$500,000,000 FOR
Program of "Government
Building" Being Consid
ered by Wilson
LEADERS ASSURE A I D
Chief Executive, Daniels and
Garrison Agree on National
Defense Measure
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-A program of
"Government building" excelling' any
thing In American history will follow the
half-bllllon-dollar appropriation which
the Administration expects Congress to
provide at the coming session for re-
habitation of the army nnil navy. This
information comes today from the high-
'--- est sources.
Consideration of the defense program
j has heretofore evoked a long-drawn-out
discission. In Congress over the building
of warships by private firms, over tho pur-
. chaie of powder, 3yid ammunition from
corporations and tMe relative' merits "t
supplies furnished by contract or manu
factured by tho Government per specifi
cations. Advocates of .Government manu
facture of nmmunltlon hsvo solidified a
following and at this session are expected
to make a formidable fight for Govern
ment powder-manufacturing plants" The
success; which; has qttemled the-building
, of warships at navy yards Is expected o
advance the plan of tho Government
manufacture of Its war vessels.
The fact that American manufacturers
of war supplies are now working over
time, on contracts for foreign Govern
ments Is also a determining Tactor.
It was learned from an nuthorltatlvo
source today that one of the Impelling
reasons for Secretary Daniels appoint
ment of an advisory board was the desire
to have a body of experts at hand for
consultation on this plan of government
building1.
5 President Wilson, It Is known, has been
assured by Congressional leaders that a
tf3OO.C00.O0O program of defense rehabili
tation will "go through" Congress pro
vided that program takes n new course.
The group of Congressmen who have
heretofore fought defense, bills becauso
of the huge profits they gave to the
armor plate and powder trusts would glvo
full support to a plan for Government
plants for manufacture of nrmor nnd
powder. Letting of contracts to cither
of the trusts or the big shipbuilding com
panies for a huge naval building- pro
Brain would line the group up with the
"little navy" advocates and seriously en
danger tho navol program.
One further factor w'hlch It In said has
led the President and Secretaries Garri
son and Daniels to agree on a govern
mental building program Is the fact that
the United States In this event need not
turn over secrets of construction to
private firms.
Exactly how the defense appropriation
shall be divided, how many submarines,
battle cruisers, destroyers, etc., shall be
constructed In the navy; how many field
guns, of what nature, etc., shall be built
for the army Is something over which
Daniels, Garrison and the President are
working now. But It Is authoritatively
learned that no matter how the Adminis
tration determines to spend the money,
a large part of it will be for supplies nnd
Implements of -war made by Govornmcnt
plants.
STATE FIRE FIGHTERS
IN STRONG' ARRAY
Continued from race One
tlmated that $100,000 could be made for
the pension fund In this" way. Now that
the convention, with the attendant fes
tivities, la being held here. It Is said
such a fete la out of the question.
After Chief William II. Murphy had de
clared his opposition to the convention.
It Is charged that Judge Bonnlwell went
to Mayor Blankenburg and Director Por
ter and suggested that the firemen be In
vited to convene here this year. At that
time Unlontown, It Is said, was bidding
for the convention. The Mayor and the
Director, not being familiar with tho plans
of Chief Murphy, acquiesced, believing
that Judge Bonnlwell, who Is solicitor for
the State Association, had full power to
siiggest such an Invitation.
It is charged now that Judge Bnnnlwcll
wanted the convention here In order that
he mlg;ht hnve a better chance to 'be
elected president. It is also charged that
he sent, letters to firemen throughout the
State asserting that his 'candidacy had
Deen sr.qorsea rjy Battalion Ch ef Nal n-
jrer, former president of the State asso
ciation and now chairman of Its Law
Committee, and others. Battalion Chief
Nalllnger denies that he indorsed Judge
Bonnlwell,
Another objection to Judge Bonnlwell
U that he Is not a practical fireman,, He
has. been president of the Ilndnor Fire
Cornpany for six years and was vice pres
ident of the State Association in 1913-14.

The story o7 bringing the convention to
' Philadelphia Af tola by Judg.e.JJppnlwell
differs materially from that; -of the tire-
men, He said that he"" was asked by
State officers to see If Philadelphia would
. entertain the delegates to the fcnventlon
becauso no other plaO wanted It. He
aid that Fire Chief Murphy had full
knowledge of everything that went on,
' and that nothing was done without Mr.
Murphy's knowledge.
"Murphy's vanity Is affected," said
Judge Bonnlwell, "because he wants to
be the whole show and Is not. The Direc
tor of Publlo Safety Is the head of the
fire department and not Chief Murphy,
Everything, that was done was with the
consent of Dlreotor Porter, who asked tho
Mayor to Invite the convention to this
citr."
"I was not playing politics. I am a
booster for Philadelphia. I waa anxious
to sea a convention come to Philadelphia
because I am Interested In Philadelphia,
and will always do anything I can to
ring any convention hero. Furthermore,
waa not a candidate for president at
(tha. time. And I would not be now but
fort the fact that the foremost leaders
In the State have asked me to be.
"I! have no desire to argue the point
with Chleflurphy t have a majority

