SHARP CLASHES DURING DEBATE [Continue*! from First Pago.] J the practical effect of Shantung pro- j vision was to deliver both political I and economic sovereignty over the j province to Japan. Prompt and unreserved ratiflca- j j tion of the peace treaty with the j | League of {Nations covenant was I urged upon the Senate by Senator ! j Pomerene, Ohio, Democrat, of the j i Foreign Relations Committee. In a prepared address, crowded j with constitutional and legal argu- i ; ments. Senator Pomerene. said the ; league was not a sure preventative I of wars, but would tend to prevent | war, and could be amended as ex j perienee required. He replied to the criticisms of Republican" leader j Lodge. Senator Knox, Republican, |of Pennsylvania. former Senator I Root and Chairman Hays, of the Re publican National Committee. Much of the opposition. Mr. Pomerene asserted, springs from partisanship. "Surely," said the Ohi Senator in part, "If the treaty is ratified after the experience through which we have just passed, it will help to keep cur former enemies in the straight and narrow path until the present plan can be modified or im proved so as to meet the require ments of our future experiences and j our mature thoughts. I "Is it not going to be better, that j we surrender some of our own con victions in the interest of immedi- I ate peace, rather than insist upon I changes which will require the pend ing treaty to be sent back to the associated powers? During the war many of us j voted for measures not because we j would have approved them in time I of peace hut because we felt the I exigencies of the situation inquired them. May we not pursue a similar course when it comes to the ratifi cation of the treaty?" Congregation Accepts the Resignation of Dr. J. B. Markward The Rev. Dr. J. Bradley Mark ward, who has been pastor of Beth lehem Lutheran Church for more than 10 years, will preach his final sermon as pastor on Sunday morn ing. August 31.- He will take up his j duties as pastor of First Lutheran Church, Springfield, Ohio, the first Sunday of September. At a congregational meetixig held yesterday his resignation was ac cepted regretfully. It was the sense of the meeting that the congregation parted with its pastor with feelings of keen regret and that its prayers and best wishes would go with him to his new field in Ohio. Dr. Markward succeeded the Rev. Dr. John Henry Harms as pastor of Bethlehem Lutheran Church. The congregation to which he goes numbers 1,500 and is the leading Lutheran Church of Springfield. The Rev. Dr. Clarence E. Gardner, whom Dr. Markward succeeds, has gone to St. Joseph's, Mo., to engage in I pastorial work. Dr. Markward will ! spend the greater part of the month of August at Shippensburg, return- I ing here the last Sunday of the month to say farewell to his people. Rockman Resumes Post With Wm. Strouse and Co. X. T. ROCKMAN X. T. Rockman, who for the past nineteen months has been in the service, has returned to his post as head of the boys' department in the store of William Strouse & Com pany. Rockman was a sergeant of the first class in the Motor Transport Corps and spent fifteen months In France 117 OF 29 AUTOS STOLEN IN 1919 ARE RECOVERED Police Reports Show Bands of Boy Joy-Riders Are Broken Up Seventeen of the 29 automobiles stolen in this city thus far in 1919, have been recovered through efforts | of the Harrisburg police department, | according to figures compiled by | Earl M. White, clerk to Chief of j Police Wetzel. ] Twelve automobiles stolen in this j city this year still are missing, ac ! cording to these figures. The State has been thoroughly circularized by the police department anil police de partments in every section of the State have been given full details concerning the missing automobiles. There is, in consequence, strong hope on the part of police officials | that more of the cars will be recov ered. The number of automobiles stolen j this year is falling considerably be i low the number taken last year. I Likewise, the percentage of automo- I biles recovered is somewhat lower. The fact that several parties of youths who were in the habit of tak- I ing automobiles for Joy-rides, hav j ing been broken up, is held to be re ! sponsible. j During 1918 68 automobiles were I taken in this city, and two bands of ! youths were responsible In most of I the cases, according to a statement j made at police station. These youths, | it is said, took the automobiles for ! a joy-ride and after they had fin j ished, abandoned them in some rural ! section. This year fewer automobiles are jslcden, but those that have been tak jt n were driven away by "real j thieves," according to police nuthor- I ilies. In very few instances have any automobiles been found aban done as was the case in 1918, which accounts for the high percentage of the automobiles stolen then, being recovered. Wilson Asks Appointment ; of American Member to Reparations Commission By Associated Press. Washington July 2t.— President I Wilson to-day asked the Senate For ' • ign Relations Committee to approve | I appointment of an American member lof the reparation commission pro- | I vided for under the Peace Treaty, to j | act provisionally pending Senate ac tion on the Versailles document. The 'committee debated the request for more than an hour without acting. The President wrote that he made the request because he considered it "of so much importance to the busi ness interests of the country that the United States be interested on the commission." Senator Williams, Democrat, Mis sissippi, offered a resolution declar ing the committee willing to approve such an appointment, but Chairman Lodge and other Republican mem bers opposed it, while Senator Knox, Republican, Pennsylvania and Hard ing, Republican, Ohio, offered sub stitutes that would declare the com mittee without authority. None of the proposals came to a vote. It is understood in official circles President Wilson intends to appoint Bernard M. Baruch, of New York, as the American representative on the reparations commission. During the war Mr. Baruch was chairman of the War Industries | Board, and he aided at Paris in i working out the reparations and | economic clauses of the treaty. j The committee will take up .the t ! President's request again tomorrow | when Senator Fail, under notice | given to-day, will move that the i doors be opened while the subject is | under discussion. The substitute resolution offered j by Senator Knox to-day would dc- | ciare "that it is the judgment of the ! committee that until the Treaty is j ratified no power exists either in the President or in Congress to ex- j ecute any of the provisions provided i in the Treaty either provisionally or j otherwise." Three Men Charged With Robbing Train to Get Hearing This Evening Hearings of the three men who were arrested last Wednesday on the charge of breaking into and robbing a freight car that morn- t ing at Shippensburg. will be held ! this evening. The hearings, sched- ! tiled to start at 8 o'clock, will he held by United States Commissioner John A. F. Hall, in the office of .United States Deputy Marshal Har vey T. Smith, in the Post Office building. The men are Ralph Taylor, 1914 North Seventh street, Harrisburg; George Forry, Hagerstown, Md., and Charles Custes, Charlestown, W. Va. Forry and Custes were taken into 'custody when they were surprised while at work removing 750,000 cigarets from a freight car at Ship pensburg, according to the story told by railroad detectives. Taylor, who is said to have participated in the attempted robbery, escaped at that time, although thirty-nine shots from a shotgun lodged in his right leg. He is reported to have dragged himself three miles to a farmhouse and there persuaded a farmer to bring him to his home in this city in an automobile. He was later arrested there by men of Cap tain Paul L. Barclay's Pennsylvania Railroad force and was lodged in the Dauphin county jail after being treated at the Harrisburg Hospital. Grangers Peeved at President Wilson The executive and legislative committees of the Pennsylvania State Grange are sad and sorrowful at the action of President Wilson in vetoing the daylight saving law re pealer. The committees held a meet ing here a few days ago and adopt ed resolutions "deploring" the action of the President and asking Congress to put it up to him again. The committees also adopted reso lutions opposing development of potash plants, declaring that if the government wants such a plant as a was precaution It should build it, but that in peace time potash should be sold at the world price. The resolutions were signed by John A. McSparran, William Arm strong, C. H. Dildine, W. T. Creasy, R. S. Rankin, R. M. Day and Fred Brenekman. The committee also issued their own opinion of what the Legislature accomplished, giving very little credit to the lawmakers.

