in Senate and House

Washington. June 2o.-The admin
istration's program for an immediate
appropriation of $600,OOO,OOO for
aircraft was accelerated by the as
surance given to leaders in both
houses of Congress that the Senate,
subcommittee of the military affairs
committee has virtually decided to
report favorably the Sheppard HUI
bert bill to create a department of
aeronautics, the head of which shall
be member of the Presidents cabi-
net.
Agreat deal of testimony remains
to be sumbitted, much of it based
upon the expert observations of
American military men nthe Euro
pean fronts. One of the most inn
portant witnesses will be Brigadier
General George H. Squier, chief of
the signal corps of the army, who
will give the committee the benefit
of his experiences on the western
front during recent tour.
General Squier asserts the United
States can give the allies supremacy
over Germany in the air, and
through its greater power of this
arm hasten the defeat of the central
powers. -s. E. ,

TWO DETECTIVES
MAY BE DRAWN
INTO RAID TIP
Possible Another Officer Will
Be Implicated With Allison
For Giving Warming

1t is possible that not only Glenn
will be implicated in the charges
made last evening when Allison was
accused of having warned the in
mates of q house at 1902 Fulton
street. while carrying warrant for
their arrest.
No doubt exists in the minds of
the police officials that the inmates
had been warned % the descent upon
the place.
According to a statement made
this morning by one of those present
at the time all the women were fully
dressed, apparently patiently waiting
for the arrival of the officers, al
though it was late at night.
"Aw, we knew it was coming" one
girl is reported to have said.
Although it was at an hour when
the red lights twinkle brightest no
body but the inmates were in the
house when the officers arrived.
The accusation against Allison was
made last evening at a hearing De-
fore Alderman James B. DeShong,
when Mrs. Maude Walters, of 1902
Fulton street, was charged with
keeping n disorderly house. Accord
ing to testimony offered by Mrs. j.
n. Foltz, 1888 Jefferson street, who
brought the charge, information was
made at the police station April 20.
but no arrests were made. At that
time Detective Allison was assigned
to the case. AS is usual in such cases
no arrests were made at once, but
he was instructed to keep an eye"
on the place. 1t has been the policy
of the police department to make
n,,l,r
comes a nuisance, as TO bring in the
inmates without definite charge is
useless.
Mrs Goltz charges that Allison
kept an eye" on the place to such
an extent that he showed them the
warrant and told them to "lay low"
for a while. 1t has been charged
that he was accompanied by another
detective but inmates of the house
have denied the report, saying but
one officer came to the vicinity.
Makes Information Again
When no action was taken by the
police department Mrs. Foltz went
to Alderman DeShong and again
made the information. The Alder
man told her that a warrant had
already been issued at the police sta
tion for the same place. 1t is
charged at that time she said, Yes,
so 1t is, and that's nice place 20
make information. Why, my hus-
band boasts the police were his
friends and it was useless for me
to bother about the case" Alder
man DeShong investigated and found
the warrant had been returned TO
Captain Thompson with the expla-
nation Everything quiet, nothing
the matSr at that house"
Alderman DeShong instructed his
constable, David Hodge, to raid the
place. Detective Hyde Speese, who
formerly had not been connected
with the case, Patrolmen Schelhaus,
Leo Howard and Coyle assisted in
the arrests Saturday night.
All information concerning the
case has been suppressed as much as
possible as it had been intended to
await the return of Mayor Miller,
who. it is expected, will take imme-
diate action. Allison is one of the
most recent appointments on the de-
tective force of the police station.

CLOSER COOPERATION IS
DISCUSSED At CONGRESS
Betterment of Business and
Uplift of Mankind Prin-
cipal Topics at Meeting
of Statesmen

Betterment of business. the uplift
of mankind, a closer cooperation be-
tween employer and employe and pa
triotic demonstrations were the high
lights of the second annual sessions
of the Worlds Salesmanship Con-
gress, held last week at Detroit.
Speakers of national prominence
gave addresses or read papers on live
wire topics, taking up all branches OF
the business world.
Among the speakers was c. H.
Hunter, president of the Salesman
Club of Harrisburg, and vice-presi-
dent and general manager of sales
and advertising of the Elliott Fisher
Company, who gave an address on
How Product Is Used in the Sale"
Other Harrisburgers who were pres
ent were Robinson Murray and w. r.
Busch.
Organized last year and inaugural
ed by President Wilson. the congress
has grown until at present there are
forty five clubs enrolled with $1,000
members, 5000 of whom attended the
annual session.
large MemFpership Here
Harrisburg's place is near the top
because of the large and active mem
bership for the size of the city. with
lJU lueIlDeTS, lHe local CluD ranks
close to such organizations as in Bos-
ton and the larger cities. The Har-
risburg men were az corded a hearty
welcome on all sides and much praise
was heard for the enterprise ana ac-
tivity of the members of this city.
One of the movements started by
the national organization, is to estaD-
lish two or three chairs in Salesman
ship at the larger universities, so that
the subject will be included in the
school curriculum. Textbooks are be-
ing prepared on the subject by we'll
known authorities.
Lewis Is Coming ..
While the Harrisburg men were at
Detroit arrangements were made to
have II. st. Elmo Lewis, counsel IN
advertising, sales and marketing, of
Detroit, to speak at a meeting of the
Harrisburg club, to be held at s
Fahnestock Hall. Mr.. Lewis spoke
for Pioneers in Salesmanagement."
Charles NJ. Schwab, chairman of
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, ana
ID. NJ. Barrett secretary manager
were the principal speakers at the
first general session. Both speakers
have made addresses in Harrisburg
the former at the annual meeting or

