of the friends ofvicted man will be arraigned-for sentence Thursday and ifJudge Blair decides to accept bail itwill be in the sum of S16WO It is thecourts prerogative to refuse bail andit is also that who hasexhausted his means whosefriends are not wealthy may notto raise the required sum if he isen a light

HE PHILADELPHIA FRANCHISES

Text of Tolm WnnamaUers Letter toRepresentative K II focilcrer JrPHILADELPHIA June 22 The re

newal by John Wanamaker of the of-

fer of 2500000 for the rapid transitfranchises is the principal topic discussed here today The letter of MrWanamaker to Representative RobertH Fo derer jr again making the offer Is as follows

Robert H FoerdererSir I was absent in another

part of the State when your interviewwas published on Tuesday last and did notsee it in full until yesterday My justifi-cation for addressing you is that you de-voted so much of your communication tomyself my and my personal af

letter to the mayorcity proposing to give 25W WO for

the franchises that were given to youand your associates for nothing you

fit to indulge in a personal attackupon my motives and sincerity The goodtaste and propriety of this course on yourpart I shall leave to your own maturerjudgment and shall not engage with youin any controversy upon that subject

My personal affairs and pardon me ifI say yours also are of very littleconcern compared momentouspublic question of the audacious

by private citizens of public fran-chises and property of enormous moneyvalue That issue your attack upon mewas intended to obscure and 1 shall notaid you in this object by a retort I shalldo nothing that will public gazefrom the authors of thescheme of spoliation represented by thelegislation which has put you and yourassociates in the possession of valuabla

and municipal grants without areturn to the public

Your defence of the mayor throughwhom your franchises were obtained forflinging away the letter containing my of-

fer to the city was natural and to be ex-pected but it was clumsy and contradic-tory to that officials own declarationsYou say he signed the ordinances without any knowledge of the contents of myletter and without any Intention of avoid-ing such knowledge and hastening his ap-proval The mayor himself howeversays he cast the letter aside because hethought it contained a proposition fromsome one other than myself and relatedto the matter of the ordinances and his

upon them Thus you see yourand the mayors do not and

yours obviously is wanting inwhich his blunt and audacious avowalcontained So much for your success asa volunteer champion of a publicofficer

The vital part of your communicationthe statement that my proposition to

pay 2500000 to the city for what you gotfor was not intended seriouslyand gambling slang you found soapt was merely a bluff You say Inot expect or intend that the offer shouldbe accepted that the mayor could nothave given the franchises and becauseusing again what you similarly regard asappropriate slang iny offer had a stringto itI do not mean that your Inthis shall Idesire to give you incontestable evidencethat the proposition I made to the mayorwas made In all and that all theobjections which you say exist to the acceptance f that offer shall be removedYou say that I had no charters and thatthe councils could not have made thegrants to me Very well for the sake of

j argument be it so But there is no legalor other objection to you and your col-

leagues selling to me the franchises ofj which you are now the donees and ownerswithout recompense to the city

I therefore renew the offer which Imade te the mayor to pay as hereinstated to the city of Philadelphia 52500000 and in addition thereto I will a 3d-

S5043G as a bonus to yourself and yourassociates personally for the conveyance-of the grants and corporate privHengesyou now possess There is surely no

When you your associates assignto me the capital stock ownership andcontrol of the corporations yo now pos-sess with the engineers plans I will payto you the sum of e and I will payto the city of Philadelphia the 5under the conditions stated in my letterto the mayor

And 1900669 of which amount Ishould stipulate should be used for thedeepening of the Delaware River chan-nel and 1 X be applied to the building of public and for the purposeof

In addition to this I will agree on thesurface roads covered by your chartersand the ordinances that 3cent fares onlyshall be between the hours of 6a m and 5 and 7 p m andnot over 5 cents for the other hours andwill further that any time withinten years of Philadelphia mayresume the franchise upon the payment-of the actual money expended anded In the various enterprisesthe ordinances as herein set

You have said my offer to the mayorwas conditional upon the validity of thegrants which is certainly true And whowould have it otherwise The city wouldnot want to take 25009W for rights whichIt had not the power to confer Thiswould be almost as bad as publicproperty and making no

The difference between you and me onthis is that I will give the city 2

scent fares if these grants arevalid You will give the people nothingfor them under the same circumstances

