INQUIRER BUREAU, 1320 STREET WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 2S. There is no "present definitely-formulated plan" on the part of the United Staes Government to dispose of the exceedingly valuable dock facilities of the North German Lloyd and Hamburg-American steamship lines in New York.

So much was explicitly declared tonight to The Inquirer correspondent by a prominent official of the Alien Property Custodian's office, which is the government department through which the first official movement in that direction would be taken. WThat the future may have in store in this respect, however, is not so certain. By the same official authority it was stated that Alien Property Custodian A. Mitchell Palmer would neither confirm nor deny any rumors or reports as to what may eventuate later in this connection. As to the present status of the property concerned, the docks were taken over by the government three or four months ago, and the offices of the companies are now in the hands of the War Department.

This action was taken under the general authority conveyed by law regarding the holding of alien property during the period of the war. Due to Two Causes Speculation now rife as to the ultimate fate of the docks was said tonitrht at the Alien Property Custodian's office to be due in all probability to two circumstances, one connected with a recent executive order and the other to certain efforts of the government to obtain two vessels belonging to the Hamburg-American Eine which are now safe from seizure in South American waters. In the announcement today by Mr. Palmer concerning the executive order made by the President yesterday, he said at one, point in regard to alien property: The Custodian is given the specific power to nominate managers of corporations and to sell commodities or other tangible property which may be perishable or which in the preservation thereof may involve expense. He may also dispose of any businesses whenever such saVes shall be deemed necessary to protect the business or prevent waste.

Eater in the statement, however, it is set' forth that "the rules and regulations, do not. of course, give any powers to the Alien Property Custodian which were not already vested in him by law and by executive order under the authority of the Trading With the Enemy Act." Congress Must Act It was pointed out tonight that the apparently unlimited power contemplated the clause first emoted must be construed in the light of the second. Even more specificallv it was stated that the sale of the New York docks in question could not be made without the special authority of an act of Congress. Retaliatory measures of this character, if taken, would have to be predicated on such Congressional action, and it was with refer ence to this requirement that Mr. Pal mer's office has formulated no plans or given consideration to any possible future recommendations.

With respect "to the two ships now in Southern waters, it was admitted tonight that overtures for their purchase only recently were closed, after they had come to nothing. All that would be sa-'d in addition was that the ships would not be bought by the government. TWO NEW SOUSA MARCHES Latest Patriotic Compositions on Victor List for March S. Artillery March" and "Liberty Loan March," two of the latest patriotic compositions of the peerless Sousa, are among the present month's offerings of new Victor records. These marches have all the old-time Sousa energy, humor and "pep." with even a trifle more spirit, if possible.

Another wartime offering is Reinald Werenrath's rendition of "Lorraine (My Beautiful Alsace-Lorraine)" the vision of a French grenadier as he muses by the campfire. "Chimes of Normandy," sung by Lambert Murphy, is also appro priate at the present time. that great new luminary the opera firmament, contributes a new record, a selection from the "Marriage of Figaro," an Italian love melody, filled with intense feeling. Other records this month include dance music by the Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra, musical comedy successes; Meyer-Hel-mund's "Thou Art Near Me, Margarita," voiced by He Gogorza, and Elgaris "La Caprieieuse," interpreted by the inimitable genius of the violin, Jascha Heifetz. WHY Spring Coats 1 Women's Newest Women's Suits That "Have WASHINGTON, D.

Feb. 28. Orders were issued today for the commandeering for war purposes of all crude and unworked platinum in the hands of importers, jobbers and wholesalers. Increasing need for platinum in the manufacture of munitions, according to officials rendered this step imperative if the war programme was not to receive a serious Commandeering will be carried out through the War Department. The world supply of the metal is comparatively small and production has shown a steady decline since the war began.

Internal troubles in Russia virtually have eliminated the world's chief source of supply. Jewelers Must Give Up In requisitioning only the crude and unworked platinum, government officials said they obtained for national purposes the greatest part of the metal now in this country, for the amount distributed to jewelers and dentists is comparatively small. The War Committee of the jewelry trade has been asked to ascertain how much is now in the hands of manufacturing jewe'ers and if necessary they will be asked to surrender it. There is no intention of commandeering manufactured iiiium. A census of the available platinum is being made and until it is finished officials will not 'know how much of the metal is on hand.

