t urging th pnUo to h patient pending
rtrrr of a1 tM an undertaking upon
Which the Bureau now 1 engag ed,
tm Bureau' statement Mid:
"In vfcnr of th tact that statements have
appeared In th peer to the effect tht the
Bureau, ot fltidrd will fenmtlate a test
which miy b wH(l by any purchaser to
, detect at, onee an Interior product. It )
com Rtrnmrr to correct any false lm
tiremlnn that may have been aroused and to
vM a brief summary of tha situation.
"In th flrat place, no ruch simple test la
Imown In th present state of'the acltnca of
ttotrotatm technology. In the early day
of tha petroleum Industry, when all our
Maltnea, kero. fuel oils and ltibrlcat
tHr oil were derived from ona source, via.
Pennsylvania crude petroleum, a simple
measurement ot tH specific gravity, or what
mount to tha same tlilnr. tha Qauma num
ber, by mean of a hydromtlcr, served aa a
fairly reliable indication ot the qualities ot
the product.
"Today, however, the epeclfta gravity test
ta virtually- worthies ai a check on tha
ttMablllty of a gasoline, for example, to;
a riven motor equipment The reason why
thtt Is so Is that many new oil fields have
fcaart opened up In recent yearn that yield
petroleums of very different physical and
ehemlaal properties, and new methods of
manufacture have been Introduced that yield
product having very different properties
In no way related to the specific gravities.
"The problem la on extremely compli
cated one. and presupposes n definition of
gasoline. It Is highly probablo that the
specification or definition of standard caao
llne and the tests that will bo necessary
to determine whether the gasoline complies
wltn the specification will be quite compll
eated and will require the services of a
trained chemist to make thnm.
"It seems most probable that the deflnl
ttomof gasoline will have to bo based on
the percentage that distills over between
pedfled temperatures when the distillation
hi Carried out under specified condition,
This distillation test, speaking In nontech
nical terms. Is a measure of the freedom
with which tha gasoline will vaporise.
"The gasoline must not vaporize too freely
for two reasons! one, that It would not bo
aafe, and, secondly-. Its loss In storage, by
evaporation, would be too great. Hence,
the specification may have to contain limita
tions of the percentage distilling over below
certain temperature, coupled, perhaps,
rfth a proviso that certain percentage
shall distill over below other fixed tempera
w ,turea,ln order that requisite amount otlow
boiling constituents shall be present to in
jure easy starting of an engine.
. "Likewise the specification must contain
s - provision that all must distill over below
a certain maximum temperature. In order to
exclude from tha gasoline the heavier
petroleum distillate, such na kerosene.
"Complicated as uch a specification ns
ha been briefly outlined above may seem
to the layman, It la not at all Improbable
that other tests must bo devised to limit
the percentages of no-called aromatlo and
unsaturated hydrocarbons that may be per
mitted In a good motor gasoline,
"Another point about which there Is
often a misunderstanding Is. the relative
efficiency of high and low eenstty gasolines.
It la common opinion of gasoline user
'- .that; gasoline of loV upeclno gravity (or
high Baumo reading) Is more efficient In
that they can get more miles out of a
gallon. This Is not true If the motor enulp-
Went la adapted to ,the fuel used.
"i "Legislative bodla aro beginning to take
H this question, and much of this legisla
tion 1 certain to be Ill-advised, although
enacted with the best Intentions, because
It cannot In the nature of things recelvo
'the careful consideration of technical ox
crt that Is required for the satisfactory
solution of question, of this kind,"

Arguments obout the seating of delegate
In the thlrteentl- biennial convention ot the
International Ladles' Garment Worker'
Union at the second session In Scottish Itlte
hall today Ucumo almost riotous with
hisses, hoot and catcall when a Xew
Yorker was named far seating,
William I'ovlotsky. of Cutters' Local No.
1, New York, was charged with having at
tacked the ogur.ts of the unlcn In circulars
written and distributed by him during the
recent strike, rovlotsky threatened the
convention "with revenge" If he was un
seated, but his threat nevertheless resulted
In a vote which Kent him from the hall. In
his defense he read from the circular he
had written, but they were met with hoot
and hisses.
Whon a shuffling and a movement In the
back of the loll became noticeable, Presi
dent Benjamin Schleslnget stepped to the
speaker's table and after several calls for
order tho nolso was hushed.
Two hundred and fifty delegates and as
many visitor were on hand as the second
day of the convention opened, and officers
prepared to get the more Important busi
ness under way. Yesterday, when the con
vention began In Scottish Itlte Hall, Uroad
and Itaco streets, the session were de
voted to addresses, of welcome and pre
liminaries. Appointment of the resolutions commit
tee, which will digest and recommend action
on proposal affecting the union and the
entire garment Industry of the United
States,, was on the schedule 'for the morn--Ing.
session. With a membership greater
than at any time since the union was
founded, leaders say tho organization Is In
a position to take courses of action Im
possible heretofore.
The question of most Importance to gar
ment manufacturer throughout the country
Is a proposition to abolish "piecework" and
put all employes on the "week work" or
salary basis, which. It Is generally admitted,
Will be the principal consideration of most
of tho delegates.
