Covenant Best Adjusted Since Divine Master Came to Earth —Gay | Washington, July 29—Th League |of Nations was praised in Uic Senate to-day by Senator Gay. Dem ocrat, Louisiana, as "the practical J application of the principles of the American government to the prob | lem of reconstruction of the world under the clearest and best adjust- I ment of governmental affairs ever put in operation since the Divmc Master came to earth and preached the gospel of peace and good will to men." The speaker eulogized President Wilson for his efforts at the Peace Conference and declared the senti ment and best interests of the coun try demanded ratification of the Peace Treaty, leaving to the futuie the adjustment of any defects. "Article ten, the heart of the league, has been more bitterly at i tacked perhaps than any other," said the Senator. "This Is an agree ment to preserve and protect each other against external aggression. We here depart as is absolutely necessary from the policy of ex clusiveness. Article ten will prevent the grabbing of territory by greedy nations. Almost all of the wars ixi history have been wars of conquest. I. for one, believe that Article ten will have more influence in the pre- . vention of wars than any other ar ticle of the covenant. "This league is not a panacea for [ all the evils which have afflicted the nations; but if it shall prevent even one war. It will have served humanity and civilization." World Today Is More Turbulent Than Before Armistice, He Says Washington, July 29.—Expressing | doubt as to the merits of the League ! of Nations and pointing out that | either the League covenant or the I "peace of force" with which it is | linked, must in the end perish. Sen- j ator Thomas, Democrat, Colorado, told ! the Senate to-day be had reached no final decision as to the Treaty of t Versailles. While hoping that the great war had so uplifted human morality and j intellect as to make permanent | peace possible, Senator Thomas said . he "could see no evidence of such n change." "The world Is to-day turbulent, | and scarcely less bloody than before j the signing of the armistice," he con tinued. "The people of no nation on earth seem inclined to peace or to the arts of peace. The passions and discontent of man rock the earth." CHRYSANTHEMUM CALL FLY I WORKS WHILE YOU SLEEP I Washington. After completing the study of the habits of seasonal I history of the chysanthemum gall j fly or midge, the entomologists of the United States Department of Agricul- J ture says that growers either must use nicotine sulphate as a spray or do some night work if they expect to prevent the damage done in florists' greenhouses by this pest. The gall fly was not a pest in greenhouses in the United State un til two or three years ago, but now it has been reported by a number of "mum" growers scattered over a wide area in this country. It causes unsightly galls on the leaves of chrysanthemums and curls or crumples them, thus reducing the vigor of the plant. This in turn af fects the size, color and beauty of the bloom. Consequently the "mum" grower receives less for his flowers on the market. Two ways have been found to eliminate the gall fly—burning to bacco paper in the greenhouses and spraying the plants with nicotine sulphate. The entomologists have found that fully 95 per cent of the gull flies emerge from tho galls as adults after midnight. Consequently where to bacco steins are burned as a moans of control, the work must bo done after midnight, since the fumes are effective for only a few hours, duo-to leakage. Most greenhouse men have been in the habit of fumigating about 6 o'clock in the evening. This practice is not effective against the crysanthemum gall fly unless the house is absolutely tight. However, where nicotine sulphate is sprayed on the plants, the work may be done in the 'ate afternoon or early eve ning. This application should be re peated every second or third day for a period of a month or more. PETITIONS FILED Nominating petitions filed to-day follow: William A.

