Indian Nationalist in Chicago Announces Arrival of
Code Cable Telling of Rising; British Said to
Have Imprisoned 20,000 Natives
?F- i?.,' Dispatch to The Tribute
CHICAGO, Hoc. 26, Dr. X. Krishna,
one of the three representatives of the
Indian National Congress now in Amer?
ica seeking American aid in tin- cause
of India's freedom, said to-night he
had received a code cablegram from
Calcutta informing him that a revo?
lution had started in India. There
was no confirmation of this report, from
anv other source. According to Dr.
Krishna the cablegram said:
"Tue revolt went im.) effect :F V
o'clock this morning. More than 700.
have been shot. Over '200 killed.
Twenty thousand natives have been
placed in prison by tho British troop-,
-lundreds of houses and buildings
burned. The main outbreak is in Cal?
cutta."
Dr. Krishna said:
"One year ago Christmas Day the
Indian Conjjres.s in Calcutta ordered
that no person in sympathy with the
movement should buy any article of
i nil ; from Kngland, Indian money
should be spent in America.
"The message was stopped near the
source b> the British authorities. It
never g-ol F> America, and American
newspaper correspondents would not
send it. out.
"Tiie Indian nation is not fighting
against the white race simply against
oppression and English rule. The
Prince of Wales in India is nothing

ing the country.
"At?lo than LM.ooo.OOO sworn mem?

CALCUTTA, Dec. 'JO [B.v The Asso

Calcutta's inhabitant? to-day were

and to all appearances the "hartal,"

Many of the natives were in the

they heartily acclaimed the Prince.

Detectives Morrison and Glassner, of
the West _inely>second Street police
station, last night captured two automo?
bile tire thie\es after a running light
in a commandeered car during which
the police fired ten shots. A car .in I
which the fugitives endeavored to es-;
cape crashed through a railing and :
into the basement of MOkWost Ninety-1
second Street, pinning Salvatore Al- :
bero, twenty-eight years old, of 2_?2.
First Avenue, under the wheel.
Patrick Durauo, said by the police
to be the owner of a bootblack stand, ;
leaped from the wrecked car and ran to
the roof of a building, whither he was
pursued by Detective Morrison. A fighv ?
ensued in an attic under the roof in
which Morrison clubbed Durano into
submission with his revolver butt. The
man was unconscious: when taken to
the police station. Dr. White, of;
Knickerbocker Hospital, revived him.]
According to the police, both men con-;
fesscd having stolen the car in which i
they were riding and six tires found,
in it.
Auto Crashes Into Fence
A bullet from one of the detectives'
revolvers smashed the windshield on !
the pursued car. Albero, who was at
the wheel, said splinters of glass flow j
into his eyes and he lost control. The ;
car clashed through an iron railing;
and was impaled. The radiator plunged !
through a window into a basement
room, overturning a Christmas tree. ?
Albero shoutrd to Detective Classncr
to quit shooting, explaining he was un- I
able to put up his hands. They were ]
pinned to the wheel by the wreckage. !
The detectives say they were passing j
650 West End Avenue when they saw |
Durano and Albefo detach a spare tire j
from the rear of a limousine automo- j
bile owned by William Jacquett, of 100 i
Wright Street, Englewood, N. J., who ;
was visiting that address. When called '
on to halt the man tired a shot and j
speeded up in an elTort to escape. The !
detectives pursued in an open car stand- j
ing near the curb, firing as they went. |
The shooting caused excitement in a
neighborhood of exclusive apartment
building . Women in evening gowns ?
and men in dinner clothes rushed to j
the street.
Both Roll Downbtairs
When the car crashed Durano aban- i
doned it and ran for a stairway. He
was trippetl as he passed Detective !
Morrison, but recovered his balance I
and entered a hallway, making for!
the roof.
Morrison, following in tho dark, ran j
into Durano. who was crouching in a
dark corner of the hallway. Durano is ,
said to have told the detective he had
"made his last pinch." In the strug-'
gle that ensued both men rolled down
a short flight of stairs. When Morri?
son emerged with his prisoner slung j
across his back, fireman fashion, he ?
was cheered by the crowd.

