MAY RETURN TO PARIS IF TREATY IS AMENDED President Would Straighten Out Points Raised by Senate Washington, Aug. 25.—The possi bility of President Wilson's return to Paris to straighten out the points raised by any Senate qualifications in the Peace Treaty is one which some Senators say would be entirely in line with his course thus far in the peace settlement To send an entirely new set of peace delegates also would be admit tedly within the President's power, and in this connection Republican Senators frequently have mentioned Senator Hitchcock's statement that the President laughingly suggested Senators Lodge and Knox as possible selections to negotiate a new treaty should the present one be amended. That the President might permit the negotiations to stand in a dead lock by declining to take up with other governments any changes sug gested by the Senate involves per haps the most interesting possibili ties of all. Administration leaders repeatedly have declared that the President alone was charged with the negotia tion of treaties and that the whole history of treaty making showed he could halt any such negotiation at any step he desired prior to the ex change of ratifications The Senate, these leaders have asserted, would be absolutely powerless to interfere, its authority under the constitution be ing limited to giving advice and con sent to the acts of the executive. How far President Wilson may go in his fight for unqualified Senate ac ceptance of the Peace Treaty is a subject of increasing speculation in official and diplomatic circles. With the group of reservation Re publicans apparently determined to write their qualifications of the League of Nations covenant into the ratification itself, and with Republi can leaders predicting thatthe Sen ate will amend outright the Shan tung provision and perhaps other sec tions of the treaty, an interesting set of possibilities present themselves. There has been no authoritative ex pression of the President's probable course should the treaty bo returned to htm with textual amendments or reservations written into the ratifica tion. He told the Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday, however, that he would consider either method of qualification as tantamount to re opening negotiations with Germany. Germany Does Not Want Allied Troops to Police Silesia By Associated Press. Parts, August 25.—Germany has de clined to invite Allied troops to po lice Silesia before they have that right under the Treaty, which stipu lates that they are to safeguard the plebiscite there. The Silesian situ ation is unsatifactory. and the Ger mans are reported to be bringing about a recrudescence of the recent reign of terror in that province. The question of sending Allied troops to Silesia came before the Su preme Council Saturday, dispatches indicating Germany was being sound ed on her willingness to permit for eign troops to enter the district for police purposes before ratification of the Peace Treaty. Germany has ratified the Treaty, but of the great Allied powers only Great Britain, so far has ratified it. The Treaty provides that it shall be come effective when three of the great powers have ratified it.

Photo by Roshon REPORT ASKED ON LIGHTS NOT BURNING IN CITY # Automobile Hits Pole and Hill Is Without Illumination For Several Hours Commissioner S. F. Hassler and City Electrician Clark E. DiehPto day urged all residents of the city when they notice any street lights out at night, to report them to po lice headquarters. Broken globes, or other damage to the lights caused by any accident should be reported also. By co-operating with the city much of the present trouble with the lighting system can be remedied, these officials said, because the Har risburg Light and Power Company is notified regularly each night about the locations of lights not burning. On Saturday night when an au tomobile ran into a pole in Shrub street, in Allison Hill, the light was smashed and the circuit was broken, with the result that the entire sec tion was without lights from 9 to 1 o'clock. About that time light company men located the trouble after touring over the entire district testing scores of lights. Within twenty minutes the break was re paired. If it had been reported as soon as the accident occurred hours of search would have been avoided and the section of the city would have been lighted. The same thing occurred in North Seventh street, and it took hours to locate the light which had caused the break in the circuit. While city patrolmen report out rages as soon as they see them there are lights in the city which go out after the officers have passed that section and sometimes these are not burhing foj: almost an hour before a report is received, the officials claim. Prompt reports of outages by residents will be a big belp in providing better lighting, Dr. Hassler said. GAME POSTPONED Philadelphia. Aug. 25. Phila delphia-Cincinnati, first game, post poned, rain. INTERPRETATION OF SCHOOL ACT Department of Public Instruc tion Gives Points Concern ing Salary Increases Suggestions for the guidance of School Boards in the interpreting the recent act of Legislature, increas ing teachers' salaries follows: I. The lowest salary that may be paid to any regularly employed teacher for the school year 1919- 1920 falls into one of three classes. (a) Teachers holding provisional certificates shall not receive less than sixty dollars ($60.00), per school month. (b) Teachers holding profes sional certificates or State Normal School certificates (two-year cer tificates), shall not receive less than seventy dollars ($70.00), per school month. (c) Teachers holding State Nor mal School diplomas, county per manent certificates, State perman ent certificates or college provisional certificates shall not receive less than eighty dollars ($80.00), per school month. XL The law makes no provision for the payment of increases in the salary of those teachers who hold only provisional certificates. Their salaries are regulated by clause one (1) of the Act relating to the mini mum. 111. The minimum that may be paid to any teacher is fixed by the grade of certificate that the teacher holds at the time her service begins and the increase is determined on the basis of the salary paid to such teacher in the