He declared that the officials directing the plans apparently had forgotten that the President of the United States and the Federal Congress had to pass on the matter; that no mention of the United States was made in the papers of organization, and that he feared Philadelphia was about to commit another crime against itself. Mr. Wanamaker's action was as a bombshell cast into the meeting of nearly 100 of the leading men and women of the city who had assembled in City Hall at the invitation of Mayor Moore to begin the real work of founding the exposition.

Interruptions, contradictions and explanations finally stopped Mr. Wana-lnaker's address, and the meeting was adjourned in favor of a closed session of the Board of Directors. Close friends of Mr. Wanamaker, including ex-Covernor Edwin S. Stuart and John Cadwalader, endeavored to persuade him to attend the closed meeting, but he refused.

Finally. Mrs. J. Willis Martin persuaded him to enter the conference, and he was notified that the directors could not consider for a moment accepting his resignation: that they were thoroughly in accord with his ideas, and that he had been unanimously elected as honorary chairman of the board. After this combined insistence.

Mr. Wanamaker indicated he would not press his separation from the affair and was made chairman of a committee which will go to Washington at an early date to confer with President Harding and influential leaders in the House and Senate on the matter of the exposition. Mayor Moore was still left in control of the association, being elected as president of the Board of Directors, with Alba B. Johnson as first vice-president, John H. Mason treasurer, and Edward Robins secretary.

Indications were given following the meeting, particularly by Mr. Wanamaker himself, that there is dissatisfaction in some quarters over an alleged lack of vision and over the manner of attacking the problem of making the affair the greatest of its kind in the Nation's history. "I have to help," said Mr. Wanamaker, when asked what his next action would be. "What is your plan?" he was asked.

'It is too late now. the thing is started from a local angle," he said. "It should have been started from Washington, with the help of all the States. Philadelphia is only to be the location Continued on 5th Page, 1st Column TURKS AGAIN MASSACRE ARMENIANS AND GREEKS ON BLACK SEA COAST U. S.

MAN CALLED BOOTLEGGER SUES ANTI-SALOONISTS Seeks $50,000 Damages For Social Ostracism in New Jersey Town From The Inquirer Bureau. NEW YORK, June 3. James A. O'Connell, a real estate dealer in New Brunswick, N. told a jury in the Supreme Court there today that he and his wife had been socially ostracised and forced to resign from social and charitable organizations because the anti-Saloon League of New Jersey referred to him in its raper, "The American Issue," as a bootlegger.

Mr. O'Connell is suing the league for exemplary damages. The league admits the publication of the statement and does not offer substantiation for it, but claims the league should be held liable for actual damages only, asserting that the article in question was without malice. Justification is based on the ground that the statement was "a matter of common rumor." MASS. COURT UPHOLDS 2.75 PERCENT.

June 3. President Harding, during his week-end trip to the home of United States Senator Philander Chase Knox, at Valley Forge, may make an address from the opej pulpit of the famous Valley Forge Memorial Chapel at the conclusion of the Sunday morning services. This detail of the Nation's Chief Executive's week-end automobile trip became known today. President Harding and Mrs. Harding will not be in Philadelphia during their brief sojourn as the guests of Senator and Mrs.

Knox. The trip will be entirely a restful one, unmarked by elaborate social activity and intended as a surcease to the President and Mrs. Harding from the fatisue that has resulted from the unusual activities of the past few weeks, which have kept both almost constantly on the move. The President and Mrs. Harding will be accompanied by the President's physician.

Brigadier General Charles II. Sawyer, of the Medical Reserve Corps of the United States Army, and his secretary, Georgp P. Christian, as well as Senator and Mrs. Knox and Warren S. Martin, who is secretary to the junior Pennsylvania Senator, on the trip.

They will bp the only house guests at the Knox home during the week-end. The automobile party will -leave the White House about o'clock tomorrow morning, and will proceed to Valley Forge over a splendid automobile touring route that will take them through Rising Sun. Maryland. The first Pennsylvania town to the passed through will be Avondale. in Chester county, and from thence through historic Ken-nett Square, the birthplace of Bayard Taylor, the famous writer and diplomat: to West Chester, the county seat of Chester county, and from that point to Valley Forge, passing through Paoli.

Plan Picnic Luncheon Automobile tourists along this route at some point will be afforded the unusual spectacle of the President and the First ady of the land as the principals in a picnic luncheon. For it is the intention to take along a genuine, old-fashioned, open-air, outing luncheon and at some cool and shady spot, amid strictly rural surroundings, to stop and partake of its delicacies. It is expected that the party will arrive at the Knox country home at Valley Forge early in the afternoon, no definite time having been fixed. Depending entirely upon circumstances, one of four nearby golf courses will be afforded the opportunity of entertaining the President tomorrow afternoon. It is planned for Mr.

