Colonel Thomas F. Median, for nine
teen years a member of the National

wounded in France while serving with

Jt was also decided by the one hun
dred this afternoon that the executive
cpmmittec and tiic councilmanic com
mlttec would act jointly in making
recommendations to the central body for
candidates for city commissioners and
the new city council.
The action taken by the committee
In naming Lieutenant Colonel Median
for the nomination for recorder of
deeds fulfilled the prediction that an
effort would be made by tho indepen
dtnts in the present fight to gain the
soldier Tote.
' Colonel Median was named yester
day, by tho Bounivvell Democrats to run
for the office of recorder of deeds on
their ticket It is understood that
Colonel Meehan did not accept the place
qn that ticket and will run for office
with Congressman Moore. -

that "attempts of the Vare forces to
capture the soldier vote will not prove
very successful.
"I feel we are going to have a fight
that will result in a victbry to a just
cause," said Congressman Moore. "If
the contractors think they can play the
soldiers against tho forces of Republi-
canlsmju this fight they have another
minis coming.
Won't Stand Prusslanlsm
"If there's one thing the sol
diers complain of, it is Prussianism
wherever it happens to crop out. That's
abat they went over to fight, and you
can depend on it they will not stand
for it in American politics."
Thc committee of one hundred, which
met this afternoon at the City Club,
was expected to give serious consider
ation to the suggestion that a soldier

ber of members of the committee as to
tho advisability of recognizing the sold
'ier vote, nnd those to whom I talked felt
tho time as I do about it."
Lieutenant Colonel Thomas F. Mee
han, who was wounded In France while
fighting with the Seventy-eighth Divl
slon, has-been suggested for a place on
the ticket of the Independents. On the

'Storage of food until it is wasted,

United States District Attorney Kane

prices in the open market.
Robert M. Simmers, state dairy and
food agent here, said today there nrc
thousands of pounds of meat and fish
in cold storage warehouses in this city
that hive been condemned for sale
within this state because they have
been allowed to remain there for a

HAS MOYER'S CERTIFICATE
By a Staff Corrrspondrnt
New York, Aug. 1,1. Jesse S. Phil
lips, superintendent of insurance of the
state of New York, declared today that
ho expected to recover the deposits of
both the New York National Fire In
surance Company nnd the Seneca Fire
Insurance Company in the North Penn
Rank.
Seen at his office, 105 Rroadway, and
told that Attorney fleneral Schaffer, of
Pennsylvania, had declared the authori
ties would fight all attempts to et
money from the assets of the plundered
bank, said to hove been deposited by
Jnmes J. Roland, the promoter and
chief owner of both companies, Super
intendent Phillips scoffed at the idea.
"We have iu our possession the cer
tificates of deposit signed by tho cash
ier of the North Penn Rank," said he.
That's enough for us. We'll get what
wo con in the end."
Informed again that the common
wealth of Pennsylvania would resist any
attempt to secure any insurance monies,
Superintendent Phillips said that
"whatever Attorney General Schaffe,r
thought or said about the matter meant

Told thht threats had been made by
the head of the law department of Penn

further.
TO VETO DAYLIGHT REPEAL
Wilson Expected to Return Anti
Light Saver This Week
Washington, Aug. 13. (By A. P.)
President Wilson, It was said today,
will veto the law repealing the daylight
ravings act. The measure has been
before the President since August 5 and
he is expected to return it to Congress
before the end of the week.
Efforts to pais the agricultural bill
with Its repeal over the President's veto
failed -last month, and leaders in both
the House and Senate doubt that the
two-thirds majority necessary to puss
tho repeal law over the executive's hen 1
can be mustered.
New Yorh, Aug. 1,1, Senator Pen
rose i..IR aligned himself against the
proposed repeal of the daylight saving
law, according to an announcement here
last night by the National Daylight
Saving Association, declaring that the
senator had so notified Robert Gar

