of Wright was in spite of a sub
poena ordered issued by the court
this morning for his appearance and
made necessary the serving of notice

the court room, said he was there
only as an interested spectator"
When Attorney Young received no

who took the stand and admitted
having issued a written statemen,
to the effect thas chaplin's attor-
neys have been instructed TO provide
for his children. McNab refused to
answer further question put by
Young which bore on the case. In n
statement introduced by Attorney
Young and alleged to have been
made by Chaplin himself of The con-
dition of his finances during the
period of his marriage, Young gave
the following items:
Income from THE Gold Rush, ST.

Cost of "rhe Gold Rush." $SS6,94S
Cost of "The Circus ca picture
in process of completion) $623, AIS

Income tax paid in 1925 and 1926,
$S1,181 and $106,25O.
Personal expenses (mainly house
hold, $65,26
Paid to and for Mrs. Chaplin, $45,-
$50.
Paid for care of chaplin's mother,
$1O,029.
According to this statement of
finances Chaplin has balance on
hand of $913,57O.29.
Mrs. Chaplin and her mother sat in
a corner of the room. Some of the
crowd which sought to gain entrance
to the courtroom surged around and
peered through side window. One
mother held her child aloft, saying
in a whisper audible in some parts,
of The room: That's her"
In issuing the order to w. I. Gill
bert, receiver, providing opening
of the safes in Chaplin's offices,
Judge Guerin told the receiver he
coulo use MS own netncu IN carry

Contract Protects City.
Regarding this contract Mr.. Nc
"It is quite evident that the city
enjoys very valuable rights under the
907 contract with the company.
This contract may be an important
factor in arriving at constructive
solution for the problems of the pres
ent and future.
Against the background Of Phila-
delphia's transportation history the
contract Of 1907 stands out as the
single great step achieved in the past
for the protection of the interests of

Sees Ultimate Scent Fare.
In explaining his program for The
city's acquisition Of all transit facili-
ties Mr.. McChord says:
"These obligations would be dis
charged out of p. r. T. revenues and
would constitute the car riders contri-
button. amounting to approximately
$7,500,000 annually. They would result
in vesting in the city within so years
the entire p. r. T. system, valued at
upward of $200,000,O00.
"City-built lines will be carried and
paid for out of city treasury. This
will constitute the taxpayers contri-
button, amounting to approximately
$6.500,000 annually, and will in so
years free from debt and fixed
charges all city-built lines.
"a substantial reduction in present
fares, with the possibility of ulti-
mately returning to the scent base

JOHN COWPER POWYS
TALKS ON LITERATURE
Memorial Fund Speaker Attributes
Postwar Works to Youths
Rebellion.

The psychology Of modern htera-
ture was discussed by John Cowper
Powys. staff lecturer for the extern
sion societies of oxford and Cam
bridge universities, yesterday at the
third of a series Of Lenten lectures
at the Mayfiower Hotel for the benefit
of the George Washington Memorial
fund.
The revolt Of youth under feminine
leadership in eroticism is the basis
of a literature which has been infiu-
enced by the World War, Mr.. Powys
said. The soul of modern literature
is capricious, whimsical and fantastic
rather than founded on the bedrock
of reality, as prophesied by the unc-
tuous pulpit doctrines Of war times.
he declared.
Hostile moral censorship of litera-
ture Is an entirely new historical de-
velopment, not matter of sanctity.'

cusation that certain works discuss

he said. Mr.. Powys said that young
women are developing faster into
dominant writer's than young men.

District officials and members OF
Congress expressed interest today IN
the report of G.. G. McChord, former
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, to the Public Service
Commission of Pennsylvania in regard
to the Philadelphia transit situation,
though conditions in Philadelphia and
Washington are so different that the
conclusions reached are regarded as
hardly applicable to the situation here
This report declares for city owner
ship and forecasts the possibility or
scent fare, eventually. The solution
recommended by Mr.. McChord would
at the expiration Of 80 years put the
entire ownership Of the traction IA
cilities in the city, with an amortiza-
ton fund being built up by the COM
pany now operating the system so
that it could be taken over as paid
up proposition by the city in 1867.
Meanwhile, through immediate con-
demnation of the underliers, there
would be a saving of $4,500,000 year.
Operated as One System.
The urban railways of Philadelphia
are operated as one system by the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co. All Of
these, with one exception, are leased
from other companies commonly re-
ferred to as "underliers." The one ex-
ception is the high-speed elevated line
known as the "Frankford L. which
was constructed by. and leased from,
the city. Aonther high-speed line, the
Broad Street Subway, is being con-
structed by the city and will soon be
ready for operation.
The company also operates as part
IF fC fv~or Cff
of motor buses and in addition a fleet
Of taxicabs.
On January /. 1907, a contract was
entered into which limits the divi-
dend to stockholders to 6 per cent,
so that the city shall share equally
with the stockholder in any distribu-
ton of excess earnings. The contract
also provides for the building up of
a sinking fund which would enable

1t was explained to the President
that this class was organized only
little more than a year ago and now
has a membership of more than 900
men and women.
The President was represented as
expressing considerable interest In
the class and it's work and said he
hoped that some time he and Mrs.
Coolidge would be able to attend.

BRIDGE HEARING
SET ON APRIL "A
Board Adopts Specifications
for College Repair.

A public hearing on the repair of
College Ave. bridge and construction
of a. boulevard from Central Ave. tic
College Ave- on the south side of
Fall Creek, will be held April IA by
the park board.
Plans and specifications for the re-
pair of the bridge were adopted by
the, board Thursday. The plans were
drawn by City Engineer Chester C.
Oberleas fer the board of works.
Work on the two projects will
start in about six weeks, John e.
Minor, board president, said.
The board again deferred action on
the petition of Frank f. Woolling
for the erection of filling station at.
Thirtieth and Meridian SITS. This
matter has been before various city
boards for two years.
A Circuit Court decision several
weeks ago overruled the board of
coming appeals, which denied the per-
NIT. The park board declared it
would have to pass ON the permit
before filling station could be built
on a boulevard.
A new trial in Circuit Court will
be asked. according to J. Clyde Hoff-
man, zoninz appeals board attorney.
