14 /NO TRESPASSERS PENNSY ORDERS] May Create Barred Zones in k This City Similar to I Those at Altoona In line with action of the police department at Altoona, it Is prob able that orders will be shortly is sued providing for barred zones on -Pennsylvania railroad property in this city and vicinity. Itoferring to the Altoona restrictions Paul R. Barclay, captain of police of the Philadelphia division, said: "A long time ago restrictions were placed on outsiders #vho cannot visit Pennsylvania Railroad properly without authority. Everybody who asks permission to visit the local shops and yards are given close ex amination. While the work here Is not as important as that at Altoona, local conditions require close watch ing, and everything possible is be ing done to keep suspicious out- J slders from getting on railroad prop ' erty. Officers Are Active "We have a goodly number of of ficers on duty day and night, and trespassers have been very few. The yards are given special attention at night and all empty boxcars exam ined hourly. officers are on the mo\ J e at all times. Watchmen at the gates prevent any person from get ting inside unless they have permis- j sion. I said, there may not be any special reason just now to create a ' barred zone in this city and at finola | and Marysvllle, but I believe it I would lie a good thing if restrictions ! would be made stronger. 1 think the Bethlehem Steel Company has the right idea in tagging all employes. There should lie some means for recognizing employes at a glance."

I II U KMJ.A V KY ft N INC?. PRESIDENT DOES NOT KNOW TRUTH fContinued from First Page.] $$ Ww m m mm > .;■ m Kprocw SEKATOK CHAMBKBX.AI>* Q/v ++*eo/f*sr* fire and declaring that tlic Presi dent does not know the truth. Senator Chamberlain declared he would show that the deaths of the hundreds and thousands of men at cantonments and camps were dtie to the War Department iml 'that all epidemics could have been pre vented if the War Department had been effective." Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the Military Committee rose to a question of personal privilege in the Senate to-day arid replied *o Presi dent Wilson's recent statement charging that the Senator in a speech at New York advocating gov ernment war reorganization a.nd de claring inefficiency existed in all branches of the government, had made "an astonishing and absolutely unjustifiable distortion of the truth." No Personal Feeling' Senator Chamberlain said the President had attacked bom his veracity and integrity, lisratofore unchallenged, but that in replying ho did so without any personal feel ing against the President. "Per twenty-four years," Senator Chamberlain said "I have served 'he public in my state to "he ln-st of my -ability and in all that time I have never had my veracity cal'ed in question nor my Integrity im peached, and I have passed through some bitter campaigns. It is, there fore with some feeling of humilia tion and also sadness that I rise to a question of personal privilege when my veracity has been called jn ques tion, not by an ordinary citizen, not by one of my colleagues, but by a very distinguished gentleman, who ha.i the love and admiration of the! people and who by their suffragel occupies the highest place in the; gift of the people, and I may say the highest of any man in the world. Involve Country's Future ''These personal charges against me amount to nothing to che Amer ican people but affect policies which may involve the future of this country, if not the entire world." Senator Chamberlain said he as sumed responsibility for his speech I before the National Security league' in New York. lie had read io thej Senate a verbatim report of it. Upon his return to Washington, j Senator Chamberlain said, he re ceived a letter from President Wil son containing a quotation taken I from the New York World end asking if the question was' correct. The President wrote that he did not like to comment on i the statements until he knew posi tively that the Senator and actualy! made them. Asked Wilson to Read Speech The letter was received too lata for a reply Sunday, Senator Chamber lain continued, but in a letter sent to the White House the following day he replied that he had been quoted substantially correctly in the World, but asked the President to read the entire speech as printed in The Times instead of only part of it. Senator Chamberlain's letter added that he was discussing only the pol icy "or lack of policy" of the mili tary establishment. After stating his experience In the Military Affairs Committee and testimony in the committee's investigations, the Sen ator's letter continued: "I believe T know something about the deficiencies in the mili tary establishments, deficiencies which aro clearly recognized and proven * * in a system that ought to be remodeled for the proper prosecution of the war • * * {ln< j have these disjointed and tinco-0.