Washington, Feb. 7 On the eve of
the resumption of the treaty con
troversy In the open. Senate .President
Wilson again has made known to tho
Senate Democrats his determined op
position to any reservation which, will
impair the obligation of the United
States to protect, the territorial In
tegrity and political Independence of
the members of the League of Nations.
The Democratic Senators met to-day
and listened to the reading of a letter
addressed by tho President to Sena
tor Hitchcock (Neb.), acting Demo
cratic leader, on January' 6, in which
he indicated clearly that his attitude
toward the Lodge reservations Is the
same as It was last November, when
the various resolutions of ratification
ere defeated.

In his letter to Senator Hitchcock the
President says:

no obligation under such an article

tions with which wo expect Jo' be

the text of the Hitchcock Interpretative

naval and military forces is merely

SIX WATCHMEN THERE
Strong Boxes Opened With
Pinch Bar; No Clue Left
in leisurely Jobs.
ONE COMBINATION FOUND
Robbers Busy While Police
Are Trying to Explain' Other
Daring Jobs.
Not at all satisfied with tho returns
of their safe opening activities in tho
offices of the Pittsburg Steel Company
tn tho Kqultablo Building on. Wednes
day night and in the offices of James
R. Deerlng, 135 Broadway, a few hours
later, burglars turned their attention
to 61 Broadway some tlmo Thursday
night or probably early Friday morn
ing.
And while the detectives' from Old Slip
police station were assuring Commis
sioner Enrlght that the Pittsburg Steel
Company and the Deerlng jobs were
nothing short of miracles and that law
and order were the financial district's
chief characteristics, tho same burglar
cr burglars, utilizing the same nonchal
ant methods, pried open two safes In the
offices of the' International Agricultural
Corporattc on tho thirtieth floor of 61
Broadway and then ran downstairs to
the twenty-ninth floor, where they
opened one of the United Gas and Elec
tric Corporation's sate and got away
with $17,100 In cash and securities.
After each job they politely shut the,
sates and left tho omces in perrect
order.
From the International Agricultural
Corporation the Intruders obtained $500
worth of stamps, $3,000 In Liberty
bonds, $6,000 worth of the common stock
In the corporation and' $5,000 In pre
ferred tock. Thev obtained this booty
by the simple expedient of prying off
the 'iron overlapping strips that cover
the Junction of the two 'outside doors of
the two safes, then lamming a cola
chisel Into the tumblers ot the locks,
rendering them Impotent, and Anally
prying tho doors apart with a pinch bar!
But they resorted to no such crass
methods downstairs In the offices of the
United Oas and Electric Corporation.
Obviously they were In ho hurry, neither
did they consider likely the prospect of
being Interrupted. They pried open
desks and Inspected tho contents until
they came across a book wherein a
series of safe and vault .combinations
had been; jotted down.
The rest was easy. They tried various
combinations upon the most Imposing
safe In sight and Anally the big Iron box
surrendered. The $17,100 they made off
with consisted of $1,000 tn cash. $1,100
In Liberty Bonds and $15,000 worth of
other securities.
Neither the Deerlng burglary nor the
looting of the International Agricul
tural Corporation was reported directly
to the police, but In both cases the
losses were made known to the news-
fected and by reporters to the police.
The United Oas and Electrlo affair was
reported to the Old Slip detectives.
As a result of these, four workmanlike
burglaries In the 'heart of that district
that the police have Insisted Impregnable
there was much panic In Police Head
quarters. The Police Commissioner de
clined to be seen. The Loft and Safe
Squad, commanded by Sergeant Oegan,
was assigned to the job, but have made
no progress.
The police agree that either one man
or one gang Is doing the burglaries.
They point tothe similarity of all the
Jobo with the exception of that In the
cfllc'es of tho United Gas and Electric
Corporation, In support of their theory.
The cracksmen, while utilizing the
simplest ,of methods, are experts and
veterans, they contend, because they
have always thrust their pinch bar Into
the most vulnerable spot In the locks.
In th oftlce of the superintendent of
61 Broadway the Adams Express Com
pany Building It was said that there Is
but one night entrance to the building,
that every one entering after hours Is
forced to Identify himself and" sign a
book and that six men are employed t-
keep watch over the 1,000' offices.
James It Deerlng declared yesterday
that his losses, at flrst reported to be
$90,000. have mounted to $95,000.

