OFFICIALS TO FACB JUIIY.
Magistrate Pennock and Superintendent
ef Pollco Iloblnson will also appenr before
the Jury to testify. Superintendent Hobln
on will explain why he ordered gambling
paraphernalia returned afterl t had been
confiscated by tho pollco and why hq held
up warrants Issued for gamblers last May.
There was every location today that the
Investigations would be rushed to an early
conclusion In sptto of the declarations of
Judge Itogers and District Attorney Itotan
that they wire ready to continue the probo
as long as may bo necessary.
It Is now believed that the probe will be
ended Friday and that tho Grand Jury will
then recommend the reinstatement of Cap
tain Kenny, Lieutenants Van Horn and
Btlnger and Acting Detective Lee, who were
suspended following the raid of July IB.
The grand jurors are said to bellevo that
by tomorrow night they will have gone as
deeply as they can go Into the vice situa
tion to place responsibility for the condt
tlons prevailing prior to tho raid on July
15. It Is expected that they will havo
heard all the witnesses they need by that
time and will spend Thursday nnd Friday
morning working on the preeminent.

Ins recommendations for a reorganisation
of tho pollco department, for tho future
course of the department's methods of war

pollco ofneinis aa rcsponslblo for the con
ditions which followed tho Inauguration of
Mayor Smith. Only one Indictment Is ex
pected. This will concern n pollco olllcor
accused of taking protection money.
POLITICIANS' INTCUUST
Interest today will center about the ap
pearanco of tha ward politicians and their
connection with vice conditions. In this
connection It Is noteworthy that the politi
cal domination of Senator McNIchoI In the
Tenth "Ward and of Congressman Scott In
the Fourteenth Ward was not threatened
In the recent factional fight.
Matters In tho Thirteenth, however, were
Vastly different This was one of tho bat
tlegrounds of the last campaign. Select
Councilman John F. Flaherty, a McNIchoI
lieutenant, being overthrown by Common
Councilman Jones, by a narrow margin.
Jones was one of the new -ward leaders
boosted Into power by the Vares, nrid dur
ing the campaign McNIchol-Flaherty sup
porters In tho ward made frequent charges
that the ward was being "opened up for
political reasons. .,,.,
The District Attorney also explained that
the probe Ib not being "localized," but is
taking in every part of the city. He sa d
that though the evidence has dealt mainly
with happenings since January 1 of this
year, the Investigation would be carried
back to the Blankonburg administration It
the evidence warranted It.
ItOBINSON'S DEFENSE.
Superintendent Robinson's admission that
gambling devices were restored to their
owners upon orders from him will be made
to the Grand Jury wnn mis quiiiim-awuM.
That the devices fn question Blot machines
were "old and covered with dust" and
had not been used for four years. He will
ay that he was so assured by the owners
of the machines, and will display a signed
promise from the owner that they would
not be operated again in Philadelphia.
Those machines wore in good condition
and wero used as gambling devices right
up to the day upon which warrants were
Issued for their owners," declared D. Clar
ence Olbboney, head of the Law nnd Order
Society, when Informed what RoTdnson's
defense will be.
The fact that Robinson returned the ma
chines was first brought to the attention
of the Jury by Captain McFadden, of the
fourth division, and Lleutennnt Little, of
tho Nineteenth and Oxford Btreets station.
McFadden qualified yesterday another
charge attributed to him to the effect that
warrants for the owners of the slot-machines
were sworn out by him and then
held up by noblnson.
Iloblnson will testify today along the line
of McFadden's qualification. He will tell
the Jury that the warrants were held up at
McFadden's request, the captain telling him
that he was employing an expert' Invest!
I gator to get evidence against certain places,.
and that service oi mo wurnuiui ui umi
time would be "suicidal." Tho warrants
were Issued In ( May and have not been
served yet
Credit for the big vice raid of July 15
was claimed by Director Wilson when he
was before the a rand Jury, It was learned
today.
The Director testified yesterday and re
fused to glvo an Inkling of what he had
said when he came from the Jury room.
But the testimony was Tepeated today and
among other things the Director confirmed.
the testimony of Captain Kenny that a po
imn with a boat In the Tenderloin was
found In one of the dives the night the ralT
was pulled, tie was not arrcmeu, uui nu
told to put on his uniform and go outside.
Since then he has been suspended,
"Xt is untrue that I gave orders to Charles
Lee, deposed head of the vicu squad, and
other officials, to the effect that there should
be only three arrests In any certain period
of time. It has always been my wish to
get all the violators,"
The Qrand Jury wanted, to know how Mr.
Wilson dealt with a case like this. He re