Harding. Senator Knox. George B. Christian and Warren S. Martin to make up a foursome in the ancient game and to play at least two rounds.

Just which club will be selected lias not yet been decided upon. The four nearby clubs include St. David's. Tre-dyffryn, Gulf Mills and Phoenixville. Tomorrow night at dinner the only additions to the Knox house guests will be Senator and Mrs.

Knox's daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. James R. Tindle, of Valley Forge. The evening will be spent in the Knox mansion, and the entertainment will be provided in the form of one of the newest motion picture productions, which Mr.

Martin has obtained especially in honor of President and Mrs. Harding. On Sunday, Senator and Mrs. Knox will take their guests for a trip over the historic Valley Forge Park, now a National Memorial to the soldiers of the American Revolution who suffered throughout a long winter in camp there, under the command of General George Washington, afterwards to be the Nation's first President. May Speak at Memorial Chapel It is very likely that they will "attend the morning service at the famous Valley Forge Memorial Chapel, wuich is coming to be one of the show places of the Eat, because of its rich historic interest.

And providing the weather permits President Harding will make a brief address from the open pulpit of the Memorial Chapel. The only time of the visit that is anyways in doubt is late Sunday afternoon. Many prominent residents of the PickeriDg Valley are desirous of entertaining President and Mrs. Harding at tea, and it is more than likely that this distinction will fall upon some one, providing the President and Mrs. Harding do not feel too fatigued after the automobile trip of the morning and the function at the Valley Forge Memorial Chapel.

Sunday night will be spent at tha Knox ho ire in a restful manner and with a total lack of formal entertainment. It is the intention of the President and Mrs. Harding and the other' guests to return to the Capital early Monday morning, probably by the same route that was followed on the going trip. The President has arranged for a number of conferences at the White House on Monday afternoon in anticipation of his early return. LOST AND FOUND LOST Certificate of membership.

Other. Lest and Fooni on Pisl Ex-Marine Breaks Down After Long Grilling and Tells of Fatal Quarrel With Sweetheart Grilled for hours in the offices of Captain Souder at the Detective Bu reau last night. Lester Newhall. accused of killing Josephine Howard, broke down and confessed that he had slain the pretty seventeen-year-old telephone operator, as she was walking home from a dance early on Saturday morning last, with James Sullivan, a stu dent at the University of Pennsylvania as her escort. "I saw Sullivan try to kiss her," ex claimed the prisoner, as the climax to his dramatic narrative, "when something snapped in my head, and I shot her.

Then I ran away." Under the questioning of Detectives William Belshaw and James Mulgrew. of the murder squad, the youthful slay er revealed the circumstances of the crime, after he had fought for hours against breaking down. During that time he had sat with a fixed, vacuous stare, a foolish grin on his face, and with a doleful wag of the head insisted that he knew nothing of the events that happe ned between 11 o'clock on Friday night and 1 o'clock the following afternoon, when New-hall said he found himself at Twenty-sixth street and Girard avenue about to enter a moving picture theatre. But as the hours went on and midnight approached. Newhall began to weaken, and shortly before the latter hour he straightened in his seat, and looking intently at Belshaw and Mulgrew, said quietly: "Yes.

I killed Josie. I'll tell you all about it." Evaded Police Easily Then followed a remarkable recital of a murderer-who walked unscathed and untroubled through the streets of the city, was shared in the shadow of City Hall and purchased a ticket at Broad Street Station without once receiving a suspicious glance. "Friday night about 0 o'clock." droned Newhall. once started on his confession. "Josie and myself had a quarrel.

We had many of them and we always patched them up. 'This time it was about a trip to New York. We had arranged to go. remain at her aunt's over night and come to this city the next day. Sunday is my regular day off, so I stood out for us to go then.

CHICAGO, June 3. The government has launched an inquiry into the afFairs of Peggy Hopkins Joyce, as a sequel to the fight she is making here against the divorce suit brought by her husband, James Stanley Joyce, multimillionaire Chicago lumberman. The sidelight on the adventures and misadventures of the fair bride, who cost Joyce more than a million dollars in six months, developed today witL the announcement by Special Treasury Agent Williams of the result of an inquiry which two special investigators have been making. The facts have been known for several days, but have been withheld from publication at the request of Mr. Williams.

The huge amount of jewelry which Mr. Joyce purchased for Peggy constitutes the basis for the government's sudden interest in the case The agents, Mr. Williams says, have checked up with Mr. Joyce, and have found that nearly a million dollars' worth of the fortune in gems was purchased in France and England. When Peggy came to America October 28, the customs' records show that she declared only a smali amount of property.

