'Nevertheless in the end the amend

be adopted.
The chartpr revisionists are helpless
without the aid of Sr-utor Penrose. No
matter how deeply interested he .may
be in the Philadelphia reform bilrt he
is far too clever a master of politics to
prccipitate'furtuer internecine war in
his party" in the state. And that would
be the result if the demands of the ex
tremists among the chartcrists were car
ried to a conclusion.
Friction Is Weplored
It is intolerable to tnink of the senior
.senator and the Governor, with the
background of the letter's magnificent
majority, at loggerheads over the ques
tion of the expiration of a garbage con
tract, whether this or that city official
shall be ejected or appointed, or the
matter of Mlf a dozen members of
Council more or less.
It would be as fatuous as is the spec
tacle of John C. Winston, Powell Evans

rush to sweep the Governor and At

Just why this spectacular action,
when one-twentieth the number. of rep
resentative gentlemen would have been
as, effective, is a problem,' unless the
number of silent receptive candidates
for' the mayorallty. under the new char
ter, above these already Identified and
tagged, has increased prodigiously with
in the past few weeks. The Governor
isn't here; pro-charter delegations are
, anathema to the Vare leaders, and as
for the House, delegations of reprcsenta

MAN AND WIFE DIE
IN DUAL TRAGEDY
Children Find Bodies of Parents.
Murder and Suicide, Is
Belief of Police
SEPARATED AND REUNITED
George L. Eby and his wife, Lottie,
were found dead from bullet wounds
this morning in their bedroom nt 5121)
Irving street. Their bodies were dis
covered by their sons, John, aged ten
3'ears, and Francis, aged nine, who had
been sleeping in an adjoining room.
The police believe thnt Eby shot his
jwifc twice in the head as she slept nd
then killed himself. A 3S-caliber re
volver wag found near the husband's
body, which lay on the floor. Mrs. Eby
was lying in bed.
The couple separated in 101G and
were reunited shortly before last Christ
mas. Eby, who served in un American
army railway unit, lately was employed
as an inspector at the Baldwin plant at
Edd stone.
Roy Tells of Finding Bodies
The bodies were taken to the Morgue
and. the children were brought .to the
Fifty-fifth nnd Pine streets station,
while the police notified their rela
tives. John, the older brother, an excep
tionally bright child, today told how he
and his brother "Buddy" found their
parents a few minutes after 10 o'clock
this morning.
"We went to bed at 0 o'clock last
night," John began. He was trying to
keep back the tears as he .told of inci
dents before the tragedy.
"Daddy came into our room and
kissed us both good night, ille hadn't
done that for a long time. Then he
went into the next bedroom, where he
and mother slept. We heard daddy
and mother talking about money. They
seemed to be having a little quarrel, but
it wasn't a ,very bad one.
Mother Seemed Asleep
" 'Buddy and I were playing in the
bed. and laughing. Daddy called In to
us to make less noise. Then I guess
we both dropped off to sleep because we
didn't hear any more.
"This morning Buddy got up first
and peeped into daddy's .room. It wa?
dark. He called "me, and. I turned on
the light. We saw a lot of blood.
Mother was lying on the bed. Her
head was on one arm. She seemed to
be asleep. I went up closer and saw a
fbig hole In her head. Then I saw doVdy
on the floor. There was a .lot of (Wood
around him. We both got scared and
ran to the woman upstairs'."
While his brother, Francis, kept close
to him in Lieutenant Jcffrics's room, nt
the Fifty-fifth and Pine streets station,
John told how the family formerly lived
in North Wales and then moved to

