COMING CRUISE
SECRETARY OF NAVY DENBY
AA'ashinglon, March 14.—Secretary
of the Navy Denby will leave AVashing
ton Sunday for Guantanamo, Cuba,
where he will witness target practice
and winter battle manoeuvres of the
Atlantic fleet. Rater he will go to
Haiti and the Dominican republic to in
spect the marines stationed on the
islands, and will return to Washing
ton about April 5.
He will make the trip south by rail
to Key West, Fla., and thence he will
go to the fleet base at Guantanamo
on a .destroyer. He will be accompa
nied by Capt. J. K. Robison of na
val operations, and Col. D. D. Porter
of the Marine Corps. His naval aide,
Commander P. AW Foote, may also ac
company him.
In making announcement tonight of
his contemplated visit, Mr. Denby said
he intended familiarize himself
with the administration and work
day routine of the battle fleet. His
visit to Haiti and the Dominican Re
public has no connection with recent
efforts to obtain the withdrawal of
American marines from the inlands, he
saifl, and will be one of inspection
only. The question of withdrawal of
the marines has been settled by the
recent report of two rear admirals
who visited and inspected conditions
there, Mr. Denby said.
Wage Cut Coming to
Rail Ferry Workers
in New York Harbor
New York. Mar. 14—Marine workers
employed on ferles, tugs, barges and
other floating equipment of railroads
in New York harbor will be a sired
within the next few days to accept
wage reductions ranging from 15 to
23 per cent., it was learned here to
night.
The proposed schedule of wage cuts,
it was learned, was approved today at
a meeting of the General Managers
Association, an organization of gen
eral managers of 11 railroads with
terminals in this city. Each of the
railroads will immediately notify
employes of the proposed reduction,
and call conferences In an effort to
bring about an adjastment.
While no date was decided upon to
make the reduction effective, railroad
officials said that it would probably
take effoct April 15 or May 1. Ap
proximately *6.000 of the 15,000 marine
workers inthe harbor will be affected.
Under the ne^v schedule the in
creases given the marine workers by
the war labor board, effective last
May, will be entirely wiped out. The
captains will be asked to take 5 per
cent., the engineers 16, firemen and
oilers from 16 to 23 per cent. Deck
hands and other workers will bq
given similar reductions.
Railroad officials said that the
eight hour day will continue In effect.
April 11 Fixed
as Date Special
Session of Congress
Washington. March 14—April 11
was selected today as the date for
the special session of the 67th Con
gress, the first to be held under
President Harding’s administration.
The announcement was received with
general satisfaction by Senate lead
ers. most of whom said they pre
ferred that date to April 4. because
of the additional week it gave them
to arrange plans for the coming ses
sion.
Senator Lodge notified the Senate
of the president's decision late today
after he and Senator Underwood of
Alabama, minority leader, had re
turned from the White House. They
had gone to the president with a
message from* the Senate that it
stood ready to adjourn sine die un
less there was need for it to remain
in session to receive executive mes
sages or act upon additional appoint
ments to governmental offices.
The president, however, requested
tlije Senate to meet at 11 o’clock to
morrow morning when, he said, he
expected to submit names of nomi
nees for ’’important offices” vacateo
by -resignations of Democratic ap
pointees. It was said tonight that
sine die adjournment probably
would be taken late tomorrow.
U.S. MOVES TO
■LOCK LEKGOE

