4 TO VIGOROUSLY PROSECUTE ALL FOOD HOARDERS Palmer in Conference With Kane at Philadelphia Pre dicts Drop of Prices By Associated Press. Philadelphia, Aug. 15. Attorney General Palmer after a conference here to-day with United States Dis trict Attorney Kane issued a state ment promising vigorous prosecu tions of all food profiteers, large or small. "As a result of the action con sidered to-day," said Mr. Palmer, "the price of food in Philadelphia will be decreased to a marked extent within a short time." The Lever bill will be made ap plicable to the smallest retailer by Congress within a week. A severe penalty will be attached to the bill, which will make it dangerous busi ness for the small dealer to charge prices. ' Wants Results Before the conference Mr. Palmer said it had come to his attention that immense quantities of food stuffs are being held in storage in Philadelphia and nearby cities. This, he explained, is one of the reasons for his visit. "Every State in the union is co operating with Washington in the high cost of living probe," said Mr. Palmer. "This is a vital question and I want to know what has been done in Philadelphia. We want to get results here the same as we have gotten from dozens of other States and cities. It will not be dif ficult to bring about the release of hoarded good and to punish every one guilty of violations of the law. "The various States will have to take up the rent profiteering ques- , tion. We are regulating the evil in Washington and we hope to estab lish a "just system shortly which all the States can use as a model. Cases have come to my attention where the rentals have jumped 150 per cent, over night, even though the cost of maintaining the property had not increased. Conditions are bad throughout the country, I am informed, but there is no relief for tenants through Federal action. It must he done by the individual States."

FRIDAY EVENCNG, FAIR VALUATION ONLY RATE BASIS AINEY DECLARES Public Service Commissioner, Before Electric Body, Says Public Doubts Companies By Associated Press. Washington, Aug. 15. Street railway companies in presenting their arguments for increased fares to meet advanced costs of operation must convince the public as well as the regulatory commission, the Fed eral Electric Railways Commission was told to-day by Chairman Wil liam D. B. Ainey, of the Pennsyl vania Public Service Commission. It was not sufficient, he said, that a showing should be made of the ris ing costs of operation alone. State and municipal authorities might heed that showing and order increased fares in.vain, the witness testified, if the people exercised their "veto power" of denying patronage to the lines at Increased rates. Chairman Ainey insisted that the •companies should "set their houses in order" and come before the pub lic with a definite project. The public fears that there is much over-capitalization and much poor management involved in the difficul ties of the companies, he added and until the people have received as surances that these situations have been cleared up, it is not to be ex pected that they will look favorably upon increased fares. Fair valuation of the properties, Mr. Ainey said, is the only sound basis for rate-making and he ex pressed confidence that the people were fair-minded enough to pay rates on that basis no matter what they might be. Troops Man City Walls to Suppress Demonstrations By Associated Press. X Londonderry, Ireland, Aug. 15. — Troops manned the walls of Lon donderry to-day, for the first time since the historic siege of the city inn 1689, as part of the military ef fort to prevent the Nationalist and Sinn Fein "Lady Day" demonstra tion and prosecution ste for to-day. The demonstration has been for bidden by the British commander, General Hackett-Pain. Orangemen and Unionists, it is said, have declared their demon stration not to permit the holding of the parade, which they termed anti-British.

Aug. 15. —"Rotten," wad the comment of Havelock Wilson, president of the International Sea men's Union, on the forthcoming trip of Arthur Henderson, the labor leader, to America with a view to helping in rhe establishment of a labor party in the United States. "If American labor is misted nd forms a political party," 3*id Wil son, "they will doubtless find that like the British trades unionists, they have injured their own cause and thereby become tool 3 of self seeking politicians. "The British trade unionists found that their moneys often were devoted to purposes with which the majority does not sympathize. Knowing what I do, I think the best advice to the American workmen is to stay out of politics as a labor party, which would simply divide the American trade unionists." Arthur Henderson, when asked how large an element of American labor invited him and who was fi nancing his trip, refused to answer. SAYS DEATH ACCIDENTAL Mrs. H. L.