"It must he understood," Mr ICnnc
explained, "that nil storing of food is
not criminal. Some storage is for the I

season of scarcity comes. This has I
been permitted for a long time." 1
When asked whether lie had taken'
action in connection with the charge.!
of Mr. Simmers, Mr. Kane said : I
"I would rather be charged with neg
lect than defeat the ends of justice
by hurrjing to tell of what is beiug

Jay Cooke, former Philadelphia food
administrator, will fill no federal office
in the campaign against the high cost of
living here unless it shall be shown that
bis scrices are "absolutely rcouircd for
the benefit of the people of the city."
Mr. Cooke, who is at Rnr Harbor,
Me., was icqucstcd by Howard Heinz,
the war food administrator for Penn

accordance with a notification received
on Monday from Attorney General
Palmer, in Washington.
In answer to the request made by
Mr. Heinz, the following telegram was
received here today from Mr. Cooke:
I have advised Mr. Heinz that I
will not return to Philadelphia be
fore the end of August, and can do
nothing from here. The war Is ended.
Unless it is clearly demonstrated that
my services are absolutely required
for the benefit of the people of Phila
delphia I will not accept any federal
appointment.
In asking for the appointment by Mr,
Cooke of a "fair price" committee, Mr.
Heinz said that Attorney General
Palmer expects investigations to follow
complaints about prices, and that in
his telegram to all the former county
administrators in the state he urged
hearty co-operation witn the district at

THREAT MADE TO FORCE
VOTE ON PACT IN SENATE
Lodge Agrees to Haste, Spurred
by "Middle-Ground" Re
publicans By the Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 1.1. At a stormy
session today thc Senate foreign re
lations committee ngreed to expedite
consideration of the pence treaty. Re
reading of disputed sections and the con
sideration of possible amendments will
begin tomorrow.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
ranking Democrat of the committee, was
understood to have told the committee
Hint unless there was early committee
action an attempt might be made to
force a vote on thc treaty in the Sen
ate. Chairman Lodge and others were un
derstood to hnve expressed assent to
thc proposal to hasten the committed
consideration, but Senaltu nil,. He
publican, of New Mexico, was said to
hnve taken the position that any pre
cipitate action would be impractical.
Charges Unfair Reflections
During the debate, which was in ex
ecutive session, it was reported mem
bers had a bitter nrguinent. Senator
Fall, Republican, tleclnring thnt Sena
tor Hitchcock and others had questioned
the motives of the Republicans and
mnde unfair rcllections on the commit-
I tee's course. Senator Hitchcock was
said to have replied with equal, vigor.
It was said Senator Hitchcock told
the committee there was an increasing
demand iu the Senate ami throughout
thc country that the treaty bo disposed
of, and thnt he expressed the belief
that virtually every senator-already had
made up his iniud how be would vot;e.
No Avoidable Delay ; $-
Senator Lodge is understood to have
replied that lie also favored action nt
soon as practicable, but that so fa
there had been no avoidable delay in the
trrnty's consideration.
Senator Fall gave It as his opinion
that to hasten ratification would he un
wise, ns settlements to which the United
! States would be asked to assent still
i were to be determined in other treaties
'not jet in the hnnds of the Senate.
iTIie discussion iu thc committee was
Intel pretctl as related to the insistence
, for action by the group of Republican
'senators who hac agreed on u program
which they believe will hae the ultl
, mate assent of the Democratic lenders,
i'l'liey also expect thnt in their plan they
I will hnve the co-operation also of thalr
mnn Lodge.
German .Money Used, Is Charged
Representatives Hefliu, Democrat, of
Alabama, charged iu the House today
that "German money and munition
money and manufacturers' money is
j back of the propaganda to defeat th
league of nations."
Mr. Hefliu declared "money by the
' thousands is being expended nntl news
papers purchased to poison public sen
timent," and that men had been hired
to assassinate the league.
"Are German agents in this country
now to succeed in doing what they were
.unable to do in time of war?" asked
'lletlin. "They were here blowing up
