HOUSE TO ACT
ON RAILROAD AND
FOOD PROBLEMS
Party Leaders Predict Passing
of Daylight Over Presi
dent's Veto
Washington, Aug. 18. —In the next
ten days the attitude of the House
will be clearly expressed on the leg
islation recommended by President
Wilson in his high cost, of living
message and upon the railroad prob
lem which is allied indirectly with
the, economic situation. After the
House disposes of the President's
veto message on the repeal of the
daylight saving law, on Tuesday,
with a probability, according to lead
ers of both parties of overriding the
veto, the preparatory food legisla
tion will be brought before that body.
In the opinion of Representative
F. W. Mondell. Republican leader,
the House Committee on Agriculture
will report the amended food regula
tion hill to include provisions im
posing a fine of $.",(>00 en profiteers
and making wearing apparel subject
to the same art. He said that the
committee would not extend the act
beyond the war period and that in
its amended form it would lie opera
tive only until peace is formally pro
claimed.
Sentiment in the House and in the
Senate is against extending the fo id
control act. as recommended by
President Wilson, into peace times
tnd even in the Senate strong oppo
sition exists to giving the adminis
tration power to proceed against
manufacturers of clothing during the
peace period.
Oppose President's Suggestions
It is becoming fast apparent that
Republicans, witli many Democrats,
are opposed to most of tlie sugges
tions outlined in the President's mes
sage. In discussing the food situa
tion and tile high price level re
sponsible leaders says that the most
effective remedy against mounting
prices and strike troubles is the rati
fication of the Peace Treaty and a
return to normal trade conditions,
with the laws of supply and demand
operating, rather than the carrying
-if the war regulations into the peace
period. Such a program, they say,
merely sets up an artificial condi
tion, which postpones the natural
serious situation which is certain to
develop when the war regulations
cease, and when trade and industry
struggle to regain a peace footing.
It is the informal opinion of Lead
er Mondell that the storage situa
tion will be dealt with in a sane way.
that the Administration will be
given sufficient money to conduct in
vestigations and that these will be
.he sum total of remedial acts by
-ongress to aid in the economic re
adjustment. He is positive that the
House will pass the Dill to include
wearing apparel in the food regula
tion act for the peace period, and
thinks tiiat the Senate will lie forced
by public sentiment to withdraw its
present objections to the amended
bill.
Dr. Bagnell Preaches
in His Own Pulpit
The congregation which braved the
rain of a mid-summer Sunday morn
ing to attend the service at Grace
Methodist Church yesterday was
more than pleased to find the pastor,
:lie Rev. Dr. Robert Bagnell, in his
accustomeJ place. Home for the
weck-erd in the midst of his vaca
tion, the popular preacher delivered
a message of unusual power and sig
nificance. He told of Raul's troubles
In establishing the church at Corinth
and with this text from the Apostle's
appeal to the Greek Church;
"Be ye steadfast. immovable
always abounding in the work of
the Lotd, forasmuch as know that
your labor is not vain in the
Lord."
He emphasized the present-day need
for virile Christianity. Now 1. the
time when the world must have stead
fast men and women who cannot be
noved by the mistaken phil
osophies of tile period. People itt the
whirlwind'of profiteering, antagon
ist t '.atween vipittl and labor, and
Widespread unrest ; owing out of the
war inut kc.y tht'r fen firmly on
lite ground.
IT. Bagneil tepid feiMifv! adher
ence tc the fundamentals of the
teachings of Jesus Chris' and c-pec
ially impress ?d upon his hearers the
importance of al work within and
outside the church, pointing out that
people who arc busy in a useful way
have, no time for bickering or con
troversy or the tearing down of the
substantial things of life. "We have
done our shate," said he in conclu
sion in commenting upon the too
prevalent excuse of many individuals
that they had done their share —"we
have done our share when we have
given the limit of our resources, the
last atom of our strength and the
best we have in the performance of
our duty as Christian citizens."
Dr. Bagnell spoke with gratifica
tion of the satisfactory progress on
the remodeling of the church build
ing and predicted the work would be
finished within the lime agreed upon.

