WILSON PICKS
5 SWANSON AS HIS
; SENATE LEADER
I Deposes Hitchcock as Spokes
l man in Fight For League;
Democrats Astounded
; Washington, July 12.—The first
p move of President Wilson for the
it fight for the ratification of the Peace
J, Treaty and the League of Nations
j has been the virtual deposition of
f Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, as
f- his spokesman in the Senate, and
f the selection of Senator Swanson, of
Virginia, to lead the League forces,
f- Nortwlthstanding the denial by
J Senator Swanson that there had
i been a shift of leadership in the
L democratic ranks, it was learned
that the Senator is preparing a
; speech that will probably be deliv
ered in the Senate on Monday, which
! will be the keynote in support of the
j. Covenant and Treaty brought back \
f by President Wilson, while Senator |
Hitchcock, who has headed the |
1 League forces during the six months
v the President was abroad, is nt his
j summer home in Massachusetts.
[ Moreover, Senator Hitchcock has
i not been in conference with the
[ President since his return to the j
r United States nor has he met the
f President except as a member of
!. the Senate Committee appointed to
' escort the Chief Executive into the
| Senate chamber. On the other hand,
, Senator Swanson was in conference
, with the President for some time,
' and it is understood that a program
I was mapped out upon which the
| Democrats will support the Treaty
and Covenant in the Senate.
Dissatisfied With Light
L It appeared that the President has
, not been satisfied with the manner
i in which the League fight has been
I carried on during his absence, and
r ascribes to this the growing senti-
I ment against the League. This he
finds even stronger now at the Cap
i itol than he had been led to be
lieve while in Puris. There are
' fears now being expressed that it
will bo difficult to hold all the Dem
* cratic forces in line when the final
' c test comes, several of the minority
Senators showing a keen disappoint
f. ment that the President in his ad
dress failed to answer-questions that
' were in their minds, and which
; they fully expected would be cx
; plained when the Chief Executive
[ returned with the Treaty.
DENIES IU'PTURE
Washington, July 12.—Published
• reports intimating that there had
been a disagreement between Presi
f dent Wilson and Senator Hitchcock,
t Nebraska, who has been one of the
j leading spokesmen lor the admin-
L istration in the long Senate fight over
, the League of Nations, were said
f h.v Secretary Tumulty to-day to be
I without the slightest foundation.