smys to the contrary, and I can ac-
now for o or the 750 baUota to be

BERRY, SUPERSEDED
AS QUARTERBACK
Penn's Star Athlete Did Not
Live Up to Form Saturday
and Grant Replaces Him
Pennsylvania's footbnll coaches this
afternoon superseded Howard Berry nt
quarterback on tho varsity eleven by ele
vating rtoy Grant to this post nryl using
Berry-on the second team'. They explain
ed that they did this becauso Berry did
not come up to expectations In Satur
day's game against Franklin nnd Mar
shall. It was their Intention to put the
first team In chargo of Bert Bell, but Bell
turned up today so badly bruised from
Saturday's game that they merely gave
him a little preliminary exercise.
It Is not tho Intension of the coaches to
permoncntly displace Berry unless Bell or
Grant should show something sensational.
They want Berry to lenrn how to tackle
and Interfere. When he does theso things
well, they think ho will be absolutely sure
of his post. ,
Most of the men came out of tho Frank
tln and Marshall game without a scratch.
Williams and Qulglcy, both of whom had
to leave the gamo nt different times on
account of Injuries, are not seriously hint
and will be ready for duty against Stale
on Saturday. Qulglcy had to have several
stitches taken In his scalp. Williams was
accidentally kicked on the head but is
fully recovered now.
The coaches spent more of the nftei
noon In pointing out the mistakes the
men made on Saturday. They em
phasized In particular the necessity of
better tackling nnd better Interference
for tho backs.
Foster Sanford, the coach of the
Ilutgers team, was a visitor to Franklin
Field today. In quest of n game with the
Quakers. Ills request that the Bed nnd
Blue play his team on November C or 1.1
astounded the Pennsylvania authorities
because their schedule is absolutely
filled. Dartmouth Is played on November
C, In Boston, and Michigan on November
13, on Franklin Field. Then Sanford
asked for n game on Election Day, No
vember 2, but the Pennsylvania men
would not consider It.

VALENTINES WIN FIRST
LEG OF WIDENER RACE
Stirring Contest for $1000 Cup
Marks Bryn Mawr Horse
Show
By a Staff Corrtavondcnt
BRYN MAWII, Oct. 4.-The first leg
on the Wldencr $1000 gold challenge cup
was won by Mr. nnd Mrs. John It. Val
entino on their mounts Fallan nnd Chor
agus at the Bryn Maur Horse Show this
afternoon.
Tho cup presented by Joseph K.
Vldener was the most coveted reward
offered nt the exhibition. It must lie won
three times for permanent ownership, It
having been competed for the first time
this year.
Mr. nnd Mrs. Valentine won tho event
after a stirring competition with 10 other
entries of champion calibre. Only n
hair's breadth separated the decisions in
the class. Bioad Bun nnd Colonel Liv
ingston, ridden by Inaac Clothier ond
Fred Phillips, respectively, got the red,
with A. J. A. Devcrcux and Victor
Mather, on Bail rK nnd Grasshopper,
the last In the money.
The competition called for teams of
two mounts negotiating the jumps on
the outside course nt safo hunting dis
tance. MIt-s Constance Vauclaln's "The Whip"
carried off tho honors in the class for
the Bryn Mawr Challenge Cup. Miss
Vauclaln won last year with Pandora
and must win again next year to retain
the trophy permanently. The cup Is
valued at $250. The same horse won the
blue In another championship class un
der slightly different conditions.
Her entries have far and away excelled
any others in the harness classes nt the
Horse Show this year. A blue went to
her also in the pony harness champion
ship 'class with Angus and Alert.
W. Lurman Stewart, of Baltimore, who
has had more than his share of hnrd luck
at the Bryn Mawr Horse Show, figured In
another spill today when Lone Ben, a
horse of John B. Vnlentlnc, fell nt one of
the Jumps, throwing him heavily. Al
though shaken up und bruised, hp was not
seriously Injured. Mr. Stewart's falls
have been numerous during the present
show, through no fault of his own, but
because of the chnnces every rider of
spirited horses takes.
The first two championship classes of
the day, one for harness ponies nnd the
other for saddle horse, went to Miss
Constance Vauclaln's Bantam nnd F.
Ambrose Clark's Supplement, respective
ly. Delchester Farms' Supreme was next
bst in the harness event, and Miss A ana
maker's Imperial Princess in the harness
class.
Other winners were Miss Vauclaln's
Princess Sheila, Strontla Farms' Warwick
and Oscar Seelcy's Folly.
An Interesting event is that for which
tho prize Is the third Radnor Chal
lenge Cup, offered by Archibald Barklle.
This prize must be won three times. Val
ley Hill Farms' Wild Irishman has one
leg on It and Robert L. Gerry's Hnmsah
another Both these horses will mako a
try at It today.
Other special prizes have been offered
by Charles E. Mather. S. D. Riddle and
Henry L. Collins In various hunter

