ington's Birthday Gather
ing on Vital Topic
University Day will be celebrated to
morrow, morning at the Academv of
Music by the membership of L'mversitj
of Pennsylvania. It is an obserun"e
of Washington'- birthday which Ins
been held annually for more than one
hundred years.
Rear Admiral William S. Sjms will
be the orator of the day and he will
speak upon a phae of George Wash
ington's life. Provost TOdgar Falis
Smith will be in charge of the exercises
and ijvfll.npeak briefly.
Half dozen prominent men. includ
ing Admiral Sims, will receive honorary
degrees. These will be conferred upon
tbetn by Provost Smith. There will also
be thirty -six. degrees in various courses
Twelve hundred students will nur
ticipa ItTtlie exercises. They will meet
in the fojer of the Academy of Music
And preceded by th candidates for de
grees who will be clad in their caps und
gowns, will march upon the stage and
thence into the auditorium. They will
march by classes, the sppior ciass of
31)20 leading. The junior class of 1921
will follow! then the sophomore class of
1022'ttral the freshmau class of l'.)2Ti.
The' custom of observing Washing
ton's birthday as "University Day"
has annually been an event of' import
ance and messages of ital interest to
the nation have been made at these ex
ercises. It is believed Admiral Sims will
speak of matters of vital public interest
tomorrow.
Following the exercises, a luncheon
will be served in Houston Hall in honor
of the speaker of the duv and tho re
cipients oT fTie honorary degrees.
Prior to 1805, in which year Dr.
Charles. Harrison k-then the provost, con
ceived the idea of makiug this day one
of national importance, the da had
beec observed simply bv a readiug of
VaRhlngton' farewell uddress and the
Deeiaratlou of Independence.
President William McKlnley was the
orator and guest of the University in
1893 when University Day was "first
observed" on its present scale. His pres
ence was the; more dramatic for his ap
pearance preceded by only a few days
the beginning of the Spanish -American
War.
Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and
William Howard Taft have been Uni
versity Day 8peakei-H. Charles Evans
Hughes was the speaker in 1010 and he

While the committee hearing was in
progress counsel for the shipping board
Hppeared before Associate Justice Bailey
in the District Supreme Court to urge
that William Randolph Hearst, of New
York, on whose taxpayer petition a
temporary injunction against the sale
has been issued, should be placed under
So.OOO.OOO bond to cover possible losses
to the government due to the tying up of
the craft by legal proceedings,

Counsel for Mr. Hearst contended
that only nominal bond should be re
quested, ns board officials had told Con
gress all bids had been rejected and
that no sale would be made without
specific permission of Congress.
Mr Hearst sued, it was stated, not
tor nis personal gam, nut in the pub-
''' interest to prevent loss to the gov
ernment. Counsel added that a bond of
85,000,000 required of a single taxpayer
would prevent public-spirited persons in
future from applying to the courts in
similar cases.

"Pcrsona.i'- I am putting in most

'I would like the public to understand
that during January, Februury und

half payment, and we get the other
half after decent weather conies and
the streets are gotten in a condition
satisfactory to the diiector of public

