RE|CHSTAG TO VOTE
UPON GERMANY'S
APPEAL TO HARDING
Simons Believed to Have
Strengthened Position by
RepaTation Moves.

BERLIN, April 27 ASSOCIATED
Prcss). German Cabinet faced
to-day vote by the Reichstag on the
Governments policy in its reparation
moves, including its appeal to Presi-
dent Harding for mediation and the
new reparation proposals.
Just what the Cabinets fate will be
IL the effort for a settlement made
through President Harding should fail
is not known.
1t seems generally considered that
Dr. Walter Simons, the Foreign Min
ister, materially strengthened his po-
sition in the Reichstag as a result OF
his speech OF yesterday, in which he
not only dealt with Germanys APP
peal to President Harding, but in
which he gave what party leaders
designate as the most Illuminating
analysts OF the reparation issue yet
delivered by him.
The Foreign Minister expressed he
lief that the action of the Cabinet in
this situation would ultimately re-
oclve full approval Defending his
appeal 10 Washington and referring
to President Harding and Secretary
Of state Hughes, DR. Simons said:
- state which is still at war with
another state naturally cannot act as
n mediator. but its leader can do so,
and he Is a man who is ardently
champioping the idea Of arbitration
and who Is being advised by G's-
tinguished jurist. But we are not
only addressing ourselves TO these
men personally, but also appealing 10
the principle OF justice"
The Foreign Minister read the
Reiohstag d brief lesson on parliamen-
tary practice. declaring that under a
democratic Government the Cabinet
was not obliged TO seek the consent
OF Parliament in advance when un-
dertaking important action.
''The men who conduct the Govern
ment," he SAID, must have courage
to assume the responsibility for their
acts. II they have not that courage,
then you might as well dispense with
them"

PENNA. r. r. CUTS
DIVIDEND TO 20
First Reduction of Quarterly Pre-
MUM in D Years Puts Stock
on 4 Per Cent. Basis.

PHILADELPHIA, April 27-The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to-
day reduced its quarterly dividend
TO per cent. The decrease is a quar-
terly reduction OF one-half per cent.
This is the first time in twenty two
years the Pennsylvania has reduced
the annual dividend basis below per
cent. Since 1899 il has paid per cent.
annually, with the exception OF 1906,
when II paid 1-2, and in 1907, when it
returned per cent. For seven years
prior to 1899, the dividends were s
per cent.
The announcement OF the reduCt on
did not come as surprise. for II had
been widely predicted the company
would cut its dividends to meet the
general slump in business. Last No
vemlber the company started to re-
duce it's expenses by dismissing thou
tands OF employees and asking all
officers and employees TO accept
reduction in pay to permit the COM
pany to meet expenses. 1t was fully
expected the stockholders would
share in the general reduction in
earnings.

C|TYS PLEA FOR INJUNCTION
TO BLOCK TRANSIT BOARD
IS ARGUED BEFORE M'AVOY
Johnson Says Act Creating
Commission Violates State
and Federal Constitution.
FILE BRIEFS MONDAY.
Senator Ayers Fares Will Be
Raised Unless Board Is Re-
strained Pending Test.

Justice NcA'o. IN the Supreme
Court to-day heard arguments on tho
appncation uf the city for an injunc-
''on to restrain the Transit Commits
sion, consisting of George McAneny,
John f. O'Ryan and Leroy T. Hark-
ness, from performing any duties Of
an official nature until the status Of
the commission is legally determined
At the conclusion OF the arguments
he directed that both sides submit
briefs on Monday, and a decision is
expected shortly after the briefs are
.led.
senator Hiram Johnson argued the
.ase for The city and Former Justice
Trancis NJ. Scott for the Transit Com
mission In the course OF the pro-
ceedings Justice McAvoy made two
Inquiries which had strong interest
for the lawyers in the case.
The senator from California en-
phasized that the legislation creating
the Transit Commission takes away
from the Board of Estimate control of
the city's investment in the subways.
'-ae maintained that this is a violation
Of the Constitution.
Don't you think" asked the court,
chat the Legislature has the power to
substitute the Transit Commission FOR
The Board Of Estimate?"
The Senator also emphasized the
contention that the city has no option
but to accept any plan Of rehabilita-
tion adopted by the Transit Comnns-
sion. Mr.. Scott in his argument set
up that the commission has not even
approached the preparation OF a plan.
Isn't it conceivable" the court in
CURED, that the commission might
submit a plan which would be ac-
ceptable TO the city,"
Senator Johnson opened and closed
the arguments, and his final state
ment was: I'VE aver that this com
mission, if it is not restrained until
the legality of the act creating it is
passed upon, will raise the fares in
this city"
Justice McAvoy gave both sides un-
til Monday to file briefs. IN the
meantime the Transit Commission will
continue to function under the Cir
Cumstances attending its amicable
seizure, yesterday of the offices and
records of the old commission. None
OF the new Transit Commissioners
nor Public Service Commissioners was
in court.
Senator Johnson's opening address
went over all the points that have
been so frequently set up by Corpora

and all the opponents OF the new
transit scheme. He paid particular
attention to the confiscatory nature
