An amendment was proposed to glva au tojority for Federal operation ot transporta tldn facilities In lime of war or when war is imminent, but ths latter provision was Irtrioken out.

It Is learned In ofn clat ctrales of the Heading Hallway here that In tho event of a general strike along Its entire system, whllo no extraordi nary preparations have been mnde to meet It, tho company will mako all efforts to run its trains. In somo ofllclal quarters n belief exists that the company will o nblo to en list somo men from Its other departments to run the" most Important trains, but this Is not generally shared by thoso In touch With the local labor situation. Home offi cials were of the opinion that tho Reading's men would not go n far as to Htrlke. It the men desert their trains, tho offi cials recognize that the situation will be critical, and In that event they will depend upon tho loyalty of other employes compe tent to nil tho places of strikers. Before the strike voto was anpounced Heading Hallway of'.clals hero wero strong in the. belief that a majority of their men would voto against a. strike, and the result when made public was a great disappoint ment to thorn. If a strike occurs on the Heading on an 'xtended scale, It wilt mean the closing of the hard coal mtnes, and tho warning of a Shortage of anthraclto mado two weeks ago will become a reality. Tho company's ex tensive car and locomo'lvo shops here, em ploying 4000 men, would not continue long In operation. The people of this city still recall with horror the disastrous strike on tho Head ing in July, 1S77, which resulted In the destruction of the company's Lebanon Val Uy bridges and other property here and the killing of 22 Heading citizen,! by Na tional Guardsmen, who ilrcd Into n crowd of spectators. For some years after that the members of tho brotherhoods were elimi nated from employment on tho Heading, but today thoy are as strongly intrenched on that system as anywhero elso, PENNSY CLERKS PREPARED TO TAKE STRIKERS' PLACES It was announced by officials of the Penn sylvania Hallroad last night that no Imme diate preparations for a strlko have been made.

The men are Captain Kenny, Lieutenants Van Horn and Stinger nnd De tective Lee, former head of the vice squad. All will be summoned before the Police Board later this month for their hearing. Director Wilson, In explaining the re instatement of the men, pointed out that the law requires trial before the board to be given to nn nccused man within 30 days after his remoal. Tho length of time occupied by the July Grand Jury In making the vice probe, he said, made It Impossible to havo the cases ngalnst the men worked up within the legal 30-day limit, and for thH reason he had them sign waivers ngrec lug to submit to trial later this month. The Orand Jury, In Its formal present ment to Judge Rogers last Friday, recom mended that nil of the men except Captain Kenny bo reinstated. The Jury favored tho continuation of tho trial of Kenny and also recommended that Superintendent ot Police Robinson bo placed on trial boforo tho same body. This, however, was Inter learned to bo largely Impossible, as It would be a case of trying n superior police oinccr before his Inferiors. The men win go back to their former posts pending the trial with tho exception of Lee, who will go to tho Detectlvo Bureau. DIRECTOR WILSON'S STATEMttNT.

In tho cases of the nccused men their trial wns postponed In definitely. Thi Orand Jury concluded Its duties too into for us to comply with this phnso of tho law. "1 sent for Captain Kenny, Lieutenant Stinger, Lieutenant Van Horn and Charlie Leo to securo a waiver from them, by reason of their trial not taking plnoa within tho specldcd time. Each ofllcer s'gned tho waiver. I havo also requested tho District Attorney's ofllco to furnish me with the testimony nnd the recommendations of the Orand Jury. I havo been ndvlsed by As sistant District Attorney Welsh that the testimony nnd the names of witnesses can not be divulged.

