Think how pleasant your New
York visit can be if you live at
Hotel Pennsylvania:
THERE'S THE unusual comfort—and the
unusual beauty—of the hotel, for one thing.
It's more than luxury; comfort and good taste are
the outstanding qualities of the Pennsylvania—as
anybody who has been a guest there will tell you.
The convenient location makes "getting
around" easier for the visitor to New York. The
Avenue shops are just east of you, theatres
immediately to the north—look at the map.
All "down-town" is in easy reach by rapid-transit
lines, because there's a subway station v (both ex
press and local) right in the building. Surface
cars and Fifth Avenue busses pass the hctfel's
doors, and the elevated is a square and a half east.
Unexpected Conveniences
As an instance of tfv. Pennsylvania's complete
equipment, look at the two Turkish Bath establish
ments (one for women exclusively, one for men), each
of which has its own swimming pool.
The beautiful "Butterfly Room," glass-enclosed (a sun
room on the roof), is both novel and delightful. I
There's a good library, too, for the use of guests; and
many other "special" features.
Your Bedroom
Every bedroom has private bath, circulating ice-water,
"Servtdor" (an ingenious device which eliminates con
tact with servants at your bedroom door), full-length
mirror, reading-lamp on head of bed, and many other
unusual conveniences. A morning paper is delivered
free to every guest-room.

Mr. Gompers urged the textile

Referring to the employe s" group
at the Washington conference, while
condemning their course, he laid
most of the blame not on the actual
employers in the group, but upon
their lawyers.
'I am reliably Informed," he said,
"that it was the lawyers in the em

RAILROAD BILL
PUT ON CALENDAR
Cummins Expects Three or
Four Systems From Chi
cago to New York
Washington, Oct. 24.—The railway
reorganization bill the most Im
portant economic measure to come
before Congress in many a decade,
was reported to the Senate yesterday
by the Committee on Interstate Com
merce. The vote on reporting was
14 to 1, LaFollette, who dislikes
the antistrike features, being the
only opponent.
A wise soluUon of the transporta
tion problem is regarded as funda
mental to a reduction of the high
cost of living and a stabilization of
industrial, labor and financial con
ditlona The proposed legislation
will be fought by organised labor,
which is literally opposed to the
antl3trike and compulsory arbitra
tion feature of the bill. The rail
way brotherhoods advocated tho
Plumb plan of turning the transpor
tation system over to the workers.
Conservatives desire immediate en
actment not only to amelorlato eco
nomic conditions but to prevent radi
cals from makng an issue of their
extreme proposals in tho Presiden
tial election next year.
When Chairman Cummins, of the
Senate committee, reported the 108-
page bill to-day he hod read a letter
from Director General Hines. of the
Railroad Administration, pointing
out that immediate legislation is vi
tally necessary to the welfare of
the railroads, which the President
desires to return to their owners
at the close of the year. Cummins
gave notice he would call up the
bill as soon as the German Treaty
is disposed of. He hopes to put a
bill through the Senate by Novem
ber 20.

By Associated Stress
Princeton, N. J., Oct. 24. —Virtu-
ally every member of the faculty
will be given a substantial increase
iu salary, effective Immediately.
President John Grier Hibben, of
Princeton University, said:
"Although our finances do not
now permit us to make any final
settlement of this question, as a
measure of temporary relief we
have decided to Increase the mini
mum salaries of all grades, to take
effect Immediately.

Kaiser Scoffed at
America's War Aid,
Bernstorff Testifies
Berlin, Oct. 24.—The former
Kaiser scoffed at the danger of
American intervention, early in
1917, according to Count von Bern
storff, then German Ambassador to
the United States.
Replying to a question by Dr.
Stnzheimer when he resumed tes
tifying in the Reichstag committee
investigation of conduct of the war
yesterday afternoon. Von Bernstorff 1
admitted that Wilhelm telegraphed
to Foreign Secretary Zimmerman
about January 16, 1917, that "If a
breach with America cannot be
avoided, things must take their
course."
The statement created a sensa
tion, several committee members
gasping audibly. There was a hur
ried consultation, and after some
delay a copy of the telegram was
produced. It was read by Sinz
heimer.
"His Majesty does not care a bit
about President Wilson's peace of
fer," the telegram said. "It a breach
with America cannot be avoided,
things must take their course.
Events are developing."
Last U. S. Officer
to Leave Berlin
Berlin. Oct. 24.—Demobilization
of Captain Frank Mason, of Mil
waukee to take place in Paris this
week, will leave for the United
States without any military repre
sentation in Berlin, owing to the
fact that only "unofficial State De
partment represenatlves" will re
main, the Spanish embassy* already
overworked, must handle all Amer
ican business.
Mason, who has been stationed
In Berlin since early this year, prob
ably is the last American reserve
officer left In Europe. He expects to
return to Berlin as a newspaper cor
respondent.

