Washington, Aug. 13.— Federal regulation of coUl storage of food was urged in the Senate to-day b> Senator McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, as a certain means of re ducing the cost of living and as the only remedy for "the most outrage ous piece of profiteering that can ho '"lpeakfng in support of his bill, first introduced in 1913 and now re introduced before the Senate llnter state Commerce subcommittee con sidering high cost of living recom mendations of President Wilson. Senator McKellar said it the b.l. had been passed in 1913 he felt sure the present conditions as to exces sive living cost would not exist. The meat packers were charged by the Tennessee Senator with using cold storage facilities to fix rr -Tt S is being used by the packers," he said, for the purpose of con trolling prices. As used by the pack ers, it preserves '" seasons of plent> and permits them to withhold such large quantities of foodstuffs from the market as to make a season of scarcity at any time thoy see fit. and thus they increase the puce to consuming public."

They are hi the hands of the most gigantic monopoly is in the wofld, he said. The P rl " , r the packers pay and the price at which they are sold is out of aj. proportion, and they never will come down until eggs are stamped and regulated." Present cold storage practices aloo are a menace to public health. Sen ator McKellar declared, asserting that meat and poultry often are held too long in storage. Chickens, he asserted, are killed and stored without removal of their heads and entrails, which conduce to quick putrefaction after they are taken from storage. COMMITTEE WILL SPEED UP ACTION [Continued from First Page.] said to have taken the position that any precipitate action would be im practicable. Ilitter Argument During the debate, which was in executive session, it was reported members bad a bitter argument. Sen ator Fall, Republican, declaring that Senator Hitchcock and others had questioned the motives of the Repub licans and made unfair reflections on the committoe's course. Senator Hitch cock was said to have replied with equal vigor. It was said Senator Hitchcock told the committee there was an increas ing demand in the Senate and throughout the country that the Treaty bo disposed of and that he ex pressed the belief that virtually every Senator already had made up his mind how he would vote. Senator Lodge is understood to have replied that he also favored action as soon us practicable, but that so far there had been no avoidable de lay In the Treaty's consideration. Senator Fall expressed the opinion that to hasten ratification would bo unwise, as settlements to which the Ttnited States would be asked to as sent still were to be determined in other treaties not yet in the hands of the Senate. il'he discussion in the committee was interpreted as related to the in sistance for action by the group of Republican Senators vho have agreed on a reservation program which they believe will have the ultimate assent of the Democratic, leaders. They also expect that in their plan they will have the co-operation also of Chair man Lodge.

SERVICE SAME - AS ON LINERS Hotel Plaza to Model Restau rant After Boat Plans; May Erect New Building An Innovation in restaurant serv ice will be introduced at the Hotel Plaza, by W. R. and M. It. Graupner, new proprietors. They have pur chased the interest of John Scliroth, former proprietor and have plans under way to make the Hotel Plaza one of the most fumous hostelries in this section of the State. Many changes are contemplated at the hotel with special plans for the res taurant service and probably cul minating in the erection of an en tirely new twelve-story hotel on the present site. The initial part of the program planned by the new proprietors calls for the introduction of the same res taurant service employed on the great trans-Atlantic passenger liners. A chef, formerly in charge of the service of one of the greatest ocean-going boats, has been em ployed and is planning to introduce this same high-class service. At the present time the new pro prietors have in their possession architect's plans calling for a new twelve-story structure on the site of the present Hotel Plaza. In discussing plans for the new hotel to-day, William R. Graupner, one of the new proprietors, stated-' that no definite time has been set for work to start on the new hotel. However, at the present time, some improvements, incident to the intro duction of the new steamship res taurant service, will be made and as soon as conditions warrant, work will start on the new hotel.

