OVERBROOK AGAINST
P. R. R. PLANS FOR
FREIGHT YARD THERE
BERLIN CELEBRATES ARRIVAL QF WAR TROPHIES
Residents Say Smoke and
Engines Would Ruin Mal
vern Avenue Homes.
Want Road Electrified.
Residents of Overbrook or making- a
decided stand against the Pennsylvania
Railroad, which purposes the building
of large freight yards In that suburb
and the laying of a new road which I
will be Used for freight transportation
from Glanloch and Fraier to the Pfnn
sylvnnla Railroad wharves at the foot i
of Washington avenue, via Overbrook
and 52d street. Thy say the road as '
now planned will ruin the handsome
residential district.
The railroad was granted a franchise
by the city of Philadelphia for the
carrying out of this plan In 1305. This
expires In 1915. Since the company has
not begun the wotk It would be lm
possible to complete It before the time
limit expires, and therefore the com
pany has applied for an extension on
the permit. The citizens of Overbrook,
represented In the Overbrook Associa
tion and the Overbrook Club, have mad'
such a vigorous protest that the City ,
Council has Informed the rallrond that
It will have to com to some under- ,
etandlng with the citizens of that !o- i
callty before the permit will be ex
tended. That part of the Pennsylvania Flail- i
road's project whlrh Is most objectionable
to residents of Overbrook Is the fact .
that the nw In-coming line will run to '
the proposed freight yard along Mai- i
vern avenue, a handsome residential dls- '
trfct, which would be ruined by the j
smoke of the engines that would con- '
stantly be passing along the line. The
freight yard will not be electrified, ac- ,
cording to the plans projected hy the i
company, nnd so would ruin, the resl- I
dents say. the extensive rpalrinntn rf. I
velopments which are being carried on
between Overbrook and Wynnefield.
NOT TO ELECTRIFY YARDS
In referring to this point, John J.
Coylc. president of the Overbrook Asso
ciation. Hald that the city of Philadel
phia would lose froni J100.000 to $150.0vO
annually In taxes alone through the
depreciation In value of real estate In
that neighborhood, which would prob
ably he at least 50 per cent. He believes
that the company's claim that it would
be Impossible to electrify a freight yard
of such magnitude as theirs is to be is
untrue, for he says that not only the
members of the Overbrook Committee,
but also representatives of the City
Council, have visited the electrified yards
of other cities nnd are convinced that
the proposition could not only be handled
here, but that It could be profitably
managed.
But rather than electrified lines and
freight yards, the people of Overbrook
would have the railroad extend their
present spur line connecting th Wnh
llngton street wharves with Newtown
Square, via Fvrnwood, to Glenloch and
Frazcr, rutting out the Overbrook nnd
82d street yards. This, they claim, could
be done at vastly smaller expense and
at a saving .if considerable mileage, and
Incidentally leaving the fashionable resi
dential sections of Overbrook undisturbed.
The railroad's plan us It now stands Is
to extend the J.'d street yards to Over
brook, eventually laying 100 tracks for
this purpose. These lines would pass
underneath the Main Line paesenger
tracks at Malvern avenue, nnd continue
out thnf avenue ns a low-rrarie line
toward th Newtown Square and Fernwoid
bran h. not joining that road, however,
but turninc mirth nnd running directly
to Glenloch and Frazer. The only tun
neling which uould be done would bo on
that part of Malvern avenue which lies
between the Main Line and the Blind
Asylum. There would be no means of
crossing the Pennsylvania lines between
Sid street nnd Mth.
CONDEMNS PLAN OF P. R. R.
In commenting on the situation this
morning, John J oylo said: "We feel
that the Pennsylvania Railroad has been
granted greater concessions hy her na
tive State and city than any other rail
road In the world, and that In return for
these advantages It has not only failed
to show Its appreciation, but has shower
ed favors on other cities and States to
the exclusion of Philadelphia and Penn
sylvania. It has erected a magnificent
terminal In New York nnd has electri
fied Its lines entetlng that city; but not
only refuses to dr. ns much for Philadel
phia, but wishes, on the other hand, to
ruin one of the city's finest suburbs."
Yesterday a committee of Overbrook's
citizens visited the scene of the pro
posed changes. They are to report at
a meeting to be held to discuss ways
and means of bringing the railroad to
terms.
PALMER IN THE FIGHT
AGAINST PENROSE TO END
Challenges Plnchot to Name Any
Authoritative Cull for Him to Quit.
TOWANDA. Pa . Sept. 21. Congress
man A. Mitchell Palmer, candidate for
the United State Senate, to succeed Ho!ea
Penrose, arrived here shortly before noon
today from Carbon County, through which
he campaigned yesterday Last night he
addressed two enthusiastic mass-meetlngj
at Mauch '"hunk and Lehlghton.
Those who have 'ueen predicting a
harmonious fusion compact between Rep
resentative Palmer and Glfford Plnchot,
whereby Mr. Palmer would withdraw in
favor of the former Chief Forester, re
ceived a decided shock when the Con
gressman challenged Mr. Plnchot to pro
ducr the name of a single Democratic
countv chairman who has Buggered that
he withdraw In favor of Mr. Plnchot
"I do not belong to the withdraw
famllv." declared Mr Palmer, "and if
any one thinks that Mr. Plnchot stands
for better government than 1 do let him
vote for Mr Plnchot. I would be untrue
to thr partv that nominated ma If I did
not continue to carry Its banner, and 1
believe I will carry It on to victory."
In his Indictment of Senator Penrose,
made on the latter's own record In Wash
ington, rnngresican Palmer presented a
count to show that Penrose in the Senate
had been a champion etraddler on meas
ures that 'onrerned railroads. Standard
OH and other Interests, and that he con
lltiuallv favored the corporations as
against the people.
PITTSBURGH. Pa.. Sept. 34 "A.
Mitchell Palmer will bo the Democratic
candidate for I'nited States Senator right
on up to election day. After that he will
be United States Senator-elect, all maslp
of his withdrawal In favor of Olfford
FlnChut notwithstanding." declared Ro
land S Morris, Democratic State Chair
man, In the Fort Pitt Hotel today
Mr- Morris Is In Pittsburgh arranging
for a speaking tour of the western part
Of thi State by Mr Palmer and Vance
C. McCormick. Democratic candidate for
Gove-nor. the first week of October.
"You hear a lot of talk about the antl
Penrose etrength being divided between
Palmer and Plnchot. That Is not a cor
rect view of the situation at all." said
Mr. Morris. "It Is the ant!-Palmr
strength that Is divided. The nuniDer or
Democrats who are going to vote the.
Washington party ticket Is negligible.
These probably would return to th Re
publican ranks should Plnchot withdraw.
Thua hU retirement would do Palmer no
good. Palmer ha nothing to lose and
a grwat deal to (ftta If Plnchot stays In

