'DAY OFF A WEEK i
NEW PRISON PLAN
Policy Applies to Well-Behaved
First Offenders Sent to
House of Correction
TO DO WORK FOR CITY
One dav off a week for "first -offcii'.e"
prisoners wlioe conduct wnrrnnts it
Is part of a new plan to he established
nt the House of Correction.
First offenders convicted of misde
meanors will be sentenced for a icnr,
during which time they will be assigned
to work for thu city. It is predicted
that this plan will bcuellt the men
morally nnd physlcnlly, nnd nlso snve
the city many thousands of dollars an
nunlly. The new pollcj was conceived by Di
rector of Public Welfare Tustin.
Passage by the Legislature of the
Kdmouds bill authorizing judges of
Philadelphia Courts to sentence for one-
j par periods to the lloii'o of Correction
fit t offenders convicted of misde
meanors opened the way for the pro
posed constructive program.
Politics will not bo permitted to in
terfere in any way with the new plan,
as il Is provided in the net that no such
prisoner can be released except bv or
der of the Judge who committed him.
Director Tustin. in explaining the
new policy today, said ho planned to get
n good working force. When two or
three hundred men are avnilnhle the.
will be assigned to work which willdi
rcctly benefit the city. Some will be
sent to work lemovlng stone in the
(iinrries, others will be assigned to em
ployment in the gns works nud others
will do the repairs required on the build
ing from lime to time.
The first offenders will alsb hiive sep
arate quarters in order that there will
be no opportunity to become demora
lized through contact with older crim
inals. Director Tustin said :
'The Department of Public Welfare
proposes to employ the prisoners: con
fined in tho institution and to give them
the benefit of the out-of-doors; it pro
pores also to give to tho prisoners the
best medical treatment, so that the rav
ages of social diseases ma be lessened ;
it provides rclaxntion for I lie prison
ers and also grants one day on parole
for every week during which the pris
oner conduct himself proper).
"It is planned further to provide a
home for plisonei's in which they will
be placed for several weeks subsequent
to their discharge, during which time an
effort will be made to obtain suitable
employment for them."

ket Streets Blaze
GREASE POTS PROVIDE FUEL
IN TH0MMEN RESTAURANT
Four firemen were Injured ntv two
were overcome by ammonia fumes to
day In fighting a fire in Thoromon'snes
tnurant, Market street nbove Fifteenth,
In which It was necessary for the fire
meyi to put on gas masks to get at the
flames.
The fire at its heijlit involved five
houses on South Mole street., nt the rear
of tho restaurant, 1. .1, 5. 7 and I).
The occupants of nil five wcro nlded
to the street by firemen, who helped
them remove their hotifreholo: goods from
tho sweep of the flames. A steady light
rain added to the discomfort of the vic
tims of tho fire.
Tho Injured were:
Captain William Taylor, insurance
patrol, cuts and bruises.
William McNally, Engine Co. 1, over
come by ammonia.
Joseph Sherry. Engine Co. 1, over
como by ammonia.
John Weaver, Truck Co. 0 ; cuts and
bruises.
John Daly, Truck Co. 0; cuts and
bruises.
II. A. Turner. Truck Co. f); cuts
on face and body.
The fire wns discovered at 0 o'clock
this morning by the restaurant watch
man. It spread quickly to 1 and
.'1 Mole street, which communicate with
the restnurant and arc used as pnrt of
the kitchens.
Pots of grease on the stoves caught
fire nid the flames soon spread to the
restaurant building.
Ammonia Pipes Burst
At. the rear of the restaurant Is n
large tank of ammonia, used in the
refrigerating system. Fumes from burst
pipes spread quickly throughout the
placo. When tho firemen dashed in
with their lines of chemicals nnd high
pressure hose, they were driven back
by the rush of ammonia gas, which set
them to gasping nud sneezing.
Tho men were ready for this emer
gency, however, nnd though they were
forced to give ground nt first, returned
to the fight In a few minutes with gns
masks adjusted. In spite of the gas
masks two of the firemen, McNally and
Sherry, who hnd been in the lend, fell
In the thick fumca and smoke, and
their comrades carried them to the
street, whero they were revived by am
bulnnco surgeons.
The spread of the flames to the Mole
street houses caused great excitement
among tho residents there, who wcro
nwnkenwl by the. noise of tho engines
nnd the pounding of firemen on their
doors. Tho householders nnd their
families dressed hurriedly nnd went out
Into the rain, carrying what they could
with then. Firemen and patrolmen
helped them salvage tho more vnluublo
of their possessions.
At the height of the fire Captain
Tailor, in charge of the Insurance Pa
trol, climbed to the roof of f Molt
street, occupied by Charles Meighan, a
florist, who lives there and uses most
of tho building as a storehouse. Daly,
Weaver and Turner wore with him.
Captain Falls t Street
In the thick smoke which hung over
the roof the captain made n misstep und
fell crashing to the street.
A few moments later the roof caved
in nnd the other firemen wcro hurled
to the floor below, but all escaped with
only minor Injuries and soon were able
to resume their posts.
Tho fire tied up traffic on Mnrket
street for a time and attracted hun
dreds of spectators. The crowd he-
came so dense thnt a Inrge detail of
patrolmen was needed to keep tho spec
tators out of the firemen's way.
The fire was brought under control
by 7:.10 o'clock. Due to the efforts of
the firemen the flames were kept from
extending beyond No. ft Molo street,
nnd much of the restaurant was saved
from them. The loss, however, is be
lieved to b large.
The home at 13 Mole street is occu
pied by Pollen Sergeant Aleandr
Martin, who for months has been con
fined to his bed ns a result of inlurles
received in a strike riot ho helped to
quell. His wife and daughter called
for help and Mnrtln was carried to the
street nnd taken to the home of n
neighbor by fellow policemen.

