LAUNCHING AT GLOUCESTER
Cargo Carrier Daniel Webster Will
Make SIdewise Plunge

The IL, 800 ton cargo carrier, Daniel
Webster, will be launched sidewise at
the Pusey & Jones shipyard, Gloucester
City. today in the presence of a small
gathering of employees and invited
guests.
The launching will be a quiet affair,
as it will take place after the day force
has quit work for the day. The spon-
sor will be Mrs. Joseph s. Stull, wife
of Joseph s. Stull, assistant general
manager of the plant.
The ship is 400 feet inches in length
and has n beam of sixty feet and depth
of 36 feet inches. 1t will make about
eleven knots per hour and is more than
so per cent finished The power equip
ment includes three water tube boilers
and set of Curtiss turbines.
There are only two other ships on the
ways at the Pusey & Jones yard, and
they will be ready for launching within
a month. No additional keels have beer
laid, and the working force is being
steadily reduced and it would not be Il
surprise to the employees if within q
month the plant is closed down. The
plate and angle shop closed down today
The working force is about 1900, while
during the war it was 1000
The shipping board is still in contro
of the plant and will not allow any new
work to be started. There is enough
material fabricated, according to the
workmcn. to build five ships and enough
other raw material on the ground tc
build three others.

GIRL SUICIDES STORY
REMAINS A MYSTERY
Young Woman Who Ended Life
in Boarding House Had
4 No Friends

Nothing could be learned today about
the history of Miss Jessie Ward
twenty five years old, who ended her
life with gas at a boarding house at
Tenth and Spruce streets after saying
she was ''disgusted with life. ;" The
young woman's history that is known
covers only two weeks before her death
and begins when she went to the house
to board with Mrs. ]. Downs.
She did not seem to have any friends
in the city and spent much of her
time in her room on the third floor.
While she did not talk of her family
or of her former place of abode, she
often told Mrs. Downs that she was
weary of life.
Mrs. Downs thought it was the idle
talk of a discontinued girl until she
smrIed gas yesterday afternoon. Going
to Miss Wards room. she found that
it was filled with gas from an open jet.
The young woman was unconscious on
the bed. She died soon afterward when
taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital.

FLIERS SOAR HERE TODAY
Army Airmen to Show How Enemy
Was Photouraphed

Army fliers will give demonstration
this afternoon of how the American air
forces took photographs of the German
positions. The planes will leave Bel
mont Plateau at 3 o'clock. They will be
in charge of Lieutenants Robert Il. Self.
George Stellcnwrcck and Floyd A. Will
son. Following the exhibition, several
persons will be invited to take short
trips in the planes.
A second exhibition will be given at
the same time at Belmont Plateau. The
planes will leave the city Monday morn
ing.
Lieutenants James p. Hodges and
Charles NJ. Potter stated that recon-
mendations for fixing Belmont Plateau
to meet the requirements of landing
place would be made to Mayor Smith
The proposal would necessitate re-
moving trees from the north and north
west parts of the field. That this would
meet with vigorous opposition from the
Park authorities was the assertion made
by one of their representatives. He said
the trees might be worth $100 each and
probably forty years would be required
to replace them.

SUBWAY AT CITY HALL
CALLED MOST COSTLY
Engineering News Says Scheme
Sets Record With Expense OF
$2o,ooo,ooo a Mile

The City Hall section of the subway
is the most expensive piece, of transit
engineering in the world, according to
the Engineering News Record.
/: This piece of subway is undoubtedly
the most costly rapid transit structure
in existence. as the expenditure for con
struction exceeds 500, 900, 200 per mile, "
says the magazine.
"The work is nothing less than the
undermining of the Philadelphia $27, =
10000 City Hall on an area of more
than an acre and the construction of
a four track subway with station in
this area and under the two branches
of the Market.sstree subway, south and
north of City Hall, to total area being
about 70Ox10O feet.
THE City Hall as well as the old sub
way had to be supported without dam
age from settlement at all stages of the
construction and also had to be carried
finally on the new structure. a com
plete change in plans and construction
was involved in the history Of the work.
The first data on the underground con-
ditions at the site were incomplete and
an imperfect conception of the under
taking resulted.
"All the elements of difficulty and cost
will, of course, survive in the form of a
permanent financial burden on the
shoulders of the Philadelphia public.
This unfortunately is quite unneces
sary burden, insofar as a change in the
location of the subway would have
avoided the difficulties that are respon
sible for the great cost. Indeed, there
is almost as much opportunity for study
ing the City Han subway work from
this standpoint as from that of the origi j.
nality of construction methods,

