GOVERNOR .ELECT SPEAKS Senator Beidleman Principal • Speaker at Noon Luncheon In a rousing patriotic address at an informal luncheon of the Univer sity Club to-day, Senator Edward E. Beidleman, lieutenant-govornor-elect, said that Pennsylvania Americans have done more to bring about a successful conclusion of the war than any other state of the Union. Sena tor Beidleman stated that one-eighth of the entire American Army, that made defeat to Germany possible, was composed of Pennsylvanians. Sixteen per cent, of all the money in the country necessary to win the war was furnished by Pennsylvania, and that of all the munitions manu i factured in the United States, Penn sylvania had manufactured over forty per cent. The Senator stated that he felt he could say some things at this time which might be misconstrued before election, and he then added that in" the rehabilitation of the world, and in the reconstruction per iod that will affect this country, Pennsylvania is fortunate in having chosen for its next governor William C. Sproul. He then showed how the new governor-elect's broad experi ence as*a legislator and man of af falrswill place him in a position to guide the state through the re construction period to follow. Truth must be our guiding principle in the future of our political relations at i home as well as abroad, this was Senator Beidleman's message.

He urged that it was a duty and privi lege to so sift out the truth. After cheers had been given for Mr. Beidleman, and the singing of America, the meeting disbanded. TO STUDY CITY'S NEEDS .

ASH COLLECTION CONTRACT TO BE LET BY COUNCIL New Rules Provide For More Frequent Collections in Winter Directing the bureau of ash and garbage inspection to prepare speci fications at once, to be approved by Council, and then advertise for bids for the removal of ashes, rubbish and refuse from the city during 1919, city commissioners took action! to-day looking toward another con- ' tract for waste removal for next year. An ordinance authorizing the inspection bureau to make arrange ments at once and get bids, was in troduced by Commissioner S. F. Hassler and passed first reading. At the same time Commissioner Hassler subniittod an ordinance pro- | viding all necessary regulations for collections of ushes. A conference of the members of Council will be! held before the ordinance Is passed on first reading. If approved in its present form it will make a number of changes In the present collection system, providing removal of ashes once a week in winter months and twice a month in summer, from apartment houses, and semi-monthly from all other places all year. It is also hoped to have daily collections from hotels, restaurants and office buildings. Ashes and refuse are not removed from these places under the present agreement which ends December 31. Commissioner Hassler explained that to carry out the provisions of the ordinance a larger appropriation may be needed, as the bids will be high. No estimate of the probable amount which muy be asked in bids from contractors has been made by the officials. A number of other requirements to promote satisfactory collection service have been included in the proposed measure. Among these are rulings that the contracting firm must have complaint forms to be used in notifying the Inspection bu reau if occupants fail to have ashes and refuse ready for removal; re ceptacles to be provided by house holders must not contain more than one and one-half bushels, no dump ing of ashes in alleys, on streets or in any public place or private prop erty, penalty of not more than j 100 fine or 30-days in jail for violations.

Dr. Solf, the foreign secretary, says in a wireless dispatch received here. The message is addressed to governments of the United States, Great Britain, France and Italy. In view of the close economic rela tions between the country west or the Rhine and the remainder of Ger many, the preservation of which is necessary "to the continued peaceful development of Germany." Dr. Solf asks the modification of some dozen points concerning this region, i For Instance, lie asks permission i for German owners to exploit as here tofore the coal, potash and iron ore mines nnd the general free use of the Rhino for transport within the old boundaries of the German em pire. The foreign secretary also asks permission for free navigation by way of Rotterdam nnd the coast for the provisioning of Germany; the [ continuation of industrial pursuits on the left bank of the Rhine for the use of the remainder of Germany, and free railway traffic in occupied ter ritory. He repeats the previous protest against the surrender of means of j transport and protests against "con ■ tinuation of the blockade." He con | eludes by saying that attempts by I German delegates to discuss these matters at Spa had been unsuccess ful because the representatives there of the Allied countries lacked the necessary powers.
