' ii i PHILA0ELPHFA FAR FROiM SETTLEMEffT PRINCIPAL SPEAKER t , . t . i It (United rrM ltrt W1r.) Philadelphia, March 1 2. With hank ing and financial Interests , keeping hands off, with President Taft and hi advisers understood to agree that they cannot, intervene, undwUJi the strikers and official both claiming victory, the car and general striken in Philadelphia oem far from settlement tonight, Ruslness Interests ant civic organlta Hons are bringing to bear every bit of pressure tney can exert to force a set tlement. The strikers still maintain their willingness to arbitrate, but the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company, which brought about the monster gen eral strike by refusing to treat with the men, still obstinately refuses to ac tept wrbltration. The committee of 30 .representative business men from various civic bodies, seeking to effect a settlement, has r quested C. O. Pratt, strike leader, and Krancla Brown, transit company attor ney, to meet them in an effort to find some middle ground upon which arht ' tratlon may bo attained. Pratt has sig nified his willingness to attend. Kfforts to get bankers and financial Interests to bring pressure to force the, car cumpany to arbitrate will probably fall. Financial men are unwilling to be en mo Involved It Is conceded that Philadelphia busi ness men are losing millions dally as a result of the great general strike. Even those plants where the men are still working report big orders canceled by out-of-town merchants, which eancella- lion has caused much loss. Grand Campaign of Organizing. If the tie-up continues another week, UOO.OOO men will be out, strike leaders declare. They declare no further effort will be made to get out big bodies of men until the arrival early next week r trHlned natlfmal organizers. "We want to be able to organise these nonunion men Into unions as soon as we net them," they declared. Textile, hosiery and yarn manufac turers employing 30,000 men closed their plants this week, to reopen Monday, with .the threat that unless their employes returned then . they would close down until fall. They declare their spring business will be ruined by a tie-up now. Serious consequences are expected If the unions carry out their expressed plan to force every employer of union labor In Philadelphia to sign new and higher wage scales unless the street car strike is settled by Monday. fc,m ployers of thousands of men on strike lire willing to take their men back at the present scale, but would resist demand for higher wages. .Mayor Rayburn announced this even Ins that he was not opposed to arm tration. He said he hoped it was pos slble. but he would have no hand In it Georsre 11. Karle, one of the city's rep resentatives in the transit company, said he had once tendered his ivsignatlon so he could fight for better wages ana hours for the men, but that Pratt's union broke faith and he had withdrawn his resignation and would fight to the last President Murphy of the Central Labor union said tonight that the strik crs had sufficient aid to prolong the strike. The Central Labor union of Chi .ago, he said, would give $50,000 a week St. Louis $30,000 a weeK, ana san r ran clsoo $25,000. The strike leaders will concentrate ti.i.ir cffrirtM next week nnon CramD'S shipyards, the Mldvale steel works and the Pencoyd iron works, employing in all 50,000 men on the open shop plan. Thev (inclaip thev have rot out so many men at Disston's big saw works that the plant will nave to close xuonaay. Injured Passengers in Interur ban Wreck Forced to Pay for Rides and Berths. Inhumanity of Oregon & Washington railway trainmen la strikingly brought out In & statement made by J. Gordon Turnbull, a consulting engineer of Port land, who aided in the rescue work fol lowing the wreck of two interurban trains near Auburn, Wash., Thursday night. Mr. Turnbull was on his way to Port land on the Oregon & Washington train which was flagged, and which carried six of the wounded passengers of one of the interurban trains to Tacoma, "Our train was flagged by one of the men who was a passenger on the interurban train which ran down the freight train," said Mr. Turnbull. "At the point where the wreck occurred the Railway and Interurban tracks run side by side.. The. passenger, who had eeveral ribs broken and was suffering intensely, forded a stream neck-deep to reach tne railway tracks. "Several passengers, myseir among them, took the six7 more seriously hurt passengers to our tram and made them comfortable. Then the train started for Tacoma. On the way the train auditor compelled the wounded, one of them a woman, to pay their fares charged them for the berth" In which they were placed. Three of the wound ed were crazed with .path.. Neverthe less, the auditor made them pay their farts." Murphy Claims Aid Fund Ample. R. JR. Commission to Met Here. Salem, Or., March 12.

Stout, the singing re vivalist of 1a Angeles. Cal.. who has been holding services at the Taylor Street Methodist Episcopal church, has demonstrated beyond measure that music is a key to the soul and an nid in the realization of self Impurity. During the week he has successfully touched the Inner chord of thousands who crowded the edifice. "Prbfeesor B. P. Stout, singing re vivalist" Is all that a revivalist Is not expected ro be, and his methods are dis tinctively not the methods of the re vivalist. He Is not an orator. Neither Is he a singer of extraordinary ability. He Is as business like in his oratory ns he Is In his singing. The methods of the singing revivalist are peculiar and unique. His body Is plump, and his ruddy face, set off with a moustache, radiates cheer and Joy iality. In personal appearance, he Is the replica of President W. H Taft and the smile of the executive is his, too. He is a living paradox. Unlike pic tured revivalists he is not dignified, but neither is he undignified. He al-' most bustles about the service. He has a "get together personality. Professor Btout works as he slngs.imal fats. NEW 7" Uis&vuJ i Km nil .f.vv . m in Appears at Taylor Street Church. He Is the personification of energy. He sways and swings his ample body with the swells of the music. He moves con tinually. His body seems the pulse of the song. Magnetism of person and energy of purpose Is the secret of the revivalist's success. His personality draws. He goes upon the pulpit and seems, with sweeping gestures, to fight for souls. His Is a belligerent campaign against the devil, a warfare for righteousness. He Is battling, but pleading. He la positive, not negative. He denounces sin. but expends more effort in praising Ood. The effect tf lts magnetic personality on the auditors Is worthy of note. His art is forcefullness and he compels the audience to participate in the singing. Then he leaves them to the spell of the music. An easy way to fasten a handle on a steel umbrella rod is to Will the hole with powdered sulphur and insert the rod red hot.

The fourth day of the exciting pursuit of false clues wa coming to a closu when William Pendel and John Haughty, two boatmen employed by Bloodgood to search the lake, heard cries for help coming from a point on the water a hundred feet from the Laurel-ln-thc-Pines, one of the fashionable Lakewood hotels. The boatmen put out In a skiff and about 30 yards off Tine Point they res cued Henry t'assel, Carnegie hero, who had been plunged Into the lake by the overturning of his rowboat. ' rind Girl's Body. These boatmen had been dragging the lake with grappling Irons for two days sod believed they had covered every fool of the bottom, but now. with tho disturbance of the water at this parti cular point by the capsizing of Cassel's boat, the body of the girl was disen tangled from the weeds at the bottom of the lake and came to the surface They towed the body to tho Kissing bridge, a narrow span across the inlet to the lake, which, according to all theories, was most likely the place from which Miss Bloodgood leaped to her death a few minutes after her estte from the cottage. The body was clad In only a wight robe which Miss Mac Arthur, one of the nurses said she wore when she leaped from the window anil fled in the dawn of last Wednesday morning.