Gilmore Insists Recent Cut in
Salary of Chorus Caused
Breach With the Actors
Florenz Ziegfeld, producer of the
"Follies" which bear his name, last
night confirmed a report, telegraphed
curlier in the day from Chicago, that]
iie is preparing 10 abandon theatrical ?
production in 1924, at which time his
contract with the Actors' Equity As- I
sociation expires. Mr. Zicgfeld said ?
the contract, which was made after a !
settlement of difficulties between actors i
and producers a year ago, would notj
be renewed, nor will any future nego- j
tiations be entered into between him
and the organization.
It is said the climax in the relations j
bet wen Mr. Ziegfeld and the actors'j
organization came last .week in Chicago, ;
when the Equity representative notified
Manager E. Rosenb?um that t'"e thea- ?
ter in which the "Ziegfeld Follies" was
abcut to open an eigh:-v.,.v-ks' engage?
ment would be closed unless Elizabeth
Chatterton, one of the former show
girls who had been released, was; re?
instated at once.
Manager Agreed to Contract
Roscnbaum telegraphed Mr. Zicgfeld
that he had been forced to sign the
contract on those terms rather than !
close down the show.
Mr. Ziegfeld said yesterday AI i ss
Chatterton had been dismissed because
he had considered her no longer avail?
able for the show. She had been with
him live years.
Mr. Zicgfeld added:
"If George Cohan can't make a go
of it because of the Equity. I'm sure
I can't and I do not intend to try.
Cohan quit producing and I'm going to
do the same. What annoys me is thai
if the Equity people had wanted to
play fair they need not have gone to
Chicago to start things. They knew
I '?vas in New York, for I was talking
to their secretary on the telephone
yesterday."
Mr. Zicgfeld said he would finish out
the contracts with all his easts and
would confine his future efforts to
London.

Frank Gilmore. executive secretary
of the Actors' Equity Association, dis?
cussing Mr. Ziegfelds statement last
?ight said the contracts between the
Equity and the Producing Managers'
Association called for eight perform?

arose over an extra performance given
on Thanksgiving Day in violation of
this contract. Mr. Gilmore added:
"When Mr. Ziegfeld was spoken to
about this he replied that compensa?
tion had been arranged on the basis
of a bonus to tee chorus girls in the
show. This was denied by the rjirls,
who said none et them had heard any?

WASHINGTON Dec? 26.- Eugene V. j
Heb:-, i..e times candidate for the
Presidency, arrived in Washington to?
day a free man, after serving two and
n half years of bis ten-year term in
Atlanta . cjernl prison for obstructing
America's war efforts, and after calling
upon President Harding and Attorney
Pinera! Daughcrty announced that he
would devote his time henceforth to
the freeing of all prisoners.
Mr. Debs said he had talked over his
principles thoroughly with both Mr.
Harding and Mr. Daughcrty and that.
they had assured him that his release
was unconditional and did not impose
on him any obligation to depart from
his ideals,
"At the While House," he said, "I
was received very cordially by Presi?
dent Harding, with whom I exchanged
opinions and points e>f view so that he
might perfectly understand my atti?
tude in reference to my future activi?
ties. During the visit I took occasion
to express my appreciation of the con?
sideration.
"At both tho offices of'thc Attorney
< .1 and the President 1 was as-,
sured that my release was uncondi?
tional and that, of course, I would not
be expected to depart crom my prin?
ciples; convictions and ideals.'"
His Citizenship "Non Eht"
"I was courteously received by the ;
Attorney General," lie continued, "and !
expressed to him my interest, in and ;
my devotion to my follow prisoners;
who were no more guilty than I and i
who still remain in prison."
By fellow prisoners, lie explained, he j
meant both "political offenders and i
prisoners in general."
Replying to a question as to his |
citizenship statu,. Mr. Debs declared
his citizenship was "non est." Ho
said he was now not a citizen of the ;
United State.-, as the commutation does ?
not restore the right-- of citizenship,
but. a citizen of the world.
"Where my star was," he exclaimed, ?
"behold my sun. I! is not strange that ;
a man should lo.-^- his citizenship in aj
system where he is branded us a felon. '?
There is an admirable consistency!
about that. But a convict for his
principles is always a citizen in good ,
standing. He is a citizen by his own
inherent. God-given integrity. Tho j
only man who loses his citizenship is I
the man who renounces his principles i
and abdicates his manhood."
W?I Define Stand Later
Asked about his future activities, Mr.
Debs declared he would have to adjust j
himself be/ore making definite plans'
and that he "would take 1 is stand i
later."
At Atlanta, he continued, he was
completely out of touch with develop- !
ments in the Socialist world, because ;
he was cut off by tho government from j
all correspondence with it. All so- ?
called liberal papers end magazines, he j
asserted, were acnied bun up until
three wecki beforehis release, although
he was' permitted the "orthodox, capi?
talistic i!-'wspi pers." Evi n clipping of
local happenings in his home town sent
him by his wife, he declared, were taken
from his letters, torn into bits and ?
thrown into the trash by the prison |
authorities.
Air. Debs expressed himself feelingly j
of his fellow prisoners at Atlanta. Ho
was one of them, he said, and would
acci pt no favors nor privileges not ac- j
corded the others, and when he left,
he deeiaied. he left "-',300 prisoners
in tears and cheers."
His commutation. Debs declared, was
"an obligation" to the freedom of
"every political prisoner," the Socialist
leader describing himself as the "arch
enemy of prisons."
Mr. Debs said it was his intention to i
leave Washington for his home in :
Terre Haute as soon as possible. He ?
had some personal engagements here, i
he said, which included a visit, from ;
Samuel Gompers, president of the j
American Federation of Labor.
The Socialist leader was accom- !
panted to Washington by his brother.;