ROOSEVELT ASSERTS
Liberator's Name Merely
Mask for Corrupt Organi
zation Which Departs
Radically From His Fund
amental Principles.
GALESBURG, 111.. Sept. 21. -Colonel
Roosevelt swung hard upon the Repjl
llcan Progressive amalgamated move
ment In an address here today t at
opened a two-day speaking tour of I'..i
nols In behalf of Raymond Robins. Fri
gresslve candidate for the Senate. He
attacked Senator Penrose In the course
of his remarks.
"It is the veriest absurdity to ask nnv
Progressive to go back to the Republi
can ranks." said the Colonel. "The men
who arc true to the principles and prac
tice of Abraham Lincoln tan be trie
only by adhering to the principles and
practices of Lincoln, and leaving the
party of their youth exactly ns he left
the party of his youth when that party
ceased to be an instrument for saving
the people. It is a profanation to Invoke
the great name of Lincoln to cover the
party organization which is responsible
for Barnes and Penrose.
"The Democratic party has not only
shown itself, ns always, utterly Incom
petent to Insure efficient legislation for
far-reaching consequence to the public,
but has kept true to Its past record of
promlse-hreaklng and of the falsification
of Its works by its deeds."
Colonel Theodore Riosevelt opened his
two-day campaign today by addressing
students of Augustana College at Rock
Island, and appealing to too voters In
Market Square here. Later he left for
Knnx '"nlleRP. where he spoke at noon.
He will address a gathering In Peoria
on his way to Springfield, whero he will
dine with Governor Dunne and speak in
the armory tonight.
Colonel Roosevelt was out of bed In
Rock Island at 6:15 a. m. and shaved
himself while a half hundred boys, eyes
nnd mouth open wide, peered through
the windows of his compartment on the
train.
"Gee, he's In his undershirt," said one
urchin with seeming disdain. Somehow
he couldn't quite believe thnt a former
President of the I'nlted States would
shave In his undershirt.
DES MOINES. la.. Sept. 24 In a
speech made hero last night by Theo
dore Roosivelt, a personal attack was
directed at I'nlted States Senator Cum
mins for what the Colonel alleged to be
shortcomings in the Senator's pledged al
legiance to the people. He declared Sen
ator Cummins, the regular Republican ,
nominee for re-election, failed of his
oppoitunlty when the Cummins organi
zation remained Bepubllcan after Taft's
nomination in Chicago.
"Senator Cummins nnd those who train
with him around the track." said the
ex-Pr'sMent, "cannot be true to the old
time principles of Lincoln's day ns long
as they continue their nsoclntion with
the utterly reactionary Republican ma
chines as now controlled in the nation
and In the largest and most populous
States. Wo must not let our loyalty to
a name blind u to existing facts. The
Iowa Progressives, when In 1914 they op
pose Mr Cummins, otand exactly where
the Republicans stood In 1333 when they
opposed Mr Douglas."

