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.

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?"

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.

Advocates of the Taylor real rapid transit plan announced today that they had discovered the intent of- the great big "jokor" In tfie substi tute transit ordinance Intro duced In Councils by tho Fi nance Committee. Tho substitute ordinance provides for an elevated joad to Rhawn street,' Frankford. 'three miles beyond UltiaKsstrpet, .tha icrmlnOa j?f he. north-, easix-m lino unaer me aayjor plan. Tha Flnatice Committee ordinance would continue the northeastern cteydled road from Bridge street, through three mites of sparsely settled farm country. There 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.