EABRISBURO (Mtl TELEGRXPS PHONOGRAPHS TO BE USED IN NEXT CAMPAIGN Both Republican and Demo cratic Parties Will Operate Them Now York, August 15.—Phono graphs will be used by both the Republican and Democratic parties in the approaching presidential cam paign, it is announced, the plan em bracing a program which will per mit the residents of small towns and remote hamlets to hear the speeches of eminent orators at the same time that the records are released in the large cities. The phonographic campaign will be opened on September 1, when re cords containing utterances by At torney General Palmer, speaking for the Democrats, and others register ing the speech of United States Sen ator Lodge, voicing the sentiments of the Republicans, will be released. These speeches will be reproduced at clubs, societies' headquarters, churches, noonday meetings aad in the homes of the party workers. Following the release of the speeches of Attorney General Pal mer and Senator Lodge, other re cords will be distributed monthly and it is expected that the meeting places and homes throughout the country will fairly echo and re-echo with the words of the orators as conveyed by means of talking ma chines. The extent of the part which phonographs may play in the cam paign can be estimated by the state ment that two manufacturers of the machines are known to have more than 2,000,000 phonographs in use in the United States. Among the speakers scheduled for phonograph oratory by the Demo cratic National Committee are Presi dent Wilson, Secretary of War Bak er, Secretary of the Navy Daniels, former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and William J. Bryan. Former President Taft, Major General Wood, Elihu Hoot, Chaun cey M. Depew and United States Sen ators Johnson and Borah are on the list of speakers chosen for talk ing machine oratory by the Repub lican National Committee, Scientific Discussions By Garrett P. Scrviss When we see a mighty warship, or a huge Atlantic liner, moving majestically through the water at a speed of many miles an hour, throwing aside great waves from its bow, and piercing like a projectile through vast ocean billows, we get the impression of a practical solid body driven onward with resistless force, and itself capable of with standing a greater shock than it would inflict u|>on an obstacle in its path. But this impression is instantly dissipated when such a vessel en countered, say an iceberg, as hap pened seven years ago to the ill fated Titanic, and, again, to the steamer Grampian. In one case the side, in the other t/ie bow, of the ship was caved in like an egg shell, and in both cases hundreds of the people on board were so little disturbed by the shock that they were afterward astonished to learn of the disaster that had really happened. Members of the creW were crushed to death in the wreck of the forward part of the Grampian, where the stem of the ship was driven back into the hull nearly forty feet, and yet the occupants of the smoking room felt the blow so slightly that they were not stirred from their seats. On the Titanic people unconscious of dan ger played cards after the great vessel had received its death-blow. For the physicist, calculating the forces at play in such an accident, there is something of the pleasure of the sportsman noting the effects of his shot without considering the suffering or death inflicted. But any one may derive advantage from a study of the laws that govern these blind and, on occasion, calamitous forces. From an understanding of their workings one may be able to choose the way to safety. Take the ordinary case of a collision of ve hicles, where the most common im pulse is to pump out, although to follow the bidding of this impulse may be the strongest invitation to serious injury or death. Every moving body possesses a certain amount of kinetic energy, and if the body is arrested this energy must be disposed of some how. If the motion is slowly and gradually arrested the energy will be dissipated without producing any violent effects, but if the stop page of the motion is sudden, or instantaneous, a disaster may be the result. In other words, the kinetic en ergy of a moving body may either do a certain amount of quiet, use ful work, or it may cause a smash, according to the manner in which it is expended. The man who jumps from a run away car carries with him the kinetic energy which the motion on the car has imparted to him, ajid when he strikes the earth his i body must endure all the stresses put upon it in the sudden dissipa tion of the arrested enegry. But if he remains in the car a part only of the latter may be smashed by a series of shocks, which will furnish all the "work" needed to take up the released energy, while the passenger escapes with little or no injury. The facts concerning kinetic en ergy look more formidable when put into figures. Thus, a man weighing 200 pounds, moving at n speed of 60 feet per second (40 miles an hour), has stored up in his body an amount of kinetic energy equal to 11,250 foot-pounds, and if the motion is arrested in one second he will have to dispose, as best he can, of the 20% untamable horsepower that he carries. Going back to the steamer Grampian running against an ice berg and having her whole for ward part smashed and her stem driven forty feet backward, while passengers in the center of the ship were hardly disturbed at all, we see that the safety of the latter arose from the fact that the kine tic energy of the blow was used up in the destruction wrought near the bow, the fore frame of the ship yielding, and thus serv ing as a cushion to take up the shock. But if the ship had been as rigid as such a vessel looks to the eye, the force of the blow would have sent everybody tumbling, from stem to stern. James Verne had the right principle in mind when in his "Voyage to the Moon," hav ing to contrive a way by which the passengers in the projectile to be shot from the 900-foot gun could escape injury from the tre mendous shock, he Imagined a series of cushioned partitions in the projectile to use up the energy, lit tle by little.
