the council of ten to have all their re

were prevented from accomplishing:

The council of ten appears to be anx
ious that it should be known that it is'
not the delay In the completion of the
work of the commission of the League

DEMOCRATS TO
BLAME FOR BILLS
CONGRESS FAILED
Their Delay in Pushing Meas
ures Is Cause; Not Fili
burslering
Special to the Telegraph
Washington. Pa., March 24.—That
the failure of the great appropria
tion bills and other important legis
lation to pass the last session of
Congress was directly and solely due
to Democratic tardiness and not to
dilatory tactics or filibustering, is
being charged here following the
statement of President Wilson that
a "group of men in the Senate" have
chosen to embarrass the administra
tion.
The failure of the committees in
Congress, controlled and dominated
in every instance by Democrats, to
report these bills to the House and
to the Senate for their consideration
in time to permit their being acted
upon is pointed to as the real rea
son by those in touch with the situa
tion at the capital.
Within a few moments after the
adjournment of Congress, March 4.
the President issued this statement
which began as follows:
| "A group of men in the Sen
ate have deliberately chosen to
embarrass the administration of
the government, to imperii the
financial interests of the rail
way systems of the country, and
to make arbitrary use of powers
intended to be employed in the
interest of the people."
When Mr. Wilson opened the last
session of the last Congress on De
cember 2. he notified members of
the Congress that he was leaving at
once for Paris and a tour of Eu
rope, and that he had no time to
j make any recommendations to it re
: garding domestic legislation. The
same afternoon he left Washington
for Europe. He did not return to
this country until one week before
I the adjournment of Congress, so that
| he was not in the I'nited States dur
j ing the entirety of the last session
of Congress. Because of this, he has'
] not been at all conversant with the
j facts.
The President referred especially
to the failure of the general deflc
-1 ienc.v bill, which carried with it
: among other items, appropriations
for the Federal Railroud Adminis
tration. and he alleges in his state
ment. that the failure to pass this
bill "imperiled the financial inter
ests of the railway s>stems of the
country." This bill was not re
ported to the Senate until late in the
day. Saturday. March 1, which ren
dered its discussion impossible un
j til Monday. March 3, within thirty
l six hours of the time Congress legal
|ly expired. The bill carried appro
j priations aggregating $842,000,000.
j One of the items was an uppropria
! tion of $730,000,000 asked for by
i the Federal Railroad Administra
i tion to meet a deficit created by the
j Democratic Administration's opera
; tion of railroads. It also called for
$30,000,000 to he used by the Ship-
I ping Board for the purchase and
| requisition of siiips.
Where the Delay Occurred
I That this bill did not come from
i the Democratic House to the Senate
j until late on the day of March 1,
| was directly due either to the in
i difference or to the incompetence of
the Democratic majority in the
] House, as. under the rules in that
body, legislation can be put through
without delay in event tlie majority
wishes it.
Other appropriation bills which
' failed of passage were: the $1,250,-
000,000 Army appropriation bill,
carrying with it legislation for re
; vision of the Articles of War and
j effecting the future military policy
! of the United States: the $750,000,-
000 Navy appropriation hill, carry
| ing with it legislation affecting the
future naval policy of the I'nited
States: the sundry civil bill carrying
appropriations of $530.000.000, and
with it legislation affecting the
merchant marine of the United
States: the agricultural appropria
tion hill, calling for $30,000,000.
The Democratic majority in the
House had the Army appropriation
bill nearly three months before they
sent it to the Senate. The 'records
show that it was not passed by the
House until February 25, only seven
days prior to the legal expiration of
the Congress, it then had to be
considered in Senate committee be
fore being reported to the Senate for
1 action. According to a statement
; made in the Senate by Senator New
of the Senate committee on military
j affairs. that committee worked
every minute day and night" in an
, effort to get it in shape to report
Ito tt\e Senate for final action. The
$750,000,000 natal appropriation
bill was in the House for over two
months before it was sent to the
Senate.
Both the Army and Navy appro
priation bills carried with them, in
violation of legislative procedure,
new legislation. They not only au
thorized the expenditure of $2,000.-
000.000 in the aggregate, but they
committed the nation to a military
and naval policy affecting the future
generations very vitally. The naval
bill vested in the President of the
I'nited States autocratic powers that
were not vested in him even in times
of war.
Other bills failed of passage for
the same reason.

petition, vouched for by an affidavit
by one of them, opposing the change.
The Penrose people "complain that
on the basis of the present law the
County Commissioners in tiie last
election changed several polling
places in Penrose wards on petitions
signed by a few Yure adherents in
the ward. It is understood an agree

provide considerable change in the

FUEL EXPERT IS
BEING TRIED BY
COURT-MARTIAL
Tried to Sell I'. S. and Great
Britain Destructive Gases,
It Is Charged
New York, March 24.—Captain j
Edwin G. Weisgerber, engineer corps.
L*. S. A., said to be one of the lead
ing gas experts in this country, is!
being tried by court-martial at Gov- j
ernor's Island to-day, charged with!
offences committed during war time;
against the military services of!
Great Britain and the L'nited States.!
One charge is that he sought to j
sell to the British government a .
synthetic fuel, an ingredient of which
is picric acid. X'se of this fuel the ■
War Department charges. would
have resulted in the destruction of'
any internal combustion engine in
the operation of which it might be!
employed.
Another charge is that lie recom-'
mended the use of an interchange-!
able standardized pipe connection |
for oxygen containers, tanks and 1
regulators. Had it been adopted tlie 1
government alleges, dangerous con- ;
sequences to life and proper!: might
have followed.
The charge is made by the gov
ernment that the alleged acts cf
Captain Weisgerber were such as to
demonstrate "his disloyalty to the
government of tlje l'nited States and
his sympathy with its enemies."
Furthermore. Captain Weisgerber
is accused of having threatened to
withhold the use of his fuel inven
tions from the army and navy of the
l'nited States unless he and officer
friends were promoted to the rank
of colonel.
The last charge *s that last June
he spoke disparagingly of Captain
H. D. Truman, an American officer,
who had previously served in the
British army. Captain Weisgerber
will he defended by Major E. Lowry