STORY OF ACCIDENT
One of Nine Men Saved From
Tunnel Narrates Experi
ences of Brave Band
POTTSVILLB, Pa., Oct. 4. The nine
men rescued yesterday afternoon from
the Foster tunnel of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company are doing well under
the treatment they are receiving at the
Couldale State Hospital. They are guarded
against being Interviewed, for the sur
geons require that they be kept perfectly
quiet. It is believed that all the men will
recover.
Elmer Harron, one of the men, gave out
a statement at the hospital telling how
tho air, becoming compressed by the
stream of water, knocked them down and
rendered them senseless for several sec
onds. Reviving, ho and his companions
went to the gangwuy below to ascertain
the cause and they climbed along the
air pipe to the chuto where the rush of
water came. They climbed through four
chutec and they discovered that they
were Imprisoned, and that their way of
escape had been cut off by a vast barrier
of coal and rock.
They crawled to Chute 21, Lahonlck
went up Chute 24 to ascertain If there was
a way of escape. The others continued to
crawl along the pipes until they came to
Chute 27, where they stayed until they
were rescued. The running stream of
sulphur water was not palatable, so they
drank sparingly of It. They were de
prived of their lights on Tuesday, about
24 hours after they had been Imprisoned,
"FRANKLAND" PARTY
TITLE IS PRE-EMPTED

Mackey'a leadership, has failed to carry
it, except onpe In recent years.
Organization leaders themselves have
said within the last few days that they
do not expect to carry the ward for
Thomas II. Smith, their "harmony" can
illdate, but that they are planning the
nardest kind of a fight there In an efrort
to line up votes. In the primary election
Smith received only 1000 more votes than
Porter, and the full Organization strength
In tho ward was polled. Not half of the
registered votes was cast.
Facing the probability of an over
whelming Porter victory In the ward on
November 2, sweeping Into office the In
dependent candidates for Councils the
Organization pre-empted the Franklin
party title In a majority of the divisions
and pre-empted the "FTankland" party
title to confuse the Independent voters in
the ward.
Th( Legal Committee of the Franklin
party today announced Us Intention of
.testing the legality of pre-empting a title
so similar to the one previously pre
empted for the ward by the Independents.

