radius of oiic-ctehth of u mile.
This expected action Is prompted by
the rarnmiut; ami sinking of the Old
Dominion liner Monroe by tho Mer

which occurred on tho high sea off tho
Virginia Capes.
The report of Federal Inspector Tap

In Washington. Further action may be
taken to-day.

MARTYRS' MONUMENT

When John Malone. foreman of the
Fark Department, In charge of Fort Cireene
Park, Hrooklyn, nwde. his .rounds jester
day morning ho found that ono of the
huge bronze eagles placed on balls around
the base of the prison ship martyrs' mon
ument was missing, Thero were four of
theso eagles and each weighed tOO to
1.0U0 pounds.
Malone notified the Clatson avenue po
lice station and Detectives McVea and
Donllu were sent out. On ono side of the
marblo platform on which the tall pillar
Is set they found the grass crushed. They
followed the trail of crushed gnuss to Hie
wall and on th" sidewalk Just outside they
found a trail of wet wheels.
They followed the wheel marks for a
blvck or two when the trail was lost. Two
or threo blocks further on they found an
abandoned wl'lbarrow. They b'gan a
search of all the Junk shops In th neigh
borhood and at noon they found the mUs-
Ing eagle.
It was hidden In the rear of tho Junk-
Hhnp of Bernard Sevltsky, 49 tit. Udwnrds
place. Hoth wings had b-cn broken off.
Tho detectives found a melting pot which
contained bronze. A fire was under the
melting pot. yevltfcky was locked up
charged with revtlvln stolen goods.
Ho said two men cams to him Satur
day morula and said they knew a man
who wanted to sell a hmnse raglo.
vltsky said ho would buy It and lent the
men his wheelbarrow. The men returned
at 11 o'clock Saturday night with the
bronze eagle. He paid them 12 1 for It.
They told hlin, he Hald, Uiat tiny li.nl
threv more eagles to sell which were Just
tlm Mime as the one lie bought 'and ho
agreed to buy them at the same price.
The prison ship martyrs' monument was
dedicated by President Taft In 1908. It
cost H35.0O0, of which tho llovernmeiit
gave 1100,000. Tho late Stanford Whltn
designed It. The main part is a shaft 12

DR. AKED AND DR. ELIOT AGREE.
Former York Pa lor ttueslluna
Illslnltr of Jesus.
San FnANCisco, Feb. 1. Tho Rev. Dr.
Charles r. Aked, formerly of New York,
astnnUhed his hearers In the First Con
gregational Church to-day when he an
nounced that he agreed with the rcent
statement by ex-l'rcsldent Kllot of Har
vaid denying the divinity of Christ. He
said In part:
"As to the creed of the miraculous birth
of Jcsuh, let us examine tha books of tho
New Testament. Mark did not speak of
the birth of Jesus ; John, who wrotn
mostly of tha death and ascension of
Christ, did not speak of Ilia birth; l.iiko
did &ay ho was of miraculous origin, but
It Is conceded Luke got his Information
from Matthew.
"The latest Investigation shows that
Matthow contradicted himself. In the
New Testament version of tho tJospel ac
cording to Matthew ho says that Christ
was of miraculous birth. In an older
manuscript whloh has been discovered
and authenticated as being the work of
the apostle Matthew says Joseph was tho
father of Josus.
"My conclusion upon this question Is
that tho faith of Mark, John, Jumes and
Paul Is good enough for me. It Is good
enough for any Christian. Theso men
say nothing about Jesus having come
Into the world In a miraculous way. I
prefer to stand with them. What do wo
mean then by saying He was divine? it
Is a question of quantity and not of
quality. There Is divinity In us, but so
much more lu Him that I prefer to cull
Him divine. I'erhups It would bo better
to speak of tho dlvlneuess or man and
the divinity ot enrtst. -

