all
sections OF Philadelphia.
up. 70 the present time nearly hun
dred organizations have condemned the
Costello snd-speed ordinance In most en-
phatio terms They expressed doubt as to
its authors sincerity, nrst. because the
bill only tended TO compllcate matters
and, secondly, because Congressman elect
Costello, while announcing that he was
in harmony with Director Taylor, intro
duced his bill without the latter's knowl-
edge.
West Philadelphia regards the Frank
ford Councilman's plan as an obstacle.
The t0th and Market Streets Business
Mems Association, at q meeting last
night, condemned the Costello plan em-
phatically, and. on motion OF several
members, II was decided to ask the Coun-
cilmen OF the West Philadelphia wards
where they stood on the question.
Director TRylor'e plan was indorsed be-
cause II provided convenience for resi-
dents OF every section Of the city and
free transfers which will enable every
rider TO save money. It was very evil
dent from the spirit OF those who at
tended the meeting that the Councilmen
who do not really represent their con-
stituents win be dealt with accordingly,
Regardless OF politics.
Anti-costello meetings still continue in
all pafts of the city. Tonight the East
Germantown Improvement Association
VIII discuss the transit situation at a
maSs-rfieetlng in odd Fellows Auditorium,
East Cheten avenue and OgontS avenue.
As all other sections of Germantown have
gone on record to support Director Taylor.
there is little doubt that the meeting to-
night will follow the pace for progress.
Mr. Taylor will be present and outline
the plans for the proposed hlgh-speed
system
The 18th Street Station Improvement
Association viii hold transit mass-meet-
Ing tomorrow night, at which Mr.. Taylor
will also speak. On Monday night the
Oak Lane Park Improvement AsBocia-
ton will hold a transit meeting at the
Manufacturers Club. Broad and Walnut
streets, which will also be addressed by
the Director. Transit mass-meetings Will
also be held every night next week.

$4,000 ITEM FOR RELIEF
WORK WOULD AID STARVING
Councils Today Will Act on Measure
Providing Quick Help.

Pathetic appeals for assistance are
pouring into the home relief headuuar-
ters OF the Emergency Aid Committee
from the tenement districts. where the
cold weather is causing untold suffering
among women and children and the ranks
OF the unemployed. More money must
be had at the headquarters before these
appeals can be answered, as the home

cumstances.
Today the ordinance appropriating
$4,000 for relief work In Philadelphia will
come before the Councils. This is the
last hope of the women who have been
carrying as much hope and cheer into
the dingy tenements as inadequate funds
will permit.
II the ordinance is passed and signed
by the Mayor. this sum OF money will
be available for use and. with private
contributions. viii tide over the cold
weather. Unless the money Is Rppro-
priated, hundreds OF families win face
starvation at our own back doors.
Several letters have been received from
persons who last year. before the war
and other causes closed factories and
threw hundreds Of persons out or em-
ployment, were not In want.
Contributions at the committees head
quarters In the Lincoln Building have
been few. Occasionally persons drop in
with bundles OF clothing and others with
offerings OF money. The call from the
home relief department is urgent now.
The foreign departments of the Emer-
gency Aid Committee. which are caring
for the French, German and Belgian
noncomhatants. are faring little better.
Only tri1ing contributions were received
yesterday at the general headquarters,