GREECE ARMS TO AID
ALLIES IN BALKAN WAR
Continued from Paze One
less to aid and support Greece that tha
Allies arc at Salonlkn. Franco and Eng
land enter tho Balkans ns traditional
friends nt Greece, nnd not otherwise
The Greek Government has seized tho
Macedonia railroads, of which two are
Austrian and one French.
Hvery Indication today Pointed to the
actual participation of Bulgaria In the
Kuropenn war within eight hours.
Bussla Is expected to declaro war on
Bulgaria tomorrow, bringing tho 13th
Huropean power Into tho great conflict.
Tho Teutonic grip upon Bulgaria Is so
strong thot hope of preventing that na
tion from going to war on tho side of
the centrnl Powers has been abandoned.
Itussl.Vs ultimatum, which was timed to
expire at 4 o'clock this afternoon (Petro
grad time; 9 n. m. Philadelphia time),
furnishes the Allies with a' casus belli.
A tllspatch ftom retrogrnd slates that
M. Bavlnsky. tho nusslan Minister to
Bulgaria, has prepared to leavo Sofia this
oenlng, having no hope that tho Busslan
ultimatum would rccclvo a favorable an
swer. If any nt all, from King Ferdi
nand's Government.
Bussla hns prepared to attack Bulgaria
by land nnd by sea. Part of tho Busslan
Black Sea fleet has been mobilized to
attnek the Bulgarian ports of Varna,
Bui gas nnd Aktebal. Six hundred thou
eonu Busslan troops have been mobilized
at Odessa.
Kxtrcmo pressure Is being brought to
bear ngatnst Bumanla by the Teutonic
allies to compel her to remain neutral,
but this Is being combnttcd by equal
pressure frbm the Entente Powers. Bu
mania lies between Bulgaria and Bussla,
and In order to put an enemy upon Bul
garian soil Busslan troops would have to
penctrato Rumanian territory unless they
were sent hy transport, which would bo
a dangeious and tedious operation.
A powerful Austro-Germnn army has I
been raasscn upon me uanuuo near m
Rumanian frontier In order to overawo
the Rumanian Government. Most of
these troops ns well as a majority of tho
2000 guns that support them have been
drawn from Poland nhd Gallcla.
It Is reported that Field Marslnl von
Hlndenberg, of tho German nrmy, has
been selected to direct operation of the
Austro-German nnd Bulgarian troops in
the drle through Scrvla to Turkey.
Athens leports that the German Gen
eral Stnff hits selected Wednesday for
tho opening of tho great offensive against
Servin.
The Busslan ultimatum Is approved
both heic and In Purls. A portion of the
Loudon press hns demanded for several
dnys that the Allies force Bulgaria's hand
before sho had completed her mobilization
by issuing an ultimatum, tho Bulgarian
Czar having failed to reply to a friendly
note Inquiring nboul his Intention").
An eleventh-hour change of policy on
the part of Bulgarln Is believed almost
too remote n possibility to be considered.
It Is thought likely that Czar Ferdinand
may make nn effort to prolong tho nego
tiations with Russia until he completes
his military measures. It Is understood
here that Bussla will accept any attempt
at delay as cause for nn Immediate dec
laration of war to be followed hy similar
declarations from all the Allies.
According to advices from Bucharest,
Field Marshal von Mackeuscn, with 230,
000 troops withdrawn from the Russian
front, has arrived ut tho Servian frontier
and will direct the Austro-Gcnnnn march
on Constantinople, according to the news
paper Epocha, Von Mnckensen is said
to have established headquarters at
Versez.
This report is not confirmed from any
other source. It Is n fact, however, that
the Austro-German centre, commanded
by Mnckensen, has made no progress
against the Russians for nbout 10 days,
though the Russians ver,o not presumed
to bo In Inrgo forco east of Plnsk Dis
patches fiom Swiss source hlnted that
the troops for the Balkan campaign were
being withdrawn from Mackensen's nrmy.
Hostilities may begin In the Balkans this
week. Fifty thousand Bulgarian troops
already havo arrived nt the Servian fron
tier, ready for the first blow. Bulgaria's
mobilization Is virtually completed.
Athens dispatches today said three. fifths
of the Bulgar strength Is to bo thrown
against Servla nnd two-fifths against
Greece. Czar Ferdinand apparently Is
confident of Rumanian neutrality and has
but few troops stationed along the Ru
manian frontier.
One Athens dispatch today declared It
was reported from Vienna that the Austro-German
attack on Servla Is to begin
today or tomorrow, Bulgaria entering the
war a few hours later.

Tho Russian General Staff in comment

Tho German wedge pointing toward No

failure of this great German effort, made
with two corps of cavalry nnd eight In

Improved the Russian position, as It Is
not believed the Teutons will be able for

of cannon cannot be heard. The only

einmcKt leguhitlon of the Stock Ex
change that will convert It Into the great'
lei-'itimnto and responsible security mar
ket of the country which is its high and
honorable function."
Untermyer's letter to the Rev. Mr.
Relsner, In part, follows:
"I ought, perhaps, to preface any an
swers to your inquiries by explaining
that I have never bought stocks on mar
gin or credit, and have never been con
cerned In a ehort salo or speculated In
the stock market. But as an Investor
and a lawyer, who for upward of 35 years
has been Intlnyitely connected with the
affairs of corperatlons and who ft fa
miliar with the machinery of tho stock
exchange, I have no hesitation In answer
ing your first question by saying that
It Is worse than hopeless for the average
man to expect to amass a fortune or to
make money by dealing In the stock
market My experience Is that In the
end thoy all lose. They do not lose all
tho time, but they do lose all In time.
My advice to, you is to urge them to
keep as far away as possible frtan.tlie
contagion of speculation, nnd esperlnlly
to warn them against the present fever
of speculation, and al no tlinc to buy
stocks except to the extent to which they
can pay for them in full as an Invest
ment, and then only nfter n thorough
Investigation of the merits of tho property
based on normal conditions
"Above nil things I nijvise that In mnk
Ing their Investments they keep nwnj
from tl'ie so-called (and In most Instance
miscalled) "war stocks," most of whieh
aie selling at greatly Inflated prices,
based on temporary conditions, which are
greatly exaggerated and accelerated by
pool manipulations and other forms of
artificial activity. In some of the most
prominent Instnnces the present ptices
reflect. In my Judgment, besides these
conditions ,a feverish ways of wild nnd.
senseless speculation that has seized the
general public, spreading like wild II re
from ocean to ocean, nnd for which the
publlo will, as usual, pay dearly Mn the
end."
