Commission are favorable to the bill.
The chief objection to the measure
wmes from organized labor, whose
- grievance is not against the provi?
sions of the Cummins-Esch bill, but
against return of the railroads to
private operation.
In the past President Wilson has
been disposed to listen to what Di?
rector General Hines has had to aay
it was declared to-day. This was said
tp be particularly truc in the wagc
d)eniand of last summer nnd again a
ftew days ago. In .these two cases the
President followed Mr. Hlncs's ad?
vice.
The first thing Mr. Wilson asked for
on receiving the railroad bill from
Congress was a d'gest of its provisions
from Mr. Hines. this was sent to the
White House to-day. In all probability
the bill. will bo referrod to Attorney
Ceneral Palmer for an opinion as to
its constitutionality. This course al
ways is taken on highly important leg?
islation.
Hines Squarely for Bill
When he first becamo director. on the
retirement of William Gibbs McAdoo,
Mr. Hines favored the famous McAdoo
Rye-year "tcst" proposal. But ihe
President. on learning that the senti?
ment in Congress and throughout the
country was overwhehningly against
government ownership, announced many
months ago that the roads would be
rcturned to their owners the tirst of
this year. Congress was unable to get
through legislation, so the time was
advanced to March 1.
The question for Mr. Hines to pass
on in his recommendations to the
President was whether it would be bet?
ter to turn the roads back under the
pre-war laws or under the Cummins
Esch bill. And Mr. Hines came out
squarely for the railroad bill, as did
the^ Interstate Commeree Commission.
Union labor is going to protest
against the President approving the
bill. The railroad brotherhoods have
been very busy thex last few days on
the question of increased wages and
defeat ing the Cummins-Ksch bill.
The committee to see the President
will be made of radicals. As a matter
of fact, it can be stated with authority
that the conservatives among the rail?
road men are very well satisfied with
the Cummins-Esch bill. This is said to
be the reason that only radicals are
being put on the committee to see the
President. The conservatives realize
that they would be in a very awkward
position if they eo to the White House
10 urge the veto^bf a bill which in fact;
they approved. If-called upon by the
President for a bill of particulars
against the measure they would be un-l
able to furnish it.
Conservative Element Silent
"Only the radicals in the brotherhoods
?rem not to have sensed the fact that
the country is behind Congress in itsl
latest effort at railroad legislation,"
said one observer to-day. "At first it
was supposed that the brotherhood*
chiefs, accompanied by Samuel Gom-i
pers, Frank Morrison and other lead-1
ers of organized labor, would swoop I
down on the President and make de
mands on him similar to those made
qn Congress after the railroad con?
ferees reached an angreement. Un?
able to bluff Congress, the more con?
servative element decided it was time to
quit. Curiously enough, Gompers and
Morrison are out of the city at this
time. They are in Miami, Fla.. for a
conference of labor leaders that can
b< h ld without interruption. If they
had a real grievance against the Cum?
mins-Esch bill?one that the countrv
could appyovc it is a safe bet they
would be here now instead of in
Plorida."
One of the conservatives among the
bh-othcrhood, delegates here for the
many conferences said to-day the rank
and file of the railroad employees
realize that a big blunder was made
when the brotherhoods tied up with the
PJumb plan last summer. There is a
strong sentiment for government
ownership and government operation.
A*. first blush the Plumb plan?which
calls for government ownership and
operation by the employees, insttad of
the government looked pretty much
like i. topia. So the big mass of rail?
road employees gol behind the scheme.

