There aro a lot of sergeants who aro

must go back to sergeants' clothes. After
today no "acting" of any kind can wear
anything but the uniform of his own

There nre clerks In City Hall who go
about with gold braid Incrusted all over
their attire ; It must be peeled off. Some
of them wear stripes like officers. The
Btrlpes must go ; thoy confuse visitors and
they confuse city employes, too.
Then there are Imaginary titles, two or

MNG0ESWILD; SHOOTS
NEGRO AS COPS LOOK ON
Brings Victim to Police Station
as "Pickpocket," Wounds Him.
Had Burglar's Kit
A man who "went wild" In the 12th
and rine streets police station this morn
ing pulled n 32-callbre revolver In Sor
geant Tolland's ofneo, nnd shot a negro
whom he had brought to tho station house
to havo locked up as a "pickpocket."
Three other shots wero fired by tho man
and endangered the lives of policemen and
detectives who were crowded' nbout him.
He gave his namo as Jesse Hesslngton,
said ho was 30 years old. nnd hnil rm
home.
Hesslngton has been arrested before.
His criminal record, ns given by tho police.
Is as follows:
May 6, 1911. Arrested for aggra
vated assault nnd battory. Dis
charged. Fobrunry 10, 1912. Larceny. Bill
Ignored by Grand Jury.
October 19, 1912. Cnrrylng con
cealed weapons. Discharged.
Juno 3, 1914. Convicted of assault
and sentenced to 18 months In prison
by Judge Wlllson,
January 17, 1916. Arrested for dls- '
orderly conduct. Sentenced to Jail for
thrco months.
Hcssl"rton first came to tho attention
of tho iVlIco shortly nfter 8 o'clock this
morning, when he marched a negro, Jnmea
Simmons, 30 years old, of 1134 Hodman
street, boforo House Sergeant Tolland.
"Here's a pickpocket I want locked up,"
he said.
Upon being questioned, Hesslngton ad
mitted that he was not a policeman, nnd
when It was announced that he. too,
would bo held for a hearing before Mag
istrate Bersch ho drew tho revolver and
fired tho four shots.
Tho first shot cut ncross the breast of
District Dotectlve Sholler, tho second
struck the negro full In the chest, the third
splintered the club of Policeman Butler
and the fourth shattered a tumbler on the
opposite side of the room.
Hesslngton was "knocked out" by a
blow under the chin from Policeman
Butler and was rushed to the Pennsyl
vania Hospital with the negro, who Is said
to bo In a serious condition.
After being treated at the hospital
Hesslngton was arraigned before Magls
trate Persch and held without ball to
await the result of Simmons' Injuries.
When the prisoner was searched a note
book with many peculiar entries was found.
Most of the notes were disconnected. On
one page was the following "No. 97222.
6:30 time. Martlndale store. Break
Stronghort, 16th and Market, Philadel
phia. Jesse Hesslngton, 200 Spruce street,
safe cracker."
In view of the notes In the book the
police believe that Hesslngton knows some.
thing about the robbery of the safe re
cently In the store of Thomas Martlndale.
Tho prisoner, according to the police, shot
a man In 1914 and served a sentence of IS
months for the deed. A full kit of bur
glars' tools and a number of prayer books
were found In his pockets.

