Charges Bad Faith
Because outlying operators are not I
organized, Mr, Lukens said that no
time should be wasted, but that |
"public interest In an early settle- j
ment makes it desirable to continue I
as ir? the past,"
Mr. Lukens' statement Immodl- j
ately brought from Mr. Lewis a
charge of bad faith.
Charging that the operators in the j
outlying districts had led miners and
the public to believe that they were
ready to negotiate with the miners
Mr. Lewis exclaimed:
"Ye gods is there no mora good
faith left in man? Arc the mine
workers of America to be the ever
lasting victims of bad faith on the
part of the people with whom they
have to deal?"
1 <euis Amatwl
After announcing his acceptance
of the. secretary's suggestion l , Mr.
Lewis said:
"I want to express my utter j
amazement at the attitude of the I
coal operators as stated by their j
spokesman. Mr. Lukens. If there is
any one thing which has crystallized
pubiic sentiment against the miners,
it is because the oft-reiterated cry
that the outlying operators had not
been presented with demands by
their workers, although they stood
ready and willing to negotiate a
wage scale.
"We stand with spotless robes,
ready to negotiate a scale in the
various States outside the Central
Competitive Field. Mr. Lukens pro
posed to the Governor of Missouri
that they were ready to negotiate!
with the miners in Missouri, but
Governor Gardner wired me In pro
test and the Governors of West Vir- '
ginia and other States have done j
likewise."
"We come in good faith in an hon
est endeavor to reconcile difficulties." [

"Gentlemen:
Any adverse criticism of PYRODENTO is something
mighty hard to conceive. Your dentifrice, to my mind,
combines all the qualities that count In the desirahiltv of such
an article.
It Is pleasant to the taste, botli while brushing the teeth
and afterwards, and, what is more, it leaves a sensation that
is clean without that sickening sweetness so common to the
usual dentifrice.
It cools and soothes the gums, and this faet alone should
make it all the more desirable to anyone suffering from Pyor
l'hca or any other gum disease.
It is in a very economical container, and. on the whole
I should say that PYRODENTO descries a very high posi

particularly poof grace from the

SPEEDS TREATY
[Continued from First lhtge.]
party lines on both sides divided.
Vote Down Doctrine Change
Taking up the committee's Mon
roe Doctrine reservation the Sen
ate voted down 51 to 43 a substitute
by Democvratic Leader Hitchcock to
declare the doctrine in no way "im
paired or affected" by the Treaty.
Only two Democrats, Senator Reed,
Missouri, and Shields, Tennessee,
stood with the Republicans for the
committee draft.
The vote adopting the reservation
of domestic questions was 59 to
3ti, all opponents being Democrats.
The Republicans in favor of that
reservation were joined by nine
Democrats Chamberlain. Gore.
King. Reed, Shields, Smith, of
Georgia; Thomas. Trammel and
Walsh, of Massachusetts.
The reservation follows:
"The United States reserves to
itself exclusively the right to de
cide what questions are within Its
domestic jurisdiction and declares
that all domestic and political ques
tions relating wholly or in part to
its internal affairs, including immi
gration,' labor, coastwise traffic, the
tariff, commerce, the suppression
of traffic in women and children and
in opium and other dangerous
drugs, and all other domestic ques
tions, and all questions affecting
the present boundaries of the Unit
ted States and its insular and other
possessions are solely within the
jurisdiction of the United States and
are not. under this Treaty, to be
submitted in any way either to ar
bitration or to consideration of the
council or the assembly of the
League of Nations, or of any
agency thereof, or to the decision
or recommendation of any other
power."
Another substitute for the com
mittee's Monroe Doctrine reserva
tion, offered by Senator Pittman,
proposing tbat the United States re
serve for its disposal any question
raised under the Monroe Doctrine,
also was voted down, 52 to 42.
The committee's Monroe Doctrine
reservation was adopted by a vote,
55 to 53.
Hltclicock Substitutes
When the Senate met to-day to
consider the Republican proposal to
enforce the cloture rule to limit de
bate on the Peace Treaty, Demo
cratic Leader Hitchcock presented
several substitutes for committee
reservations, so as to have them
within the rules, which provide that
no amendments or substitutions
be offered before the cloture be
comes effective. His move was taken
by some senators to forecast Demo
cratic support of the cloture mo
tion.
His Reservations
Among the measures Senator
Hitchcock presented was a resolu
tion for ratification without reserva
tions.
He put in also ratification resolu
tion embodying "as part of the rati
fication the five substitute reserva
tions offered by him several days
ago. Those reservations provide:
That the United States would be
the sole judge whether its obliga
tions were fulfilled, if it withdrew
from league membership.
That no question which the United
States considers doniesttc in charac
ter could come before the league.
That the Monroe Doctrine should
not in any way be impaired or af
fected.
That the council's recommenda
tions under Article Ten shall be con
sidered as "merely advice."
That no dominion or colony shall
vote in any league dispute to which
any sister dominion or colony is a
party.
Jam Develops
A parliamentary jam developed
when Vice-President Marshall un
dertook to state his construction of
the cloture rule. Senator La Fol
lette, Republican, Wisconsin, made a
point of order contending that the
chair should put the motion.
The objection was overruled, Sena
tor La Follette appealed from the
decision and Senator Ashurst, Dem
ocrat, Arizona, moved to lay the
proposal on the table.
Senator La Follette's effort to cut
oft the Vice-President's ruling was
tabled 62 to 30 all of the latter be
ing cast by Republicans while 18
Republicans joined the Democrats in
sustaining the Vice-President.
The Vice-President then ruled that
when one resolution of ratification
had been rejected it was possible, if
a majority desired, to take up an
other in the hope of a final com
promise. The decision bore out the
stand of administration senators
who hope to bring action on a reso
lution of their own after defeating
that containing the committee reser
vations.

