The preceding ministry, composed
partly of former members of the llela
Kun government, was invited to
withdraw by us, supported by public
opinion. The ministry resigned the
night before last and a new trans
ition ministry was constituted.
In my quality of dictator and as the
transition ministry requested, I as
Mimed power and accredited a govern
ment. The population of the capital learn
ed with the greatest enthusiasm of the
Bolshevist regime, as, I am persuaded,
will the population of the entire
country.
Our first object is preparation for
convocation at the earliest possible
moment of the national assembly, so
the latter may pronounce on the
question of what form of state shall
be established on a constitutional
basis.
Until then our program will con
sist of stamping out boishevism, im
planted by the actions of the ter
rorists; fulfillment of the armistice
terms: restoration of normal condi
tions of security ; resumption of pro
ductive work In the country, and
preparations for the peace negotia
tions. For all these reasons we seek the
c!ocst contact with the Allies and
solicit your kind support and recog
nition of our government in the in
terest of success of our efToits.

Hungarian communist measures, abol
ishing private property, have been
abrogated in a decree issued by the
new Hungarian Government, according
to a dispatch from Budapest. All own
ers are enjoined by the government to
lesume the direction of their properties
and to continue agricultural activities.
A delegation representing the Occho:.
Slovak government is on its way to
Budapest, according to a report re
cehed today from Prc-sburg. about
midway between Vienna and the Hun
garian capital.
Count Paul Teleky, who will repre
sent the Hungarian !ocrnnient at
Szegedin in conferences with the new
goternment at Ilmlapest, arrived at
Budapest yesterday, and had a long
talk with Aichdukc Joseph. Count
Teleky will confer with Premier I'riccl
rich today.
Budapest. Aug. 11. (By A. P.)
Anti-Jew Nil feeling is of the strongest in
Budapest. Many Jews have been beaten
in the Mrets. after having been drugged
from cabs and tramcars. the Itiimanian
troops looking on laughinglv and in
citing the Hungarians to further attacks
on the .lews.
Stephen Friediieh. the new premier,
in an interiew on Saturday, denied
that the change in government meant a
return to the monarchist system in Hun
gary. Paris, Aug. 11. The Peace Confer
ence, It became known today, is chang
ing entirely its attitude towaVd the Ru
manian army in Budapest.
The conference, it is learned, is not
disposed to bbU the Rumanians to leave
the Hungarian capital immediately, de
spite the fact that the Supreme Inter
allied Council had asked the Rumanians
not to enter Budapest.
While the council is indignant over
Rumanian seizures of supplies in Hun
gary preparatory to shipping them to
Rumania, many delegates to the confer
ence are of the opinion that it will be
necessary for the invaders to remain
in Budanest to steady the situation, at
least temporarily.
The council today was still without
a direct reply to the ultimatum which
it scut the Rumanian Government last
week.