There wouid i have been 252 delegates there had I 11. A. Fox, of New Zealand, and W. I | E. Tedder, of London, arrived. But I they failed to respond to thetr ! names and the word was given out I they still are on the way from those far countries to Pennsylvania's cap | ital. They probably will arrive be- Ifore the week's convention closes. When President P. D.

W. ' Spahr, general salesmanager and also general chairman or the convention, was in the chuir when the proceed- ! jings opened formally. lie, too,. • greeted the delegates. When the ! rollcall had been concluded and the , delegates had been identified and j I registered the delegates set out to i i become acquainted with their col- j j leagues. This took up the time -un- j ; til 11.30, at which time luncheon j 1 was served. Then special trolley j cars bore the delegates to the plant j | of the company in South Cameron , | street. As they stepped from the | cars moving picture camera men I • caught them and a band played in I j welcome. They spent the afternoon ! lat the plant. This evening there j will be a smoker in the grill room ' jof the hotel. Tomorrow the con vention will get down to business! 1 and will hear addresses bearing on j j the subjects of special interest to I I the manufacturing side of the El- i ! liott-Fisher industry. Front Pacific Coast The Elliott-Fisher men began to j j arrive here yesterday for the six- I day convention. The first large contingent to arrive was the Pacific, j Coast men who came in on the sec- I ond section of train No. 2 over the Pennsy at 12.45, Most of these men had been on the way for four days. From that time on the men came in from the south, middle . west and east on special cars at | tached to the regular trains until j late Sunday night. The first man I I to hrrive was G. F. Barker, from ! Vancouver. British Columbia. The other Canadian representatives ar rived during the day.

Prizes to Be Awarded The prizes won during six months "!> to 5" contest which closed June 30 will be presented to the twenty four winners Friday by Salesman ager G. W. Spahr. The men were given a wide variety of articles to choose from, such as jewelry, fur niture, athletic goods, cameras, etc.. the total value amounting to sev eral thousand dollars. The content was a big success and all former sales records of the company were broken. Notes of the Convention The ballroom is gay in a dress of flags ,4'id bunting. Each delegate wears a distinctive Elliott-Fisher badge. "Tedder's on the way," said Chair man Spahr when the London dele j gate's name was called. It is safe to say "America" never I was more heartily sung than it was i jby the Elliott-Fisher delegates. This Is the first convention of field |< ; men in the thirty years' h'story of J the rompany. One will be held arv : nually hereafter, and it will be held ' in Harrlsburg, too. As an evidence of the high cost of doing things these days of 191 ft, this sign was displayed in the ball- j room: "This convention costs $30.25 per minute." An unusual Incident occurred Just before the morning session con cluded Orders for $50,000 worth of business were turned over to Mr. Spahr by members of the salesforce. who had obtained them practically on the way to Harrlsburg. A Chi cago salesman hrought an order ap proximating $23,000 from the Com monwealth Edison firm of that city. G. F. Carter, who has been with the company twenty-five years and who has the distinction of having sold the first Fisher model machine, was among the delegates who re ceived warm greeting from his fel low delegates after the roll had been called.
