c. m tv f-T h' K.' T CAUKTKANK HII I MADE PURELY LOCAL Amended in Senate Committee to Include Philadelphia Conditions Only TWINING LIKES CHANGES Jlayor Also Approves Alterations Do Not Lessen Value of Measure as ."Club" The Salus transit bill, which Is on second reading In tho Senate today, haB been amended, according to a dispatch from Jlarrlsburg, so thnt It will apply only to Philadelphia and not to any other munici pality In tho State where there may be moro than one street railway corporation. The amendment meets with the approval of Transit Director Twining and Mnyor Smith and does noi impair tho value of the bill as a club In the lease negotiations with the Philadelphia llapld Transit Company, The original draft of the Salus bill In section one read In patt as follows: "When the facilities of two public service companies being street railway corpora tions or tho facilities of a street railway corporation and tho facilities of n street railway line owned, leased or operated by A municipal corporation cross nt the same or different levels, or are ndjacent to each ether, It snail he mo uuty to establish tians fer polntn," etc. The clause "the facilities of two public service companies being street railway corporations or" Is striken out. Section 2 read originally, "When the , facilities of two street railway corporations or the facilities of a street railway line owned, leased or operated by a municipal corporation cross or are adjacent to each ether, the commission shall have power to inquire Into tho reasonable necessity of transfer points, etc." The clause "two street railway corpora tions or" was stricken out and In Its place the phrase "a street railway corporation" Inserted. The amendments were made In the Sen ate Judiciary General Committee. As the bill read originally It might apply to any city where there are two or mora transportation companies, but as amended it will refer only to Philadelphia, since this City Is the only municipality In the State where there Is one Independent system and cne municipally owned system. Interest In tho transit situation today centered about a conference between Ellis Ames Ballard, chief counsel for the Phila delphia P.apld Transit Company, and Mayor Smith, in the latter's office in City Hall. After the confercnco the Mayor said they had discussed transit matters, but declined to particularize. As the conference was held at tho re quest of the transit company official, It is expected thtat Mr. Ballard had something to offer tentatively as a step toward the olutlon of tho present chaotic situation. At the present time, administration lead ers admit, the transit company holds the more advantageous position in the transit lease negotiations. This, however, will be reversed If the bills now pending at Har risburg pass, city officials contend. Traction Interests nre bringing every possible pressure to bear for the defeat of this legislative program and the conference today probably will be devoted partly to the consideration of these bills. , Auditor General Defends Acts Continued from Vase One tween the Auditor Generafs books and those of the State Treasurer. ,""Some" one Iras- been stringing you," an iwered Powell.

Ho had received a number of telecrams from rnnxiltimnis in. day urging the bill. Senator Reed, of Missouri, offered an amendment to the draft bill to provide ex emptlon for theological students In recog nized schools. Compulsory military service in a democ racy, declared Senator Weeks, Massachu setts, Is no more repellent and undemo cratic than governmental regulation of wages, compulsory education and com pulsory Insurance for employes. "Tho question we must now consider Is how are we going to give the President what we have decided for him to employ an army," said Weeks. He added: Are wo going to do It In a manner demonstrated oer and oer again as Ill-advised, Ineffective and disastrous, or nre we to turn our nttcntlon to tho experience of other countries and take from the experiences those lessons which will enable us to steer clear of the follies of the past? That Is really the dividing line be tween efficiency and Inefficiency. Whenever we have engaged In a great war It has been necessary to re ' sort to draft to bring it to a successful conclusion. FAILURE OF VOLUNTEERING The Senator drew attention to the fail ure of the volunteer system In the Revo- SELECTION VERSUS VOLUNTEERING; HOUSE DEVELOPS BITTER DEBATE WASHINGTON, April 23. With ecry promise of bitter debate be tween advocates of President Wilson's army selective plan and the majority of the Committee on Military Affairs, who brought In a modified measure, the House today began general discussion of the bill to raise an nrmy to fight against Germany. Chairman Dent, of the Military Affairs Committee, led the fight against the meas ure in the form sought by President Wil son. From the start Representative Dent has advocated a bill which would give the volunteer system a trial before making re sort to the selective plan. In vigorous lan guage today he upheld his right and that of his colleagues who favor the volunteer principle to differ with the President. Dent was "enthusiastically applauded by advocates of a volunteer system when he took the well of the House to defend tho measure fathered by himself and his com mittee colleagues. The galleries were filled. There was no formal time limit for the debate agreed upon. There Is an under standing, however, that general debate will be limited to eighteen hours. This will be followed by debate under the five-minute It was agreed that the opposition to the committee bill would be led by Represen tative McKenzle, Republican, of Illinois. McKenzle Is one of the group of eight men who regardless of politics, has stood from the start squarely behind the measure ad vocated by the President. Representative Kahn, ranking Republican of the Mllltray Affairs Committee, first selected to lead the opposition, will Instead close the gen eral debate 'as the President's spokesman. Representative B. K. Focht. of- Lewls burg was