HARDING TO GET MEASURE ENDING WAR LATE TODAY Knox Forecasts Treaty With Germany and Austria in Short Time WaHhlnttton, July 1. President Harding to day Is expected to receive the compromise Congressional resolution ending the state of war with Germany and Austria. By a vote of 263 to 59 the House Mate yesterday adopted the conference draft of the resolution and it was taken up in the Senate a few hours later in an effort to complete its enactment, but went over after an hour's debate, urtil to day with' favorable action then said to bo assured. both Senate and House centered mainly on the provisions as to enemy alien property and the con troversy over ending: the state of war by declaring petce, or by repealing the war' resolutions. Representative Flood, of Virginia, senior Democrat of the Foreign Affairs Committee, aid the country had been saved from humiliation' by decision to declare a state of peace.

Senator Knox, Kepub lican, Pennsylvania, author of the original peace measure, said that either method would accomplish the desired result. That a treaty of peace is to follow the peace resolution was suggested by Senator Knox and others during Senate deFcusslon. Referring to the resolution's tr holding nemy alien property, Senator Knux said it out an expression by Congress that we! do not intend to have claims of the United States (against enemy countries) ignored, waived or not respected." "This is only a suggestion," Senator Knox continued, "to the President, when he comes to settle the terms of peace with Germany, that these things should be taken care of. The President may ignore the suggestions. The status of affairs then may be such when we come to negotiate that treaty we may be more lenient with Germany; or we might require more drastic terms." Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, replied that it was "perfectly obvious that such a treaty to bo enteed into must regard the instruction from Congress." 36,084,206 IX FRANCE Paris, July 1.

SELIG COMES BACK AT LIGHT COMPANY Continued from First Page. charged a different rate or a higher price," but Mr. Selig again points out that the company is careful not to say that the new tariffs will not add to the cost of service to the user of current.

In no place does the company say that the new rates will not cost the electrical consumers of Harrisburg more than they are at present paying. Mr. Selig called attention again to the Power Factor Chart published by the Telegraph, some time ago (which is republished elsewhere in this issue) and invited the company to comment upon it, as being plain proof of increases of cost to consumers. Further discussing' the company's letter Mr. Selig said: "I have examined the circular letter of the Harrisburg Light and Power Company, addressed to consumers under date of June 25, 1921.

This letter is very cleverly drawn, pos sibly by the same skilled hand that wrote the new tariff. "It is significant to note that neither the company's advertisement nor this circular letter makes the direct statement that there will be no increase in the amount of the bills or cost of the service to the consumer. "In the analysis which I made for the Telegraph, I pointed out the numerous 'jokers' which I believe will have most serious effects on the consumers' bills. If this company is sincere, I wonder why it does not cover my analysis, step by step, in nontechnical layman's language, so that the public may fully understand its side of the matter. The Telegraph has offered its space to the company for any statement It may wish to make.

Wouldn't this be better and cost less than to send out misleading letters at great cost for each issue? "I wrote the company's offer to demonstrate the statements contained in their letter. I would cer tainly urge all to take advantage of the kind offer. However, I would suggest that the consumer ask the company officials to make his statement in detail and in writing, showing what the consumers' 1920 serv ice would cost under the new tariff. As an additional assurance to the consumer, it would be well to have the company officials close his statement with a paragraph stating that he has sufficient knowledge of the consumer's power and light installations and of the tariff to know that his statement is correct. "It would perhaps be of interest to department store, hotel and office building owners to know what it would cost them to throw out their perfectly satisfactory direct current elevators and install new alternating current machines.

Under the company's plan and estimate of ten years, as the useful life of equipment; it wouldseem that each such consumer would face an expense of several thousand dollars, at least. "One large consumer, who nearly two weeks ago made a written re quest of the company for a statement as to what effect the new tariff would have on bills, has so far received no I wonder how many, if any, consumers, will be able to obtain a true, written statement, be fore July 15, the day the new tariff becomes effective." Consumers Complain Against Inadequacy of Light Service To discuss the progress made by the Harrisburg Light and Power Company in fulfilling its promises to give improved service and to examine the new rate schedule filed by the company with the Public Service Com mission, a conference of the special light committee of the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce with Dr. William L. Robb, the. electrical engineering expert, whose services have been given to the city by the Chamber, was held yesterday.

