"We Are Not Ready for You,"
Says Colonel Pusey Depos

More nrests, posibly two, and tlie
arraignment today of Ralph T. Moyer,
cashier of the wrecked North Fcmi
Bonk, arc outstanding features on this,
the twelfth day of the Investigation con
ducted by state and county authorities.
The bank, nt Twenty-ninth and Dau
phin streets, with an estimated shortage
of $000,000, waiylnscd July IS by State
Hanking Commissioner Fisher. Moyer
last Tuesday was held in .$2;j,000 ball
for n further hearing today.
A preliminary statement of the bank's
tangled affairs has been given to Assist
ant District Attorney Taulane by Philip
N. Goldsmith, expert accountant, rep
resenting the district attorney's of
fice. 'Facts In this statement will be used
this afternoon In Central Station un
less Mr. Taulane nermitsMoyer's coun
sel to waive n hearing.
Colonel Pusey indicated today that
"something might drop" at any time
In the bank inquiry.
"Is there a possibility of other
charges involving men other than
Moyer?" Colonel Pusey was asked.
"I do not ljnovv. That Is up to the
district atiorncy," he replied. "J. am

District Attorney Taulane's reply to
the same question.
No Information Given "
Depositors who daily congregate at
the bank building met with their usual
success, today. They got no information.
The bank was closed to all save those
helping the commissioners wind up its
affairs.
Not even the owners of safe deposit
vaults were permitted to enter the
building, possessors of receipts for paid
up Liberty bonds were given to under
stand that the bonds "may be available
at the end of the week."
One Interesting thing occurred. It
happened when L Zion, of Twenty-second
Street near Cumbria, appeared to
pay $400 he owed the bank. The note
was called in for payment today. He
bad a cash balance of $,118 in the in
stitution and tried to pay the note with
check for $318, drawn on the North
Penn Bank, thus wiping out his ac
count, and $82 ia cash. The offer was
turned down.
Mr. Goldsmith, the nccountnnt, was
one of the first men to appear nt the
bank today. He refused to issue a
statement. One of tho bank examiners
jmld that the affairs were still so mud-
dlcd that there was no hope of a stnto-
menf setting forth the exact condition
of the bank for several tlnys.
Mr. Montgomery was asked today
wnen the "pleasant surprise" predicted!
iasc wees oy v . Hoy Moyer, brother of
the cashier, was likely to take place.
,At that time he said it would come
within a "few days." Mr. Montgom
ery said it wag. "still on its way' and
would probably nppeornt the trial.
"I am prepared to present a prima
fade case against Moyer today," said
Mr. Taulane. He withheld comment on
the nature of tho evidence gathered
by- Goldsmith.

Manufacturers Say They Were
Misled in Signing Petition
Against High Tariff
RESOLUTION ALTERS STAND
Philadelphia textile and dyrstuff
manufacturers are up In arms.. They
feel they have been hoodwinked.
A petition is in the hands of the
ways and means committee of tho House
of Representatives approving the pro
posal now before Cfongress for a com
mission 'to license imported dyestuffs,
and to prohibit unlicensed Imported
dyestuffs from entering the country for
five years.
This petition was signed by various
manufacturers here, who declare, their
signatures were obtained under false
pretenses.
And to combat the "mischief," which
it declares has already been done by
the petition, the Nntionnl Association
of Hosiery and Underwear Manufac
turers, Which has its headquarters here,
has adopted a resolution opposing the
commission and declaring a high pro
tectivc tariff to be the "only safe mcth
od" of protecting the American dye in
dustry.
The story of the use pf signatures on
n petition thnt wasn't npproved by the
signatories begins witrT a meetiug in the
Manufacturers' Club about five months
ago. Joseph II. Clioate, Jr., counsel for
the Chemical Foundation Dyes Insti
tute, formerly counsel to the alien prop
erty custodian, invited a group of textile
and dye manufacturers of this city to
hear him explain the purpose of the
Chemical Foundation, an organization
which bought up all tho German patents
for the- manufacture of coal tar dyes
confiscated by tho alien property custo
dian at the beginning of the war. The
foundation plans to license out these
patents for use by American dye manu
facturers.

