MILK DELIVERY AT 7 A.M. IS PREDICTED FOR CITY Consumers May Even Get Prod uct Later if Plan Goes Through Milk deliveries at 7 ocloclt In the morning or later Is one of the results of the war predicted for Philadelphia, according to a statement Issued today by a member of the Milk exchange. The matter was brought up at a meeting of the exchange on Wednesday, und it will be followed up at the next meeting, to be held on the last Wednesday in October. "One result of the present high prices Is the necessity for the milk dealer to prac tice economy In every possible way," said Joseph Gravensteln. secretary of the ex change, and n member of the firm of Ornvenateln & Co. "The later delivery of milk will sae many accidents One of the most serious things we hae to face Is tho accidents caused to teams and men on the slippery streets, covered with ice and snnw In winter time We figure that the milk dealers ot the city lose $50,000 per year on milk that is stolen and on bottles that are broken. The late delivery would prevent this waste." He went on to say that the present condition of the labor situation and or the rising cost of milk forced the dealers to do everything possible to cut down ex penses. One concern, not a member of the Milk Exchange, was In favor of the new plan. This company said that In addition to the other savings, It would be possible to concentrate the work done during the day, and thus cut down the number of em ployes. "In addition to the financial view of the situation, seven o'clock deliveries will be much more agreeable to the men and be much easier on the horses. This system Is In operation during the winter In Washing ton and In all the western cities," In answer to the question. "What will the consumer have to vay about the late delivery?" Mr. Qravensteln said: "It Is Impossible to please everyone. Not even Abe Lincoln could do that. However, I believe that all of our reasonable customers will agree to the wisdom and Justice of the move. It Is not practical In hot weather but In cold weather It will prevent the freezing of milk, and It Is easily possible for each customer to keep a bottle of milk sweet from the day previous. In the cases of babies, their bottles are usually made uJ for the whole day at one time The later delivery would' merely move the fresh lot forward one feeding. I do not see that it would work any hardship. No customer wants to receive his milk with a 'top hat' on It. as we call the part extending out ot the neck of a frozen bottle." The large dealers In the city confirmed the fact that the matter had been brought up. but said that they preferred to make no statement until me Buoject had been further discussed. They alt appeared to be 'Mvorablt to the proposition, but would net .,-., STRIKE THREATENS WHEAT MOVEMENT Grain Crop May Be Tied Up on Lakes by Walkout of- 10,000 Seamen COAL ALSO AFFECTED CLi:Vi:LAND, O..

America's bread basket may nt be de livered thlH winter.

During the last two months of every navigation season all of the ves sels are loaded to capacity. They bring down a full cargo of grain and return with a full cargo of coal. This year the coal shipments to the upper lr.ke pcrts were delaed so long that Judge Lnvett Issued a priority order, giving right of wav to coal bound for upper lnke ports, l'jpresjntntlvfs of northwestern States con vinced the Administration that unless such a step were taken there would hi- danger of the inhabitants freezing there this win ter.

The delivery loop will run from Broad and Arch streets under Arch street to Kighth street, under' Eighth street to Locust street and under Locust street to Broad street again.

The Ulghth street leg contract was awarded to Smith. Hauser & Maclsaacs, Inc., N. Y. Mr. Mclsaacs announced Informally more than a month ago that he would not accept the contract. He has failed, however, to notify the Tran sit Department of his Intentions, and for that reason no plans have been made for rcadvertislng the work. President Jerome II.