Now Mr Foerderer here is an ad-mirable chance for you and your

to turn an honest 508 for corwhich it is to be

cost you leastcan be avowed At the same

time the Delaware River channel forwhich the ring Legislature has just nowrefused to make an appropriation can I edeepened to the sea and that commercebe invited to our wharves for lack ofwhich the trade to the city is languishingMoreover the inadequate school facili-ties may be supplied by a million dollarsfor the building and equipping of

where the children of a portion ofthe citizens may receive the educationthey are now denied for want of schoolsand teachers and in addition to all this-a system of fares can be inaugu-rated which will be a boon to the workingand traveling which they will cxperience the years tocomeThe condition of 3cent fares I willagree shall be incorporated into the fran-chises by a formal contract with the cityapproved by its City Solicitor as well alsoas the agreement to turn the franchisesover to the city again at any time withinten years upon the payment of the actualoutlay with 6 per cent interest I amstronpjfy in favor of the principle of mak

all of rjuniclpal franchises andutilities conditioned upon the right of thecity to resume them at any time uponmaking reimbursement for the money ex

And I that I shalllend my Influence for whatever it may beworth for the exercise this right wherethe city possesses it and for the incorperatios of such an option in all futuregrants I say again as in my letterto the mayor that it Is not my desireto enter upon the business of railroadingor to make any profit out of any muni-cipal franchise I merely desire the peo-ple to see how badly they havewronged and the of theof the of which they have been

If you should accept the offer of thisletter I will cheerfully put the franchisesup to auction and give the city any sumbid for them in excess of that which Ishall pay under this proposition Jf theproposition I have made lo you is not ac-ceptable I should be glad to know whatsum will tempt you and your associates-to surrender the privileges you now ownand which were obtained by methods sounusual and defiant cf the public will asto have aroused the indignation of the

of the entire nationThere may be those who will an

ethical objection to the paymentsum of money to persons obtaining valu-able by such methods As aquestion of casuistry there may be someforce in such objection but I am advisedthat the paymcnt proposed in this letterof 569060 to you and your associateswould not be indictable as the compound-ing of a felony but would be defensibleas a bonus merely peW for the restriction-of pwMHe property wrongfully obtained

Its Violation Charged by Organizations of AVorkinffmen

An Appeal to Be Uncle to Congressto Restrict Regulations ofthe Commissioner of Immigration

According to a large number ofrecently received at the Treas-

ury Department and by variousand Representtives from theorganizations of the country the ContractLabor law has been permitted to becomea dead letter by T ST Commis-sioner of Immigrationthat more foreign laborers areing in this country in open violation ofthe law than have ever attempted togain admission in the past ten years Insomething over SCO cases it is shown thelaw has been since January 1 ofthis year single person has

deported It is further charged thatto enforce the law have been

abandonedThe Contract Labor law is the direct

resul of much agitation expense andhard work on the part of the labor organ-izations and they have been very jealous-of any seeming violations of what theyhave had enacted

When some recent cases were broughtto the attention of the organizations theydemanded that action be taken and thereplies received compelled them toan investigation which has resultedclaim as stated above It is thatthe matter will now be

organizations Into wherethey intend to put up a fight dur-ing the session organ-izations is reported demand thatthe law be enforced to the letter and thatthe present rules set aside and new reg-ulations made which will not nullify thelaw Supplemental legislation will be en-

acted it Is assured which will strengthenthe law

It is admitted that the Government isnow spending S150000 per year in perfunc-tory administration of the law and thatno results are being attained Agents arestationed at the various ports it Is claim-ed to look out for contract andheadquarters are aexpense Unless evidence Is at handwhich shows conclusively that the new-comer is a contract laborer It ishe is permitted to enter

Formerly the officials were permitted toquestion the immigrant as to his

and his past It was also cusplace the newcomer under

and have him swear that he had nota contract previous to leaving the otherside of the water For some reason It Isasserted both of these rules have beenset aside by Mr Powderly and during thepast year the laborer has neither beenquestioned nor sworn Unless the Inspector has evidence that the newcomer isviolating the law and this Is said to bealmost impossible to obtain without ques

the man he is admittedviolation of the law It is

claimed that of late a number of skilledworkmen who made contracts on the other side have been permitted to land de-spite the fact that the contract was madeknown to the According to thecharges organizations-the steel and coal mine owners are ship-ping foreign labor Into the United Statesin gangs having the men on theother side The passed along-it is said that the bars down andthe fact that immigration was heavierlast month than during any month foryears Is thought to uphold this argument

