These orders are followed by a list of questions asking patrolmen to name the clubs of which thoy are members and whether they intend to obey the order. Police arc puzzled as to what con stitutes a political club. Order docs not say what punish ment will bo meted out to those who refuse to obey. All policemen In this city must resign from their political ctubs immediately. An order to this effect ha been sent out by Superintendent of Police Hoblnson nnd ytss. followed by a card bearing a list of questions asking the cops what they were going to do about It While the order docs not say specifically that patrolmen will be dismissed for refus ing to obey, It Is generally believed that such punishment will be meted out to thoso who Ignore It. The recent vice crusade and the fact that policemen wero protecting the games of politicians to whom they owed their Jobs is believed to have prompted this latest move by Robinson. The order bears tho namo of the Super intendent of Pollco and tho announcement that It has been approved by Director WII. on. It In as follows: Kvcry member of this bureau Is hereby directed to at onco resign from any and all political clubs of which he may be a member. WHAT IS A "POLITICAL CLUB"? There is Bomo contention among tho po lice as to what constitutes n. political club. Hoblnson, In ljls order, failed to say Just what kind of an organization he consid ered a political club. Some tlmo ago Direc tor Wilson said there were only one or two actual political clubs In tho entire city. In conncctldn with this latest order, which is called No. 238, tho police today received a slip bearing these questions: Do you belong to any political club? If so, give the name and location In each case. What are your Intentions now re garding membership In sqch clubs? Every member of tho department is re quested to file his answer to theso ques tions not later than tomorrow. POLICC ItESENT ORDER. Tho order has caused much dissatisfac tion among the police. Some contend that it la an Infringement upon their personal rights. Others say they will not resign. Some have been assured by ward leaders, it Is said, that they merely have to say they will resign and then do nothing more bout it "I SAVED MY GIRL," CRIES PARK SLAYER t Continued from Pate One up, the police say, and blackmail them.

The lights of the car were dimmed. While there In the quiet of the drive, the moonlight falling through the trees upon the car and the girl in the front seat await ing him, Frfgar was startled by a rush from the bushes at the roadBlde. FIRING OF THE FATAL SHOT. "Your lights are out ; you're pinched !" said the leader of the men. "Ha held In his hand something that looked 'like a club," Frlgar explained to the police." I believe now It was a beer bottle. I feared him and the gang. I knew what other girls had suffered. Miss Sykes was frightened. I wanted to get away. Anything to get away from that gang and save my girl. The leader threatened mo Wth the club and 1 saw the others coming. I had a revolver and I used It." Frlgar said he shot three times directly at the head of the man he feared wanted to harm Miss Sykes. At the first shot, he said, the band dispersed. Jumping over the wall and scurrying behind trees. "1 had fixed the engine," he continued. "I Jumped Into the car when I saw my chance and switched the clutch into high. We were away and safe. I had saved my girl.

Malcolm, his brother says. Is about 30 years old, about 12 or 15 years his brother's Junior. Howard L. Davis was married 17 years ago, and Mrs. Howard L.

