House Fight Due
on Dry Bill

Continued From Pago Ono
extends the prohibition beyond that of
the original act and to that extent is
new legislation which Congress has not
the right now TO pass under the war
power. We believe the original act
should be repealed.
Ignores Concurrent Power
"Second. That MS to the constitutional
prohibition Section , of the amend
ment provides that the Congress and
the several states shall have concur
rent power to enforce this article by
appropriate legislation, and the bill
presented is wholly upon the theory
that the action of Congress is supreme
and totally ignores the concurrent power
of the several states.
Third. That the bill goes beyond the
prohibitional constitution amendment.
particularly in defining Intoxicating
liquors. so as to include beverages
that are not. in fact, Intoxicating.
Congress began a new chapter when
it convened today after weeks re-
cess. Having passed all of the appro-
priatiop bills carrying funds needed for
the fiscal year, leaders planned to begin
work at an early date on the recon-
struction legislation made necessary by
the change of the country from war
to peace basis, while in the Senate the
next few months at least are expected
to be given over largely to discussion
of the German peace treaty and re-
lated subjects.
Await Presidents Appearance
The appearance before the Senate
Thursday of President Wilson to ex-
plain the peace treaty and its league of
nations covenant and the Franco Amer
lean agreement, in the opinion of SEN
ators, eclipsed all other matters on the
Senate program for the week.
In the House, activity this week will
center on committee work, with the cx-
ception that legislation for enforcing
prohibition will be called up for
consideration on the floor. Investi-
CATION of War Department expendi-
lures will be continued during the week
by subcommittees, while work on some
phases of merchant marine legislation
will be undertaken by subcommittee of
the merchant marine committee. The
interstate commerce committee plans to
complete its program for hearings on
railroad legislation that are to begin
July 10.

DIVER SEEKS BODY
OF BOY FROM HERE
DROWNED AT CAMP
MuIford Heintz Died in New
Hampshire Lake Only After
Thrilling Attempt to Save Him

The body of Mulford Heintz, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Leo Heintz, 2120 Tioga
street, who was drowned in Lake Win
nepesaukee, Camp Tecumseh, Center
Harbor, N. H., last Saturday, has not
been recovered.
Mr.. Heintz went to Center Harbor
to help in the search as soon as he
learned of the disaster on Sunday, but
no word has been received from him
as yet.
Details of the drowning now available
show that young Heintz was drowned
only after one of the camp executives
had made such heroic effort to save
him that the executive himself was al
most drowned and was hauled from the
water unconscious.
With Alec Grant, an executive, and
several other councillors, a large party
of boys started last Saturday to the
head of the lake by canoe, from where
it was planned to tramp to Red Hill
a point of local interest.
In the middle of the lake, the rear
canoe capsized. in which were Heint7
and several other youths. Only ont
boy was in trouble at first, and Mr.
Grant and Mr.. Sweeney, another ex.
ccutive. looked after him and guided
him safely.
Heintz gave no concern at first and
swan strongly toward n nearby boat.
Walter Johnson. an executive, swan
near him. Heintz told him he was be-
coming tired and asked for assistance.
Johnson tried to support the fast tirins
boy, but when Heinta got frightened
and grabbed johnson when he suffered
an attack of cramps, both went down.
johnson still tried to keep the boy
afloat, but without success. Shortly
afterward others in the party saw
johnson himself going down and res
cued him.
A diver is on the scene now searching
for the body. '... n

GIRLS HAIRCUTS COSTLY
Parents Wreck School to Extent o.
$1,000 for Revenge

Aberdeen, Scotland, July S.-(Ry A.
P.l-The parents of children attending
an elementary school here have shown
their resentment against the action of
the authorities in cutting off the hair
of girl pupils by an attack on the
school.
: Armed with missiles a large crowd of
men, women and children, women pre-
dominating, gathered near the school,
1t being understood that the doctor was
about to apply the scissors to other
pupils hair. However, it was impos-
sible to convince the crowd that the
doctor had left earlier in the day,
whereupon the school windows were
wrecked and damage amounting to
more than $1,000 was caused. Forty
policemen were required to keep order
In the crowd, which was estimated at
5000.
School authorities had cut the girls
hair for reasons of health. The parents
contended that such action should not
have been taken without their consent.

FRANCE OPTIMISTIC,
SAYS j. S. CONSUL
Samuel Edleman, Who Served
in Turkey and Switzerland,
Says Year Made Difference
OFFICIAL VISITING HERE

