pany, but it was not at all similar to
| the one they mention."
I Complaint was made by the union

i tormen on trolley cars. do not dim

j proaching. This will be taken up with
jthe railways company. Complaints
| about holes in streets, particularly at
j intersections, were referred to Com-
J missioner Lynch, who said he would
i start repairs as soon as possible.
City Assessor James C. Thompson

; The cost of fche safe will be about
i $350.
Laying of a 6-inch water pipe in
j Manada and Lenox streets from Cona
I to Twentieth streets and in Tweutietli
j from Lenox to Manada streets was
I provided for in an ordinance presented
by Commissioner Lynch. Fire hydrants

Federal Board Will
Supervise Sale of
All Print Paper
Washington, March 20.—The Fed
eral Trade Commission plans to su
pervise the sale and distribution of
news print paper through a board
which will represent all Interests con
cerned.
The board, to be named as soon as a
price fixing pool proposed by the
manufacturers finally is arranged, will
comprise five members, one each from
the manufacturers, jobbers, large pub
lishers, small publishers and the trade
commission. The trade commission
representative will operate the pool
from offices in New York. Other mem
bers of the board will serve in an ad
visory capacity and their power will
be pin ©Jy ministerial.
Mfinufacturers who have been ac
cused of intimidating publishers into
remaining out of the price-fixing
agreement have, it- is understood, as
sured the commission that if there!
has been any intimidation, subordi- !
nates have been responsible and the
officers ol' the companies themselves
have not countenanced it.
Members of the trade commission
Jtwi. back from New York where they
u ;;ed on publishers the necessity for
strict economy in the use of news
irint, say the war situation threat
ens a new condition in whieh the
news print demand threatens to out
strip production. The balance has
I been extremely close for the last
year.

. H-AHttISBURO 'ifOfill TELEGRAPH
WILSON TO AVOW WAR
EXISTS WITH GERMANY
[Continued From First rage]
and French fleets to plean submarines
out of the shipping lanes.
Mind Not Made l T p
It was learned definitely before the
cabinet meeting that the President,
while considering deliberately all
phases of the situation, had not final
ly made up his mind on any forward
step beyond the active preparation of
the navy for any eventuality.
For the present. President Wilson
is taking the position that at all events
the nation must be placed In a better
state of preparedness because he be
lieves that from a practical stand
point Germany Is making war on thisr
country.
Members of the cabinet before the
meeting apparently were agreed that
every possible step to safeguard Amer
ican rights should be taken but were
not sure whether anything would be
gained by advancing the date of the
extra session of Congress.
While the situation now facing the
nation has been anticipated by the
President ever since the submarine
question between the United States
and Germany became acute, he is con
sidering it again now from all angles
because of the far-reaching questions
Involved in an active entrance of the
United States into the war. The Presi
dent is known to believe that the ob
jects he has in mind—the establish
ment of a league to preserve future
peace—has been set far forward by
j the revolution in Russia. The inur
j murlngs against autocracy in Germany
j are also being considered.
To Address Congress
No doubt now remains In the minds
of most officials that unless there is
some unlooked-for change before
Congress meets, the President will
open the extra session with an ad
dress making clear the new position
into which he feels the United States
has been forced by Germany's ruth
| less disregard of American rights.
He may discuss universal military
I training.
| The indications before the cabinet
, assembled were that there would be
no change in the situation before to
morrow, although it was possible- that
i discussion at the meeting might lead
j the President to act at once.
Administration officials believe the
| nation Is already virtually in a state
of war.with Germany and the only
question undecided is whether there
j shall be any immediate announce
ment of that statute through a new
call for Congress or otherwise.
Without waiting for the proclama
i tion President Wilson is expected to
issue to-day or to-morrow that a state
of war exists between the United
States and Germany, the government
| is preparing definitely for forceful ac
! tlon to clear trans-Atlantic stamship
lanes of German submarines and to
protect the coast. Sixty submarine
chasers, 110-foot speedy craft, were or
dered from the New York navy yard,
to be completed in about two months,
; and bids for 200 more will be opened
by the Navy Department to-morrow.
The Naval Academy was ordered to
graduate the senior class March 29 and
the junior class in September, so that
374 more junior officers may be avail
able speedily.
The President authorized expenditure
of the $115,000,000 emergency fund pro
vided by Congress to speed up con
struction of warships and suspended
the law limiting labor in plants doing
government work to eight hours a
day.
Navy officers prepared plans for call- :
ing out privately-owned motor boats
offered by their owners for patrol work
and for manning the two thousand
submarine chasers or patrol boats
which it is estimated will be ready for
action within four months. ,
Plan Scores of Chasers
The New Orleans navy yard to-dav
was ordered to buYld at once four
submarine, chasers. The New York
yard yesterday was ordered to build
slxt y.
The department has dalled upon all
navy yards fitted to undertake small
boat construction to submit estimates
as to the number of submarine chasers
they can turn out quickly.
It is possible that the construction
of 150 or 200 chasers may be provided
for in this way in addition to 200 or
more to be ordered to-morrow from
private builders.
The chasers are designed to do
thirty-five knots an hour and will be
equipped with triple propellers and a
fuel capacity for long cruising radius.