The largest importation in recent years was ounces collected in Russia by an American lieutenant attached to the Embassy at Pet-rograd and brought to this country for government purposes. A tentative price of an ounce was fixed for that consignment. The United States alone uses in normal times about ounces of platinum and produces only about 8 0 ounces annually, according to the United States Geological Survey.

C. Feb. 28. A special session of the Railroad Wage Commission was held today to hear Miss Pauline Goldmark, sister-in-law of Associate Justice Brandeis, tell of the employment of women on railroads. Shs gave figures to show that women are being hired in increasing numbers for heavy w.ork.

her statement contradicting in tome instances the testimony of railroad executives. Miss Goldmark appeared as representative of the Consumers' of New York and other organizations. Women first were employed in any number by the railroads about a year ago, Miss Gcldmark said, at the instance of the Railroad War Board. They were put in clerical positions experimentally, but their use has been extended until now they are in the freight yards, section gangs, shops and roundhouses. Many occupations involve heavy physical strain and other hazards.

Miss Goldmark doubted the advisability of employing women on sec Lion gangs for work out of doors in all conditions of weather and without proper attention to their physical welfare. One railroad employes 400 on one division and another has a total of 1517 women workers," she said. Miss Goldmark declared white women were lifting weights of as much as fifty pounds in work as drill press operators. She gave a long list of occupations filled by women'. Miss Goldmark told of investigating conditions at a factory in Zanesville, Ohio, where many women are employed.

"The majority, of women at thi3 plant," she said, "are engaged at hard labor such as loading scrap iron, sorting scrap iron, wheeling iron castings in wheelbarrow, etc. The women loading scrap and sorting same work out in the yards, no protection from intense rajs of sun or weather. These women wear overalls and large brim hats. They hand the iron up from the ground to others in the cars who pile it. The hours are nine hours a day, fifty-four hours a week, with one-half hour for lunch; wages 20 cents an hour and $1.50 deducted each month for relief purposes.

Men are given twenty-one cents an hour for labor of the same class." MORE INTIMATE CHRIST NEEDED, BISHOP AVERS Tells Evangelical Conference Want Is Emphasized by Letters From Soldiers Special to The Inquirer. NORRIbTOWN, Feb. 2S. Bishop Hienmiller, of Cleveland, Ohio, in his opening address today at the seventy-ninth annual session of the East Pennsylvania Conference the Evangelical Association, in Bethany Church, said that the nations of the world may become the nation of our God. He declared that the need of a more intimate Christ, of a glorified Christ, as well as a bori and crucified and resurrected Christ is emphasized by the letters from the boys in the trenches.

They express the need of something different from what the church has been teaching in the past. He believed that God would direct the present war to His glory and the glory of His cause. The committee on memorials presented its report, fitting eulogies being offered on the lives of Rev. C. K.

Fehr, late pastor of Allentown; Mrs. bailie Ann Kreisel, of Eebanon, and Mrs. Eliza Lintz, of Allentown, wlio died during the past year. The two women were wives of Evangelical ministers. The more'than 100 ministers and laymen present represent the Allentown and Reading districts.

Rev. W. E. Boll-man, formerly pastor of Bethany Church, now or is presiding eiaer or the Allentown district. Rev.

T. Wentz is presiding elder of the Reading district. The latter district includes all the charges in the Schuylkill alley and along the North Penn. A service flag with two "M's," representing 2000 Evangelical boys in. the.

serv ice, was presented by E. IE lexter, ot Hatfield. Bishop Breyfegel took exception to the indicated number, declaring that there was nearer 4000 than 2000. Another war phase was the decision to admit as ministers on probation R. W.

schleerb, of Wisconsin, aaid. Edward. Butzer, of New York, now at Camp Grant, Rockford, 111., that they may become chaplains in the army. Norman Taylor, of Bethlehem High School faculty, and Sidney Bokstone, of Schuylkill Seminary, Reading, applied for admission to tjje ministry. A motion to make the time of conference two months later, because of coal shortage at this time, was defeated.

