(C?nllnu?d from ?ago on?)
that he would wait no longer, as he
ha?? an engagement.
Secretary Tumulty arrived at the
(xecutlvc offices about 9 o'clock, and
? ?n half an hour Senator As!n?rst
oped in. It was then that the Ari?
zona .Senator was informed that no
action a:? yet had teen taken by the
i ?i n the bill
The bill Mr. Ashurst desiren action
. : u p? nds labor requirements and
assessment work on mining claims
until July, 1921. It passed the Sen
ati last Thuruday and was received at
? '? ?(? White House Friday. Since then
Mr. Ashurst has ben? unable to get
any information us t<) the statu? of
the measure.
Explanation was made at the Execu?
tive offices during one of the intervals
between the Arizona Senators visits
that the President had until midnight
January -1 to sign or veto the bill
which would extend for six months the
previsions of the law requiring flOO
worth of work on mining claims be?
fore midnight December 31.
Senator Ashurst on one of his visits
declared that for the President td sign
the measure after December .'Jl would
be like pardoning a man after he was
hanged, since hundreds of Western
mine owners would be dispossessed by
claim jumpers who, he said, were wait?
ing- "like blackbirds on a fence" to lile
claims to the mines.
"To say the least," he added, "pro?
tracted and extensive litigation would
ensue should the President fail to sign
the bill before January 1."
In addition to Senator Ashurst, Sena?
tors Smoot, Republican, of Utah; Nu
gent, Democrat, of Idaho; Pittman,
Democrat, of Nevada, and other West?
ern Senators and Representative?
called to see Secretary Tumulty during
the day to pr?s? for action on the bill.
White House policemen, bewildered
by the unconventional entrance of
Senator Ashurst into the White House,
s< ught information to-night from head?
quarters as to how far their jurisdic?
tion extended over a United States
Senator, or whether the constitutional
immunity of a member of Congress
from arrest would protect a Senator
from being forcibly refused admittance
to the residence of the President of
the United States.

Upper House Monday
From The. Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Dee. 29.? Passage by
:>>e Senate at an early date of the bill
Uready passed by the House for the
repeal or war laws appears probable.
The bill, when sent to the Senate
from the House a short time ago, was
referred to the Judiciary Committee
ind.thence to a sub-committee headed
by Senator Sterling. The sub-commit?
tee has gone over the bill and will re?
port to the Judiciary Committee at its
next meeting, urging that it be report?
ed to the Senate and passed.
Monday is the regular day for the
Judiciary Committee to meet, but it
may not assemble until a week from
next Monday. When it does meet it is
expected to report the bill quickly, and
then an effort will be made to have the
Senate consider it.

Lifting of Small Arms? Ban Indi?
cate? U. S. Approval
From The Tribune's Washington Burtatx
WASHINGTON, Dec 29.?Lifting of
the ban against the shipment of small
arms into Mexico, authorized by the
State Department, is interpreted here
as indicating that the Administration
is satisfied that the Obregon govern?
ment has restored order in the (south?
ern republic and is capabla of regulat?
ing the use of arms by the natives.
Notice of the removal of restric?
tions was given to all railroads by
the car service section of the Ameri?
can Railway Association, which ad?
vised the carriers they would be per?
mitted to accept for shipment into
Mexico small arms and small arms am?
munition beginning January 1,
The ban still applies to artillery of
all calibers and ammunitions therefor,
machine guns, automatic rifle*, gren?
ades and bombs. The restrictions are
lifted as to shotguns, rifles, revolvers
and pistols, small arms ammunition,
dynamite, blasting powder and other
high explosives used for industrial pur?
poses, and fuses or caps for firing ex?
plosives.

A mass meeting attended by 2,500

pose of protesting against the deporta?

to the United States.
Reference to Marten? as "the repre?
sentative of the most democratic coun?
try in the world," made by Chairman
Itandt, w?h received by the audienco
with jjreut Rppluus*.
Several speakers characterized hi?
deportaron as marking the beginning
of n new policy toward Russia by the
United Stau??* government and as being

Since this nation is spending a billion
dollars annuallv supporting* aulomo
biles, .'mother billion dollars on ice
, cosmetics and ci eu;:.,' gum, a
few billion more on drinks, tobacco
and other luxuries, it has not reached
a point of destitution that warrants re?
fusal to buy happiness and cheerful?
ness for this mass of children.
"Indeed, the care of cm.dren is the
most cheerful of occupations. Laugh?
ter and joy in children ha:? a quantita?
tive relationship to the number of cal
, ories that we can stun" into them, if ou
vin make sure that every meal served
to a child in Europe brings a ripple of
laughter and a squeak of joy. The
pathos of this service resta only in
our imaginative picturing of the great
tragedy that lies behind these mites.
But. in' the occupation that you and I
Tire devoting ourselves to in the pro?
vision of food, clothing and medical
sc vices to these, children, we are in?
deed inspiring happiness, not only in
millions of children, but inspiring
courage and resolution in millions of
their parents."
James A. Flaherty, Supreme Knight
of the Knights of Columbus, suggested
that $5,000,000 remaining from the
United War Fund drive might be
turned over to the European Relief
Council. He said it would provide for
000,000 children this winter.
Other speakers included Mrs. John

