MORE TRANSIT TALK,
BUT ACTION IS TIED UP
Service Board Discusses City's
Plea "Unofficially" Because
Magee Is Absent
BIZ \ Stdd Correspondent
HARRISBURG ,


The application of the city Of Philadel-
phia for authority to proceed Immediately
with the construction Of the various lines
Of the high-speed subway and elevated
system will be taken up for consideration
by the Public Service Commission, meet
ing here today In executive session No
action. however, will be taken on account
of the absence OF Commissioner Magee
The informal consideration today by the
service board of Philadelphia's plea Tor
prompt action and the advancing OF the
date OF the hearing on the application for
certificates of public convenience for the
Chestnut street subway from August
TO July 10 are the only two tangible results
of the visit here yesterday OF Mayor Smith
and Transit Director Twining
The Mayor before leaving for Philadel-
pha last night expressed satisfaction, how
ever over the results OF this trip and said
he would be greatly disappointed IL the
comm ission had not granted the long
delayed certificates before the end of this
month.
The applications for certificates Of public
convenience for the Broad Street Subway,
the Subway Delivery Loop, the Parkway
Northwest Subway Elevated and the
Thlrty-ifth Ward Surface Line have been
before the commission since Decemger,
1916. The Darby IL" application was filed
February /.
As a result Of the commissions delay,
ing held up, and although bids have been
opened the contracts cannot be formally
awarded until the necessary authority is
given the city.
The executive session today is next to
the last now scheduled to be held before
the commission takes its summer recess,
The final session will be on Tuesday OF
next week and 1t is on this date that the
board is expected to take some definite
action.
II was pointed out to Chairman Ainey
today that the public hearing on the Chest
nut Street Subway would follow the final
executive session. and the inference was
drawn that no action could be expected upon
this line until next fall, Mr.. Ainey, al
though he would make no prediction as to
what might be done said mat II conditions
warranted the commission could go into
executive session TO take action any time
II was Commissioner Magee, who, early
this year. led the group of three commits
sloners in opposition to granting the city's
request for authority TO proceed with the
work on the ground that the conditions
under which the lines were to be leased
should be determined before the construc-
tion program was definitely launched, BY
deferrng action until the Legislature tool
up the Mayors transit bills Mr.. Magee dead
locked the service board

as Asked by Counsel for
Defendants

NEW YORK, July 3.--Judge Mayer to-
day overruled the motion to dismiss in
dictments against members OF the so-called
soft coal trust, now on trial in Federal
court. The motion may be renewed later
II there is evidence TO show that the men
indicted are not guilty, he ruled.
The defense then opened its case. Attor-
ney John b. Stanchheld prefaced the taking
OF evidence by stating TO the jury that
there had been no illegal combination In
restraint Of coal trade within the meaning
OF the Sherman antitrust law.
"Prices of all sorts have been advancing
in the last few years" said Stanchfele,
and coal prices were the last to 20 up.

PROTECTION
TO DEPOSITORS

Senate Bill No. 217. passed by
the recent state Legislature, 1s-s de-
serving Of mention on account of
the additional security given to de-
pOsitOrs in state banks.
The law provides for the creation
of guaranty fund by assessment
against the state banks and when
any bank doing business under the
provisions Of the act suspends or be-
comes insolvent, the state examiner
shall examine and determine the
amount due to the depositors Of the
insolvent bank, and shall so certify
to the guaranty fund commission
and the treasurer shall thereupon
draw against the guaranty fund in
the amount thus certified and shall
Immediately transmit to such de-
positors the amounts due them.
The loss through bank failure in
this state has been very light, but
the legislature evidently felt that
even these should be lessened and
seem to have provided the means
by which the chances of such losses
to depositors in state banks are en-
tirely eliminated.

MAN JUMPS FROM
: FAST MOVING TRAIN

Mandan, N. D., July 5.-Daniel
P. Zenevicz Of Carnegie, Pa, Rus
,sian who en- route to Vladivostok
thrice leaped from a Northern Pa
>ciflc passenger train, finally eluding
his escort, Officer Mcdowell of
Jamestown, by scuttling through an
open window in the smoking car OF
the speeding North Coast Limited
ekevicz had proceeded as far as
jamestown unaccompanied and
without incident. As his train was
nearing Jamestown station, without
warning, he dived through win
dow of his coach. The train was
stopped, and the Russian, badly
battered, was picked up and car
ried into Jamestown, where two
days were devoted to repairs. A
hearing revealed no traces of in
sanity, but Jamestown officer was
detailed to accompany Zenekevicz
to Seattle and see him safely on his
boat.
The Russians passports and pa
pers were made out in proper form;
he seemed to be a man of means,
and no good reason can be assigned
for his queer conduct. He mOmen-
tarily eluded his escort at Bismarck
and was about to dart from the car
when an incoming flood Of passen-
gers stopped him. He halted and
stood at bay with all the appear
ancr OF man in mortal terror. Of
ficers fear that Zenkevicz In leap
ing from No. 1 at Sunnyside may
have sustained injuries that proved
fatal, but a careful search of the
brush for many rods surrounding
the point where he took the leap
has failed to reveal any trace Of
him.
