jpwsmlrjr. That U not the fact By the
ffny appropriation bill which passed the
nnfA June 20, the Pftsldent Is authorUtd
'ta take over the railroads only In case ot
fcciti&l totr.
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. That part of the law at
Anally enacted reads:
The Prealdtnt, In time of war, Is em

to take possession and assume control
of any system or systems of transpor

Utilise the same, to the exclusion, as
fAr as may hi necessary, of all other
traffic thereon, for tho transfer or trans

equipment, or for such other purposes
connected with the emergency as may
be needful or desirable
No law exists by which the Government
ean force the railroad men to work against
their will for the transportation of mall and
foodstuffs. The postoDlce authorities have
been assured that railroad employes If they

trains. The National Guard and regulnra

BEADING EXPECTS LOYALTY
FROM MEN IF STRIKE COMES
HEADING, Aug. 14. 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. Several weeks ago the company en
rolled bqtweon 40,000 and 50,000 of Us em
ployes, principally 'clerks, for volunteer serv
ice In case ot trouble.
Further than that, the officials say,
nothing has been done. In the event of a
strike these volunteers have, agreed to as
sume tho duties of trainmen or those of any
ether position where they might be needed.

MAYOR fetOME; HIS
BUT HE KEEPS HIS OWN COUNSEL
Contlntifd from Pase One
following the spectacular Tenderloin raid of
July 15. 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.
The reinstatement of the men followed a
eonforenco In tho offlce of Director Wilson
attended by the Director, Superintendent
Robinson, tho four nccused men and Wil
liam A. Gray, their nttorncy. Following his
announcement of the nctlon decided upon
Mr. Wilson made tho following statement:
"Under the law nny policeman against
whom chnrges hnvo been preferred must bo
tried within Ml days. 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. He said that my request
could not lie granted unless ho was In
structed by the District Attorney Pending
their trlnl, which will take place this month,
tho men are reinstated."

after tho Grnnd Jury had dispersed. Weln
beck left tho city hurriedly nlong with
several othor members or his rratcrnuy
when the Jury began Its probe Into vice and
gnmbllng conditions In this city.
Among tho others who havo returned
following sudden sojourns In various out-of-town
places aro Dick Kclker, his brother
John Kelkcr and John Holland. Tho nnmes
of nil of these were mentioned frequently
before the Grand Jury In the courso of Its
Investigations. In nddltlon to these a num

CALL DEFIES GRAND JURY.
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.
In addition to the straw-ball matter an
other grave charge against Call will be that
he released a woman from custody after she
gave )12S tn Constable Beaumont It is
for his alleged complicity in the latter affair
that the Grand Jury asked for Beaumont's
Indictment.
NEW JURY SWORN.
Tho August Jury which will take up the
results of the vice probo waa sworn In this
morning before Judge McMlchael In Quarter
Sessions Court, Room 453, City Hall. 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. It was reported that
Slayer Smith's declaration that policemen
should not be members of political clubs
waa discussed. Those who conferred with
the Director today and who, It is said, dis
cussed the Mayor's plan against political
oluba were David Martin, Coroner Knight,
Magistrate Thomas F. 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. Of
theae eight were excused for various rea
son by the court, Herman Meyer, of 25S7
Dauphin ntreet, asked to be excused on the
plea that he could not understand the
"heavy words' used by the lawyra. Judge
McMlchael assured him that this was an
Insufficient reason since there wera plenty
of dictionaries available about he court
room. ROTAN OUT OF TOWN
Magistrate Thomas F. Watson was among
tho,ie exsuaed from aervlce.

Tho first two court cases growing out of
the big rnld of July IS enmo before Judge
McMlchael today. They wore those of
Eleanor Supper, of 439 North Percy strcot,
charged with conducting a disorderly house,
nnd Annie Faulker, nf tho same address,
nrrcstcd an an Inmate of tlie house,
Tho debate which Henry 8. 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."

Executive Orders
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14, Initial steps n
the direction of showing that the present
Administration has made wholesale appoint
ments to civil service positions wthuut ask
ing recommendations from the United States
Civil Service Commission were taken today
by Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania.
He Introduced two resolutions for the

have taken civil service positions out of
tha classfted. lists, also the n-mes of those
persons who have been "covered" Into civil
service after they had obtained their places
without examinations
One of the resolutions calls on the State
Department for a list ot the employes ap
pointed since July 1, 1911, without regard
to civil service.
Because Senator Fomercne, of Ohio, ob
jected to the immediate consideration of
the resolutions they went over for one day

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.
Printers during the yenr earned an aver
nge net wnge of 1011.18, nccordlng to
President Scott.

three casos had been reported. 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.
Four deaths were reported today, ono
victim being Alice Perry, 2 years old, of
2GS9 South Watts street. In Camden no
cases havo been reported in tho last 24
hours.
Tho othor three victims nre Vincent
Buggy, i years old, 8C5 North Ringgold
street; Annn Corelly, 4 yearH old, 4228
North Sydenham street, and Theodore Hcn
drlck, 8 years old. of 2520 North Philip
street. The grand total of deaths Is 47 and
180 cases.
INSPECTORS' POLICE POWERS
Ten inspectors from the ofllco of James
H. McCruddon, chief of the division of hous
ing and sanitation, were sworn In this
morning as special policemen and nsslgncd
to work In tha Forty-third Wnrd, where
they will ba expected to mako arroata of
persona whoso living places are In such
condition that they arc ideal spots for
germs. This is a radical step, Inasmuch
as until today the department has been
unable to take the Initiative In the mat
ter, waiting until complaints are received.
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.
The Director, however, la of the opinion
that Philadelphia will escape this catastro
phe ; nevertheless, he wants to be ready for
any emergency that may arise.
Dr. Walter 8. Cornell, chief pf the
medical Inspection of public schools, is in
lecelpt of 140 letters from physicians vol

fiom residents near playgrounds that ome
houses In the vicinity were breeding places
for germs.
The State quarantines yesterday were re

old.