U. S. OFFICIALS SCOUT PLOT '
THEORY IN MUNITIONS BLAST
Probably Peace Fanatics, It Is Said,
Not Germans
WASHING-TON, Aug. 1 The possibility
of complicity of German agents In the II lack
Tom Peninsula explosion, resulting In tho
destruction of 85 c,nrloads of Hhrupnel des
tined for the Allies, was scouted by De
partment of Justice officials today.
The German Government, It was pointed
out, following alleged activities by official
agents at the time of Hoy-Ed's recall, em
phatically directed German consular agents
to co-operate with American authorities to
preserve neutrality and, It Is eald, has ac
tually been Instrumental In bringing German-American
conspirators to Justice.
If a German agency was responsible, It
Is the opinion at the Department that it
would only be the act ot an Irresponsible
fanatic. Assuming Incendiary origin, now
ever, officials are mora inclined to attribute
the explosion to pacificist fanatics.
STANDARDIZATION URGED

ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. 1, Ten or
twelve corporations and individual firms
turned out 90 per cent, of the 400,000
bicycles produced and sola in tne united
States this year, according to reports pre
sented at the opening session at the Hotel
8t, Charles today of the National Bicycle
Manufacturers' Association. Production of
bicycle parts, tires, rims and hubs is in
the hands of a great many other manu
facturers, but the finished bicycle output,
like the motorcycle, of which J 00,000 have
been sold this year. Is In the hands of a
'highly organized and concentrated organi
zation.
The principal complaint of the manufac
turers was a scarcity of raw materials.
standardization was the chief toplo be
fore the convention today. Adoption of
standardized parts will greatly simplify
manufacturing and save hundreds of thou
sands of dollars In overhead charges. Jt was
claimed. President H. S, Wise, of Middle

There was no mention 'of President Wil

FIRST OUTBURST

In the speech, when Mr, Hughes defined

"I mean America first and Amerlci effi

The second distinct Impression that Mr.
Hughes made was in his reference to the
I.usltania Incident His declaration that
had this nation left no doubt that by "strict
accountability" It meant Just what It Bald,
no lives would have been lost on the I.usl
tanla. Instantly brought tho greater part
of the audience to Its feet, shouting ap

