Moved Cause of U. S. Curb
ing Improvements
SYSTEMS HERE HARD HIT
Large railroad construction projects
of ererj kind on the three (treat rail
sytn feeding Into Philadelphia are at
a standstill, It became known today.
Lack of funds and the scarcity of
labor, it was said, made it necessary
for the federal railroad administration
to order the work stopped.
Xot only is the Philadelphia district
affected, but erery railroad system in
'the country that is under federal con
trol likewise has come under the con
struction ban wherever the projected
work could possibly be deferred
Meanwhile, in those regions where
freight congestion lias been acute since
the beginning of the war, freight con
tinues to pile up because the railroads
cannot expand their yards and build
new trackage and warehouses to take
care of the resumption of peace time
traffic. This traffic, in the opinion of
experts, is likely to increase steadily
for some time to come as delayed con
struction work in all parts of the
country, outside transportation circles,
is carried on to completion and the gen
eral prosperity wave swells.
Millions Tied Up
Many millions of dollars are tied up
In contracts the execution of which has
been deferred. AVhile the regional di
rector of the Allegheny district refused
to make public a list of specific pro
jects of the kind held up in the dis
trict, it is knwn that the Overbrook
freight yards" of the Pennlylvania
Railroad is one of the largest.
Construction of this yard, which was
intended to help relieve, the freight
congestion at Philadelphia, was
scarcely begun when the raihoad ad
ministration's Older stopped the work
four months ago The project is to
cosf approximately 51,000,000.
Railroad officials here were reluctant
today to discuss the situation frankly,
indicating that they feared the dis
pleasure of the raihoad administra
tion, to whom they referred all in
qulrics. At the office of the regional
director it was said by C. A Blauvelt.
5 assistant director, it was not n matter
j in which the public is interested.
Nothing New, He Sajs
"There is nothing new in this it-
uation," he declared. "The govern
. ment decided some time ago that rail-
road construction projects involving
J large sums of money and requiring a
large force of labor should be
j deferred."
Mr. Blauvelt was unable to say when
t the ban would be lifted. He illustrated
J the financial inability of the railroads to
. carry on the abated projects by taking

Judge Barratt Lays Most of
Marital Wars to Money and De
sire to Wed Somoone Elso
CHICAGO JURISTS DIFFER'
A difference of Judicial opinion exists
between this city and Chicago as to the
effect which prohibition will exert over
divorce proceedings when the country
has become bone dry on July 1.
According to word received from the
latter city. Judge Thompson, of the
Appellate Court, charges seventy per j
cent of his cases to liquor, while Judge
Brothers, of the Circuit Court, t-ays I
that sixty per cent of his cases, at least,
may be attributed to drink, and adds
that he believes that the amount of I
dUorce suits "will diminish sixty or'
secntj per cent when liquor is pro
hibited." ' "Desertion and cruelty," continued
Judge Brothers, "are often the out
growth of drink. The real causes of
mo-.t of the misery arc the things that
make up the underlying reasons for
divorce, and not the divorce itself."
These two judges have each handled
more than 2300 dnorce cases.
Judge Barratt, of the Court of Com
mon Pleas No. 2, of this city, disagreed
with the Chicago men. Ho said today:
"From my personal observations in
the many dhorcc cases which have
come before me I should say that the
estimates made by Judge Brothers nre
about TiO per cent too high. It is with
hesitation that I would put the divorce
suits which are entered here, because
of drink, as high as 40 per cent.
"The great bulk of divorce case rea
sons may b" divided into two divisions:
In the first case one of the two parties
has a lot of money or property and
the other has not, this leading to dis
trust and eventually a desire for sepa
ration ; in the second division are the
suits which arc originated when one of
the two parties wished to mnrry some
one else.
"When the cases come into court
there arc many reasons assigned foi the
desire to separate." continued Judge
Bnrratt, "and as a rule these reasons
are usually onlj superficial The real
cause is seldom revealed. Prink is the
most convenient excuse and therefore it
is the one most often used
"As a rule drink comes after nnd
not before love has gone It prove a
convenient horse upon which to saddle
many marital troubles."
Recognize Ireland,
Labor Men Demand
Contlnnnl From Tare On
A lively debate followed the proposal
of this amendment to the orlginnl reso
lution. Peter J. Brad, of New York,
f-aid:
"It Is a disappointment to the mem
bers of the convention that the reso

courage of its convictions and demand
recognition of Ireland as a republic.
We should go on record as asking for
self-determination for Ireland.
"The people of Ireland hnve de

