LITTLE IMPROVEMENT
Only Navy Yard and Frank

tinued unsatisfactory today. although

bring the service back to normal and
would succeed In doing 20 before the
hearings by the state Public Service
Commission at Harrisburg on the COM
plants filed by the city and many
business mems and Improvement asso-
Citations.
Fifty of its $50 broken-down cars
have been repaired and put back into
service. according TO the company. and
the other 200 will be repaired as soon
as the repair materials. which Rear
Admiral Peoples promised the navy
would obtain for them. are on hand.
Today the service to and from the
navy yard and to and from the Frank
ford Arsenal was satisfactory. The COM
ranv evidently is determined to give no
further cause for COMPLAINT to the 5000
navy yard workers and the 5000 arsenal
workers, who have the United States
Government to help them if they want
to- fight for better service. The COM
pany's evident intention is to maintain
virtually perfect service on these lines,
even If 1t Is necessary to strip other
lines in order to do so.
Thought somewhat improved. the serv-
Ice today on other than navy yard and
arsenal lines was far below normal

BRUMBAUGH in FAVOR
OF SPECIAL SESSION
Governor Wishes State Legis-
lature on Record as to Dry
Amendment"

For several days the proposal of a
special session of the Legislature for the
consideration of the prohibition amend
ment and to take up the passage of a
bill rearranging the congressional. SEN
atOrial and representative districts OF
Pennsylvania has been talked of in var
ious parts of the state Now the an
nouncement comes from Harrisburg that
Governor Brumbaugh favors the special
session because he fears the prohibition
amendment will be adopted before Penn
sylvania has acted on It.
When the question of the special scs-
sion was first brought to the attention
Of Philadelphia politicians. leaders of
both the Penrose and Ware factions were
questioned and none of them favored Il
on the ground that the people of Tie
state should not be burdened with extra
expense in war time. II was estimated
that the cost Of a special session would
be at least 100000. 1t was reported
today from Harrisburg that Governor
Brumbaugh would consider this ,xpcn-
diture moro than justified If he pro-
hbition amendment could be passed at
the special session.
Word comes from st. Lucie. Fla, where
Governor Brumbaugh Is spending a brief
vacation, that he las been reading the
Pennypacker autobiography, which is ap.
pearing daily in the EvENING PUBIC
IEpGfr, with keen interest during the
last few days, owing to the fact that
Governor Pennypacker's recent INSTALL
ments have dealt with the difficulties
encountered by him when he called a
special session of the Legislature. The
Governor is said to be particularly in
terested IN Pennypa acker's account of lis
troubles with politicians in connection
with the extra session.