Rail Heads Assert Reduc?
tions Necessary to Give|
Public Better Service !
Special Dispatch lo The Tribune
CHICAGO, Dec. 2C>.Railroad man-j
agers are determined to get out from I
under the staggering load put upon ;
them while the war administration!
had charge of the properties and prac
tically put in two or three men at
highly increased wages to do the work
one man formerly had done satisfactor ?
ily. The result of three men stumbling
over one man's work resulted in gen- !
eral waste and ?ncompetency, and the
roads feel they must get back to some?
thing like normal business conditions
or go bankrupt.
Notice was given to-day that the rail?
roads will go before the United States
Railroad Labor Board early in January
and ask reductions in wages and
changes in working conditions that, if
granted, will lop off approximately
$200,000,000 and vastly improve the
service not alone in the operating
branches, but in the shops and main?
tenance of way forces.
Railroad managers feel certain the;
public is with them in their efforts to '
get wages down to a basis that com- j
pare? with the earnings of men in :
other industries and will give the roads
a chance to make necessary repairs and
provide new equipment. When the.
lines were handed back to tho owners
by the government they were in piti- ?
able condition as to right of way and
equipment, to say nothing of the mil- :
lions added in wages and the thousands
o? unnecessary employees.
The proposed new cut in the pay
rolls ranges from 10 per cent in the
Train service division to 25 and o0 pet'1
cent for common labor. Changes in I
the working rules in the shop- ar.u ;
emergency repairs on tho road nl30 j
will effect a tremendous saving.
The roads expect, determined opposi
tion from the rail unions, but they !
feel the public is with them.
It is expected that when the rail- j
roads file applications for further j
wage reductions the unions, especially j
the shop crafts, will ask a readjust- i
ment of pay upward to compensate for !
the $100,000,000 or more lopped off the j
annual payrolls by revised working j
conditions.
Many roads already have met with !
the union committees regarding the j
proposed 10 per ?tent cut for the men '
and as high as 110 per cent decrease in j
other trades. No agreements have been |
reported and under the transportation
act such controversies may be. taken i
before the board thirty days after the
parties have disagreed.
The Pennsylvania test case to de
termine how far the board's power ex?
tends in the matter of laying down
working rules is scheduled to come up
for a hear'.ng in the Federal court