NEW YORK PRESS COMMENTS
UPON ADDRESS BY HUGHES
Republican papers generally commended
Charles E. Hughes's speech today, while
Democratlb papers attacked It. The new
York Tribune declared for Hughes, though
It disapproved what he had to say on the
German-American Issue.
The meat ot the editorial comment in
New York follows:
The Sun
The speech of Mr. Hughes leaves no doubt
aa to where he stands with regard to any
essential issue. An utterance so strong
and honest, so free from the consciousness
of phraseology, so void pf the pettinesses
of evasion and artful conciliation, has sel
dom been heard when a candidate for Presi
dent arose to pronounce his creed. The de
pendable quality of bis mind and character
Is manifest throughout the address.
He knows for what he stands and he can
convey to others the information tn a man
ner requiring no supplement.
The Tribune
Mr. Wilson can expect nothing from the
, ... . X,m k cm iiuivitT
pnign manager.
BUSINESS MEN WARMLY COMMEND
' HUGHES'S SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE
The address of Charles E. Hughes upon
his acceptance ot the nomination for Presi
dent by the Republican party, made In New
York city last night, met with hearty ap
proval nmong prominent bankers and bus
iness men of this city, who expressed them
stlvrs ft.s being In accord with his dtter-
BfKVCS
Nntlmn T. Folwell. president of tho Man
ufacturers' Club, declared himself as being
In accord with everything Mr. Hughes said.
"Mr. Hughes has shown that ho knows
Just the remedy to npply to our national
complications It was excellent. Mr.
Hughes was right when ho declared tliat
this country's dealings with Mexico con
stitute a confused chapter of blundeis. Wo
have not helped Mexico. Tho country Is
prostrate, famine-stricken and nvcrvvhclmed
with woes and strife.
"Mr. Hughes Is correct when ho lays
that the course porsued by tho present
ndmlnlHtrntlon In attempting to control the
domestic concerns of Mexico, This was
Intenentlon. Wo decried Interference nnd
yet we interefered most exasperatlngly
We have even had conflicts nnd many
of the soldiers of tho United States Army
have been sacrificed.
"This administration should have rec
ognized tho Hureta regime. Our soldiers
would never havo had to bo fcent to the
border nnd Mexico, I am sure, would have
righted herself.
"In a word Mr. Hughes hit the nail on
the bend. In everything he said, and I am
sure ho has the support of every stanch
Republican In tho country.
CHARLES S. CALWEI.I. PLEASED. '
Charles S. Cnlwell, president ot the Corn
Exchange National Bank, said :
"It Is one of tho strongest speccneo ever
mado by a presidential nominee. Mr.
Hughes makes It plain that the Republican
party Is entirely out of ncord with the
policy of the present administration with
relation to the Mexican Bltuatlon,
"I concur with Mr. Hughes In his denun
ciation of tho treatment of tho Huertn
Government. Huerta was exercising au
thority as Provisional President of Mexico.
He waH certainly In fact the head of the
Government And yet this Administration
refused to recognlzo him. Every one knows
what the act has led to. The less said of
that the better.
"Ves I believe the present Administra
tion has been extravagant. They promised
economy but we have never had it. It Is
about time that we had fiscal reform. Mr.
Hughes's advocacy of a simple business-like
budget, I believe, will avoid financial waste
and secure for us a proper administrative
efficiency. It Is about time that business is
.Injected Into politics."
STRONGLY FOR PROTECTIVE TARirF.
John Grlbbel, president of the Union
League, said:
"Mr Hughes's speech was a masterly set
ting forth of the Republican position nnd
a remarkable analysis of the weakness of
the Democratic position. Mr. Hughes
showed remarkable analytical power In dis
secting the weakness of the foreign policy
during the last three years. Ills grasp of
the situation and his vision of the future
were very Impressive. He was clear and
concise and showed a remarkable under
standing of the present situation. His irony
and Battre were very effective.
country but n, fair Judgment on his own
record. That Is ail the Republican party,
through its candidate, now asks. Mr.
Hughes's Indictment Is the one thing the
Administration cannot successfully meet.
For to meet It Is to open wider than over
to public view all that melancholy .record
of Ineptitude, which, as Mr. Hughes rightly
says, cannot be examined by any real Amer
ican today without the rrofoundest sense
of humiliation.
The Herald
Mr. Hughes's speech was well received.
He talked considerable common sense.
The World
Mr. Hughes'B speech of acceptance Is the
public confession of a candidate who Is
without an issue and without a polfcy.
Half of It Is devoted to an attack upon
the foreign policy of President Wilson,
but Mr. Hughes does not say what he
would have done that Mr. Wilson left un
done, or what he would have left undone
that Mr. Wilson did,
Mr, Hughes's speech Is all sound and
reverberation. There is no substance to It.
The World recently expressed the opinion
that no civilized country In the world would
be insane enough at a time like this to
overturn such a Government as President
Wilson has given to tha United States and
embark upon a- sea ot experiment. That
conviction Is strengthened tenfold by Mr,
Hughes s speech.
The Times
Little that Is new appears In the speech.
It Is mainly a composite of the well-known
wisdom of Republican sages and the con
certed Progressive chiefs. The voices of
Mr, Roosevelt, of Senator Fall, of Senator
Harding and the Hoqje Market Club may
be detected In It.
DEMOCRATS ATTACK HUGHES

NEW YORK, Auk. 1. Characterizing
Charles E. Hughes as a poor "bitter," a
statement Isswd at Democratic headquar

nothing constructive. The statement fol
lows: "After all the delay and secrecy about

