PENN. OFFICERS COMPLAIN
 OF "HARDSHIP" AT SEA

New York, Juyl 29.-Seventy Penn Sylvania- officers who asserted they represented approximately 1900 other officers who returned from France to- day on the transport Zeppelin tonight made public a letter prepared at sea in which a congressional investigation is demanded of 'hardships and de gradations" they were made to suffer en route.
 Asserting they were listed to return first class and that they were un- aware they were to be crowded into steerage accommodations with an equal number of enlisted men, the of fcers declared the food was so dis gusting" that many threw their mess kits overheard in protest.
 They were given one towel they say, for the ten day voyage. With this they were expected to dry their mess kits three times a day, and use the same towel if they wished to bathe. There were fifteen shower baths, ac- cording to the officers, or one for each 100 passengers, while fresh water was almost unobtainable even for drink ing.

 OF NEW POLITICAL PARTY

Harrisburg, Pa. July 29.-The con- ference Of men formerly aligned with the Washington party in Pennsylvania to form an organization to secure cleo tion of republican national delegates next year who will be what they termed ''progressives' was adjourned to meet at the call of the chair late today after sharp interchange be- tween Chairman A. Nevin Detrich and Magistrate Robert Carson of Philadel- delphia- The trouble broke over the declaration of purpose" which Mir Carson, w. P. Roland of Scranton and others said sounded too much like a declaration of war against men inside of the party who did not agree with them.
 Clifford Pinchot. who was the nov ing spirit of he meeting: Fred F. Lewis of Allentown Lex N MitcheIl of Punxsatawney and Earl G. Boose of Dubois finally snoothed out the discussion and an amendment was adopted which welcomed the partici- patton and cooperation of every re- Chairman Detrich and Magistrate Carson had a difference of opinion and when the resolutions had been adopted Robert c. Bair of York said he did not want the movement to be "hamstrung' in a Philadelphia factional fight This brought up Mir. Carson again. who de- nounced the failure to invite various progressives. including himself. and said that the movement would be use it was to he used for benefit of either faction in Philadelphia. The chairman declared him wrong in his surmises and after some remarks between the men q, motion to adjourn was passed rather hurried1y.

Washington. July 29.-The special treaty with France. promising imme- diate American aid to that depub- lie in repelling any unprovoked at- tack by Germany was sent to the sem ate today by President Wilson.
 In his message urging ratification the president declared the promise a temporary supplement" to the treaty with Germany and the League of Ma tions cove. nt. designed to give France pro sction in an emergecy without awaiting the advice of the league to act" He pointed out that a similar promise had been made by Great Britain. and said that by the obligation the United States but par tially discharged debt to France which nothing can, pay'' in full.
 The senate. where the presidents s failure to submit the treaty sooner has lican members. received the message in open session and referred the treaty without diG~'---'o to the foreign rela- tions committee.
 There was reference in the mes- sage to the senate criticism, which was based on a clause of the treaty requiring that it be submitted to the senate of the United States at the same time as the treaty of Versailles D presented by the president on July 10. The message did refer to this clause, however, saying it was provided that the two treaties be ''the subject of consideration at the same time" and adding that as opportunity now had been offered to examine the Versailles

NORTH PENN BANK
 WAS g, IA GOO SHORT

PhiladeIphia June s29.-An amazing tale or alleged Juggling of bank ac- counts, false statements made to bank examiners, fictitious deposits and large overdrafts was told at a hearing today of Ralph T. Mover, accused cashier of the wrecked North Penn bank, before police magistrate. The testimony in dicated that the institution was ap- parently s2.144.000 short. Mover was held in $25. .O0O bail for trial. and as a result of the days revelations furthre arrests are expected
 One of the principal witnesses was Walter O.. Colhesh, bookkeeper in the bank. He testified that the statements showing the banks condition prepared for bank examiners were repeatedly falsified on orders from Mover. Changes were made in accounts, he said even when the bank examiner was in the building.
 Col1esh testified that he and two other bank employees. one of them brother of Mover, went to the bank at night during the time the bank was being examined by state examiners and doctored accounts. They took from the card index all overdrafts above s1 900, CoIf1esh testified, falsihed good accounts and others and finally ran out of material" "There were not enough accounts for us to doctor the figures" he said. All of this was done on orders from Mover. he testl- fled. The witness said he conf1ded what he knew to one of the directors of the bank. who told him not to withdraw any more cards rom the card index system.
 Robert P. Ferguson. bank examiner, testified that the overdrafts of the bank amount to $1.396.000, none of which was secured; that the checking account ledger showed $439,00o more than was on deposit. and the saving fund account of the bank showed s309.O more than was actually on hand when the bank closed. F'ergu- son testified that from an examination of the books he was of the opinion that the institution had been insolvent about one year and eight months.
 Evan L. Amber, assistant cashier of the bank told of irregularities. one of which was the keeping on the books of an "account' credited to fictitious John Jones' Entries for this account were made at the direction of Cashier Mover said Amb1er.
 q can explain everything they tried to bring out" said Mover after the hearing. Tt will be an easy job. 1 haven't thing to fear"

MARTIN BOMBING PLANES
 DAMAGER BEYOND REPAIR

Mineola, N. Y.. July 29.-Hope or sa1yaging- the big Martin bombing plane and the new Caproni triplane, two of the five aircraft damaged in the storm which swept the flying fields here yesterday, was abandoned late to- day after United States army aV1a- ton officers had made a thorough in spection of the wrecked machines.
 Earlier reports. based upon cur sorry eSamina ton. were that the Mar tin plane could be put in condition to start on it's proposed trans continent al flight next Friday, but the extent of the damage was not learned until Captain Roy Francis, who arrived here a few days ago after successful flight from Dayton. Ohio and who was to have piloted the bomber to hte Pa cific coast, visited the hangar to- day.
 A bolt of lightning had ripped a great hole in the roof of the she'd sending heavy iron girders crashing down upon the upper wings of the air plane Both motors and propellers were practically undan1aged but every other part was demolished.
 The Caproni, it was stated, was found so badly damaged that prac- tically a complete set of new parts would have to be installed before it could take to the air again.

treaty, it was opportune to present the other.
 Departing from his custom of deIiv- erfng his message to congress in per son, the president transmitted the treaty and his request for ratification by messenger. Both became public by the senate's unanimous agreement 10 remain in open session while the mes sage was read and to print 1t and the treaty in the record. The request that this course be followed was made by Chairman Lodge of the foreign re- lations committee.
 Although the committee has made no. definite plans. it Is likely that the treaty will be taken up by it within few days and considered jointly with the Versailles treaty. Before this is done, however. the committee will hear several of the experts who ad- vised the American peace delegation on economic subjects. Bernard Baruch. the first to be heard. will appear at public hearing Thursday
 The senate spent most of the day discussing the League of Nations Senator Thomas, democrat, Colorado in an address expressing doubt as to the efficacy of the league in attain ing international concord told his colleagues he had not yet decided whether he could support it. Senator Gay, democrat. Louisiana, urged it's ratification without reservation and Senator Nelson, republican, Minneso- ta, announced that while he wanted to see it atified he thought reservations necessary. e.l.l 4 ea lsfsalAs