Governor Attacks Anti-Americanism
and Urges Students to
Become Active in Politics
EXECUTIVE GETS DECREE
Excerpts From Governdr's
Sivarthmorc Address
"We cannot nnd musf not tol-'
erate attacks by violence nnd de
struction upon our institutions.
Those who have grievances
ngaiust our democracy have their
remedies at hand if they choose to
exercise their rights of citizenship. -
"Tunc a Hand in jour politics,
in your community, in the state and
the nation.
"It is for US all. now. in Kfnnil
firmly for our tried nnd trusty ip-1
Miiuuons nero in America not to
be carried into the currents of the
impracticable.
"The law of gravitation hasn't been
repealed, the plan of salvation is
still intact, and the golden rule is
still the finest principle of l(fc."
Those who try to purify politics and
do not take the trouble to vote were
criticized by Governor Sproul today in
an address at the commencement exer
cises at Swarthmore College.
The Governor in this connection said:
"Well-meaning people who like to be
called independents or reformers, but
whose ideas of the fuudamcutnl duties
of citizenship are not sufficiently prac
tical to impel them legularly to take
thp trouble to vote at the elections, will
spend weeks of effort and will send you
reams of suggestions regarding the puri
fication of public affairs."
The necessity of abiding by the laws
of the country and following the spirit
of democracy was also pointed -out by
the Governor. Discussing this phase,
he said :
"We cannot and must not tolerate,
however, attacks by violence and de
struction upon our institutions. Those
who have grievance against our democ
racy have their remedy at hand if they
choose to exercise their rights of citizen
ship. If they do not care to join us in
citizenship they should seek a congenial
political and social atmosphere else
where." Attorney General Present
Attorney General Palmer and Gov
ernor Sproul arrived shortly after 11
oMock, and were given a cordial greet
ing. They led a procession, of students
from the corridor of the administration
building to collection, hall, on the 'sec
ond floor.
It was decided to hold the exercises
here Instead of at the woodland amphi
theatre on account of the threatening
weather.
A $1,000,000 jubilee fund was started
to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the
college in 1022. ' The first contributor
to the fund was J. S. Worth, of Coates
ville, who gave $100,000.
The presence of four state policemen
at Swarthmore today "during the com
mencement exercises at th? college was
brought to the notice of Governor
Sproul.
''Their presence is not In conse
quence of my'belng here or in connec
Jjon with any fear for my personal
safety," he said. "I wanted to take
every precaution to insure the iBafety
of the Attorney' General of the United
States, my friend. A. Mitchell Palmer,
who is here today, particularly after
the attack made upon bis bouse in
Washington."
Advice Seldom Welcome
In part, Governor Sproul .said :
,4I shall no( Sive much advice, I get
too much of it myself, and yetl have none
to spare, Not much of it -sticks by me.
Advice Is seldom welcome, and those
who need it most take It least.' 1

whether it
City, June 0. Tyranny,
be In the political or in
dustrial life of the nation, will not be
tolerated by organized labor, Snmuel
Gompcrs, president of the Americnn
I ederation of Labor, told delegate at
the, opening of the thirty-ninth session
of the organization here today.
"When' the war began," said Mr.
Gompcrs, "we realized that if mili
tarism and autocracy should be vic
torious, never again would there be op
portunity for freedom of any sort; never
again would there bo any chance for
labor to develop nnd protect itself and
the rights of people who work. So
we threw our lot upon the side of those
who stood for the largest measure of
freedom. '
"Now the war has been won and the
day of reconstruction nnd readjustment
is at hand. A new concept of right has
been reached and the world has gone
through a great change.
Employers Accept New Order
"Employers too have come to see the
light of the new concept of right, and
tthcy are accepting the new order of
things; that is, most of them are. There
are others, who, like the Bourbons of
old, never forget anything because they
never learned anything.
"Men and women hne given their
blood for principles and ideals, not only
for th.e period pf the war, but for the
period of all time, in making sacrifices.
It was not their intention that the
principles for which they contended
should be lost sight of when the war
was won. They sacrificed themselves
by giving their blood, and now th,ey arc
detetmjncd that tyranny, whether" it be
in political or industrial life, shall be
no more. The day for that has passed.
. "Let me tell you this: If any em
ployer believes that industrial autocracy
is going to prevail in America he is
counting without bis host.
"The principles for which labor has
fought since, the beginning must come
to full fruition. We arc making no un
just demands.
Workers' Service Indispensable
"Workers give to society a service
without which civilization itself would
fall. We intend to make this country
worthy of the civilization of our times
and to future historians the story of
the labor movement In the United States
will prove the greatest source of in
formation and inspiration as to num
bers, power nnd influence."
A message of greeting from Presi
dent Wilson was read during the open
ing session. In it the President paid
high tribute to Mr. Gompers and the
work.he had accomplished for (he coun
try in general and the workers in par
ticular. The executive committee of the fed
eratioptoday unqualifiedly indorsed the
pence treaty and the league of nations
covenant.
World Safe If Pact Is Observed
'"The world has in truth been made
safe for democracy," the report ob
serves, with he reservation that such
will be the case if the peace is built
upon the basic principles firmly Im
bedded in the treaty.
Other observations made in the re
port are that :
Legislation should be passed making
it a criminal offense for employers to
nttempt to Interfere with the organiza
tion of workers into trade unions.
Just wages will prevent .industrial
stagnation and periodical unemploy
ment. An eight-hour day with otertime
prohibited, except in emergencies, should
be granted all workers.
Against Chlid Labor
Exploitation of 'child labor for pri-1
rate gain must not be permitted.
'Public employes should have the right
to organize and must not b'e limited jn
the exercise of their rights as citizens.
Better results can be obtained by
labor by nonpartisan -support of candi
dates known to be friendly to labor.
(The report flatly opposes a "labor
Prty.")
Restrictions on freedom of speech,
press, public assembly, association and
travel snouid be removed.
Immigration should be barred for at
least two years and aliens already here
should be Americanized. .