,.r. ,.,. .,,rrioincr tn manv of his hear-
ers how expert he was nt feeling the public
pulse, nnd the audience responded enthu
siastically to many of his observations. He
was nt his best In discussing the tariff. In
a masterly way ho showed tho falsity of tho
Democratic position on tho tnrlft how In
1012 tho Democrats utterly foreswore pro
tectlon nnd now' they wore adopting It, hut
to save their fanes they were catling It nn
anti-dumping law and not protection.
"Mr. Hughes showed tho hollowncss of
tho Democratic claims on tho tariff, nnd
proved the strength, certainty nnd truth of
tho Republican protective tariff."
Roland H. Morris, ex-chalrmnn of tho
State Democratic Committeeman, said:
"I think tho speech was extremely weak.
Mr Hughes was critical largely of the Mex
ican situation, nnd on that he had a great
deal to say, but on the constructive sldo
ho was entirely vnguo nnd always Indefinite.
Ho had no constructive suggestions nt all
to make. ,
"As for his position on protection, I think
he tnkes a hopeless one. Tho Democrats
admit tho necessity of a careful scrutiny
of tho tariff schedules nfter the war, and
there is going to be passed n very good
tariff commission bill, which simply will
have to bo Indorsed, and If tho President
makes tho same kind of appointments on
It as he did on tho Rural Credit Board,
overybody will bo compelled to Indorse It.
"Tho fact Is, there Is no longer any tnrlff
Issue. Tho viewpoint of tho public In both
parties has changed so ns to bring virtu
ally all to bo of tho same mind.
"For years tho two parties had abso
lutely conflicting Ideas about the tariff, and
they both proved wrong: tho people's ver
dict showed what was thought of tho ex
treme Republican theory ot protection In
tho Tnft administration, and likewise what
was thought of tho former "revenue only"
tariff theory under tho Democrats In 1894.
"Both parties now have got away from
tho old Ideas. Tho people have come to see
that a tariff commission made up of experts
can handle tho tariff In the most expert
way and base it on tho exigencies of com
petition, so that tho country won't care
whether the board Is made up of Democrats
or Republicans Mr. Hughes Is simply try
ing to make an Issue wheio there Isn't nny
nnd can't be any. Ills whole position Is
hopelessly weak."
RiailT MAN FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
State Senator Edwin II. Vare said.
"I bellevo tho Republican nominee's
speech fully met tho expectations of Repub
licans and Progressives The former Jus
tice took up and discussed the vital ques
tions beforo the country In an able, and, It
seems to me, a convincing manner.
"Mr. Hughes's speech Is certain to sweep
aside any doubts that have been In the
minds of Republicans of nn Independent
turn ns to the best man having been nomi
nated at Chlcngo.
'The former Justice's putting of the facts
as regards the Wilson policy on Mexico
strikes me as very clear, and I believe a
big majority of the voters will have no
trouble In understanding the situation.
"I also like the way In which Mr. Hughes
handles the question of this country's for
eign relations. While It might be said un
der ordinary conditions that tho layman Is
not fitted Intelligently to discuss Interna
tional affalrB, It seems to me that the pres
ent Is an exception,"
thought in the minds of some people that he
would really make a 'hit,' but instead nt
stepping Into the ball he has pulled away
from the plate, and as u batter has disap
pointed the fans.
"No pew Issues have been developed It
Is the same old talk that was put out at
the Chicago convention, which had fallen
flat upon tho country. The Republican party
has no Issues in this campaign and Mr.
HugheB's speech proves it. It is a speech
of criticism and offers nothing constructive.
The people are tired of complaining and
warning, and what they really w'ant to
know Is 'What would you have done?' It
Is deeply significant that there was no sug
gestion or hint of criticism of any act ot
the Democratic Congress."
WASHINGTON PLEASED WITH
HUGHES'S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
Republicans Call It Strong Statement.
Democrats Point to Lack of 'Policy
WASHINGTON. Aug, 1. Cabinet mem
bers today Ueclai1 themselves pleased with
the speech of Mr, Hughes.
"It pleases me Immeasurably," said Post
master General Burleson. "The speech has
not a ringing thing In it nothing new. The
electorate are tired of generalities, and will
demanu information as to now Hughes
would do differently tha things he assails
the President for, He not only pussy-foots
he actually lays down. I am delighted."
"Fine. Satisfactory from all standpoints,"
said Secretary Lane.
Attorney General Gregory said;
"Mr. Hughes attempts to make Mexico
the issue, but falls by refusing to say
what he would have done. He may not be
responsible for the state of affairs there, but
he can't avoid stating what ha would do
had he been confronted with the facts aa
President. The people of the United States
will demand an answer before being satis
fied that be would have done differently or
better."
Secretary Tumulty also expressed delight
at (he speech. His sole comment for pub
lication, however, was:
'"it la flat and ineffective."

given by new'spapct publishers of the Unit
ed Slates today at an open hearing before
tho Federal Trade CqmmlBslon. The hear
ing Is the first of several to bo held to de
termlne If possible tho Underlying onuses
and a possible remedy for the tremendous
Increases In the cost of print paper to pub;
Representatives of tho American News