-di nated defects weeded out." In his letter the Senator also of fered to go over the whole situation with the President, but said he re ceived no reply and on the following day the President's statement criti cising him was published. The President's statement and Senator Chamberlain's reply then were read to the Senate, and the Oregon Senator observed. "I do not know if any reply to my letter was necessary. I assume that statement is the answer." "The statement of the President challenges me, of course, for proof of the statement in the New York Times, to which statement I adhere and repeat before this bUiJy. "The people of this country may not see this as I do but as "chair man of the Military Affairs Com mit tee. as an American -citizen rnd a member of this distinguished bo<'v, I felt that I should say the things that are in me and if T succeed in making a.rift in the clouds through which the American people see I will feci my efforts have not been in vain." Senator Chamberlain repeated he had not distorted the truth in his speech made in New York, but that owing to the great rush of business due. to the war the President has probably not been able to ascertain the truth and does not know the truth. From the lips of those closest to the President, the Chief Execu tive cannot learn the truth, not be cause his advisers desire to mislead him, but because they are" situated in the same position as Ue is. "France, bled white," he continued "is furnishing America to-day and the troops going abroad with "heavy ordnance, machine guns and air planes. If we relied on the ordnance department in this emergency (and this Is a war of artillery), the war would be completed before we ever got enough to the front." It was improper, he said, to give details of American purchases of ordnance from the allies, but refer red Senators to the confidential testimony before the committee by 1 Major General CroX'.er, chief of ord nance. "If the administration had wanted ! to be fair to the American people," he shouted, "why didn't the dis tingulshed Secretary of War, and I have the highest regard for him, let the people know, so that the peo ple could assist in getting ready for this terrible calamity that confronts not only America, but the whole world?" Senator Chamberlain charged that I the ordnance bureau failed in 1916 | to prepare for war when it seemed j certain. "This isn't a question of person | alities," he said. "This is not a I question between the President and J myself. It's a question of America land every man ought to make it his | whole purpose to see that America is \ saved." He denounced the cry that j investigation gives information to the enemy. , "Germany knows more about America to-day than the men con nected with the departments," Sena tor Chamberlain declared. "If the I government would be frank with the : people, then we could rely upon the : people to rally to the support of the j President and to the prosecution of I the war," he added, i After criticising delays in the se | lection of gun types, he said: Should Know Facts "Why shouldn't America know these things?" Some people in the ' West, he said, believe America has i all its needs. "if they only knew the actual conditions." he continued, "they would give their lives, their all, to protect America. Casual reading of the Secretary of War's statement gives the impression that we had everything. But when we get the testimony of the men on the ground, different information is obtained." True of Every Camp Citing the testimony of an Army officer from Camp Bowie, Texas, who I doclared there was not a single trench mortar there, and that other necessary equipment was lacking, [ Senator Chamberlain declared: "That is true of every camp in the United States." Turning to the Quartermaster Gen eral's Department. Senator Chamber lain declared that from Secretary Baker's general statement the coun try would believe that "everything was lovely and the goose huijg high, *o far as clothing is concerned." "But when you talk to the men that command these boys you And it isn't there," he continued. "On a per capita basis it is there, hut when it comes to effective dis tribution they simply haven't got the ! clothing. Senator Chamberlain said he pro posed to show by Secretary Baker's own testimony that the Secretary did not know of actual clothing condi tions. "That's why* 1 say," he continued, "that the President didn't know the truth. And 1 did. He must have gotten his facts from the Secretary, who in turn got them from somebody cl.se, and somebody must have lied. And that's why I say the President has not been given the truth." Advancing to the center of the aisle. Senator Chamberlain shouted: "I feel it my duty to my country and my conscience to tell the truth. I have no fear of God, man or the devil when my conscience prompts. And no man in this country can Ueep me from telling the truth. The only fear I have is that this discus sion may have a bad effect on the country. But if the conditions exist they ought to be corrected and quickly. Great Britain found the .same conditions and corrected them, quickly. So did France." Senator Chamherlatn passed around among Senators photographs ot wooden machine guns, rifles and heavy ordnance use at cantonments and asked Senators to study them carefully. "They ore of some use," he ex plained, "In training men. But if I had a boy training for the battlefield 1 would want him to have his train ing with nothing else than a wooden cannon." Allies Saw Mistake England and France, he said, saw the mistake of having army men control the ordnance department. "You must go to men who have done these things to get results," he said, "and Congress should face this without fear of any man, but with due regard for the distinguished commander-in-chief." The commander at Camp Sher man, Ohio, told him there was a shortuge of 7,000 overcoats there. He referred that statement to Sec retary Baker. "In his usual placid way, he said, 'that's not true,' " remarked the Senator. Senator Chamberlain then read from a leter from Secretary Baker, saying a later report showed 7,000 overcoats were neded at Camp Sher man, but that they "were In course of shipment." "That's the way ever since the war started, —in course' but not getting there," he shouted. "Then placing in the record a chart submitted to the Military Committee