Tenants Raise Rent for

If, fifty years from now, New York

Mr. Kelly'a present Christian name

the days of the war, while profiteering

Contlnueit from pngn 1
rnnts for the arrest of Mr. McDonough
and others accused of resisting the
prohibition officers.
The Iron County officials are said
to have held up George J. Grove,
prohibition director for the Upper Pen
msula, and three stat? troopers last
week, taking eleven bnrrels of wine
which the Federal agents had seized.
LANSING, Mich., Feb. 24.?Major Roy
C. Vandcrcook, commander of the
Michigan state police, announced to
night he had ordcred troopers in up?
per Michigan to cooperate with Federal
agents in enforcing the prohibition
law in Iron County.
An official report of the troublc
reached headquartcrs here late to-day, j
but comment was withheh! except for
the statement that the situation was I
not regarded as serious. There are
about fourteen troopers in the upper
peninsula. Sending of additional men,
it was said, is not now contemplated.
MARQUETTE, Mich., Feb. 24.?H. B.
Hatch, United States Commissioner, in
refusing to issue Federal warrants for
the arrest of six Iron County oflicials
charged with conspiracy to obstruct the
prohibition law, said to-day he could
not act without the approval of Dis?
trict Attorney Walker, at Grand Rapids,
Federal Judge Sessions or Attorney
General Palmer.
Authority Conflicts in Case
Commissioner Hatch, after confer
ring with Major Dalrymple, sent the I
following telegfam to District Attornev
Walker at Grand Rapids:
"Supervising Federal Prohibition j
Agent Dalrymple here requests war?
rants for arrests of Prosecuting Attor
ney McDonough and those associated
with him in interfering with Prohibi- j
tion Agent Grove in seizure of wine in i
Iron River on February 19. Shall I j
issue warrants? If not, when they are j
arrested by Dalrymple and brought bc- !
fore me, shail I then issue warrants and
hear the case? Wire immediatcly."
Later Commissioner Hatch received
n telegram from District Attorney
Walker rcquesting that Major Dal?
rymple wire a statement of the situa?
tion in Iron County and whether Grove
had search warrants when he made the
raids there. The telegram said Mr.
Walker was ready to authorize the ar?
rest of Prosecutor McDonough and the
other Iron County officials if the facts
warrant. Major Dalrymple telegraphed
Mr. Walker that Grove had no search
warrants. as none were required under
the prohibition law, bceause the liquor
was seized in a store and not in a pri?
vate dwelling.
Major Dalrymple declared there
could be no compromise, and that he
proposed to "make an example" out
of the Iron County officials to show
the country that the "prohibition law
is to be respeeted."
Major Dalrymple said he would take
his prisoners to Chicago to-night.

Polk Continnes to Lead in the !
Sperulation Over Candidates
for Secretary of State
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. President
Wilson rs expected to announcc to-mor?
row his selection of a successor to
Robert Lansing as Secretary of State.
White House officials, in saying to
night that announcement of the ap
pointment might be expected within the
next twenty-four hours, refused to dis
cuss the question of whom the Presi?
dent had agreed upon.
The name of Frank L. Polk, Secretary
ad interim since the resignation of Mr.
Lansing, continuea to be mentioned
most prominently for the portfolio.
Little surprise, in fact, would be evi
denced in unofficial circles if Mr. Polk
were selected.
Speculation as to the possibility of
Mr. Polk's selection takes cognizance
of the fact that he understands thor
ough'y the Adriatic question. the most
pressing matter now engaging th > ?t

the appointment of the Under Secre?

Secretary after William Jennings Bryan

Restaurants Here
Prospering Despite
'Dry' Law Restiaiot
Many Have Adopted Plan
of Providing Good Food
to Attracl Early Dinner
Parties of New Yorkersj
Broadway's restaurant palaces are |
far from taking the count. Truc
encugh, perhaps, as .Tulius Keller, own
er of Maxim's and for forty years ;n
the restaurant business in New York,
said yesterday: "New York's nignt
life is no more. It has given way to
the quest for good food and bright cn
tertainment." But, according to Mr.
Keller, Broadway restaurants still have j
much for which to be thankful.
"Churchill's?" repeated the ownerof
that restaurant. "Say, we're doingthe
business of our career. Last night, for ;
oxample, we sold $1,000 worth of food ;
over the tigures of a year ago. Of
course, sales of Hquor last year dls
counted this somewhat, but- and I'm
not exaggerating it?we could have
filled Madison Square Garden last
night."
Mr. Churchill declared that the night
business was not what it once. was, but
added that the early evening patronage,
dinner parties, tea parties and the like,
quite made up for it, and, said that
"what the people want now is some
thing like mother used to enjoy
Mean, wholesome amusement and good'
food. And we're. giving it to them at
a rate limited only by the number of
jhairs and tables we have."
A casual obscrvation impressea one
ivith the extent to which the once noisy
and wine-dispensing places have been
tranaformed into comfortable, sanc
and, if one muat admit it, more or
rlerly food-dispensing cstablishments.
\nd, according to the records of such
places as the Cafe des Beaux Arts,
Delmonico's and Thomas Healy's
fjolden Glades, the returns are equal
ing, if not surpassing, those realizsd
vhen liquor selling was at its hcight.
_ "Broadway restaurants," said ' Mr.
Keller, of Maxim's, "are depending
jpon New York men and women who
like to come downtown for a carefree
jvening. Do you know that in two
,-ears the floating population of Broad
vay has been reduced 50 per cent?
rhia is because great numbers who
"ormerly came to New York on the
iretext of buying goods to enjoy an
jvening in a cafe no longer come here,
"Now, they write or telephone their'
irders and stay at home, knowing there
s no great attraction here."
"Healy's is just beginning to thrive,"
=aid the owner of Golden Glades. He
said that so long as the larger estab
ishments provide food that "made peo
)le talk" they would do well.
It wifs announced by the Pekin,
igainst which yesterday involuntary
)etition in bankruptcy was llled, that
he restaurant would remain in opera-j
;ion, and that it had not had a brighter I
lutlook since its establishment.