i COURT PROBE,"
AUDITOR GENERAL
Powell Says He Has No Fear
of Outcotae of Legisla
ture Inquiry
Senator Eyre, of West Chester, In
troduced a joint resolution in the Sen
ate to-day calling on the auditor gen
eral to furnish items in his accounts
that fail to balance, if any, not later
"than March 26. The resolution also
provides that the Auditor General fur
nish information as to the necessity
for extra clerks and expert account
ants at this time at a cost to the State
ot SIO,OOO, within six weeks of the
close of his administration. Inquiry
is to be made of the disposition of the
$25,000 appropriated to the depart
ment by the last Legislature for extra
clerk hire and extra work for the two
fiscal years beginning June 1, 1915.
The Kyre resolution also seeks infor
mation as to the necessity for the
$29,000 asked for to make up deficien
cies in this department. The resolu
tion was adopted. A motion by Sena
'tor Tompkins, seconded by Senator
Deiby, of Perry, to refer the resolu
tion to the committee on judiciary
general was defeated. The resolution
now goes to the House.
"Nothing to Fear"—Powell
Auditor General Powell said when
asked for a statement after the resolu
tion: "1 have nothing to fear. I court
the fullest investigation."
The Auditor General said*that he
had personally requested the resolu
tion be sent to the House for im
mediate action.
"Everybody I have employed has
been in accordance with an opinion of
the Attorney General and I have em
ployed no one for whom there has not
been provision made by appropriation.
It is true that outside accountants
have been assisting my office force in
going over my books but there has
been nothing unauthorized in their
employment."
. Then the Auditor General added:
"As for my books not balancing with
those of the' State Treasurer's De
partment it is up to the State Treas
urer to see that his books balance with
mine, not up to me to see that my
books balance with hie.-'
The Auditor General w6uld not say
anything about the'detectives reported
to be on the staff of his department.
When Senator Penrose was told
about the Eyr*{ resolution calling on
Powell to make a statement lie said:
"That is a tentative start."
The Senator declined to say any
thing about investigations, rumored or
prospective.
Council Has Insurance
and Garbage Survey Up
For Action Next Week
Council will have two big items up
for action next week—workmen's com
pensation insurance and the proposed
garbage and ash survey.
No action was taken to-day on
awarding the contract to insure city
employes. All risks are provided for
by a three.month contract with a stock
company. This expires April 1, and
at present Council is divided on the
question of continuing with a stock
company, insuring"in the State fund, or
carrying its own risk as last year. At
present the entire proposition is being
handled by City Solicitor Fox, pending
a possible settlement.
Commissioner E. Z. Gross said he will
probably submit some proposal to
Council in connection with an ash and
garbage survey, to open the question
for discussion.
Czar Was Not in Capitol
During Revolution
By Associated Press
Tokio, March 17. According to
information received here from Russia,
the Russian emperor was pn a traiu
outside of Petrograd when the revolu
tion took place. He sent General
Ivanoff into the capital to rally the
troops to the Imperial defense, but the
general found that the soldiers had
•gone over to the revolutionists and
that the emperor's cause was hope
less. It Is believed here that any grave
disorder in Russia is unlikely unless
the former emperor provokes civil
war in an effort to regain his throne.
The foreign office has been advised
that the revolution has removed any
danger of a separate peace between
Germany and Russia.

10 GERMANS GAIN
LIBERTY IN DASH
Police Capture Four Who
Tried to Escape From In
terned Teuton Ship
' By dissociated Press
Philadelphia, March 20.—The Phila
delphia detective bureau is responsible
for the statement that from three to
ten of the crews of the interned Ger
man cruisers Kr?>nprinz Wilhelin and
Prinz Kitel Freldrlch got away in the
dash for liberty last night in which
four sailors were captured. Nothing
can be learned from government offi
cials at the Philadelphia navy yard,
where the two ships aro interned, but
the detectives insist that Beveral men.
posibly ten, are at large. .They swam
a distance of 300 yards across a chan
nel to the shore.
The dash was made under cover of
darkness and when search was made at
daylight the police found an interest
ing collection of property! It included
ten life preservers marked with the in
itials of the two cruisers, three dis
carded uniforms and a dagger. They
also found civilian clothing enclosed in
oilskin bags und this, it is suspected,
was placed on the shore by accomplices
of the escaping men.
The police say that each of the men
captured had ton new $lO bills pinned
to his undershirt.
The attempted escape was discovered
by a sentry on duty near the interned
raiders. He immediately fired a warn
ing shot und detachments of marines
were hurried to all parts of the govern
ment reservation. Calls were sent to
the police authorities for assistance
and every police station was notified to
arrest all men found in wet clothing.
Meanwhile powerful searchlights
from the cruiser Salem were turned
upon the channel and revealed the fu
gitives swimming desperately for free
dom. Several shots were fired over
their heads and four of them turned
and swam back to the seawall, surren
dering without resistance. The other
three managed to reach the marshes
and were captured a few minutes later
by mounted police. More than JSOO in
United States currency was found on
two of the Germans captured by the
police.
Orders have been issued by the gov
ernment for the transfer of tlie 7GO men
comprising the crews of the interned
ships to Forts Og|ethorpe and McPher
son. The transfer is expected to take
place later in the week.

Little Comment on
New French Cabinet
By Associated Press
Paris, March 20.—The ministerial
crisis was so completely overshadowed
by other events that there has been
little comment on the new cabinet. It
was well enough received and lsu con
sidered adequate for the task( but
probably never before did a political
event of such importance leave tho
public so indifferent.
Alexander Itlbot, in setting up the
cabinet in forty-eight hours, is under
stood to have beaten all speed
and his task was not an easv one, for
the list changed many timesf before it
became permanent. Many persons ap
pointed by him refused, while others
accepted at first but later withdrew.
Premier Itibot asked ex-Premier
Briand to remain as foreign minister,
but M. Briand pointed out that, having
to deal with the Allies with the doublo
title of premfer and foreign minister,
he would not have the same weight
in diplomatic affairs with only the lat- '
ter title. He also thought that in view
of the hostility of certain groups it
would be preferable to keep him out •
of the combination.