The outbreak is declared ID have occurred in a garrison town, the garrison joining the revolution ists. BULL MOOSERS SEEK CONTROL OF G. 0. P. [Continued from First Page.] the call and he dominated the meet ing, making the keynote speech after he had called it to order and sitting up front while the motions to create a State-wide organization to galvanize the old Bull Moose herd were put through in the most approved style. Mr. Pinchot's speech was a reiteration of his well known ideas and everyone who did not agree with them was consigned to the list of "reactionaries." Adjourn For Lunch The meeting was adjourned for luncheon after committees weot named and late to-day "a purpose" will be made known and the or-1 ganization perfected. There will be more speeches. Senator Miles Poin dexter, of Washington, who was scheduled to make an address was prevented from coming to Harrls burg. Mr. Pinchot did not refer to any personal ambitions telling Inquirers "that is not the question." Sessions Resumed At the opening of the afternysp session, B. H. Wells, of Seattle, stated that he received a telegram from Senator Poindexter that he had been prevented from leaving Washington by a meeting of Sen ators called for to-night. The organization of the movement was then taken up although the committee on the declaration had not yet reported. The committee on organization recommended these selections, which were accepted: Delegates to National Conference, William Fllnn and H. D. W. English, Pittsburgh; Gifford Pinchot, Pike county; J. Ross MeCormick, Lacka wanna county and R. W. Thompson, Union county. Committee on organization of dele gate campaign at large: A. W. Hag enbach, Lehigh county; A. Nevln Detrich, Philadelphia; Fred Brenck- | man, Carbon county; S. Jarvls Adams, Jr., Pittsburgh; F. E. Wood, Bradford county and Ezra Stolzfuss, Lancaster county. Brings Up Debate The adoption of the report on or ganization created some discussion. Earl G. Boose, Dußois, wanted to know how the representatives from I Congressional districts would bo | named, and Chairman Detrich said: | "They should be chosen by ronfor i onees in their districts." "Are we organizing an opposition !to the regular Republican organ- I ization?" asked Charles Schofleld, Philadelphia. "Absolutely no. The question of harmony is up to the Old Guard,," replied the chairman. Alexis J. Limeburner, Philadel phia. asked that the national rep resentatives be increased to six so that a Philadelphlan be named. Tho list comprised two Plttsburghets. The conference at once agreed and Arthur G. tlraham, Philadelphia, was selected. In the intermission which follow ed, 1912 national delegates wero asked to stand up. There were four teen present. Gifford Pinchot's conference of men active in the Washington party in years gone by was opened at noon in the ballroom of the Penn- Harris by Mr. Pinchot frimself with just seventy-nine present. Mr. Pinchot at once had Secretary A. Nevin Detrich read the call issued from Pennsylvania ten days ago. Mr. Detrich said that William Flinn was ill and could not be here, but bad I sent a letter, which was read. It expressed his "thorough sympathy" with tho movement,. Letters of Regret Other letters of regret were from Congressman M. C. Kelly, Senator Wallace Barnes, Wayne county; John H. Morrison, Mercer; H. D. W. English,, Pittsburgh; John J. Gheen, Chester county, and R. C. Russell and others of Warren county, and several others who were on vacation or held at home by engagements. This reading took up a quarter of an hour. Repre sentatives D. W. Kelt, Northum berland; R. L. Wallace. Lawrence, and J. M. Boland, Crawford, also sent letters ltgrettlng engagements that detained them at home. Pinchot Reads Address Mr. Pinchot dispensed with a rollcall and proceeded to read in address, declaring the future in tho hands of the Progressive Republi cans. Mrs. Pinchot was among those who came into the hall just as the meeting began. The Misses Brumm, of Pottsville. were also present. Many Late Arrivals Arriong the noon arrivals wete William Watts,, Mercer, Delaware county; Charles L. Johnson, W. C. Lebo and W. 11. Sponsler, Perry: R. T. Rich, Clinton; Frank M. War ing, Blair; D.

