It is the soldiers will be placed on duty at Rockville, and on the Cum berland Valley railroad bridge. While Captain of Police Paul L. Barclay, of the Philadelphia division, Pennsylvania railroad, admitted that soldiers would be assigned to duty on all bridges, he was not in a posi tion to say what companies would be placed on duty in Harrisburg and vicinity. Captain Barclay said it would require more than a regiment to take care of the Philadelphia divi sion, property. In addition to the soldiers there will be 250 special railroad officers on guard at shops, stations and railroad terminals. Of this number 115 will be regular men now on duty. The new men are being detailed from shop employes, clerical forces and other departments. The mj|n will be select ed according to their ability. Lucknow shops will furniah 50 men. The men will be assigned to special duty between Marysville and Fifty second street, Philadelphia. They will be provided with quarters. Where it is possible the shops will be used as barracks. At some points commissary and sleeping cars will be located. The cots and equipment provided some time ago when a' strike was feared will be used in the barracks and at stations. In addition to this extra police force a regiment of soldiers will be assign ed to duty on the Philadelphia divi sion. Reports to-day said the First regiment would be sent as guards for Pennsylvania railroad property. Tl.is Is not official. Captain Barclay was of the opinion that soldiers outside of Pennsylvania would do guard duty here. BRIDGE GUARD EXCHANGES SHOTS WITH THREE MEN Early this morning one of the watchmen on the Cumberland Valley bridge was shot at by three men whom he had accosted for loitering under the bridge at Island Park. The guard ex changed shots with them and sent for a detachment of police who scoured the Island but could discover no one. The guard noticed three men loiter ing and acting suspiciously near the base of one of the piers. He accosted thein and demanded to know their business. Te reply was a single shot out of the dark that sent a bullet Hy ing periously close to his head. The guard immediately opened tire on the already tleeing men but was unable to stop them. Rusli Police From City He then hurried to the tower and phoned for aid. Another man was sent to his assistance and an appeal made to the locul police department. A spe cial detachment of police and plain clothes men were sent to investigate the case but could discover no one. Crossed in Boat It is believed that the men landed In a boat and made good their escape by the same method. No suspicious looking men were noticed passing the tollgates at either end of the bridge. A special detachment of the rail road police are investigating the case to-day. The bridge has been guarded night and day for some weeks. Armed guards will be Increased to prevent a reoccurrence of last night's shooting bout. As one of the guards said to day, "the next time some one tries a similar stunt we will have some tangible evidence, living or dead for you to work on." CRIES FOR PEACE AND WAR RESOUND IN WASHINGTON By Associated Prtss .Washington, April 2.—Pacifists and anti-pacifist pilgrims besieged official Washington to-day in an eleventh hour effort to Influence Congress to ward their respective views of impend ing war with Germany. Street parad ing was denied both by police orders, but the program of each called for un organized sidewalk processions to the capitol, where Senators and Repre sentatives might be canvassed for their peace or war ideas. Simultaneously thousands of tele grams from all parts of the country poured in upon the Capitol and White Mouse either praying for peace or urg ing drastic action to uphold American rights and honor. Flags floated from nearly every win dow In downtown Washington, from houses in the residential sections and all automobiles carried red, white and blue banners. Men and women wore flags on their coats and children car ried them to school. The day was marked by a show of patriotic fervor seldom equaled in Washington, even on Independence Day. Pacifists Meet Most pacifists came here from New York and other cities under the direc tion of the Emergency Peace Federa tion. They arranged a meeting this afternoon to act on resolutions and petitions and a mass meeting for to night. The anti-pacifists, calling themselves "pilgrims of patriotism," came from a number of Eastern cities, marshalled by a New York citizen's committee' to neutralize the effect of the anti-war forces. The delegations of pacifists as sembled at headquarters of the Emerg ency Peace Federation and were fur nished with white arm bands bearing in large black letters the inscription "Keep Out ot War." They were supplied also with cards to admit them to the business and mass meetings and the city addresses of their Senators and Representatives. The delegates were instructed to spend the morning calling upon thelr legisla tive representatives and urging them to take no actlpn that would lead to hostilities. Militants Active Anti-pacifists said they too would be at trie Capitol whenever the pacifists planned to be there. They had instruc tions similar to those at the pacifists and long before tne time set for the opening of Congress the telephone bells of Senators and Representatives in their homes and at their offices were tinkling with calls from both fac tions. Louis P. Lockner was directing the activities of the pacifists. "If we should fail to prevent war," he said, "we will continue to work for peace just as certain people on land have done all during this war in Europe." David Starr Jordan, president of Ice land Stanford University and one of * the leading pacifists, made an effort to see President Wilson this morning but the President was busy. About 1,000 of the pacifists assemb led on the steps of the main entrance at the Capitol and became so active that sequads of police drove them to . the broad plaza while small delega tions of the pilgrims jeered and hoot ed. The pacifists shouted replies and there was no mistaking foreign ac counts in the words of some of the shouters. There were a few clashes between the two parties but nothing In the nature of serious fighting or dis order. Pacifists Arc Unruly Some of those in the crowd persist ed in breaking through the police llneg and mounting the steps. Police re serves were called and the pacifists were forced back a considerable dis tance on the plaza. Then some of them began to leave. One or two were seen to remove their arm bands and "we want peace—Pennsylvania" sashes and stuff them In their pocket? before departing. Four or five hun dred, however, remained. The police in the Capittol grounds kept all per sons wearing pacifist Insignia on the move. Delegations of pacifists held "war protest" meetings in their respective senator's offices. One such delegation was rebuked by Senator Wadsworth when one of several speakers said America had been a "false friend" to Germany. "That's calling my country a pretty harsh name; 1 don't care to hear any more of It." asfd Wadsworth In ter minating the Interview. Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, Indig nant over arguments of an Ohio paci fist delegation visiting him, told them: "You are the beat allies the kaiser has." 5