Treaty of 1915 Binds
Costa Rica and
Panama
Designating U. S. as Mediator
In All Disputes—'New Note
Believed Acceptable Now on
Way to Both Countries
Washington, March 14—-(By The
Associated Press)—A new basis of
negotiations, believed by officials of
the State department to be accept
able to both Panama and Costa Rica
in settlement of their boundary dis
pute, was outlined in a note dis- j
patched to Panama today.
Replying to Panama’s vigorous (
protest against Secretary Hughes’
announcement that the arbitral
award of Chief Justice White must
be put into effect in its entirety, the
Iartest communication, while adher
ing to the previous declaration re
garding the Pacific end of the
boundary, opens the door to amicable
settlement by agreeing to further
discuss the Atlantic end.
The note is considered by diplo
mats here to have dealt a death blow
to any possibility that the League of
Nations might be called on, to act in
the question by citing provisions of
a treaty drawn in 1915, whereby
Panama and Costa Rica agreed to
submit disputes to the United States
as mediator. This treaty, signed by
the three powers, was negotiated by
William Jennings Bryan, thfen secre
tary of State, as a means of safe
guarding American interests in Pan
ama.
Today's note was interpreted as
.meaning re-definition of the north
ern boundary line would be favored
by the United States.
A formal reply cannot be expected
from Panama until the latter part of
the week. Dispatches at the Pan
aman legation today indicated that
complete tranquility had been re
stored in the disputed territories.
Latest advices reported the repatri
ation of several hundred prisoners
captured by Panaman forces, as well
as more than 40 wounded.
BANGOR & AROOSTOOK
TO CUT ALL WAGES
BOOSTED LAST MAY
Bangor, Me., Mar 14—The Bangor
& Aroostook railroad today announc
ed its intention to reduce wages of
all classes of employes whose rates
of pay were increased in accordance
with the decision of the Railroad La
bor Board, effective last May. The
reduction will take effect April 16.
and the amounts will depend on the
result of conferences which the road
announces it will hold at an early
date with representatives of the em
ployes.
The rates of pay established for the
above named employes, partly as the
result of the higli cost of living, etc.,
during and after the war, says the
circular issued to the employes, nev
er seemed to be just and reasonable
; rates for this territory. It is appar
ent also that there has been a ma
terial reduction in the cost of living
and of wages paid by other industries,
etc. On account of these rates of pay
being unjust and unreasonable, the
time has arrived when some reduc
tion in wages must be made.
Since the government took over the
road in 1918 the payroll has been in
creased $2,100,000.
Pastor Turns Down
$100(KBoost in Pay
Mount Vernon, N. T.. Mar. 14—Rev.
Otho F. Bartholomew, pastor of the
First Methodist church here today
refused a salary increase of $1,000 a
year, offered him by the church board.
He explained that his $6,000 a year
salary was sufficient and said he
would return the increase if it was
sent to him. He has been pastor of
the same church for 16 years and is
leader of a Bible class of 1800 mem
bers.

“Jug-Handled Application of
Law”—Hint of Nation Wide
Strike in Words President
Lee at Cleveland'
Cleveland, O., Mar. 14—Wage re
ductions by railroads without con
forming to the provisions of the
Cummins-Esch law should convince
the American people of the insin
cerity of the railroads in their pro
fessions of respect for and obedi
ence to the law and railroad em
ployes will not agree to any such
“jug-handled application of the
law” as certain of the railways have
announced they intend to place
upon it, said W. G. Lee, president
of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen in a statement issued to
night.
“If the railways insist upon viola
tion of the law, railway employes
will be fully justified in using every
resource at their command to com
bat the proposals of the railroads,”
the statement said.
“The American public should un
derstand the railroad situation thor
oughly,” the statement continued.
“It directly affects every inhabiant
of this country. It is an unwar
ranted proposition to tear down and
destroy American standards of work,
wages and living for tho benefit of
the railroads without regard to tho
welfare of the nation andtwo mil
lion employes who ask only for an
equal enforcement of the law. It is

