OLD STREET CARS
JUNK|NG IS ASKED
Commission Head Urges so
New Ones Per Year
Be Supplied.
BY DON S. WARREN.

Replacement of all obsolete and
slow street cars with modern, new
equipment, at the rate Of not less
than so per year. on q regular and
planned program, was proposed to the
Capital Transit Co. today by Riley
E. Elgen, chairman Of the Public
Utilities Commission.
Acting personally. Chairman Elgen
sent a communication to E. ID. Mer-
rill, vice president and general man
ager of the transit company, sug.
gesting bluntly that there can be
little question" that the firm could
afford to begin such a replacement
program.
Elgen said he mad placed his views
before the other commission members.
and, while formal action has not been
taken as yet by the regulatory body,
he strongly suggested the time had
come for action by the transit COM
pany.
The commission chairman proposed
that the program Of replacement be
agreed on 50 that the first so new
street cars be available for service
not later than the middle Of 1887.
He requested the company to submit
such a program ''at the earliest pos
sible moment"
Company's Benefit Seen.
Elgen is convinced the move would
be to the benefit of the company as
well as to the riding public. He cited,
in this connection, the increasing
complaints from car riders against
the many obsolete cars in service now,
although the company has collected
the full sums of their retirement costs.
Recently the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations demanded that the
company Immediately purchase 800
new street cars, giving equipment
trust notes, If necessary. This was
by the company plans for ex-

PRESIDENT HERE,
LAYS NEW PLANS
Mapping Course for Wind.
Up of Elections Campaign.
Speaks Tonight.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Returning to the White House
shortly after midnight following a
two-day tour in Southern New Eng
land, President Roosevelt planned to
give most Of his attention today to
his personal plans for winding up his
campaign for reelection.
1t Is thought that the President will
announce definitely today whether he
viii accede to requests that he make a
whirlwind trip into Western Pennsyl-
wanna and possibly Ohio some time dur
ing the brief period remaining until
election day.
There is q strong possibility that
this announcement will call for q
speech either in Wilkes-Barr or Scran-
ton, Pa. or probably both. and then
an automobile tour down to Phila-
delphia. Requests have been made
that the President extend such trip
into Delaware for speech at VIII
mington and then for tour through
New Jersey, with speeches at Camden
and several other strategic points.
Radio Speech Tonight.
Mr.. Roosevelt Is taking advan-
tage of any spare time today to
compose the radio speech he will de-
liver tonight from the White House.
It will be broadcast directly to nearly
score of banquets of business men
in different cities throughout the
country.
In addition to this and a speech
he will make Monday afternoon at
Howard University, the President at
this time has only one more major
address on his campaign schedule.
This will be delivered at Democratic
rally at Madison Square Garden on
October 81.
On October 20 the President will
participate in ceremonies in New York
incident to conmemoration Of the
50th anniversary of the Statue of
Liberty in New York Harbor and
probably will make brief address.
However, the remarks on this occasion
are not scheduled as political.
Mr.. Roosevelt called cabinet meet
ing for this afternoon as he consid-
cred this the best way to make quick
check-up on what has been going on
in the Government since he has been
campaigning. 1t will be the first cab
met meeting in several weeks.

PHILADELPHIA, October 49,
Complete replacement by radium Of a
dificult and dangerous operation for
cancer was reported today to the
American College Of Surgeons by DR..
william Fletcher Shaw Of Manchester,
England.
The British surgeon declared that
he has depended solely on radium
during the past five years in the treat
ment of cases Of carcinoma Of the
cervix instead Of the operation which
involved the removal Of great amounts
Of infected body tissue both in the
affected organs and the area sur
rounding them.
Little risk is involved in the use
of radium, he added, while excessive
risk attends the major operation for
merly used. There is no doubt that
radium gives better chance to q
patient than operation, even in the
earliest stages Of the growth, and II
has the added advantage that the
most advanced case can also be treated
with some chance Of cure, while it

Counties other Democrats feel as

They may have made no open break,