to the Gettysburg camp. Crowds
followed these parudars. Then tha
Gettysburg boys got busy and Dewta
burg's crowd had nothing on the
boys from the battlefield town. After
; a short walkaround the inarch to
Island Park was on.
Many in Stands
When the big student bodlca
reached tho Island each college pa
raded over the field and took seats
on tho west side of the field. Two
sections were reserved for the col
leges, with one section of civilians
between the student cheer crowds.
This arrangement gave the specta
tors an opportunity to enjoy the
singing and cheers. Each college
tried o outdo the other.
The crowd was large, due to the
new arrangement regarding the price
of tickets. Everybody was given an
opportunity to get a seat without
the necessity of a check and wait
ing for a half hour until an usher
could be had. Side line spectators
bought general admission tickets.
Both Teems Hopeful
The game was scheduled to start
at 2.3u. Both teams were expecting
victory. Gettysburg realised that
they had to play the best they knew
how, and were In good trim. Buck
nell offered a large squad. Interest
In the game was Increased to-day"
because of the presence of a number
of former Ilarrlsburg High School
and Academy stars.
On the Gettysburg team were
Houtz, Emanuel, Phillips, Martx
(captain). Frock and Haehnlen, of
Harrisburg. These boys were given
a big welcome wiko they reached
the field. In the Bucknell squad
were Ebner who has been winning
many laurels this season, Bihl, Mc-
Cann and local boys, and
Dayh off and Morrett. of Steelton.
They too were given an ovation.
Harrisburg football fans were
evenly divided In their rootftig. Ap
plause was liberal. Each team was
on edge as they trotted on the field.
Sensational plays were looked for,
as both teams have been training
for new tricks and football a little
different than that seen here to date.
After the game this afternoon the
visitors will dine, a special room
having been provided for the Buck
nell crowd at the Penn-Harris. This
evening the two football squads will
be guests of the Orpheum Theater
management and will witness the
production of "A Bird of Paradise."
Many of the student visitors will also
be in evidence at the basketball
game to-night at Chestnut Street Au

scheduled to leave at 11 p. m.
Members of the Gettysburg and
Bucknell football squads -will be the

The event will be known as foot- j

at the left of the theater. The losers
will occupy the right side. The men
are to see "The Bird of Paradise"

Operating Unmolested
Gypsy fortune tellers continue to
operate In the borough, unmolested
by the police, it Is said. Several
crowds of gypsies have been in town
for more than a month and nave
been floeclng tho foreigners mostly,
it is understood.
The clever theft of a diamond ring
from a resident almost a. month ugo
just became generally known this
morning. Mrs. Charles N. Meckley,
31 Chestnut street, whose husband
works in the steel foundry depart
ment of the steel plant, this morn
ing told a story that about a month
ago she permitted a well-dressed
gypsy fortune teller to tell her for
tune. The woman said she made
a deposit of 20 cents on the fortune
and then, before telling her much,
the fortune teller said a dollar more
was necessary before she would pro
ceed. The woman told her she did
not have any more money and the
gypsy told her she had SBO in the
house. I,uter Mrs. Meckley said she
gave the fortune teller the money
she asked for and she proceeded to
tell her "many things." The gypsy
insisted it was necessary for her to
have the diamond ring Airs. Meckley
Tvas wearing and SBO for two days
before "certain things would come
true." Mrs. Meckley said she nl
lowed her to have the ring after she
insisted, but told her she did not
have any money. The fortune teler
than told her she would return in a
few days for the money and give
back the ring. Since that time, Mrs.
Meckley said, she did not see the
ring, which she valued highly. The
affair was not reported to the police,
she said.