Myers Attacks Rail Control Pro
posal in Senate 'Vicious,'
Says Pomereno
STRIKE VOTE BEGINS SOON
By the Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 11. Reports to
the railroad administration tpday indi
cated that thf strike situation west of
Chicago and in the southeast virtually
was normal. In New England and in
Chicago, however, many men still were
reported ont.
Voting on the official strike ballot Is
expected to begin soon and In the mean
time all the men had been ordered back
to work.
Arrangements have been made for a
conference today of railroad leaders
with Director General Hlnes. Directors
of labor for the administration all over
the country have been called in for the
conference. About fourteen of the
brotherhood heads will also he present.
The Plumb plan1 for tripartite con
trol of the railroads Is "vicious" and
there Is nothing akin to it outside of
Bolshevik Russia., Senator Pomerene,
Democrat, Ohio, declared In a letter
sent to officials of the railroad broth
erhoods in Ohio, and made public here
today.
Declaring the plan was "worse
than socialism," Senator Pomerene
said the American people would never
approve It "or anything akin to it,"
and added :
"The public does not want to be
skinned, but if It must be skinned it
will make little difference whether it
be by Wall street or by the methods
provided for in the proposed Plumb
plan.
Calls Plumb Plan Anarchy
The Plumb plan was denounced in
the Senate today by Senutor .Myers,
Democrat, of Montana, as an attempt,
to "sovietlze" American industry.
"There has long been conducted a
sinister nnd insidloiiH effort and propa
ganda to tenth boishevism and anar
chism in this countrj," said Senutor
Myers. "I have wondered who would
take it upon himself to put in concrete
form the issue of boishevism. As long
ns it was abstract I feared no datigcr.
The veil of mystery has been lifted.
I am sorry to say that it falls to the
railroad brotherhoods to present a con
crete test of bolshcvlni against Amer
icanism. "I am ready to meet that test to
sacrifice both my political and phjslcal
life, if nccessarj rather than be a
party to bovlctlzlng this country's in
dustries. The issue now is boishevism
against Americanism. It cannot be
dodged or sidestepped. There is no mid
dle ground."
Senator Myers declared the laiiroud
brotherhoods were telling Congress to
"stand and deliver," adding that he
opposed any increase for the railroad
emplojes because; the railroads now
were operating at great loss and with
the people already burdened by in
creased freight and passenger rates.
Approaching the close of his long
statement in support of his plan,
Glenn K. PJumb today called the at
tention of the House interstate com
merce committee to what he described
as "glaring defects" In other propos
uls submitted for solution of the rail
road problem.
Strike Is Partly Broken
Chicago, Aug. 11. Striking federated
railwaymcn returned to work at a num
ber of points today, while nt others they
voted to remain out until their demands
for increase of wages were grnnted.
Plans for holding the national confer
ence of strikers called for next Thurs
day went forward today by the Chicago
district council.
"Action to be taken at this confer
ence is now up to the director general
of railroads," J. D. Sanders, secretary
of the Chicago council, said. "We ex
pect word from Washington some time
today. Should the administration delay
action further, the men will refuse to
return to their jobs."

MYSTIC ILL EIRE
Bodies of Man and Woman Re
covered From Ruins at
Montreal Park
SOUSA PLAYS DURING BLAZE
By Associated Press
Montreal, Aug. 11. Search today
among the ruins of tne "Mystic Mill,"
n scenic railway destroyed by fire at
Dominion Park yesterday, brought to
light two more bodies, raising the to
tal of dead to nine. 'Die bodies found
this morning were those of a man and
woman. None of those recovered has
been Identified.
The fire started In the mill proper
and soon the flames laid hold on the
skeleton structure of the ratlwny. lien
tho firemen arrived the mill was a
blazing pyre, and a few mlnutevs later
that part of the railway constructed
over the mill fell with a crash Into the
roaring furnace. According to wit
nesses. a car filled with merrymakers
took a fatal leap into the flames.
Coming from the mill could be heard
moans of agony and cries for help, but
the firemen found it possible to rescue
only a few of the men. women and chil
dren trapped in the blazing structure.
They did succeed, however, In cutting
their way through the walls and drag
ging forth a few persons almost smoth
ered by the smoke.
It was a ghastly tragedv. When re
ports of the fire reached the citv thou
sands of persons hastened to the park,
seven miles away, In every manner of
conveyance.
On reaching the resort, nothing tragic
nt first met the eye of these curiosity
seekers. To allay the fears of the thou
sands who had already crowded the
park Sousa's Band, which is playing
there this week, continued its concert,
nnd. while shouts of the firemen mingled
with the moans of the dying, there came
from the bandstand the notes of opera
and ragtime airs. Even when the morgue
wagon arrived flying Its black flag the
gnv tunes continued.
The cause of the fire is undetermined,
but It is believed 'it was started by a
lighted cigaiette or match.
T, R. Cooper, director of the park,
who stated the property loss would
reach S."0,000, declared he was unable
to explain how the victims had been
trapped In the burning structure, as
"the place is inspected every cjav and
everything was in perfect order." It
is expected that an inquest will be
called today, but it probably will be ad
journed until all the bodies have been
recnered
Meat Held in City

