Prin ciples of the Warfield plan, under which n minimum interest return of six per cent, of railroad securities would be guaranteed through a man datory adjustment of rates by the Interstate Commerce Commission were endorsed by fifty million per sons owning or directly interested in railroud securities "in a memorial I to Congress submitted to the House Interstate Commerce Committee to day by S. Davies Wat-Held, president of the National Association of Owners of ltajlroud Securities. Signers of the memorial num bered five thousand investing insti tutions, including savings bank, na tional and State banks, surety com panies, trust companies and life and tire insurance companies, and 8.1 S9 individual investors. The shipping public also was represented in the indorsement by lti municipal trade organizations with an estimated to tal membership of 30.000. Insur ance companies giving their indorse ments were said to represent 23,- 000,000 policyholders, while it was estimated that ,'.500,000 persons were represented bv savings banks. Want .Just Solution Mr. Warfield said the signers did not ask "the continuation of auto cratic railroud methods of the past, but a just and definite solution by ' the Congress of the most important problem now before the country." , Urging favorable consideration' by ' ongress of the remedial legislation ! proposed in the Warfield plan, the 1 memorial declared: "It is our conviction that the rail- , roads cannot avoid destruction anil i eventual Governmental absorption without a primary distributable re turn of not less than 6 per cent, as- ; sured upon the aggregate invest- i "ient. not through a Governmental i guarantee but through the exercise ''.v Congress of its duty to stop, by net, the knife of regulation short of i the heart ot the transportation sys- i tctn of the United States.

Fostering of unfair and prejudiced itivestiga | tions of army court-martial ptuc [ tiees through "packed" bodies of in quiry. were charged to Secretary Baker ami Judge Advocate General j Crowiler to-day ,l>\ Samuel T. An sell, former acting judge advocate general. I Resuming his statement hefo.e the Senate Millitury subcommittee, Mr. Ansell declared that the in quiries made hy the American Bar ; Association Committee, Inspector General Chamberlain and the Army tribunal headed hy Major Genera! Kernan, were "biased" and Iliat J recommendations in favor of the existing court-martial proceduto were a foregone conclusion. Desperate Efforts "They indicate the desperate ef • forts of the War Department to i holster up the present system," he said. The American Bar Association j Committee, Mr. Ansell asserted, j "was hand picked" and "stacked" witli men known to support the po i sition of Mr. Baker and General i Crowder. Its investigation, lie said, i "was unfair" and was closed with out calling any of a long list o. witnesses he suggested. Army oi ticers testifying in support of the present system, he added, had their expenses to \yushington paid while witnesses, he suggested, were warned that they would have to pay their own way and then were not given an opportunity to testify. "If Secretary Baker designedly sought to appoint a most reaction ary committee ho could not have mproved upon his selection." l.e said, referring to the Kernan board. Because he regarded the board a.< prejudiced, he did not submit his ' views on military justice reform--. 1 The board's report, he added, made > statements in defense of existing army court practices which tlie War Department previously "was afraid to make." and it was approved "mi j toto" hy Secretary Baker. Menace anil Threat The witness told the committer | lie also refused to co-operate with I the investigation of "Inspector Get ! eral Chamberlan because he believed the inquiry would iie prejudiced. ! When he declined to participate, lie i was told by the Inspector General j he said that a report would be made ! to Congress that would "be ver detrimental" to Ansell. ! This statement by General Cham berlain, he characterized as a "mild ! third degree, a menace and a ! threat." j Mr. Ansell said liis charges of j obstruction by War Department of | ficials of It is effort to form court martial practices had been mism 1' tcrpreted.