A resolution was passed indorsing legislation on anti-polygamy in the United States. SELL GERMAN MONUMENT Cemetery Ornaments to Be Made From "Victories" Statue DAVENPORT, Feb. 2S.

D. Feb. 28. Special and speedy legislation to lay bare the confidential files of the great meat packers and disclose what government investigators believe 'will show plans to take complete control of the meat industry was asked of Congress today by the Federal Trade Commission. On recommendation of Francis J.

Heney, special counsel conducting the commission's investigation, who has been restrained by court orders from taking further papers and also from using thoae already seized by his agents, the commission laid the facts before Congress and asked for action. Charge Commission of Felonies Charging that Henry Yeeder, counsel for the packers, still the custodian cf many papers which have been used as instrumentalities in the commission of felonies," Mr. Heney asked for a supplement to the espionage law to facilitate the government's inquiry into the industry. After Federal Judge Landis, of Chi cago, had issued a search warrant au- thorizing the seizure of important documents in the possession of Mr. Veeder, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals restrained a marshal from removing or examining any of the papers in Veeder's vault and further from examining or in any way using papers already seized by the government.

Specifically Mr. Heney asked that Congress amend or supplement the Tlspionage act so that the of a judge who issues a search warrant shall be conclusive ujon the question of the existence of probable cause, and that a summary proceeding already provided by the statute for the determination of the question of whether the property seized under the writ was used for the commission of a felony shall likewise be conclusive for the purpose only of enabling the court to retain such property in the custody of the law until the purpose for its surrender shall have been served." Question of Vital Importance The action of the Appellate Court in issuing the stay, said Mr. Heney, prevented the government from even examining papers already in its possession and which a Fedei-al district court had found had been used "as the means of committing felonies by Swift Co. and other In its letter to Vice President Mar-shall, as president of the Senate, the Federal Trade Commission described this question to be "of such vital importance to its work and iossibly the work of other departments of the government as to require its calling the matter to the attention of Congress." Counsel Heney in his letter declared that Mr. Yeeder at the beef trust trial in 191.1, after the statute of limitations had expired, had testified that for many years his office was the clearing house for the rive big packers in a criminal conspiracy which they maintained for the fixing of prices and the control of the meat industry.

"The evidence which we have gathered in the present investigation." continued Mr. Heney, tends to prove that this conspiracy with some slight modification to its scope and purpose ha continued in existence ever since and is still active and that Yeeder is still the custodian of many papers which have been used in the pursuance thereof as instrumentalities in the commission of felonies." The Swift. Armour, Morris, Wilson and Cudahy Packing companies are specifically mentioned in the alleged "commission of felonies." Reynolds and Eversman Reply republican National Committee, and James H. Reynolds, secretary of the John C. Eversman, formerly secretary of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, both issued statements today bearing on the references to them brought out at yesterday's Federal Trade Commission hearing into the meat packing business at Chicago.

At the hearing Counsel Heney, for the commission, introduced letters from the packers' files to show Eversman as representing "Wilson quoted Eversman as having advised the packers that he had arranged for a representative of a press association to get information for them on the floor of the House and, referred to the fact that Secretary Reynolds was connected with the woolen manufacturers under a "similar arrangement." Everyman's statement declared he never had been retained by Wilson but had advised the packers to have a representative and did suggest that a newspaperman be secured to furnish information from Congress, but later dropped the plan, as he then considered it improper. The suggestion, Eversman said, never was carried out. Mr. Reynolds declared in his statement that he was connected with the woolen manufacturers not because of his connection with the Republican National Committee, "but in spite of it." that all the operations of the association have been conducted since a Democratic administration came into office and that his work was to see that the domestic manufacturer received proper representation before the government departments in a perfectly open and legitimate way. Mr.

Reynolds said he probably had been selected because as an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury he had become familiar with customs procedure. TOWANDA THREATENED WITH WATER FAMINE Main Broken by" Shifting Ice. Serious Epidemic oT Disease Feared Special to The Inquirer. TOWANDA. Feb.
