RAILWAYS WILL URGE
IEW REGULATION BOARD
Plan Recommendation for Fed

tion Branches "
ATLANTIC CITT, Oct. 19. Alfred! P.
Thorn, of Washington, counsel for the rail
way executives' advisory board that failed
' io come to terms with President Wilson
over the Railway Brotherhoods' demands,
outlined before the American Hardware
Manufacturers' Association here today the
square-deal program the railroads will pre
sent to the Federal commission appointed
to Investigate tho probable effect of the
Ight-hour law and the whole subject of
national and State regulation.
"State lines should not exist so far as
transportation Is concerned," Thorn said,
"and for that reason the railroads will ask
that all regulations of carriers shall be
vested In ono national regulating power, not
against State rights, but for the main
tenance of State rights.
"We shall ask that bu one regulating and
tsupervlsory power shall have control of the
issuing of stocks and bonds of railroads,
itnd that this power shall be tho United
States Government.
"We shall urge also a system of national
incorporation to compel every railroad to
take out a Federal charter and thereby
place Itself wholly under the control of the
Government, which should be given author
ity to build up and maintain a national
transportation service.
"We- shall ask that the present power
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
toi regulate rates and' other questions be
taken away from that body and , vested- In
a. Kederul Hallway Commission. The pres
ent body waa created primarily to correct
Abuses on the part of the rallroadsr and
W do not believe that a board concerned
with the infliction of punishment upon
sujrlers! can come with the proper frame
of mind to the consideration of questions
f development, j
"We want a board related to the rail,
rueda aa the Federal Reserve Hoard is re
laud to the banks. Proceeding along this
line we? shall advocate tho creation of trans
portation regions, each with a transporta
tion commissioner of the highest qualifica
tions, to study Its transportation needs and
report with lecommendatlons to the Federal
Railway Commission In Washington,"

falling unconscious on the floor of the
Reformed Synod In the last day's session
here, the Rev. (1. P.. Raeger, of I.ltltz. Is
In a serious condition. He fell after he

J600 to $700 a yeari the brlcklaer gets
6 to 6 a day. The preacher spends
seen years In preparation for the ministry;
the bricklayer prepares In two years The
minister payj about 1700 for his books, etc.,
while the bricklayer pays HO for his tools;
the preacher has an accepted part to repre
sent In dress, whllo the bricklayer wears
what he pleases.
"It has been said the minister Is a poor
financier. Let him exchange placi'j for a
year with his deacon, who earns $6000,
and If the deacon tries to get nlong on
$700 you will see which Is the poor nnan
cler." Dr. A. R. Uartholomew, of Philadelphia,
asserted that many old ministers were
holding on because they could not afford
tb ge up. He said these congregations
are going back.
Then the Rev. B. F. Luckenblll Jumped
up nnd said:

LOVE TANGLE HALTS
FUNERAL OF WOMAN
Stranger Appears at Home of
Newly Widowed Man.
Trouble Starts
The funerol of Mrs. William Daniels, an
aged negress of 2238 Harlan street, was
delayed for a short tlmo today on account
of a misunderstanding.
When the "mourners had assembled a
strange woman knocked at the door and
demanded admittance, Martha Nixon, who
lived at tho Daniels home, refused to ad
mit tho caller. The Nixon woman declared
that the visitor was formerly In loo with
James Daniels, Hon of the dead woman,
and should not bo allowed In the house. It
appears that the strange woman also ac
cused Martha of being In loo with James,
James was neutral,
The visitor refused to leave, and. accord
ing to tho police, she was ejected by tho
Nixon woman. The subsequent actions
of the visiting woman was responsible for
the breaking of several windows by vari
ous artlutes used In the kitchen and dining
room.
Many of the neighbors, It appears, con
cluded that there waa a misunderstanding
In the Daniels family and several persons,
In fact, assembled In tho street.
As the argument continued some one
aent a call for the police to the Twenty
eighth and Oxford streets station and also
to the Nineteenth and Oxford streets sta
tion. When the police arrived the visitor con
cluded to disappear. The police took the
Nixon woman, who waa overcome with
grief, to the Nineteenth and Oxford streets
station. She will have a conference later
with Magistrate. Collins,

