peace note, testified at the "leak" in- 1
quiry to-day that his profits on the
market between December 10 and Do-!
cember 23, were $476,168.
Every cent of this profit, he de- j
clared, was due to his foresight in in
terpreting speeches by Von Bethmann-
Hollweg and David Lloyd George as
meaning peace was coming.
Not a single transaction he made, he
said, was influenced by advance infor
mation that the President was about
-to dispatch a peace note. He receiv

added that he had no secret sources
of information in Washington on
which he based any of his stock oper
ations.

Literacy Test Again
Causes President to
Veto Immigration Bill
i Washington, Jan. 30. President
Wilson yesterday vetoed the Immigra
tion hill passed recently by Congress
because or its literacy test provision.
Owing to the congested condition
of the legislative calendar in Congress,
it is regarded as unlikely that both
houses will bo able to take the time
necessary to pass the bill over the
executive veto. Supporters of the
i measure, however, claim a clear two-
I thirds majority in both houses.
| The bill which the president vetoed
i passed the house last March by a vote
lof 308 to 87, and the Senate in De
cember, by 64 to 7.
It was the second" time that Presi
dent Wilson has vetoed an immigra
tion bill because of the literacy test,
and for the same reason similar meas
ures were vetoed by President Taft
and Cleveland.
\A hen President Wilson's message
was read in the house it was ordered
to lie on the table until Thursday
morning, and champions of the bill
began laying their plans for an effort
to override the veto.

HOW SUSQUEHANNA IS JAMMED FROM CITY TO SAFE HARBOR |
'
i:
While the Susquehanna river is jammed with ice from near the Cove, north of the citv. to Safe Harbor
and beyond, downstream, there is no immediate danger from ice jams and possible flood, believes Ralph II
Hosmer, State Flood Forecaster in the Water Supply Commission offices. Telegraph Building.
.' " e , water Supply Commission employed an expert to travel the banks or the river from this citv to Safe
! „Z. ?,' - i ~ in ® Photographs of the river conditions along the way. The pictures all show the ice to be jammed
\er> thickly at all points along the stream. No big gorges exist, however.
In many places the cakes are standing on edge for miles at a stretch, and immense quantities of ice arc
lying between Harrisburg and the bay
E. I*. Demain, the local forecaster, this morning said the real snow months are yet to come. February is

ARCHITECT OF
UNBIASED IDEAS
TO DRAW PLANS
Comfort Station Specifications
Will Re Made by Man With
out Fixed Opinion
COUNCIL TO RATIFY
.First Will Study Conditions,
Then if Plans Are Unsatis-'
factory, Out They Go
! That the architect who is selected
jto draw plans for the footwalk in
j Market Square and public comfort
i station, will be one who has not
j lormed an opinion as to just how
these improvements shall be made,
was the statement made by City Com
missioner William H. Lynch, who has
been authority by council to carry out
preliminary plans for the work.
"When the plans are completed
they will be submitted to council and
the City Planning Commission for re
jection or acceptance," Commissioner
Lynch continued. *'l intend to have
council approve my selection of an
architect, also. It is my intention to
pick a man who hasn't a set idea
about these improvements. What we
want is an architect who will study
traffic conditions and the needs of the
city before making any suggestions.
"Then, if the plans he decides upon
are not satisfactory council and the
Planning Commission will be the ones
to reject them. So far nothing de
| finite had been done about this lm
■ provement and my only reason for
submitting an ordinance authorizing
the employment of an architect, was
ito get. definite plans drawn and pre
j sented so that action can be taken."
In speaking or traffic conditions in
Market Square, Commissioner Lynch
! declared lhat should the Valley Rail
ways Company build a terminal in
Walnut stredt, much of the congestion
in the Square, and at Second and Wal-
I not streets, will be overcome, leaving
more room for automobiles.
"I have heard that the Valley Rail
ways Company may erect a terminal
in Walnut street, but know nothing
officially about it. If the company
I should make this improvement it will
ibe a big help and will aid in reliev
ing traffic congestion in the Square,"
j Commissioner Lynch said.