Intimacy Due to Gratitude
for Convicted Traitor's
Sympathy in Misfortime
PARIS, Feb. 24.?The examination
of former Premier Joseph Caillaux, on
trial before the Senate, sitting as a
high court, on the charge of having
; had treasonable dealings with the Ger
mans and conspiring to bring about
, a dishonorable peace, was resumed to
day.
Tho questions dealt with the rela
I tions of M. Caillaux with Bolo Pasha,
executed at Vincennes in April, 1918,
after being convicted of treason, and
Pierre Lenoir, executed in 0-ctoner,
1919, on being found guilty o having
held intelligence witn the enemy.
Continuing, the witness said he con
sidered Bolo Pasha innocent of the ac
| cusations against him and treated him 1
[ affectionatt-Ty, even while under sus- I
[ picion early in 1917. He sevcred re- I
i lations With Bolo only when telegrams
from the United States were received.
The witness snid he had mct Lenoir
but twice and M. Duval. director of :
the newspaper "Bonnet Rouge," who
was executed in July, 1918, only once.
His relations with MSiguel Almereyda,
editor of the "Bonnet Rouge," who
was sentenced to live years' imprison
ment in connection with the Bolo Pasha
case and died mysteriously in prison,
according to Caillaux, were slight. He
said he was suspicious of Almereyda.
Concerning Bolo Pasha M. Caillaux
told of frequcnt meetings with him at
luncheons and dinners in his own home
and at tho residence of Bolo. These
meetings, he said, were due to grati?
tude for Bolo's attitude and sympathy
in 1914, "when the greatest catastro
phe which ever befell a public man
was visited upon me."
M. Caillaux added that not alonc
was he satisfied that the case against
Bolo Pasha could not be proved, but
that former Premiers Viviani and Pain
leve told him there was no proof
against Bolo, and that the case would
have to be nbandoned.
M. Caillaux appeared to be worn out '
after his long ordeal, but much less
so than the venerable president of the
Senate, Leon Bourgeois, and some of
the aged Senators, who already are
showing tho strain the trial is impos- i
ing upon them. The galleries again
were crowded to-day with women, some
of them in low-necked gowns, suggest
ing a gala night at the opera.
The trial will be resumed to-morrow,
when M. Caillaux's activities in Italy
will come up.
Pershing 'Apes' British
Fashions,Charge in House
Cut of General's Coat and Trou
sers Criticized by Representa
tive Connallv, of Texas
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.?The cut of
General Pershing's coat and trouscrs
was debated to-day in the House. He
and other American army officers were
charged by Representative Connally,
Democrat, of Texas, with having
"apeel" Europcan fashions in their uni
forms and in carrying canes.
"General Pershing's coat is split up
Ihe back and his trousers bagged like
the English uniform," said Mr. Con?
nally.
"Ho kept his American head," Rep?
resentative Wingo, Democrat, or Arkan
sas, interjected, "but I, too, noticed that
his coat tail was very English."
Deploring the adoption oi" foreign
fashions, Representative Connally
moved to abolish the title of Under
Secretary of State and substitute the
former title of counsellor, in the cxecu?
tive appropriation bill, but the motion
was defeated, 39 to 21.
During the discussion Representa?
tive Giecn Republican. of Massachu
setss, referred to former Secretary
Lausings retirement from the Cabinet. :
"What's in a name?" Mr. Greene
asked. "A Secretary of State by any
other name would have a row with the
Administration."
When the Republicans cheered, Rep?
resentative Connally brought a reply
salvo from the Democrats by retort
ing that the Republicans applauded in
ternal difficulties of the Administra?
tion.

Clause Is Barred
The honor system in examinations,
with the obligation to "aqueal" on

terday by the senior. junior and freah
man classes of Columbia Univeraity.
The sophomore class will vote on it at
its next meeting. Instead of reportmg
to tho inatructors pupils caught crib
bing the atudent body will takc it
upon itself to punish offcndera by