MYSTERIOUS SEARCH BY
V. S. AGENTS FOR PREACHER
Honey Brook, Pa., Oct 24. With
Rev. Sariluel Neal Kent, rector of
St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal
Church, Warwick, missing from his
parish since last Friday, Federal

Philadelphia Is Facing
Serious Food Shortage
Philadelphia, Oct. 24. Philadel
phia's food supply, now theatened
witlt exhaustion, presents the most
serious problem the city has faced m
a loig period. There is little like-
Uhooc of food shipments being re
ceived and officials declare that if
relief is not forthcoming imme
diately there will be a grave short
age with heavily increased prices.
The situation here has been fur
ther complicated by a strike of truck
drivers, which has resulted in con
gestion of food at the depots. Ninety
per cent, of the trucks in the city
have been tied up by the strike.
Owing to the longshoremen's strike
an embargo has been declared by
the Merchants and Miners Trans

HUGO RIESEXFEI.D COMPOSER
OF "HETTY, BE GOOD" MUSIC
Hugo Riesenfeld, who gained na
tion-wide fame as musical director of
the famous twin Broadway motion
picture houses, the Rialto and the Ri
voli, and who has added pew laurels
to his crown since becoming manag
ing director of the two theaters, has
composed the music for the musical
comedy. "Betty, Be Good," which Willi
be at the Orpheum Theater on Mon- i
day and Tuesday nights. Mr. Riesen- |
fold—ho possesses the title of "Dr.,"
but modestly requests that it not be I
used—came to this country some j
twelve years ago and was concert]
master at the Manhattan Opera I
House when it was the home of Ham- !
merstein opera. His musical genius i
was immediately recognized and
some few years ago when the Rlalr.o
Theater was opened Mr. Riesenfeld
was appointed musical director. Later
in response to popular appeal, he was
made managing director of (the two
theaters. Mr. Riesenfeld is consid
ered one of the foremost musicians in
America and "Betty, Be Good," his
second musical comedy, is arousing
interest throughout the country.
Through his musical work at the Ri
alto and Rivoli Theaters. Mr. Riesen
feld has his finger on the public i
pulse, and has written a score which j
will appeal strongly to the popular;
taste in musical comedy. His music'
is refreshingly new and original and j
abounds in sonorous waltzes, dance!
compelling fox trots, draggy, peppery i
one-step 9 and jazzy rags. It seems j
almost incongruous that a musician, I
whose overtures and symphonys are!
master creations, can write music of!
such popular appeal, but therein lies!
Mr. I\iesenfeld's greatness.
A cast of principals well known to
Broadway have been assembled in

COMEDIAN SEEKS FLYING
FAME—STUDIO SAYS NAY
Joseph Rock, of the widely known
Vitagraph comedy team of Montgom
ery and Rook, is one of the most dis
appointed men on the west coast,
and all because his manager wouldn't
permit him to risk his neck to win an
exceptionally attractive silver trophy
offered in an airplane race.
1 Rock, having recently completed
with his partner an extra length
comedy of pre-historic life, found
time recently to become actively en
gaged in the promotion of an "Aerial
Derby." which will be staged In the
Var future in Los Angeles, and
Which has as its feature. • race from
that city to San Francisco. This
race, incidentally, will contain the
most prominent aviation talent on
the west coast, such noted flyers as
(Colonel Wm. Thaw and Major Ken
neth A. Marr. both of whom served in
the famous Lafayette Escadrille, and
pilots from the California aviation
fields; namely, March, Rockwell and
Mather
Among those interested in the race
was a Bukersfield sportsman, who of
fered a silver loving cup worth sev
eral hundred dollars to the aviator
who made the fastest time between
Los Angeles and Bakorsfield. When,
Rock saw the cup. he forgot all about I
his business engagements as a pro-j
moter of the race, and became sol
enamoured of the trophy, he decided j
to win !t himself if possible. Blithely i
he made engagements to engage an I
airplane, and even went so far as to!
hire a mechanician. Word of his in- j
tentions. however, reached Vitagraph I
-Studio Manager W. S. Smith, who |
promptly vetoed Rock's ambitious i
plan.
Elsie Janis is hard at work on the |
scenario for her next picture. It is i
said that the energetic little lady i

of her films than ail the other people I

"Scandal." which achieved a tremen

i Man" was written by Frederick
1 Bruegger and is heralded as an oc-
I cult drama. The plot is said to give
surprisingly novel twists to the love
adventures of a youthful couple,
whose lives fall under the sway of an
'lndian rajah possessing the mystic
i powers of the learned men of the
East. The play is being staged un

Miss Farrar has been surrounded
with as tine a cast as it was possible
to obtain. Her husband, Dou Telle