Pdltorlnl Association, tho New Jersey Pub.
Ushers' Association, tho Pennsylvania State
Editorial Association, Pennsylvania Pub
lishers' Association nnd the Nowspaper
Manufacturers' Association wero present
The American Newspaper Publishers' As.
uoclatlon in preparing a "war chest" to light
the manufacturers, nnd Is compiling data
tending to show that collusion and con
spiracy exist among tho manufacturers to
keep print paper prlcea up, declared Vice
President F. P. Glass, of tho association,
first speaker nt tho henrlng.
"Wo nre endeavoring," said Mr. Glass,
"to Eathdr evldenco of conspiracy, n collu
tlon, nn understanding. Wo are mornlly
certain that a combination exists, and wo
hope to be nblo to present tho legal evlj
dence within CO days. We Intend to spend
money to bring this about. As soon as we
get the facts wo will present them to this
commission."
Mr. Glass said that many newspaper pub
lishers are now paying from 25 to 35 per
cont moro than they wero a few months
ngo for print paper.
"Recently I saw a quotation of four
cents a pound on a 20-car shipment, said
Mr. Glass. "It was stated that tho offer
would hold good for only 48 hours. Nearly
every mill la refusing to mako contracts
beyond January 1.1P17, nnd It Is almost
Impossible to get a quotation from moro
than one mill that the ono from which tho
publisher has been uuying.
"Publishers nro doing everything possible
to cut down paper consumption. They have
cut down the size of their papers, they
have nbondoned circulation campaigns, they
have cut out tho return privilege."
J. II, Kerbey, of Pottsvllle, representing
tho Associated Dollies of Pennsylvania,
said there nro many evidences of biaB,
projudlco and unfaro treatment. Ho said
ho had bocn unnblo to get tho paper
necessary to run his paper.
"I queried 30 or 40 manufacturers In
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh. Columbus nnd
other plnces for prices," said Mr. Zerbcy.
"Only three or fournnswcred. All of them
said, 'Why don't .you go back to your regu
lar dealer?' I had not given the namo of
my original manufacturer, so that con
vinced mo that tho manufacturers havo a
regular clearing house.
"Charles B. Spatz. of Pennsylvania, who
wns a candldnte for public printer at ono
tlmo, Is now paying B cents a pound for his
print paper."
Amnnir tiin Pannsvlvanlana present were
W. L. Blner, Pennsylvania State Editorial
Association; Charles B. Spatz, Associated
Weeklies of Pennsylvania; K. R. Stoll,
Pittsburgh Newspaper Publishers' Associa
tion. DR. SURFACE DEMANDS
PROBE OF DISMISSAL
Dr. II. A. Surface, State economic
zoologist for more than ten years, who
was ousted last night from his position by
the State Agricultural Association, today
sent tho following telegram to the Evenino
Ledoeh. from Harrlsburg, In response to a
request for a statement:
"N'eltl- the Secretary of Agriculture
nor the irlcultufal Commission will state
deflnlti iasons for forcing me out. I
believe hero nre none, but It so, I most
earnestly want them brought to light. Tho
public has a right to know. I have ab
solutely nothing to conceal. I suggest that
the public demand a hearing before tho
Secretary of Agriculture and the Commis
sion and the Governor. If I have enemies
who want me out let them show themselves
nnd tell why. I know that I have many
fi-inn,! nml fitranirers whom I have served
who want mo to stay, and they have tele
graphed and requested a pUbltc hearing.
They will come together at any time this
U arranged. I havo been told that there
are no charges ngalnst me, and I am truth
ful when I say I know of none that can
bo brought. . ,
"Tho only one I havo definitely learned s
by II. V. White, chairman of the commis
sion, Bloomsburg, who said, "One reason ap
pears to be vital It Is alleged on what ap
pears to be good authority that adjoining
States and the Federal department decline
to recognize the certificate of nursery in
spection furnished by the Pennsylvania
State Department.'
"I have letters dated within the last week
from each of 'the adjoining States and the
Federal department, stating that they have
never refusedto nccept our nursery Inspec
tion certificates, and that they regard them
as favorably as those of any State.
"The commission Invited me to appear
before it last evening and make a statement.
1 talked of the work of the bureau I repre
sent and my desire to co-operate with the
commission and other factors for the best
results possible. I asked suggestions for
Improvement and invited questions on any
points of charge or criticism. None were
asked, and no criticisms of my work were
made. I do not desire to create the Impres
sion that I am fighting any superior ofllcers,
but I do desire fair public statements, and
have asked for honest criticisms and sug
gestions that will bo helpful. I shall rely
entirely upon those whom I have served,
whether friends or strangers, to see to It
that this Important service Is not Inter
rupted and that all facts are made public"