Schminker, Gratz; B. K. Smith and D. E. Taylor, Harrlsburg. "My friend, that Is not the ques tion," said Gtfford Pinchot this morning when asked if the con ference of men formerly active In Washington party affairs and now again with the Republican fold to be held here to-day was to launch a boom for him for United States sen ator next year. Dot rlcli Is Chairman A. Kevin Detrich waa elected permanent chairman and V\ E. Wood, Sayre, secretary when Mr. Pinchot had finished speaking. This committee was named to frame a declaration of purpose: Lex N. Mitchell, Jefferson; George F. Holmes, Philadelphia; A. W. Hagen bach, Lehigh; 1,. D. Appleby, Hunt ingdon; W. \V. Heffner, Columbia. Organization of campaign for election of delegates: Dr. C. P. Asper, Franklin; T. A. 11. Hay, Northamp ton; Earl E. Boose, Clearfield: 1. B. i j Brown, Erie, and L. P. Schneider, ! Allegheny. j The committee on organization is also to recommend five men to rep resent Pennsylvania at the National Conference suggested by Mr. Pin chot in his address. When the committees hnd been named a motion was also made for fa committee of six to represent the : I State-at-large aijd one addiiionnl member from each Congressional : District to form a State organization i to plan the campaign for election of progressive delegates. The motion passed. The committee on declar ation of purpose will name the latter committee and the five representa tives. When asked if he was going to be a candidate Mr. Pinchot made the same reply. A. Nevin Detrich, secretary of the j committee which arranged for the | conference, Insisted that the meet ing was to discuss ways and means to elect national delegates in har mony with the principles put out by the committee headed by Pin chot and which issued the call for the meeting. He said that Mr. Pin chot was not thinking about sena tor, but left a way open when he said that there were always chances that something might turn up. The possibility that Pinchot was i getting ready to run for senator was uppermost in the minds of many of the men here for the meeting. Mr. Detrich, who had the whole plan of the meeting laid out, said that after Mr. Pinchot's speech a committee would be named to ar | range for election of Republican national delegates. This committee will Consist of six men to be chosen at large nnd one fro meaoh of the 32 Congressional dlstfiets. On the sur face the whole plant Is lo insure election of national delegates who will be In tune with the Pinchot declaration. Mr. Pinchot is ex pected to say something about some senators when he makes his speech. Poindexter Coming Senator Miles Poindexter, of Washington, to be the big speaker of the meeting, will not arrive until late in the day, it was announced to-day. William Flinn, it was stated by Mr. Detrich, had sent a letter fully endorsing all that might be done. Mr. Flinn. it was said, was in poor health and had to avoid any excite i ment and stir. However, when L. P. Schneider, of Pittsburgh, came in he said that Mr. Flinn was "in the pink of condition and playing golf. ' Among early morning arrivuls were M. T. Stokes, the militant Coudersport editor; John F. Blake, i the Pennsylvania blacksmith, of Al toona; J. V. Clark, of Washington county, nnd Dr. G. M. Schminkey, of Oratz, long active in insurgency in upper Dauphin county. Praises Progressives Senator W. S. Kenyon, lowa, and Governor 11. J. Allen. Kansas, sent letters of support. Mr. Pinchot read an extended ad dress, in which he said the Repub lican party had to depend on pro gressive ideas to win and that Presi dent Wilson was "a dangerous op ponent." He attacked the Presi dent's course in the peace negotia tions. His record, ho said, was "saying one thing and doing an other and getting away with it." The address was well received, es pecially the references to the Presi dent. Mr. Pinchot said that the Re publican party must win in spite of "its reactionaries," and that "pro -1 greseive" Republicans had to organ ' ize at once as "stalking horses" had ; been selected by those whom he classed as "reactionaries." He urged the Pennaylvan'a "progressives" to Invite "progressives" of other States 1 to unite in a conference this fall, 1 refraining from endorsement of any President candidate in the mean time. In Shirt Sleeves 1 Mr. Pinchot's declaration in hit! 1 speech that the Progressives must hold a national conference and that meanwhile tho Progressives must 1 "get delegates" seemed to please nic ! auditors as much as his criticisms of President Wilson. The hall was 1 extremely hot and many of the men took off their coats. The women took off their hats. Harry K. Daugherty, of 'Mercer county, former Deputy Attorney General, who was here, came out with a declaration for Knox for President. He said: "I am for Senator Knox for Presi dent; if ho is not a candidate, I am for General Wood. While I am a Progressive Republican, and have been sinco 1912, I voted for Senator Knox in the Republican convention of 1916, and I should be glad lo see Pennsylvania back him