SATURDAY EVENING,
THREE SHIPS ARE
READY TO SAIL
FOR GERMANY
One Is Loaded With Cotton
i
and Two With General
Merchandise
By Associated Press.
Washington, July 12.—Three ships
for Germany already have been load-
I ed in American ports, one with cot
| ton and two with general merchan
j disc. They will start overseas as j
| soon as licenses for their cargoes j
i have been issued.
j It also was announced that direct j
; steamship lines to Hamburg and ;
i Bremen would be established by the '
j board. These lines will operate out I
| of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, i
| Baltimore and South Atlantic and I
Gulf ports Just as soon as the neces- I
I sary cargoes are at the docks,
j Trading in all communities, except '
j dyestufl's, chemicals and potash con
| trtil over which will be exercised by
the Reparations Commission set up,
by the Peace Treaty, will be unre
stricted, it was said. American
firms doing business with Germany
must send their agents into that
| country without passports, however,
as these can not be issued until the
proclamation of peace. It also was
said at the State Department that
there was no certainty when Ameri
can consuls wodld be sent to Ger
many.
Payment for the goods which this
country sends to Germany must be
made under a system of credits to be
arranged later through private cap
ital. officials said. While Germany
lias large quantities of goods ready
to be exported, officials doubted that
there would be any great demand for
them in this country and conse
quently the trade balance in favor
of the United States is expected to"
be large.
Germany was said to be in immedi
ate and pressing need of raw materi
als of almost all kinds, particularly
cotton and copper and it is believed
that the demand for grain and cloth
ing will be great.
CHRISTIANS ARE
TOTURED IN KOREA
[Continued i\um First Page.]
added, "have tjxfi same feelings of
delicacy as Europeans a modesty
not shured by Japanese of either
sex." He accuses the Japanese of
taking advantage of this situation to
increase the distress of women pris
oners forced to undergo examination
by the police and says cultured and
refined Korean women were sub
jected to the grossest indignities.
They were humiliated and exhibited
to the public gaze, he declares.
Respectable women In one part of
Korea were not safe in their homos
| during the day, the report contin
i ues, und so were forced to spend
most of their time as refugees in
the hills, returning to their homes
at night. The Japanese police des
ignated all women who favored the
independence of their land as social
outcasts and denounced them in re
volting terms. When arrested, some
of them, it is charged, were tor
tured. One such ease, which was
cited, referred to a Christian wom
an whose arm is said to have been
wrenched from the socket by her
persecutors.
•flip Governor Admitted Offenses
Towns where Japanese soldiers
are declared to have committed ex
cesses and burned churches and
dwellings are Suchone and Tyungju,
in north Pyengan province, and
thirteen other missionary centers.
Protests against such acts were
lodged with the Japunese governor
general by an American vice consul
and a British acting consul, one of
whom hud visited a ruined village.
The governor general admitted the
offense, it is stated.
Hundreds Destitute
Testimony regarding one of these
fires was quoted from a Tokio news
paper. It purported to describe
scenes of ruin and devastation.
Hundreds of families were said to
he destitute. The investigators, ac
cording to the report, were told by
an aged Korean survivor how ail
the Christians of the vtlagc had been
forced to enter the church, the wom
en being excluded, whereupon the
soldiers started a massacre, sparing
only women and children. After the
fifteen villages hud been reduced to
ashes, the report goes on, a number
of Korean and Japanese newspa
pers attributed the incendiarism to
some of the missionaries and their
converts. Others accused the Shun
tokyo a seniipolitieal, semtreligious
organization.
Violently AntlAinerioan
The Chosen Shimbun of March
13. 1919, is quoted as saying:
"The stirring up of the minds of
the Koreans is the work of Amer
ican missionaries. This uprising is
their work. • • • There are a good
many shallow-minded people among
the missionaries. They make the
minds of the Koreans bad and plant
the seeds of democracy."
In conclusion, after publishing
what are alleged to be violently
anti American articles from certain
Japanese newspapers, the report of
the Presbyterian investigators says:
"It is unnecessary to say more.
TheHe articles speak for themselves.
The reader can judge of the attitude
of the press when the government
permits such stuff to bo printed. As
the press always is under -the cen
sor here, when such stuff is printed,
tiie government becomes morally re
sponsible. Tlie truth is prohibited.
Falsehoods und libels are ullowed.
Such a course of action only endan
gers the relations of the govern
ments concerned."