on Scent of African Pilferer
A fastidious negro with a fondness for
colors has taken some of the cheer out of
the chorus girls In the "Hip, Hip, Hooray I"
show,
Several of tho dainty dancers at the
Metropolitan Opera Ilouso saw the man
walking around tho dressing rooms with a
nonchalant air. Some one said It was "Just
aeorgc." The girls breathed u Blgh of re
lief, although they didn't know why. Thea
suddenly (leorge disappeared. Ho did thirty-three
pnlrs of lavender and pink tights,
two dozen atomisers, a half dozen pocket
books, soma dainty lingerie und a doxen
bottles of perfume,
Incidentally Ueorge operated so care
fully that ho threw the houto cops off the
scent, Hut the sleuths at City Hall say
they have a clue. They declare there's a
woman at the bottom of It From Investi
gation made so far It appears that "Oeorge"
Is known as a dressing-room thief. He
was In 'love with n dashing-looking maid
of his. own color, It (a said, and promised
to see that she was togged out In good
styK
Uut Oeorge waa fickle. It Beems after
picking the choice finery 'from the dressing
rooms, Ueorge brought the dainty things to
another girl. The first girl waited In vain.
Then her wrath bubbled up like (hat of the
women we see In tho movies, and she told
the sleuths.
They have a very emphatto clue and the
scent may lead, to the perfumery, the tights,
the lingering lingerie which Oeorge spirited
away, and to Oeorge himself.

STATE REGENT'S POLICY
Mrs. Oeorge C. Suulrs, State regent of
the Minnesota D. A R. and a vend Mete tor
president of th rational orgatilxat on. Mid
today that she cherished no animus what
ever nga.nkt Miss Kmma U Crowell. tlo

rmnement to hao Mrs. S-iulres nddrcw the
1'ennsylvanla 1). A. R. conference, which
Is holding a three days' session In the Ilelle-
VUMrslrsnrSrre's said that her Islt hero had
no political significance and she UPP,I
the reasons advanced by Miss Cronell for
not allowing her to address the l'enns)Ha-
nla conference. o..i
"I cannot Imagine." said Mrs Smire.
"how the Imprerslon got around that I
waa disturbed because I was not nske.1
to speak. I hae the best possible feeling
for Mrs, Spence. who nas uecii i'"""''
fine Bnd loely to mc, I found her a dear.
scnsU, straight-forward lady.
REASON FOR STOrOVDR
'il came to Philadelphia with Mrs. T.
W.' Spence, honorary regent of the Den
Jamln Talmadge Chapter, D. A R.. of
Milwaukee Mrs. Spence wanted to stop
off at Philadelphia to see a picture of her
grcat-great-great-grnndfather. General W II
Ham Floyd, a signer of the Declaration of
Independence from New York. Mrs. Spence
had never seen the picture of her fore
father which hangs In Independence Hall.
She Is a member of the Descendants of
the Signers organization.
"I did not lsit Philadelphia ns ft Presi
dential candidate. I came ns n private
member of the U. A. It, and I desired to
stop off In Pnltrdelphla to sec old friends
and fainlly connections, among whom Is
Mrs. Susan C Frnzer. of Lancaster, an
ex-regent of the Pennsylvania conference.
There was no political Intent In my visit
and I cannot Me why anybody should give
a political Interpretation to It.
"I agree with Miss Crowell that It would
be unfair for mc to address the Pennsyl
vania conference If the other two candidates
wcro not accorded the same privilege. I
hae been invited to speak In New York,
Ohio and Tennessee. 1 have no hard feel
ings for unibody, least of all Miss
Crowell."
MISS CROWHLI.'S ATTITUDE
In explaining her attitude In the matter.
Miss Crowell raid today:
"Article 2, section 21 of the bylaws of
the Pennsylvania State Conference, D. A. R.
provides that 'no candidates for national
ofllce who are not members of Pennsyl
vania chapters shall be nom nated or In
dorsed for such national otllce nt tho state
conference, unless notice that such action
will be asked has been sent to nil chapters
with the call of tho conference.'
"Mrs. Squires Is one of the three cnndl
ates for the national presidency which will
bo voted upon at the national concresi In
Washington next April. As I have shown.
oUr bylaws prohibit us from nominating
or Indorsing anybody for this ofllce only
under the conditions prescribed In our by
laws. "I feel that unless all three candidate!
were given nn opportunity to adlrcss our
conference. It would bo man festty unfair
to allow Mrs. Squires to deliver an address
here. The only foreign otflccrs ever Invltsd
to our conferences are tho State regents
nnd vice president generals of Stijen ad
Joining Pennsylvania, sue1! ns Ne"f Jerpey,
Ohio, Delaware. Maryland and New Yo'k.
It la true that Mrs, Frank 11. Ellison. State
regent of Massachusetts, and Mrs. Fianklln
P. Shumway, vice State regent of tho same
State, are here; but they wero invited out
of special courtesy to myeo'f.
"In not Inviting Mrs. Squires to epeak.
I acted In accordance with tho bylawH of
pur conference. Mrs. Squires Is not here
as tv representative of Minnesota, but as a
member of the D. A. R. The best of feeling
exists between myself and Mrs. Squires, and
I trust that the Incident Is closed."
The session opened today in the clover
room of the. Ilellnvue-Stratford with an in
vocation by the Rev. Dr. Russell Conwell,
pastor of the Baptist Temple, Droad and
Berks streets.
