10 DEMOCRATS TURN PROHIBITION INTO PARTISAN PATH Burleson, Lobbying Against Bill, Summoned to Appear Before Senate Committee Washington, June 22.—Democratic Cabinet leaders and men high in party councils are making a real po litical issue out of the agitation for a dry nation during the war period. The issue which has been more or less a burning one since the House passed a bill prohibiting the manu facture of beer to conserve food, has been fanned into a partisan struggle, promising to benefit Republican can didates for Congress. Former Secretary of State Bryan came out for the bill in appearing before the Senate Committee on Agriculture, but recently has been quiescent since the belief became strong among Democratic candidates for Congress that the nassage of the bill would injure vnem politically. Those favoring a wet nation thought that the matter would be allowed to rest until after election, at least, be cause of the opposition of President Wilson and others. It came sharply to the fore yester day by the action of the Prohibition members of the Agriculture Commit tee insisting that Postmaster General Burleson, Secretary Daniels and E. N. Hurley, chairman of the United States Shipping Board, be requested to appear and give their views on the subject. It was asserted in the committee that Mr. Burleson had been lobbying and exerting his influences secretly against the bill and that it was only proper that he should give his opin ions to the country openly. Mr. Hurley has gone on record against the ban on beer, asserting that if the nation becomes beerless during the war it would interfere greatly with the efficiency of ship yards. He corttends that men now engaged at shipyards would not re main if they had their beer taken away from them. The same position is taken by Bainbridge Colby, of the Shipping Board. Representative Randall, of Califor nia, Prohibitionist, said in an inter view yesterday: "I received confirmation through confidential sources that high au thority in the Democratic party had planned to postpone at all hazards a war prohibition enactment until after the election. The party in pow er is threatened by the brewery and liquor interests in the large cities with the loss of the next House of Representatives if prohibition is en acted now.

Sub stitutes in equal quantities must be purchased with the flour. Bulm had no substitutes. An official of the food administration said that Buha stated he could prove by Tues day morning that his violation of the law . was through ignorance rather than intention. The fine for the offense is $5,000 or two years in jail, or both. Buha is a former citizen of Aus tria-Hungary. He claims to have taken out his first naturalization papers.

As a re sult the supply will be purchased from the United Ice and Coal Com pany. Last year the coal was bought direct from the mines and the direc tors arranged with local dealers to have it hauled from cars to the school buildings. Alterations to the present office building to increase the administra tion rooms will be started soon it was announced. Secretary D. D. Hammelbaugh was authorized to get bids for the work. In addition to the rooms now in use the large hall on the second floor formerly used for the Teachers Training School classes will be altered. The training school will be in the Steele building next year. The frame dwellinghouse on the Stroh property in North Sixth street, purchased recently by the board, was sold to Arthur R. Rupley. It will be removed in the near future and the tract wiH then be utilized for a school playground. Repairs in many of the buildings were author ized although many items on the de tailed list were eliminated. Harry DeWire, of Milton, was elected as a teacher of English at the Technical High school, and Miss Florence Atherton, of Chambers burg, was elected as a teacher of French at Central. Othter teachers elected for the elementary grades were: Annie G. Clouser, M. Cloe Haller, Grace P. Reinert, Sarah Pratt, Cath erine Lewis, Georgia Potter, Helen Johnston, Florence Rinkenbach. City's Men Not in War to Wield Hoe in Country This Summer An opportunity for all men not shouldering a musket or in some other form wearing the insignia of the United States Government, for carry ing a hoe will be presented by the One Day Farm Emergency Corps of the United States Public Service Re serve, Pennsylvania Division. Pennsylvania is the first common wealth in the United States to obtain emergency service for agricultural work by asking the vacation time or one day a week from all those in the state who can possibly spare the time and are capable of serving on farms. Approximately one-third of the men in this city have had some experience in agricultural work in their youth; many others are willing to volunteer their services in spare time in this emergency for agricultural labor. They will be paid the market pric<\ and under the direction of the County Farm Manager will be furnished transportation to the farm, and from the farm to the city. The signature of volunteers will be obtained through the services of the Boy Scouts of America. The agreement of employers to release the employe is just as es sential as the man himself. To win the war quickly all must do their part to the best of their ability. If you cannot carry a gun, carry a hoe. Miners Asked to Lose No Time From Work In order that there may be no time lost by miners, the department of the draft, quota from the mining region Monday has been postponed from 9.43 until evening, at the re quest of Fuel Administrator Garfield. The fuel administrator urged that that at this crisis f>ach day's output of anthracite is so vital that arrange ments have been made for the min ers to leave after the day's work in order that any farewell celebra tion to make their departure can be postponed until the day's work is fin ished. The telegram from the National Fuel Administration says in part: "It. is to be hoped that you vino are left behind in the mining industry will fall to the task before you with added energy of purpose and will make up, so far as possible, for the loss of labor which the war has forc ed upon your industry. The slogan 'Coal will win the war' is no empty phrase but a grim reality which places you in the forefront of the soldiers of the industrial armv. The efficiency of the nation depends upon your patriotism and fidelity. That you realize the trust and will fuj. (11l it 1 am assured."

