known by scows' crews on the river. and
the search extended even out to sea.
But the Baltimore knew more than one
trick.
She turned submarine about half
mile from the Cornwells pier that had
been her home and went down to the
mud at the bottom of the Delaware In
the meantime officials of the ship COM

OUTLOOK NOT BRIGHT
FOR SIX-CENT FARE
DELAYS Prevent Councilmanic
Action Before Fall and p.
R. T. in No Hurry

There is no immediate prospect of
a six-Cent trolley fare in this city. De-
lays have occurred which will prevent
any Councilmanic action until fall Ac-
ton ~. the Public Service Commission
will probably require a much longer
time. in the event of Councils approving
any change in fare rates.
Officials of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company have been in no hurry
t. submit arguments either to Mayor
Smith or to Director Twining of the
Department of Transit. In the absence
% this compilation of figures very little,
II any, consideration is being given the
fare increase question by city officials.
Charles Seger head of Councils Street

to get the committee together to arrange
70. a series of public meetings. Coun.
chs, within a month, will have adjourned
for summer recess with the first fal
session scheduled for the first Thursday
in Septemher. 1t is doubtful If the com
ruttee will have any report ready by
tat time
In the event of any move being made
to- expedite matters some of the Com
mittee meetings may he held during the
summer such move would be against
precedent and is considered unlikely by
members who dislike very much giving
vacation time to consideration of long
drawn out arguments on plan, the need
for which is so generally questioned
Had the plan met the approval of ad-
ministration officials committee activity
would have been started before now and
