what was expected to be lta final open

by an announcement by Chairman Over

to give information to the committee.
The Information concerps an investiga

pro-German sentiments of P. J. II. van
Engelken, one time president of the Fed

Senator Overman said Secretary
Baker, In declining to furnish the In
formation, had written to him that the
department conducted an Inquiry and
believed the charges had not been sus
tained. It was disclosed that the chair
man made the request after Governor
Manning, of South Carolina, had asked
that the charges be investigated by tha
committee.

Vote Is 110 to 93
Continued from Tate (In
In favor of tho resolution gave it the
majority which It received. Without
tho additional votes from Philadelphia
the Vickerman resolution would have
lacked one vote of a constitutional
majority.
Of the ten members of the House-from
Philadelphia who aro allied with the
Penrose forces, four voted "dry" and
live "wet" nnd ono member, Snowden,
was absent.
Thirteen of the Vare members from
Philadelphia voted "dry" nnd seventeen
"wet." Holder was tho only absentee
among the Vare forces.
"Wet" Leaders Clinrge .Vare Deal
"Wet" leaders charge that the Vare
forces bartered away enougn votes to
put the resolution through In n deal
which Is to resul Int tho "dry" members
from up-Stato throwing their strength
to tho Varo forces when tho Philadel
phia charter revision bills come before
the House.
Two years ago Vnre forces pursued
similar tactic.
Through tho agency of much log
rolling they garnered enough votes from
the rural members to defeat tho Heffer
nan bill to take tho police and firemen
out of politics on the floor of the House
and succeeded In smothlng tho charter
revision hills In committee.
Liquor advocates hae given up hope
of defeating the prohibition amendment
In tho Senate. Many of .them concede
that the Senate will pass hto Vlcker

Aska Solid Party Vote
Vickerman said he saw no renson for
debate on the amendment, because It
' "already is a part cf the fundamental
law of the land."
The loader of tho "drys" combated
the argument that the Southern States
put through the amendment "to keep
booze away from the negro."
He cited the vote of New York, Wis
consin, with the big brewing center of
Milwaukee within Its confines, and other
northern States which ratified.
"John Barleycorn Is dead ; booze Is
gone and the liquor business Is gbne
forever," Vickerman shouted,
"In New York the Itepubllcani made
the amendment a party measure," said
Vickerman
"We hnve 181 Republicans In this
House. The Republicans control this
House, not the liquor people.
"We are here to make history for or

In closing he ured'eted .victory for the

which lined the lobby and side aisles of

Representative W. T. Ramsey, of Del

Ramsey presented two bulky packages
of petitions containing "the signatures
of 104,5(11 qualified voters of Philadel
phia, who opposes prohibition." Applause
greeted Ramsey when he declared "wo
are not respons'blo for the action of tho
States which have ratified the amend
ment, but we are responslblo for our
own actions here today.
"I, too, am a Republican," Bald Ram
sey, "and, I glory In the record of that
party which Mr. Vickerman says has
been disgraced so far.
"It was our party which gavo -tho
State Governor Sproul and made It pos
sible for Pennsylvania to bear the lion's
share 'over there.'
"I come from the County of Delaware,
which gave Governor Sproul the great
est majority ever given In that county
and at the same election elected three
"wet" members of tho House. It Is for
you and mo to decide this measure."
Ramsey read from the Declaration of
Independence. He said ho would not
go into the question of property loss-,
but declared the greatest loss would bo
"to tho'men who made this State great
the worklngmen."
"Be fair and vote on this resolution
as you think It your duty to otc," he
pleaded.
"This measure would take nway rights
of citizenship which our people havo
enjoyed since 1776."
Great applause greeted tho close of
Ramsey's remarks.
Nhowalter and I'onler Speak
Representative H. M. Showalter, of
Union, the next speaker for the "drys,"
aid he ngrced with Mr. Ramsey that
every man was entitled to "the pursuit
of life, liberty and happiness."
Showalter ndded that a man was en
titled "to the pursuit of happiness only
o doing as It did not affect tho rights of
others."
Representative David Fowler, Labor
lie, of Lackawanna, was the next
speaker for tho "wets."
"When the funeral of John Darleycorn
takes place," said Fowler, "It will also
be tho funeral of thousands of trado
unions In Pennsylvania."
Fowler said he found In his travels
as a union organizer "more drunken
ness In the 'dry' States of tho youth,
than In Pennsylvania."
Fowler said It was true the Jalls'were
empty In "dry" States, because they had
"shot nil the pollco otllclals."
"I want to tell you the liquor pcoplo
do not control me. .! speak only In be
half of organized labor.
"You mav have tho rlirht to censure
'these people, but jou have not the right
to rob them."
Fowler declared- that It wai no way
to begin a great period of reconstruc
tion by tearing down a great Industry.
Labor Is Not for Itooie
Representative Robert L. Wallace, I
of Lawrence, Bald this was tho happiest
day in his career ns a legislator,
"If thH Is the funeral of John Barley- i
corn, I will he present, not ns a mourner,
hut a happy pallbearer," said Wallace
"Gentlemen," exclaimed Wallace, "la
bor In Pennsylvania Is not fcr booze.
I come from one of the greatest labor

More than 8000 of these claims, some

Hundreds of complaints have been re

that pay or compensation for expenses
was withheld unjustly. It was explained
today that when a soldier Is discharged.
In some cases he Is given only partial
pay, owing to the absence of records
showing the exact amount to which ho
Is entitled. Later these records become
available, but the additional payment Is
not made until the voucher for part pay
cashed by tho soldier on his discharge
Is cleared through the auditor of the
War Department.
This procedure often required three
or four months, and during this time
tho soldier's final payment Is held up.