There Is every Indication that the adop
tion of a measure to abolish "piecework"
could be brought about easily. The up
heaval this would cause In the trade In
men's and women's wear Is n vital concern
with manufacturer. Many of the agree
ment between the union and manufac
turer are based on the "piecework" sys
tem. "Piecework" Is so Intimately a part;
of tho Industry that the abolition of It
would bring about unprecedented condi
tions and cause many readjustments.
Another question the convention will act,
on Is the provision for "strike benefits,",
the payments made to union members from
the union treasuries while strikes are In
progress. Heretofore these payments have
been made from the treasuries of the local
unions In the affected districts.
QUAKKUTOWN.Oct 17. The routine of
synod business this morning was broken by
a discussion of whether the synod haa re
solved Into a meeting placo simply Jo trans
act church business. The Itev, I. M. 8.
Isenberg, of Philadelphia, the newly elected
president of the syhod, declared that a
friend of his had expressed to him the feel
ing that such was the case.
The Itev. Mr. Isenberg declared that he
believed there was a splendid opportunity
at the synod sessions to create a spiritual
Impression. There were several suggestion
that the synod go back to the former plan
of continuing In session over Sunday when
the synod, In all-day devotional services and
the presence of synod pastors In pulpits
of the community where the synod was
held, would charge the community with a
religious atmosphere. The Hev. Dr. T. J.
Hacker, of Iteadlng, summed the discussion
with the statement, "If you want simon
pure business efficiency elect a president of
the synod for a stated term of years, as
our Lutheran brethren do."
When the Jlev. C. B, Schanakcr. ot
Allcntown, read a report suggesting a num
ber of changes in the synod procedure, the
Itev. William D. Happel, of Lebanon,
former president of the synod, declared
many of , the suggestions were revolu
tionary. However, all the ten clause ot
the report Were adopted when they were
read Individually. Most discussion was
aroused over the suggestion to refuse the
privilege of floor to any representative of
a church department, missions, educational
Institution, eta, until after the report
of these branches aro read. The Itev, A. It.
Bartholomew, of Philadelphia, general
secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions,
objected strenuously to thl action,' but It
wo adopted. In the course of discussion
relative to appropriations and money loaned
the Allentown College for Women the Itev.
Mr. Schanaker said, "Please remember that
tho synod cannot legally borrow money
tor any of Its educational Institutions. It
Was ao decided two year ngo In a friendly
suit in the Berk County court"
At the opening ot tho eesslon this morn
ing these officer were elected In addition
to the president, the Itev, I. M. 8. Isenberg,
of Philadelphia, who was elected last night:
The ltert Thomas. W. Dlckerson, Iteadlng,
vice, president; the Bev. Joseph A. Peters,
Allentown, corresponding secretary; the
Bev. Ellam J, .Snyder, reading clerk,
Thts afternoon members of the con
ference went -on an automobile pilgrimage

Dy GEORGE MARTIN
NBtV YOniC, Oct. 17. Out as "honor
system" warden of Sing Sing, Thomas Mott
Osborne Is established In New York today
as consulting engineer on prison reform
to any penal Institution In tho world. Serv
ices free.
"I am still convinced that there are no
bad men In the world," said Osborne today.
"I am sure my method Is right. Homo day
It will be tho only one In use."
"Do you think,"-Osborne was asked, ''that
Dr. Arthur Warren Walte, who confessed to
murdering hi wife' parents. Is a good
man? Or, I he bad, Inherently criminal
and vicious?''
CALLS WAITE ABNORMAL
"I think Doctor Walte Is Insane." said
the warden. "Not violently Insane, but ex
cessively abnormal. Ho ha control over
hi mental processes, but his mind is bo
warped and distorted that his murdering of
his father and mother-in-law by poison Is
not surprising.
"I hare studied Walte In the death house
at Sing Sing. Hi predominant character
istic are excessive self-centering, utter
selfishness and extreme eensuouBness."
"Do you think a man llko Walte can be
redeemedT"
"Np. But that means nothing. Walte
Is one of his kind In a generation. He Is
unique. He is not even a type."
"But Walte Is under sentence of death,"
It was suggested. "Do you think he should
dlo In the electrlo chair as he has been
condemned to die?"
"No. I would not kill Walte. I would
not kill anybody. Walte should be locked
up for life, I think."
"In solitary?"
"No. he should be permitted to mingle
with the other men In prison. He will al
ways be aa he has been and Is now, but he
should not be put to death."
"What does he Bay about himself now
that he has been In the deathbouse several
months?"
"He says what I very .seriously doubt;
that he ha had a change ot heart. He
Writes poetry. Oh awful poetry. And he
reads the Bible. Toor fellow, 1 believe he
thinks he Id having a fine time. Just as
he had them when he wa racing up nnd
down Broadway In an automobile and pre
tending to perform delicate operation at
hospitals. He still has hi feminine admir
er and ha revels In them Just as much as
ever.
HONOR TSTEM PBOPRIt
"You would be astounded at the number
and sort of women who write to him. You
should see the line of gush that some ot
them send him, to which he replies In kind.
One woman, has discovered that ahe Is
his soul-mate.
"But Walte' case stands alone. In all
