Asks Congress to Empower Fi

$500,000,000 Securities
RAIL ADMINISTRATION
COULD USE PROCEEDS
'president's Message Declares

rier3 wunoui now ..-..
Washington, July 20. (By A. P.)
rreWcnt Harding. In n special mes
,c to Congress todny, nsked it to ex
tend the authority of the Wnr Finance
Corporation to pnrchnse securities,
probably up to $500,000,000, now In
the bond1? of the railroad administra
tion, so that the proceeds may bo used
jor settlements with the railroads.
"This, the President told Confess,
wild 'open the way to "curly adjust
meat and relief" of the railroad' prob
"lm. Thero was nqthought, ho said,
tt asking Congress for additional
n'oney.
' Hallway claims, bnscd on the "inoffl
fiency of labor" during the war, the
President said, were to bo waived for
th? present to Imsten settlement with
out surrender of any rights in court.
Although the railways owe the Govern
ment largo sums, the President said,
the Government also owed the railroads
large sums on various accounts.
No Added Tax Burden
'No added expense," (-aid the Presi
dent, explaining his request, "no added
investment is required on the part of
the Government ; there is no added lin
llllty, no added tnx burden." (
"It is merely the grant of authority
Stcevary to cribble a most useful nnd
efficient Government agency to use its
available funds to purchase securities
for which CongrCKs already has author
ized the issue, and turn them into chan
nels of finance ready to flout them.
"The contract covering operation pro
vided that the railways should be re
turned to their owners In ns good con-
ldltlon ns wTicn taken over by the Gov-
irnment. nnd the Transportation Act,
recognizing that betterments and addi
tions belong to capital account, pro
vided that such t.tims as the railway
eompanics owed the Government for
betterments nnd new equipment, added
during the period of Government oper
ation, might Lo refunded.
Calls Funding Justice
"There lies been at no time any ques
tion about the justlco of funding such
Indebtedness to the Government. In
deed, It line been in progress to n
"measurable degree ever since the return
of the railroads to their owners.
"It hns been limitel, however, to
well cases, ns those in which final settle
(Wents with the railway administration
Lave been effected. The process is ad
mittedly too slow to meet the difficult
dtuatlon which the owners of the rail
roads hnvo been taring, ami I believe It
essential to restore railway activities
ttid csnentinl to the country s good
fortune to hasten both funding and
lettlement.
"Quito apart from the largo sums
owing to the Government, which we
ire morally and legally bound to fund,
the Government admittedly owes the
railway companies large sums on vari
ous accounts, such as compensation,
depreciation and maintenance.
"The way now would seem to be clear
to very enrly adjustment nnd relief, ex
tent for the fact that the railway ml
nlnlstratinn, though possessing assets,
does not command the funds necessary
to meet what will be its admitted ob
ligations. $500,000,000 May bo Needed
. 'There Is no thought to ask Congress
for ndditional funds. Perhaps $."00,
000.000 will ho necessary. The railroad
administration has, or will have in the
Progress of funding, ample securities
to meet itll requirements If Congress
jaiy will grant the authority to negoti
ate these securities nnd provide the

PEMUL HOSPITAL
Board of Managers Announce
Reconstruction of Buildings ,
According to Modern Ideas
ONE OF OLDEST IN U. S.
The Pennsylvania Hospital, nt Klghth
and Spruce streets, the oldest and one
of the largest in Philadelphia, is to bo
rebuilt, it was announced today by the
Board of Manogcrs.
The cost of the rebuilding planned by
the Board hns not been estimated. It
Is expected to reach a large figure, how
ever. Daniel I. Test, superintendent
of tho institution, nnd n widely known
authority on hospitals, is working on
the new plans In conjunction with Dr.
F. F. C.oldwater, a famous snnltnrinn
and former Health Commissioner of
New York. . , ,
The rhnnges nnd improvements plan
ned bv Mr. Test nnd the board will nil
be effected on the Spruce street side of
the hospital. The institution covers a
full cltv block, being hounded by Sprure,
Pine Klghth and Ninth streets. Tho
Pine street side, the oldest building in
the group, nnd one of the most beau
tiful pieces of Colonial orchiteeture In
the Aly, will be allowed to stand ns at
prcent. ,
The northern section of the hospital
was built In comparatively recent times.
It will be torn down, however, lo mnkc
room for the most modern possible hos
pital buildings. It has been decided to
tear down the present buildings rnther
than erect new ones outside tho hos
pital square for rcnsons of ecopomy of
upkeep and convenience.
The new buildings In contemplation
are a nurses' home, which it is hoped
to build this yenr. an out-patient build
ing, a private patient building, a serv
ice building and additions to the heating
plant, laundry and laboratory.
The. Pennsylvania Hospital wns built
In 17.r.1. nnd Is the oldest voluntnry
hospital in the I'nited States. Some
ot the most fnmoiis of Philadelphia's
physicians imve been connected with it
from time to time, either ns residents
in their youth, or ns start physicians
in their maturity.
"A suggestion that carried with it
the tearing down of any present build
ings," said Mr. Test in telling of his
plans, "may nt first seem radical nnd
ill-advised.
"But the question is one worthy of
serious consideration. The line of least
resistance would be to make inexpen
sive alterations to present buildings and
to place nil new units outshlo of the
hospital square. This, however, would
lay upon future generations such a
burden of inconvenience and overhead
ns would place a heavy responsibility
upon, us. The plan of the Hoard is to
nvold unsatisfactory and haphazard re
sults by developing comprehensive plans
which will meet not only the present,
but also the future needs of the hos
pital." JOIN PROTEST AGAINST PARK