SZZ3SiS3&W&ii PREDICT VICTORY FORINDEPENDENTS Sentiment Aroused by Fifth Ward Murder Can Be Made Into Votes MANY CONFERENCES HELD Housed to nctlon by tho great mass meeting In the Academy of Mtlslc, Phila delphia's Independents see the light of vlc- "" anean lor a now party. According to consensus of opinion ex pressed tho time now Is ripe for a general defeat of the Organization. The oppor tunity Is ono which tnould not be over looked. Such was the suggestion of Thomas F. Armstrong, chairman of tne town meeting; Charles P. Donnelly, lender of tho Demo cratic city committee; George D. Porter, former Director of Public Safety, Judge Bonnlwell and otners. Tho Board of Trade Is tho only civic or ganization that has yet shown signs of tak ing a stand In the Fifth Ward outrage. William It. Tucker, the secretary, said ho was not authorized to speak for that organization, but he knew that tho senti ment of tho Bonid of Trade was opposed to such demonstrations as attended tho re cent primary election. He said: 'As an organization the Philadelphia Board of Trade has never taken a part In politics, as Its membership covers nil hhades of political views, but I am satis fied that no matter what tho political alignment of Its members they would be found opposing methods that have char acterized the recent Etrlfe between the political factions." TURN SENTIMENT INTO VOTES Many of those who discussed the possi bilities, notably Mr. Donnelly, did not care to "ruth into print," but they baw a splen did chance to turn the sentiment at the mass-meeting Into an overwhelming ma jority of votes In the November election. All that Is wanted, and It was asserted that will soon be forthcoming, Is the leadership that can elze the situation, bring together the various threads of public Interest and elect a city, county and councllmanlo ticket which will represent all that Is opposed to tne smltn-varo combination. Mr. Donnelly and his friends In the Dem- ocratlc City Committee, through the regular, cnmniuiee on organization, are ready to discuss fusion with the town meeting com mittee Just as soon a3 It Is organized. Sen ator Penrose's friends frankly said that If ho Is "wise" he will divert whatever Influ ence he may have In Philadelphia to the suddenly awakened Independent movement. In the Judgment of many of his allies, it would bo strange If the senior United States .Senator failed to appreciate the significance of tho revolt In this city nnd its effect on the gubernatorial fight of next year. Independent leaders, however, such ns Mr. Armstrong, and Judge Bonnlwell, held that all support for the Independent ticket, coming from whatever source, must bo ac corded "without cc-ndltlons" that Is, that support from Penrobe, for instance, does not mean that he can control the candidacies When Judge Bonnlwell. who started the moement for the town meeting, was asked If be supposed Senators Penrose and Mc Nichol would break away from the to-called harmony "blate" of the Vare organization, he replied: I would answer that question In this way; there It not a scintilla of doubt but that the Vare ticket will be de feated and that four real, respectable candidates will be elected. One of the signs that showed the trend of local politics was the flood of pledges of support which poured In upon tho managers of the new movement. An other was the prompt action of Mr. Arm strong, Cyrus D. Fobs, Jr., and George D. Porter, who conferred throughout the day. Plans for the formation of an Independent ticket rapidly advanced. Mr. Armstrong spent the day calling upon leading independents with a view to form ing a workible executive committee which will control the nominations of the new party. It was asserted by thoso In touch with tho situation that tho membership of this committee, about seven or eight, will surprise the opposition by Its Importanco and appeal to the people. It Is probablo that the name3 of the members of the executive commltteo will be announced next Monday. Meanwhile a score of men are being con sidered. District Attorney Rotan has signified to the Republican City Committee that he In tends to remain on tho Republican ticket. It has been suggested by some of the lead era of the Independent movement that he withdraw from the Vare-Smith ticket and head the ticket the Independents will placo In tho field. Mr. Rotan might, however, place his O, IC on the plans for an Immente banner that will be hung In front of the City Com mltteo headquarters, Eleventh and Chest nut streets, early next week. Rotan's pic ture and name will be more prominently displayed than that of any other candidate It Is probable that Rotan will be asked to accept the Independent nomination, In addition to the Republican. GERMAN DESIGNS REVEALED State Department Convinced of Plan for U. S.-Japan Break WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. Conviction that Germany long has tried to stir ud trouble between the United States and Japan was admitted by the State Depart ment today. The ZImmermann plot was pointed to as one evidence of the Insidious Teuton work to this end. Further, It was recalled that previous to the Russian revolu tion German propaganda suggested the Russo-Japanese alliance as a menace to this and other nations. Viscount Ishll, of the Japanese commis sion In this country, has referred In recent speeches to the clumsy German efforts at Intriguing with American-Japanese rela tions.