Factions to Clash
on Transit Measure

appear in Harnsburg tomorrow in the
interests of the measure. Their pres
ence will be nn inspiration for Repre
sentative John R K Scott to unfold
sundrey nnd divers political secrets con
cerning Senator Penrose nnd all of his
friends nnd followers in the House nnd
Senate.
As Representative Scott is noted for
his forensic nbllitv when attacking a
political opponent, n halcyon nnd vocif
erous time maj be etpected in the
House about the hour of high noon to
morrow. Incidentally, about the same
time the cars of Senator Penrose should
burn like n house ahre.
Director Twining's letter to Governor
Sproul, in part, follows:
"Owing to the changed finnucial con
ditions resulting from the war, a refer
endum will be necessar.v in order that
the people maj decide upon a feasible
plan of expending the money now
available for rapid transit improve
ment. Bill Provides Transfers
The Snliw bill piovides that money
heretofore appropriated for that and
other purposes which have afteiward
become impiacticable, impossible or un
necessary by leason of such changed
londitions can by referendum be used
for purposes practicable under condi
tions then existing, with the distinct
provision, however, thnt no money here
tofore appropriated for tiansit shall be
used for any other purposes. As over
$."0,000,000 of the amount forming the
subject matter of the bill refers to tran
sit, the bill I" virtualh a transit
measure.
"It ran in no sense be termed a po
litical bill, for it cannot Inure to the
benefit of the present administration,
as the" refciendum cannot be held be
foie tjve November election at the ear
liest, and therefore no money could be
used until after the time and then only
in accordance with the result of the
referendum decided by the citizens of
Philadelphia "
"If this bill is not pasbed the citizens
of Philadelphia will bo deprived of any
possibilitj of any large measure of tran
sit improvement until after the session
of the next Legislature, a period of over
two veins. This will be an injustice
which ou surelv cannot permit under
your administration, particularly since
'the right desited by the citizens of
Philadelphia lias been granted by the
present Legislature to Harrisburg and
other municipalities of the state of
Pennsylvania as follows:
Borrowing Capacity Reduced
' To allow appropriated moneys not
feasible for the purposes for which the.v
were appropriated by reason of changed
economic or financial conditions to be
used for other purposes now practicable.
Besides the above injustice the borrow -ing
capacity of the city will be reduced
bj the amount appropriated and now
used, and the city thus further pieju
diced in its requirements for necessary
improvements.
"On the evening of a period of leform
and improvement such as is lontem
plated by the revised charter of the city,
it would be a poor commentary indeed to
allow any faction to hamstring the
city in its necessary improvements by
the failure of this bill.
"Such a failure would tend to dis
credit and undermine confidence in the
honesty of the entire charter revision,
because formal changes nre valueless ir
abuses now prevalent in the political
sjstem are to be confirmed. It would be
a poor commentary indeed to change the
form of administration and let it start
out with an inability to carry out the
improvements which the people demand.
"I trust you will give this important
matter your immediate consideration
nnd deal with it in a manner, which to
jour best judgment seems meet."
WINING APPEALS
FOR SALUS BILL
RU a Staff Correapondent
Harrisburg, June 17. Director
Twining, of the Department of City
Transit in Philadelphia, has appealed
to Governor Sproul, Senator Penrose
and state leaders to enact the Salus bill,
which would permit the city to divert
to other transit purpoijos on a referen
dum of the voters money appropriated,
for specific transit purposes.
John Egan, secretary of the direc
tor, came here today with n letter to
the Governor, and Interviewed Senator
Penrose, Senator Crow and Senator
Vare.
Because of the increased prices of
materials, Director Twining has found
that on the loan moneys voted In 1916
for transit purposes, It would be im
possible to complete the Taylor plan of
high speed transit routes.
The director wants to divert some of
the money so as to complete the Frank -ford
L and other routes most needed.
Director Twining himself 'was here
last week and saw Senator Penrose and
other state leaders in person and asked
them to aid the passage of the meas
ure. As no action was forthcoming he
then appealed to the Governor. Sena
tors Vare and Crow both favor the
bill. Unless the measure Is passed
the'dtrecjor declares thers will be no
great transit improvement until ifter

departure to capital to hasten the ratification of the national suffrage amend
failure to put it through the Legisla
ture would "discredit and undermine
confidence in the honesty of the entire
charter," which, he continues, would
be "valueless if abuses now prevalent
in the political sjstem arc to be con
tinued." The director virtually charges
the Tenrosc faction with attempting to
"hnm string" the city.
Senntor Varc has expressed himself
as being in favor of the immediate
passage of this bill. Senator Crow, who
was also seen, expressed the same senti
ments. LEIB EXONERATED

Schuylkill countv grand jury this after

former resident clerk of the Legislature,
with uttering and publishing forged
state tax receipts for the Schuylkill
Valley Electric Railway. There were
eighteen members of the grand jury on
duty today, nnd it is said the vote in

of the case were placed on Powell

It is isaid the evidence failed to con
nect Leib with the alleged forgeries
which caused a sensation in the state.
Alleged forgeries also arc charged

President Carranza's chief of staff.
The tone of official dispatches seemed
to indicate that Mexican officials on the
border ncccpted the American claim that
the attack on the Villa forces by Amer
ican forces was for the purpose of pro
tecting American lives across the fron
tier. With General Felipe Angeles In the
Fields Mex., June 17. (By A. P.)
Somewhere to the southwest of Zara
gosa, sixteen miles from Juarez is Gen
eral Felipe Angeles, moving with his
small personal bodyguard to the south
and west, after expressing bitter dis
appointment as the result of the cross
ing of American soldiers into Mexican
territory Sunday night,
When General Angeles received the
news by a courier that the Americans
were over a shadow crossed his face
and his disappointment was great. He
had hoped, he said, that the United
States would still adhere to its attitude
of noninterference and he again re
ferred to the Nogales, Sonora troop
movements through American territory.
General Angeles expressed regret
shots had fallen in El Paso.
The attitude of General Villa toward
the United State3 before the attack
was one of sincere friendship, his aides
states. It was still one of "friendship
before the second attack Sunday,
they said. But that it will un
dergo a change now since the Americans
went after him a second time was freely
expressed by bis staff.
El Paso, Texas. June 7. After three
days of intense excitement and fighting
in and near Juarez, the border resumed
its routine today with no indication of
an immediate resumption of hostilities.
All American troops were back on the
American side last night. Villa and his
column nre somewhere south of Sama
Inyuca, Chihuahua, and General Fran
cisco Gonzales is again in full control
or the Juarez district.
