PUBLIC SERVICE
COMMISSION FACES
PERIL OF REJECTION
Brumbaugh Expected to Ask
Senate Not to Confirm
J Several Nominations.
' Gaither's Fitness Chal
lenged. Governor-elect Brumbaugh probably will
ask Ihe State Senate to refuse to confirm
tho appointment ot several members Qf
tho State Public Service Commission.
Governor Tcner'B nomination ot his prl--rate
secretary. Walter H. Qalther, for the
10,000 post on the commission to succeed
the Jate Judge Nathaniel Ewimj. has
brought out a storm ot protest, with the
result that the members of the Senate
will learn Governor Brumbaugh's views
before they proceed to confirm the ap
6
pointments.
Not only Mr. Galtlier'a name, but tho
name of every other member of the com
. .mission, must come before the Senate for
confirmation, They were appointed In
July, 1913, after the Legislature had ad
journed. "When Senator Vara was asked
whether he would vote to confirm Qal til
er's appointment, he said:
"You must remember that the -whole
commission has yet to be confirmed. And
as Doctor Brumbaugh Is soon to be Gov
ernor he will naturally be Interested not
only In Galther, but also in the other
appointees. This . pammlsslon will per
form Its duties "under Governor Brum
baugh as it has also been serving undjer
Governor Tener. Doctor Brumbaugh, no
doubt, has his own Ideas as to a Public
tcryice , Commission, and certainly It
would be more satisfactory to him if the
commission were in sympathy with his
Views as to public service. As the Com
mission is at present constituted. It may
or may not be satisfactory; therefore,
before I say whether or not I'll vote icf
Galther or any one else in this connec
tion, I will, as a courtesy to the new
Governor, learn his views. It's the logical
thing to do. The State -Senate, as a body,
I believe, will be- filad to have the Doc
tor's opinion."

He reiterated his determination to get

said:
"Tho effect of the Sunday meetings In
Pittsburgh had certain definite results.
"There was established a I elisions nt
moiphoro which gave a. rcmptivo bearing
to all ministers nnd Christian workers nt
any time and in any place. In a ma
terial city this Is of tho greatest Impor
tance and value. ,
"Tho strength of Jlr. Sunday's preach

"In Pittsburgh the rcmnrkablo thing

UNCLE SAM'S "O. K." MAY
STOP SEIZUBE OF SHIPS
WASHINQTON', Dec. 31,-Bellef thnt an
amicable settlement of the diplomatic Is
sue between Great Hrltnln and tho United
States regarding seizure of American
cargoes would be leached continued firm
here today.
The opinion wab held in ofllclnl quarters
that a mutual understanding might be
reached whereby legitimate cargoes could
be certified before their departure from
this country, und .thereby made immuuo
from detention.
High ofllcials of tho Washington Gov
ernment wero somewhat surprised thnt
the American note has been regarded as
"brusque" In some London quartci.s. They
said the British Cabinet, which has It
under consideration, nfter a single read
ing of the document must be convinced
thnt the United States had spoken In
the most friendly spirit, though none
the less earnestly and emphatically on
points on which It cousfdeus Itself thor
oughly justified under the laws of natlonB,
In all. It became known today, 30 Amer
ican ships and cargoes, their values total,
tng millions, have been detained. Tho
American note points out specifically,
however, that reimbursement for previfius
damages ulone cannot cure the situation,
as the activity of tho British fleet has re
strained many American exporters, whose
business has become stagnant for fear of
the numerous technicalities and risks ip.
volved In shipments.
With respect to cotton shipments, 'the
case of one or two illegitimate cargoes,
It is recognized, has caused the British
Government to suspect all shipments.
Secretary Bryan said that he had no
present Intention of Inviting any other
country to Una, yp- with the United States
In the position It has taken, He said that
the note represented a generalization ot
protests which havo been made by this
Government concerning the various selz-
urea made oy ureat Britain since the be
ginning of the war.
In event Great Britain's answer lava
stress upon the allegation referred to
by President Wilson yesterday that a
great part of the difficulty in handling of
cargoes has arisen from the fact that
iQiat American shippers have made false
manifests, (f Is bahevell, .that legislation
will be urged to Increase the fines and
-punishment for-making false manifests.
Under the present Federal statutes a
shipper who makes a false manifest is
amenable to a fine of (500 only.
Senator Walsh announced that British
cruisers held up two American cargoea
of copper last Monday. The vessels de
tained are the Swedish steamship New
Sweden, carrying 730 tons of American
copper, at Newcastle, and the Norwegian
steamship Borland, carrying eoo tons, at
Lelth. The Amer'can Smelting and Re
filling Company reported tho cases to

