PARTY LINES ARE
FORGOTTEN In FRAY
Representatives Applaud AS
sertiOn "That All the Imps
of He'll Never Devised a
More Infamous Lie Than
That President Wants
War"
By Associntcd Press

Washington, March Tn the first
test vote in the House to-day on the
armed ship question the Administra-
tion forces won 256 to $50.
Opportunity for amending the Nc
Lemore resolution to warn Americans
off the armed ships of European bel
ligerents was removed, and the House
turned to debate on the resolution it
self with every indication that it
would be tabled as President Wilson
desires as a demonstration to foreign
nations that dissensions against his
foreign policy do not represent the
majority of Congress.
The question to adopt the special
rule was then put. Representative
Campbell demanded the yeas and nays
and at 1.16 o'clock the roll call was
begun on the adoption of the rule to
consider the warning resolution.
Another Victory
The rule providing for four hours
debate on the motion to table the Nc
Lemore warning resolution was adopt
ed by 271 to 1913.
With this action the administration
forces put over another victory and
placed the McLemore resolution be-

the latest information, the number of
deaths on the Spanish passenger
steamship Principe de Asturias, which
struck rock and sank off Santos on

those saved was the new American
consul to Santos, Charles Tradek.
The vessel was en- route to Buenos
Ayres from Barcelona. over 600 pas
sengers were on board. The catas-
trophe was caused, it is said, by a
thick fog. in which the vessel struck
a rock and sank in less than five min
utes. The newspapers of this city say
that it is reported that the commander
of the ship committed suicide at the
moment of the accident The greater
part of the officers were lost.

According TO the annual report of

ted to the company's stockholders at

Company's building this morning. the
company's net income for the year
ending December 81, 1915 was $685.
666.92 less than the net income for
the year 1914. The jitney is held re-
sponsible for the decrease. The COM
pany's net earnings in 1915 were
$1S7,S19.0S and in 1914 the net earn
lngs totaled $221,329.S9, a decrease
for 1915 of 33,510.S1. The income
from investments during 1915 was
also lower than in 1914 so with this
the total net income for the year is
reduced by $3S.666.92. The profits

His Departure; SteeltOn

System

]. V. w. Reynders. who for many
years has been prominently identified
with the management of the big steel
plants at Steelton announced to-day
that he has presented his resignation
as vice-president and director of the
Pennsylvania Steel Company.
Mr.. Reynders' resignation caused
much surprise in steel circles, as it is
we'll known that he and President L.
q. Grace of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany which recently purchased a con-
trolling interest in the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, are warm personal
friends and that Mr.. Grace was en-
thusiastic over the Steelton properties
during his recent inspection of the
works.
To Remain Three Months
MIR. Reynders will remain at Steel
ton for a period of three months at
least, putting the affairs of the Penn
sylvania Steel Company in shape Tor
lhe formal transfer. II is not unlikely
he will be offered an important posi-
ton with the Bethlehem Company, al
though he said to-day that his plans
for the immediate future are not de-
cided He desires 10 be free from
responsibility for time in order to
look carefully into several PROPOSE
tions that have been placed before
him at intervals during the past few
years and he may not be In a position
TO reach any conclusion for a consid-
erable period.
Quincy Bent General Manager
Quincy Bent, at present assistant to
the president at the Sparrow's Point
plant has been appointed general
manager of the plants at Steelton, but
he will not be a successor to Mr..
Reynders, in view or the fact that the
executive offices of the Bethlehem
South Bethlehem and the Steelton
plants viii become simply an operating
unit of the great Schwab interests.
No General Changes
There will be no wholesale changes
at Steelton, as the result of Mr..
Reynder's resignation. He said to-day
that he feels he is in a position to
assure the employees of the Steelton
works generally that their interests
will be thoroughly safeguarded by the
new owners of the property. Indeed
the impression is given that, if any
thing, the Schwab proRrietorship
should improve the prospects of the
men actively employed about the plant
i'm view of the enlarged activities pro-
posed by the new management.