up to the limit next year. I consider Knox the foremost American states man of this age. He has always stood for the rights of the American people, and h's public record wili show tb's statement to bo true. I Years ago on his own initiative lie I broke the most gigantic trust con ceivable—tho Northern Securities ! merger, end made his government I > master of the corporations; und lo | day he is leading the fight in the Senate for Americanism, and L lie sanctity of our constitutional prin- J ciples." ~ ' JULY 29, 1919. iKai luu I, If 2tm FORESTALLING IS MADE PUNISHABLE < [Continued from First I'age.] . ideas of city legislation to stop fore- ] stalling he told the councllmen he had not given enough thought to the legal )*irt of the question, except 1 that the present ordinance would ' prevent him from doing a large ' wholesale business to other dealers who then resold in the markets 1 produce which he brought there in such quantities that it would be Im possible for him to retail it. All Sides Dismissed Commissioner Burtnctt and Mr. ' Hartman engaged in a long discus sion of the local market situation, the position of the producer and the consumer, and the best method of keeping up the production, cutting the high cost and getting the food supplies to the consumer. Mr. Hartman told the commission ers that with the passage of the ordinance he would only be able to bring to market about one-third the produce supply he now brings, because ho will not be permitted to wholesale it for resale there. I will bring my entire supply | here for sale, but I can not take it all to the markets," Mr. Hartman explained. "I do not believe that this will cut down the supp'y of pro duce brought to Harrisburg, but it will cut the supply to the markets because there Is much whole; aling there. I think the city wants to get after the man or woman who buys a few chickens or other fcod and then taking it to a stand resells for higher prices. But I have farmers living near me who buy large quan tities of my produce to resell in market at the same retail price I charge. Retail and Wholesale "I could not sell at retail all the produce T bring to market. Recently! I brought 325 dozen ears of corn, | retailed about 75 dozen and sold the] balance to other dealers at whole-1 sale. Tt is all one man can do to! retail produce he brings to market in a one-horse wagon. "The mayor made a suggestion I that the public should know the! farmers and producers coming to] the markets and I think that would be a good plan. I want to do every thing I can to prevent more than one person coming between me and the consumer when I do not retail produce, because the more times it is sold the higher the price to this consumer and the lower tho price to j r.ie, "The reason prices are probably a little lower in Txincaster and York is because they have smaller papu lations and more one-horse farm wagons coming to market. Harris burg is a much larger city arid if I may use the expression it must have a food supply from commercial j growers." i. Markets Retail Centers Members of Council tohi Mr. Hart-' man that the city markets were in-; tended for retail puipores and not; as wholesale produce distributing; centers. They explained that tßej forestalling ordinanee does not pre-' xent a dealer from going to his farm ■ind inlying commodities to bring to Harrisburg to sell, and doej r.ot pre vent him from making ? contract at liis farm to sell and deliver pro duce anywhere in the city. Tt was a'so explained that ho could bring his produce to the city, retail as much vs he T.nid at market and after market hours dispose of !i to other dealers huving sitores l ore.

Attention was called to the practice of many grocers who go to market and buy at wholesale quantities of produce. The officials explained that the growers were not prohibitetl from selling their supplies to the grocers after market hours wher they could deliver it to the varlotl: 'stores. The ordinance which was passed to-day provides a penalty of not les; than $lO and not more tian tlOti fine or 30 days' imprisonment Mayor Koister immediately after council signed the measure which becomes effective in ten days. Its provisions are that no per sons, firms or corporations may buy or contract for any provisions while the supplies are on the way to the markets, intended for sale there, and may not dissuade any one from bringing the supplies to the markets. Tt prohibits persuading any one to raise the price of any provisions on- sale in the markets and forbids buying or contracting for any sup plies In any of the markets before or during market hours. Mr. Uhler during the meeting this morning explained that the ordi nance will not permit him to buy his supply of eggs at wholesale price In the markets, but will com pel him to pay a higher figure from a wholesaler, which will cause an increase In his retail price. Mr. McLaughlin, representing or ganized labor, at times made a number of inquiries about farming conditions and the sale of the food in quantities at retail.