Records of Prison Farm
Paris Strangely Disappeared,
Smith Testifies
By tho Associated Press
N'cw Yorltr July 20: Hesponsibillty
for cruel treatment of American soldiers
at n prison furm near Paris ns placed
squarely upon the shoulders of Major
General F. S. Stioni; nnd Colonel D. P.
Grlmstend hv Lieutenant Frank II.
("Hnrd-bollfd") Smith, who testified
today befoie a yibcoinmittee of the
House of Representatives at Governor's
Islnnd.
Asked by Rnjall C. Johnson, of South
Dakota. linii ninn of the subcommittee,
if his superior olBcers were ncqunintcd
with conditions in the prison and If he
considered them responsible for them,
Smith replied :
"Absolutely. Those higher in nu
thoiity knew eerj thing that took place
in the prison."
"Whnt were jour orders when you
were placed in command?" he aH
asked.
Smith replied thot he had been told
by Colonel Grimstead that the orders of
General Strong were that prisoners
were to be treated with the most ruthless
severity.
"Grimstead told me," Smith added,
"that the men were to be treated as
general prisoners."
Says Treatment Was Severe
The witness explained that treatment
of general prisoners was much moro
severe than that of minor offenders un
der ordinary conditions, although most
of the men "sentenced to Farm Number
2 were guilty only of such misdemean
ors as being absent without leave.
"Was it your understanding," he
was asked, "that these men were to be
treated In such a way that, they never
would come back to Paris or pass
through these farms again?
"Yes," wus the answer.
In reply to nn Inquiry as to whether
he ever had discussed conditions at the
farm with his superiors, Smith replied:
"I told the adjutnnt that some one
would be in Leavenworth before we got
through."
"What was the name of the adju
tant?" "Adjutant Hanson.''
"You believe there would be trouble
because of the complaints?"
"I realized some one would be made
the goat."
Smith was asked about complaints of
prisoners that the had lost money a
the prison farm. He replied that very
few of the prisoners brought with them
more than n few francs. Most of the
men sent to the farm of whirh he was
in command, came from another prison
known as the Bastile, where, it lias been
charged, prisoners were treated more
cruelly thnn in any other of the Ameri
can detention camps.
Denies Prisoners Wcro Beaten
Smith testified that many of the sol
diers who came from the ''Bastile"
complained they had been unable to get
funds for which they hud receipts. He
declared he took up this subject in
correspondence, 4ut could not get a
satisfactory explanation.
Asked if he had records of this cor
respondence, he said he had not, ex
plaining that when he was placed on
trial before a court-martial he endeav
ored to locate the records, of prison
farm No. 2, but was informed they
had disappeared.
Smith denied thnt prisoners nt the
farm he commanded ever were beateu.
He said he disciplined Sergeant Clar
ence Ball, whom he once saw strike a
man. The worst conditions at the farm
resulted from a shortage of food and
fuel. Many of the men slept In the
mud on straw, he stated, and he had
tried vainly to remedy conditions.
Smith was in charge of prUon farm
No. 2 from'October 31, 1018, to De
cember of the same year.. He was di
rectly responsible to Colonel Grimstead,
to whom he reported and who visited
tho farm several times a week. Grim
stead was thoroughly familiar with the
conditions. Smith declared..
When Smith was taken before a
court-martial on charges of cruelty ho
was 'convicted and sentenced to three
years' imprisonment, but the term later
was reduced to eighteen months. He was
brought back from France recently and
tnken to the 'disciplinary barracks at
Fort Jay, Governor's Island.

JUDGE SHULL FILES NOMINATION PETITION
HAItRISBURG, July 20. Judge S. L. Shull, of the Monroe
Pike district, today filed his petition to be a candidate for nomi
nation for the full terra. Judge Shull was appointed to fill a
hhuih ou me ucutu ju mm uiBirici, , .
council of the league; and that this
special precision for the snfet) of

