Roads, Plea TO Cut Paw
Denied 10y Labor Board
Pending e Full Inquiry
Senate Likely to Rene,O
Debate or Rail Issue

From The Tr{bune's Washington Bursau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The
decision Of the Railroad Labor
Board against immediate abroga-
tion Of the national wage agree
ments with the brotherhoods is
expected here to intensity the in
terest already felt in the Senate
over the fate of the partial pay
ment bill for the railroads which
is pending in that body.
This bill, which recently passed
the House on a second vote, after
it had failed to pass on the first
vote, and w.sich is known as the
Winslow bill, has been reported
to the Senate by the Interstate
Commerce Committee. The bill
is likely to arouse debate over
the railroad situation in general,
including the complaints about
high rates and allegations of in
efficient management.

Miller Has Majorities
TO Pass Transit Bills
Reports in Ne,o York Papers
Of Changes Denied; Governor
Meets Correspondents To-day
From q Staff Correspondent

'c"PS''NN'''
ALBANY, Feb. 1O.-"Sheer bunk" is
the comment of friends of Governor
Miller on the stories appearing in two
New York City newspapers this morn
ing declaring that the Governor had
made concessions or compromises IN
his traction program.
One of the Governors confidants,
who talked with him at the executive
mansion this afternoon, where he has
been confined for more than two weeks
with a severe cold, said it could be an
nounced authoritatively that there was
absolutely no foundation for the re-
ports.
These reports had it that vital
changes had taken place in Governor
Mllers traction program, and that
among them was the concession that
the city would be party to modifica-
tion of existing contracts.
A friend of the Governor tonight in
formed The Tribune correspondent that
was contemplated. The Governor said
nearly three weeks ago that the city
would not be shunted to one side, as
some Of his critics suggested, but would
be a party to any changes in plan
which might be made, as is provided
for by law.
New York City legislators together
with certain Republican leaders were
given as authority for the published
statements in the two newspapers in
question.
The fact is that Governor Miller has
not discussed the traction situation
with any New York City legislator or
any Republican leaders of New York
City or their representatives since he
has been confined to the executive man
sion. Nor has he seen any New York
City men on any subject whatever in
the last three weeks.
The Governor has not recently dis
cussed traction with any persons ex-
cept Senator Clayton R. Lusk and
Speaker H. Edmund Machold; the lead
ers of the two houses, Majority Leader
Simon l.. Adler of the Assembly and
Senator John Knight, chairman of the
Senate Public Service Committee.
These men have held their counsel,
and any reports purporting to describe
the traction legislation beyond that the
legislation will embody the Governor s
expressed views on the situation is
pure guesswork. And most of it has
been bad.
Friends of the Governor declare that

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Following
the appearance to-day before the House
Committee on Military Affairs of
Charles D. McAvoy, United States Dis
trlct Attorney at Philadelphia, who
prosecuted Bergdoll's mother, and his
two-hour recital Of the case, the COM
mittee asked tonight for a complete
investigation by Congress of the cir

ing for reopening of the investiga-
ton. Chairman Julius Kahn declared
it is evident that there were "Iaxity and
negligence on the part of some govern
ment officials, particularly in the War
Department, to prevent the slacker's
escape" Mr.. Kahn is confident he will
obtain special rule under which the
resolution will be considered within
the next few days and it is practically
certain the special committee to start
the Bergdoll inquiry will be named be-
fore the end of next week
r.
Ayoy's testimony was his declaration
that he believed there had been no
wholesale bribery involved in the case
SO far as responsible government Off
cials or service officers were concerned
and his emphatic statement that Clar-
ence Gibboney, attorney for Bergdoll
is dead.
Got Gold From Treasury
Questions from members of the COM
mlttee, however, strongly indicated
their belief that there was laxity on
the part of some officials of the War
Department. While Mr.. McAvoy told
the committee that he believed all the
facts concerning the escape are known
their action in reporting out the reso-
luton is taken as an indication that
they feel that laxity In administration
and Judgment brought about the. situa-
tlon and that a more thorough inyes-
tigation of the facts is necessary.
One feature of the case in which
members of the committee evinced par
tlcular interest was the testimony of
Mr.. McAvoy of how Bergdoll had OBJ
I@Ine" YA0o'V"0 liz gola from the
United States Treasury when special
efforts were being made to hoard il
there and of how he had obtained per
mission to leave his prison on so fimsy
an excuse as q search for buried
treasure.

