The Board of Trade also made nnblie
today a protest entered jointly bv the
Board of Trade, the Philadelphia I
Bourse, the Maritime Exchange and the j
Produce Exchange against a statement
made recently bv Director (iciicral '
Hincs. to the effect that it would be
necessary to diiert freight to southern,
ports by preferential rates, because of ,
the great cost of making freight ship-
menls from New York and Philadelphia

This is true principally because of the

country a lot of trouble and learn just
what it means.
If you do, don't go to the Philadel

pared to submit to nn inquisition de
signed to bare joininnermost thoughts.
Then if you leave your nnme and ad
dress, present business nnd previous
condition of servitude, you may be per
mitted to look at books on these sub
jects provided jour inquisitor decides
from vour answers, physical appearance

person to read them.
All this according to Prof. Edward
P. Cheyney. of the T'uiversity of Penn

"We imposed these restrictions after

said Mr. Ashhurst. "We require ap

what uses are to be made of the hooks

That is done so that we may know who

her home in Jersey City Heights, N. J.
My heart and my hands are right
near full." Mrs. Baxter wrote lied
Cross workers, when she asked for their
help in fiuding her husband, "My cour
age is right near gone. I am sorry to
bother jou with my troubles, but per
bans you will understand."
Mrs. Baxter is nursing her young
son, who has pneumonia. More than
a month ago her husband, who has not
been well siuoo he had formaldehyde
poisoning in France, went to Wash
ington to obtain compensation due from
the government, lie hoped to go to
Denver later to see if the climate there
would better his lung trouble.
Then Mrs. Baxter received a tele
gram from him saying he "had two bad
attacks during the trip. Had to leave
train at riiiladelphia. ' That is the last
word she had had from him, and so far
no trace has been found of him in Phil
adelphia. SEIZE LIQUOR FROM CANADA

Analyze Pennsylvania Condi
tions and Seek Betterment

The educational situation in Penn
sylvania is due for a thorough airing
at the scenth annual schoolmen's; week
convention at tho I'nlvcvsity of Penn
sylvania, according to an announcement
made today by (he committee of ten,
whicli is in charge of arrangements.
After a year's deliberation, these

to "pick to pieces" Pennsylvania's

its distribution.

agement of the schools, and the reor
ganization of the Pennsylvania State
Educational Association.
Reorganization of the public school
curriculum.
Whether the convention, to be held
in April, will be able to determine defi
nite reconstructive recommendations is
declared problematical by members of
(be committee.
The subordinate topics which will be
discussed and considered will include
the reorganization of the secondary
schools of Pennsylvania ; consolidation
nnd transportation, including redistri
bution of terminal units in the rural
schools ; educational measurements ;
remedy for defects found in arithmetic
and reading; how to conduct a cam
paign for increased support of schools;
a state system of certification of teach
ers and intelligence tests as an aid in
college entrance examinations.
Six of the University of Pennsyl
vania's experts are on the committee in
charge of the convention. They nre:

SOCIALIST QUIZZED
INNEWYORKPROBE
Secretary of Local First Witness
Called Befoi"i Legislative
Committee
PARTY PLATFORM EVIDENCE
By the Associated Press
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 22. Julius Ger-
ber, secretary of the New York local of
the Socialist party, was. tho first wit
ness called today nt the trial before the
Assembly judiciary committee of the
fivo suspended Socialist assemblymen
charged with disloyalty.
As soon na Gerbcr had been sworn J.
B. Stanclificld, committee counsel, ob
tained from him a copy of the constitu
tional platform of the Socialist party
in 1017, which was introduced in evi
dence. Mr. Stanchfield also introduced in
evidence the state constitution of the
Socialist party, from which ho read
excrpts, including one providing that
candidates for public office should, on
receiving nomination, leave their resig
nations with thc party to insure their
fulfilling party commands. U.vluws of
the New York county organization also
were introduced.
Mr. Stanclificld read exfj-ncts from
thc nntionnl platform, which says the
consent of the party organization, state
or local, is necessary for any member of
tho 'party to hold public office. All per
sons jo'ining tho party must subscribe
to a pledge to be guided in nil political
actions by the constitution and prin
ciples of the party organization.
All Must Bo Pacifists
Any Socialist voting for any appro
priation for military or naval purposes
shall be expelled from tho party, ac
cording to the constitution. Tho instru
ment further prescribed that Socialists
elected to legislative bodies should or
ganize into a group separate from nil
other parties and should ulways vote
as a unit.
Expulsion from tho party is the pen
alty provided in thc constitution for
voting for any candidate for public of
fice other than Socialist party members,
who bus not been indorsed or recom
mended by the party organization.
Thc application of Samuel A. Dewitt
and Samuel "Orr, two of the suspended
asemblymen, were introduced as ex
hibits, und Mr. Hollquit admitted for
ids clients that thc other three member-!,
Chnrlcs Solomon, August Clacssens nnd
Louis AVuldmau, had signed identical
cards.
Tho card bears ou one side the flam
ing torch, which is the Socialist em
blcm. as well as thc decision bv tho un-
plicant that ho recognizes the neces
sity ot organization 111 the struggle be
tween the "capitalist class" and the
workers. The .reverse side contnins sta
tistical information as lo residence,
citizenship, age. place of birth, and thc
names of socialist publications ot which
ho is a regular reader.
Socialist Utiles Are World-Wido
After Gerber had testified that he
was familiar with tho literature of the
Socialist party iu other countries,
Morris Hillquit, chief counsel for the
defense, asked if it was not true that
the same rules prevailed in tho Socialist
party tho world over.
Wheu Mr. Stanchfield objected ou
the ground that "wc arc not interested
in the party otitside the United States,"
Mr. Hillquit said ho was ready to ac
cept that statement if the prosecution
would confine itself to the party iu
America. The chair ruled the question
could be answered and Gerbcr replied
in the affirmative.

Atlanta. Ga.. Jan. 22. (Bv A. Pi
Late developments have blasted tho
assumption ot the police that the youn;
woman held here is Jeanno Anna Dp

of Hull House, Chicago.
The woman, who vas arrested at a
local hotel for masquerading in an avia
tor's uniform, at first told tho police shn
was Miss De Kay, then contradicted
herself, and under cross-examination
the police claim she told several differ
ent stories. In the last of these sh
again said she was Miss De Kay until
her marriage to Harrow De Longc, who
is now ut a Now York hotel.
A description of the woman under or,
rest was sent to Chicago, nnd word was
