Republican Body Makes Stand
That Penrose Petitions
Offered No Proof
The registration committee has hand
led down a ruling refusing to strike off
en masse some 0000 names presented by
the committee of seventy as ineligible
to remnm on the assessment list.
It has also ruled that personal ap
plications nrc necessary for restora
tion, once a man is stricken off, and
that the blanket petition presented by
the Uepublican city committee does not
constitute "personal application."
Further, the ruling is that the thou
sands who maintain they were unable to
get a, hearing on Tuesday, when the
Vare forces swarmed down on the com
mission, may get such hearing July 22.

SUNDRY CIVIL BILL
AGAIIT BEFORE SENATE
Fall Offers Amendment Curtail
s ing Restrictions on Trade
With Germany
. Washington. July IS. (By A. P.)
-Unanimous consent was given in the
Senate today for immediate considera
tion of the sundry civil appropriation
till as passed yesterday by the House
with an increase from 50,000,000 to
$14,000,000 in the appropriation for vo
cational education of soldiers and sail
ors, designed to meet President Wil
son's objections in his veto of the ori
ginal measure.
Senator Smoot, Republican, of X'tah,
criticizing the salary provisions of tire
amendment inserted after President
Wilson's veto, said much of the funds
would be spent for teachers' salaries.
To curtail restrictions on trade with
Germany Senator Fall, Republican, of
New Mexico, introduced an amendment
declaring that peace "being declared,",
so part of the funds in the bill should
be used to enforce the trading-with-the-encmy
act:.
There was disagreement over the ex
act meaning of thd amendment which
would insert a provision "that the
status of peace between the former im
perial German Government and the
United States of America being de
clared to exist," no part of the money
should be used to enforce the trading
act.

The Automobile Club of Philadelphia,
representing about 1300 Pennsylvania

citizens, have clashed over'the "speed
trap" established in the village last
Sunday.
Declaring an intention of bringing
Constable Edward Gam. of St. Georges,
to trial for malfeasance in office, the
Automobile Club today inserted the fol

that Constable Gam exceeded his au-
thority in making wholesale arrests and I
in wounding (ieorge Ilenle. 2231 North '

the back, where one of the five shots
fired b.v the constable took effect. Sliss
Clara Miller, of Mount Vernon street
near Eleventh who was with Ilenle,
escaped injury.
Constable Gam, when told of the
threatened action, said that he had
nothing to fear ns a result of his ac
tivities Sunday.
"I was ordered by the town council
to stop the speeding of automobiles over
the stretch of sixteen-foot cement road
in the town," he said. "The council de
cided to take action and enforce ob
servance of the speed limit, which is
twelve miles nn hour, on account of
the liberties motorists hnve been taking
with our law. Not long ago nn old
man was knocked down by a speeding
automobile and seriously injured1 and
the automobile did not stop. Little
children playing in the street are iq
danger from these speeding automobiles
every Sunday, The council decided to
stop it and ordered me last week to
enforce the law."

PRESIDENT CONTINUES
TALKS WITH SENATORS
Foreign Relations Committee
Makes Slow Progress in
Reading Treaty Text '
tly the Associated Press
Washington. July lv President
Wilson continued his conferences with
Republican penators toda.v, diseus'sing
thp peace treaty and the lengne-of-na-tions
covenant at length with Senators
Kenyon. of Iowa, and Kellogg, of Slin
nesotn. Later he had engagements with '
Senators Capper, of Kansas, and Mc
Xar.v , of Oregon.
Neither Senator Kenyon nor Senator
Kellogg would discuss their conversa
tions with the President, but ns he went
to the White House Senator Kenyon
said he intended to ask about the state
ment of Senator Swanson. Democrat,
Virginin. in the Senate recently that
the Cnited States could withdraw from
the league whenever it desired.
Doubts Swansnn's Statement
"If it is true as Senator Svvansoa
declared." said Senator Kenyon, "that
the I'nited States can get out of the
league whenever it wants to, it is a
very important point, nnd will clarify
the situation. I have my doubts
whether Senntor Swanson was accurate.
I have here a copy of the speech, and
I intend to ask the President whether
the senator from Virginia was correct."
While the President was conferring
with the senators, the foreign relations
committee continued jts sessions for the
reading of the treaty text. Progress was
slow. The reading may be completed by
the end of the week. '
The conversations followed the linen
of those yesterday when Mr. Wilson
conferred separately with Senators Colt,
Rhode Island ; Nelson, Minnesota, and
McCumber, North Dakota, all Rcpub
liinns, and discussed the Shahttlnf
provision.
Takes Senators Into Confidence

toda.v were the first of a long series
of similar meetings Mr. Wilson is ar
ranging with members of the opposi,-
I tion part) in the Senate and whom he
i proposes to take into his confidences
' concerning the conduct of the peace
negotiations at Versailles.
i So far he has called in only those
; senators who have expressed themselves
in fnvor of the treaty or who have
not made a public declaration either
i for or against, but Inter he is expected
to confer with virtually every Repub-
lican senator, including those who have
most bitterly opposed ratification.
Quiet I)ay in Spnate
No prepared speeches were expected
to be delivered in tho Senate today,
alK it Kcncrnlly was believed that after
'a brief session the body would adjourn
un-til Monday.
No word had come from the President "
as to his decision with regard to the
ecent request of the Senate for what is
Known as the "American draft" of the
league of nations covenant. Secretary
Tumulty said he had not discussed the
I n atter with Mr. Wilson, and senators
wno saw tne rrcsicient yesterday de
clared the subject had not been men