Masses of men and women that tilled

Doullng's burn so rapidly that when
Deputy Chief Smoliy Joe .Martin arrived
on the second alarm he ngreed with ro

lite crackled through a building so
quickly.
Doullng's is the name by which the

when Mike Dowliug sold the saloon busi

became the Lyric Hotel. It was. until tne

At tho rear of Pow hug's, with only a

And still there were no firemen In sight.
While Murray was standing at Ids high

that tho best lire lighters In tho world

Hut when tho llremen did get there y.io

TO EXEMPT LABOR IN
ANTI-TRUST BILLS
Union Leaders Threaten to
Flglit Democrats All Over
United States.
OPPOSITION BY WILSON
Democrats Seeking llcclcetion
Fear Retaliation if Tliey
Don't Line Up.
Washington, Feb. 1. Organized labor
has started a campaign that extends to
every district In the United Slates nnd is
designed to force the Democratic Congress
to Incorporate In one of tho pending anti
trust bills b provision exempting labor
organizations and farmers' associations
from prosecution under the Sherman anti
trust law.
An Issue has thus been raised which
Administration lenders acknowledge may
cauc much trouble In a political way.
Some leaders here say that If any one
of tho pending bills reaches the White
House with such an exemption tho Presi
dent will promptly veto tt.
Whllo Democratic leaders are disin
clined to discuss the subject one has said
that In a recent conference tho President
expressed disapproval of the exemption
j sought by labor. This was at a time
wnen in" Presidents untl-trust pro
gramme was being whipped Into shape by
leaders In Congress,
Although Samuel Compers, president of
I the American Fcdt ration of Labor, has re
peatedly demanded amendment to tha
anti-trust laws expressly providing that
they do not apply to labor, the fact was
either overlooked or Ignored by Chair
man Clayton and the other members ol
the Judiciary Committee, who frumul
the pending Administration anti-trust
measures. This Is accepted as indicative
of the tram- of mind of th committee
men wio will handle tho trust bills In tho
House If It does not reflect the attitude of
the Administration toward this particular
labor proposal.
Ilearlnaa on Hills fjolna" On.
Hearings are now In progress on the
Administration ant. trust bills and organ
ized labor Is preparing to move on the
cointnItt'.s. Labor leaders apparently be
lieve tlie Judiciary Committee will not in
iorirate an exemption provision In uny
of tho pending bills
This Is Indicated In letters received by
practically every member, of the Houto
and Senate, Theso letters, written by
labor men In close touch with locul po
litical conditions In the various districts,
call on Senators luid Representatives to
stand by labor In this "emergency." The
letters are by no means threatening, hut
they art- phrased !n such a way ss to
make it cies.i lli.it If the recipients t:ike
a stand against an exemption amendment
labor will r inflate.
In all the l-tters menders are called
uimii to mak- a reply outlining their views
on the quivtlon. This ha embarrassed
many Representatives, who are constantly
dodging l-sues raised by labor.
In the hist Conerts tho Democratic
1 tons" Incorporated mi iiiiiendiii'Ul in tin
sundry civil bill prohibiting the un of any
part ot a tertalu upproprl.ition for th.
enforcement of tlm untl-trust law In pros
ecution ngiliist labor unions or farmer's
organizations, l'resldi nt T.ift vetoed th
bill. The iiKsiiiuro was reenaoted und was
approved by President Wilson.
Conservative l-rmo:riit!c leaders insist
that the President's approval eif tho sun
dry olvil hill must not bo accepted us a
token that ho favois exemption of any
diss from prosecution under the law.
They lxilnt out that the exemption car
ried In the sundry civil bill vetoed by Mr.
Tuft and later approved by Mr. Wilson
applied only to on of the various funds
mado available for trust prosecutions by
the Department of Justice.
It was explained when the 1'revhleut
signed tho sundry civil bill with the pro
vision relating to labor that Ids aiqiruv.il
of tt did not commit him to the principle
that any exceptions should lie made In en
forcing the anti-trust laws. Ho said he
signed the bill Ucauto any further delay
In obtaining the money provided for the
Federal departments In the sundry civil
bill would work hardship.
Labor Leaders Pnsslrd.
Letters received from lubor leaders show
that they are In thei dark as to the uttltudo
of tho Administration toward this que.
Uon. They approved tho uction of tlm
President lu signing tho sundry civil bill
last year, but are now seeking Informa
tion as to why on exemption provision was
not incorporated lu ono or th" other anti
trust bills orfered In tho House Inst week.
Tha bills In question are recognized as
Administration bills prepared under di
rection of President Wilson and hts legal
advisers.