A heavy storm is reported at Au burn and Crcstview, Fla. Five persons are reported killed and several injured. MOBILE, Ala., Sept. 29. Pensacola, and Iti environs early today were lost to the outside world. How this section of the Gulf coast fared from tho West Indian hurricane which flared up out of the South early yesterday was still unknown, as recounts of damage were being taken In other sections. Last reports before communications snapped were that the little coast towns were battling a mo-mile gale. Mobile weathered a ninety-slx-mlle breeze with less property damage than had been fenred. Today the city set out to restore Biiiuiereii telephono and telegraph systems, re-cqulp the business section with plate glass, mend ripped roofs, restore street car service nnd patch things up generally. The hurricane this morning, leaving a patn or wreckage nlor.g the coast from cast Louisiana to west Florida, trailed In a northeasterly direction through Alabama and Horlda, according to Weather Bureau reporters, who believed Jts force rapidly diminishing. It was scheduled to bwcu. back to sea again off the South Atlantic early today. Storm warnings were posted from Jacksonville to Fortress Monroe and along the west Florida coast.

Move to oust Senator La Follelte from the Senate opened today with the introduc tion by Senator Kellogg, of Minnesota, of resolutions adopted by the Public Safety Commission of Minnesota demanding La Follette'a expulsion. Tho resolutions were referred to the Com mittee on Privileges and Elections. Following are the resolutions: Whereas, Senator Robert M. La Follette made an address of n disloyal and sedi tious nature at a public meeting before a large audience at Hie Nonpartisan League convention in St. Paul on the 20th of September; Whereas, the utterances of Senator La Follette, with all the prestige of his high office ns a Senator of the United States, made under protection of a guarantee of the president of the Nonpartisan League that no disloyal expressions would bo permitted during the alleged confer ence between producers and consumers on the high cost of living, have already served to create treasonable sentiment In the Stato of Minnesota, and, being spread through the public press, can have no other effect than to weaken the support of the Government In carrying on the war, be is hereby . Resolved, That the Minnesota Com mission of Public Safety respectfully pe tition the Senato of the United States to Institute proceedings looking to tho expulsion o: the said Robert M. La Follette from the Senate as a teacher of disloyalty nnd sedition, giving aid and comfort to our enemies and hindering the Government In the conduct of the war. Be It further resolved, That copies of this resolution, together with copies of La Follette's speech, be forwarded to the President of the Senate and Senators Nelson and Kellogg. Tho resolution was signed by Governor A. A. Burnqulst, Attorney General Lyndon Smith and the following members of the commission: C. W. Ames, St. Paul; John Llnd, Minneapolis: John F. McGee, C. II. March and A. C. Weiss, Duluth. PRESENTED WITHOUT COMMENT Senator Kellogg Introduced the resolution without comment and would say nothing about It later. "I shall make no comment whatever," he said. "I have Just received the communica tion. I haven't even had time to read tho speech." Vice President Marshall also laid before the Senate four messages addressed to him, urging Impeachment und expulsion of La Follette. These messages also were referred to the Privileges and Elections Committee. One from the Washburn (Wis.) Loyalty League said: One thousand citizens of this com munity hereby unite In appealing to the Senate of the United States that our Senator, Robert M. La Follette, be im peached for his treasonable utterances and disloyalty to the Government. With re gret do we hereby indict the Senator for criminal sedition. Another from W. A. Coombe, Washing ton, D. C, read; As a citizen of the United States I mobt strongly urge the expulsion of Rob ,ert M. La Follette from your august body, upon the grounds of seditious and treasonable utterances In a speech re cently made by him. A third from C. A. Cannon, New York city, read: 1 havo a son now In the aviation corps In France fighting for his country, flag and world freedom. As a good Ameri can citizen I ask for the Impeachment of Mr. La Follette. After his seditious speech of icterday he Is not a fit man to represu us in our Senate. When our sons are giving up their lives for the cause of their country should they bo compelled to listen to such traitors In our midst? La Follette was not In tho Senate when the resolution and the messages were pre sented. He entered a moment later and walked to his seat. He evidently did not know what had been done, or It he did he displayed no hint of his feelings. Few members of tho Senate knew what was In the resolution, as it was not read The agreement by which it was presented made It appear Ilk Any ordinary petition many of which aro presented dally and most of the Senators were talking among themselves, clearly without knowledge of the significance of Kellogg's nctlon.
