M'NICHOL MEN HOLD'

COMMITTEE FORT IN

CITY TRANSIT WAR

Varc Represented by Only

Six Men in Body "Which

Will Decide Fate of Ordi

nances in Councils.

One Obstructionist Frankly Ad

mits Ho s Waiting for Orders

From "Follows at tho Front."

Mayoralty Campaign Factor.

A noil of the members of Councils' Fi

nance Commltlco today revealed tho fact

that tho Vnre members of the committee

would be In lino solidly ror

Dhcctbr Taylor's rapid tran

sit program when Chairman

Connelly calls a meeting of

tho committee. This, ho an

nounced, would be within n

few dnjp.

Thn McNIchol Councllmcn, It

la shown, will bo lined Up solidly against

the Tnvlor prosrain lor ruui imuu umion.

In political circles It Is generally under-

stood that both sldos have received their

orders anil that thb fight from now on

will be along cicar-cui, uemiuc mita.

Backln? Director Taylor will stand Sena

tor Vafe with the downtown members of

the Finance Committee. On the other

tide Senator McNIchol, who came out In

the open against tho plan yesterday, will

order his men to defy public opinion and

throttle the plan.

In view of Senator JlcXIchors opposi

tion to the Taylor transit program. Senu

tor Varo was naked today what his atti

tude was on the question. , In reply ho

made tho following statemont:

"I stand exactly where I have always

stood-ln favor of rapid transit, and I

want to seo It .worked out In the best

and quickest way."

There are six Va're men. on the Finance

Committee.

There are 17 McNIchol men on the Fi

nance Committee, thouoh one, of his fol

lowers Intimated today that he would

vote to report the bill out of committee.

This means that unless an. aroused pub

lic forces the McNIchol men to disre

gard the order of their chief the Taylor

iplan will not be considered at the Fi

nance Commltteo meeting, that It will

remain In "pickle," or that a compro

mite, the result of which will be only to

deliy the plan, will, be effected.

The political allegiance of ono mem

ber of the committee s doubtful, but he

la supposed to be' aliened with the .Vares.

H. Is Robert. Smith, of the 36th Ward.

The threat of a higher tax rato 1b a

'neV device. , which Senator Mc.NJqb.ol' wJH

use, In his attempt , to frighten tho people

away from' supporting- Director Taylor's

transit plans.

The, Senator figures out that tho ad

ditional city debt tp provide funds for

transit' development, and other Improve

ments would necessitate an Incrcaso from

ll.CO, the present tax' rate, to $2.50.

This will be the basts of his argument

against the Taylor plan when the Com

mittee on Municipal 'Corporations of the

State Senate, .of which Senator Varo Is

chairman, holds a public hearing on the

Constitutional amendment In the Finance

Committee's room tomorrow afternoon.

Political observers pplnted out signifi

cantly hat the alignment of tho two

tides is virtually the samo as It was in

the last bitterly contested mayoralty

campaign. Using the proposed transit

program for a political football, tho

smouldering factional fires are now about

to brenk out again at tho oxpense of the

public.

Unless a compromise can be reached or

Concluded on Face Seven

PROFESSIONAL DOG

SLAYER REQUESTED

IN FAIRMOUNT PARK

Odd Request for Protection

of Deer Along Wissa

hickon Made to Commis

sion by Theodore Justice.

A professional dog slayer Is wanted

for Falnnount Park.

A request for. such a rifleman was en

tered today by Theodore Justice at the,

meeting of the Park- Commission in City

Hall. Ho said tho deer which tho city

recently placed In Falrmount Park near

Vlssahlckon were being attneked by

stray dogs.

Exception to Mr. Justice's proposal was

made by B. T. Stotesbury, whereupon it

was decided to placo tho entire matter

before George Wharton Pepper, counsel

for the comvnlsslon. He will determine

whether or not the city has a right to

employ a rifleman at the park to shoot

stray dogs.

The commissioner? opinions on- the

matter n't today's meeting were varied.

Mr Justice, maintained that the employ

ment of a do.K slayer for the noble pur

pose Indicated shodld meet with no op

position, while Mr. Stotesbury contended

lie would have no objection to the Idea

provided the employment of the dog

slayer did not entail any additional com

plications with owners of .slain dogs. The

following colloquy ensued:

Mr. Btotesbury "Who appreciates the

deer anyhow?"

Mr. Justice "I think many appreciate

them. They hav them in the parks

abyoad and .seem to have no trouble In

protecting them."

Mr. Stotesbury-"! seems to me that

the employment of a rifleman might re

sult In complications."

Mr. Justice "We shall have to get an

experienced forest ranger."

Mr. Stotesbury: "Have to get whatT"

Mr. Justice: "An experienced forest

ranger."

Mr. BtoUsbury: "I thought you said an

experienced fire engine." ,

8. W. Keiths "I am Informed that

some of the deer make themselyaa quite

comfortable In the homes of residents."

Jamea Poljock: "Yes, one of them,

I understand, recently entered the kitchen

of a house and had quite a delightful

meal."
