Party Conference Considers Use of Industrial Action to Enforce Aims WANT CONSCRIPTION ENDED By (ho Associated Press JSoutaport, England, June 23. The main Interest of the outside world In the nineteenth annual conference of the Labor party, which opens In Pouthport today, lies in the question before it of uln Industrial action to secure polit ical alma. An Influential section of the leaders of the triple alliance of miners, railway men and transport workers has Ions b,een In favor of exercising the power of the alliance to compel compliance with the demands for the nbolition of Conscription, the withdrawal of troops from Russia, the release of conscientious objectors and other objects sought. These leaders were deeply disap pointed at their recent failure to induce the parliamentary committee of the trade union congress to call a special confer ence of the trade unions to discuss the proposals. The action taken by the executive of the triple alliance last night in decid ing to convene a special conference in London July 23 to consider what ac tion should be taken to compel the gov- I eminent to comply with th three prin cipal demands mentioned, was a step in dependent of today's conference. The far-reaching importance of any decision placing in the hands of the in dustrial unions thp power to enforce political demands by means of strikes, la recognized by the executive commit tee of the labor conference which, in a report to or preseniea louny, expresses thi view that if labor is to institute a l a L- ..J .-. i precedent in British industrial history i It Is imperative that the trade unions1?, which adopted the new policy and whose finances presumably should be imolid In carrying it out, should realize the! responsibility which such a movement i entails, and should themselves deter mine the ground plan of the new cam paign. The executive body itself does not make any declaration for or against the proposal, leaving discussion unfettered. Among other matters awaiting the at tention of the conference is the organi zation of labor in anticipation of the next general election, which, in the opinion of many observers, is not far distant. MAGISTRATE RAPS MAN WHO ACCUSES BOYS Youths Who Borrowed Auto Are .Arrested Held in Nom inal Bail Magistrate Price severely criticized a man today for swearing out a war rant charging the larceny of an auto mobile against two boys, who, it was testified at the hearing, had returned the machine to his garage and paid him money they earned with it after his tan abandoned it. "It is no small matter to make such a serious charge against these young men. and so defame their character," the magistrate said to John Feeney 2&31 West Clearfield street, owner of the automobile. ' James Cleary. sixteen years old. of 8056 North Twenty-third street, and Charles O'Connell. seventeen vears old 2333 "West Clearfield street, testified they had gone to Frankford avenue and Somerset street with the son of the owner of the automobile Monday. He had left them to be gone a few minutes and.xas away three hours before they decided to take the machine home, they aid.' At Fox street and Hunting Park avenue they ran out of gasoline, they testified, and bought two gallons. Then a man offered them $2.50 to take the ladders to a nearby address, they said, and-jifter doing the job they returned the automobile and gave Mrs. Feeney the money taken in, deducting only th amount paid for gasoline. TEe boys were held in 5300 bail each for a, further hearing Sunday. , BAPTIST BICENTENARY Churches of Bucks and Montgomery wouniieo ueieDrate Anniversary Colmar, Pa June 25.

Orlando and Padereivshi Among Other Notables Honored by English University Ceremony Impressive By the Associated Press Oxford, England, June. 25. General Pershing and Herbert C. Hoover rep resented the United States today in a distinguished company of noted men from the Allied countries who were honored by Oxford University with de grees of doctor of civil law. The cere mony was the culminating feature of the annual Encaenia, or commemoration exercises. The event was rich in ceremonial pomp. A handful of American army students who have been studying here were interested j ectators. Among those who witnessed the ceremony was Mrs, Hcover. Earl Cunon, chancellor of the uni versity, presided, and solemnly went through the prescribed formula of pro posing the degrees to the house. After the house had as soremnly granted the degree, the recipients were summoned in turn by the public orator. Notables Receive Degrees Those upon whom the degrees were conferred included General Pershing, Mr. Hoover, Baron Makino, head of the Japanese peace, conference delegation; Marshal Joffre, of France; Vice Ad miral Sir David Beatty, Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, Major General Sir Henry Hughes Wilson, chief of the British Imperial staff, and vice Admiral Sir Rossalyn Wemyss, first sea lord. Former Premier Orlando, of Italy, and Premier Ignace Jan Paderewski, of Poland, received degrees by proxy. Each of these men, as they were pre sented with their degrees, bowed their thanks and took their seats. No speeches were made -by those to whom the degrees were given, and the cere mony was concluded quickly. General Pershing and most of the other notable persona present came down, from London by automobile this morning..

Lieutenant Joseph Letrange, head of the "automobile quad." directed the raid. He was assisted by Detectives Reckman. Frend and Jeffries.

The garage has been raided on several oc casions and stolen automobiles re covered, the police sav. The name of the man operating the place now is withheld in order to give the authorities n better opportunity to catch members of the gang The fact that one of the nutnmobiles recovered was stolen from Springfield. Mass., in dicates the widespread activity of the band. The other machines recovered were the property of Philadelphians. One was owned by Samuel Taplinger. a real estnte broker in the Widener Ruilding. It was stolen from fifteenth and al- t streets June 1R. Another was the t propertv of Charles Bond & Co., ."14 Arch street, and was stolen from fifth and Arch streets Tune lf. Lansdowne Car Recoered' Others recovered included the auto mobiles of Olive I,.