Truck Butts Car Into Basement,
Tossing 22 Passengers in Heap
Twcnty-twq passengers on a Belt
; Line surface car just turning into East
?Broadway from Essex Street late last
I night were hurled from their seats and
several were injured slightly when the
' car was struck in the rear by a heavy
, motor truck driven by John Marcus, of
355 Grand Street.
i : b truck hit the car with such force
thai i; was thrown from the track and
I up-ended in the basement of 18fi East
Broadway, the office of "The Jewish
Da '??. News.'1 One young woman uho
clung to the ?eat when the ear began
tilting >vaa ha? ging high as it came to
?a step, afraid to let ?re her hold, but
compelled ultimately to drep feet first
into a struggling mass of humanity at
tho other end of the vehicle.
1'c.i htudenta of the Fron Pre?
paratory School, which has quarters on
i'.n upper Poor of the building, were
i entering at the time ot" the accident.
They aided in extricating passengers.
! four of whom wert: women. One woman
carried a child in uer arms and was
: uried beneath the human pile. Neither
a jther n r child suffered injury.
When Patrolman Shaplen, of I'm
'..'uhetb Street police station, reached
the scene Marcus had attached a chain
1 to th? after gear of the. streetcar and
was trying to haul it out of the base?
ment. Passengers were removed
tlirough side windows. Twenty print
i era from the newspaper office aided in
the rescue.
Two women passengers were in a
fainting condition when lifted out.
| Shaplen summoned a Bellevue Hos
j pital ambulance, but none of the in
i iured required hospital treatment. The
\ young woman who had been suspended
when the ear up-ended discovered after
I reaching safety that lier chain meshbag
! containing ?$50 wa- missing, It was
j found hanging ?rom a window catch
! near the eeat ?he had lately occupied.
Motorman Thomas Patterson, who
I lives at '?'2 Mangan Street, told Shaplen
! ho was just making the turn fron:
i Essex Street into East Broadway when
; the truck crabbed into him. The car
was lifted from the tracks and Hung
; sidewise across the walk. It teetered
I a moment on the edge of the basement,
! then plunged over and stood on its
, nose. Patterson was pinned in his
: seat and passengers from the full
i length of the car hurled down on him.
Marcus told the police ho thought
: the car would stop before turning into

PARIS, Dec. 26.?-All hope of France I
acceding to Chairman Hughes's appeal I
for a compromise on the submarine j
question seemed very remote to-day j
and it was difficult to find any tendency |
toward yielding in either political or
technical terms. There arc many rea- I
sons for believing that the sentiment
found in the Ministry of Marine,
which is summed up in the belief
that a minimum of 90,000 tons of sub?
marines is vita! for France, will pre- I
vail at to-morrow's Cabinet meeting !
and that there can be no compromise
on this. The decision of the govern?
ment will be communicated to Wash?
ington immediately.
Among the officials consulted here
to-day was M. Guisthau. Minister of
Marine, who may be termed tlmost an
irreconcilable on the question of the
French demands. The Tribune cor- j
respondent interviewed Premier Briand
in London a few days ago and he also
disclosed that Albert Sarraut and Ad?
miral De Bon, French delegates at
Washington, had received final instruc?
tions from Europe to negotiate broadly
with Washington with France's vital ?
need of light war craft m the fore- j
front. j
Must Hold African Line
To Briand's explanation that France !
considers ?i Rus30-German navai com- i
bination as still an unknown quantity. I
as well as viewing the unstabilized i
situation in the Mediterranean with ?
uneasiness, may now be added the view |
of naval officials that France must as- ?
sure constant communication with her i
African colonies, which, in the event j
of an emergency, can form a veritable i
reservoir of troops not only so far as j
.Morocco and Algeria are concerned, but I
even Senegal, the Congo and Mada- t
gasear.
Thus the submarines at Washington
link up with the ?ame perturbation ex?
pressed in Briand's speech of Novem?
ber 21 in which he declared that France
must be sure of her military safety.
Developments in the French Senate
to-day, interspersed in a discussion of
the budget, bring out the French ideas
on the submarine issue in the clearest
relief. The Senate Naval Committee
unanimously adopted a resolution, of?
fered by Senator Lemary, demanding
that the government increase the coun?
try's submarine tonnage and declaring
that "Our naval weakness, the state
of our finances and our love for peace
must all receive common consideration
in our policy of defense along with
keeping free the communications with
our coionial empire.*'
"The submarine," Senator Ternary
added, "is the best weapon for such a
policy, because it is solely a defensive
weapon. It is. a threat against none,
but is desired only to protect the in?
dependence of our colonies. We can-j
not imagine that the revindication of
France could be objected to or limited, j
It is a question of legitimate defense." .
Navy for Offense Renounced
The Senate also cheered M. Kergue- '
sec, a Breton Senator, when he rose j
to oratorical heights, saying: "They ?
must know in Washington the deep
emotion produced in France bv the |
declarations of the Washington con- '
ference. We renounce every thought j
of an offensive navy, but must feel I
assured of our defenses. We mu3t be !
assured that we. can defend ourselves ;
without the help of any foreign coun-|
try, and the submarine gives us that j
security."
From the political point of view, the ?
sentiment developing here .since Secre?
tary Hughes made his compromise pro?
posal confirms the political position of
? remicr Briand, who, students of poli- ?
tics are convinced, would not be able ]
to maintain his Cabinet even in the
face of the coming Supreme Council;
meeting at Cannes if he consented to I
any radical concession in the matter !
of (submarines. Public opinion, re?
flected in Parliament and the press., ?3
against this.
PARIS, Dec. 26 (By The Associated !
Press),-Serious consideration is be- ?
ing given in French official circles to ]
a proposal that the whole submarine '
problem be taken up at another meet- I
ing of the powers at some later date.