clared that all the money that had ever
been traced as counsel or similar fees
was $4,000. This, ne said. was divided
between Judge John W. Westcott. OF
Moorestown, N. j.; Gibboney ana the
law firm of Ansell & Bailey, of
Washington.
Judge Westcott's share of S1,2E0 in
this money was one of the interesting
developments of the day. He twice

Eitel Friedrich.
Miss MackaySmith then was living
with her mother at 1875 South Twenty
second Street, Philadelphia, and agents
of the Department of Justice kept con
stant watch upon the house, hoping
to capture Captain Boy-Ed. Miss
Mackay-Smith refused to see the
agents when they requested an inter
view, but said she had not seen the
German since he left this country in
1916. Her mother branded the report
that he had returned as "ridiculous."
1t was reported that soon before
America declared war the marriage OF
the officer and Miss Mackay-Smith was
blocked by an officer of the United
States Navy who was censor in the
wireless station at Sayville, L. l. He
is said to have held up a wireless
which granted the Kaiser's permission
for the wedding.
Mrs. Mackay-Smlth and her daughter
moved to Washington from Philadel.

Smith on November 16, 1911. They re-
turned to Philadelphia in 1916, but
later went to Washington again.

Dougherty as Bishop of Nueva Sagovia,
the Philippines, in 1908.
From 1775 to 1911 America had only
one Cardinal. Pope Plus x for the
first time, in the Consistory OF 1911, in
creased the number of American car
dinals to three. In addition, Monsig-
nor Falconio, Apostolic Delegate at
Washings n, who received the red hat
in the same consistory. was an Ameri-
can citizen.
Pope Benedict has preserved the tra-
dition of Plus x by keeping the num-
Der of American cardinals at three, but
in view of the fact that the United
States is the third Catholic power in
the world, following INN! ediately after
Italy and France, the prevailing opin-
ion here has been that the cardinalates
in the United States would be in
creased in number.
The Sacred College after the Masch
cocsistory will number sixty-three, of
which thirty cardinals will be Italian.
ceven red hats thus will be unas-
signed.

Band Concerts.

These Friday nights, while the
and boys are striving to give us
splendid music and we sit leisurely in
our cars and in the court house yard
ARE we appreciative enough of these
concerts and liberal enough in our ap-
plause of same? If we enjoy the
husic let the boys know we are en-
joying it by applauding and using our
car horns. Also by eliminating all
unnecessary disturbances during the
concert-for a few are thoughtless
enough to ruin the music for many of
us who enjoy it. The Butler Band
can not be beat-it's deserving of all
the applause we can give them and
more too. Let everyone lend a hand
in making concert nights even more
enjoyable than they have been. The
more applause, the more music and
better. Try it and see.

the old one and the seats are much
more comfortable.

Butler to Have Musical Organization

With all the musical talent that
Butler possesses, it was decided to
give music lovers a chance to see if
a musical club could be organized.
We could have large chorus and
community singing would be a great
feature and help-also a big orches-
tn would be probable-as well as
quartette and solo work. With all
the musical talent organized Butler
could really do something = and
could in the course of time give real
"pop" concerts. Classical, sacred and
popular music would be studied and
a capable director would be hired.
Any and all who would be interested
in the organization of . musical club.
and would know particulars or have
sugge stions to offer, will meet at the
Christian church next Monday night
at z:3o. when plans will be discussed.
IL enough interest ID manifested, we'll
organize = club and il not, then of
course, nothing doing An singers,
musicians and Others interested and
VIA push this project along, don't fail
to be at this meeting.