COUNTER-PROPOSITION
MADEBYP.R.R. WOULD
CUT SOME MEN'S WAGES
Trainmen Are Told That the
Company Believes Present
Rates Adequate and Lib
eral to Employes
WILL CONSIDER DEMANDS
A counter-proposition which would ma
terially reduce the pay of certain classes
of railroad employes was made today by
S. C. Long, general manager of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, to representatives of
the four brotherhoods of railroad em
ployes who, In conjunction with repre
sentatives of 360,000 trainmen In nil parts
of this country and Canada, demanded a
readjustment of the wage schedule, giv
ing them an eight-hour day and time and
a half for overtime.
The same reply waB either handed or
mnllod to similar committees In other cit
ies by representatives of tho 468 rail
roads Involved, who aro working In con
Junction. No definite statement was made
agreeing- to arbitration, but It was said,
unofllclally, that the matter would be ar
bitrated. Tho railroads, In agreeing to
mako a reply "as soon as possible," ac
cepted tho trainmen's suggestion that the
rnllroads Join In a concerted movement
to settle tho matter.
April 29 was fixed as i. date by the
trainmen by which nn answer In writing
would ho expected. A general strike. It
was rumored, would follow an unfavorablo
decision.
No Information was given out at the of
fices of J. C. Turk, general manager of the
Philadelphia and rtendlng Ilallwny, where
a committee today presented a copy of tho
demands.
Tho counter-proposals made by the
Pennsylvania Ilallroad, simultaneously
with tho other railroads, aro:
First Thero shall bo no doublo com
pensation for the same time or service.
Second. The same classification for tho
purposo of compensation 'o bo applied to
all members of a train and engine crew,
Third. Two or more differently paid
classes of service performed In tho samo
day or trip to be paid proportionate rates
aocordlng to the class of service with not
less than a minimum day for combined
service.
The reply rend, In part, as follows:
"Your communication of March 30, giv
ing notlco of your desire to rovlse present
wage schedules and agreements, according
to certain proposals made a part of that
notice, has this day been received.
"Your request that thlB company Join In
a concerted movemont with other roads
wilt bo given consideration nnd you will bo
advised of the decision nB soon ns prac
ticable. "The present standards of rates and
working conditions havo been very largely
fixed by mediation and arbitration, and
this company feels that they are adequate
nnd even liberal to tho employes. This
company has no desire to change cither
the existing rates of pay or tho working
Klles, nor to reduce the earning possibili
ties of the employes undor their existing
rules, but Inasmuch as your proposals con
template fundamental changes In operat
ing methods nnd practices on which tho
schedules havo been built up, this com
pany hereby gives notlco In conformity
with tho schedules now In offect that In
connection with and as a part of tho con
sideration and disposition of your propo
sals thero Bhalt be open for consideration
and disposition those provisions In the
schedules or practices thereunder govern
ing compensation In tho classes of service
affected by your proposals."
Mr. Long asked the committee of em
ployes what proportion of the members of
the four brotherhoods voted to make tho
demnnds on the railroads. ThlB Informa
tion was withheld, but Mr. Long was told
that the commttteo had been duly elected
and was olllclal.
STEWARTS TO PART;
DIVORCE SUIT DROPPED
New York Broker Agrees to
Halt Action Against Wife,
Former Philadelphian
The divorce suit In Jersey City against
Mrs. Ethel A. F. Stewart, formerly a
Philadelphia girl, has been dropped by
her husband, John A. Stewart, 3d, a New
York broker, and articles of separation
have been signed, Mrs. Stewart Is a
daughter of Francis P. AbercrOmbte, of
Chestnut Hill.
One of the principal reasons for sub
stituting the separation for the divorce
was the wish to avoid the publicity which
a trial would have brought Both sides
felt alike In this respect.
JUBt what allowance was granted Mrs.
Stewart in the separation agreement Is
not known.ibut she will receive the amount
demanded. The custody of their child, a
2-year-old girl, was given to Mr. Stewart's
mother.
When the Stewarts. lived together they
made their home In Short Hills, N. J. They
were married nt Bay Head, N, J., Sep
tember 12, 1907. A year previous to that
Mrs. Stewart had obtained a divorce from
Ilobert O. Fell, of this city, whom she
married In 1900,

DANIELS FOR NAVAL
RESERVE COMPOSED OF
SEAFARING AMERICANS
Defending His Administration
of Department Before Com
mittee, He Urges Appoint
ments from Civil Life
FAVORS FORCE OF 67,952
WASHINGTON, March 30. A navat
resorvo that will Include nil kinds of "sea
faring Americans" wns strongly advocated
by Secretary of the Navy Daniels today.
The Secretary appeared beforo the House
Nanl Affairs Committee nnd vigorously
defended his course as head of tho navy.
He appoalcd for appointments from civil
llfo of experienced nvlators to become ofll
ccrs. saying that 300 are needed Imme
diately. In addition, he declared that tho
navy should appoint SO officers each year
to Its engineering corps to specialise.
"I recommend," said Daniels, "that 7600
enlisted men, 2500 npprentlce seamen, 21Gz
hospital corps men and 2000 marines bo
added to the navy. This would make
14,150 additional men, bringing the total
personnel of the navy to 07,952,
"The Genernl Board last July recom
mended 11,000 nddltlonal men. In No
vember, tho board recommended an In
crease of 14,000 men. When I mado this
estimate for 14,152 men, last October, I
had only the July recommendation before
me.
"The officers of the navy who have testi
fied hero havo given only their personal
views. Some of them havo figured on
the basis of every ship In tho navy being
In constant commission This Is not In
accordance with the policy of the navy.
When a ship goes to tho navy yard, they
contend, It should maintain Its full quota
of men. To this I havo two objections:
first, to have such a large force on tho
ship, with only a few duties to perform,
would be highly demoralizing; socond,
thoy should bo put on nn acttvo vessol, so
their training would not relax. For these
rensons tho department has adopted tho
policy of having only 40 por cont. of tho
crow on a vessel In tho navy yard.
"Former Secrotnry von Meyer left only
33 per cent, of the men on ships not In
active commission.
Socretnry Daniels stated that In Bplte
of the largo percentage of ro-enllstmentu,
It was difficult to maintain the full quota
of enlisted men. Only one out of six ap
plicants Is accepted because of the dim
cult)' in getting tho doslred type, he ex
plained, Tho enlistments of 12,875 men,
on the average, expire" every year.
"To incrcaso tho navy 15,000 men next
year," Daniels said, "wo Would havo to
enlist 28,000 new men, In addition to tho
re-enllstmentB. This would moan exam
ination of approximately 140,000 appli
cants." In his plea for compulsory education
of enlisted men, tho Secretary said slnco
Its Inauguration the number of bucIi men
entering tho Naval Academy had Jumped
very materially. "We can never have an
efficient navy nnd a good navy," he added,
"until young men enlisted renllzo that If
thoy havo the ability they maybecomo nd
mlrals." Secretary Daniels strongly favored the
reserve force of former navy men, pro
posed by Admiral Blue. A "Class B" ro
serve of merchant sailors wns urged and
a third class of men fitted to serve In the
naval establishment on shore. A fourth
class of reserves for harbor defense ves
sels nnd a fifth class, "volunteer reserves,"
were advocated. Tho latter would be com
posed of men of tho trades, engineers and
the like.
To Increase the number of officers, Dan
iels recommended:
Appointment of 30 civil engineers as of
ficers each year for ton years.
Appointment of 25 civilian aviators, each
year for five years, ns well as continuing
assignments of naval officers to the avia
tion corps.
Appointment of civilian educators nt
Annapolis, so that a majority of the 90
there would be avatlablo for active service.
Daniels emphasized the recommendation
for appointing Chilian engineers.
"The navy Is the only Institution In
America that Is not specializing," he said.
Asks $150 for Death of Dog
Suit to recover $160 damages for the
death of an English setter wns filed today
by Daniel J. Gore, 2107 South Cecil street,

