JITNEYs POPULAR IN CAMDEN
Slight Setback Caused When Halted
for State License.

The introduction of jitney busses-three
of them-met with so much popularity in
Camden today that jealous taNicab driv
ers for time threatened the new en-
terprise an hour after the first machines
had safely delivered their first loads of
passengers. The taxi Chauffeurs notified
State Automobile inspector Kraft that the
cars were being operated on manufac-
turers' license and bore no State tag.
When Inspector Kraft discovered this he
ordered the use of the cars discontinued,
but they were back on their routes after
about an hours delay with the required
license.
Charles w. Austermaul, owner of the
machines, says II they are successful he
will nut on additional cars Immediately
and that he may add busses to carry
suburbanites to and from nearby towns.
The jtneys hold four passengers each
and were crowded on their initial trips.
The routes are from the Pennsylvania
Railroad ferries up Federal street to
Broadway and thence to kaighn avenue;
from the ferries up Federal street 10
Haddon avenue and to kaighn, and from
the ferries up Market street 10 10th to
state. The time for the round trip is
Is minutes. Trolley cars make the round
trip i'm double that time Taxicab fares
for the routes covered by the jitneys are
from 70 cents to ST.
The inscription, rs cent jitney' and
description of the route Is painted on the
Windshield of each car.

SUFFRAGIST ATTACKS
SENATOR M'NTCHOL
Miss Mary H. Ingham Tells
Sunny Jim" Just Why Wo-

Miss Mary II tnghnm. vice president
Of the Equal Franchise Society has is
sued Il statement in reply to Senator Nc
Nichols attack on woman suffrage in
which she charges the Republican Organl-
cation leader with inconsistency and says
that the methods employed by him and
his colica guCs make woman suffrage not
only a just idea. but n great necessity.
The perncous housing bill just passed
by the legislature" she said. lis an eX-
ample Of the evils which have caused
women to rise In defense of the home,
which Senator MCNiChol SAYS they would
break up.
at the very time that Senator Nc
Nichol Is opposing woman suffrage" she
said, "he is pushing through the Legis-
lature with all his power a housing bill
which destroys the present opportunities
for the tenants In small houses to obtain
proper protection, sanitation and a clean
water supply The bill also renders It
unsafe to live in tenements, because II
takes away the provisions for frees
capes
TT Is questions Of this kind and stu
ations created by political Corruptonists
elected to the Legislature that have
brought women to the realization OF the
fact that they must have political power
to protect not only their own homes. but
those of the women who have no direct
influence through organization or social
position.
THE action Of 40 members Of the
House who voted for this destructive bill,
as we'll as the Philadelphia Senators, not
one of whom opposed 1t. seems to the
public spirited women Of Philadelphia to
he an act of treaChery. They feel that
Ignorance is no excuse. II is the duty
OF Legislators to know that no other
city would submit to a destruction of the
power of the Board of Health and the
putting of the health regulations OF the
city in the hands of Select Council.
THAT this bill was passed purely and
simply to protect the members of City
Councils from the consequence of their
disobedicnce to the law is perfectly evil
dent Women are looking forward to the
possibility OF voting in 1916 and are
watching the record of the Legislature
on topics which are vital to the life of
the people"

U. OF P. MAN SPURNS
PHI BETA KAPPA
Student Refuses Membership
in Society, Considering 1t
Undemocratic.

A precedent Of more than century
and a quarter was broken by Edwin
BENJAMIN Coward a junior at the Uni
verslty OF Pennsylvania, when he re
fused an invitation to Join the Phi Beta
Kappa Society. the oldest Greek letter
fraternity and the most exclusive
honorary organization in the college
world. He Is the first man to decline the
honor. according to Prof George n,
Hadzsits, secretary-treasurer of the Delta
Chapter of the University and his action
has caused much gossip on the campus.
Coward who was to have been Initiated
al the annual banquet last Wednesday
night, declined membership in the body
because he considers such membership
III the fraternity as creating a distinction
among students that is not iustifable
and as exerting a harmful influence on
democracy in college life. other mem
bers OF his class deserve the same dis
tlnction, he said.
The honor on which he turned his back
mas been the prize coveted by all college
men since the fraternity was founded
az William and Mary College in i776.
Among the many distinguished members
are President Wilson, william Howard
Tart and Theodore Roosevelt The mem
mershp In Philadelphia numbers more
than 1000, and it includes names which
accomplishment. Prof Horace c. Rich
ards Is president of the Pennsylvania
chapter, and Prof Z. A. Singer is vice
president.
Coward who is % years old. and lives
AZ 1916 North Marshall street, did not
make his decision hastily or without
struggle. He wrested with the problem
for many days after he received notihca-
tion of his election, and went to several
or MS professors for advice. They told
him he would make mistake IL he de-
clined the honor, but the principle which
was uppermost in his mind, that of edu-
Cational democracy, compelled him to
adopt the course which he did. Although
some students at the University criticise
MN Tor his action. the ma ajorlty feel that
he acted in accordance with his ideal.
The young student. who was graduated
from the Central High School with honors
four years ago, has been at the top OF his
class since he entered the University.
HIS professors describe him as brilliant
student and thinker along original and
independent lines. His personal qualities,
as well as tho required excellence of
scholarship. promise of creative ability
and breadth and culture of studies pur-
sued" We're important factors in his
election.

night were chosen in two "leves" during

Observatory Clocks Go Wrong

Many people on arriving in their down
town offices this morning thought they
had arrived before the usual hour when
they looked at the grim office clock. That
is. those did who looked at clocks regu-
lated by electricity from the United
States Observatory at Washington, for
these had either stopped or were running
far behind time.
The clocks are regulated through the
Western Union telegraph service, and as
soon as the trouble was discovered the
company put n score of men out to dis
cover the point at which the electricity
was leaking. 1t is said that water, pos
sibly used to oXtnEush a fire in the
central section of the city. was responsible
for the difficulty.
