(liy Leased Wire to The Times) Philadelphia, March 11 Aroused by the millions of dollars lost through the car strike and the general strike, and the threat of a state-wide walk out within 15 days, the representa tives of businossj religious and fra ternal organizations today will meet to make plans to force arbitration on the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com pany and restore business to normal conditions. . The meeting' of representatives of ('tactically every organization in the city, representing 200,000 mem bers, called by the business men's as sociation committee of seven for 2:00 p. in., at 202 South-Ninth street, is the most powerful attempt yet made to restore peace and order in Phila : dolphin. k ' The leaders of this movement planned from the first to. have concil iation the keynote of their efforts. This attempt, following the failure of the ministers and large commer cial interests to move the Pennsyl vania Uapld Transit Company from its attitude of non-conciliation is the climax of efforts to settle the big war and avert the mightiest labor con II lot America has ever seen. After the conference of the busi ness men's association leaders last Monday and the decision on this plan, 'more than 200 invitations were sent mil to organizations in Philadelphia inviting each to send three delegates to today's meeting. : With the company obdurate, the police determined, and the strikers claiming more gains, the situation this morning presented an absolute deadlock.

FOUGHT BATTLE WITH RIOTERS ( By Leased Wire to The Times) Trenton, N. J., March 11 -In a pitched battle between 5,000 rioters and a band of strike-breakers, 15 men were, Injured, four fatally, early to day. As 60 non-union men brought from New York, guarded by police, dashed to a waiting car and attempt ed to run It, the mob attacked them with revolvers and missiles. While the manifeutants fired fusilades the fugitives hid under the seats and the car was rushed through the .heart of the mob to the quarters arranged for the strike-breakers. A few of the newcomers answered the fire of the crowds, firing blindly without, daring to raise their heads to view. A bullet pierced the helmet of a policeman who started to rise from the close packed group of men on the floor and seats of the car. The police reserves from all over 'the city were called out and attacked the mob, which finally dispersed. There were many individual clashes after the riot, however, sporadic fighting occurring on the streets till dawn. Then the crowds again began to gather about the car barns. Gen eral Manager Peter E. Hurley, of the Trenton Street Railway, last night announced that no attempt to run 'ars would be made, but Mayor Mad den Immediately demanded a service under ponalty of $50 forfeit for eaeli hour in which no cars were mil. COBB WON ELECTION New York Republicans Re pudiate Taft and Root Defy the Kxpress Wishes of Tal't, Hoot, Hughes and Others and Meet Cobb to Succeed Senator Allds us Senate Itcpiihlicaii Leader. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Albany, N. V., March 11 Defying the express wishes of President Tail as expressed by Senator lSlilut Root the caucus of republican senators tit 2:15 o'clock this morning, elected, on the 48th ballot, State Senator George H. Cobb, of Watertown, sen ate republican leader and president pro-tem to succeed Snntor Jothanr P. Alius, aecusea oi Having accepted a bribe, resigned. The result of the election is a re pudiation of Senator Root's assump lion that lie is the leader of the re publican party in New York and is or great significance as a forecast of the decision that; there will be no fur ther investigation of the bribery scandals brought, up by the Allds in vest igation alter the present hearing by the senate. The election is also a defeat for Coventor Hughes, who had lined np with the administration fur the elec tion of Senator Harvey D. Ilinmuu, of Binghamton. Hinman was recog nized as the leader in the light for the policies of Governor Hughes. The final vote, coming after a bat tle of six hours, was: Cobb, 17; Hinman, 13; Davis, 3: not voting, 2. The election di, not end the excite ment. Until dawn after the dispersal of the caucus, the law-makers fore gathered in agitated groups and they were all up early to talk it over again. Senator George A. Davis, of Erie, who presides at the Allds hearing, was the first candidate in the race for the place. Then Cobb came to the fore and the national administra tion later atlvanced Hinman in Davis' place. The defeat of Hinman is today re garded as the most important devel opment in republican history of many years. Its effect on the party's atti tude in the Albany corruption cases, and the defeat of Hughes, are of tre mendous interest in view of the com ing elections and the known anxiety of the president and other national leaders, who are backing up Hughes for a clean state m New York, over the outcome. The question heard on every side today is "what will they do next?" In the beginning of the caucus the Cobb men polled 14 to 9 votes each for Hinman and Davis. lAgain and again the Cobb men voted down motions to postpone the decision for a week. In this they had the support of the Davis faction. The Taft-Root- Hughcs faction was defeated in these attempts by votes of 19 to 13 and IS to 14. The endeavors of the national ad ministration to elect Hinman were not confined to Root's telegram. Governor Hughes, abandoning his us ual policy not to mix in political fights, watched the caucus closely, at the state house and orders direct from the white house, Senator Root Vice President Sherman and other New Yorkers in Washington, were sent to Senators Witter, MeKenzie and others, directing them to put up the fight of their lives. Governor Hughes issued a state ment supporting Root and declaring that "this is a critical time for the reoublican nnrty in this state. The question now is: 'What does party stand for in this state?" the KOIK NEW MEM HERS.
