 NEED FOR TAKING OVER TELEGRAPH

Washington, July 2.-While three cabinet officers were before the Com merce committee today advocating the Aswell resolution empowering the President to take over telegraph, tel ephone, cable and wireless systems, the House took jurisdiction over the measure from that committee and vested it in the Military committee.
 There was no discussion and only a viva voce vote when Representative Gordon of Ohio moved that jurisdic- tion be transferred because the meas ure was urged as military necessity Members of the Military committee said later that they were not opposed to the resolution and undoubtedly would report it favorably.
 Secretaries Baker and Daniels and Postmaster General Burlesone appear ed before the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce committee.
 Secretary Baker, taking the stand first, said it did not happen at the minute ts be a military necessity to take over telephone and telegraphs, but it might be "the next minute" He declared it essential as war measure to give the President full power to take over control Of the wires if nec- essary.

This was unanimously decided upon yesterday when it was found impos- sible to launch one of the big super submarines which is nearing comple- tion at the yards, to celebrate the country's natal day.
 The launching will take place soon, end thu work which the employees will donate to the government will un- doubtedly make the event doubly sure. That the employees of the plant had decided to tender their work tc the government for three hours on yesterday when a committee waited upon the management to ask for power on the morning of July 4. The management at once accepted the idea of the men and have offered them the enti,e plant for the occasion, at the same time expressing their great ad- mirat3on for a body of workers so patrIC tic.

 i It was considered far more patriotic to work for a few hours on the Glo- rio Is Fourth than to waste a lot of energy and time in parading, so it was decided to work from ' until 10 in the morning. The force which will be at work speeding up the construc- ton of boats for Uncle Sam will be the same as on any Saturday, even | the guards at the gates will be on duty as well as all the stenographers secretaries, accountants, telephone Operators and women employed in the drafting room.
 As far as known this movement among the workers is unique in th' annals of labor, no other organiza tio1 i employed upon war work having do mated their labor to government worl before as a means of displaying theil loyalty and love of country upon thu national holiday.

Gold Mesh Bags
 of Baser Metal
 PaWnbrOkers Find

New York, July 1-Once in a blue moon pawnbrokers get stung-com- pletely buncoed with their eyes wide open. It doesn't occur often, but when it does occur the results are painful and the victims become hign- ly emotional. Yesterday in a doz- en shops walls were still echoing from the woe of Friday and Saturday. One may entitle the story ''The Epi- sode of the Gold Mesh Bags" On Friday there went tripingly through the doorway of the first of this string of a Gozen such shops a lady with a gold mesh bag. She deposited the object of vanity upon the counter, fixed the pawnbroker with a melting eye and babbled her story. Her bank was in the country. She had no check q, book with her. SShe did not want to motor out to her country estate. She needed $50. Of course the bag was sufficient security for much more than the sum required.
 Uncle went to work with an eye mi croscope, scales and testing acid and the bag seemed to be all there and a yard wide. It weighed 100 penny weights. It seemed as honest as a Judge to the squinting eye, and the acid applied to the outer rim, the GUS tomary spot selected for testing such bags, gave the proper reaction.
 Habit spurred the banker to prof fer $40 instead of $50, but the lad, was excessively firm and stood hel ground for the whole amount. Thi: presently Uncle counted out with low. ing fingers, then the bag went intC H.
 Not ten minutes later about tn, same comedy was enacted in shoI a little further south in Eighth ave rue, except that in the second cas, the bargainer was a man, the ba, weighed 80 pennyweights and oni, $50 was asked. In third ant fourth instanceNs50 and $6O were ob tained, and in subsequent cases tn amounts received varied from $40 t $75.4
 Now it just happened that on Sat urday evening, when one yf tn Eighth avenue shops was locking II for the week end, clerk had a hume that the bag was not all that i seemed to be. It had hornswoggle Uncle and science, but he had hi doubts. He suggested casually that further acid test might be wort while.
 The bare suggestion made tn pawnbSoker goggle his eyes and gay him weak feeling at the pit of tn stomach, but he took the tip offer ed by his clerk and again applied tn acid, but to the inside of the rim, nc the outside, this time. Instantly tn drop of acid boiled bright green an simultaneously the whole world turr ed black for the pawnbroker. Frar tically he tested the bag from spC to spot, but the results sickened hin It was all a sham. a delusion, a snar