by Secretary Baker, showing shortages of material at all camps varying from one to ninety per cent., Mr. Chamberlain declared he wished that condition to become known to the people. "I w ant it shown whether I dis torted the truth when I said the mil itary system had broken down," said he. Reading from the table to show shortages of overcoats running as high as 75 per cent., the Senator re minded the Senate the troops were "in the midst of winter." War Department Responsible "I am going to show that these hundreds and thousands of men dy ing in the cantonments are due to the war department/ he declared. "This information comes right from the men who are on the ground. I They kno wwhat they are talking about. I didn't intend to do this, but in view of the situation that con fronts me and involves my Integrity, I feel it is my duty to the country. I "I am going to call attention to the statement of Surgeon General Gorgas that nearly all epidemics i could have been prevented if the i War Department had been effec tive." Senator Chamberlain referred to | the warnings given by Major Gen eral Greble, commander at Camp Bowie, Texas, last summer against overcrowding men in tents. Packed I like Sardines Men at Camp Bowie, the Senator declared, were "packed together like sardines," and despite frequent warn ings disastrous epidemics broke out in December with 8,000 men passing through the hospitals. "Men died," he asserted, "without proper nursing because of ineffi ciencies of the system. All the can tonments are areteries of informa tion and I hope to God that every young man will write his father or mother and tell them just what the conditions are. not to stay patriotism, hut to stimulate those in authority to do their duty." Report Shows Overcrowding General Gorgas' report, he con tinued showed overcrowding in vir tually every camp, and he asserted that the Surgeon General, of eminent reputation, had not been consulted regarding cantonment localities. Senator Chamberlain read pub lished reports of camp conditions, shoylng lack of winter clothing, overcrowding and prevalence of the measles, and Interrupted to refer to Secretary Baker's statement to the HARRJSBURG TELEGRAPH committee that "everything was allj right at these cantonments." Senator Chamberlain said if Sur geon General Gorgas' recommenda tions for greater space had been I observed, disease at least would i have been reduced. "If these are the conditions exist- ( ing with soldiers in their home coun-i try, what must be the fate of the boys sent to Europe to meet the dangerous and treacherous condi tions of war fare," he said. Senator Chamberlain read a letter ; showing that camp authorities fail-! Ed to notify a family of the death I of a soldier and that the body came j home wrapped only in a sheet, letters Would SlnM'k Congress "If I were to print all the letters' I get along this line," he continued, "they would shock not only Congress but the American conscience. I do it only to show the country that there is inefficiency and I'm going to do it if It costs me my political life. Let the American mothers know and they will see to it that public servants either do their duty or retire from public life in dis grace. "J want to arouse the country antl every mother and father to write to the President of the United States and appeal not in a spirit of revenge, but in order that the example of a beloved son, brother or a husband ma> arouse the country to save the lives of our soldleHs." The Chamberlain re-organization bill, on motion of Senator Hitch cock. was referred to the military committee without objection. Been use leaders desired to prevent further debate, the Senate adjourned until Monday. Roosevelt Accep Head of G. 0. P. Washington, Jan. 2 4.—The Re publicans have a leader and he is Theodore Roosevelt. Two days of conference between Colonel Roose velt and important leaders in Con gress have, in the opinion of observ ers, served to demonstrate this be yond serious question. Tt is the one outstanding feature in the interest ing situation that has been brought about by the extraordinary develop ments of the last few daya. If the enthusiastic comments of some of the men who have attended these conferences, men who fought Colonel Roosevelt in the past, are any criterion. Colonel Roosevelt's counsel In the critical days the country appears to be lacing is to be a controlling one with the Republicans In Congress, and his voice is to be more potent than at any time since the split occurred six years ago. With remarkable unani mity these leaders, from what was said to-day, appear to have accepted Colonel Roosevelt's guidance and party plans are being shaped accord ingly. 78 Men Entombed When Explosion Drives Cage to Surface and Wrecks Mine By Associated Cress Halifax, X. S.. .lan. 24. —Seventy- eight men, alive or dead, are en tombed in the Allan shafts near New Glasgow, where a territlc explosion occurred late yesterday afternoon. Out of the ninety-eight men believed to have been in the mine, only nine escaped front a higher level. Kleven bodies have teen recovered. Little hope is entertained that any of the seventy-eight men will be rescued alive. The n.ne who were rescued were on the 100-foot level and did -not hear the explosion, but. warned by smoke, they ran for the cage. Joseph Lahey, a Belgian who was found at the bottom of th'e shaft, was kept alive oy a pulmotor but died soon after being brought to the surface. The violence of the explosion blew the cage up the huge shaft and drove mine timbers 200 feet along the levels. Deaths and Funerals MRS. CATHERINE C. HINEY Funeral services for Mrs. Cath erine C.