Hisses Pass Back and Forward at Conclusion of Senator Lodge's Attack on League of Nations Covenant asliington, Aug. 13. . The tra ditional decorum of Senate proceed ure was uptet yesterday by an un usual demonstration of approval from the galleries following an ad dress by Senator Lodge, of Massa ■ chusetts, chairman of the Foreign j Relations Committee, assailing pro | visions of the' League of Nations | covenant. For more than a minute the gal j lery spectators applauded and checr led in violation of the Senate rules, and then when order had been re , stores they interrupted with howls a nd hi;ses, a speech by Senator Wil j liams, Democrat, Mississippi, in re ply to Mr. Lodge. In spite of sharp | admonition from the chair thero were more hisses mingled with ap plause when Senator Hitchcock, Ne braska, seconded Senator Williams' speech. As Senator Lodge concluded his speech there broke out in the cham ber a demonstration declared to be unprecedented In the history of that legislative body. Aroused to a high state of patri otic fever by Senator Lodge, who closed a carefully prepared attack 011 the League of Nations covenant with a peroration on Americanism, the men and women who packed every gallery to the doors, rose and gave him three distinct volleys of applause, in violation of the rules of the Senate. Women gave Chautauqua salutes to the chairman of the Senate For eign Relations Committee; men clapped vigorously and several United States marines, members of the Second Division, who stopped the German drive at Chateau-Thierry and had been reviewed only a few hours before by President Wilson on the eve o( their demobilization, cheered and yelled. Marsliall Ignores Cheers Vice-President Marshall, contrary to his usual custom, made no at tempt to enforce the rules against demonstrations of any kind. As one wave of applause passed over, an other of even greater volume would thunder forth, and to on, time and again. As the third demonstration died down and Senator Lodge was surrounded by his colleagues, who clasped his hand and shook it vigor ously as they showered him with con gratulations, the presiding officer pounded his desk with the ivory mallet. Senator Williams, of Mississippi, who sat on the Republican side of the aisle and at the desk directly in front of Senator Lodge throughout the Massachusetts member's address was on his feet demanding recog nition. On a scrap of paper he had been making notes industriously on every point developed by the Re publican chairman. "T hesitate," said Senator Williams when he obtained recognition from the chair, "to answer the greatest prepared presentation of American selfishness ever uttered in this cham ber.,' These words quieted the gal leries and the floor of the Senate which had been in a state of chaos since _ the conclusion of Senator Lodge's speech. Men and women who had risen to go sat down again, but Senator Lodge retired to the Re publican cloakroom, followed by a number of his Senatorial admirers. "The Senator from Massachu setts," Senator Williams continued, "has been cogitating this for three months with a view of capturing the Senate and the galleries. This is not a new manifestation of the Senator from Massachusetts. He has always attempted to make a show of him self—" With the utterance of the last word, hisses broke out in every gal lery of the chamber. They were not isolated demonstrations. They were general, and they continued while the Vice-President rapped vainly for order. Senator Williams, a fiery Southerner by nature, stood silently in his place, looking toward REFUSE RAISE OF FIVE CENTS Pittsburgh Trolleymen Turn Down Award of War Labor Board Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 13. The five-cent-an-honr wage increase awarded 3,000 motormen and con ductors of the Pittsburgh Railways Company by the National War Labor Board yesterday will not be accepted by the men, according to a statement issued this afternoon by P. J. Ward, business agent of Division 85, Am-, ulgamated Association of Street and i Electric Railway Employes. The men demanded an increase of 12 cents an hour during the recent strike which was called off pending the War Board's decision. "It's rotten," declared Mr. Ward to-day, speaking of the War Board's award in New York yesterday. "The men will not stand for it and we are letting the public know it right away." Mr. Ward announced that the trol leymen would hold a meeting at the labor temple to-night at which form al action rejecting the award will be taken. He said the Pittsburgh motormen and conductors are un willing to work for a 53 cent maxi mum when similar men are getting 65 cents in Chicago and other cities. The present wage scale in Pitts burgh is 43, 46 and 48 cents an hour. The board's award would in crease it to 48, 51 and 53 cenls. In a long statement, issued to day, accepting the War Board's wage increase, C. A. Pagan, W. D. George and S. L. Tone, receivers for the Pittsburgh Railways Company, de clared that it probably will be neces sary to increase street car fares to meet the increase which they said would total 51,050,000. Pittsburgh since the first of Aug ust have been paying 10 cents cash fare and seven and a ha'f cents by tickets. This is the second raise in a year, the former being from five to seven cents. Back Broken in Fall From Railway Trestle Palling, to-day, from a trestle in I the Rutherford yards of the Phila delphia and Reading Railroad, Cornelius A. Lonkhart, Brick Church Road, Enola, is in the Harrlsburg Hospital, in a serious condition with a suspected fracture of the back. Lonkhart, who is 4 8 years old, was employed as a car