At the Treasury Department today itwas claimed that H A Taylor an As-sistant Secretary Sad ordered the rulesfor detecting contract laborers discontin-ued Sir Taylor declined to discuss thesubject The officials of the ImmigrationBureau positively declined to talkthe matter but it was learned thathas been trouble between the TreasuryDepartment officials and the officials ofthe Immigration Bureau along the linereferred to

It is alleged that the Treasury officialshave refused to cooperate with the Immigration Bureau people and have beenhampering them in many ways the latest being by a withdrawal of the powersof the inspectors In contract labor casesRecent reports from the

HUNTING FOR A WILD MAR

Residents of XortH Pellmm JX Y Inn Stntc of Terror

NEW YORK June constablesposse armed with revolvers and guns andcarrying lanterns hunted through thewoods at North Pelham last night for awild man whose appearance has terrifiedwomen and children The wild man Isabout forty years old with a long shaggy beard and a crop of unkempt hair Hewears a pair of trousers and a blackshirt having neither shoes nor hat Thosewho have seen him say be can run liRethe wind He utters a weird cry as hegoes that frightens those who hear It

He was first seen on Sunday afternoon-in Gannons Woods He suddenly appear-ed before Wilbur Hanratty Imlhe kingof the woods he ciied Hanratty did notdispute his claim and then the wild manuttered a triumphant laugh and

Ellen Whalen daughter of John Whalen saw the wild man on Wednesdaywhile she was In the woods picking straw-berries The wild man who was hidingbehind a clump of bushes came out andsaid Good afternoon to her rather

She was and ran homescreaming The wild man the wildman

The wild man was seen again on Thursday He was creeping furtively along Inthe bushes near School No 1 The chil-dren who had heard so much aboutwere scared by the odd actions of the un-

couth creature and they rushed into theschoolhouse and gave the alarm I

principal of the school rushed outjust In time to see the wild man running-to the woods uttering frightened criesthat sounded like yelps

Mrs Marvel jalnitress of the school-house who lives on the edge of WildMans Woods saw him the nightsitting on a rock crooning to himseLfWhen he realized that he was observedhe uttered a strange cry and vanished

The community became so demoralizedfrom fear of the wild man that MrMarks the constable organized posseof the bravest citizens and best runnersIn North Pelham They concealed themselves near Wild Mans Wood while somebait was put In an open space in whichhe had been most often seen The baitconsisted of pie and meat It thoughtthe sense of smell enjoyed by wild menIs very acute and he would scent the baitfrom a long distance But he was notcaught

The posse hunted through the woods inpairs last night operating on the roundup principle but they saw no trace ofthe wild man

It is thought that he may have escapedfrom Grangers Asylum at Bronxville aninstitution for wealthy lunatics When apatient runs away every effort is made tokeep the matter a secret

CHICAGO June R Law-rence an adventurous photographer whotakes snapshots of the earth from thepoint of view of the sky fell 200 feetfrom a broken balloon yesterday andstruck upon his feet without a bruise orscratch

The balloon was big enough to carry7SQ poun4s Suspended from it was aplatform 32 by 45 inches with a handrailround it two and a half feet above thefloor Mr Lawrence had been up 959

I grasped the two sidebars above theplatform and held them fast all the waydown managing to keep my balance sothat the platform acted like a parachuteand broke the force of the fall I bentall my joints slightly keeping my musclesperfectly stiff however As I approached-the ground I raised myself on any

was in that position when I struckThe platform hit the ground tilted just alittle but almost as lint as when I start-ed to fall I fell down like a rag whenI bit but I hadnt a bruise except a slightone on my right knee

There was only one thing that operated-to make Mr Lawrences fall easier whichwas not due to his own presence of mindThat was fact that he fell so toa lojt of telephone and telegraph wiresthat the netting of the balloon that cametrailing down behind him dragged uponthere slightly and lessened his speed inthe last forty feet The drag was notenough to make it noticeable Ltp him nordid it serve to tilt him off his platformMr Lawrence wired at once for anotherballoon