More ! than a thousand Kiwanians front , nineteen cities took llershey Park by storm yesterday and after the ' capture proceeded to make merry at | a big intercity picnic. Front Pittsburgh to Wilmington i tlie Kiwanis flub members canie for la day's outing at tlie play spot in the home tpwn of the "ohoeolate ; 1 king." lint tlie crowds didn't stay j in the tow n more than two minutes ' after they arrived. Right to the I park tlie throngs swarmed from train, trolley and automobile. The Harrisburg delegation went , to llershey in autos leaving the city in the morning. Kiwanians from ; other cities came by auto and trol- 1 i ley during the eaily afternoon, j swelling the big crowd. Johnstown. , | Altoona, Reading. York, Lancaster, Erie, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Kaston, | Wilkes-liarre, Scranton. Chester, I j Philadelphia. Muncy, Wllliamsport, ! 1 Pottsville and Wilmington, Del., j i were some of the cities represented. "Just Right" The Municipal Band, of Harris j burg, arrived in the morning with I thP club from the city, and during , tlie entire day furnished plenty of catchy numbers for marching or i impromptu concerts while the prize j contests were on. ' Every Klwnninn at the park de- I clared that the day started off just j right. Buffet luncheon was the j start and -they all displayed that the I cases of poor appetites in the crowd | wore very few. A sort of "ge together" and "my ; | name's Jones, glad to see you hero i Smith" spirit followed with the | members of the vnrous clubs gath i ering in front of the restaurant in ! groups and enjoying outburts of | song and cheers. Things A-Stirring i' "Charlie" Schmidt, of the Harris- I burg club, was everywhere stirring i up things. At times he was hard jto see because of the big megu i phone and the green fireman's hat i he carried, also the motion picture | camera. Between the three and ; keeping things moving at the picnic "Charlie" had an awful time of it. I He was so busy lie couldn't get in i the fat mail's race, and then to add i to liis troubles some one wanted to I het hint he didn't have any film in j ! liis camera. But "Charlie" knew better and the other fellow backed I out on the bet. "Charlie," in fact, made himself so popular with the crowd that a I secret meeting was called at the i end of tlie swimming pool and he I was voted the best picnic organizer tin Pennsylvania and Honolulu. For j | which honor he was given a prize— ; i a fine fishing reel and line. He made a brief speech of acceptance j and told the folks if they hadn't , given him the prize he would have ' "swiped" it. From present indications, (as po- [ litical writers would say) it appears ' that a public accountant or a United j States census taker may be employ- | I od to determine which city wins the j j prize for having the largest attend- i ance. A Kiwanis banner is to be j giv en for the honor and Iginrnstor , and Reading are the contenders. An ' . official count will he necessary and the result will he announced later. The Best I/OOker Roe Fulkerson. editor of the Ki- ! 1 wanis Torch, and the speaker at t : the dinner at 6.30 o'clock, was ; voted the best looking man and re | ceived a gold .cigaret ease as a prize, j 1 Pliny Wilson, of Johnstown, (lis- ( | trict Kiwanis governor in the State, ! was voted the most popular man, • . and received a handsome seftrf pin j I as a prize. "Doc" Harry B. Walter, well \ , known physician in Harrisburg, was | the oldest Kiwanian present and re- j ceived a fountain pen. Mr. Fulkerson and Mr. Wilson ' i were the speakers at the dinner in j the evening, which was full of Ki > wanis pep, and there were songs I and much cheering to help make i everybody feel glad. The business | men. their families and friends, who came from all parts of the State, say | they never enjoyed anything quite |so much as the big dinner. Dancing ! followed in the evening. Lieutenant James F. Winston had I charge of the contest program in 1 the afternoon. "Bob" Fox, whose i spare moments are spent practicing | law and being assistant district at j torney. and Harry Perkins, busy I buyer for Bowman and Com ! pany. kept track of the winners i and the awarding of the prizes. A. IJ. Sinims also helped "keep the j course clear" and grabbed tlie win ners before they were carried off ] by enthusiastic friends.

II Lee Reneberg, York, won the fat j men's race. He is secretary of the - I York club and about as popular as can be found in the city just south 1 of Harrisburg. J. William Chew, of Chester, won the surprise contest s for men, which means that he was C the first to drink about a half pint of milk from a baby's bottle. Mrs. Irving E.