PARIS, Dec 29.?Wilsonian modiatioi
in Armenia seems to be indefinite!;
postponed. The Armenians themsclve;
are now holding a peace conferenc
with the Turkish Nationalists unde
Mustapha Kenia!, while the Russia:
Bolsheviki are acting as mediators. Th
conference is sitting at Alcxandropo
in the Caucasus. L?nine sent his tw
agents, Legrand and Devant, to medi
ate between Katcsian, who represent
Armenia, and Kiazin Karaboki Pashi
the Turkish delegate.
The Bolsheviki have an army sts
tioned at Axtafa, and have demande
permission for it to enter Armenia i
case of necessity as the price of thel
mediation.
The Bolsheviki, it, is reported, ar
endeavoring to force the Turks to r<
turn Kars to Armenia. The mediato?
ulso intend to decide the fate of Tifli
and Batum.
If Lcninc's mediation succeeds
will result in enormously increasin
the influence of the Bolsheviki in tl:
Near Fajt. Ominous reports are read
ing Paris from Georgia, and it is fcar<
l that the whole of thin part of tl
world, led by Armenia and Georgia, ma
I turn Bolshevik. The defeat of Ge:
j eral Wrangel in the Crimea had
I strong reaction on the new states th
once were part of the Russian Kinpii
The now Armenian government is r
ported to be under a group of men wl
[ are all pro-Russian.
| It is said that a nucleus of pr
Turks still exists in the Caucasus ai
could be developed into a force to cor
bat the Bolsheviki, but at present th?
arc being overwhelmed by the Red i
fiuence.
While the Bolsheviki arc appearii
as mediators favorable to Armeni
France again is talking of adopting i
active pro-Turk policy. Henry Fran
lin-Bouillon, former Minister of Mi
sions abroad, pleading before the St?
ate Foreign Relations Commission yc
terday for a strong pro-Turk poiic
said :
"We must lean on the Turks, ai
rot only on the official Turkey of Co
j stantinople, but on that real livr
? Turkey of Angora, the Turkey of Kein
I Pasha. England is pursuing a fai
I policy in the Near East. Let's ?i
I follow her. Let's frankly tako the i

Presumably, in a pro-Turk poli?
?France would support the white fore

Fifty prominent Americans of Irish
ancestry from all parts of the United
States met yesterday in the offices of
Judge Morgan J. O'Brien, 120 Brood
way, and formed the American Com?
mittee, for Relief in Ireland. A pre
iminary fund of $300,000 was under
writ ton to complete the work of organ?
ization and begin the administration
of relief and an appeal was dn ftcd to
the American public.
At the earliest possible moment, it.
?-. ; am ? un< ? d, the committee will
open perman nt licadquart ?-. in New
York and, meanwhile, will conduct its
affairs i r m the office of Judj c Richai 1
Campbell, i I Wall Street, v ho was
elected seen tary of tl
ecutive committee. .';:.i.- O'Brien was
designated its chairman, and J. J.?
Pulleyn, president of the Immigrants
Industrial Savings Bank, its treasurer.
The committee includes in it:, member?
ship His Eminence James Cardin.-:! Gib?
bons, Thomas F. Ryan, Nicholas F.
Brady, George M. Cohan, Senator
Thomas J. Walsh, of Massachusetts;
.Senator James M. Phclan, of California,
and others.
Above Factionalism
The new relief committee is affiliated
with neither Irish nor- political fac?
tions in any way whatever, it was said
by Senator Walsh, who made the an?
nouncement, but is above factionalism
anil is representative of all the cements
of Irish-Americanism.
"The sole: and only function of this
organization," ho said, "is to do what
is possible to ameliorate suffering in
Ireland, where people are starving and
where prompt action is necessary to
prevent widespread distress. Cable?
grams from the four Archbishops of
Ireland, in response to inquiries from
Cardinal Gibbons, say the need of re?
lief is immediate and imperative.
"The presidents of both the national
Irish societies are included in the mem?
bership of the national council, and
no factionalism or other consideration
will arise to impede the efficiency of
the committee's operation. Our pur?
pose is purely humane-?bigger than
either political or factional issues ? and
will have the united support of all
Irishmen, as well as thousands of Amer?
icans of other origin."
.Senator Walsh said Herbert Hoover
had been consulted during the progress
of the committee's formation on the
best means of expediting relief.
Appeal to Public
The committee's appeal to the public :
says in partj
"To the American Public In Ireland
to-day thousands ol women .and chil?
dren have been driven to the pitiful!
refuge of the fields and open country.
Balbriggan, Granard, Tralec, Temple