Now the government wants to know what she has done with the rest. The class of property involved carries a sixty per cent. duty. The bills cited by Mr. Joyce in his recent answer to Peggy's alimony demands show that the lumberman purchased more than a half million dollars' worth of jewel- i SAM THINKS HIM "Very Bad;" Says Burke, Suspended, Left-Mess With a specific commission to clean up not only the Twelfth district, at Eighth and Jefferson streets, but the entire northeast.

Lieutenant Joseph Van Horn, known as the roller" of the Police Bureau, was sent to the Third Division yesterday as acting captain. At the "same time, and on Van Horn's selection. Lieutenant John J. Kerns was transferred from the police boat Stokley to the Twelfth district. Director Cortelyou, who made these assignments following the revelations regarding the peculiar relations existing between the police and bootleggers, frankly stated that conditions in the Twelfth district, which embraces the Twentieth ward, were "in a very, very bad state." Already Thomas F.

Burke, the district commander and acting lieutenant, and four policemen of th station have been suspended and will Te sent to the Civil Service Board for trial on Monday. There was no question that Cortelyou and Mayor Moore were deeply hagrined at the "scandal that came through the hearings in Magistrate Kenshaw's court given seven men accused of figuring in a bootlegging job. To add to their disgust and disappointment, Burke, the suspended commander, had been sent into the Twentieth ward to clean up conditions which were known to exist there, and his tenure, according to the higher officials, only left a "mess." which Van Horn and Kerns have been commissioned to clean up. Determined to Clean District Director Cortelyou took matters into his own hands as soon as he had conferred with the Mayor yesterday. Both determined that the Twelfth district would be purged, and the Director said: "I'm going to have decent conditions in the Twelfth district, if we have to fire every man in it." Prior to giving his official attention to Twelfth district matters, however.

he arranged for George S. Tempest assistant superintendent of police, now ill. to become acting superintendent while William B. Mills, the incumbent. is attending a convention St, Louis Captain James Hearn -was rained as acting assistant superintendent in tne interim.

Then he brought Captain Andrew Jolly back from the Third division to the traffic squad, as Captain Jolly is admitted to be the best authority on the conduct of traffic in the city. His withdrawal from the Third division. Cortelyou declared, was to be taken as no reflection on the captain. "We are absolutely satisfied with Captain Jolly," said the Director, we want his capable hands at the head of the traffic squad." These matters out of the way, the Director sent for Van Horn, who has been detailed for some time on duty at City HalL Wnen the lieutenant arrived, the Director said: "Lieutenant, a very, very bad state of affairs has arisen in the Twelfth District. I want you to take command of the Third Division and I want you to clean up that section.

You can take whoever you want with you as lieutenant to command the Twelfth District." "All right, said Van Horn. "I'll take John Kerns." So the change was made and last night the new officials took charge of affairs. Van Horn will make his headquarters Continued on 8th Page, 6th Column SAILOR MAKES RECORD IN PSYCHOLOGY TEST Vocational Training Student Surpasses Yale Professor's High Score SEATTLE, June 3. John Nolan, 43, a student in the engineering department of the Federal board of vocational training at the University of Washington, former sailor and lumberjack, has established a new record in the army's "Alpha" intelligence test, with a perfect score of 212 points in 13 minutes, it was- announced at the university today. The best previous score in the psychology test was 207 points in 17 minutes, made by a Yale professor, it was stated.

Figs may not grow on thistles, but a rhubarb plant can bear whisky and gin This phenonomen was reported by High SherifiE Edmund W. Rant today on his return from a trip to the St. John River section of Aroostook county, on the Canadian border.

It is charged that the woman's husband turned the hose on the workers. The court later granted an injunction baiting the job until the case can be argued, From The Inquirer Bureau. WASHINGTON. TX June 3.

Charges of "reckless extravagance" coupled with intimations that was common were hurled at the U. S. Shipping Board on the floor of the Senate today by Senator Kenyon, Towa. He told of private telegram? sent by employees at the government's expense, presented a list of high salaries paid to many officials, asserted that the expense to the government of the merchant marine at the present time was almost $1,000,000 a day and insisted that if officials themselves did not call a halt the people would. "If we are going.to have an American merchant marine." he said, "let us cut out this awful cost and the outrageously high salaries.

I hope we shall get a shipping board that will have the courage to reduce expenses." He insisted that salaries of the board were abnormally high and that "they made the salaries of Senators and Representatives look like thirty cents." He read into the record some of the salaries paid and emphasized the following yearly salaries: General counsel, $10,000: special assistant to the general counsel. $7500; acting administrative counsel. $6000; nautical adviser, $5000; director of the division of insurance. $7200; director of the division of industrial relations. $10,000, and three assistants at $S500 each; treasurer, and several assistant treasurers at $50OO.