The raid on two garages is another step in the plant of the Detective Bu roans of Philadelphia. Baltimore and Washington to break up the gang. More important arrests are expected in a few days. The police are searching big hospitals in the east for the lender of the band, who is said to be undergoing treatment. All the recovered automobiles were taken to City Hall courtyard.

McNally, elected supreme dictator of the Lojal brother of the bride, officiated as Older of Moose yesterday at the thirty- I ushers. first annual convention in session at Mooseheart, near Aurora. Sheldonion Theatre, where the cere mony was held. The public, most of whom were un able to gain admission to the building, were packed along both sides of the line of march, keen for a sight of the celebri ties. The crowd cheered those whom they recognized Both General Pershing and Mr. Hoover were greeted henrtilv when the group filed into the theatre. Every seat in the building was occupied. The great audience arose as the distin guished visitors entered and proceeded to their places on the rostrum. The organ played "God Save the King." Setting Emphasizes Impressheuess The impressiveness of the occasion was emphasized by the stately beauty of its setting. The deep crimson of the carpets and hangings contrasted vividly with the black robes of the students and the dark oak wall panelings. After the degrees were conferred the recipients settled back in their scats to hear a young Oriel College student, win ner of the Newdegate prize for English verse, recite a composition eulogizing France. The chancellor then dissolved the convocation and the 'procession moved out of the building to the music of a stirring march. American students at Oxford aban doned their plan fop an informal re ception in General Pershing's honor be cause of the uncertainty of his ability to leave army headquarters and come to Oxford for the ceremony. Most of the American students left here yes terday for Liverpool and Brest on their way to their homes in the United States. Only thirty of them remained here to participate in a big victory pageant to be given by the university beginning tomorrow. After' leaving the theatre the party proceeded to A1J Souls College to at tend a luncheon given by officials of the university.

Lea was also detained by pruatc engagements. George W. Coles and Senator George Woodward are in Harrisburgh, and joined the Philadelphia delegation on its arrival. Mr. Winston said that he had re ceived a telegram only last night from the Governor's secretary, notifying the committee that the signing of the charter revision bill had been set for this afternoon. The short notice, he said, made it impossible to communi cate with all members of the committee and other supporters ot the bill, some of whom were out of town, nnd the delegation merelv represented such members as could be reached by a "hurry call."

Xhc U-lli has been In American waters before. She came ud from Xor- folk, starting Monday night, nnd did It neatly, because she s good for twenty two knots nnd is very seaworthy. She may have been along that route before. as stated, because she is suspected of being one of the mine-spawning sea 'monsters that strewed the Atlantic j coast with cans of T-N-T from Mnrble j head south to Norfolk. She is blamed i for the sinking of he cruiser San ' Diego off Fire Island. If a ship has a soul, ns some sailors think, perhaps a U-boat has the warped beginnings of ' one, nnd she will have n fine time there in the back-channel letting time take its toll of her, while the Amer ican navy and merchant marine sail the seven seas forever. Constructed in 1018 The U-117 is one of the exhibits which will be on view when the navy yard is thrown open on Saturday to the public. Not many people will get to go inside her, but if they do practi cal souls will think it's a shame so much pains was put into the intricate machinery of a craft which was bound to be turned over to the Allies so soon. She was built early in 1018, never did ianvthing but minelaying, so far as is 'known, nnd carried torpedoes only for ; exceptional chances to score, which it is not known that she ever did. 1 The U-117 was among the first to be surrendered to the British at Har wich after the armistice was signed. Two hundred and seventy -five feet over all, with twenty-three feet beam, she was a very fair specimen of her I sort. Her intricate machinery, a maze of wheels and pipes nnd levers and dials, was and is all labeled painstnk inglj in the language of the once hope ful fatherland. But this "Klnnne-zu, achtung. fetig. fuellen, lslnppauf, be wnssern" stuff was too much for Great Britain. After staying about two months at Harwich, during which time the Brit ish navy was still trying solemnlv to solve her mvsteries, the American navy took her over, traced out her various wires, bars, pipes and gears, and inside of a week was ready to take her ou" under her own power.

GIRL DROWNED IN RIVER DISOBEYED TEACHER Valley Forge Picnickers Took Canoe Ride After Being Warned Against It Drowning of Hester Burbage, six teen years old, 1320 North Fifty -fifth street, in the Schuylkill, near Valley Forge, when she accidentally upset a canoe, was the result of disobedience of an order of her school teachers. Edward Funkhouser, fifteen jears old. 1.135 North Alden street, and Joseph Berger, fifteen, of BROS Master street, who were with her in the canop, nearly lost their lives in their attempt to save her.
