ARON BILL DANGER
SHOWN BY MAYOR
Moore criticizes Measure Com
peIling City to Clean Streets
by Contract
WOULD UPSET PROGRAM N

Introduction by Senator Max .Aron.
ware follower. of bill in the Senate
late last night which would make II
mandatory upon the city TO clean its
strects by contract. provided the con
tractors bids we're lower than the city
has been paying. brought warning to-
day from Mayor Moore.
senator Aron's bill would upset the
administration municipal street
geantng program by amending the city
charter so 1t would provide that the
CITY must advertise for street cleaning
blds ana the street cleaning work
shall instead of may" be done by
contract when authorized by City
Mayor Points Out Danger
The Legislature has the power to
Interfere with street cleaning in phia-
delphia IL II decides to do So said
the Mayor today. "1'hc defenders Of
the new city charter. however. should
be on the alert il they desire TO pro.

System as 1t has been inaugurItcd under
tho new city charter by the Mayor.
Apparently. contractor control in
the state has not yet been wholly olim-
mated, but in Philadelphia We lave the

It unless oycrriddcp. by the Legislature.
The administration cards arc on
the table. The administration has put
municipal street cleaning on the map:
It is now operating successfully in the
old city proper, and from Columbia ave-
nue.. on the north to South street on
thc south and from river to river.
We propose to take over the entire
city in accordance with existing law.
This may be undertaken on the first Of
next January, or beforc--vcry probably,
before-if the plans of the director Of
public works are successful
Council Made Supreme
tndcr the Aron bill situation might
arise under which the majority of
Council would decree by ordinance that
city work shall be done by contract.
Council might even 80 so far AS TO
decree that city work shall be done by
contract in the districts originally
handled by Senator Ware. who boastcd
that he was the largest municipal con-
tractor in the world. The Mayor made
q dent in the senator reputation when
he decided TO take over the Ware street
cleaning job and have it dong by the
IL Council should decide that certain
work shall be done by contract. then
there would be no alternative for the
Mayor. The Mayor might veto the or
dinancc containing such provisions. but
the burde en- would then be thrown on
him to determine by court decision as
to whether II is mandatory on him to
follow the directions of Council. In
the meantime all sorts of trouble might
urise relative to the collection of ashes
and garbage. And ashes and garbage
are Of such an obnoxious character that
must be made in large city
regularly. or the people cry out insist
emily for relief.

FARMERS TAKE RITE
FIGHT TO HARDING

Washington. April 2O.--tBy \. P.)
Farmers from all parts Of the United
States meeting hero today under the
auspices of the National Farmers
Union decided to take their fight for u
reduction in freight rates direct to Pres =
dcnt Harding.
This decision was reached after
Spokcsmen for the farmers had .con :
fcrrcd with members of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to urge lower
rates. The delegates apparently were
dissatisfied with the outcome of this con =
ference.
Members of the union. headed by Ma
tional Secretary Davis. told the com =
mission that besides reducing the loss
now sustained by the farmers in the
sale of their crops, lowering of freight
rates would be big psychological fac
tor in starting the marketing of farm
products and general price reduction
In other lines.
Unable to market their own products.
the farmers. the spOkcsmcn said. are
virtually on buyers strike, NJ there is
no prospect of conditions improving in
time to bring better prices for next
years crops.
Commissioner McChOrd declared rail =
roads had lost about SIS. .OOO. 900 in op-
Grafton during the last year. Money
labor and equipment arc all abnormally
high said he.
Mr.. Davis said it decreases in freight
rates would not increase the volume of
business to the railroads sufficiently to
make profit for them the farmers
would rather pay the railroad deficit in
the form of taxes than bear the entire
burden of high freight rates.
President MacSparran. Of the Penn
sIlvania Grange. asserted that the pres
ent high labor costs resulted from cf-
forts of railroad executives during fed.
cral control to prove government own
ership failure.