President Names
Wainwright as
Assistant to Weeks
Washington, Mar. 14—President
Harding today filled three most im
portant posts in his administration,
and asked the Senate to again pro
long its special session to act on fur
ther nominations he expects to sub
mit tomorrow.
As assistant secretary of war, the
president named J. Mayhew Wain
wright of New York, who served in
the world war as a national guard
colonel on the stiff of the Twenty
Seventh Division, and as assitant sec
retary of the treasury, in charge of
foreign loans, he designated Eliot
Wadsworth of Boston, a retired busi
ness tman and Ked Cross officia1. Eu
gene Meyer, Jr., of New York, was
nominated as a director of the War
finance corporation* a post ha had
held ifnder the Wilson administra
tion.
All three nominations along with
the batch of army promotions were
cm firmed by the Senate wlt'i vit pro
longed. c'.ebate, the leaders hasten.r.g
consideration of the list in expecta
tion of as ine die adjournment to
night. When a committee was sent
to the White House late in the day,
however, to inquire the wishes of tl\e
executive, they were told that other
nominations would be ready tomor
row morning.
Whether the names to be sent in
at tomorrow's session will include
selections for the shipping board re
mained uncertain tonight, but there
were indications that the president
hoped to reach some decision soon in
regard to several of the board mem
bers. During the day h etalked over
the matter with Frank C. Munson of
the Munson steamship line and James
A. Farrell, president of the United
States Steel Corporation, both of
whom have been mentioned as possi
ble chairmen of the board, but both
of whom denied afterwards that they
were under consideration.
When the Senate adjourned today,
it had acted favorably on all but two
nominations before it. The two’nom
inees who failed were Representative
Esch of Wisconsin, to be a member
of the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion and Charles C. Madison of Kan
sas City, Mo., to be United States
attorney for he wesem district of
Missouri. Both were referred to com
mittees after objection o their imme
diate confirmation had been made by
Senators LaFollette, Republican, W
consin, and Sphcer, Republican, Mis
souri respectively.
The list of army officers numbering
about 6000, whose nominations were
confirmed, corresponded for the most
part with that sent to the Senate at
the last session by President Wilson.

BRITISH NAVAL
FUND PARED TO
LIMIT, SAYS LEE
London, March 14.—(By the Asso
ciated Press).—The British naval es
timates for 1921-23 amount to £91,
186,869 gross and £82,479,000 net. it
was announced today by Lord Lee of
Fareham, first lord of the admiralty.
He said they were based on the gov
ernment's policy of maintaining a
"one power standard."
"It is the duty of the admiralty to
carry out that policy, as economically
as possible," Lord Lee’-s statement
continued, “giving full weight to the
special geographical, international and
ether considerations which have aris
en since the war. This they are doing
—in no mechanical spirit nor with in
sistence upon numerical equality—and
realizing to the full the necessity of
reducing expenditure to the lo. est
limits compatible with national secur
ity, the admiralty have effected dras
tic economies and have agreed to as
sume risks which in ordinary circum
stances they would regard as difficult
to reconcile with full maintenance of
the government's declared policy.”
Lord Lee pointed out that the econ
omies Included a reduction in the num
ber of capital ships in foil commis
| slon from 20 to 16. as compared with.
38 in 1914.
'“This is the smallest number that
will enable the essential seagoing
technical training of officers and men
t*> be carried out properly,” the state
ment asserted.
Lord Lee pointed out that the esti
mates showed a reduction of more
than £14,000,000 gross and £8,250,000
net on the estimates for the previous
year. (The first lord probably re
ferred to the estimates before they
were revised.) The non-recurrent war
liabilities, or terminal charges, life
stated, would amount to about £8,250,
j 000, including £3,250,080 for the com
I pletion of light cruisers, aircraft car