2 COMPENSATION RULINGS
State Board Denies Claim for Man
Killed Returning From Work =,

Harrisburg, Aug. 23.-The state
compensation board, in an opinion to-
day by Commissioner Houck, has ruled
that it must be shown that a special
officer employed by a corporation and
injured on it's property is in the line
of his employment when injured.
This decision was given in the case
of Staple VS.. Wilton Coal Company,
Salisbury. Staple was employed as a
special officer, subject to call at any
time. He generally worked at night,
and was found dead beside railroad
tracks after having said that he was
going home. The claim was that the
man was killed in -She course of his
employment, but the referee held that
the testimony did not show this.
In Greene VS.. Aetna Chemical Com
pany, Oakdale, an allotment for the
death of Edward A. Greene was set
aside, it being shown that the woman
who made the claim was not his widow.
The decedent had given her name and
that of minor child as his dependents.
The woman said she did not know of
any child.
Shortly afterward woman who
proved marriage and paternity of the
child was granted compensation, the
previous award being set aside, not
withstanding Greenes statement, when
employed, that the other woman was
his wife.

SUES FOR RENTALS
HE ONCE REFUSED
Suit Between William Bryant
and Tenants Renewed-Re-
suit of Increased Demands

With the filing of bill in equity in
Court No. 2 today there was a re-
newal of legal hostilities between Will
liam Bryant, coal merchant and prop
the city, and about seventy five of his
tenants, members of the Tenants Pro-
tectiye Association.
The houses in question are in the
vicinity of Tenth and Porter streets.
Bryant is the complainant in the
latest legal action and the suit is di-
rected against Richard T. McSorley
attorney, and Michael J. Roach, trus-
tees of the association funds consist
ing of the old rents which the land
lord had refused to accept, after, it is
said, demanding increases.
1t is this fund that Bryant wants the
trustees for the tenants to turn. over
without delay.
The trouble between the landlord and
his tenants dates back to last March
when his agent, it, is alleged, raised
the rent of all the defendants homes
Amounts of the boosts were, at the rate
Of five. eight and ten dollars per month
according to the size and location O.
the house.
Some of the tenants felt that the in
crease was unreasonable and refused
payment of the additional rent de
manded.
The agent refused to accept the olt
rate of rent and the tenants paid tn,
money over to the association which de
posted the funds in bank, pending tn,
outcome Of the controversy.
Roach, one of the tenants, by cour
proceedings. succeeded in hating hi

increased rent, and when the lower cour

counsel for the agent and the owner
made an Intellectual effort to hav,

The higher court ruled that all tn
merits of the controversy should b.

Roach case was in the form of tes
suit, involving the question whether th
covenants in his lease were not changed
by an oral agreement.

TEXTILE MILLS RUSHED
Many kensinston Plants Forced to
Turn Down Orders

So great is the demand for textiles in
America that the Kensington textile
mills are literally swamped with or
ders. which many of them are being
forced to turn down. Entire outputs
of the mills are said to be sold for
several months ahead.
The situation is brought about by the
fact that but small quantity of cloth
for domestic consumption was manu-
factured during the war, all mills hav-
ing have engaged almost exclusively on
government contracts.
Notwithstanding this, production,
mill owners say, is far below normal
because workmen refuse to put in more
than eight hours a day, and there is a
shortage of labor which prevents oper
ating two shifts.
