Schafer Objects to
Injunction Surrender
in Phone Rate Case

Final proceedings in Pennsyl-
vania's fight against the Govern
ment's control of Interstate tele-
phone rates were started in Dau-
phin county court this afternoon,
when John L. SwayZe, attorney for
the Bell Telephone Company of
Pennsylvania, asked that a decree be
issued dissolving the injunction
procured by the Attorney General of
Pennsylvania against the increased
rates asked by Postmaster General
Burleson. President Judge Kunkel
presided.
Attorney General Schaffer opposed
the dissolution of the decree. He de-
clared that the decision of the
United States Supreme Court is no
longer applicable. The more recent
order of Postmaster General Burle-
son returning the properties to their
owners, with the exception of the
power to control rates, presents con-
ditions under which the ruling no
longer appliase, he maintained.
Attorney Swayze, however, took
the opposite stand. He said that the
mere retention by Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson of the right to control
rates renders the Supreme Court rul-
ing applicable.
No comment was made by Judge
Kunkel and decision was reserved.

1t was purely technical subject we
were able to give the information and
again proved the worth of our refer
ence department"
Miss Eaton was talking to the trustees
of the library at their regular session
last night and the board was more than
pleased to learn of the enlarging use
fulness of the institution through its
various activities.
Miss Aincy Resigns
Miss Eaton was talking to the trustees
gret the resignation of Miss Ainey, her
capable assistant in charge of the re-
ference library, who has accepted an
Conn. library.
A committee comprising A. c. Stamm,
A. d. Bacon and Il. J. Stackpole was
appointed to consider the raising of a
special fund to further develop the
branch libraries in the school buildings
of the city. Miss Eaton reported great
success in this department of the work
and gave many facts proving the value
of the movement. Hundreds of volumes
are placed in the hands of school chill
dren all over the city through this
circulating system and in one year more
than 10000 books were given out in
this way. Only about fifty per cent of
them were fiction, the other half being
more solid works on art, history, bio
graphy and technical subjects.
1t is estimated about $4,000 will be
required to provide further school IL
brary facilities and 1t is the hope OF
the trustees that the public will come
to the help of the institution in the
| raising of this fund. More than 5000
! school children regularly patronize the
library and appreciate its opportunities
and advantages.
Reference questions are submitted or
every conceivable subject and after
| careful research courteous answers are
given all these inquirers. The other
day a dispute arose in the lobby of the
Penn-Harris Hotel and a hurried phone
message to the Public Library got an
immediate and satisfactory response
| which evoked much favorable comment
at the big hotel.
1t is hoped through the circulating
school library plan under the super.
vision of Miss Eaton and her force the
civic center idea will be given greater
| impetus and the school buildings be
more generally utilized by the people
| Through these branch libraries 1t will
! be possible to supply the communities
surrounding the school buildings. AL
this may mean eventually school Ii.
brarian to direct the work as an addi-
tional member of the library staff
Children must be taught not only whal
to read but how to read and that is the
| effort OF Miss Eaton and her assistants
| Fortunately the school teachers ant

SAFETY ZONES
AREPROVIDED
ABOUT FIRES
New Regulations to Supplant
Those Drawn When De-
partment Used Horses

Rules for the city fire department
regulating the speed OF apparatus
answering alarms and returning
from fires, providing for safety COM
mittees at fires, complete control and
management of apparatus and fire
houses, use of telephones and similar
orders were submitted to-day to City
Council for approval by Commits
sioner E. Y. Cross.
According to Commissioner Gross
1t is essential that the new rules
should be approved as the ones un-
der which the department is now
controlled were framed at time
when all the apparatus was horse
drawn and the present organization
was not developed. The use of mo-
tor driven equipment in every COM
parry has largely necessitated the
change in the rules, many of which
are made much more stringent.
Safety Zones Provided
One of the proposed rules pro-
vides that rope should be taken to
each fire to be used in esta blishing a
safety zone. Each company is to
appoint five members to act on the
safety committee and to assist the
police in harding crowds and safe
guarding against accident.
Unless absolutely necessary when
responding to an alarm sirens and
| bells are not to be sounded when
passing churches. schools and hos
pitals. The speed limit in respond
| ing to calls is fixed at "a miles an
hour, returning from them. at Is
miles an hour. In returning to the
houses all traffic regulations of the
city must be observed.
Storage Not Permitted
Storage of any automobile or
| truck not owned by the city is not
| to be permitted in any firehouse
Any driver or employe under the in
| fiuence of liquor is to be dismissed al
once.
Telephones in the enginehouses
are to be answered only by drivers OIL
chauffeurs. No long distance calls
| may be made and no long conversa-
tions or unnecessary calls into fire.
| houses will be permitted.

Daring Auto Thief Lives

winds in fashionable hotels on the
$4,000 to $4,000 a week he acquired
through the daring theft of automo-
biles in London. He finally came to
grief, however, and has been SEN
fenced to three years Imprisonment.
Meredith has a thorough driving
knowledge of cars and this, with his
appearance, was his stock in trade.
He climbed into a big car standing
in front of a club or hotel and drove
away, and he confined himself large
ly to this method. He confessed, the
police say, to stealing thirty machines
in the four months he operated.