PHILADELPHIANS LOSE
FIGHT ON RAILROADS
Interstate Commerce Commis
sion Tiulca in Favor of Two
Day Limit of Free Storage
Du a Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 80. Tho Com
mercial Kxchango of Philadelphia today
lost Its fight against tho Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia and Reading and other roads
for more than two days frco storago time
on shipments received nt Philadelphia.
The Interstate Commcrco Commission de
cided that the roads rulo limiting free
storage time to two days was Justified
nnd not discriminatory.
How over, In deciding thin case tho Com
mission gave one point of the victory to
the Commercial Kxchange by requiring
the cnrrlors to nmond their storago rules
to provide for nddltlonal frco storage time
when cars destined to nny one consignee
aro bunched, through whatever cause, and
are delivered In accumulated numbers In
excess of dally shipments.
Tho fight against a limit of two days
free storage tlmo began In November.
1914, Immediately after the cnrrlers
amended their rules by chnnglng tho free
time from four to two dnys.
Tho Baltimore Chamber of Commerco
Joined the Philadelphia Kxchango In Its
fight against tho rule, nnd In deciding tho
cases today tho commission mado the
samo ruling to npply at Baltlmoro as at
Philadelphia.
In Its decision tho Intcrntnto Commerce
Commission hold that stornge regulations
are Intended prlmnrlly to prevent conges
tion of carriers' terminal facilities, and
that public Interests require that freight
Bhould be removed promptly from tho cnr
rlers' terminals.
Many consignees took ndvantago of tlio
four days' free period previously allowed
at Philadelphia and unnecessarily allowed
their freight to remain In tho freight sta
tions for tho full period. Great conges
tion resulted, which rendered It difficult
fora consignee who desired to rcmovo his
freight promptly to get It.
Defendants asserted that tho two-day
period has eliminated such congestion and,
coupled with the Increased capacity of tho
freight houses, has Improved conditions to
the sntlsfnctlon of shippers and teamsters
patronizing tho frolght stntlons. Formerly
from 7 por cent, to 20 per cent, of the
less-than-carload shipments received at
tho various freight stations remained there
until the third day of tho four-day free
period allowed. Substantially all such
freight Is now removed within tho two
day period without any material increase
In the amount finally stored over that
stored when tho four-day rule was In
effect.

Authentic records listing tho works of
Raphael Include two paintings hanging
In the sacristy of tho Church of San
Plctro do Casslncnsl, In Perugia, but their
authenticity Is placed In doubt by a ques-
tlon mark.
It Is well known that Raphael was
gtvon to leaving many canvases unfin
ished, nnd that n certain proportion of
his work wns completed by other paint
ers, It Is therefore possible, nlthough
no record exists, that these painting were
tho work of Raphael and another artlBt

1483, nnd wont to Perugia In 1500 when
In his 17th year. Ho died In Roma In 1620
In his 38th year.
Tho other masters whose paintings wero
stolen with tho two attributed Raphaels
wero Andrea Mantegna, who wns one of
tho foremost pioneers of tho Renaissance ;
Cesnre Bassano (1584-1C42), nnd Giovanni