I'arls. May 2o. (By Mail.) This
most benevolent of Pence Conferences
has had its moment of cynicism. Per
haps it has had two moments of cyni
clsm. One when it decided that a man
date in perpetuity, for the government'
of an undeveloped people and which
could only be taken away from the
holder of the mandate with his con
sent by his vote, was somehow com
pared to outright ownership, the su
preme form of belf denial, and the last
word In respect for the rights of others.
The second enmc when the question of
Kiao-Chau wns reached. ,
uhc Pence Conference was'tired. It
was in a hurry. The Germany were
already at Versailles. President Wil
son, who in the main is responsible
for its virtue, had to have his league
of nations, and his league of nations
was threatened if Japan was not ap
pensed. So, as some one said :
"Tliey threw China to Japan just
as they have thrown Russia to Ger
many."
The transaction hnd its humorous
side. AVhen it was done the Chinese
issued n statement saying how un
happy they were. When he heard of
the statement nn American in touch
with the transaction said:
"Why didn t they wait to see the
agreement with Japan before criticiz
ing?" And the Chinese admitted that they
had not been shown the agreement.
Thus the future, to a large extent,
of 400,000,000 people was settled
without even showing the document
settling it to their representatives.
And this in a conference one of whose
first principles was the self-determination
of peoples !
"They Say" Many Thing's
People here say that the Chinese
Japanese settlement will be a big
political Issue in the United States,
whera sympathy with China and op
position to Japan has become a sort
of popular tradition.
They say that some day it means
the emergence of a great yellow power
or combination in the East which will
threaten the domination of the world
that is being set up by the eastern
victors in the great war,
Thej say it means that Japan will
now, being able to touch the economic
resources of China, become one of
three great powers of the world, out
ranked only by the United States and
the British, and that some day it will
enter a combination with Germany
and Russia against the other, mem
bers of the big three or big foSr in tho
league of nations.
They say that China will ultimately
swallow Japan and be the big power
of the East.
They say hat Japan will promote
the dismemberment of China in order to
prevent just this consequence.
They say that the league of nations
will guarantee Japanese fair dealing
toward China.
And, of course, they say that it
won't.
They say a variety of things, mostly
contradictory.
The only ngreement is that a bigde
cislon was rcachef in the Far Kast.'oue
whose meaning will not be clear for n
generation perhaps. Amoni Americans
it occasioned surprise, perhaps Indig
nation. Though coming at the end of a
Peace Conference, It nrrived fortunately
for Mr. Wilson at a time when 'the
capacity for emotions was exhausted.
, It was a cynical thing. It 'was a
magnificent gesture 'of indifference.
After refusing Jtha request of one yellow

By the Associated Press
Washington, June 9. The President's message, trans
mitted through the White House and read by Senator Hitch
cock jvhen the foreign relations comtniltee met today tofplan
its investigation, follows:
"Please convey following to Senator Hitchcock:
"I am heartily glad that you have demanded aninves
tigation with regard to the possession of texts of the treaty
by unauthorized persons. I have felt that it was highly
undesirable officially to communicate the text of a-document
which, is still in negotiation and subject to change. Any one
who has possession of the official English text has' what he
is clearly not entitled to have or to communicate. I have
felt in honor bound to act in the same spirit and in the, same
way as the representatives of the other great powers in this
matter, and am confident that my fellow-countrymen, will
not expect me to break faith with them. I hope thatunves
tigation will be thoroughly prosecuted."