les and numerous other towns und vil?
lages have been burned and are in
ruins. In Cork alone acres of business
buildings and homes havo been wiped!
out by (ire. And grim winter has over- ;
taken the homeless.
"To meet this appalling situation |
.and to cope with it be-fore it. reaches
a point where it may menace the very
existence of the Irish people, (he Amer?
ican Committee for Relict" in Ireland
has been formed. This committee is a
non-political and non-sectarian body,
solely humanitarian in aim. which
seeks the cooperation of all those in
whom human suffering evoked sym- '<
pathy.
"This American committee purposes
to supply relief to the women and chil?
dren in Ireland, without regard to
political or religious distinctions, ?
through trained rslief workers, dis?
tributing foodstuffs, clothing building

Martens'* Staff Vote to
Go With Him to Russia
Thirty clerks and other "attach?s" of
the Russian Soviet Bureau, 11?) West
Fortieth Street, yesterday voted to ac?
company Ludwig C. A. K. Martens to
Russia when he is conovted by the
United States. The cholea of going to
Russia or remaining in tbis country
was put to the employees,.with the re?
sult, it waa announced, that they had
voted unanimously not to desert'their
chief.
Mr. Martens, who for more than two
years has insisted that he was the com?
mercial agent of the Bol he\ k govern?
ment, will surrender himself :.o offi?
cials o!* the Department, of Commerce
and Labor next Monday. It will then
be determined on what ship he will
sail from New York.
v Charles Recht, his attorney, said
yesterday that arrangement.* had been
made to have Mr. Martens's office staff
accompany him. Mr. Reel:': said the de?
parture of Mr. Martens was likely to
make it more difficult I't the l'n ted
States to deport Russians in the fu?
ture. Heretofore, he sa.d, Mr. Martens
has issued "passports" to those de?
ported. The documents enabled them
to travel through Latvia and be wel?
comed on the Russian border.
About live hundred persons arc being
held in this country as .'ubject to d??
port?t on. They include a number en*
insane aliens. Thirty-four are in Bos?
ton. iMr. Recht departed for Boston
last nie lit to conduct a test habeas

'I ho New York Trust Company, execu?

Court yesterday for judicial settlement
of its accounts and relief from further
management of the estate.
Mr. Erickson died on October 2?L 1918,
and while the apparent value of his es?
tate is ?SI,'191,800, its actual value is un?
certain because of the doubtful worth
of some of the assets.
Many judgments obtained against the
decedent several years prior to his
death hud not been satisfied, the trust
company found, and the signing of the
armistice sixteen day:? after his death
reduced the earnings of several freiRht
forwarding corporations in which Mr.
Erickson was associated with Frank F.
Boulton,
More than 5500,000 in securities, was
used to pay claims against the Erick?

The demands included a government
ubsidy of ?2 a week for each unem?
ployed householder and twenty-live

tremists, there was talk of a threaten?

Bolshevist r?gime was cheered.
The British Cabinet, also had th" sub?
ject of unemployment under considera

A sharp drop in the retail prices
of clothing, boots and gloves was re?
ported and, coincidental y, a cut in

ceiving increased wages. The author?