PRESIDENT WILSON BOARD Continued from Tate One principle of the eight-hour day In nt least an amended form. Then the President Intends asking Con gress specifically to authorize the Newlands commission to act In the case. It was said, that, dcsplto the fact that tho 440 union chairmen before leaving for their homes yesterday Instructed their committee of 24, left here to handle details, not to arbitrate tho eight-hour day, the President Is con vinced that these Instructions are clastic enough to permit the essentials of compcif sntlon to be passed on by the Newlands commission. PUTS PLAN UP TO LANE. Tho President virtually hns put the work ing out of a solution that will sntlsfy nil sides up to Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior. For years as a member of tho Interstate Commerce Commission Lnno wad familiarizing himself with railroad nffAlrs. Ho now Is bringing his experience to bear on the various proposnls of settle ment nnd Is aiding the President In tils self-imposed task of preventing Industrial chaos. The committee of railway presidents and managers will not sco President Wilson until 2:30 this afternoon. Their appoint ment to confer with him at 10 o'clock thin morning was cnnceled at the request of tho President. The lattor desired further tlmo to examine the situation nnd to learn, through JUtlgo Chambers, of the concilia tion board, Just what Instructions tho com plete committee of the brotherhood gao to their subcommittee before leaving Wash ington. WILL SOUND EXECUTIVES. It generally was nccepted that the Presi dent would tell the railroad executives that he could not accept their counter-proposal. Then ho was expected to sound them on his general plan. Lntcr ho wilt confer with the brotherhood chiefs and try to get their views on the suggestion. If a Bcntlment can bo created In both organizations favor ablo to the plan, then tho President will suggest that both sides name a commltteo of not more than four to net with him In drawing up nn agreement of Just what the Newlands Commission shall pass on. Meanwhile propositions for congres sional action along other lines wero de ferred. No arrangements havo been made for a Joint session. Tho President will con tlnuo consultntlon of congressional leaders. Republicans ns well na Democrats In nn effort to agree on a plan to be substituted for his latest one if the latter Is Anally rejected. PLANS FOR LEGISLATION. Intervention by Congress nppcars to offer tho only solution. Congressional leaders, who have conferred with President Wilson, say that Is tho conviction of tho Chief Executive. All efforts ho has made person ally during the last two weeks apparently have failed. It Is believed by thoso who havo been consulted that the President will nnk for legislation similar to the Canadian disputes Act. That provides for Investigation of all disputes by a commission. Under the exist ing law, mediation cannot be forced, but If a law similar to the Canadian law wore written on tho statute books, mediation and Investigation could bo forced. While ac ceptance of the commission's findings Is not mandatory, it has been found that the force of public opinion has resulted In acceptance of tho findings In nearly all Instances. It Is generally agreed by Senator New lands that the bill to increase tho size of tho Interstate Commerce Commission, which has passed tho House, can be reached through the Senate with virtually no debate. Until the present railroad crisis arose, It had been tho plan of the Senato leaders to let the measure go over until the next session of Congress. Plans have been made not only for In creasing tho size of the commission, but broadening Its powers. The number of commissioners Is to be Increased from seven to nlno, and authority Is to be given to divide Into groups. It Is considered highly probable that the legislation to be paused will authorize the Federal Government to take over the rail roads and operate them during the dispute, but it Is known the President does not want to have the Government take over the roads. Under the terms of the army legislation, enacted during the present session of Con gress, the President Is given authority to take over the railroads and operate them In time of war. An attempt to so broaden the authority as to give him the power "when war Is Imminent" failed. Therefore, he hah no right today to operate tho roads. ADJOURNMENT PLANS OFF Senator Kern, Democratic floor leader, who predicted laBt week that Congress would adjourn Friday, said today that all adjournment plans were off, because It Is virtually certain Congress will be called upon to enact legislation Immediately to meet the present crisis. Senator Kern said no time would be set for the Joint session of the House and Senate to hear President Wilson until after the result of the con ferences today became known. The Interstate Commerce Committees of the two houses will be in charge of prepar ing the legislation. After reporting It from the committees, Senator Newlands, of Nevada, will be In charge of the fight for its passage in the Senate, and Representative Adamson, of Georgia, will have charge of the measures on the floor of the House. The two men are the chairmen of the com mittees. Other members of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee are: Smith, South Carolina; Pomerene, Ohio; Myers, Montana; Robinson, Arkansas; Saulsbury, Delaware; Thompson, Kansas; Lewis, Illinois; Gore, Oklahoma; Under wood, Alabama; Clapp, Minnesota; Cum mins, Iowa; Lippltt, Rhode Island; Town send, Michigan; La Follette, Wisconsin; Polndexter, Washington.