"And here is one, the general comptroller," he paused to point out, "who gets $15,000 a year, twice the salary paid for service in Congress." He mentioned many other high salaried officials and said that this was an indication of why it is that the government cannot reduce expenses. Other Senators, including Poindex-ter. Washington; Tomerene, Ohio, and Borah, joined in the discussion to as-sert the need for correcting conditions. When Poindexter said that one agent of the Shipping Board at Valencia, Spain, was a British consul, Senator Kenyon said: "The whole thing is reeking with graft and ought to be investigated." He read several personal telegrams sent by Shipping Board employees samples that he said could be duplicated if one cared to go into it further. the door open, will be home about midnight tonight," read one tel egram.

Another sent by an official to a wo man in Norfolk read: "Have missed a train, but will be down the following Tuesday." "Send laundry and dress clothes," read another all marked "official," and Senator Kenyon said, and sent at gov ernment expense. Mr. Kenyon objected because he said so many American officials refused to ride on American boats, going, instead on British lines. When it was suggest ed that prohibition on American boats, was responsible for a preference for other lines Senator Kenyon replied: "As to at least one of these Ameri can ships it was not dry, but as wet as the ocean as soon as it crossed tne three-mile limit." Senator Kenyon recently sailed on the Panhandle State, an American ves sel. "No private businesss could be run as this Shipping Board has been conduct ed." Mr.

Kenyon added. "If the ex travasance cannot be cut out the Amer ican people will demand abandonment of the American merchant marine. Despite the attacks on the Board, the Senate however, passed a deficeincy bill carrying a total of 51ob.HU.HJU includ ing for the bhippmg Board This amount exceeds the House appro priation by $50,000,000. Republican members explained their advocacy of the appropriation by saying a new Shipping Board would soon be named and that it would be unfair to crip.pl its operations because of what prev ious personnel had or had not done.

VOLSTEAD CONSIGNS PROHIBITION EOES TO LOWER REGIONS Says All Favoring 18th Amendment Repeal Can Go to Dry Leaders Alarmed at Rapid Growth of Association Opposed to Them Special to The Inquirer. WASHINGTON, June The personal liberty campaign against prohibition is making substantial headway. Although Congress is still under domination of the Anti-Saloon League, the International Reform Bureau and other organizations, there are real signs of saneness at home. By constantly drumming at the voters, the Association Opposed to Prohibition has started a backward movement to counteract the activities of Wayne B. Wheeler, Dr.

Wilbur Fink, and kindred reformers. Public officials in Washington are not so ready to fall for the dry propaganda as they were. Representative Volstead, leader of the prohibition forces, in the House today said that he did not fear any backfire movement made on him by "liquor organizations." He wants it made clear that he is not in the last worried over the efforts of the League for Personal Liberty. "I have heard very little of the movement against the Volstead act." The only thing 'that I know of is a bunch of postal "cards, evidently the result of somebody touring constituents," he said, adding: don't they work like decent people, and then try to repeal the prohibition movement? The Constitution forbids those things against which the Volstead act was passed. Wets are trying to make Congressmen repudiate their oaths to carry into effect prohibition in the Constitution.

If they want to repeal the Pighteenth amendment let them go to Work on "Dry's" Own Lines The Association against Prohibition is the one organization that prohibitionists dread, for in a quite way they are being undermined in their strongholds. W. H. Stayton, vice president of this association, has associated with him a long list of prominent citizens. They have adopted the plan of the anti-Saloon League to build back fires under Congressmen.

Official Says Changes Will Be Made in Working Conditions Labor Board Decision Will Not Prove Cure-all; May Ask Further Reductions BY RICHARD J. BEAMISH "Railroad rates are being reduced every day in various sections of the country by orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission applied to local conditions. It is unlikely that there will be any general horizontal reduction or any hearing for such a reduction soon. "The Pennsylvania Railroad is putting back at work enough men to repair the large number of cars that are out of order. The steady improvement in business conditions is reflected in the growing reserve of repaired cars and the marked decrease in that are out of commission.

"Under the ruling of the Federal Labor Board we of the Pennsylvania Railroad will recognize as representing any group of our workers those who shall be returned as elected in the elections now proceeding. If, acting under instructions from any union, workers refrain from voting, that is their concern. We will proceed Jo negotiate changes in working agreements with these representatives in accordance with the decision of the Labor Board abrogating the national agreements which hog-tied the railroads during and after the war."
