Coat and vest off, shirt sleeves rolled up, he sat In his office at the Hellcvue-9trut-ford "up to his cars" In work. "The way in which the rnllinnd ad ministration has handled this conven tion," he said, "Is abominable. A number of commanderirs in California and the far West tried to Ret accom modations to get through to Philadel phia aud couldn't. Their absence In due directly to the bunslinp; of the rail road administration. We reitiilnl have been hampered. We had plauncd to have a train for grand masters to start from Pittsburgh nnd make u trip round the Great Lakes, thinugh Nen ork and on to Philadelphia, but the gov ernment refused, sajluc such nccom modations could not he furnished. That was only one of several special train trips that had to be given up. Grand Master Smith said he expected this to be the greatest convention of Knights Templar ever held. "I wish to thank the officials and people of Philadelphia for their splen did reception so far," he said. "This is probably the largest convention wo have ever had, and nowhere have ue been handled so well. " Philadelphia's hospitality will long live In our mem ories." Says Lafean Knew Condition of Bank Continued Frtm rase One ney as n result of his April examina tion were that the North Penn was in a precarious condition. Tile report he made was exhibited and identified by the witness. Wanted nanh Closed lie recommended that all outstand ing loans should be called nnd the di rectors b ordered to make good the $50,000 shortage he had found. Hills payable totaled $.148,000, he reported. He closed the report with the recom mendation that the bank .he closed. T.afran, he said, acknowledged receiv ing the report and his recommendations by letter. "It was hnrd to pick any particular flaw in the North Penn Hank," said Mr. MacBurney, "there were so many of them. I found overdue paper amounting to $63,46.1. The Pressman Tiro and Rubber, Company owed $27, 7S0: F. M. Colton. $2500; K. .1. Reeben $6."00; J.. E. Lyons and A. Fletcher, lTA". There were n host of others, including H. .1. Ilrogou, who owed $.r8,G00. "Bills payable showed $.148,000, and the bank's .capital was only $1."0,000, which gave n total capitalization, with its $50,000 surplus, of only $200,000. Liabilities Twice Capitalization t "The bank then had liabilities of more than twice the amount of its uip Italizatlon. It was on May 7, 1!)1S, that Mr, I.afean gave me written acknowledgment of receiving my re port." Mr. MacBurney said hn had told the officers of the bank to meet at his of fice the following Friday. "I was not present," be said. "1 delivered the report of my uext examination of the North Penn Hank, made 'on September .10. 1018. to him personally, together with a letter of advice.

The bank has mixed its subscriptions for Liberty bonds promiscuously with its funds.' " VOTE ON WILSON'S OFFER Large Number of Shopmen Are Agalnat Its Acceptance While railroad nhopmen are generally with President Wilson, large numbers of them are voting to reject his proposal, due to alleged injustices in pay suf fered by tho men, according to a state ment Isstied by II, S. Jefferey, nttorncy and counselor of the shopmen's or ganization here. The men, he asserted, are antagonized against any resemblance to compromise nn their part because of the refusal of tha Pennsylvania Tiailroad to pay a de ducted bonus to engine.-hoii.se employes and the regular decreed awar.d to other mechanics to which they think them selves entitled. For this reason, Mr. Jefferey aid, many are voting for n re jection of the President's offer.

The oration delivered by flojor General Charlet Maztcrll Clement lefore the , Anij7Aft Templar at Independence Square "Peace has not been attained. Fir-' ing along the Hltidenburg line ceased on Nevembcr 11 last, but the world has grown deeper and deeper Into a far more bitter-struggle than, the one that seemed to terminate on that day. "From that armistice Germany has emerged more materialistic than ever, less injured by the war than nny one else, with her machinery for the pur suits of peace turned to the utniost pitch, and stands ready to pursue her aggressive policies of world aggrandize ment. "As we are gathered hero today around Independence Hall in humility rather than In jubilation, it seems to me we can profitably consider the mo tives which actuated nnd the Ideals which controlled our forefathers in pre paring that declaration. "They enumerated some of the things that justified the step they had taken Surely all these conditions confront us today.