Continued From Paso One
beef in another case." Kaid-Mr. Sim
mers, "nnd for the same reason. It
had been too long in storage.
Owned In Philadelphia
"This beef was owned right here in
Philadelphia. I went to the owner and
told him that he dare not sell the beef
here, or i would have him arrested.
"He sold the beef in Camden.
"The New Jernj law provide- that
after a man has kept meat iu storage
for more than the legal time he may
call for a reiuspection. If the deport
ment cannot inspect the meat at once
for any reason, the 'owner may be
granted an extension.
"An attempt was made to have the
law changed here ho ns to insert the
same provision for reinspectlon. The
attempt failed, however.
. "When the owner of these seventy
three quarters of beef found be could
not sell his meat in Philadelphia, he
carted the entire lot to Camden. They
sold and ate It in Camden."
Kcry available man in the local De
partment of Justice has been assigned
to the Investigation of alleged food
hoarders in this city, nccordlng to Todd
Daniel, head of the department.
Liquor Probe Held Up
Comprehensive knowledge of the food
situation in this city will be in the
hands of the government by the end
of this week, he said. In the mean
while, sajd Mr. Daniel, the liquor in
vestigation will hmo to come to a vir
tual standstill.
A conference was held between Act
ing United States Attorney Harvey and
Mr. Daniel today, at which further
plans for the prosecution of the food
Investigation was discussed. It was
decided at this meeting to call in for
further conference men known to hove

Allies Concealed
Treaties From U. S.
fonllncin! From Tare On
resolutlonlsts, Mr. I,anslng was asked
If Mr. Vhlnnl and Mr. Balfour, who
came here on missions upon our entrance
into the war. hud told us uujtlilug.
They had not, said Mr. Lansing.
Refuses (o Interpret Balfour
Mr. Borah rend an extract from
parllamcntarj reports in which Mr.
Balfour was made to sn In reply to a
question that the r,tiglih Government
had kept the President of the United
States fully Informed, the implication
being that Kngland had dealt with the
United States with the utmost frnnk
ness. Mr. Lansing declined to inttrpict
the words of Mr. Bnlfour,
The result of all this was to show
the network of secret Uuropean diplo
macy Into which we had become en
meslied, to prove that even when the
Entente powers signed the nrmistice
and ngreed to the fourteen points the
did so secretly knowing that they were
bound b treaties which were iniou
sistent with those declarations of policy.
Furthermore they did not disclose
their secret arrangements, except ns the
Russian revolutionists revealed them,
until February of this jenr, though the
American President and his nssoelates
were sitting around the tnble with them,
irtunllj as allies, working out not onlv
a treaty of peace, but the covenant of
n new world order, one of the first of
whose principles was open diplomucy.
Reveal "Dark Methods"
The purpose of the inquiry was not
to show that the present administration
had not been diplomat lenity competent,
but to displ.iv the dark and uuregener
ate methods of Europe-mi diplomncj, and
thus throw an nhnospliorc of suspicion
over the treatj that was negotiated and
the league ot nations. The intent was
to strengthen the case for reservations,
or. ns some of the senators prefer, the
rejection of the league. With this end
in view, the session was fruitful.
Ianslng Sought Open Door
The secretary of stato also explained
the Lnnsing-lshii agreement. Accord
ing to Mr. Lansing his object was to
obtnin from Japan a reaffirmation of the
open door, that he thought was of the
highest importance.
The agreement, he said, was not per
nianentlj binding upon the United
States, but could be ubrognted Mr
Lansing defined the recognition of
Japan's interests in China contained In
the Lansing-Ishii agreement by quoting
stenogiapluc memoranda of conversn
tions between himself nnd Viscount
Ishii
The Japanese statesman had brought
up the question of Japan's special in
ter-sts iu China. Mr. Lansing had said
thnt if Ishii meant by special interests
paramount interests the United States
could not consider ninkiug nnv declarn -(ion
locogiming them. If he merely
meant interests arising from geographi
cal position from the contiguit.v of the
two countries it could do so.
Monroe Doctrine of Kast
Viscount Ishii had brought up the
question of the Monroe Doctrine, saj -ing
that there should be n Monroe
Doctrine of the Far Hast.
Mr. Lansing had icplied that the
Monroe Doctrine had been misunder
stood. It was not a declaration of the
parMimuntc.v of the I nlted States In the
(Vcstern Hemisphere. It was a dcilara
ion that the couiitiies here should have
a right of self-development free from
interference by the rest of the world.
It was not even n declaration that the
I'nited States should plaj a leading role
in that development.
The implication of Mr. Ltoising's re
mnrks was that the administration
would not objeit to Monroe Doctiinc
thus understood for the Far Fast. In
effect, such a Monroe Doctrine would be
the open dooi for China.
The secretarj's explanation of the
I.aiising-Ishii ngreement tended to re
move it as an obstacle to the acceptance
of the treaty.
KIAO-CHAU RETURN
PROMISED BY ISHII
Assured Lansing of Statement
Made to Viscount Grey
Washington. Aug. 11. (Bj A P )
Secretary Lansing in his testimony be
fore the Senate foreign relations com
mittee today said that on September i,
1017, during the negotiations lending up
to the Lansing-Ishii agreement Viscount
Ishii told him that he hud assured Sir
Edward Grey, the British foreign min
ister, that Japan would return Kiao
Chau to China, "but would have to re
tain the German Pacific Islands because
no Jnpauese government could stand
without retaining them."
"Did Viscount Ishii make any further
statement regarding the German claims
in China?" asked Senator Borah. Re
publican. Idaho,
"No," replied Secretary Lansing.
"But jou know now that at that
time Japan had an understanding with
Great Britain for the Japanese control
of Kiao-Chau and that Ishii concealed
thot from the secretary of the United
States."
"That's the truth."