Thomas M. Chadbourne, New York law?
yer, who lias been mentioned as a
candidate for. chairman of the Demo
? ratic National Committee, declared
last night before 300 members of the
. ii A ? : ation for Labor Legis
.' ? in the Hotel Ast?r.
.Ir, Chadbourm is president of the
.?;.:., and his address con istcd
? part ? E ". dc f< ns? of liberalism
. ? being worked mt in Russia. Ho
sever ly criticized what hi termed the
? ??? ["ding -indifference of the American
I ...M.? to every new idea of social jus
tice advanced in other countries. The
"natural and artiticial inequalities''
existing in this country between its
p. oples were such as to constitute a
stain upon the greatest nation on the
face of the earth,'he declared.
Actions That Cause Revolutions
Mr. Chadbourne was introduced by
Edwin F. Gay, formerly dean of the
Harvard Graduate School of Business
A'dministratioti and president of The
Evening Post Company, who preceded
Mr. Chadbourne in a discussion of the
unemployment problem ana remedial
m? ..sures.
"History is full of revolutions grow?
ing out of ilie same causes that are
now operating in this count!."," said
Mr. Chadbourne.
"The politically dominating classes
in Europe aiid the United State.-, will
not tolerate one single idea not in
keeping with the established order ami
state of the ?social structure," he con?
tinued. ''There is no more striking il?
lustration of our failure to accept any
liberal thought that comes from the
other side thiin our indifference to the
ought of Russia's 170,000.000 people.
\" detail of their experiences is
wanted except the blackest variety, in
ord? r that the worst side only may be
presented.
"No one seem:-, to perceive that out
of that maelstrom there is any lesson
in lolcrancc to be drawn for us.
Labor Not Represented
I"A peculiar Situation exists in the
state legislatures of this country.
Absolutely no provision is made for
the representation of labor in our
governmental councils. Labor* has not
only been persistently refused repre?
sentation, but it has refused to organ?
ise a labor party. The labor leader
has discouraged the rank and tile from
political part ici?iat ion. The employer
ipparentlj conceives that he, too, i;
better olt when he stays out of politics.
"It ~is for us to instruct labor that
a strike cannot succeed unless such
action is preceded by favorable politi?
cal ilCtilill."
Enactment of social insurance and
workmen's compensation measures in
Germany years before this country had
tried them out, Mr Chadbourne said,
had made ?''or the. remarkable solidarity
of the German people in the hite war.
Otiier speakers were Whiting Will?
iams, formerly vice-president and per
si un?'! director of the Hydrau'ic Pros; ed
Steel Company; the'.Rev, John A. Ryan,

ment of the National Catholic Welfare

Monroe Doctrine
'At Colby Dinner
Genuine Good Will Ex-|
pressed in Reeep'ion to
Secretary; Idealism of
U. S. in War Extolled
MONTEVIDEO, Dec. 29 ?'By The As?
sociated Press).? Pan-American s
darity, especially the strong friendship
existing between Uruguay and the
United States, was the theme of 'the
speeches at several functions at which
the Uruguayan government to-day en?
tertained Bainbridge Colby, the Amer?
ican Secretary of State.
Members of the American mission
told the correspondent that they saw in
these expressions of friendship far
more than mere diplomatic courtesy?a
genuine manifestation of a real feel?
ing.
President Drum, speaking to-night at
a banquet in honor of Secretary Colby
at the government palace, recalled his
visit to the United States in 1318,
: where he saw the nation's war effort
and could feel ''that all that powerful
energy was not set in motion for the
sake of avenging a direct or personal
offence, nor to obtain material advan?
tages, nor (o extend further the boun?
daries of the homeland, but for hu
inanity and t?) establish among nations
the supremacy of justice."
Secretary Colby, replying, referred
to the solidarity of the Americas in
their devotion to freedom and their
hatred of aggression, and in this con?
nection said.
"I cannot understand how there can
be any misconception, even the sucht?
est, of the far-sighted, unselfish and
fraternal policy of the Monroe Doctrine
in the light of it? century of useful
service, not to this hemisphere alone,
but to the world. For it must bo re?
membered tiiat no countries have so
fully and so profitably participated in
the fruitage of stable government, of
unmolested nat?o-nal independence and
law abiding liberty in South America
as have the nations of Europe, to whom
the declarations contained in the Mon?
roe Doctrine are primarily intended to
apply."
Dr. Javier Mendivil, former Minister
of the interior and now chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee of
the Uruguayan Senate, speaking at a
luncheon given to Mr. Colby earlier in
the day, said that Uruguay had a thor?
ough comprehension of the Monroe
Doctrine and understood that it did not
mply nor involve any right on the part
of the United Stales to compromise or
dominate the independent sovereignty
of any American state.

Service, He Asserts
From Ihr. Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.?Reduction
in appropriations for the navy, fore?
ras! in statements made' by members
of the House appropriations committee
after their conferences with President?
elect Harding at Marion, will cause a
corresponding decrease in the opera?
tion of major vessel?, Secretary
Daniels said.
"We h^ivc asked Congress only for
such sums as are needed to carrv the
navy through on the basis of an en?
listed personnel of 143,000 men,"
Secretary Daniels said. "This num- ;
her of men are necess:.ry if all the
capital ships are to be kept in opera?
tion. If the Congress cuts the ap?
propriations down to provide for only
100,000 men, as suggested ' from
Marion, it will mean t;,at we will have
to put out of commission some vessels
that should be kept constantly in use.
"AH our destroyers should be kept
in commission because they deteriorate
rapidly, and it would not be wise ?0
reduce their crews materially."
