MANY APPROVE
WARFIELD PLAN
Fifty Million Approve Princi
ples Which Would Fix Maxi
mum Returns at 0 Per Cent.
Hit Associat- (/ Vi.iv
Washington. Aug. 29. 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.
Rc>|Hinsibilit> on Congress
"The responsibility for the existing
system and the duty of consenting
te.msportafjon in America rests upon
the Congress. Tile Interstate Com
merce Commission lias not the power
and cannot, consistently with the
constitution be charged with the |
responsibility of determining fun- '
damental questions of public policy. ;
YV e appeal to this Congress to ilis- [
i aarge its duty by* the only possible \
methods. The first requisite is a !
mandatory declaration that the
power of regulation shall not he
employed so as to depress net oper
ating income below the level which
experience has shown to be neces-
Fa ry to sustain the carriers.
"The legislation proposed is based
on the necessity tliat Congress shall
by law recognize a minimum per
centage return on the aggregate in
\ ostment as a necessary limitation
upon its delegation of rate-making
power to the Interstate Commerce
Commission and shall by law en
al le that commission to coniplv with
the duty to conserve transportation ■
in America."

HAND-PICKED
MEN ON JURY
Ansell Charges Fostering of
I'nfair and Prejudiced
Investigations
fill Associated Petss.
f Washington. Aug. 29. 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

1' tcrpreted. He did not mean to in

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
KIWANIS CLUB HAD
FULL DAY OF SPORT
Many Visitors Entertained in Royal Fashion at the Annual •
Outing of Businessm en's Organization
Hersltey, Pa., Aug. 28. 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.
Hard to Whistle
i Ilenry Leroy, won the
| 50-yard dash for men and L. S.
■ Kauffman, Harrisburg. was second,
j R. A. Warner,'Harrisburg, was the
l first one to ffmsli eating a cracker
! and whistle. About sixty participat
-; ed in the cracker contest and the
I attempts to whistle after they finish
.j ed eating were far bettor than
Chaplin's comedy trieks.
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. Robinson won the surprise
contest for women.
b W. R. Davis. Johnstown, was first
and C. S. Conrad, l-aneaster,. second
- in the dizzy-izzy race for men. an
other laughable contest. Mr. Davis
• said he didn't get dizzy because he
is accustomed to running around the
* | hills at Johnstown. They almost
disqualified him for telling his sec
' | ret. Mrs. Robinson won the dizzy
< l izzy race for women with Mrs. D. E.
• Reinard, Harrisburg, second,
t • Miss Porter won the 25-yard dash
for men and Miss Margaret Eman
uel was second; Miss Katherine
(Emanuel won the women's shoe !
contest and Miss Porter was second; i
I C. R. Beckley, Harrisburg, won the j
cigar contest, which he said lie en
tered just to get a smoke, and W. '
L. Garland. Harrisburg, was second.
Winners of the swimming vv'ere Miss
Ann Emanuel, first, and Miss Gene j
Springer, second.
Miss Robinson, daughter of Ir
ving E. Robinson, was the winner j
in the kite flying contest. Reading i
defeated the Chester team in the
seven-inning ball game, 9 to 3. '

j TWENTY THOUSAND TRUCKS
j TO BE GIVEN TO THE STATES
| Twenty thousand trucks, found
j useless to the war department, are
j to be given away by the secretary of
! agriculture to the highway depart

j have only to pay loading and freight
charges to acquire the machines,

000 are new and 9000 have been
used. All are in serviceable con
dition. The capacity of the trucks

Washington. D. C.. Aug. 29.
Arrangements for the sale of all sur
plus Army property In France to

This will mean the disposal of all

The terms of the sale provide that