Magistrate "Joe" Call nrrivtd at his olllco from Atlantic City today and promptly defied tho August Orand Jury to Indict him for his connection with the straw bail ex posures made before the July Orand Jury which conducted the probo Into vlco con ditions here. Tho July Jury, In Ha present ment mado to Judge Hogera last Friday, recommended that Call nnd his constable, Beaumont, bo Indicted by tl o Incoming Jury. In tho testimony offered before the July Jury it was shown that Call released 19 womon arrested In tho big raid of July 15 on ball offered by Joseph Perrffttc, a Ten derloin charactor. "DON'T GIVE A HANG." "If tho Grand Jury want to Indict us, lot them go ahead. I don't give a hang." This was tho dellnance voiced by Call to day when he wns questioned regarding the charges against him. "I did what I thought was right," ho added. "I havo heard this big noise before and It seems to be one of the annual spec tacles seen nnd heard In this town." When asked how long he had known Perrotte, Call replied, "For several years." Simultaneously with the convening today of tho August Grand Jury that will hear the charges against Call nnd Beaumont, It was learned that tho District Attorney's office Is making efforts to have Perrotte brought back to this city. Ho left Im mediately after ho testified before the Jury, and It Is understood that he Is now In Pateraon, N. J. The authorities theie wero asked to make an effort to locate him.

No mention either directly or Indirectly of the vice question was made by the Judge In charging the Jury. A number of ward leaders and politicians held conferences with Director Wilson In his office today.

Watson and Sena tor Patton. Mayor Smith has let It ba known that he Is entirely sincere In his announcement that police and politics must part. To mako It easy for the policemen, he is set ting an example. He has resigned from the Thomas B, Smith Republican Club, which he founded, and of which he was long the president, and he has severed his connection with all other similar political organisations. He has sold the clubhoube at Twenty-aoeond street and dlanwood ave nue to the club. The Mayor said that ne could not ask his subordinates to give up privileges he contit ued to enjoy. He also said that for many months he had contemplated Issuing an ctder prohibiting policemen from be longing to these clubs, scores of which ex ist In the city. There Is at least one club, and fluently two, In every ward. Thoy are the headquarters ot the ward organisa tions and the meeting places ot the division leaders, political workers and hangers-on. Alt but a few of them are conducted under a charter, and liquor Is sold to members and sometimes gambling Is permitted. It, is understood that the Mayor, while fie was still a. member of tha board of governors of the Smith Club, discovered that slot machines had been Installed In the clubhouse. When he learned this he began a campaign tliat resulted In their elimination. x , A total of 34 men responded to the Sher iff's summons for Grand Jurymen today.

Uernnrd, young schoolteacher-foromnn of the Ornnd .Tnrv which has lust disbanded, and Joscnh Manning, foreman of the nnino body until displaced by Bernard, havo boon conduct ing In the newspapers, still continues. JUROR CONDEM8 WEAK WORK Bernard today mnde a sweeping denial of tho chnrges made by Manning, that the Jury report wns n ono-man nffnlr. and that although It was brought In by Bernard, the latter did not know the contents of It Tha chairman of the Jury, In answering Manning, declared that tho report was pre pared by himself nnd Secretary I'rldo, of the Jury, and that ovory paragraph was submitted to the members of tho body for them to approve or reject. Manning when Informed of Bernnrd's de nial said "Bernard Is a fine fellow, Tho smartest young man for his age that I have ever met. I merely expressed my belief that tho presentments of the Jury wero weak. It Is my honest opinion. I bear no innllco toward Bernard." After making a categorical denial of every chars e and Insinuation made by Manning, Bornard said: "It is too bnd that a schoolboy could force his composition upon a Grand Jury word for word. Where was Manning when It wns done? Mr. Manning's statement Is nn Insult to the Intelligence of tho Jurymen nnd cortnlnty nn admission of his own In competence. Ho voted for the presentment, paragraph by parngraph, after It had been rend and reread a number of times. "Ho moved thnt a voto of thanks be extended to Mr. Pride nnd myself for what he called 'our good work.' lie signed the presentment, nnd why now this chango of front? There Is nnmcthlng wrong some where. Apparently, Mr. Manning has some fish to fry, so let him go to It and enjoy himself. The only two persons 'Who saw the presentment when It was being drafted wero Mr. Pride and myself." ERROR AS TO PROCEDURE. Bernard .plnlncd that tho mistake In tho recommendation for Superintendent Robinson's trial came about because tho Jurymen wero laymen, not lawyers, nnd ho further said thnt, regardless of this error, there was no reason why tho Mayor nnd Director Wilson or oven the succeeding Grand Jury couldn't sco that their recom mendation was taken up. Even though tho Jury, of which ho was foreman, ndvlsed wrongly so far ub procedure wns con cerned, there wns no reason, ho said, that theso men couldn't carry out their recom mendation In tho spirit In which It was mado. He added that ho thought overy man on tho probing Jury was absolutely honest In his convictions, and that therefore no ono need havo cast nny reflection on tho man ner In which the task waa performed. Captain Kenny has not dropped the crim inal libel ohargos ngalnst J. Stewart Knight and Samuel Dougherty, respectively owner nnd editor of the Sunday Trnnscript, which paper chnrged Captain Kenny, In a recent Issue, of ncccptlng tribute from dive keepers In tho Tenderloin. Attorney William A. Gray, who Is repre senting Kenny, when asked whether tho chnrges hnd been dropped said: "Captain Kenny hna no thought of drop ping the charges against these men. As soon as they have been apprehended by tho pollco we will begin prosecution. The war rants for tho two men aro now in the hands of the Detective Bureau."