the first Pennsylvania congress man to oppose the President's plan In a speech on the floor of the House. "During the hearings on the army bill, he asked Chairman Dent, of the House Military Affairs Committee, '"was there any expression of doubt as to the poss bll Ity of raising' 2.000,000 men by the volun teer system, when more than that number was raised In that way by the North and tho South In a war of brother against brother?" , , "No," replied the chairman, had then it Is absurd to say we cannot raise the necessary army by volunteers, he n "There Is no doubt that the Congress of the United States, after having declared war, stands ready to make that declarat.on effective," said Representative Dent. "The only thing that hurts me in all of this program is that there should be a feel Ing that the method by which this decla ration shall be carried Into effect should not even be considered by members of Con gress." Mr. Dent explained that the majority re port of the committee provided that the volunteer system should be first tried, and if that method were not successful then the President was authorized to use the selec tive draft. He said that under existing law, provided in the national defense act, the' President could raise an army of THE quickest way to get 1 down stairs is to jump put of the window, slowly pays sometimes, espec ially; in curin' tobacco. j 'THE two years OPEN DEBATE SELECTION MEASURE ' lutlon and the War of 1812 the Mexican Wnr. hn nnld! Referring to It required nlmost the entire twelve months for which they enlisted to train the olunteers In the ways of war, and the training having been completed and the term of enlistment exhausted, al most the entire force withdrew from the service although the war was not over. At the end of tho Civil War our volunteers had ncqulred a training w-hlch made them comparable to any nrmy that ever existed, but the cost of their preparation and the final nc coinpllsliment was appalling. While our Government has been most scrupulous In efforts to fulfill Its ob ligations to the citizens. It has been far too lenient even In times of great national peril In calling upon Its citi zens to reciprocate. The opposition to compulsory training Is based upon the theory that It is not necessary, but when we come to a great national crisis, wo Immediately discover that there Is no time for the preparation we should have made, Tjranny, not democracy, has always Justlned itself by suppressing discussion or action ns unnecessary. Opponents of universal military train ing hae frequently charged that such a system Is undemocratic nnd un-American and should not be tolerated In this country. To that clinrgo I reply that nothing Is un-American which a ma jority of the American people, after mature deliberation, decide Is good for the country, VICTORY CLAIMED Administration leaders declare that by the middle or last of the week the meas ure will hao been enacted Into law In tho form the President desires. This means tho elimination of tho half-selection nnd half-volunteer Idea and the ennetment of the army general staff bill based squarely upon the principle of army selection. Senator Chamberlain, leading the Admin istration fight In the upper house, predicts the passage there of tho bill by a majority of fifteen or twenty. It was estimated today that the House ma jority for the White House bill would be at least twenty-five votes. Senator McKellar nnd his followers de clare that they will resort to no dilatory parliamentary tactics In seeking 'to amend the bill. They will make a stralght-away fight for the inclusion of tne volunteer sys tem In tho bill and, falling in their efforts, us they seem bound to be, will accept tho result without a filibuster. The term "selective conscription" does not adequately define the process for rais ing an army as provided in the Adminis tration army bill. The plan ;alls rather for "Intelligent selection for service based on fltnesi nnd equipment to serve." Hence the term "army selection" will be used when ever possible. nearly 1,000,000 men, which would Include the National Guard and the regular army. Reprosenlatle Mason, of Illinois, a Re publican, early brought Theodore Roose velt Into the debate. He asked Represent ative Dent If Colonel Rooseelt had not offered a division of volunteers for foreign service nnd had his offer been declined. ROOSEVELT DEFENDER "I know tho offer was made, but I can not say ns to Its being declined," said Mr. Dent. Mr. Mason announced his purpose to In troduce a resolution calling upon Secretary Baker to inform Congress whether the Roosevelt offer had been declined, and It so, why. As Mr. Dent approached the close of his discussion on the bill, questions were fired at him from all parts of the chamber. "Does this bill give tho court to which an appeal may be made on drafting a man the right to pass upon the facts," asked Representative Crisp, Democrat, of Georgia, "or does It provide that the board of army men who draft a man may pass also upon the facts?" Mr. Dent sata tne Court of Appeals could pass upon the tacts, though the bill as originally drawn by the War Department did not provide such an appeal. Representative Barnhart, Democrat, of Indiana, wanted to know If the bill provided that where a State had furnished Its full quota of men under the volunteer system, whether additional men could still be drnfted. Mr. Dent said that in such cases the State was given credit for the number of men who had voluntarily enlisted since April 1 in the regular army and the 'Na tional Guard. in what respect," continued Mr. Barn hart, "does your bill hasten the mobiliza tion of an army?" "It allows the President to raise an army at once by the volunteer method, In stead of waiting several months tor the registration and census provided by the War Department," answered Mr. Dent. "LEAVE IT TO WILSON" Representative Ragsdale, Democrat, of South Carolina, asked a long question in dicating that the War Deparlment and the President, after studying the matter fully, had decided upon the