BUILDING CODE
NEEDED TO KEEP
PROPER LINES
Residential Sections jn Dan
ger of Impairment by
Lack of Laws
With the Increasing development of
the building trades more and more at
tention is being given to the lack of a
proper building code. Attention is par
ticularly directed by real estate men
to the failure in some cases of proper
building restrictions along Front street
especially, and in other residential sec
tions. Occasionally an owner of prop
erty will build upon a sidewalk line
generally adopted by other buildings
in the same locality.
"The principal asset of the River
Front boulevard," said a progressive
citizen 10-dny, "is the maintenance of
the Front street line a proper distance
east of the sidewalk or building line.
The future attructiveness of the River
Drive depends almost entirely upon the
establishing of a definite building line
so that the open spaces back of the
sidewalk are preserved as a necessary
setting to the driveway along the river."
Unless some definite steps are taken
to provide building restrictions of this
character through the adoption of a
building code it is feared that serious
impairment of the river frontage and Its
picturesque character may follow.
STEEL MILLS TO BOOM
WITH COMING OF FALL
[Continued from First I'ago.]
to receive a large share of the Beth
lehem apportionment. The rail mills
here have been kept in operation
partly through the transferring of
orders from the Bethlehem plant.
Prices Hold Strong
The rolling mills and the foundry
and forge department of the Steel
ton plant probably are less active
than are the others. Some of the
rolling mills are not in operation at
this time, while some of the other
mills together with the foundry and
forge department are operating only
several days weekly. Comparative
ly few less employes are on the com
pany's payroll than before the war,
however, it is reported.
The fact that prices continue
strong, is advanced by the city Iron
and steel men as the reason for
their belief that the business is rap
idly coming again into its own in
this territory. They say that heavy
melting steel scrap is up again, with
Pittsburgh district mills bidding
from $13.50 to sl9 or higher, but ob
taining hardly any offerings, as scrap
is scarce and the limited tonnages
available are being held for higher
prices.
In finished steel products the buy
ing increases. The improvement in
the market dates front about the
second week in May and has been
continuous since that time. Even
the advent of the July-August mid
sumVner period, proverbially a dull
one in the steel market, does not
seem to have affected the activity
at all, and this is regarded as con
clusive proof that a major move
ment in the steel market is already
well under way.
On Goo<l Basis
Mills of the Pittsburgh district are
operating on a basis somewhat bet
ter than an 80 per cent. For the
whole of the country it is a fair es
timate that the industry turns the
half year on an operating basis of
between 70 and 75 per cent. Pitts
burgh* mills state orders received in
June and sent to the mills for roll
ing and specifications against con
tracts were at least 50 per cent,
heavier than in May, while in wire
products and tubular goods they
were nearly double.
June proved to be the largest
month in pig iron sales in the last
twelve months; July so far shows
considerable activity in all grades
except steel-making irons.
The low ebb in furnace operations
has now, apparently passed, as more
merchant as well as steel works fur
naces are now going back in blast
than are closing. Production of pig
iron in the United States in June was
at tlie rate of 26,000,000 tons a year,
against a rate of 25.000,000 tons in
May, the May rate having been the
lowest since April, 1915.
Light operations of car plants
have curtailed demands for plates,
hut the general outlook is for heavier
operations. Inspection of building
projects is increasing steel demands,
while the automobile trade is de
manding more sheets. Pipe mills
are operating actively to supply ma
terials for the oil country. It is re
ported that more orders are being
place for tin plate. Altogether, the
trade is comparatively active and
holds a generally bright outlook.
Hundred New Looms to
Be Installed in the Plant
of Harrisburg Silk Co.
During the war the Pelgram and
Meyer Company, manufacturers of
silks, ribbons, etc., went full blast,
and since the cessation of hostilities
there lias'bcen no falling off in their
work. In fact, G. I\ Koster. local
manager, announced yesterday that
pans were being completed for en
larging the capacity.
One hundred new looms have been
ordered to replace the older type
of machinery, costing $40,000. and
will soon be set up. All these looms
will be driven by motors, as no belts
at alt are allowed in the very up
to-date factory conducted by the
company in this city, as well as in
Paterson and Hoonton, N. J.
Another firm which is increasing
its capacity is the Moorhead Knit
ting Mills, which will begin the tirst
of September to construct additional
buildings to give double the present
space.

DAYLIGHT LAW IS
SUSTAINED BY WILSON
[Continued from First Pago.]
miliar with the business operations
of the country, but also from ob
servation- of the happy and beneficial
consequences of similar legislation
in other countries where legislation
of this character has been for some
time in operation and where it has
resulted, as the act of March 19,
1918, has resulted in the United
States, in substantial economies.
That act was inten-ded to place the
chief business activities of the coun
try as nearly as might be within
the limits of daylight throughout the
year. It resulted in very great econ
omies of fuel and substantial econ
omy of because of the very
different effects of the work done in
the daylight and work done by ar
tificial light.
Wide Satisfaction
"It, moreover, served the daily
convenience of many communities of
the country in a way which gave all
but universal satisfaction and the
overwhelming testimony of its value
which has come to me convinces me
that I should not be justified in ac
quiescing in its repeal."
In regard to the sundry civil bill,
the President, in another communi
cation to the House said:
"Under the vocation rehabilita
tion bill, which became law June 27,
1918, ihe Congress has sought to
fulfill the expectations of the coun

disability and to resume his place as
a civilian able to earn- a living upon
something like equal footing with
those with whom he was associated
hoforo he made his great sacrifice
for the honor and defense of the
country.
Work at Height
"The work of rehabilitation under
this admirable law is now at its