' w I RIGID INQUIRY INTO COST OF PAPER URGED Typographical Union Feara Ris ing Market Will Throttle Printing Industry . BALTIMORE, Aug. 14. Something more substantial than a "perfunctory Investiga tion" of the Increased cost of whlto paper was demanded of Congress here today at tho opening session of the sixty-second an nual convention of the International Typographical Union. "The grip of the rising paper market Is throttling tho life out of many strug gling newspapers and commercial printing houses," said President Marsden G. Scott In his annual report to the convention. "Due to the Increased cost of paper many publlihers have been forced to reduce the number of printed pnges, nnd If the price of paper Is not kept down thero will be a fnlllng away In printed inntter that will forco on the unemployed list thousands of those engaged In the printing Industry." That hundreds of public schools aro giv ing Instruction In printing which Is harm ful In the pupil and the trnle. wns charged by delegates to the convention. It wns said thnt the beticfltB that would como from vocational training havo been lost In. at tempting Industrial development of tho stu dent. The result hns been thnt Homlskllled workers have been crowded into tlio print ing Industry. The union contends that the normal needs of tho trade aro not taken Inin rmiHldoratlon nnd that npprentlces nro coming In fnstcr than they can be cared for.

The ono new case here Is that of Gcorgo Newctt, ono year old, of 0011 Mngnolla avenue, German town. "With such a showing on the first day of tho cold wave," he declared, "there Is every reason to be optimistic. I nm convinced, because of my cxpcrlenco with Infantile pnrnlysls since 1907, thnt tho plague is spread a great deal by Insects, which are handicapped both in propagation nnd tn traveling by cold weather. That Is the factor which will mean nn end to the plnguo, an end which will not be postponed beyond the time when the frost comes, anyway." GENERAD CLEAN-UP. Doctor Dixon added thnt sanitary con ditions throughout the Stnto had been greatly bettered because of tho scare, filthy places being clenned up and everybody anxiously seeking to eliminate sites that aro breeding places for germs, Ho said that It would be a good thing If people per sisted In this program hereafter, without waiting for n plague to forco them Into It. Bristol, he asserted, has been clenned as never before, and It is now n splc nnd span town, wonderful In Its new beauty of cleanliness.

Inatructions have been issued to other Inspectors to arrest grocery storekeepers who permit their food articles to remain uncovered and to take beforo a magistrate all drivers of garbage and manure wagons who expose their contents to the air nnd the depredations ot files, which Director Krusen believes help In spreading paralysis. A call for volunteer maids, nurses and attendants for duty at the Philadelphia Hospital for Contagious Diseases has been Issued by Director Krusen, who udded that this waa simply a "step In preparedness," and that his department wants to be uble to care properly for tho babies If an epidemic of large proportions htrlkes Philadelphia.