ON PEACE TREATY
Hamilton Holt, N. Y. Editor, As
sails "Bitter-Enders" in Sen
ate at Meeting Hero
HARDING IS CHALLENGED
Hamilton Holt, editor of the Inde
pendent, New York, drew hot lire from
Samuel McCormlck. Chancellor of the
University of Pittsburgh, with his nr
rnlguinent of the Republican "bitter
endcra" nt the opening session this
morning of tho American Acndemy of
Political and Social Science.
Mr. Holt nssallod the partisan pro
vincialism of those who oppose Amer
ica's going int othe League'of Nations.
Chancellor MrCormlck, wlfo Is regis
tered ns representing tho Pittsburgh
Chamber of Commerce, as well ns the
University, declared that "the motives
of those members of the Senntc who op
posed entering the European organiza
tion were just ns lofty and pntriotlc ns
those who advocated it."
The topic for this, the twenty-fifth
nnuual meeting of the Academy, is "The
l'lnee of tho United States in a World
Organization for the Maintenance of
Pence." This morning's session wns to
have been purely historical of the work
of the existing league of Nations.
It soon reached the pitch of fervid
argument for and against, and Mr.
Holt challenged President Hnrding's in
ternational policy In this fashion :
"Iflr. nnfdlng is uriwrnlng 'to give
this country n League with teeth In it,
then the country must be nrganzied to
capture the control of the House nnd
Senate two yenr.s from now, nnd four
yenis hence, the presidency. The ques
tion of the League will not he settled in
the United States until it Is settled I
right."
This challenge brought long-continued
npplnue, nltliough earlier scattering
linnd-clnns had indicated some svin-
nii.li, n III. n unnri .-a , I w, rt.ftfinln ti.wl 1
much opposition to any further consid
eration of Article 10 ns a live issue. In
tills connection Henry Taft pronounced
Article 10 as beside the larger purpose
of the League, and said adequate pro
v son wns made in the other articles
for tho work to be done.
Chancellor McCormlck, the Inst to
join in open discussion this morning,
was vehement in his defense of tho Sen
ntc. Only once or twice did his voice
nrise above the normal tone, but ho
linmmered bard at the statement thnt
"Ihe United States dors not propose
to become involved in tho political
troubles of Europe."
It was after quoting from a letter
just received from Geneva, a letter
from a very high official on duty there,