GIL.BEBT Stiff Ctrremwntent nf ttis Kimlnt rablle Istfrr Washington, Sept. .8 President Wil son's fighting speeches have caused sur prise here, even among his friends. He went away with the declared intention to present the case for the treaty and the league covenant calmly and to avoid all controversy. "I mean," he said to bis advisers, "to talk about the issues; nobody Is doing that." Instead, he has swung swiftly Into a sharp attack upon those who were causing delay, reaching the climax when he said that such opponents ought to be gibbeted. The result Is that no nrea identlal speeches have ever been read with such keen attention as those which Mr. Wilson Is now making. The speeches arc taken here to Indl cate supreme confidence. This confi dence is based tipon two things: The President knows that his l;ader in tho Senate, Mr. Hitchcock, has reached a virtual understanding with Henator Mc Cumber on the mild reservations intro duced by the latter. Where these reso lutions differ from the proposals nf Hen. ator Lodge they will be substituted for reservations and amendments of the lat ter, with the aid of Democratic votes. President Scents Victory Th President knows now the me. ure of the concessions he will have to mane an ne will not have any diffi culty making them. He will have won a victory over those who sought to ucteat or amend the treaty. And the second thing that has set tho President talking sharply Is the response tie has bad from his audi ences. All accounts reaching here rcn leseut the people of the West ns tired of the delay In ratifying the treaty, desiring formal peace and inclined to blame business uncertainty upon the tactics of the Republican leaders who are obstructing the treaty. The issue over the league covenant has become highly technical. And popularly the President has the ad vantage Whatever 'lie may have said at the White House conference, the position of his representatives now is, "we are ready to accept anything that does not cause delay. That does not require submission to foreign powers." On the other haud, many Republican senators and prominent ones, too de sire to defeat the treaty and start new protracted negotiations. An advantage of the President's fighting talk is tho effect it will have upon the weak-kneed Democrats. Many stories are being put forth by the "bitter-enders" about the weakness of the President's support in his own party, especially among the southerners. Every day a new list of Democrats is put forth who have gone over to Lodge. Southerners Aid McCumber These reports are like the story once put forth that thirty-seven senators had signed nn agreement to defeat the treaty in certain contingencies. That story was totally untrue. There never was such an agreement. It was alleged to exist to frighten Wilson. Ab a matter of fact, 'the southern Democrats are mild rcservatlonlsts. They staud witli McCumber rather then with Lodge. Shields is a mild reserve -tlonist. The southern Democratic sen ators who oppose the President cannot find much encouragement in the fate of Yardaman and Hardwlck. Botli opposed him. Both were de feat ed. The "bitter-enders" arc plainly wor ried over the .sharpness of the Presi dent's words. Here i an incident: I was sitting iu Rock Creek Park Satur day. A senator who wants to defeat the treaty, rode by on horseback. He reined in his horse and camo over to me, just to usk if I had seen the news paper headline about gibbeting. "That Kind of talk won't get the President anywhere," the senator said. If he had really thought so, he would not have taken the trouble to nsk me what I thought. Wilson Assails All Reservations Ootlnutit From Pair One those on tho other side of the water are not in as good a humor as they had been. The Presideut said he had heard some men wanted the United States, to stand alone for an "armed pan-Americanism," but he did uot believe the people would accept It. He paid a tribute to Senator Hitchcock, the Democratic leader in tho treaty fight, whose home is In Omaha. He had "been proud to stand by Senator Hitchcock," he said, In the fight.

The President chatted for n few minutes with Mr. Delu nnd his mother. New Charter for Labor prompt acceptance of the peace treaty, so that uncertainties in labor conditions throughout the world may be cleared up, was urged by President Wilson during hli address. The inter national labor organization to set up "under the treaty, he said, would give to labor a new bill of rights: The "charter of liberty for the work lngraen of the world' Mr. Wilson said, never had been dreamed of before. He added, tbat there was only one way to ate to the enforcement of such provl lions and that was through a league of nations. Mr. Wilson said he was happy to appeal for acceptance of the treaty, not as the representative of a party, but as the representative of the wholo people, saying that lie believed the peo ple had been led to think there were only four or five clauses in the peace treaty. The President showed to the audi euce a bulky volume containing the treaty text. Those who picked little flaws In it, he declared, had no con ception of the majesty of the document. Every one who had read the treaty, declared the President, agreed that it contained 'la complete settlement of the matters that led to the war," and that it contained the machinery by which they shall stay settled. Settles Land Titles The disputed land titles of Europe had been settled by the treaty, .Mr. Wil son continued, on the basis that in each case the land belonged to the peo ple that lived on it. Declaring the league would include all the great peoples except Germany, the President said Germany would be admitted after "a period of proba tion." He referred to charges that the treaty was top harsh, and said it pro vided only that Germany pay what she was able. She had committed a "crim inal act," he said, and must suffer and pay. ' Confidence that the United States would enter the league at its forma tion was expressed by Mr. Wilson, who said the only alternative would be to stay out and then come in later, along with Germany. Emphasising the arbitration features of the league, he said that In case those processes failed, the result would not be war, but an economic boycott and isolation, under which the strongest na tion in Europe could not stand for six months. After that, he predicted, "they will have no stomach for war." Quoting Articlo X of the league covenant, Mr. Wilson said any one who understands the English lauguage must admit that when It said the -league could "advise it" meant "advise" Hud not compel. He characterized the league ns "the only possible guarantee against war" nnd said be would feel recreant to those who fought the war if he did not secure its adoption. It was not an "absolute" gunruntee, he added, because there was no abso lute guarantee against human passiou. The President arrived at the niidltor ium, where he delivered the address, at 0:55 and was given a rousing recep tion. He spoke to a crowd of Ne brasknns nnd Iowans, which filled every corner of the hall, said to sent 7o00. The President was taken for an eight , mile automobile ride 011 the way to the ball, women of the Red Cross Motor Corps driving the party. Crowds Cheer President On the downtown portions of the ride there were crowds which cheered the President, and in the residential sec tions small crowds bad gathered here and there. Although the presidential special had left Des- Moines, where the President and Mrs. Wilson had rested over Sun day, at midnight it was sidetracked for several hours among the lown corn fields near I'nderwood, so that those on board could complete a full night's rest. It was about 0 o'clock before the train rolled Into Omaha. Leaving immediately after his ad dress at the auditorium the President was to speak tonight nt Sioux Kails, S. D. The President was Introduced to his Omaha audience by, G. W, Wattles, state presideut and' secretary ot the League to Enforce Peace' Mrs. Wilson was on the platform. On the advice of his physician, Dr. Cary T. Grayson, the Presideut Is conserving his strength for the three weeks of travel and speech -making ahead of him. After his breathing spell In Dea MSines Mr. Wilson was nald to be in excellent trim, but Doctor Grayson will Insist that he take things easy wherever possible. It was principally on account of n slight cold Impairing the President's voice that Doctor Grayson prescribed aguinst rear platform speeches. Al though his voice is holding up well, it has broken once or twice during Ills addresses, and to one audience he re marked that the circumstance was due to "the renjalns of a Paris cold." J.
