President Charged With
Forcing Democrats to Adopt
Laws Against Judgment
BY Associated Press

Washington, D. c., Aug. S.-Senator
Cummins to-day charged President
Wilson with forcing Democrats in the
House and Senate to adopt legislation
against their judgment and told op-
ponents of the child labor bill who
contend it is unconstitutional that the
presidential assumption of legislative
functions was a greater menace to
the constitution than the passage OF
any measure.
There has not been a single impor-
tant measure passed since 1918 in
which Democratic Congressman have
not felt the heavy hand of the execu-
tive" said the Senator. Those SEN
atorS who see an evasion of State
rights and menace to the passage of
the present bill, ignore the graver vio-
lations of the constitution exhibited
every day during this session.
Senator Robinson asked Senator
Cummins to be. more specific in his
complaints. but the Senator from Iowa
declared he had taken up the sub
ject only because Senator Hardwick
had previously asserted that President
Wilson had violated his conception of
the constitution in urging this legis-
lation.

crazed woman was busy keeping away
the attackers on another part of the

Senate Agrees Without
Debate on Army Bill Which
Carries $267,597 900

Washington. Aug s. - Without
debate the Senate to-day agreed to
the conference report on the army
appropriation bill carrying s267,597,-
900 for maintenance of the reorganiz-
ed regular army and National Guard.
The only criticism of the report
came from Senator Clapp, of Mime
sofa, who protested against elimina-
ton of the La Toilette amendment
increasing the minimum age limit for
enlistment from Is TO 81 years with
out consent of parents or guardian.
Because of this he voted against the
report.
The bill provides for organization
of a council for national defense to
coordinate transportation, industrial
and agricultural facilities in time OF
stress, for relief of dependent fam
lilies of sosdiers in service on the Mex
lean border, and appropriates a spe-
cial sum of more than $4,000, 900
for development of aviation in the
army.
The naval bill also was in its last
stages to-day, although failure of the
conferees to agree on the important
building and personnel provisions
made necessary the less speedy
method of referring Senate and House
differences back to those bodies. II
the House, even under administration
pressure, refuses to accept the Senate
provisions for building siXty-six YES

Thomas E. Mitten. president of the
transit COMPANY. which operates all
the lines in the city. said that less than
$50 men had answered the strike or
der and that the operation of cars had
not been affected in the least. He
added that he has no fear that the
strike will spread.
Cars on all lines apparently have
been running rs usual since the strike
was called and there has been no dis
order.

Major F. NJ. OFT has shown a proper
appreciation of conditions in provid-
ing that what is now the Linglestown
roao running from the river drive
toward linglestown shall be sixty
feet wide. Similar treatment should
be given ali other roads and highways
north OF the city, but this cannot be
done unless and until the Planning
Commission shall have authorized the
survey and indicated the character of
the streets and park spaces.
1t is inconceivable that the splendid
area north of Division street shall be
ruined for all time by careless and
Indifferent building operations. Also,
1t is believed that the city must take
oTer all the river frontage from Divi-
sion street to Fort Hunter in order
that the greatest asset of the city shall
not be destroyed in that section which
must eventually be part of Harrisburg.
What is true of the territory north of
the city is also true of that outlying
territory east of the city and south
wardly toward Hummelstown.

With the rapid development of
Harrisburg in every direction, the
work of the City Planning Commits
sion grows in importance. During the
present summer there has been con-
siderable activity along the river north
OF the city and some recent transfers
of large plots indicate a future expan-
sion which requires no prophet to
foresee. The work of the Planning
Commission will involve comprehen-
sive surveys of the territory, for in
stance, between Division street and
the First mountain, and from the
river miles toward Linglestown. This
survey would make possible the plac-
ing of street lines and prevent such
conditions as caused a large eXpendi-

which grow like Topsy, involve diff
cultles in the future which are too SER