FRICTION IN CHARITY
KEEPS HOMELESS
MEN FROM BEDS
Wayfarers' Lodge Rejects
. Derelicts From Inasmuch
Mission Because of Op
position to Bread Line.
Charity circles were stirred today over
tho wrdcr Issued to the Wayfarers' Lodge.
liM Lombard strcot, that derelicts sent
thoro from tho Inasmuch Mission, 1011
Locust street, should not be taken In be
cause (ho Society for Organizing Charity,
Which operates the Lodge, was opposed to
the biead lino suppoitcd by the Inasmuch
Mission.
Four men who wero sent last night
from the Inasmuch Mission because there
wai no room for them there were told
they could not bo accommodated. Thev
lctiirucd to tho Inasmuch building nnd
two of tliem spent the night standing
against the wall In tho corner of a
erowded mom on tho first floor. When
George l-ontf, superintendent of the In
jflmii h, asked tho Wayfarers' lotlgc nf
fl lals win- they hnd turned nwny tho
men Un was told thnt the Ilev. Illloy
M Little, secretary of tho Society for
I Organizing Charity, hnd ordered that they
i cmiiIiI not laid' In tnen from tho Inas-
murh MIhsIoh because Mr. Lltllo did not
npproi of tho hi cud line run there.
OPPOSED TO IltlKAD LINE.
Tlinl this win the reason the four men
I wre tinned away wns confirmed this
morning by C. E. Vnndewalker, superin
tendent of the Wayfarers' Lodge. Mr.
Vnndewalker said he hail been acting
under orders fiom Doctor Little. At llrht
he lefuscd to discuss tho re.iBon tho men
had been lefused accommodation. Then
ho said:
"Wo'ro not taking tnen from the
Inasmuch Mission now because we havv
strong objections to the bread line they
run there. Yesterday I had orders from
Mr. Littlo that we were not to take In
any men the Inasmuch Mission sent to
us. The night before wo had taken in a
number of men, but I had thoso now
orders yesterday because of our opposition
to tho biead line.
It wns very hard to get any of the Or
ganized Chnrlty officials to say what they
disliked about bread lines. Doctor Lit
tle said lie would discuss It In a formal
.statement later today. Finally Mr. Vade
wnlker said:
"I don't think that the men sleeping
at the Inasmuch Mission ought to be
turned out at .1:30 In ho morning so that
the can stand In a bread line. That Is
what they do down there. Why, I sup
pose they do it to swell the size of the
line nnd make It look as though thero
weie a good many stnrvlng men who
need help,"
EMPTY HEDS AT THE LODGE.
There were empty beds at tho Way
farers' Lodge last night when the four
men wero turned away.
Down nt the Inasmuch Mission, Georgo
Long had 00 men sleeping on the llcioi
and In .oveiy available bed the mission
could muster. After the mission services
wero over, a few minutes after 10 o'clock,
the men who had gnthered dining the
evening weie assigned to pluccs for the
night. It was found thoro wero four
jneti pver. They were dispatched to the
Wayfarers' Lodge, but Inside a half hour
they weie back with the story of their
rejection.
There has been n growing disaffection
between the Society for Organizing
Charily and tho Inasmuch Mission ever
hlnce plans for tho mission wore dls
ciiFKcd two jears ago, before the build
ing at 1011 Locust street was put up.
Since then tho mission has been regarded
with disfavor by the society officials,
George Long says.