"Thnt it is beyond the scope of tho

300 Clamor for Job of
"Watching the Scotch"
Offers for n special I'nited Stntes
Deputy Marshal to take charge of
the seized Pocrtninke brought more
than three hundred applicants todny.
Although the job pays- onlj ?." a
dny. there were mnny npplicnnti
who appeared to spend more than
thnt a minute. Some of them, who
ndmitted being vacationists nt the
big hotels, professed their willing
ness to pny the Government V' a
dny for the privilege of watching the
ship.
Somehow the word got out that
there were sundry bottles of Scotch
concenled In the lockers which cs
enped the fnte of the cases, snid to
have been thrown overboard.
Deputy Mnrshnl Osrowltz asked
ior n sober man and nil the nppli
cants insisted ibnt they did not
drink Scotch beciusc they can't get
It.
Itv a Staff Corrrnimndrnt
Atlantic City, July 2(1. One mem
ber of th- crew of the l-ooze boat Pocj
inoke is snid to have "squealed." and
the captain and his giant Ne.-;ro body
guard, "Blggj'' Hobertson. are threat
ening to do the same thing.
Both the lntter nnnouneed in loud
tones today that the were sore and did
not care much who knew It.
The Pocomoke wns fnrinnlly seized
just after duybunk this morning by
Deputt Marshal Osrowitz. He came
aboard and nailed a notice to tne fore
mast wlpeb rend :
"This boat has' been formally seizeil
by virtuo of n monition."
"Monition" Is a summons or citation
to nnienr and answer in default of per
forming some cert. lin net.
Thp mnrshal also ordered all hands
nsho-e at the same lime. "All hands"
nt the moment Included Captain Boy.
! Bolcrtson und Kenneth White, u Negro
seaman.
With the order to Innd the firework
began. "Biircy" rose to cn-cuirc bis

"Blgsy" Threatens to Tel:
"Thoy better send me home." he
said. "Ah'm sick o this thins. Ef they
don' take good care of me Ah'iu goln'
to tell some folks some things aroun'
here."
Captain Hot wis just ns nngry, but
his- ir seemed directed nt whoever the
"they" are thnt be so constantly re
fers to.
He came up out of his enbln nbout
11 o'clock, nattilv dressed in a gray
coat and white- flannel trousers. He
was clean-shaven nnd extra highly pol
lbhed for the first time since Ills ship
hns landed.
He walked forward as soon as he
,eame up from bis cabin and looked nt ,
the sign tacked on bis foremast. He
half smiled nnd turned to it group, of
newspaper men and said:
"I i nn go to , I guess."
lie then looked nt the c.ustoms men
nbi-ond r'le vessel with the marshal nnd
his aides, and snid :
"I've gotta lot of company this
morning, I see."
He was told that he would have to'
leave the ship at once.
"I hnte to leave the old boat," he
said, with a touch of real sadness In
his voice, "but if you won't let mo
stay I guess 1'fl have to go." But I'll
have to wait for a i-crtaln party before
I go awaj ."
"Who's the certain party, cuptnln,"
he was asked.
"I won't tell now. but if they don't
show up I'll tell mnre'u they think.
I'll tell nil: who was on the ship, who