Meeting at Paris To-day
to Decide Whether De?
mand for 90,000 Ton*
Is Last Word of Nation
Washington Hopes
For a Concession
Refusal Would Minimize
Saving to Taxpayers
as Result of Holiday
By Carter Field
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.?The
next moves at the Armament Limi?
tation Conference hinge on th?
stand of the French Cabinet at its
meeting to-morrow on the question
of submarine tonnage and on new
instructions expected from Tokio
by the Japanese delegation relative
to Shantung.
The French Cabinet to-morrow
will decide on the minimum amount
of Pubmarine tonnage France can
accept. Pending this decision tho
meeting of the armament commit?
tee, which was scheduled for to-mor?
row, has been put over until
Wednesday. Last Saturday, when
the committee adjourned to give the
French delegation time to obtain in?
structions from Paria, it was
thought this word could be had in
ample time for anyt?ier meeting to?
morrow.
Change of Tone Roped For
There is ke*n interest her* in th*
fact that the question i.? regarded ai of
sufficient consequence in Paris for a
Cabinet meeting to be called to discuss
it. There Is strong hope that the
French realize the isolated position
into which JLb?y have been fercintr
themselves and that the rone of the
dispatches which have been coming
from Paris for t--vo day??to th?-- effect
that the minimum of submarine ton?
nage which France will accept is i>0,000
?will be changed.
If France finally insists upon 90,000
tons, which all of her people here, with
the utmost emphasis and the most posi?
tive gestures, demand, a novel situation
will be brought about. No one believes
that such an issue would bo permitted
for a moment to wreck the conference.
The general opinion is that if Franeo
insists until the last ditch upon thi.-?
submarine, program, half as large again
as the two greatest naval powers in tho
world--Britain and the United State*?
have signified their willingness to ac?
cept, eventually its wishes will Ivs
net, on the broad general principle
?.hat half a loaf is better than no brdsd
?md it is better tc have a partial agree?
ment on naval armaracn' limitative
than none at all.
Taxpayers Chief Sufferers
Even if the French should proceed
to build 90,000 tons of submarine* the
situation presented would not ?-crioush
disturb the I'niU-d ttate5 or Japan
from a military standpoint. The only
distress would be because France, hav?
ing blocked any attempt to reach ten
international agreement which would
permit reduction of the burrien on her
own taxpayers and those of other coun?
tries for the maintenance of armict,
was now increasing the burden so fa
a-> small naval craft an- concerned.
That, of course, would carry with it
the very opposite effect of the "will
to peace," which M. Briand discussed
here so eloquently.
For England would fe< i ?ailed upo
at once to provide?as soon as Franc?
began the construction of these sub?
marines--? much larger fleet of sub?
marine chasers, destroyers and other
craft found effective in the destruction
of these "vipers of the sea" during the
World War. Some or* the British feel
keenly that in building a large sub?
marine fleet the French are aiming at
'hem and them alone, and the British
have expressed th? view frankly here
Since the first adyt of the confer?
ence President Harding has hoped ar?
rangement:, would be made before the
present conference adjourned so thai
such meetings could be held annually,
if this should be suitable.
Campaign Idea Vitalized
These annual meetings, :n the Presi
dent'.? mind, would constitute th? as
sociation of nations for which he hat
been hoping and about which he talk.?'
in his campaign soeeches last year.
It is toward these future meeting
that the Briti ?h have been maldni
their crusade for the abolition of tbi
>ubmarine, as thev realize p?rfectl;
they will not be able to bring it abou
at the present conference.
All prospecta ?or ubure meetings o
the conference, h owe vet, will be ir.
fluenced a great dea! naturally by th
incidents occurring from now until th
close of the present one. This appli?
not only to the subjects which will b