New Movement Would Extend
Nationalization Plan Proposed
for Railroads
SEEK TO RUN COAL MINES
Xcw York. Aug. 11. -The plnn of
orginlzed Inhor to nationalize the rall
ronds of this country extends not only
to other grent industries, but contem
plates the inclusion of banking, accord
ing to a Washington dispatch to the
World
According to infoimntion reaching
senators (lie present movement for joint
control of tiansportatlon is only the
beginning In n comprehensive plan to
develop this arangement in sequence,
favored by opportune conditions.
The first general warning of the pro
gram said to have been adopted for
widespread nntlonnlbiition was given
by Senator King. He received his in
formation from labor leaders of promi
nence In his ocvn stnte of Utah. Similar
advices subsequently came to Senator
Bomb and others One senator already
has been approached on the subject.
It is indicated thnt n general drive
mav soon he in progress along well de
fined lines that have been appioved
heretofore by labor leaders throughout
the country.
It is Intended, according to the pro
gram ns related to Senator King and
some of his associates, that any tie-up
of transportation, possibly followed bv
suffering and hardships of nil kinds,
will result in government ownership of
the railroads, if some method of joint
I domination by the government, the em
Iployes and the public is not made opera
tive I When winter comes' on the national
i7ation of nil coal mines will he de
inianded. piesiimnhlv hei aided bv a pro
' IHim'iI Mtrilfo nf tninoru A mlf-enf Imi
will be offered that the government as
suini full control of the mines.
This proposition differs a trifle fiom
I that connected with the railroads in
thai it is contended that the manage
ment and operation of conl mines must
be left to those most fnmiliar with
such woik. This means that the tnk
, ing out of coal would be supervised hr

' . .....it .in.- ,,.inii ,., .inn i mi
The third step would come in the
spring It is intended then to insist
that the government take over all the
banking facilities of the country and
manage them for the people nnd in their
interests.
The idea is that nil the profits now
coming to the hankers would fall to
I the government, thereby les-eninc the
cost of living nnd more eqiiitnblv dis
tributing nil the vaiious benefits that
come from enjovment ot the piivileges
extended bj the hanks.
Leading bankers in this citr don't
take the idea of the control of bunks
bv the government nt the die tatcs of la
bor vcrv seriouslv.
John If. Ma'on. president of the
Commercial Tiust Compitnj and di
lcctor of the war loan campaigns, said
thnt already the government has practi
cal contiol of the hanking facilities of
the country thiough the Federal Re
serve sjstem. and as the government in
this countrj means the people them
selves, what more does labor want?
William A. Law, president of the
First National Bank, said in his opinion
labor has gone its full length nnd will
find thnt the temper nf the country is
such that it will stand for no more
dictution from that source
The vice president of u large trust
company said the idea is iibsuid Such
a move would mean the establishment
of what wc have got away from the
central bank idea and this country is
not going buikvvard.

was n simple one, if stripped of Its die
tionaiies nnd philosophies. It was
sitnplv, he said, that Ilenr.v Ford nbiiHed
the government and the Tribune "called
him and called him right."
"That's all theie is to it," went on
Mr Stone. "Don't be confused because
of Mr. Ford's great wealth. I hope
thnt if I ever hear any one nbusing my
government I will hnve the nerve to call
him, nnd call him right. If Henry Ford
had known ns much about other things
as he does about mechanics, he would
not have made u laughing stock of him
self with his peace ship."
