As Captain Gearty, he was In com
mand of Company A, First Pennsylvania
Iteglment, when It was federalized soon
, after the United States entered the war.
He, went to Camp Hancock, Augusta,
Ga., and was there until a few months

Mrs. O'Neill today was deeply shocked
by the report of her son's death, but
patriotically declared she would offer
her'other son, John, seventeen years old,
willingly She said she would give fifty
more sons if she had them.
O'Neill's father, who Is fifty years
old, declared" he would offer his services
in an effort to avenge his fon's death.
The dead soldier was a member of
Company' M, old ,Slxth Pennsylvania In
fantry. In rccent? letters to his parents
he described the 'trip overseas, corrob
orating recent letters from other tol

SWINDLER POSED
AS THE PRESIDENT
Woman Gave $50fJ0 to Man
Representing Self as
Wilson
NAME IS WITHHELD
The narrative of a 5000 swlnd'e of
which a Philadelphia woman of wealth
and social prominence was the victim,
was related In United States Commis
sioner Long's office this afternoon by
Captain Matth'ew Griffin, head of the
Secret Service here.
The swindle was revealed at a further
hearing In the case of a man giving the
name of Curtlss Hall, arrested here
about ten daya ago charged with having
Impersonated a United States Secret
Service man.
The name of the woman was not dis
closed. Captain ftrlfibi said she gave a
man supposed to have been sent to her
by President Wilson personally, the
$5000, and that she soon discovered the
whole thing was a fraud.
Captain Griffin objected to releasing
this man on. small ball, and In order
to carry his point related the story of
rlbe swindle and told the Commissioner
tnat. tne description given vy me vicum
of the swindle tallied with that of Hill.
The commissioner held Hill In $6000
ballfor a further hearing. Meanwhile
an effort will be made to Induce the
woman who gave up the 15000 to take
a look at the prisoner. Captain Griffin
said the victim had expressed a desire
to keep out of any further trouble over
the Incident, and reiuseu point DianK to
see Hill.
The" money was given In the form ot
a subscription to 'the Belgian relief

WAR BOARD ASKS
POWER CONTROL
&rf
Plants
UTILIZES MINE WASTE
Waahln'Rton, Aug. 2. (By I. N. S.).
Emergency , legislation to meet the
present power shortage In the Fast,
which Is hampering many war indus
tries, including shipbuilding, will be
nsked by the Administration as soon as
Congress reconvenes. ,
A bill authorizing the President to
take over, construct, extend and oper
ate power plants and transmission lines,
drawn by the war Industries board,
was placed In the hands of Chairman
Sims, of the House Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee, today.
Under the bill It Is proposed to con-
otrunt Iiiiva rnwftr r-riprnftnr- nlnntc-
i,,n,!inioK- nt th mnntlis nt nnni
mines, where waste from the mines and
culm of comparatively little value could
be utilized In the generation of power.
The power could be transmitted over
high tension wires to any Industry
within a radius of 300 miles of the
mines.
It Is proposed also to utilize various
dams already constructed by the Gov
ernment' for purposes of navigation,
principally In Ohio, Minnesota and Ar
kansas, for the generation of hydro-electric
power.
.Government Hubaldy
The bill as drawn by the war Indus
tries board would permit the President
to stimulate power production by fur
nishing to various companies the "excess
cost" of extending already existing
plants. This would, In effect, be a Gov
ernment subsidy for power plants.
Chairman Sims Is opposed to the "ex
cess cost" feature of the bill, and also
to a provision which would appropriate
$200,000,000 as a revolving fund with
which to carry out the purposes of the
act'. He believed the bill could be passed
mucli more quickly If expenditures wero
merely authorized, leaving It to the
House Appropriations Committee to fur
nleh the money as required.
Sims vvill attemptto convert the bill
Into an amendment to the water power
leaBlng bill now before the House, as a
means of carrying through the leasing
bill more speerlly under the guise of an
emergency measure. This course Is cer
tain to create great opposition 'In both
houses,
Oppoaltlon to Xeaalnc Plan
The emergency measure was found
necessary because there is no possi
bility that the water-power leasing bill
will In any way stimulate power produc
tion before the end of the war. It pro
poses leasing water power sites for
periods of (fty years nnd allows three
-years for preliminary surveys. Opposi
tion to the major measure is grow
ing, and there Is some ground for be
lieving It may be defeated, although R
Is an Administration measure.

Government Not Likely to Take Over

There U no likelihood of big power

KAISER TRICKS
It was a long series of despica
ble Teutonic tricks that brought
the United States into the war.
One of the tricks is related in
this week's installment of "THE
EAGLE'S EYE." The facts are
furnished, by William J. Flynn,
former chief of the United States
Secret Service.
KAISER FEARS
Piussia is ripe for revolt. The
junkers know it. Wllhelm knows
it. How are they planning to
avoid the danger? B, F. Kos
poth, the Evening Public Ledger
correspondent at Berne, Switzer
land, tells. He says the govern
ing powers are deliberately incit
ing the people to revolt, know
ing that the army is strong
enough to crush them forever.