Dice Gives Rise to Rumors; Is Now Corporate Head The retirement of E. T. Stotesbury from the presidency of the Reading Company and the election of Agnew T. Dice, president, acquires signif icance in view of the information which was had simultaneously in higher financial quarters in New York to the effect that there is a plan worked out on paper for a cor porate separation of the coal and railway properties now owned by the Reading Company. It is said that the plan awaits the return of At torney J. Reynolds, vice-president of the First National Bank of New York, who is now in California. A few days ago the United States Supreme Court agreed that there should be a second reargument of the Reading case. The idea seems to be that before next October, when such new argument is scheduled to take place, the whole matter can be worked out on a basis to make it unnecessary for the government to urge further the contention in which it has had no success so far, a basis also satisfactory to the owner of the Reading properties. Dloe IK Corporate Head President Dice has been in the position of corporate head of the Philadelphia and Reading since the appointment of Charles H. Kwing as federal manager of that system. The limitation of President Dice's duties to corporate matters made possible his assumption of like obligations as executive head of the holding com pany. Alfred H. Smith, regional railroad director of the northeastern section of the country, resigned as director of both the holding and railway com panies, in pursuance of an order by Director General McAdoo that he sever connections with any railroad board of directors in which he still retained membership. William K. Vqnderbilt, Jr.. succeeded to the di rectorate. Mr. Smith, as president of the New York Central lines, had represented that road's holdings in the Reading Company. William L. Kinter, assistant gen eral solicitor of the Reading Com pany. also resigned from the board of directors of each company. His place on the Reading Company was taken by President Dice and on the Phil adelphia and Reading by C. E. Dilkes, Jr.. tax agent of the road. Charles Heebner, general solicitor of the company, was appointed to a new position as general counsel. RAII.ROADER MOVES H. T.

The American forces northwest of Chateau Thierry yesterday further straightened their line by a series of small but brll | liantly-executed attacks on the north : side of Belleau wood, j American artillery at midnight | Thursday night poured an avalanche j of projectiles into the wood to the I east of Chateau Thierry, where aerial had showed there was a ! host of German troops and much enemy material. The enemy un- I doubtedly was severely punished, j The American fire reached the j highest concentration in a ten-minute i period, when 1,200 shells of all cali ' bers fell on one small area. Later j the American gunners concentrated I their fire on the town of Brasles, where many of the enemy were as sembled and which was th e scene of recent captures of prisoners by our patrols. Aerial observations yester day showed the extreme accuracy of our fire, but, of course, the exact ef fect is unknown. The American troops rushed the desired positions held by the enemy in Belleau wood without the custom ary artillery preparation. The Ger | mans for the most part took a few j shots and then retired. One enemy | post held its ground and was quick ! ly annihilated. J To the east of Belleau wood a thin j line of American skirmishers ad vanced, firing as they went, and ob- I tained their objectives without diffl j culty. All the operations were car- I ried out as planned. As a result the American positions have been strengthened, and we are better able to withstand an assault when it comes. U. B.

PAXTANG PARK THEATER Vaudeville Specialties. The park bill for the week is one of the best vaudeville shows this sea son. The headline, Maes- I'lixlnnt tro and Company, pre- I'ark sent a juggling and ac- I'lienter robatic act that is the one original novelty in tltis line that the stage has produced in several seasons. The other acts on the park bill are selected from the better class of vaudeville attractions. Next week the park theater man agement will offer musical comedy in stead of vaudeville at their park play house. The tirst attraction under the new policy will be a musical comedy entitled "The Bachelor Dinner," with A. Seymour Brown, the well-known song writer and comedian, in the lead ing role. Mr, Brown will have the support of a capable company and chorus. The present bill at the Majestic Theater, which contains plenty of good laughs, and which At the will complete its stay to- Majestic night, will be followed next week by "Pretty Baby," the splendid tabloid musical comedy show that has the distinction of holding the Majestic Theater rec ord. "Pretty Baby" played a week at the Majestic last winter, and at tracted larger crowds than any other attraction that Wilmcr and Vincent have sent to the Walnut street vaude ville theater. There are twenty-tive people in the cast of this musical com edy, eighteen of them pretty girls, who make frequent changes of cos tume and keep a lively tire of song and dance running through the piece. Splendid comedians till the leading roles. It is believed that the Majestic will again next week be the scene i*f those huge crowds, for "Pretty Baby*' has lost none of its charm. Mae Allison, the popular Metro star, will be seen at the Colonial Theater to-day only in "The Win- At the ning of Beatrice." story Colonial of a girl who started out In the commercial world as a candymaker and how she made good. It's a corking good story, and May Allison, as the star, is as sweet as the sweets she makes. Monday and Tuesday Madge Ken nedy and Tom Moore wil be seen in their best Goldwyn picture, "The Fair Pretender," a splendid comedy drama of love and adventure. Also the sec ond Goldwyn comedy, "Billy's Pre dicament," will be on the same pro gram. To-day the Regent Theater presents for the last time "A Modern Lorelei." Tyrone Power is at his "A Modern best in this wonderful I.orelel"nt spectacular production, the Regent Romance and heart in terest make it grip and hold. "A Modern Lorelei" is a genu ine novelty, showing the myriad bird and animal life of the sea and its lonely islands, together with a grip ping story of love and adventure sur rounded by that indescribable atmos phere that Is a't once pleasing and yet awe-inspiring. Monday only Henry B. Walthall appears in "The Birth of a Man." This is unquestionably one of the most powerful photoplay dramas ever re leased. The story of "The Firebrand." showing the last time to-day at the At the Victoria Victoria, is based upon the Russian revolution. Into the chaos of this revolu tion. however, is woven one of Screenland's prettiest romances. Miss Pearson, who takes the part of a countess, is being wooed by the son of a Russian count. The countess, however, does not care for the count's son. Instead, she falls in love with an American painter, who has gone to Russia to study art. He not only plays the part of an artist with the pigments, but in his style of present ing his part. In the end the story leads back to why the American went to Russia. Then . well words can't describe it. But everyone who saw it yesterday realized the picture is a marvel.