BIG SAVING IN
PHONE RATE CUT
Public Gains by $250,0O0 in
Change in Bell Toll
Charges

Effective tomorrow. the toll and
long distance rates of Bell Telephone
Company of Pennsylvania have been
revised so as TO establish all such
rates on an airline distance basis
and to bring about an entire uni
formity of charges for like distances.
In general the rates have been re-
duced, although in some cases there
have been slight inceases and many
of the former rates have been con-
tlnued. Altogether saving of
S250,000 per annum TO the public
will result.
Involved in this rate revision is the
substitution of two number" calling
toll messages between this city and
certain nearby points to which the
volume of traffic is such as to war
rant the provision of a special no.
delay service. BY a Two number"
call is meant call placed by num-
Der only, no particular person" be-
ing asked for when the call is given
to the operator. on two number"
call the calling subscriber should not
leave the telephone, Sut should re-
main with the receiver at his ear:
lnG COHlctllOH Will DC eSldDllSneu
imm ediately. Whenever this two
number" calling is SUBSTITUTED, the
initial period of connection has been
increased from three minutes to five
minutes. This method of two num-
bcr" calling is now generally in effect
throughout the Bell system and con-
nections between nearby points; by
facilitating the handling of telephone
traffic it contributes very positively
TO the speed and effectiveness of the
service and permits of a longer
period of connection for the initial
period,
Uniform Rates
In cases where two number" call
ing is now substituted for particular
person" calling the revised rates are
determined on the same basis-as
above mentioned-on uniform rates
for like distances; and while some
OF the charges remain unchanged,
certain of them have been reduced
and a few have been increased.

points near by.

BABIES SUFFER IN
TEUTON WARFARE
Hundreds of Little Lives
Wrecked in Two Years
of Horrors

Behind the British Lines in France,
June 20. - The French children found
in the villages of Northern France
evacuated by the Germans under the
pressure of the British and French
offensive, present a picture of the saw
agery of modern warfare as charac-
teristic as the Somme forest, shatter-
ed and broken by months of shell fire.
Many of these children are orphans,
without home or relatives. Many have
been been grievo9sly wounded. Most of
them suffer from a peculiar species of
smell shock which affiicts them gem
orally with sort OF tremor not unlike
st. Vitus' dance.
ChiIdren's Condition Worse
The condition of peasant men and
women who have been living under the
shadow of the invader through these
long months and years has been bad
enough but the condition of the half
ranged little children has been far
worse, All the children were collected
and shepherded by the first entente
One French organization has a hos
pital with 900 child patients, all under
wounded: Some have lost legs or
suffering from brain fever or puz-
zling anemia under which they ran
idly waste away.
They are the victims of the ruth
lessness of modern warfare" said the
head of the hospital, French woman
wearing the uniform of the French
Red Cross. There is no better argu-
ment against war than to see these
mutilated little victims who will never
play or enjoy life as other children
do. They are mere shadows of child
hood. 1t is difficult to make them
talk and they tremble and start at any
are always gentle with children, but
with these children we need a special
genutleness, as IL we were handling
something more fragile than the most
delicate china"

ROTARIANS GO
TO WELLSVILLE
Are Guests of E. ]. Lewis at
= Big Factory of Leather
Products Co.
Members of the Harrisburg Rotary

Members of the Harrisburg Rotary
Club were delightfully."- entertained
yesterday by E. ]. Lewis. manager of
the Harrisburg Leather Products
Company, at the factories of that
corporation in Harrisburg and at
Wellsville, York county. The Ro-
tarians met at the Harrisburg fac
tory at Reilly and Wyeth streets, at
o'clock, and after an inspection of
the industry, left for Wellsville by
automobile.
The big end of the business is now
done at this place, where enormous
quantities of shoes for babies are
turned out. The Harrisburg factory
building long ago was outgrown by
the expanding business and the York
county plant was put into operation
about year ago. The product of
the company is sold all over the
country, through some of the larg-
est Wholesale, retail and mail order
houses doing business, and it is not
any longer a question of finding Il
market, but Of trying to produce suf-
fcient goods to keep orders up to
date.
This was not always true. Before
Mr.. Lewis took charge of the conf
pany 1T had hard fight for exist
eliCe out dlleT lIS reOrBanlZatlOn, Ine
clearing up of all debts and the
taking over of the property by the
new corporation it got rapidly upon
its feet and is now one of the most
prosperous shoemaking industries in
Central Pennsylvania. All this was
set forth by Mr.. Lewis in his ad-
dress to the club yesterday.
Previous to the business meeting
in the factory at Wellsville substan-
ttal refreshments were served, and
the Rotarians given all the straw
berries and cream, both home pro-
duced, that they could stow away.
Meet WcIlsviIle Manufacturers
In addition to Mr.. Lewis the Ro-
tarians heard brief but interesting
addresses by j. Milligan, head of the
big Wellsville Whip Company, estab-
lished away back in 1887, which oc-
cupies a beautiful stone factory
building on the outskirts of town,
and sells it's products all over the
world; and by w. D. Brougher, head
of the Horsenet Manufacturing Com
pany, another large and thriving
Wellsville concern. Mr.. Lewis also
introduced to the Rotarians John ID.
Spangler, superintendent of the
Wellsville shoe plant, and presented
written invitation from Richard
