Want Modification of
Courts-Martial Findings
When Errors Are Found
By Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Adoption
of some plan which would perm!a
of modification of the findings of
courts-martial when it was shown
that errors of trial had been made
was urged before a Senate Military
subcommittee to-day by Samuel L.
Ansell, who recently resigned from
the Army.
Illustrating his contention that
the present system is wrong, Anscll
called attention to the execution of
negro soldiers at San Antonio,
Texas, recently, before the popers
in the case had been sent to the
office of the Judge Advocate Cen
eral. 1t was deemed sufficient, he
said, that the commanding genei al
of the department in which the
crime was committed, had approved
the findings of the court.
Mr.. Ansell endorsed the Chamber
lain bill for revision of the mill
tary justice system, on which the
committee is holding hearings and
existed during the war some cases
been obviated.
To deny Congress the right tc
create a court of revision would be
to confer "kingly power" on the
President, he said. He told the COM
mittee that in writing to France,
asking that certain courts-martial
cases there be held up for revision.
the Judge Advocate General of the
Army said care must be taken or
Congress would be asked to create
an appellate court.

Wreck Ties Up Trains on
Middle Division of P.R.R.

While proceeding eastward east
bound extra freight No. 72 had IL
laden coal cars wrecked SUNDAY
morning at Van Dyke, east of Nyifflin.
The train was in charge of Conduc-
tor J. F. Wallace and Engineer r. L.
Howard and was moving along the
No. 2 track at the time of the acci-
dent. The cause of the wreck mas
not be determined, but an investi-
cation is under way. Luckily no one
was riding on that section OF the
train at the time and no one was in
jured.
The cars wrecked were laden with
coal and were thrown about in such
a way that not only We're all four
tracks blocked but considerable dam
age was done to the rails of all four.
As a result of the blockade there
was considerable delay to traffic,
both passenger and freight Traffic
was held up for hours.

NOTE TO JOSEPH
IS MADE PUBLIC
Allied Communication to the
Hungarian Archduke Is
Given Out
BIZ Associated Press.

Paris, Aug. % (Saturday).-The Su-
preme Council has sent the follow
ing note to the Hungarian government
in which announcement was made
that the council would have no deal
ing with a government headed by
Archduke Joseph, or any other mem
ber of the Hapsburg family:
THE Allied and Associated powers
have been further considering infor-
nation derived from our reports. and
from other sources, as to recent
events in Budapest. Their conclu-
sions are as follows:
"They are most anxious to con-
clude a durable peace with the Hun
garian people, but they feel that this
cannot be done while the present
Hungarian government Is in power.
That government came into existence
not by the will of the people, but by
by a coup d'etat carried out by a
small body of police, under the pro-
lection of a foreign army.
1T has at its head a member of
the House of Hapsburg, whose poll
cies and actions were largely respon-
sible for the calamities under which
the world is suffering, and will long
suffer \ peace negotiated by such
a government is not likely to be
lasting; nor can the Allied and Asso-
ciated governments give the econom-
ic support which Hungary needs.
In its reply that Archduke Joseph
is prepared. before approaching the
Allied and Associated governments,
to submit his claims to the test of
popular elections, we must reply that
this procedure cannot be satisfactory
If the election to be carried out un-
der the auspices of an administra-
tion which the Archduke himself con-
trolls
THE difficulties in the way of OBJ
tanning the election of a faithful re-
Election of the popular will are, in
the present unhappy state of Hun
gary, most serious. They would be
overwhelming if an election were
carried out under Hapsburg influence.
Even if an assembly elected under
such circumstances were really rep
resentatiVe, no one would think so.
I'm the interest. therefore, of Eu-
ropean peace the Allied and Associ-
ated governments mean to insist that
the present claimant to the leader
ship of the Hungarian state should
resign and that a government, in
which all parties are represented,
should appeal to the Hungarian peo-
pie.
THE Allied and Associated powers
would be prepared to negotiate with
any government which possessed the
confidence of an assembly so elect
ed"
The note was signed by Premier
Clemenceau.

a NEWS OF HE
A#a2RA1ROARS ;
M'ADOO FAMILY
RODE ON PASSES
Senators Hear of Many Free
Tickets Issued by Federal
Officials

Not only were large salaries paid
out by the railroad administration
during the war, and some are still
in force, but it is said that passes
were rather numerous. A dispatch
from Washington says:
Among the interesting disclosures
in the report to the Senate on rail-
road passes by Director General OF
Railroads Hines is that William
Gibbs McAdoo, who announced
when he took over the railroads
that he intended to reduce materi-
ally the number of passes, not only
had a pass himself, but that three
members of his family also had
them.
Perhaps even more interesting, he
still retains n Pullman pass and SO
do the members of his family. MI.
McAdoo is described in the report
as explaining that he has a pass as
special counsel for the State, of
New York The members of his
family who have passes are Mrs.
McAdoo, President Wilson's daugh-
ter; Robert II. McAdoo, Mr.. Nc
Adoo's son, and Miss S. McAdoo, a
daughter.
Passes Good Anywhere
Inquiry into the number of passes
was made by Senator Trueman II
Newberry, of Michigan-who de-
feated Henry Ford-after he no
ticed a travelling companion tie
other day with a pass good over all
railroads in all States. He found It
numbered higher than 1900, so on
his return to Washington he put
in n resolution, which the Senate
adopted, calling for the number of
passes granted to officials and their
families. The figures do not include
passes to workers other than Off
cials, and do not include trip passes.
Surprise to Senators
Senators were astonished at the
results, it having been thought that
the government control would have
the effect, as promised by Mr.. Nc
Adoo, of greatly curtailing the num-
Der of passes, especially to members
of families of officials.
There Were 1880 wives, daugh-
ters, sons, other relatives and near
relatives or railroad officials travel
ing on all-lines annual railroad
passes during the last year of gov
ernment operation of the roads.
And there We're 1,096 wives, daugh-
ters, sons, other relatives and near
relatives of these officials who en-
joyed the privilege of all-line an
nual Pullman passes.
How the record compares with
conditions under private operation
of the roads cannot be stated, for
the reason that the record has never
before been public.
Attached to the main report,
which is very brief, is a complete
list of the names, addresses ard
positions of officials themselves en-
joying the privileges.
The Family Pass List
1t was from this list that tho
following classification of the pass
holding relatives, etc, was obtained:
