preliminary to some sort Of recogni
ton Of the soviet government.

u GIVES CITY LIGHT
Downtown Section Must Econ
omize, However, After Yes
terday's Accident
TRANSFORMER is WRECKED

BY drawing upon reserve resources of
electric power, the Philadelphia Electric
Co. is able today to supply light aud
power to the downtown section in which
''the lights went out yesterday after
noon
Economy in the use of electric energy
has been made necessary, however. as
the accident in the supply station in
SAMSON street near Ninth resulted in the
wrecking of one of the largest rotary
transformers of the company.
Setting n good example to other users
OF electricity, the Philadelphia Electric
Go. is running only one of its five ele-
vators in its headquarters building at
Tenth and Chestnut streets.
There is a great deal of curiosity to-
day as to the exact cause of the sudden
shutting off of light and many eXplana
tions have been offered.
Electricity is too mysterious slave
of industry for even its masters to dis
cuss with absolute certainty. When it
is submissive, it is abjectly submissive.
But when it goes off on a tantrum it
gives no warning and raises high jinks.
For fifteen or twenty seconds yes
terday afternoon in the SAMSON street
supply station there was one of the
most brilliant pyrOtechnic displays pos
sible. Fire and sparks flew everywhere
from a great revolving wheel. The
situation might have been serious had
not electrical engineers provided for
just such an emergency and made it
possible to shut off the energy.
But in that fifteen or twenty seconds
the great new rotary transformer was
wrecked. Thick pieces of copper were
melted and twisted and some, heated
hot, were flung to all parts of the sta
ton Some of these fragments. torn
from the machine. struck and damaged
another large rotaAP transformer. but
the injury was not serious enough to put
II out of use. This machine and others
held in reserve at the station are sup
plying most of the energy used today.
The SAMSON street station is one of
fonr suhstations which furnish elec-
tricity for the district between the
Schuylkill and Delaware rivers and
Spruce and Vine streets Wires from
these stations run through the Edison
underground system. The district sup
piled by the SAMSON street station is
Market and Spruce streets.
The accident yesterday was one of
the most serious that has ever hap
pened in a power plant here. 1t was
also entirely unexpected. The ma =
chinery at the plant was new aud of
the most modern design. and it was not
thought that an accident of that sort
was possible.
The only warning given the men in
charge of the station was a flicker of
light just before the display of fire
works began.