It was decided by the committee to ask the directors of the Chamber to call a special meeting to consider the report of Dr. Robb's investigation and safeguard the interests of Har ri8burgs citizens. A number of complaints filed with the Chamber by local 'consumers regarding the present inadequacy of service were presented to the committee for "Ted," Bulldog Owned by J. K. Jackson, Dies French bulldog, owned by James K.

Jackson, attorney, died this week, being overcome by the heat. The dog was a pet in the neighborhood and also was a popular visitor in the Commonwealth Trust Company building, where Mr. Jackson has offices with his father, and in the courthouse. Frequently he brought his pet along to the office and to the rooms of the recorder and prothonotary, clerks and other lawyers soon making friends with "Ted." Before being injured several years ago, the dog was a long distance swimmer, Mr. Jackson said.

Steelton Plant Lowers Rents as Wages Are Given Another Cat Pursuing its course of returning the Bethlehem Steel Company to prewar basis, the Steelton plant of the company yesterday afternoon announced a cut of 15 per. cent in wages, through General Manager Frank A Robbing, Jr.

At the same time there will be a 10 per cent, cut for salaried employes. In making the announcement yesterday, Mr. Bobbins said that the sal aried employes did not receive ad 1 vances commensurate with the men working on the time schedule, and for that reason the reduction will not be so drastic. The present reduction, which takes effect July 16. will be the second this year, and will bring the per hour wage to 27 cents.

January It the reduction, was from 40 to 32 cents, which is the present rate. The company will also reduce the i rent of ail its Steelton houses be i tween and 10 per it was an nounced yesterday. This reduction wipes out any advances in rent made for the company bouses during the last 15 years. Mr. Robbins said yes terday that the Steelton plant will continue to work on a 30 per cent of capacity basis, but that the wage re duction was necessary if the plant is I to increase production.

i The Midvale Steel and Ordnance Company and the Republic Iron and Steel Company are expected to an nounce within the, next few day cuts similar to those made by the i uetmenem steel. Action by the United States Steel Corporation is not expected before July IS. Steel manufacturers are confident however, that with stocks of steel at the lowest point in years and with the needs of the country estimated to be high, a further reduction will bring into the market at least sufficient business to enable continued operation on a much higher rate than at present By Aisocmtrd Treit Readtag, Pa July 1.

CHILD'S LOVE PLEA UNLOCKS DOOR OF CELL Girl of 13 Is Permitted Wed Her Sweetheart of 25 to Philadelphia, July 1.

The frank confession of love of a 13 year old child yesterday unlocked the cell door for Joseph Angelo, 25 years old, i i0 and the prisoner, who an hour earlier be held to morning at ago, lived with her parents in Tren ton, had run away to this city to be with the man she loved and to whom she had been pledged when only a baby. "He was always very good to me," the child smilingly explained, as she stood straight and slim, in a. white collar, looking adoringly at the man whom she was defending. "Whence moved to Philadelphia about a month ago, I was very un happy. Although I could write to him, that was not as good as really seeing him, and so one night I went away quietly and came to his home here." As the girl finished her brief explanation, Dominick Riccardi, the child's father, rose to add his testimony.

"I have no charge to make against Angelo," he said. "We knew they were going to be married some time, for it had been arranged from the time that my daughter was borrft Angelo was waiting for her." "She is very, very young to be married," Judge Barnett doubtfully interpolated, "about the youngest prospective bride I have ever seen." Later when the couple had been taken by Court Officer Tighe to the Marriage License, Bureau, and had found Magistrate Renshaw in Central Station, too busy to marry them, Judge Barnett stopped a trial which he was then conducting to tie the marital knot himself, and wish the smiilng little bride all possible 9 STEEL COMPANY WINS AWARD FOR CAR HANDLING Public Service Directs Rail roads to Give Central Iron and Steel Allowances The Public Service Commission in its decision handed down to day directing Pennsylvania and Reading railroads to give the Central Iron and Steel Company, of this city, allowances for handling of inbound cars within its plant in South Harrisburg, followed, the line of the Inter State Commerce Commission ruling.