district during the year. 1918-1919. IV. When a local board employs a teacher who has been in the em ploy of the board of another district the following considerations should obtain in fixing the salary and in crease: (a) The salary schedule of the local district for the year 1918-1919 together with the certificate that the teacher now holds are the controlling factors. <b) Where the salary paid to a teacher who was employed in a dis trict for the year 1918-1919 is in advance of the schedule of salaries in the district for which she is or iwill be employed for 1919-1920, the HXRRJSBTTRG UjsSßlt TEEEGRXPH Board of School Directors of the latter district should make as equit able an adjustment of such salary with the teacher as will be consistent with her qualifications and the im portance of the position in the sys tem of the local district in which she is to teach. V. The two grades of special certificates are classified as follows: (a) Temporary special certific ates are classed with professional certificates or State Normal School cirtificates (two-year certificates). (b) Permanent special certific ates are classed with State Normal School diplomas, county permanent certificates, State permanent cer tificates and college provisional cer tificates. VI. The Act does not make any provision for the increase of salaries for part-time teachers. Proportion ate increases ought to be made; but action in this matter is clearly within the province of the local board. The State makes no contri bution to such increases. VII. Clause two (2) of the Act specifically indicates that the basis upon which the increases for the year 1919-1920 are to be made in the salary list that prevailed in the district for the school year 1918- 1919 and also the grade of certificate that, the teacher holcjs when such certificate is above the grade of a provisional. VIII. All one-room schools situ ated outside of cities are definitely classed as "rural"; others may be so classed by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction after conside ration of the facts relating to loca tion and environment. IX. The Commonwealth makes appropriations toward the salaries of teachers as follows: (a) For teachers holding provi sional certificates teaching in rural schools, ten dollars ($10) per school month. (b) For teachers holding pro visional certificates teaching in oth er than rural schools, five dollars ($5) per school month. (c) For teachers holding pro fessional certificates or State Nor mal certificates (two-year certifi cates) twelve dollars and fifty cents ($12.50) per school rrionth. (d) For teachers holding State Normal diplomas, county perma nent certificates. State permanent certificates or college provisional certificates, twenty dollars (S2O) per school month. X. Teachers who were not in service last year (1918-1919) are held to be in the class with "new entrants." They can only claim the minimum. XI. The law does not cover the case of substitute teachers or teach ers temporarily employed. In such instances salaries and increases are to be determined on the merits of the particular case. XII. Teachers or principals whose salary is paid for twelve months receive the increase on the basis of the school month. The monthly salary is determined by dividing the annual salary by the number of months fixed by the board as the. school year. XIII. Salary for the year 1918- 1919 is held to include so-called bonuses or additional pay. Clause seven (7) of the act uses the term compensation. XIV. Teaching in a "rural" school entitles the teached who holds a certificate higher than a provisional to five dollars ($5.00) per month over and above what the district pays. It is a specific contribution by the Commonwealth to each teacher who qualifies in such a position. XV. Where teachers were tem porarily employed in advance posi tions in a district during 1918-1919; and where such teachers either on their otvn account or for the good of the service are changed to posi tions paying less salary than the temporary employment afforded, the board of school directors should make as equitable an adjustment of the matter as is consistent with the merjts of the case. - VOTERS TO PASS ON $490,000 IN LOANS [Continued from First Page.] State street, it was decided that the city's share of the cost could be [met with the $300,000 provided a ! transfer of the money for that pur posed is approved by the voters. The other three proposed loans are: $50,000 to pay for paving street intersections and in front of non assessable properties such as I churches, schools and hospitals, $40,000 to provide for bath houses and bathing beaches, and SIOO,OOO for the construction of sewers in the Thirteenth and Tenth wards. Suggest Three Pools When the ordinance directing a vote on the loan for bathing facili ties was read Commissioner Lynch suggested that if possible a pool should be provided for the Alliso i Hill district. Mayor Keister said he thought the bast plan would be to provide bath Wouses and swim ming places for the hill, central part of the city and uptown district. According to city officials tho money for paving intersections is needed as there are no funds now for the work, and i nsome of the outlying districts many houses are being erected and some of the high ways must be paved. Plan Trunk Sewers With the money which will bo available if the loan for sewers Is approved by the voters, it is pro posed to construct trunk sewers to provide drainage for the section of the city east of Twenty-first and Derry streets, the Tenth ward m the vicinity of Schuylkill street and the northern part of the city be yond Herr and east of Thirteenth street. The Commissioners also passed finally the ordinance permitting the Western Union company to lay under ground ducts through the doyvn , town district to Puxton street and WEST END REPUBLICANS OPEN HANDSOME CLUB HOUSE BSL Saturday was Republican Day. One of the many big celebrations in which the stalwarts particiDated on Saturday was the opening of the handsome new clubhouse of the West End Republican Club, near Wild wood Park and along the road to Linglestown. This handsome structure was completed early last week and put in shape for the big time. It cost $7,000 and is an up-to-date structure. Ber.