Army Flame Throwero
to Battle Snow Here
Special Vcipatch to TBS SCN and. Nstr
York Iltuw.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. The
use of army flame throwers
to thaw out New York's icebound
streets was suggested to-day by
the War Department, which do-,
tailed one. officer and a detach
ment of men from the Chemical
Warfare Service at Edgewood,
Md., to report to the New York
recruiting officer for that pur
pose.
Technically the men are as
signed to recruiting duty, but
they will bo equipped withflamo
throwers, which, it is believed,
will be effective in melting 'the
ice which impedes trafflic in the
streets.
Ably abetted by a benign sun New
Tork freed itself yesterday of some of
tho smothering snow mantle and In
duced better circulation through trans
portation and transit arteries. A
vastly Increased though still Inade
quate army of shovellers attacked the
chief centres of congestion to facilitate
movement ot food and fuel. But nor
mality is a good many days hence.
MayorHylan'fl proclamation brought
several' thousand volunteers, wt.i 'were
armed with snow fighting implements.
And added to the forces the Street
Cleaning Department could muster
and save from the ranks of the dis
satisfied. All told some 10,000 men
were actually plying shovels and picks
or .driving trucks and carts to tho
waterfront or other dumping places.
How many deserted at the beck and
call of labor agitators was a matter
of guesswork, but Arnold B. Mac
Stay, Street Cloanlng Commissioner,
declared a "Snow Shovellers' Union"
had apparently sprung up over night.
He and Mayor Hylan, the latter first,
called upon Police Commissioner Enrjght
to Invoke such laws as exist In an at
tempt to check the baneful effects of
strike propaganda spread by the agita
tors. The Mayor wrote to Commissioner
Enrlght that they "should be dealt with
summarily" and asked the Commission
er's Immediate attention." Mr. Mac-
Stay sought more practical uses ot the
police and had a squad or nny assigned
to the waterfront streets where the snow
shovellers were concentrated.
Many Volunteers' Shovel To-day.
Far more human and mechanical fa
cilities wero at the disposal of the city
all day yesterday and will be to-day,
when many citizens have offered to use
their Sunday hours In exercising a
shovel. Harry Hart, head of the Snow
Removal Bureau, estimated last night
that enough had been added to the city's
regular street sweeping force to make a
total of 10,000 men and that with con
tractors' trucks there were some 900
carrying the snow to thirty-one piers
and other dumping places. Incidentally,
Mr. Hart, who missed sleep for forty
eieht hours. Agured the snowfall would
cost the city about $5,000,000 for ex
penses of removal.
Subway and elevated service was vir
tually restored to normal, but' the sur
face cars functioned feebly, It at all.
The Lexington avenue line operated oe
tween Fifty-ninth and Ninety-ninth
streets and tha company put' men to
work on, the rest of the route. Then
there was some intermittent service on
the 125th street crosotown, the Third
avenue, Amsterdam avenue and Fifty
ninth and Grand street tines, on the last
two of which storage battery cars were
run. Job B. Hedges, receiver of. the New
York Railways system, announced tnat
crosstown lines should be ready to or

Mayor Hylan was so disturbed necaub.
the street cars were still Idling on their
tracks that he wrote another letter" to
WllUam P. Burr, Corporation Counsel,
suggesting that Mr. Burr apply to Fed
eral Judge Mayer to see If Mr. Hedges
could not be forced to move the cars.
The Mayor did not mention how that was
to be accomplished, but ne said or Mr.
Hedges: "He has deliberately laid down
on :the job."
In Brooklyn, Yonkera and Westches

Washinoton, Feb. 7. President
Wilson's long silence about the coming
Presidential campaign Is getting woe
fully on the nerves of the Admlnlstra
tlon aspirants who want to get the
nomination at Son Francisco. Is Mr.
Wilson coins to step out of the way In
time to permit a froo for all contest?
Or Is he going 'to let the sltuatlonsdrlft
until the convention meets and then
step In nnd name, the candidate? What
Is his programme anyhow?
Theso are the questions still being
asked by the 'half doxen or more Dem
ocratlc possibilities, all of whom have
their cars to tho ground and their
eyes on (tho White House anxious to
learn of any sign of Mr. Wilson's In

It Is now about two weeks before the
filing of declarations for the South Da
kota primary election at which delegates
will be selected for San Francisco. Un
der this preferential system candidates
for the Presidency must file declarations
that they are candidates on or before
February 23. Up to date only one possi
ble candidate has filed, James W. Ge
rard, formerly .American Ambassador to
Berlin. The prospects are,however, that
before the time expires a declaration will
be filed by Governor Jamea. M. Cox, of
Ohio.