repairman in the Ruthorfordyards. j the chair, and when the demon stration of disapproval had been hushed, the presiding officer said: "You have violated the rules of the Senate. You violated the rules when you applauded the Senator from Massachusetts, and you have violated them again now. Anv fur ther demonstration of approval or disapproval, will be followed by an order from me to clear the gallery. You ought to be ashamed of your selves." Never Equaled in History But the precedent-making demon stration was then a matter of his tory. Old attaches of the Capitol de clared that never in their long years of service had they ever witnessed anything that approached it. Sena tors discussed the affair with abso lute amazement. The most kindly suggestion made as a possible ex planation was that the galleries had been packed with anti-League spec tators. but in view of the fact that they were open to the public, this theory was not generally accepted. Senato? Williams continued, nevertheless, on'the same line of criticism. He asserted that years ago when the Force bill, intended to give to the negroes of the South the right to vote, was before the Senate, Senator Lodge then, as now, paid a high tribute to himself as be ing the only man devoted to Ameri canism and the United States. The speech of Senator Williams closed an eventful day In the Senate. By a strange coincidence just at the moment Senator Lodge said, "I have loved but one llag and I cannot share that devotion and give affec tion to the mongrel banner invented by the league," the light streamed through the skylight and the cham ber, which had been in semi-dark ness, was flooded with mellow gold. Lodge Pledges Americanism Just before this spectacular ef fect, Senator Lodge had declared. "You may call me selfish, if you want, conservative or reactionary, or use any other harsh adjective you see fit to apply, but an American I was born, an American I have re mained in life. I can never be any thing else but an American, and I must think of the United States first, and when I think of the United States first in an arrangement like this, I am thinking of what is best for the world, for if the Unified States fails the best hopes Harrisburg, fa. SOTHERN FEARS STAGE'S FUTURE Holds Situation More Tragic Than Public Has Any Idea New York, Aug. 13.— E. H. Soth ern, beloved of theatergoers throughout the United States, deep ly deplores the actors' strike, which, he fears, will have a disastrous ef fect upon his chosen profession. Dis cussing the situation arising from the controversy between the actors and managers, he said last night: "I was a member of the Actors' Equity Association, but I did not approve Of their tactics, so I resign ed. X am not a member of the Man agers' Producing Association, and, therefore, am an independent in this controversy. I have practically re tired from the stage, as I intend to give only a few performances next year. Therefore, I am in this af fair merely as one who loves his calling and does not wish to see anything harmful happen to it. "I deplore the strike terribly, for it is much more tragic than the public has any idea of. They think j it is amusing to see actors perform antics in front of the theaters, so they do not take seriously what is happening. But what is happening is that the fourth largest commer cial institution in the country is being ruined. The tragedy is that all this could have been prevented. TREATED FOR INJURIES Harry A. Reitinger, 53, of Hagers town, was treated at the Harrisburg Hospital yesterday for several cuts ] and abrasions about the face. He was injured when he fell on a pave ment. MOTHER NATURE CREATED BEST OF SYSTEM PURIFIERS "Nature created the fir.-est of medicines," noted physicians say. Roots, herbs, barks," berries and seeds have been famous for 100 | years for their special curative pow j ers. To try to improve on Nature's remedies would be like trying to whitewash a white rose to make it more beautiful. Nothing equals Nature's Dande lion root to regulate a torpid liver and increase the flow of purifying bile, physicians declare, or Gentian root, to invigorate digestion and moderately increase the force of blood circulation: Juniper Berries, to cleanse kidneys and bladder: S'arsaparilla root, to purify the blood. Peruvian Bark, to subdue fever ish conditions; Rhubarb root, to in vigorate the bowels; Jamaica Gi*ger root, to increase the flow of vital digestive juices and nourish the stomach blood supply; Linseed, to relax congestion throughout the di gestive tract. Prickly Ash Bark, for a languid, run-down system; Valerian root, to tone the nerves; Cascara Bark, to relieve chronic constipation . A noted chemist determined to combine these famous Nature reme dies so all would act together to cleanse, purify and invigorate, not one organ alone, but the entire di gestive tract—stomach, liver, kid neys and bowels. In that way he made Nature's sys tem purifier, tonic and builder to create better digestion, purer blood, real nerve vigor and bodily strength. He named his Nature medicine Naton-ex. Now, any man or woman who is headachy, constipated, bil ious, suffers with indgestion, is nervous, weak or run down, can ob tain Natonex from any good drug gist. They should begin this Na • tonex nature treatment at once. Natonex is inexpensive, and, to i insure accuracy, is placed in pre scription powders. Do not accept any pills, tablets or liquid instead of this chemist's dis covery, Insist on Natonex. i Natonex is specially recommend i ed in Harrisburg by the Gorgas i Drug Co., 16 North Third street, and ■ is sold by leading druggists every where. —Adv.
