BECK FINDS WILSON
POLICY CONTRARY TO
THAT OF WASHINGTON
Orator at- University Day
Exercises of U. of P.
Degrees Conferred on
John G. Johnson and
Other Noted Men.
The need for preparedness on the part
of tho United States to enforce respect and
repel Insult was emphasized by James M.
Heck, of New York, former Assistant At
torneyGeneral, speaking as tho orator of
the day at tho 17oth University Day excr
clses'ot tho University of Pennsylvania In
the Academy of Muslo today,
Mr. Beck's address'on "Tho Foreign
Policy of George Washington" followed
the conferrlnsof tho degree of'Doctor of
Laws on Joh'n G. Johnson In the presence
of the trustees, distinguished visitors and
nh'o-Wultent bW'6rthe'UhlversTtyr THe'
academy was crowded to tho doors.
Mr. Bock dwelt upon the declarations of
'Washington that tho foreign policy of
tho United States shpuld be a. strictly
neutral one, but one enforced by a
strength capable of maintaining the
dlgnUy of the Government. The Adminis
tration was lnfercntlally criticised.
"Would Washington,- of all men," asked
Mr. Beck, "accept a policy which seeks
to limit the power nnd Influence of the
Itepubllo to the Western Hemisphere, and
which attempts to surrender tho world
wlde and beneficent Influence In the af
fairs of man, to which tho greatness of
our people nnd the strength of our re
sources entitle us?"
Mr. Beck doubted the propriety of con
sidering Washington as the man of peace
ful submission. Ho denounced thoso "who
would forever keep tho Republic In her
swaddling clothes, and who for this pur
pose invoke tho great name of Washing
ton. They should first convince us that
if ho were President of potentially tlie
most powerful nation he would,advIse It
to yield precedence to lesser and weaker
powers." '
"If the world shall hereafter move to
the consummation of collective responsi
bility for the maintenance of interna
tional peace," he said, "and if all na
tions shall unlto to suppress any dis
turbance of the world's peace, as in the
nature of civil war, cariMt, bo that Wash
ington Intended that In such a movement
toward perpetual peace this Republic
Bhould. surround Itself by a Chinese wall
of political isolation?"

CROOKS CONFOUNDED
BY NEW FALSE FACES
Sleuths With Features Hidden
by Formidable Masks Con
front Them at City Hall.
Through tha mysterious underground
channels of the underworld a tip flashed
today. In the vernacular It was to tho
effect that the "fly' cops' got new false
faces." When the crooks who fell Into the tolls
were lined up for the regular "stick-up'1
at City Hall today several of them gazed
into new countenances. They had been
accustomed to passing before the detec
tive squad while the sleuths concealed
their features only with tho dainty ollk
mask,made popular at bal masques -which
conceal- only the eyes and a portion ot
the nose.
Today the sleuths looked the prisoners
over behind a formidable shelter. For the
purpose of protecting his men from the
dangers due to recognition by dangerous
Characters Detective Captain Cameron de
cided on larger masks. They were tried
out for the first Umo this morning, there
by causing much surprise and not a lit
tle chagrin among the captives, who were
unable to recognize their enemies.
The new masks cover the faces of the
detectives entirely. They are made of
black silk, with narrow silts for eyes,
nnd cover the face of the guardian ot
the law from the eyebrows to the chin.
Even, the neck is 'concealed from view.
Matty detectives liave lost their lives
In this city as a result of testimony given
by them In the course ot the dally
"stick-up," which is the routine 'lining
up every day of the prisoners before' the
detectives. The new masks, It Is be
lieved, wilt' obviate danger and also
make the "ticks" less liable, to Identifica
tion when on 'the trail ot criminals.

would be no patronage for the road In
this section and the cost would be ad
ditional hundreds of thousands of dollars
without any prospect ot adequate return,
such as Is assured under the Taylor plap.
The reason- for the "Joker" found today
Is this:
TheFlnancQ Committee drew up the
substitute ordinance merely for the
purpose of delay, '
It sent the irortheastorn line three
miles beyond Bridge street, to Rhawn
street, because It wished to nullify
the wish of "the pe'opTo at this time.
Its pUrposq In sending the road to
Rhawn street wad to prevent the
special $0,000,000 transit loan election it
recommended in its ordinance.
"JOKEa" INVITES VETO.
The "Joker" In the ordinance Is this
. It was realized by the Finance Com
mittee that the" .Public Service Com
mission would never authorize or per
mlt the construction of an elevated road
beyond Bridge street, trie limit of north
eastern population, and that It would con
demn It as unnecessary and unwise.
The ordinance would come before th '
Public Service Commission for puroosej.i
of review and approval alter the measure
was passed by. Councils and authorized
by the people.
In Its move to delay and prevent tha
speedy consummation, of rapid transit,
therefore, the Finance Committee tie.
Ilberately Inserted a 'provision which It
knew would result In preventing a speedy
start on the transit plans and which
would, after the special election the lat
ter part of next month, result In -a pro.,
hlbltlon of 'the Rhawn - street extension
by 'the State Commission as against
public policy.