method thev thought most advisable In raising an effective army, and asked Mr. Dent If he thought these Administration officials would deliberately suggest a system which they believed was not for the country's best Interests. "Certainly not, and the gentleman knows that I had no such idea when he asked the question," replied Mr. Dent, with some Irritation. "Don't you think that when the question of sending men abroad had to be 'deter mined," continued Mr. Ragsdale, "that there will be considerable difference In the atti tude of possible volunteers?' Do you think they will volunteer as readily to go to Europe?" j "I think we can raise an army oJilf a million men In forty-eight hours by . the volunteer method," replied Mr. Dent. out raawu ?, spent in ""jFJ ' HI- " Representative Lunn, new Social-Demo-crat member, threw a bomb Into the advo cates of volunteering, charging that by op posing the draft they were doing no less than enemies of the republic. WAR COSTS REVENUE UNDER DRAFT BY By o SlnjT WASHINGTON. Anrll 5.1 Preparation of the new revenue bill to meet the first war costs was begun today by the subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee, appointed to draft that measure. The subcommittee expects. to report the bill to tho full committee the latter part of the week, but It Is expected the committee as n whole will consider tho provisions of the bill for a week. At the close of today's meeting of the sub committee these features seemed certain: Taxation of whisky and" other Intoxi cants to the full limit possible without cutting down their use to such an ex tent that the revenues will fall off. HOUSE GETS MEASURE EMPOWERING BOARD TO FIX PRICES ON FOODS WASHINGTON. April 23. The Council of National Defense would bo vested with plenary powers to fix maxi mum prices on food, clothing and fuel dur ing the war and for one yenr after under a resolution Introduced In the House today by Representative Good, Iowa. Food, clothing and fuel producers trad ing In Interstate commerce would bo pro hibited from advancing prices higher than those on December 1, 1916; hut could file appeals for relief from this provision with the council. The National Council of De fense would also he empowered to settle nil labor disputes during the war. SENATE ACTION PLANNED The problem of feeding the United States and its allies during the war period waB taken up In earnest today when the Sen nto Agricultural Committee opened hcnrlng") on the various plans of Senators nnd Ad ministration officials to conserve and In crease the nation's food supply. Secretary of Agriculture 'Houston was called ns tho first witness. Ho favors em powering the Government to fix food prices during the War period. He would des ignate the Council for National Defense as the governmental agency to fix tho prices. The mero existence of such authority prob ably would keep down prices without Its being uctually exercised, the Secretary be lieves. Another plan before the comml'tce pro poses enactment of a law raising the mill ing of wheat from "3 to 81 per cent of the kernel. This would produce at le.xst 18, 000.000 barrels additional annually, It Is estimated. CALLS GREEK PRIESTS RUSSIA'S CHIEFEST FOE Rev. William Fetler, of Petro- grad, Addresses Baptist Ministers Here Dangers surrounding the new Govern ment of Russia were vividly described to day by the Rev. William Fetler. dean of tho Russian Bible Institute, of Petrograd. in an address before the weekly conference of Baptist Ministers In the First Baptist Church, Seventeenth and Sanson! streets. Dean Fetler ald that the greatest foes of the new Government were the anarchists and the reactionary priests of the Greek Church. It was through the influence of Prince Yussopoff, of Tctrograd, mentioned In connection with tho murder of tho Rus sian monk. Rasputin, that Dean Fetler was able to address the conference today. "About two years ago," he said, "through the machinations of Russian priests of the Greek Church, I was arrested and put Into prison and subsequently sentenced to exile in Siberia. Some members of my church were In favor with Prince Yussopoff, who Is closely related to the former Imperial fam ily, and the Prince obtained my release." Asked if he thought the present Govern ment of Russia would stand, Dean Fetler said he believed It would. "There arc," he said, "so many elements of danger, however, that It Is difficult to say what will happen, but the great danger Is from the Greek Church and Its digni taries." "They are all reactionary," he con tinued, "but the church has lost much of Us hold on the people, who are drifting. Then there Is danger from the nnarchlsts and nihilists. Tho latter only represent a few people, but both have no other Interests In mind but their own selfish ones. They care not for the people or for the future. "The best people In Russia are the Zemst vos. For two years," said Mr. Fetler, "they have been working for Russia's good, and their national committee will likely prove the salvation of Russia," Another danger which Mr. Fetler sees as YOUR !

TASKS FOR HOOVER Not only Is H. C, Hoover to assist In Increasing food production nnd conserva tion. It was announced today by the Coun cil of National Defense, but, In addition, he Is expected to ndlse the American Gov ernment as to the best means of assisting the Allies to meet their food needs and to recommend measures for manipulation nnd speculation. "It Is especially desired to have Mr. Hoover report on the experience and action of European Goernments in the matter of food production, conservation and process," said W. S. Clifford, director of the Council of National Defense. "And In addition to making suggestions nnd recommendations nH to the best methods of assisting the Allies to meet their food needs nnd of pre venting the evils nrlslng from speculation and manipulation.

At tho outbreak of the war Mr. Fetler's congregation piesented the army with a properly fitted out Red Cross hospital, but the Greek Church would not permit Its ac ceptance. Later the Zemstvos accepted it.