Time after time since the beginning of the war Major Lufbery has fought suc cessfully against superior numbers and he Is now credited with bring ing down fifteen enemy airplanes officially, and a number of his vic tims who fell within their own lines have not been counted In the total. As a reward for his extreme dar ing he now wears the Cross of the Legion of Honor, the French mili tary medal, the Cross of War and the British military medal. And the little town of Walling ford, Conn., hitherto unknown In the geography of war events, is planning a royal welcome to Major Lufbery when he returns from Paris, for, in a letter to his father recently, he promised to return in a few weeks for a visit. Wallingford is not only proud of the aviator because he placed Its name on the map, but because lie has acknowledged it as his home town, the one place in all his globe trotting career which he has called by that name. It was in this little town he learned his first trade, that of a metal artificer. He stuck to this trade for two years, "the long est time he's ever spent at any one work or business," as his father re marked. Was Born in France Young Lufbery speaks with a de cided French accent, although his father is English.

The fa ther will not state definitely where the lad was born, as It seems the now famous aviator evaded military duty and he fears he may be called by the head of the little municipal ity.

For almost a year he re mained in Algiers, then left for Tun is, later for Egypt, thence to Con stantinople and Rumania and final ly to Fulda, Germany, where he worked in a brewery. Thence he embarked to South Africa on a Ger man steamship. The family in the little Connecti cut town heard nothing from him after he left Germany until finally he showed up at home. He stayed here for two years, working at making casket trimmings. This work lacked the spice of adventure he was used to and he started for Cuba, but at New Orleans he enlist ed in the United States Army and was sent to the Philippines. After eighteen months' service he was dis charged and he struck out for China and Japan. Lefters to his father showed him a little later to be in Constantinople, where he was work ing in a restaurant.

HICKOK SAYS Situation Here Is Better Than It Was One Week a ß° J£ The coal shortage was declared by RO>KS A. Hickok, fuel administrator, this morning, to be slightly better than last week, although the ship ments of anthracite coal into the city yesterday were disappointing to the fuel administrator. Twelve cars of anthracite, or about 640 tons, ar rived over the Pennsylvania lines yesterday. About eighteen crs of bituminous coal arrived at the same time, Mr. Hickok said. it was announced this morning that tlie Reading Coal arct Iron Company had discovered Harrisburg again. Six cars of anthracite were sent to dealers in the Hill district yesterday. These few cars, dealers declared, will bo swallowed uj> be fore the day Is over in hundreds of orders already taken. While eighteen cars of anthracite a day is not enough to prevent con siderable dtecomfort in the city, danger of fuel famine has passed for the time, dealers say. Their offices are still besieged by more orders for coal than they can possibly care for, and there is still suffering in some portions of the city. Mr. Hickok said this morninff. that while he had made the an nouncement yesterday that the sit uation was better, still conditions were by no means normal, and the shortage will continue for awhll*. Up to the Reading Mr. Hickok said this morning tliat the shipments over the PennsyVva | nla during the last few days hp.ve J represented a fair tonnage and will I prevent acute suffering. If tlie Rfad i ing Coal and Iron Company furnishes a dozen cars a day, Hill dealers will be taken care of, and danger of a famine will be passed. The Fuel Investigating Bureau, at the Chamber of Commerce office, is the barometer of the coal situation in Harrisbur. With the arrival of better coal shipments the last three days than has been received in the past, the number of calls received at [that office has been only half as ntfcny lus previously. Only fifteen were re ! oeived until noon to-day. During the worst part of the shortage, as high as 400 were received in a day. Opinions among officials of large Harrisburg utilities companies in the city, regarding the benefit, de rived Irom the five-day closing* or der differed to-day. It was said at the Central Iron and Steel Company that the end of the five days did not find them any better supplied with coal than before. They received a few cars of bituminous, they said, but not any more than was consumed in their blast furnaces and in keep ing their pipes hot. C. M. Kaltwasser, general manager of the Harrisburg Light and Power Company, said that his heating plant did not receive any large amount of fuel diverted during the live-day period. The situation at the power plant Is improved, he said. it is understood that an amount of bituminous coal was diverted from original consignees for the benefit of the Harrisburg Railways Company, to relieve their shortage of bituminous.
