Receiver Is Asked For Boston and Maine R. R. By Associated Press Boston, Mass., Aug. 23. Pending conferences among the numerous inter ests effected no immediate action was expected to-day in consequence of the j petition for a receiver for the Boston and Maine Railroad Company, which ] filed in the Federal Court yester it was pointed out that if some form , of reorganization could be agreed upon J before August 31, when $13,500,000 of the road s notes come due, it would be possible for the directors to reconsider the decision yesterday that it would be i inexpedient to attempt further renewal of the notes. No hope that a plan which would meet the wishes of all th» leased lines could be evolved was ex- I pected, however. , The next formal step will be the fll inp: or the railroad's answer to the re ceivership petition, which was made by the intercontinental Rubber Com pany of New Jersey, a creditor to the -extent of $51,000. The directors declin ed to Rive any intimation as to the probable nature of this answer.

I HARRISBUJIG TELEGRAPH Tells of Being Caught in Ice While Going to Relief of Macmillan Expedition By Associated Press New York, Aug. 23.—Jerome Allen of Maqoketa, lowa, a member of the Hovey Arctic Expedition, which met with misfortune on its way to the re lief of the MacMillan exploration party, has arrived here from Copen hagen, with details of the expedition's failure. The MacMillan party was in search of Peary's "Crocker land," re ported by subsequent explorers to have been a mirage instead of land. Dr. E. O. Hovey and his party left New York in July, 1915, on the power schooner George B. Cluett. equipped by the American Museum of Natural History. They were caught In the Ice early last Winter near Cape York, off the northerly coast of Greenland, through an accident to the vessel's machinery. Mr. Allen, Dr. Hovey and others in the party then started on a 1,300 mile dog sled journey across in Greenland in January to get aid, but Dr. Hovey caught a severe cold after traveling about sixty miles and had to return to the ship. After two months hard traveling, Mr. Allen said, the sled party reached Egedesminde, a Danish settlement. Here they took a steam ship for Denmark. Subsequently the steamship Denmark was dispatched to relieve those remaining on the Cluett, all of whom were well, Mr. Allen said, when he left. Will Organize Officers* Reserve Corps After Close of Camp at Plattsburg By Associated Press Plattsburg, N. Y„ Aug. 23.—One of the first steps toward organizing an officers" reserve corps of the United States Army, under the provisions of the new army bill, will be taken here at the end of the present training camp for civilians. Copies of the army order giving the plan of organization have been received and arrangements are being made for the examinations which several hundred Plattsburg graduates are expected to take. Major General Leonard Wood has urged the members of the two train ing regiments to submit to these ex aminations and expressed the hope that this is only the beginning of a avswm of compulsory military train ing. The regimental commanders are preparing to instruct applicants for admission to the reserve corps in ad dition to the training ordinarily re ceived in this camp. The law creat ing the reserve corps provides that any citizen, other than officers of the regular army or of the militia, is eligible for a command in the reserve. I PENROSE ASSAILT REVENUE BILL Declares Democrats Wildly Extravagant; Offers Resolution Washington. Aug. 23. Senator Penrose, as ranking minority member of the finance committee, offered in the Senate yesterday a resolution to recommit the revenue bill to the com mittee. His resolution, which follows the lines o fthe motion to recommit the bill in the House, made by Repre sentative Fordney, of Michigan, ranking Republican on the ways and means committee, follows: "Resolved, That H. R. 16763 be re committed to the committee on fin ance, with instructions to amend the bill so as to raise p.n equitable portion of the required revenue from a pro tective tariff sufficient to protect ade quately American industry and Amer ican labor, and to be so adjusted as to prevent undue actions by monopolies or trusts; and "With further instructions to the committee on finance to give special attention to securing the industrial in dependence of the United States, to the end that our industries can be so or ganized that they will become not only a commercial bulwark, but a powerful aid to national defense; and "That the bill be further amended so to require the tariff commission to report the difference in wages and the cost of production between for eign countries and the United States." $200,000,000 Wasteful Appropriations In his speech yesterday Senator Penrose said: "No amount of ingenious reasoning will alter the fact that, outside of pre paredness, there is at least $200,000,- 000 of wasteful appropriations in ex penditure in the present Congress. That condition of the Treasury will absolutely necessitate the withhold ing of contracts for battleships and delay the whole scheme tit prepared ness. "The amount appropriated in the Sixty-third Congress was $100,000,000 in excess of that of any other Con gress in the history of the govern ment, and when the country realizes what this Congress has done it will be simply dumfoundea. "I say this carnival in lavish ex penditures will reach nearly $2,000,- 000,000, when we take account of $25,000,000 for the Danish islands, the amount of $60,000,000 which the gov- AUGUST 23, 1916 ernment will probably have to re fund as a result of the 5 per centum rebate allowed on importations Look Out for Imitations.
