WATER RATE RISE
STIRS LANSDOWNE
General Protest of Action
of Springfield
Company
MAY GO TO COURT
One Thousand Per Cent In
crease for Fire Service.
Fear Higher Taxes
An Increase In rates In Lansdovvne by
the Springfield Water Company has
caused a general protest there.
There has been an advance of more
than a thousand per cent In fire service
rates, and several residents said thin
afternoon that an appeal to the Public
Service Commission and action in the
courts would be taken.
As rates also were Increased recently
In Merlon, Bryn Mawr and other com-
munlttes supplied by the Springfield )
company, it is probable residents or
these towns will Join In a united effort
to bring down the rales. '
Recently the residents of Wayne,
where the water rates were Increased
from fifty to one hundred per cent, pe
titioned the Public Service Commission
to order a reduction.
In commenting on the company's ad
vance, W. A. McCwen, burgess of Lans
dovvne, said this afternoon that If the
tesldents were obliged to meet this new
price of water It would necessitate an
I Increase In the tax late.
"The company's bill for fire-main
i service, he said, was presented at a
meeting of Council last night. It
amounted to about $2600 for the last
six months, or approximately $3200 for
the year.
"Under the old basis ot $15 a plug
the bill for the borough was about $550
a year. The people w 111 not stand for
this unwarranted Increase. We will take
action In the courts before paying this
exorbitant figure."
In Its new scale of prices for fire
main service the company charges $7.50,
a plug, hut a charge of $355 a mile Is
also made and it Is this new baslB of cal
culation which has caused general In
dignation. It is estimated there are
fifteen and three-quarter miles of main
In Lansdovvne.
Residents assert that this Is not a
1 fair method of gauging cost of service.
I The company declares the Increase In
the coot of water for fire service Is more
than offset by the prices to the house
holders. The minimum rate to residents
was formerly $18, legardless of the
amount used, and this has been i educed
to $12.
A representative of the company at ilsi
offices, 112 North Broad Street, said
the new charges were ordered by the
Public Service Commission, anil" are
based on an Investigation by the com
mission. APPEAL TO LIQUOR MEN

Pilots' Walkout Prevents
Saving of Costly Med
ical Supplies
ARSON SUSPECT CAUGHT
Man With Matches Takcm
After Munition Craft
Is Saved
Fire, believed to have been of lncen
diary origin, destroyed the Government
lighter W. A. Sumner today, In th T
Delaware Tllver, nt Queen street
The blazing craft lay alongside tho,
tramp steamship Saint Oliver, which
was laden with munitions. The Oliver
was pulled to safety by three private.'
tugs. The city fireboat Stuart lay near,.
but was unavailable because of the
pilots' walkout.
Shortly before the alarm wan sounded
Pennsylvania Railroad Detective Jainei
Adair, on duty along that portion of tho
waterfront where the lighter had been
docked, arrested Joseph Wilkes, a Lith
uanian, as a suspicious character."'
Wilkes's pockets, according to the po
lice, were filled with matches. Hn was
taken before Magistrate Imber at the
Second and Queen streets' station sev-"
eral hours later and held under $1000
ball on suspicion.
Ilenr.r Financial Iaiss
The Sumner was burned to the water's '
edge and was a total loss, as was also '
her cargo of medical supplies. The
value of the lighter and her cargo'
totaled several hundred thousand dol
lars. The damage to the Saint Oliver
was comparatively slight. The Sumner
was formerly an excursion steamboat
running out of New York.
The Sumner was tied alongside the
Saint Oliver at Pier No. 38. loading the
tramp with Government medical sup
plies, when fire was discovered below
decks on the lighter, at 4:30 o'clock.
The flames soon enveloped the Sum
ner and were menacing the Saint Oliver
and Its cargo of high explosives stored
In the hold. Flying embers from the
lighter ignited the side of the steamship.
The masters of the tugs L. V. Scher-
erhorn and PIot, owned by the Amer
an Dredging Company, and Tug S"o. 1
of the Pennsjlvajila Railroad Company's
fleet, went to the assistance of tho Saint
Oliver and towed her out Into mid-'
stream. Members of their crews then
bonideel the tramp and helped put out
the blaze on that ship.
The fiieboat Stuart, which could not
Uie usPd because of the lack of a crewj
can tlitow 9000 gallons of water a min
ute, and In the opinion of waterfront,
men could have saved the lighter. Tho
flreboat Reyburn leached the Bcene after
the destruction of the Sumner was com
plete The Inactivity of the Stuart Is ex
pected to have direct Influence on tho
proposed reinstatement of those pllot.i
and engineers of the Are and police boats:,
who resigned to enforce their demands,
for higher pay. '
Causes Much Incitement
The burning boat caused great ex
citement on the river. Other vessels, In
dnnger from llylnir embers, were hastily
moved to a safe distance. When It be-
came evident that the Sumner could
not be saved, the firemen devoted their
efforts to saving other vessels close by,
and to preventing the destruction of the
pier. A part of Pier 38 was badly dam
aged. a
Fire destroved the two-story building;
of the Westmoreland Chemical Com
pany, Twenty-secontl Unci Westmoreland
streets, early today. Henry Barr, lire-
man, of Knglne Company No. 59, sus-1
tallied cuts on the hand when struck
by falling glass. Officials ot the com-'
pany were unable to estimate the dam