FIGHT OVER CURB MARKET
RENEWED AT GETTYSBURG
Price Fixing Daylight-Saving Law, Greed and Other Things
Filler Into Lively Argument Between Truckers,
Citizens and Borough Council
Gettysburg, Pa., July 12. —Gettys-
burg's curb market, which has been
a storm center ever since its estab
lishment some years ago, is ugaln
in the midst of a controversy, in
which truckers, citizens and the
town council have become Involved.
Pricelixing, the daylight saving law,
greed and many other things have
entered into the arguments until
the situation is uppermost in the
minds of all concerned. Every year
the council acts to lix the time
of openyig the market and every
year the rule fails of enforcement
This year six o'clock was fixed, but
the market opened when the truck
ers arrived and frequently at six
o'clock most of them were sold out
and on their way home. Then the
town council acted and compelled
all to observe the law and await the
appointed hour. A regular free-for
all grab for the produce has result
ed. Crowds of twelve and fifteen
eager purchasers now surround
wagons having on display the choice
fruit and vegetables wanted and on
the first stroke of the hour will dash
in for their intended purchases.
Fruits and vegetables have been
spilled over the pavements and curbs
and the truckers have a hig time
getting their money while the pur
chasing crowd fights on. More than
that, the truckers object to the late
opening hour, alleging that it delays
them in getting home and doing
their day's work, while council re
plies that it is "really" only five
o'clock and that farmers are sup
posed to go by the sun anyhow.
The newspapers and citizens gener
ally claim that the truckers ask
more for their fruit and vegetables
than Is demanded at the stores and
heated arguments have resulted,
people asking the market men to
Six Killed, 12 Injured
When Big Army Truck
Plunges From Bridge

Alexander, Va., July 12. Two
officers and four enlisted men were
killed and twelve enlisted men were
injured, none seriously, In an acci

an Army motor truck plunged over
the side of a bridge while turning
to avoid a passing military police
patrol wagon. The dead:
Captain C. A. Heilman, Engineers,

Eighteen men were returning in
the truck to Camp Humphries, Va.,
from Washington. It was believed

that in turning the machine to avoid
control. The truck fell on the rocks
below the bridge and the dead men
were crushed under it.
Demand For Labor Is
Bigger Than the Supply
In spite of the great number of
discharged soldiers who are looking
for employment, the director of the
State Empoyment Bureau, Jacob
Eightner, looks for a serious labor
shortage very shortly. New roads
beir.-g built by the State draw many
of the men who like an outdoor life:
Industrial plar.-ts running to capacity
take many of them; the summer
harvests are calling workers to the
farms. Most of the requests for
labor are of the unskilled type, al
though many men in skilled mechan
ical lines are being demar.-ded also.

Questions For the
President to Answer
Washington, D. C., July 12.—Ques
tions which those favoring the
League of Nations are asked to an
swer were given out to-day by
George Whaton Pepper of Philadel
phia, vice-president of the League
for the Preservation of American In
dependence. The questions are:
"Why should Great Britain have six
votes in the Assembly of Nations as
against one apiece for Liberia and
the United States?
"Is our guarantee of aid to Franca
the same or a different thing from
the guarantee which we give to oth
er nations under Article X of the
league covenant?
"If the same why make a separate
treaty? If different, what is the dif
ference?
"What good reason is there why
the United States should surrender
her moral leadership of the world by
agreeing to act aa directed by the In
ternational voting trust?
"These are the questions," says Mr,
Pepper, "which millions of Americans
hve lately begun to ask themselves.
They look to the Prsidnt for an an
swr and hav got non. Mr. Wilson
nver answers. He never explains. He
never argues. He merely asserts in
a confident and attractive way that
all will be well If he is permitted to
do exactly as he pleases."

Why Japanese Are
Rewarded With Shantung
Washington. July 12. Senator
Swanson has disclosed the argument
which would be use In defending
the Shantung settlement In the Peace
Toaty. He said that Japan was
simply being allowed to get back
what it cost her to drive the Ger
mans out of China.
"It's like rewarding a person who
has driven away a burglar," said
Mr. Swanson. "Japan did just that,
and now is entitled to recover the
cost of that expensive operation. The
docks, with harbors and railroads,
which Germany put in after getting
control of the territory from China
properly go to Japan as a reward."
