Planting and Grading
Gangs Get Together on
River Front Slope Job

In order to hurry grading work as
much as possible on the river front
slopes north of Front street, the corps
of men under City Forester Mueller
which had been planting shrubbery on
the banks have been added to the
grading gangs and with this additional
aid the trimming up of the embank-
ments is proceeding more rapidly. The
gangs have got to a point beyond Ham
ilton street.
The planters moved too swiftly for
the graders and the new change will
be followed until the graders get a
considerable distance ahead. After
that the planters will resume putting
in the matrimony and other vines.
One side of the granolithic sidewalk
along the wall has been completed to
a point below Locust street. The con-
creters will follow along with the other
side as fasts as the material can be
turned out of the mixers. The ma
chine is now ~throbbing busily at Pine
street. but within a few days it will be
moved to below the Walnut street
bridge in order to be convenient to the
contractors when the additional steps
to bridge the Market street coal wharf
gap are being put in. The bed of the
walk a been rolled all the way to
Market street and the concreters are
following in the wake of the roller.

loss of the Goliath said:
THE Goliath was torpedoed last
night in a torpedo attack by destroy
ers while protecting the French flank
just inside the straits.
Twenty officers and $50 men were

D~ardanelles also telegraphs that the
submarine Ella, which, with so much
daring, penetrated to the sea of Mar
mora. has reported they sunk two
Turkish gunboats and a large Turkish
transport"

naught type. She was built in 1898.

U. S. BLOCKADE PROTEST
is PRAISED IN FRANCE

PARIS, Feb. II. - Americas reply to
Germany's blockade notification has
brought forth chorus of praise from the
principal writer's in the French press.
Even Georges Clemenceau. who hitherto
has been disposed to criticise President
Wilson. says the President has spoken
the words the American people expected
In such way that Germany has no al
Tentative but to back down.
Gabriel Hanotaux says in the Figaro:
THE American note to Germany is an
act of high historic initiative and the first
step toward the inevitable participation of
neutrais in the great events which are
dividing the world. President Wilson was
obliged to pass from discussion to action.
What do the measures mentioned in the
note mean but that American warships
ing American ships in total disregard of
Americas sovereign rights? Either Ger
many can give in or she can disregard
Washington's note and go on with her
plan to force England to capitulate. Then
President Wilson could not recede from
his position"
The proposal made by Count Won Bern
storff the German Ambassador to the
United States, that Germany would with
draw its blockade order If the import of
food was permitted by England arrived
too late for comment. but the newspapers
caption the announcement, "Oniclal Ger

TRADE COMMISSIONS
SCOPE AND AIMS TOLD
Vast Importance to Business
Of New Federal Body Ex-
planned by Official.

NEW YORK, Feb. H.-For the first
time the plans and scope of the new Fed
eral Trade Commission were explained
here today by Joseph F. Davies, United
States Commissioner OF Corporations who
spoke before the Merchants Association
OF New York Although the trade COM
mission law was one of the most impor-
tent measures of the Administration pro-
gram. little has been heard OF II since It's
passage by Congress. 1t affects every
business. great or small, which extends
beyond state or national boundaries. ex-
cepting that OF banks and common car
fiers
Speaking on the topic Recent Trust
Legislation" Mr. Davies said in part:
''1n the course of time there will be
available for the Federal Trade Commits
sion large amount OF information col
lated digested and interpreted as to the
whole field of industry In the country.
This agency also is available In the pub
lie interest in investigation of the anti
trust laws.
"Thc commission is charged with the
further duty OF Investigating trade condl-
tlons In foreign countries with reference
" AtttH eiIcCl upon OuT eNpoTl llaue' II
fs contended that TO extend our foreign
markets II Is necessary that combination
be permitted among the smaller manufac-
turers and exporters of this country to
compete with combinations in foreign
countries. What Is needed for the guild
ance OF legislation Is exact information"
The speaker said the trade commission
probably would be consulted by the De-
partment of Justice in making recon-
mendations relative to the manner in
which corporations may adjust their busi-
ness
The quasi-judical functions of the Fed
eral Trade Commission will be exercised
in passing upon violations of the Clayton
act, he said.

OSTEOPATHS ACCUSED
OF OFFERING A BRTBE
Head of Pennsylvania Examin-
ing Board Brings Charges
Against Society.

Accusations OF attempted bribery and
repeated intimidation were brought today
against the Pennsylvania osteopathic So
clety by DR. o. j. Snyder, president OF the
State Board of Osteopathic Examiners. In
answer to the charges brought by the So
ciety that tGl licensed practOners In
Guiding Doctor Snyder do not hold diplo-
mas from legally Incorporated colleges,
and therefore are not entitled to practice
I'm this State.
Doctor Snyder said the present move TO
obtain from the Attorney General a writ
OF mandamus requiring the State to re-
woke the licenses is but the last in E
series of attempts since 1909 to force the
Examiners to issue licenses to those not
qualified under the present law. At that
time, Doctor Snyder said the secretary of
the society called on him and offered to
give him 5000 II he would use his influence
to change the law TO admit the 165 men,
bers of the society.
DR.. snyder admitted that the Philadel-
phia College and 1nfirmary Of Osteopathy
is not Incorporated In this state, but that
Is due, he said, to the fact that the in
etltution does not hold property valued at
500 90, as required by the law for incor-
pcration here. Doctor Snyder says the
college is Incorporated In New Jersey and
has four-year medical course accredited
by the Board of Regents of New York,
rating denied 10 out of 16Q medical schools.
His own college, the Northern Institute
of osteopathy was incorporated under the
laws OF Minnesota until It consolidated
which is incorporated there.
None Of the members of the society
could be found who would discuss the
case.