PROBE ENDS;
MAI. CAMPBELL UPHELD
Father Corroborates Statement
OF Army officer Regarding
Money in Question:

washington, July 26. The Congress
sional investigation of the escape OF
Grover G. Bergdoll which has mad
several dramatic episodes, was re-
sumed yesterday, when the spcciai
committee of the House of Represen-
tatives heard the father of Major
Bruce II. Campbell. U. s. A., who cor
roborated the testimony of his son
that tho father acted as the messenger
who carried 1000 which had been
earned for his son by the late Colonel
Milton Young of Lexington. Ky. out
OF a $500 investment.
The committee and the large crowd
OF euriously inclined women. many
the same who rushed screaming from
the room last Saturday during the
uproar caused by the attempt of Rep
rescntative Ben Johnson OF Kentucky
to draw pistol on G. A. Braun, the
brother of Bergdoll- witnessed de-
scent from the highly dramatic TO the
pathetic.
After Major Campbell had concluded
brief statement Representative
johnson painted the life of Colonel
Young which brought tears to his
eyes several times and checked his
voice with sobs.
The hearing yesterday ended peac-
fHlly and with IL the committee con-
clud,.d its inquiry without deter1nln-
ing who was responsible for the escape
of Borgdoll for which object 1t was
begun.
Indications are that the committee
will NOT pass upon the truth or falsity
of the statements fnade by Mrs. Berg
doll that $1,000 was given TO Major
Campbell to help free her son, and the
denial made by Major Campbell, whose
explanation in all its essential details
was corroborsted today by the officer {
father. IL the majority members agree
with the position of Chairman Peters
the committee win recommend that
the Inspector Generals office continue
the investigation and go more fully
into the complaint made by Mrs. Berg
doll against Major Campbell.
The committe also deferred action
on the mystery of the $780, 600 on
more in gold. on the hunt for which
the draft dodger escaped. Mrs. Berg

Resort to Militant Methods to
Reduce High Cost OF
Living.

Rome, July 2e.-The Fascist or ex-
treme NationaAsts. have now taken a
hand in reducing the cost of living,
bringing into their solution of it the
militant methods which characterized
the recent election campaign.
Their appeals to the storckeepers
throughout Italy have not met with
fat refusal for the storekeepers have
advertised reductions ranging from
ten TO Is per cent. The reductions are
especially noticeable in the dry goods
stores. The effect has been 10 till
these stores with shoppers. Shoe
stores. clothing stores. cafes. restau~
rants. hardware stores. have increased
their sales immensely in consequence.
The vendors OF the prime neces-
sites however. are having their diff
ficulties. They ask the peasants TO
reduce the prices to them but the
peasants refuse. As result. the
pea asants have gone on strike and
refuse to bring the produce into the
cities and suffer the reductions i'm
posed by the Fascisti's demands.
A fruit vendor was found selling his
wares without any reduction the other
day. He was accosted by several
Fascist who demanded that the price
he reduced. lie demonstrated that he
was doing the selling not they. The
remark led to quarrel. The Fas-
cisu cluhbed the vendor severely. lie
was taken to the hospital where he
died shortly after his arrival.
In other cttieS. Fascist are PATROL
ling uApe markets. They ARE armed
with polic~mens clubs and inquire the
prices. III the prices have not been re-
duced they fu-cc the vendor to sell for
less.

den. 1t n believed that the committees
will issue Its, coinpletc report IN about
two weeks.
An unexpected turn n ths last
moment was a demand by Rcprcsrn-
tative LuhrinE OF Indiana. Republi-
can member of the COMMITTEES, that the
alien property custodian, Colonel
Thomas W. Miller. be ordered forth
with to fnd and recover 100000 in
gold taken from the treasury a year
or more ago and alleged to have been
buried
Mr.. Luhring insisted that the evi-
dence developed by the committee In
dicated that the gold was obtained
from government vaults for bribery
purposes and that II still buried. as
the woman asserts, II ought TO br dus
up and put back In the government
hands.
All along the gold has stood out as
the real mystery of the Bergdoll czse
although no amount Of questioning
could bring from Mrs. Rerwdoll any
statement beyond the cryptic reply
that II was buried and that the burial
spot was nobody's business
The committee deferred action on
the gold question until It's report IL
formally presented to the House.