MONDAY EVENING,
WHEN CARNEGIE FAILED
TO BUILD A RAILROAD
South Perm's Only Monument Is Battered Old Piers Near
Reading Bridge; Big Sums Invested in the Project
There i one chapter in the life i
of the late Andrew Cranegie which !
has not been referred to in the long i
obituary notices published last week !
and which, if recalled, will be rc- i
membered by the older men ol' j
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New '
York, but will be new to all of the
younger generation. This relates to
his venture with the South Pennsyt
vania Railroad.
In his early years Mr. Carnegie ■
had been an employe of the Penu- '<
sylvania Railroad and a close friend j
of its chief officers. When he be- i
came a great steel maker he had ;
a different relation with the big !
transportation company, being an '
extensive receiver and shipper of
freight. As a large shipper he dal '
not. receive from the Pennsylvania ,
the accommodation to which no i
deemed he was entitled and other i
Pittsburgh men had grievances. So, S
Mr. Carnegie had his quarrel with '
the big men of the Pennsylvania. 1
Gossip used to have it that he did !
not obtain rebates equal to his dc- i
mands, but that may have been ;
true or false. Rebates, for which ;
the polite name was "overcharges,"
were common in those davs and
considered to be a part of any big!
business. It took an Interstate Com-.;
merce Commission to break up the i
practice in later years on the .
ground that it was discrimination
against unfavored shippers.
Carnegie's 1-Viends
Rut aside from this there was !
great restlessness in Pittsburgh bo- !
cause of the tight grasp which the \
Pennsylvania then had upon that j
project which was forever to free !
the citizens of Pennsylvania from j
the clutches of the exacting Penn- !
sylvania Railroad.
Ihe list of subscribers included I
some of Mr. Cnrengie's close Pitts- I
burgh friends, such as Oliver, !
Frick and Phipps and Jones, it
embraced some of the Standard Oil
crowd numbering Payne and Whit
ney and Stephen R. Klkins. Inter

R 01 " cent. of the I
sin,ooo,ooo subscribed was called in
and expended on the South Penn
sylvania projects. Rights of way I
were bought, piers, abutments and
bridges built, but no track was ever 1
laid.
To counter tlr's move on the part
of the Vanderhilts, the Pennsylva
nia, of which George R. Robert-'
was then at the head, began the I
construction of a railroad on the I

Letter From ex-Emperor
Hit Associated Press.
Budapest, Saturday, Aug. 16.
Archduke Joseph, head of the Hun
garian state, denied to-day that ho
had received a letter from former
Emperor Charles ns charged in dis
patches from Budapest to 2 Berlin
newspapers. The letter, it is al
leged, ordered the archduke to take
over the power in Hungary and
thanked him for his services to the
Hapsburg dynasty.
The letter, as published in Ber
lin, according to those familiar with
Hapsburg court documents, bears
the stamp of forgery.
It was pointed out to-day on be
half of Archduke Joseph, that the
archduke could not exercise the
powers of a sovereign but could act
only as regent for the interests of |
the former Emperor and his eldest
son. According to the law of suc
cession in Austria-Hungary, it is
said, no archduke can ascend the
throne while male descendant of a
king is alive or even if the king
has been banished.

I George B. Roberts unci Frank
Thomson, president and vice-presi
i dent of the Pennsylvania, aboard
| his yacht, and then sailed away to
' a point where the bluenfcss of the
i atmosphere would not engangcr
j Gotham. Mr. Morgun talked
■ "Dutch" to the railroad men and
the railroad opponents told each
other what they thought of their
; rivals and after all of these pleos
; antries it was finally agreed that the
; road now known as the West Shore
I should be turned over to the Van
| derbilts by the Pennsylvania, and
] that the Vanderbilts, Mr. Carnegie
1 and the others should in turn place
1 the South Pennsylvania, not in the
' hands of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, for that would be a di
rect violation of the laws of the
' great Commonwealth of Pennsylva--
j nia, for which the railroad mag-
I nates had very much respect.
No, that would not do, so it was
1 agreed to chase the devil around
' the stump and turn the South
| Pennsylvania over to the •Fennsyi
i vania Company, a subsidiary of the
j Pennsylvania Railroad, which it
i was thought could not bo consider
cd to be a rival and competing line
: and, therefore, the transaction.
would be "within the law."
- It happened that a gentleman
! named Cassady was the Attorney
. General of Pennsylvania at that
j time and Mr. Cassady had just
! enough Irish blood in his veins to
i love a fight. So he promptly insti
! tuted proceedings and obtained an
! injunction against the transfer of
| the South Pennsylvania to the Penn
j sylvania Railroad or to one of its
! handmaidens. And it goes without
| saying that the Irishman won.
Rut a little matter like an injunc
j tion did not materially interrupt the
| deal. Mr. Morgan obligingly came
' forward to act as a trustee and he
i put the remains of the South Penn
sylvania in his inside vest pocket,
from which they were never ex
tricated.
So the "South Penn," as it was
called for short, never even became
1 a streak of rust. It was simply a
! strip of right of way and some
masonry and so it remains to-day.
] Robert H. Sayre was its president.
At one time during a period when
' the project hung fire, Mr. Garrett,
of the Baltimore and Ohio, tried to
break into the game, promising to
take the South Pennsylvania into
Pittsburgh over the B. and 0., and
to give a traffic contract, but that
fell through.
Having things to itself the Penn-
I sylvania proceeded to make a great
trunk line between New Y'ork and
I Pittsburgh, and it has expended
| many millions .of dollars in im
provements. in double-tracking, in
bridges and tunnels until the road
to-day is of more than double its
capacity in 1885, when the "South
i Penn" project was at Its height

One of the most effective incidents
deals with a comparison of the rear

Judy, (Miss Pickford) tVie little girl
who, despite cruel treatment and bad
living conditions in the asylum, brings

from a dumping ground for old rub

court of Ran Cupid who sends forth