There was a rumor this morning that
Isaac D. Hetzell, of the Eighteenth

Connelly's suit and swing over to

SPIRITUAL VISION
URGEO AS PANACEA
i
Rev. C. Calvert Carter Says
Seek Heavenly Help and
Stop Greed
ASSERTS IT'S A WORLD NEED
Profiteering would stop and greed
cease if men recognized their own weak
nesses and besought God for spiritual
wslon.
That was the theme of the Itcv. O.
Calvert Carter's Lenten tnlk at St.
Stephen's Church this noon.
"If there Is no desire. to ask for heln
jour religion is a sham," said Doctor
Carter. "Knowing your own deficien
cies ns jou do for your conscience tells
jou if you do not nsk for help, you
need expect none. The world, the
Church, tho community and the home
lack spiritual vision.
"If we could rea'ize that we repre
sent God as his actual sons, our busi
nesses would prosper and we would be
able to meet the great problems that
confront our nntiion today. Everv man
wou'd look to his brother's good and
profiteering would stop. Wo should
pray for this virtual vision."
Intorest in Church Reunion
Bishop Talbot, ot the service in the
Gnrrick Theatre, recommended that
people get i better acquaintance with
the personality of Christ.
"Never before was there a greater
interest in the reunion of the two or
three hundred camns into which the
church is divided. More and more there
grow,, the Interest in the personality
of Christ, and never before was it
stronger In the consciousness of human
ity. r
"Not because of any" greater interest
in theology, in doctrine or in systems.
but because of what He was.
"Get down on your kneos now and
then." the bishop recommended.
"Lincoln found time for daily study
of the personality of Christ and all the
great men that have meant anything to
us have found time to read the pictures
of His life and apply His teachings to
the contacts with their fcllowmcn."
Bishop Rbinelander was unable' to
talk at the znocesan Church of St.
Mary's, Broad und South streets, to
day, owing to nis detention at another
rn-yjee. jijs piaop was fiijcd by the
Rev, Samuel B. Booth, assistant clergy
man at that church. The Uev. Mr.
Booth made "prayer" the theme of his
talk, urging the congregation to deeper
"ml more frequent prayer.
nishojt Advise-, Mental Abstinenco
IJishop Rhinclauder advised mental
us well as phjsical abstinence in the
observance of Lent at the noon services
in Old Christ Church. Second andiMar-
iket streets, toda.
lie said ten minutes n day was
enough to devote to the newspaper dur
ing the Lenten period. "Taking the
opinions of the daily press," he said,
"their treutment of all great issues and
subjecti. is invuriubly out of propor
tion." He advocated complete abstinence
from the reading of lighter magazines,
periodical-! and novels, and recom
mended devoting the time usually spent
in that manner to history or biogra
phies of great men.
"Pleasures we must have," he said,
"but they nro hiirmful when legiti
mate pastimes arc illegitimately in
dulged. We should take the forty days
of Lent to begin the business of giving
up dangerous mental nud physical pas
times thut if overindulged prove dan
gerous." Man Badly Hurt by Fall on lee

HELP WAXTKn MAI.K
SALESMEN to call on confectionery and
.ilWlTtr
Iabor caucus is stormy
Ily the Associated Press ,
Washington, Feb. SIO. Union labor,
led by officers of tho American Federa
tion nf Labor ond the railroad brother
hoods, today had wctt tinder way Us
fight in Congress against that ndoption
of the redrafted organization bill,
A caucus of union leaders and pro
tnhnr cnnBressmen last night was al
most disrupted by charges that labor
was attempting to dictate to Congress,
Ttesldes the memorial prepared by
representatives of fifteen railroad unions
and federation officers nt nn uu-tiay
conference yesterday and which was
addressed to Congress' as a whoie. in
dividual congressmen were deluged to
day by letters and telegrams from union
leaders generally protesting against
enactment of tho bill into law.
The plan of the unions, it was shown,
provide first for n determined fight in
the House and Senate. If defeated
there the controversy will be taken
direct to President Wi'son in the hope
of n veto. Opposition of the unions, as
nt.nn.n In it. n mimn-lnl , IV PAI,l.rABU 1 1 0 .
suilvil iu lilt iiicuiuiiai ivi wuhi i-u nv.-
ciaring the bill to be destructive of tho
employes constitutional privilege, is
based chiefly upon the method proposed
for haudling wnge and labor disputes.
Attack Federal Guarantee
The nrovislon for n fixed financial
return to holders of railroad securities
also is attacked, the memorial holding
that the provisions wou'd constitute un
abandonment of government for the
I common good, .the establishment of gov
I eminent for private interest, special
privilege and class benefit."
Principal objection to the lanor arm
tralion clause is based upon the manner
in which the special arbitration boatds
would be constituted and the manner of
their operation. Union tenders contend
that the arbitration boards, including
the permanent federal board of uine
members, might be so composed ns to
eliminate labor from representation.
The method proposed of adjudicating
labor disputes by groups of not less than
100 employes, the lenders declared,
would "destroy all discipline and lead
to chaos," because it would encour
age the workers to disregard existing
agreements nud loug-estabiishcd orderly
methods of procedure.
"Financial Favors" Opposed
The union officials, us set forth in
the memorial, see in the bill "a deter
mination to annul existing agreements
nnd destroy tho organizations which ne
gotiated them," and voice strongly their
opposition to the provision that would
make ineligible for appointment to the,
labor board any person connected with
nc organization of employes.
The provision, they jpoint out, would
result in forcing men "long trained in
labor union work to relinquish associa
tions of muny years to accept such a
position."
Representative Barkley, Democrat, of
Kentucky, who with Representative
Sims, Democrnt, of Tennessee, is ex
pected to lead the fight against the
measure on the floor of the House, late
yesterday filed a statement on the rea
sons why he refused to approve the con
ference compromise bill. He ottacked
the measure ns conferring "financial fa
vors" on the carriers that would force
increased rates aggregating $1,250,
000,000 and add to the cost of living
generally.

Amendment of the Volstead prohibi

"Mv bill," said Minahan, "merely