BROTHERHOODS .NSWER REA The brotherhood chiefs today issued s bitter rejoinder to the statement issued by Samuel Bca. president of the Pennsylvania, WANTS IN RAILWAY CRISIS Railways Are Determined to Force Strike, Says Lee By W. G, LEE Chief of the nrotherhood of Hallway Trainmen. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. IT SEEMS evident from press re ports that the railwny companies represented here nre determined to force a strike rnthor than nccept the compromise settlement offered by President Wilson. Tho labor organizations refuse positively to arbitrate the question of nn eight-hour workday simply be cause we now havo nn eight-hour day in effect on many of the southern nnd southwestern roads and do not propose to arbitrate whether -wo shall retain something thnt we havo had for years nnd thnt we secured peacefully. The railways' former claim that our request would cost $100,000,000 has been spit 50-50, nnd we are re minded of the statement that "flfj ures won't lie, but liars will figure." The railwnys know full well that tho eight-hour day ns offered by Presi dent Wilson would not cost $20, 000,000 per annum if properly ap plied. We arc still tho cucsts of Presi dent Wilson nnd will remain hero. In which tho latter asserted "thnt rnthcr than give up arbitration the executives re garded It ns bettor to fnco a strike. The statement declared thnt the Pennsylvania hns refused to permit arbitration by Ave roads that it controls nnd then In conclusion says: "What was tho nttltudo of the Pennsyl vania Railroad toward Its shopmen In their efforts to organize two years Blnco, and how many millions did tho company spend to defeat organization nnd deny arbitra tion? Is consistency n Jewcl7" PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD UKADY TO 31KET STRIKE Altoonn Shop3 Equipped for Lodging nnd Boarding Men ALTOONA, ra Aug. 28.

In compliance with a paper signed last week by more than ten thou sand of them, agreeing to work for tho company nnd protect company property. It Is to accommodate these men that the officials havo converted certain portions of tho shops Into dining rooms and sleeping quarters. ENGLAND'S EMBARGO ON TOBACCO RESENTED Growers Urge Protest Against Ban on American Product. Means Big Loss WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. The State De partment has knowledge of concessions granted by Orent Britain giving the Urit'sh Amerlcan Tobacco Company virtual monop oly of export trade with Franco and Italy, Foreign Trade Adviser Letcher said today. He made the statement to tobacco growera' representatives who had called at the Cap itol to urgo a formal protest against, Eng land's embargo on shipments to Austria and Germnny, effect. vo Thursday. Confronted with a loss of $10,000,000 to $15,000,000, to bacco growers In five States are panic stricken, their representatives said. The English concessions in conjunction with the embargo on tobacco, the growers declared, would mean the BrItlBh-Amerlcan Company could reduce the price pa'd Amer ican growers, who would havo no other out let for the big export crops. Charges of bad faith by England nnd demand for stern retaliatory measures wero made by Senator Swanson, Virginia. Joel Foit. of Clrksvllle, Tenn., hinted that Eng land's unexpected embargo might "show collusion on the part of that Government with the Imperial Tobacco Company or with the American Tobacco Company." Fort explained that on Information re ceived at the State Department that Great Britain would not include tobacco In em bargoed products, farmers had devoted In creased acreage to tobacco. Placing of the tobacco on the embargo list last week, he said, had thrown the growers Into a panic. Unless redress Is forthcoming, Fort said, tobacco prices would drop to ruinous levels. Senator Swanson urged a drastic protest by the State Department. "England doesn't care anything about fair play," said Senator Martin. "I think a threat of retaliation would go a long way toward alleviating conditions." The tobacco growers will formally pre. sent their case to Secretary Lansing to. morrow. SENATOR OLIVER FAVORS TAX ON $1000 INCOMES Asserts $3000 Limit Is Unfair At tacks Revenue Measure WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 Asserting that the income tax sect on of the Democratic revenue bill Is unfair because it exempts from taxation all persons getting less than 13000 a year, Senator George T. Oliver, of Pennsylvania, today advocated a tax appll cable to every person having an income of 11000. His speech was a general assault on the Democratic measure. He said a contlnua t'on of the present policy of having only persons receiving In excess of 33000 a year pay the entire Income tax would prove dan gerous, because those who do not pay direct taxes have little interest in the Government.

Many claim that tho number of grouse permitted to be killed In ono day Is too high and that oven tho figures as I havo placed them, four during one day, Is too great: that because of In creased ability of HportBmon to covor ground through tho uso of the automobile, Increased ability to kill through tho use of better guns and ammunition and additional ex pertness In tho uso of guns, tho Increase of hunters, the decrease of territory wherein men may hunt, etc., some positive action must bo taken If our birds arc to be perpetuated."