Sproul Resolution
For Probe of State
Affairs Laid Over
The Sproul resolution for a probe of
government in Pennsylvania was to
day postponed until Monday by the
State Senate, which will adjourn for
j the week late this afternoon.
' The motion for postponement was
made by the sponsor for the bill, who
denied that it was because he did not
have the voles to pass it. It is under
stood that the postponement was the
result of an agreement, us some sen
ators desij-ed to be away, while others
were hopeful of something occurring
which would relieve the tense sit
uation.
The resolution will be on third read
ing on Monday night. The plan was
to pass it in the Senate to-dqy and
send it to the House.
Philadelphia Newspapers
Forced to Raise Price
Philadelphia, Jan. 30.—The Phila
delphia newspapers have increased
their price to 2 cents, owing to the
increased cost of paper and the limi
tations placed on the supply of news
print paper by the manufacturers.
Last week the city had four 2-cent
morning papers and three 1-cent even
ing papers. To-day every paper in
the city sells for 2 cents.
In announcing the change in price
the newspapers explain the enormous
increase in the cost of paper, which
for a single newspaper, for example,
means an added expenditure of
$250,000 a year, and for eight papers
in Philadelphia would mean, provided
j they use the same quality of paper as
last year, an increased expenditure of
upward of $2,000,000, while the cost
of many other materials needed for
publishing a newspaper have advanced
from 20 to 400 per cent.

MONUMENT IS PLANNED
Governor Authorized to Name
Commission of Seven to

A bill to appropriate $25,000 for
the purchiise of part of the site of his
toric Camp Curtin for a State park
within this city was introduced in the
Senate by President pro tem EJ. Z3.
Beidleman. This project was urged
by Governor Brumbaugh in his mes
sage to the Legislature, the Governor
having visited the upper part of this
city and studied the situation in re
gard to the tract occupied by the
great mobilization camp of the Civil
War.
The Beidleman bill recites that a

I German Food Supply For
Spring yery Scanty Is
Indicated by Batocki
Amsterdam, via London, .Tnn. 30.
According to the Berlin Vorwaerts.
Adolph Batocki, president of the food
regulation board, clearly indicated in
a recent speech that the German food
supply for the spring was very scanty
and would require the most careful
distribution and economical use. Cal
culating potatoes in the value of
wheat, he said that for the current
year there were 2,000,000 tons less of
both available for animal and human
consumption than there was last year
and that, owing to the prohibition of
wheat for aninial feeding this would
greatly diminish the yield of animal
products. Even turnips cannot now
be used for animal fodder.
Herr Batocki pointed out that im
ports from neutrals were a slender
factor in the situation and that the
assets gained in Rumania, while valu
able, could improve conditions only
gradually owing to transport difficul
ties. He defended the system of dis
tribution of foodstuffs with the re
mark: "The scarcer the total quantity
of supplies the more necessary is a
system of management."
House Takes Up Revenue
Bill of $402,000,000 With
Prospect of Early Vote

day. Democratic Leader Kitchin in
charge of the measure announced that
he hoped the House would close de
bate and vote late
The debate was "opened by Mr.
Kitchtn in a long speech in which he
put the responsibility for the necessity
of new revenue legislation squarely
upon "preparedness" and upon the
Democrats and Republicans alike.
"Every dollar of the tax of last year's
bill and in this pending bill was made
necessary," he told the House, "by
your votes for the marvelous, tre
mendous increase in army, navv and
fortification acts, which the friends of
those increases euphoniously called
preparedness. You Democrats and
Republicans alike are responsible tof
the necessity of some additional
rpvenue legislation." Ml-. Kitchin ex
plained the features of the new
measure.

French Continue Efforts
to Expel Germans From
Hill 304 at Verdun
The region of Hill SO4 northwest
of Verdun was the only one in the
European war field in which activity
of note developed during the last 24
hours so far as to-day's official reports
from the German ana French war
offices reveal.
Berlin's statement indicates that
tho French are continuing their at
tempts to regain the ground recently
lost there, which the German accounts
declare have been fruitless. Last
night's efforts were as unproductive
as those preceding them, it is de
clared, the crown prince's troops re

PATTERSON NOT JAILED
Fraternity Brothers Pay Judgment
Sum Pending Receipt of Check
Dispatches from Binghamton, N. Y.,
to the effect that W. Kenneth Patter
son, 208 South Thirteenth street, this
city, had been arrested and placed in
jail for failure to pay a $2 93 damage
judgment against him, were not
founded upon fact, it was learned to
day.
Patterson was not jailed, as the
dispatches said, for his fraternity
brothers at Cornell University fur
nished the money to cover the judg
ment pending the receipt of a check
from his father here. Patterson was
detained in the sheriff's office until the
money was raised by the "frat" men
and then released. As soon as word
was received here of the affair, Patter
son's father sent him a check to covei
'the damage judgment.