Letters to Citizens' Commit
tee Show Remarkable
Sympathy of Independent
Voters With His Candi
dacy. Louis J. Kolb, treasurer of tho Dr.
Martin G. Brumbaugh Citizens Commit
tee and an Independent In politics, said
today that Dr. Brumbaugh was making
one of the most wonderful campaigns over
witnessed in this state. To his host of
friends, his wide circle of acquaintances
nnd his absolute sincerity Mr. Kolb at
tributed Dr. Brumbaugh's success.
"His Institute work," Mr. Kolb said,
"has gained him thousands of friends,
who remember him for the great work
ho has accomplished In advancing tho
educational facilities In this state."
Mr. Kolb criticised tho action of tho
Washington Party State Committee nt
Harrlsburg last week In Indorsing Vance
C. McCormick as the guDernatorlal candi
date in place of William Draper Lewis.
"This was a violation," Mr. Kolb de
clared, "not only of the spirit, but of
the letter of the Stnto-wlde primary net.
The action of the Washington Party
committee has caused thousands to de
clare themselves for Dr. Brumbaugh
"The Washington party set Itself up
to stand for the best In the Republlcnn
party. I wonder If this Is what they
call tho best? By what right can 15
men withdraw a candidate whom 50.000
havo nominated?"
Praise of Doctor Brumbaugh as a
man. expressions of confidence In his
ability as a Governor and Interesting
Mdellghts upon the campaign through
out tho State were contained in letters
received today at the headquarters of th
Brumbaugh Citizens' Committee,
Howard E. Butz, of Huntingdon, wrote:
"There are no Brumbaugh laggards up
here. The sell-out of the Progressives has
disgusted the conscientious followers of
T. R.. and you can say that men who
were on the doubtful list are now active
in his behalf. Tell the chief to be of
good chror. The whole Infernal outfit
Pitched against him can't lick him or
taint him In the least. All he needs to
do Is to keep telling the people tho God's
truth."
Isaac N. Bhoffner, of Phoenlxvllle,
wrote:
"I am pleased with the situation as
your campaign advances. I was a little
anxious to know what Roosevelt was
going to do; but Lewis nas done you u
wonderful favor in withdrawing In sup
port of McCormick. The Progressives
around here will not stand that. Oh, no!
They will vote for you. You have dono

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The confer

bill will be called up for consideration
In tho Senate today, provided Senator
Culborson, chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, fecla that the time Is 0p.
portune. Ho gavo notice when he sub.
mlttcd the report last night that h
would ask to have It taken up at the
earliest possible moment,
An effort will bo mndo to have th
report disposed of In tho Senate anj
tfotiso before next Monday, bo that th
President may sign the Federal Trad
Commission bill and tho Clayton antl.
trust bill at tho same tlmo. The l
days which the President has to slgq
tho Trade Commission bill before It au.
tomatlcally becomes a law will have ex.
plred next Monday night.
A hard fight against the adoption of
the conference report Is expected in tin
Senate, however, nnd It may take several
days to get a vote on It. Senator Reed,
ot Missouri, among the Democrats Is
particularly bitter ngalnBt tho report, be
llevlng that It has been much weakened
In conference. He la disappointed In th
elimination of several penalty clauses.
Bitter opposition will be found to the
conference report also among the Pm.
gresslve Republicans who consider that
tho teeth has been drawn from the bill by
tho conferees.
Suggestions that a lobby has been
active In opposition to certain provisions
of the Clayton bill have been frequently
made hero during the last week, and
Senator Reed may demand nn Investiga
tion by tho Senate Lobby Committee, of
which Senator Overman la chairman.
INDIVIDUALS HELD nESPONSIBLB.
Section 14 of tho bill says In part:
Whenever a corporation shall violate '
any of tho penal provisions of tho
anti-trust laws, such vlolatlsn shall
be deemed to bo also that of the
Individual directors, ofllcers or agents
of such corporation who shall have
authorized, ordered or done any of
the nets constituting In whole or In
part such violation, and such viola
tion shall be deemed a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction therefor of any
such director, ofllcer or agent ho shall
be punished by a fine of not exceed
ing, JjOOO or by Imprisonment for not
exceeding one year, or by both, in
tho discretion of the court.
The conferees fought for days over
tho price-fixing and antl-"tylng" pro
visions. Finally sections two nnd four,
which tho Senate struck out ot the House
bill, wore reinstated, but with the crim
inal penalty clauses cut out. In their
present form, they read In part:
Section 2. That It shall be unlawful
for any person engaged In commerce
In the course of such commerce, either
directly or Indirectly, to discriminate
In price between different purchasers
of commodities, where the ef
fect of such discrimination may bo

of commerce: Provided, that nothing
herein contnlned shall prevent dis
crimination In price between purchas
ers of commodities on account of dif
ferences In tho grnde, quality, or
quantity of the commodity sold, or
that makes only duo allowance for
difference In the cost of selling or
transportation, or discrimination In
price In the same or different com
munities made In good faith to meet
competition; and provided, further,
that nothing herein contained shall
prevent persons engaged In selling
goods, wares, or merchandise In com
merce from selecting their own cus

of the lessor or seller, whero tho effect
of such a lease, snli or contract for

Section 12 provides that a corporation