majority vote, shall ngree thnt tlie
provisions of the covenant of the
Icigiie nfliird her Hiilficieiit protection.
I wns moved to sign tills treaty by
considerations which will. 1 hope,
seem ns persuasive and ns irresistible
to jou as they seemed to me.
We are bound to France bj tir
of friendship, which we have nlwa)s
regarded, and shnll alwajs icgoiil.
ns peculiarly sacred. She assisted
us to win our freedom ns n nation
It is seriously to be doubted whether
we could have won It without her gal
lant and timely aid.
Still Indebted to Frnnre
Wo have recently had the privilege
of assisting in driving enemies, who
were also enemies of the world, from
her soil ; but thnt does not pay our
debt to her. Nothing can pay such a.
debt. She now desires thnt we should
promise to lend our gieat forre to
keep her safe against the power she
lias had most leason to fear. Another
great nation volunteers the snine
promise.
It is one of the fine reversals of
history that thnt cither nation should
be the mm power from whom France
fought to set us fiee. V new dny has
duwncd. Old antagonisms arc for
gotten. Tlie common cause of freedom
and enlightenment lias created new
comradeships, and a new perception
of what it !h wise and necessarj for
gieat nations to do to free the world
of intolerable fear.
Would Assist Friend
Two governments who wish to be
members of the league of nations ask
leave of the council of the league to
be permitted tn go to the assistance
of a friend whose situation has been
found to be one of peculiar peril,
without awaiting the advice of the i
league to nc t. ' i
It is by taking such pledges as this !
that we prove ourselves faithful to
(he utmost to the high obligations of I
gratitude and tested friendship. Sich I
an net us this seems to ne one of the '
pioofs that we arc a people that sees
the true heart of duty and prefers
honor to its own separate course of

French Treaty Appeal
The French treaty is meant to be
a part of the peace pact as n tem
porary supplement.
It is to be nn arrangement not
Independent of the league pf nations,
but under it.
The object is to provide imme
diate military assistance to France
in ease of unprovoked aggression by
Germany.
A new da) has dawned. Old an
tagonisms are forgotten.
Tlie pledge to France would be
n proof that we arc a people that
sees the true henit of duty and pre-'
fers honor to its own separate
course of peace.
Nothing can pay such a debt 'as
we owe France.
I Ily the Associated Press
Washington, July 2tt.PresIdn)lM
1 Wilson today transmitted to the Sen. '
I ate the special treaty with France by
which the I'nited Stntcs pledges Itself, '
I to cone immediately to the aid of ths ,
i republic in the event of an unprovoked .,
I attack by Germany nnd nsked forIts
I early ratification "nlong with the treaty
with Germany."
Tlie President departed from 'hi
usual custom of addressing the Senate
in person. His message wns read by
tlie clerk ofter tlie Sennte, on motion of
Srnntor Lodge, the Republican leader,
had agieed to receive tlie treaty in open
session. There wns no discussion after
the reading nnd the treaty wns referred
to the foreign relations committee.
In submitting the treaty President
Wilson made no direct reference to the,
ehnrges recently made on the Senate
floor by Republic-nils thnt he had viorf
lated a section of the pact by not sub
mitting it nt the same time that the
treaty of Versailles was presented.
"Now that you have had nn opportu,
nit) to exnmiue tlie great document
(treaty with Germnny) I presented to
you two weeks ago," he said, "it seems
opportune to lay before ou this treaty,
which is meant to be in effect a part
of it."
The Franco-American treaty iR al
most identical with one signed between
Great Britain and France. One differ
ence between the texts ns mnde public;
by the French foreign office to which"
nttention has been called Is that the
United States pledges itself to go "Im
mediately" to the assistance of Franco
while Great Britnin "consents" to as
sist that country.
Arrangement Under League
The President told the Senate tha
purpose of the treaty wns to provide
assistance for France in case of un
provoked aggression by Germany with
out waiting for the advice of the coun
cil nf the league of nations thnt such
action should be taken nncl explained
thnt it was to be nn nrrangcnient, "not
independent of the league of nations
but tinder it."
"The covenant of the league of na
tions." the President said, "provides
for military action for the protection
of Its members only upon the advice pf
the council of the league, advice given,
it is to be presumed, only upon delibera
tion nnd acted upon by each of the
governments" of the member statrs onljj

Pointing out that the treaty "shan
receive the approval of the council ofet''i
tho league," tho President said It would)li,-,''
remain in force "only until, upon the"
application of one of the parties to It