New York, June 0. That the official
summary of the pence treaty wns n

ditions to be imposed upon Germany
is revcaied by publication here of what
purports to be important parts of the
official text.
In regard to the Sarre valley, the
summary failed to go into detail rela

definitely settled.
Another section which wns not given
an impressive presentation in the sum
mar, due to lack of detail, wns that

establishment of an international lnbor
otganization.
The text of the conditions relative
to labor, as made public here, is ap
pended :
PART 13; LABOR
Section One Organization of Lnbor.
Whereas, the league of nations has
for its object the establishment of uni
versnl peace, and such a peace can be
established only if it is based upon so
cial justice, and whereas, conditions
of labor exist invohiug such injustice,
hardship and privation to large num
bers of people as to produce unrest so
great that the peace and harmony of
the world are imperiled, and an im
provement of those conditions is ur
gently required : ns for example, by the
regulation of the hours of work, in
cluding the establishment of a maximum
working day and week, the regulation
of the labor supply, the prevention of
unemployment, the provision of au ade
quate living wage, the protection of the
worker as against sickness, disease anu
injury arising out of his employment.
the protection of children, joung per
sons nnd women, provision for old age
and injury, protection of the interests
of workers when employed in countries
other than their own, recognition of the
nrlnelnle of freedom of association, the
Organization of vocational and technical
education and other measures :
Whereas, also, the failure of any na
tion to adopt humane conditions of
labor is an obstacle in the way of other
nations .which desire to improve the
conditions in their own countries, the
high contracting parties, moved by sen
timents of justice and humanity as well
as by the desire to secure the perma

Paris, June 0. The Big Pour have
pulled themselves together, plugged
the holes and probably have checked the
flood of concessions, at least for the
time being.
Some concessions seem likely in the
reported agreement reached on Silesia,
which proviifrs n plebiscite in certain
regions and assurances of Silcsian coal
for Germany in any event.
The total sum of reparation is not
likely to be fixed, but assurance may
be given German that not more than
a certain amount jcarlv will he p..
acted, the total of these yearly pay
ments being not more than forty bil
lion dollars. At the same time the
authority to exact reparation of other
commissions over German economic life
is likely to be definitely limited.
The French are fighting bitterly any
reductions in terms of reparation of
the Rhineland, and if the exact sum
of'repuration is not fixed, the term of
occupation is not likely to be reduced.
. Expert commissions of the various
nations are working together on a reply
to the Germans. The Big Four will
pass on it inside of a week.
On the question whether the Ger
mans will sign opinions differ.
Really the issue is one of the rela
tive weaknesses of the Germans and the
Allies.
The weakness of the Allies is per
fectly apparent here, the chief element
being the state of public opinion in Eng

PROHIBITION TO STAY
Artl. Saloon Society Superintendent
Makes Prediction at Meeting
The prohibition amendment to the
constitution will stay forever, accord
ing to the prediction made today by
Dr. Jloiner W. Tope, superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League in the Phila
delphia district.
Doctor Tope spoke today at the regu
lar Monday conference of the Reformed
Church ministers at Fifteenth and Race
streets. He explained that it will be
necessary in the future for the prohi
bitionists to keep thirteen states "dry."
If that is done the prohibition amend
ment cannot be amended or withdrawn.
The Anti-Saloon League leader also
stated that he did not believe thnt the
wartime prohibition bill, scheduled to
go Into effect July 1, will bo with
drawn. ''Congress' will not act on this,"
he said, "and I do not believe that

Coincidental with the opening of the
Investigation President Wilson cabled

The President said he had felt It
"uns highly undesirable officially to
communicnte the text of n document
which is still in negotiation and sub
ject to change," and that any one who
had possession of the official English
text "has wlint he is clearly not entitled
to have to communicate."
This stutenient by the President
strengthened the belief by officials here
that he would not comply with the re
quest of the Senate that the treaty
text be furnished it at this time. ,
Senator Lodge, who made the first'
charges thnt tlie treaty was in the
hnnds of New Yorkers, was the star
witness at the opening session. He de
cllned on the ground of his senatorial
immunity to give the names of persons
who had the treaty, but snid he would
ask permission to disclose their names
Senator Borah, who also made
charges similar to Senator Lodge's,
said he had not seen copies of the
treaty, but had been informed thers
were copies in New York. He had
no personal knowledge of it, he said
Acting Secretary Polk, of the State
Department, testified that he has re
ccived copies from the American peace
mission in Paris, had them locked In
the State Department vault, and be
lieved none of tliose copies were the
ones referred to as being in Nw York.
All of the financiers subpoenoed bv
the committee except Mr. Vnnderltp
were colled at the suggestion of Sena--tor
Borah. Rennhllcnn ii. .i
told the committee he was convinced1' "
thut each of them was familiar with
what the treaty contained. He said he
"' noi ne sure that any one of them
actually had a innv. hiir l
, ,v -- ..-.x.t utvausc
ne never nnu seen a copy In their hands.
The Idaho Senator said he was con
vinced the internallnnnl hnnt. r vr
York were interested "for private rea- C
sons in tne adoption of the league of
nations covenant. He added that In
liis belief the calling of the men named
would show how ami why they wers
interested.
