RAILROAD CAR "HOSPIT,AL"
IN OVERBROOK FREIGHT YARD
Damaged Rolling Stock Is Hauled Here From Distant Points
and Stored-2OO Patients With 4imenfs 4,rait Repairs

Pbiladelphiaus whose homes are on
the Main Line pass on their way to and
from the city q cluster OF battered
freight cars standing in the Overbrook
ward of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The
cars have been there 81 long there has
been much speculation as TO the reason
they were not repaired and put into
use again. in view of the reports of
car shortage,
Some business men who looked at the
idle cars day after day accepted the
sight as another indication Of the effect
of government control upon great rail-
road 1t was supposed that the heavy
expenditures during wartime control had
left little cash for repairing. But it
was said today at the Pcnnsylvauia
Railroad general offices that this was
not the cause of the founding of the
Home for Crippled Cars in Phila-
delphia.
1t was explained that there were few
yards along the railroad which could be
used for the storing of damaged cars
until they could be repaired; and that
for this reason cars were brought to
Ovcrbruuk from n considerable distance.
Some of the cars, it, was said, come
from as distant points MS Altoona. y
less conspicuous place for the car hos
pital would nave been chosen, it was
explained, had there been another stor-
age yard in which the cars could be
,I,e t,,, - 80,
to railroad traffic.
There are about 200 cars in the Over
brook storage yard. Some are only
slightly damaged aud others look as
though they called for almost complete
reconstruction.
The Overlook yard. although SO close
to Philadelphia. is situated in such Il
! way that it is not easy of access from
! the city streets. This limits its use to
| storage purposes. Although in plain
| sight of passing trains, it is i'll one OF
the most out Of the way spots to be
found near Philadelphia. Surrounding
! it are hills, which have been cut into
/ in such n way that the sides are loose
and steep entertainments. On both sides
! the level Of the city streets is much
! higher than the yard.
| The last date for which figures were
obtniuablc. September Is, showed "A,
5i5 freight cars on the Pennsylvania
system unavailable. because of the nccC
for repairs. This is more than ~ pei
ccut of the company's total number ot
freight cars, which is about 100,0 900
In normal times the number of idle
cars, awaiting repairs averages from
5000 TO 10000.
The situation in regard to locomotives

ADDRESSES LINCOLN CROWD

Lincoln, Neb., Sept 1S.--Addressiug
large and enthusiastic gathering here
last night, Senator Hirma w. Johnson,
OF California, denounced the league of
nations covenant as au Infamous docu-
mept and declared that its adoption
would result in throwing the country
into an international confederation and
deprive the republic of its future indie
pendence of action. 1t would, he said,
substitute misty internationalism for
Americanism.
Lieutenant Colonel John 6. Ntahcr. Il
Democrat and president of the Ne
braska branch of the American Legion,
introduced the speaker. Governor s. Il.
Mchelvie was on, the stage.
Senator johnson said:
The President has made, and asked
the Senate to approve, league cove
nhnt that is to be higher than our. con =
stitutin. Except the sovereign peo
pie. no power on earth legally can
change our constitution or make an
other t. override it. None but the peo
pie should be permitted to throw this
independent republic into an interna
tional confederation where it necessa
rily must lose its independence of action
''The people can dc that, but lie
nublic servant or servants of those peo
pie should be permitted to do it. 1t is
admitted by the President that we lose
our independence in the league"
After enumerating the burdens which
the peace pact imposes on the United
States, Senator johnson said
1.-The great fundamental question

qualification is, roughly, that the
member must have satisfied the
council that his or her scientific at

university qualifications. The socl-
ETY. was represented at the confer
ence on the application of the Whit

included clerks, the army clothing

stance of the ready response is
found in letter received at tho

In the Seattle public schools,
Supt. Frank B. Cooper has accept
ed membership in the King county
executive committee, and has ar
ranged for fitting memorial exer-
cises in all the grades. Similar ac-
ton is being taken in other cities
and towns all over the state. The
state committee is distributing
suggested programs for memorial
meetings which feature the Ameri-
canism Of Roosevelt and the les
sons of patriotism which can be
drawn from his life.
During the week prior to Octo-
Der 9th, an opportunity will be
given every citizen to contribute
toward fund for erecting perma-
nent memorials which will be a
visible token, now and in future,
of the regard in which great
people hold his valor, his square
dealing and his splendid Ameri-
canism. During his life Colonel
Roosevelt strove with all his re-
markable energy and fearlessness
for those things which he felt
were right and for the best inter
ests of his country. His activity in
political fields made for him
staunch friends, loyal followers
and vigorous opponents. His
death has wiped out all partisan
distinctions and his patriotic prin-
ciples have become the common
heritage of the entire people. The
list of men who form the National
Roosevelt Memorial Association
includes w. II. Taft, Judge Alton
B. Parker, and other former polit-
zeal opponents, while state and
county organizations have as mem
bers prominent citizens of all po-
litical parties.
1t is a real privilege for every
citizen to share in such memorials.
Their value and the worth of pre-
serving such ideals cannot be com
puted in terms of money. They are