Maintaining that the psychological
difference in France between last year
and this is as the difference between
the darkness of the Middle Ages and
the dawn of the twentieth century,
Samuel Edleman, special consul in
TURKEY and later in Switzerland, has
returned to Philadelphia, optimistic Of
the future abroad.
He is visiting his mother, Mrs. Rose
Edleman, and sister, Reba, at GIG
Locust street. His wife and fourteen-
month old daughter, Reba, who was
born in Geneva, remain in London.
Although reticent on the special mis-
sions with which he was intrusted while
abroad, Mr.. Edleman, who was in Tur-
key in 1914 when the war started, says
the United States was fully alive to
what was going on, and knew great
deal more about the world situation
than the government let the nation at
large know.
He was the lone civilian on the trans
port Finland which docked at Boston
Sunday.
Geneva went wild when It learned
It had been chosen as the seat of the
league of nations" he said. ''It is,
without doubt, the proper place for
that body. People in Europe regard
President Wilson ms the outstanding fig
ure in the crucial developments Of the
war, and his efforts in bringing the
league to pass have won their admira-
ton.
II was asked by the President, by
telegram, to deliver an address in French
at Annecy, France, on the occasion OF
the remaining of boulevard after Mr..
Wilson. The spirit of victory and Of
gratitude for it was apparent, but un-
fortunately the French have begun to
spend their money and are doing little
with the problems of reconstruction;
only waiting developments.
Here you may think the cost of liv-
ing is high, but you ought to compare IL
with the wartime situation in Switzer-
land, for instance. A quarter pound
of bread day, a half pound of butter
a month, hot water to bathe once
week, 81 for linen collar-these are
items in the high cost of living there.
"Now that the war is over and peace
is signed. these countries hardest hit
by the war believe and expect they will
get raw materials, loans of capital, and
in general helping hand from us to
put them back on their feet. They look
to America for much that no other ma
ton can give"
Mr.. Edleman, who graduated from
the University of Pennsylvania in 1905,
has been ten years in the consular
service. He speaks English, French,
German and Turkish. After two day
stay here he expects to go to Washing-
ton to confer over his future work and :
to make reports ON his findings. He says
he hopes to return to Europe soon.

.FAVORS FEDERAL
CONTROL OF RAILS
Interstate Commissioner Be-
lieves Better Results Obtain
able by U. S. Operation
TELLS OF ADVANTAGES

Washington, July S.-Better results
in transportation can be obtained by
maintaining and improving federal
operation than by returning ito old
methods in whatever guise." Joseph h.
Eastman, member of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, declared today
in communication to the Senate inter
state commerce committee. He was not
a member of the commission when the
commissions views on the railroad sit.
uation were given the committee last
winter.
Mr.. Eastman declared that federal
control of the roads should continue so
as to insure necessary capital at low
cost; to avoid undtily high rates; to
solve the problem of the weak" roads |;
to obtain the operating advantages
which come from unfication and to pro
mote right relations with labor.
Criticism Not Fatal
Summing up the situation" he said,
there are grounds for criticism of
operation and policy since the begin
ming of federal control. Most of these
were products of the times in which we
have been living and could not have
been avoided. For some the rail-
road administration may properly be
held responsible. But none of them
Justifies the conclusion that national
operation is unsound or that it ought to
be abandoned.
Guaranty of dividends was opposed
by Mr.. Eastman as ''mongrel and un-
satisfactory arrangement" which would
impair private initiative.
Freight Rates and Wages
CAS- for raising rates." the commits
sioner continued in discussing the need
of the roads for capital, there never
was a time when conservatism was more
desirable. We have had ample reason
of late to fear the coming ofsan endless
chain of rising wages and prices. In
creases in freight rates have results
more far reaching than many realize,
affecting as they do the prices of both
uct. The roads have recently been op-
Grating with earnings which would
drive many of them to bankruptcy If
they were in private hands; but the
director general has felt, and l think
wisely, that the depression may be the
temporary result of the uncertainty fol-
lowing the cessation Of hostilities and
that the country can better afford, for
time at least. to carry the burden of
insufficient revenues through taxation,
as a part of the war cost, than to suf-
fer further advances in rates whose ul-
innate effects no man can foretell.
Coming to the labor problem, the
fact that further raising of rates could
more easily be avoided under national
operation would in itself make the labor
situation less difficult, for advances in
rates and wages are apt to go hand in
hand. But I also believe that the gov
ernmcnt can deal with the problem with
stronger and surcr hand than private
operators, and, under present conditions,
moro easily secure cooperation.
Mr.. Eastman said the railroad ad-
in the midst of great diff
ficultics had relieved congestion and
handled troops and war freight with
credit to ITSELF ~

ACCUSED GIRL RELEASED
Magistrate Dismlsses Charge OF
Theft Against Miss McNamara


Miss Katherine Mcnamara, 11S
South Fifty fifth street, was granted
her freedom last night by George NJ. s.
Light, justice of the peace at Consho-
hocken, before whom she was tried on
the charge of stealing a $3.50 ring from
her former suitor, Louis Mccall. 1t is
said that she and Mccall, who swore
out the warrant for her arrest, reached
an agreement while on the way to Con-
shohocken.
The warrant was obtained yesterday,
but when an arrest was attempted at
the Empire Building, where Miss Nc
Namara is a hairdresser, there was
trouble. Frank Lowry, a city detec-
tive, and William Head, of the Con-
shohocken force, only captured the girl
after a chase along the corridors of the
building. and at the City Hall, after a
trial before Magistrate Pennock, she
escaped and ran fifty yards before being
captured again.
