Hines, chairman of the executive committee of the Santa Fe. Issued a statement to-day attacking President Wilson's plan and character izing It as preposterous. He declared the President apparently had made up his own mind without a hearing "as to the concessions he will force • the employers to give to buy off labor j from its illegal course." Considering Eight-Hour Day Railway heads probably had for their guidance information on the ad ministration's attitude toward legis lation or other governmental action looking toward recompensing them for a possible concession of the eight-hour basic day. A definite statement of this attitude. It is believed, was the object sought by a committee of three railway presi dents who called on Mr. Wilson at the White House ogain last evening fol lowing a conference during the day between the President and Senator Newlands and Representative Adam son, chairmen of the congressional committees having in charge Interstate commerce legislation. Many Possible Courses Courses which might be taken by Congress affecting directly the present railway situation. It was pointed out, are these: Direct the Interstate Commerce Commission by resolution to investi gate the entire subject of the relations between railroads and their employes. Pass the pending bill to lncreaes the commission's membership from seven to nine in anticipation of additional duties to be Imposed. Enact a measure compelling arbi tration of future disputes similar to that pending. Establish the eight-hour day prin ciple by legislation. Pass measures clearing the way for government ownership of railroads. The first two proposals were receiv ing most serious consideration. It was said.

German Ship Interned Since Start of War Leaves Boston For New London By Associated Press Boston, Mass., Aug. 24.—The North German Lloyd liner Willehad, which has been in refuge since the outbreak of tho war, slipped out of the harbor early to-day, presumably for New Lon don, Conn., for which port she ob tained clearance papers last night. Officials of the line asserted the change was made to reduce docking charges and denied reports that there was any connection between the Willehad's movements and the expected arrival of the German merchant submarine Bremen. The Willehad went out under the flag of the German merchant marine, the first time it had been carried out of Boston harbor since the war began. She was without consort. Her crew, a full complement, in command of Captain Jachens, had been augmented by additions from the several other ships of the line here. The Willehad departed in the early hours as cheers rang out from the decks of other refugee vessels. Just Out of Drydock Captain J. J. Hartllng, the pilot who took the steamer out of the harbor, said she was bound for New London and would make the passage through the Cape Cod canal. Those aboard, he said, acted as If they were on a routine trip and professed to know of no special service to be rendered at her destination. After the pilot left the vessel, Captain Jachens headed the "Willehad for the canal. Off Plym outh harbor she was met by a tug which had been waiting there and which accompanied her to the canal entrance at Sagamore. At the rate of progress up to that point, it was esti mated the steamer would arrive at Now London about 5 o'clock this after noon. The Willehad, a cargo steamer of 4,761 tons, was the smallest of the refugee ships at this port. She had come out of a drydock only yesterday and had been supplied with coal, ice find provisions. Notwithstanding the two years of inactivity since the vessel sought shelter at this port, her engines were in fine condition and her crew W»ll drilled, according to Pilot Hart ling.

FATHER OF TWO ADOPTED GIRLS [Continued From First Page] Morrison's property, which has been variously estiniated at from $3,000,000 to $8,000,000. One of the contentions was that Morrison had adopted the two girls to prevent the city of Chi cago from receiving the estate, which, under the will of his father, was to be used for educational purposes if Mor rison died childless. Morrison is alleged to have given away to certain friends more than $2,000,000 of his estate, during the past seven years. One of the transactions concerned was the transfer to James Ward, his attorney, of the property on which the Hotel Morrison now stands. It is de clared to be worth more than $2,00,- 000. Property valued at $500,000 was given to tho lawyer unconditionally. The transfer was made shortly after judgment had been obtained against Morrison.

Vou cannot get fat until your digestiv® tract assimilates the food you eat. There is a preparation known to re liable druggists almost everywhere which seemingly embodies the missing elements needed by the digestive organs to help them convert food into rich, fat laden blood. This modern treatment ia called Sargol and has been termed the greatest of flesh-builders. Sargol aims through regenerative, re-constructive powers to coax the stomach and in testines to literally soak up the faten ing elements of your food and pass them into the blood, where they are carried to the starved, broken-down, cells and tissues of your bodv. You can readily picture what result this amaz ing transformation should produce as with increased weight the cheeks nil out, hollows about neck, shoulders and bust disappear and from 10 to 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh is added to the body. Sargol is absolutely harmless, inexpensive, efficient. G. A. Gorgas and other leading druggists of this vi cinity have it and wul refund your money if you are not satisfied, as per the guarantee found in every package. NOTE:—Sargol is recommended only as a flesh builder and while excellent results in cases of nervous indigestion, etc., have been reported care should bo taken about using it unless a gain of weight is desired. —Advertisement. TRAPS BURGLAR, LOSES HIM [Continued Froui First Page] lockup by Officer liarrod. Meekly enough he went along until the lockup was reached. Here, while the officer awaited the return of a messenger whom he had sent for a key to the Jail door, a crowd of boys gathered. Escapes From Officer As the crowd pushed nearer the un manacled burglar twisted loose from, the officer, sprang through the groui> of children and dashed down Walnut street. Close upon his heels the star tled officer followed. As the fleeing negro dashed down Second street the constable drew his revolver and fired a shot. The negro dodged and began to run a zigzag course, turning up Swatara street, While the pursuit lasted the officer fired six shots. When the negro had rounded a few more corners he lost his pursuers and made good his escape. During the struggle at the store Mr. Gault received many bruises, his fellow-clerks say. which necessitated his going home for the remainder of the morning. Theoretical Spy Scare Is Thrown Into Navy During War Maneuvers in Ocean By Associated Press Washington, Aug. 24. —The Navy Department had a spy scare to-day. It was entirely theoretical, however, and was based on the tear that in formation concerning the location of Rear Admiral Helm's "blue" fleet de fending the Atlantic coast against a. tactical assault by Admiral Mayo's "red" fleet, which might reach the in vaders by wireless from foreign mer chant ships clearing from Amerlcaj* ports. This information it was pointed out. might be gathered by "foreign agents" from incoming ships, which had sighted the "blue" fleet, and given to outgoing vessels for transmission after the three-mile neutrality limit was passed. It was considered entirely probable that officers of the invading fleet before the war game actually started did not overlook the oppor tunity to establish an espionage sys tem similar to that with which Amer ican authorities might have to cope in time of real war. % For this reason details of the "blue" fleet's tactics were guarded at the Navy Department as carefully as if the natibn's safety actually were in volved. Even the chances of leaks within the department were admitted as theoretically possible, although officers expressed confidence in all persons who are in position to know Admiral Helm's whereabouts. Considering the location of the in vading fleet when first reported and the speed of the vessels which went out to meet It, an encounter might have occurred yesterday. As soon as such a meeting does happen, an nouncement will be made by the Navy Department, unless for some reason, the disclosure would be o£ aid to th® hostile forces.""
