VIOLATORS OF R. R.
LAW TO BE JAILED
Adamson, Author of Eight
Hour Act, Says Warrants
Will Be Served

Washington, Sept. s. - The formal
statement by E. P. Ripley, president
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad, that the Santa Fe did not
intend to comply with the provisions
of the Adamson eight-hour law for
railway workers until directed to do
so by the Supreme Court. aroused
Representative Adamson. of Georgia,
chairman of the House committee on
Interstate ana Foreign commerce, the
author of the law.
Mr.. Adamson said he would soon
make an extended reply to the argu-
ments of those who have attacked
the constitutionality of the eight hour
bill. This reply will be printed in the
Congressional Record, but Mr.. Adam
son made the brief comment that Mr..
Ripley "is likely to go to JAIL If he
persists in his defiance of the law.
Il have seen Mr.. Ripley's published
statement" said Mr.. Adamson, "and
all I can say at this time that If Mr..
Ripley or any other railroad official
disobeys this eight-hour law that the
first step taken will be the swearing
out OF warrant and the violators are
likely to find themselves in Jail If a
poor attorney informs a railroad Off
cial that the law is unconstitutional
1t should be arranged so that the ac-
cused official may have the benefit of
other counsel in court and the ILL
advised railroad attorney can go along
to Jail with his client. There is no
doubt of the constitutionality of the

LEBANON MOTORIST IS
FARMERS DEATH
TContinued From First Page]

Donohue. Bates was brought here
late this afternoon and a charge OF
involuntary manslaughter may be
brought against him.
According to witnesses, the autoists
after hitting Donohue speeded away.
At the time of the accident, 1t is
said, the men were racing with a
trolley car along Horseshoe pike east
of Hummelstown. Assistant District
Attorney Robert T. Fox, saw the auto
race through Hummelstown, but said
that it was going at such a high rate
of speed that he could not ascertain
the number.
Donohue, it was said, had been
working as a farm hand near Hum
melstown. He sustained a fractured
ed chest. The body was turned over
to Karmany and Son, undertakers,
Hummelstown, and Coroner Eckinger,
after viewing it late last night and
obtaining some facts, started on a
chase after the autoists. Lawrence
Brown and Charles Morspaugh, crew
of a Hershey trolley car, gave the
county official the number of Leb
anon machine believed to have been
the one which struck Donohue. Early
to-day Anspaugh was arrested and
brought to Harrisburg where he is
being held by the city police pending
further orders from county authori-
ties.
Should Anspaugh prove an alibi.
county authorities will probably start
search for Bates companion.

New York, Sept. s.-Details of the

August 8 were told by Captain e. w.
Barlow, of the Owego on her arrival

Captain Barlow confirmed cable re-

He said that apparently there was
no intention on the part of the y

added that he had no complaint to
make.

HAS RIP-RAP
PROBLEM In MIND

first consult with City Solicitor D. s.
ton; Furthermore, he is now awaiting
some other advice" on the subject.
No Conference Yet
More than a month ago the Park
Commissioner said he intended to con-
fer with Mr.. Seitz about the riprap-
ping, but he admitted to-day that he
hasn't yet taken UP the matter with
the solicitor.
about $4,000 will be left in the
park loan fund, will there not?" the
Commissioner was asked. "As this
will be insufficient to build the pro-
posed subway under the Philadelphia
and Reading tracks on the parkway
drive, why couldn't this money. or a
portion of it, be used to provide for
the riprapping?
That is what want to see Mr. Seitz
about" said the Commissioner.
Isn't the permanent treatment of
the river front slopes necessarily part
of the park Improvement" he was
asked.
The Parkway Claim
Now that, as l say, is what / want
to talk with Seitz about. It's a ques-
tion, in my mind, as to whether it will
be best to use the money for the rip
rapping from this fund or whether it
will be better to keep this fund intact
TO put through the plan that may ma
terialize at any time now to acquire
the remainder of the parkway chain
between Reservoir and the State asy-
lum"
I'm event that you would not use
tho money from the park loan balance
for the riprapping, would that mean
that nothing will be done toward pro-
tecting the slope during the coming
winter?"
The WherewithaI
"Oh, that work need not necessarily
be done at once. We could work at
that until way late in the Fall and
early winter. Frequently, you know,
we do not have bad weather before
January" explained the park superin-
tendent.
Then, too, under ordinary con-
ditions, the slopes as they stand might
not be seriously damaged; it's ques-
ton, of course, but unless there is con-
tinued high water and the situation
becomes serious, the slopes would hold
up pretty well, 1 believe"
where would you get the money to
eventually complete the riprapping?"
why, I've had the promise of the
other Councilmen that l can have the
money provided in the budget for next
year."
To Get Budget Support
did they say they would support
You in getting the money in the
budget?"
"Yes. They let me understand that
II I didn't insist upon taking the bal
ance from the city audit appropriation
for the riprapping they would stick by
mo when the budget was made up and
see that I got enough set aside for the
riprapping work"
Did both Commissioners Bowman
and Lynch promise that?' Park Com
missioner Gross was asked.
"Oh, yes" declared the park head

The hull of the Cluett on her arr

through which she passed and her
buffeting by the ice on her trip south.
Her engine has been out of commis-

notwithstanding the shortage of food

they passed.

Drop Theory That Lawyer

New York, Sept. 8.-The police an
nounced here last night that they have
abandoned the theory that Dwight P.
Dilworth, the lawyer who was shot
dead in Van Cortlandt Park last Sun
day night. had been the victim of
highway robbery.
They assert that in view of what
they term surprising new evidence a
woman will be arrested for the crime,
with jealousy of the lawyers atten-
tions to other women as the motive
for the killing. Dilworth was mur-
dered while driving in an automobile

Shots Fired
A number of elevated trains were
attacked during the early morning,
but in no case was there any ap-
proach to a mob riot. Strike sympa-
thizers on the roofs of tenement
houses bombarded the trains with bot
ties and bricks and in one instance
with pistol shots. None of the bull
lets took effect, but several passen-
gers were cut by missiles and hrokan
glass. The police surrounded the
blocks from which the missiles came
and searched the roofs, but made only
a few arrests.
Rumors of a plot to blow up the
subway caused the police to main
tain a watch at every underground
station, but the subway trains ran
during the night and early morning
without molestation.