Under the, plan adopted each pupil
will sign at the bottom of his paper
a statement that he has not cribbed.
The provision requiring pupils to "tell

system when it was considered on prc
vious occasiona.
Dctails are to be drawn up by the

in 1915, receiveXi $403,221 as commis?
sions.
Major Reilly, who is suing for com?
missions, demar.d-; as his share $525,
?SL'5 on the order for shelis, which he
obtained and for which the Eddystone
Ammunition| Corporation received a
?>ross payment of $30,744,000. There
were 2,206,500 shells manufactured to
,he order of the Russian government.
The plaintiff, who is a technical and
consulting engineer, through Havs,
Hershfield & Wolf, is suing the Ba'ld
win Loconiotive Works, the Eddystone
Ammunition Corporation, Samuel H.
Vauclain, formerly vice-president of
the Baldwin company, and Andrew
Fletcher
Prior to July, 1915, said Major Reilly,
the Baldwin company, through Vauclain,
negotiated with the Russian govern?
ment for the manufacture of field ar
tillery, shrapnel and shells. They or?
ganized the Eddystone company
to execute the order, alleges the plain?
tiff. With the consent of the Russian
representative here the corporation was
ormed with a capital of $2,500. Major
Reilly says the Baldwin company, its
officers and stockholders were the real
owners of this new corporation.
Major Reilly alleges that it was
falsely represented to him that the
Eddystone company was in default on
its contract with Russia, and that a
S10,0()0,i)00 advance payment made had
been spent on tho plant. It was further
represented to the plaintiff, he says,
that the British government, through
J, P. Morgan & Co., had intervened to
finance the Russian government, take
over the contract and become respon
sible for it. This arrangement, Major
Reilly says he was told, was condi
tional on there being no outstanding
claims. Reilly was promised his share
of the profits if he would consent to l
cancel his contract with the Eddystone i
aompany. If he did thia, Major Reilly
saya he was told, he would help the i
Eddystone concern "out" of a very i
sritical financial situation." The only !
risk, he was assured, was from insuf- j
licient profits from the performance ?
af the contract, which, however, was j
unlikely. The plaintiff says the de- !
fendanta concealed from him that it I
vas intended there should be no profits,
jut that large sums were paid to Vau?
clain and Fletcher. They and the
British government, it is alleged, were
:he only beneiiciaries under the ar
.?angement.

Wife Gets
Check Signed
By Arnstein
fniitlnurd from pngr I
actress, with a view to ascertafning
what she knows of her husband's al?
leged complicity in the bond robberies,
which was to have been made yester?
day before Federal Judge Hand by Saul
S. Myer,?, attorney for the National Se
curity Company, probably will bc made
this morning.
Arnstein's Arrest Expected
Ncither Mr. Mycrs nor Edwards II.
Childs, Federal receiver for Arnstein,
would discuss the case yesterday. It
was said that the delay in filing a re?
quest for oermission to investigate the
3afe deposit boxes was due to a desire
on the part of the surety company to
gain more definite information con
r.c-cting the boxes with Arnstein's finan
ci-i'. transactions.
The surety company is reported to
have located yesterday another safe de?
posit box, which is said to fce held
jointly by Mr. and Mrs. Arnstein. This,
according to the company, is the fifth
safe deposit box they have traced to
which Mrs. Arnstein is believed to hold
the keys.
The search for Arnstein/- yesterday
centered on Long Island, and the de
tectives working on the case said last
j night that his arrest was only a mat
| ter of hours. They point to the check
I for $13,000 to substantiate their theory
j that the fugitive is not very far from
j the city limits.
The Arnsteins own a beautiful coun?
try home at Huntington, L. I., and he
is well known in that vicinity. One
private detective agcncy received a tip
last night that the alleged bond plotter
was being sheltered by a friend who
lives in a scheduled section of Long
; Island.
Two additional indictments were re
j turned yesterday against William H.
j ("Big Bill") Furey, one of the Wall
j Street messengers now under arrest,
| whose alleged confession is said to
I have implicated Arnstein and several
I of his friends. The indictments charge
j him with extortion and a violation of
the Sullivan law. Furey is now held in
5100,000 bail on a charge of grand
larceny.
The extortion indictment alleges that
before Furey went into partnership
with Joseph Gluck, another prisoner
being held in connection with bond
thefts, he met Gluck on the street and,
posing as a detective, pretended to ar?
rest him. Gluck, it is allaged, bought
his own release by turning over to
Furey an automobile valucd at $3,800,
a diamond ring worth $1,600 and $1,700
in cash.

moned the Police Commissioner to the
pulpit.
"Another hero of the Police Depart- |
ment has gone to his reward," said
Commissioner Enright. ? "He entered
the service with the full knowledge of
its possibilities. He was a soldier as
brave and gallant as the soldiers who'
fought on the battlefield. He did not
have the support of his fellow men or :
the call of the bugle to stir his patriot
ism, but in the silent night with none
to support him a crash from a revolver
took his life."
The coffin left the church between
long lines of policemen standing at at
tention. Burial was at the Lutheran
Cemetery, Long Island.
