officials of Company, However, Refuse
to Discuss Report

Officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad
would not say today II the railroad will
enter Detroit. From time TO time in the
last several years II has been reported
that the road would invade the Western
city but nothing has ever been done defin-
itely. Difficulties are said to have been
met in finding a location for a terminal
in that city and also a satisfactory en-
trance to it. Although II has never been
learned II the Pennsylvania wanted TO
go into the city, the road probably would
do so II the conditions were favorable.
Dispatches received from the Western
city said that w. w. Atterbury, vice pres
ident of the company. is working ON plans
for starting the work. Mr. Atterbury,
however, is In Philadelphia and was at his
office in Broad Street Station this morn
ing. The Detroit dispatches said that the
cost to the Pennsylvania in carrying out
the plans would be approximately s2O 900 900
and that the road would use the tracks
OF the Pere Marquette Railroad. which
now is In the hands OF a receiver. This
road could be used as the connecting link
between Toledo. Detroit and the East.

HENRY BARTH, R.,
SEEN LAST NIGHT
Police Informed Missing Boy
Was at Thirty-third and
Arch Streets

Fifteen-year-ol Henry Barth Jr, who
has been missing two weeks from his
home, at 1865 Beidy avenue, West Phila-
delphia, was seen last night in the neigh
bOrhood of 33d and Arch streets Infor-
nation to this effect was received today
by the police of the 39th and Lancaster
avenue station, who have been searching
for the boy.
Mrs. Henry Barth, Sr.. declared today
that 1t was a great relief to her to
learn that no harm had come to her
son. It was feared that he had fallen
into the hands of a band of crooks who
were teaching him their trade. or that he
had meet with actual bodily harm.
Mrs Barth believes her son is hiding
in order that he may not be punished
and fears to return home One of his
playmates saw him last night and told
the police. There are a number of va
want houses in the neighborhood and il
is believed that he is living in one of
them and begging his meals from house
holders in the vicinity The police are
making a search of the neighborhoo6
today in the hope of finding the boy and
taking him home to his mother.
'I am so sorry" said Mrs. Barth to-
day, ito think that my boy left such a
good home to be such a tramp as to live
by begging his food"
She said she will try to forgive her
son Il he returns home. Mrs. Barth
learned this morning from one of her
friends that Henry has asked for food
Tuesday night. The persons whom he
asked did not know at that time that
he had disappeared from home, and made
no mention of the matter.

HINTED THAT TOSCANINI
MAY REMAIN In ITALY
Conductor for Metropolitan
Opera Company Said to
Be Dissatisfied

There are hints from New York that
Arturo Toscanni, the conductor who has
gathered laurels for his Interpretation of
German Italian and French operas while
conducting performances in New York
and Philadelphia for the New York Met
ropolitan Opera Company, is going to
leave the great musical organization
which has been virtually under his di-
rection since the time Herr Conried left
it several years ago.
The gossip goes on that Signor Tos-
canini is to remain in Italy instead OF
coming to America for the opening of
the next season. for reasons which at this
time are merely conJectural. 1t is said
that he is both tired and dissatisfied with
the way artistic affairs of the Metropoli-
tan have been allowed to go lately. and
therefore he has chosen to forego his
$4,000 or more salary for the sake Of his
artistic souls peace. In fact, he has not
signed the renewal of his contract with
the Metropolitan, though it expired last
April. The Milan Corriere della Sera,
whose statements can be considered as
responsible and reliable. declared re-
Gently that Toscanini is to remain at
home
There already is in New York much
gossip about Toscaninis refusal to sign
the new contract, and the Metropolitan
boXholders are urging the directors to
use all their influence to bring back to
America the one conductor who has risen
above mediocrity and who is thought by
many to be without peer. 1t is said that
he has never been asked to conduct the
Wagner's "Ring Cycle" though he had
established his fame here with the vivid
Interpretation of the Meistersingers and
Tristan und Isolde. 1t is limited In the
American encourage of the conductor that
the Ring Cycle may offer the way to win
Toscanini back to the Metropolitan and
to his New York and Philadelphia ad-
mirers.

CITY DIVORCE ROLL DOUBLED
Six Months Record Increased From
300 to 617-Ascribed to Change
in the Law

During the first six months of this year
GIT divorces were granted in Philadelphia,
as against 300 for the same period In
1914 which sets a new high record in
the city's divorce history.
The increase, according to lawyers who
handle considerable divorce cases, is due
to the recent revision of the divorce laws.
which make IL much easier for unhappy
pairs to sever their marital relations.
They deny that marital unfaithfulness is
on the increase. saying that the new law
prevents In many instances an injustice
being done through evasion of formal
service by the defendant.
Formerly a person entering suit was
not permitted to present all evidence un-
til papers had been formally served on
the defendant, while the new law al
lows testimony TO be presented after the
defendant has been served by publica-
ton.