Thousands Pray As

Priests and Women Lead In
Devotions—Soldier Watches
Crowd from Cast Iron Sen
try box—Men Die in Pairs
Dublin, March 14—Six prisoners
convicted of complicity In the killing
of British intelligence officers and
members of the crown forces in Ire
land, were executed in Mountjoy
prison today. They were hanged in
pairs at intervals of an hour.
Twenty thousand people gathered
outside the prison during the exe
cutions. All work in the city
stopped until 11 o’clock. Even tho
postoffice was closed and telegraph
service was suspended.
The crowd began assembling in
front of the prison at dawn and by
6 o'clock the prison yard was packed.
An hour later the crowd had filled
the roadway leading to the prison
and all the abutting streets.
An altar had been improvised near
the prison door and on the walls, and
trees in the prison yard sacred
images and pictures had been placed.
Everywhere candles were burned,
scores of persona in the heart of the
dense throng holding them aloft
throughout the long vigil. Here and
{here priests or women led in pray
ers or "hymns in which everyone
joined earnestly. Hundreds kneel
’ lug in the roadway were forced to
rise when an armored car made its
way through the crowd. From 5
o’clock this morning it had moved
back and forth in front of the prison.
On. the roof ofthejail overlooking the
entrance, a cast iron sentry box had
been erected overnight from which
a soldier kept watch on the crowd.
Two of the men executed, Patrick
Moran and Thomas Whelan, were
charged with complicity in the killing
of intelligence officers in Dublin on
Nov. 21 last. Whelan’s two brothers
are in the United States, one of them
in the American army. The other
four, Frank Flood, Bernard Ryan,
Thomas Ryan and Patrick Doyle,
were accused of participating in an
ambush near here in January in
which one member of the attacking
party was killed.
Not since the executions following
the 1916 uprisings, with the possible
exception of the hanging of Keven
Barry in November last for an attack
on a military escort, has Ireland been
more profoundly stirred. Although
6 o’clock had been fixed for the ex
ecution of the first pair, it was not
until 8.20 that the crowd knew the
fate of the prisoners. At that time
the following notice was posted out
side the jail gates:
“The sentence of the law passed on
Thomas AVhelan and Patrick Moran,
found guilty of murder, and on
Thomas Bryan. Patrick Doyle, Frank
Flood and Bernard Ryap. found guilty
of high treason in levying war, has
been carried into execution.”
No hint reached the watching mul
titude of the grim proceedings going
on In a distant wing of the big prison,
but hourly beginning at 6 o’clock, the
rosary was recited. But for a num
ber of reverent voices and the occa
sional sob of a woman, pofound sil
ence was maintained.
Negro Cooly Tells
of Attack on Organist
Found Slain in N. J. •
New Brunswick, N. J., Mar. 14.—
An extraordinary session of the Mid
dlesex grand jury will be called Fri
day to consider the case of George
Washington Knight, 22 year old negro
charged with the murder of Mrs.
Edith Wilson, church organist, whose
body was found near her home in
Perth Amboy, late Saturday night.
This announcement was made here
tonight by county Prosecutor Joseph
E.‘Strieker, who said that Knight
had made a full confession of the
crime.
“Knight frankly and freely admit
ted attacking Mrs. Wilson” Mr.
Strieker Bald. “He is one of the cool
est men charged with murder that I
have ever talked with. He repeated
the story In the presence of the hue
band of the dead woman without
fear, apparently. He seemed little
concerned fn his own fate."
Knight admitted, the prosecutor
said, taking Mrs. Wilson’s wrist
watch and two gold rings. The watch
was sold Sunday, the negro claimed,
and the proceeds spent in gambling.
The rings, Knight said, were given a
negro woman in Cliffwood. They were
recovered by detectives today.
’ Knight was brought here in an au
tomobile under heavy guard after he
had been arraigned in Perth Amboy
on a formal charge of murder. Three
other negroes, said to have been com
panions of Knight on Saturday, were
| arrested today and lodged in the

RAIL "LUMPERS”
PREPARE TO FIGHT
COMING WAGE CUT
New York. March 14.—The wave re
ductions proposed fpr unskilled labor
by the various rallrSads In the east,
probably will be rejected by the work
ers, a canvass of officials of the Inter
ested union organisations Indicated
here tonight.
The first official announcement of
the refusal of the reductions Is ex
pected tomorrow, when representatives
of the workers will meet in confer
ence with officials of the New York
■Central and reply to that road’s pro
posal to cut wages from 17} to 21 per
cent.
While no official statements were
made by union leaders, it was learned
that the various organizations have
been holding conferences here during
the last few days and all have prac
tically agreed to decline the wage
cuts and let the whole matter go to
the railway labor board at Chicago.
The workers take the position that
the figures and data submitted by the
railroads do not show sufficient cause
for the reductions and c$in not be sub
stantiated in a hearing.
That the railroad workers had
agreed on a policy to fight the reduc
tions was indicated by their move in
advancing one week the date for the
second conference with the New York
Central officials. This conference was
originally set for March 22.
The latest reduction proposed by
the railroads was made today by the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, which
would cut wages of all unskilled labor
from 10 to 17 cents per hour, effec
tive April 1. Union representatives
will make their final reply to this
proposal on March 24.
Wage reductions ranging from IB to
23 per cent, for marine workers em
ployed by the railroads in New York
harbor, it was also learned, have been
agreed upon by the official general
managers’ association, an organization
of general managers of all railroads
with terminals at tills port. This
proposal will be' submitted immedi
ately to the workers by the various
railroads. >