POLES DENOUNCED

ALARMED AT SITUATION
By the Associated Press
liondnii, Mnv 13. Prime Minister
Llo.l George, in a drnmntie speech In
the House of Commons today concern
ing the Upper Silesinn Imbroglio, char
acterized the action of the Polish insur
rectionists ns n complete defiance of
the Treaty of Versailles.
"I think it Is right I should spi-nk
quite plainly," Mr. Lloyd George de
clared, "because if these things enn
happen nnd we take no notice nnd do
not ilea) with them with thnt stern jus
tice which lins characterized the atti
tude of this country in nil Its dealings
abroad, it is going to be fntal to the
peace of Europe. If that Is disturbed
I do not see what is going to happen
to Europe.
Alarmed ut Situation
"I am alarmed. 1 am frightened
thut unless some confidence Is restored
to the world the consequences inn.v be
of the most terrible ehnrnctcr, because
the whole industrial world is so built
up on credit and confidence that once
that is shaken I do not see how it can
be rebuilt. It, therefore. Is essential
in Hie interests of the nation that what
ever our prejudices nnd predilections,
whether we like (bis liinu or dislike
the ot'i'T, vie should iccogiue tbnt jus
tice lias nothing In do with likes or
dislikes t. nd thnt wo must decide fnirlv

Washington. Mny 33 A rut In rail
road wages amounting to :!() per cent ia
exported to come from the Itnilroad
Labor Hoard. The best-informed ex
pect this to be followed, in spite of the
toMinionv of Julius Kruttscbnitt before
the Interstate Commerce Committee of
the Semite. b a cut in rnilrond freight
rnte.
The cut in rallmad wages will bf
nrioptod b the railroad unions. It will
lead to a complete clean-up of tho wngo
situation loft b.v the war except in the
coal industr.v where the ngreement be
tween the workers nnd tho operators
ins nearly a .venr to run.
Organised labor. under Samuel
Gonipors' leadership, has elected toliavo
wages cut rather than to have the
unions broken by strikes, which would
lead to the abrogation f (C agree
ments it has witli employers und tho
establishment in ninny industries of tho
open shop.
The attitude of (lie present Admin-
-.i.."m .....inn ,.. fcii.ii.'ii uiiM.r. which
Is distinctly less favorable than thnt of
the Wilson Administration, has result
ed in the acceptance by the unions of
the lower wngo policv with the least
possible jnrs. There hnve been few ap
peals to Washington b.v the labor lead
ers. The packers' wngo problem came here
nnd wns settled by a cut in wage3 and
a preservation for the packing unions
of their national agreements. The rail
road wage question comes bore under tho
law which created the Itnilroad Labor
Hoard to adjust disputes between the
roads and their cmplovos. The ship
workers' strike tnkos ,, n nntloual as
pect becnusp the I'nited Slntes. as a
result of tho war. is the Inrgest ship
owner in the country nud consequently
the Shipping Hoard is involved
Administration Fights II. C. I
Itut in general labor has foit that 1t
could gain little by appeals to the Pre.
dent nnd the Secretary of Labor. Tho
policy of the Administration to reduce
p.-iccs is plain. The cost of living prices
must come down and witli them the rnte
of pay to producers.
In the belief of the Administration
railroad freight rotes are now the chief
remaining element in the cost of living
thnt remains to he cut before a situa
tion bns been cstiiblMiml which will
lead to n general business recovery In
Administration iicos there is little
svmpnthv with Mr. Kruttschtiitt's views
that railroad wages must be cut nnd
railroad rates loft where they are Vor
do nil railroad men agree with the
I'tiloii Pacific official. Many rnilrond
presidents say that railroad charges are
now iniposslblv high, both thoe on
freight and for passengers being, ah
the.v put it. out of the reach of the
public.
Shippers all over the country are
pressing for lower rates, especially ag
ricultural producers who point out that
il cijsik more to snip moir prouuetH
from the interior of thu eoun.ry than
from Argentine and other agricultural
nations lmving access to tho seaboard
liv water. There hnve already been re
iliu timis in some rales on products from
the interior in response to demands from
tlic shippers.
Cut in liail Hates Inevitable
Political considi rut ions make n cut
in inilrond rates Inevitable. The rail
r.-nds got their Iuf advance In rates on
the idea ihut wages had bfen advanced.
With wages nit one icnson for i he pres
' nt li mli railroad charges disappears
Another reason is that the cost of ma
terials is s,i diMipfKiiriug with the
fall in prices that is going on