-g in close proximity to the Rockville trolley line, members can go and come at any time. Upwards of 500 attended the opening on Saturday and remained over the weekend. Sunday was another big day, many visitors registering. It is an ideal location for a clubhouse of this kind. The program included a warm welcome for all visitors, music, eats and other special features. Included among those in attendance were city officials and a number of candidates. The committee on entertainment made it pleasant for very body and announced that a series of entertainments would be held during the fall and winter months. east in Paxton street to the city line. When this is completed and cables have been laid hundreds of poles will be taken down by the telegraph company. In a letter to Commissioner Hass ler, which he presented to Council, City Electrician Clark E. Diehl ex plained his plans for instaling a better system for telephone calls for fire apparatus. This is made pos sible by the transfer of police head quarters and the removal of the fire and police alarm systems to the Fager school building in Walnut street Direct Connection At present when a telephone call is received at police headquarters for fire apparatus, the desk officer must call a company in the vicinity of the fire to respond, using the city telephone system. By the new ar rangement all the fire companies with the exception of the Good Will, Reily and Camp Curtin, will be con nected through the underground cable lines direct with police head quarters by telephone. In the fu ture when a phone call for apparatus is received at headquarters, by touching a button the desk officer can communicate direct with the company and save much time. Mem bers of Council approved the plan, and the new system will be in op eratidn in a few weeks. SEES FURTHER RAISE IN COSTS BY BILL [Continued from First Page.] Trade Commission which are satur ated with glaring inaccuracies and misstatements. be seri ous enough but the matter does not rest there, because the bill, if passed, will further inflate the al ready high cost of living." "Elemental facts in the meat business," he said, "prove that the packer profit on meat transactions was about two cents on a dollar. "The Kenyon bill must either in terfere with the farmers' end of meat production, or with the pack ers' part of the business, if design ed to affect the high cost of living. If the farmer is hit he will cut down production which will bring higher slock prices. If the packer is hil and his business crippled, the re sult will be higher manufacturing cqste and these, too, will have to bi passed on." No Stores in England Mr. Weld paid his respects to Commissioner Colver, of the Trade Commission, a previous witness re marking that "many of his state ments here were exaggerated and inaccurate." Swift & Company owned no retail stores in England, and Mr. Weld said he had been unable to find that any other Amer ican packer did so. "Mr. Colver came in here and told you gentlemen that the five large packers controlled over sev enty-five per cent, of the business in hides," he continued. "They handle less than fifty per cent., and I as sure you there is the keenest com petition between all of them. Ignores Number of Concerns "Mr. Colver made the flat state ment that the packers have not put any new capital Into the business from outside sources since 1904. Swift & Company alone has added $85,000,000 new cash capital from sales of shares. Mr. Colver persist ently Ignored the number of pack ing concerns in business in this, country. Some 235 concerns are en gaged in Interstate business besides the big packers, and moreover sev eral hundred concerns do a big lo cal and intrastate business. "If the Kenyon bill is passed the splendid and elaborate service given the country at large by the big packers will be interfered with in e. way that will hurt, everybody con cerned, producers, packers and con sumers." AUTO IS DAMAGED The automobile of J. K. White. 2421 North Front street, was badly wrecked yesterday at Carlisle in a collision with another automobile. No person was hurt. CITY LINES UP FOR DAYLIGHT [Continued from First Page.] of daylight ire this State. And we further petition Congress to recon sider its action in repealing this highly commendable law. Boon For Workers In herewith signing our names to the petition we set forth these reasons: That daylight saving is wholly beneficial to the working People of this city and all other towns; that it gives them ample time to work their -horrte gardens ire the evenings; that it gives them time Yn e / , ' entnf? baseball games, which will have to be abandoned if some arrangement cannot be made for a continuation of the daylight-saving system; that it gives men time and opportunity for evening outings with their families; that it saves them an hour's electric light - gas bill every day. and that from every viewpoint it makes for better and cheaper liv ing conditions. In support of which we do here_ unto set our hands and seals, with the request that these petitions be given the widest publicity and that they be laid before the various or ganizations and individuals to whom they are addressed." Twofold Purpose The petitions will serve a twofold purpose. They will show Council men and the Mayor the trend of opinion ire the city and also will en list the aid of employers. In the main, the employers of consequence are only too willing to make work ing conditions as pleasant as pos sible for their men. Supporters of the proposed ordinance believe that in every instance where employers are petitioned by their mein they will end their influence to getting favorable action. A movement will be gotten under way, it was said, to have n similar campaign started in Steel ton. The many thousand em ployes of the big Bethlehem Steel Company plant at Steelton are di vided between Harrisburg and Steelton. With that progressive borough working hand in hand with Harrisburg. there will be no possi billt yof conflict. Many of the smaller boroughs, such as the West Shore towns, Penbrook, Progre'sh, Hummelstown, Paxtang and others, also are said to be preparing to take Harrlsburg's lead. This will be a big a&l in getting the full support of the traction companies in operat ing under a daylight-saving sched ule. RUMORS DISSIPATED Paris, Saturday, Aug, 23, —.