heralded far and wide as an Indication
of how the wind is blowing. The votes
wilt be of Importance, too. of course, but
the advertising effect to the political
mind Is of the greatest consideration.
UDon the heels of the closing of the

Washington. Feb. 7. The American
Federation of Labor will announce to
morrow the political programme and
creed that every organisation affiliated
with the federation, will be asked to
follow In 'the coming political campaign.
It was clearly indicated to-day that so
far as labor is concerned there will be
no third party.
There Is ample evidence that President
Gompers still has the upper hand and a
thorough control of affairs within the
Federation. While he has organized It
along political lines for many years, and
labor has gone Into- every campaign to
"elect lte friends and defeat Its ene
mies." he' has not taken with favor to
the various radical elements that have
sought control, a. full sponsorship of
the Plumb, plan for the railroads and a
farmer and Socialist alliance.
Labor's coming political campaign will
be along the old lines. It waa deter
mined at a long conclave of leaders that
labor will go again to the old parties and
demand In the platforms Its "rights ot
man" programme that will keep labor
free-.to achieve lu alms In the better
ment of. the working classes In every
community.
The old parties will be asked to sub
scribe to and further labor's bill of
rights as drawn at the meeting In Wash
ington a month ago of representatives
of every international and affiliated or
ganisation. Government ownership of the railroads
and utilities will, It is predicted, be put
forward, but not In the name of the
Plumb plan or any other so-called ad
vanced movement.

LANDED AT THE BATTERY
Capt. Seay and Several Passen
gers Bruised During Storm,'
but None Seriously Hurt.
To the hardy "mariners of the New
York Pollco Department belongs the
credit for having rescued yesterday
morning the passengers and crew or
the stranded Old Dominion liner Prin
cess Anne as she lay on the treacher
ous Rockaway Shoals buffeted by mid
winter storm waves and lnshtd by Icy
spray. Tho, Coast Guard co-operated
gallantly, but it was tho municipal
police boat Patrol, superbly aided by
the police power launch No. 6 of Ca
narsle, a forty-foot craft fitted with a(
hunting cabin, that succeeded where
others had failed. '
Launch No. 6 mado four successslvo
trips between the stranded ship and
tho Patrol, which lay about five hun
dred yards from the Princess Anne
while tho work of rescue was under1
way. Without a mishap, though tho
little craft was tossed about llko a
chip, she transferred, the thirty-two
passengers of tho Old Dominion liner
and twenty-eight members of her
crew. The rest of the Princess Anne's
full complement, Including her first
officer! remained on board to co-operate
with the Me'rrltt-Chapman wreck
ing craft which are at work to salvage
the vessel.
It was one more splendid chapter
added to the many that have crowned
the efforts of hearts of oak and skilled
seamanship in the tight against a hun
gry sea and a shoal we fit by frigid
wind and wave. That riot a life was
lost In the hazardous operation was
due to the cob efficiency and daring of
the men who manned tho little police
launch. She was under the immediate
command of Police Lieut. Henry Do
bcrt, while Patrolman William Mathew
was the pilot and Patrolman Dines the
engineer.
Id a Boisterous Sea.
Captain James Hallock was In com
mand of the police steamer Patrol, which
left her berth at Pier A, the Battery,
long before daylight and had artived at
about eight off the spot where the im
perilled ship was wallowing In the bil
lows and .sand of . the bar, Dobert's shal
low draft launch was Boon wallowing
alongside. For a time the' sea was too
high to permit even an effort to run
under the lea of the stranded steamship,
which lay listed over to starboard at an
angle of thirty-five degrees, her slippery
a ecus aslant like the roof of a Swiss
walet From the 'wheelhouse of the
Patrol Captain Hallock finally swept his
weather eye across the Intervening tur
moil ot angry water. It bolsterousnsss
was visibly abating.
Seising a megaphone, he bellowed to
Lieutenant Dobert, who was clinging to
the launch cabin trunk as his craft
bobbed from crest to trough like a
bounding ball:
"Do you think you can make it,
Harryf
"Nothing like trying, Captain, cams
back Dobert's voice.
Under his orders Mathew, the pilot,
swung the launch head on Into ths
combers. Coming up Into the northwest
wind she took a waterfall of salt spray
over her bows. Up and down she dipped
upon her course, sometimes' almost dis
appearing from the gaze of .the anxious
watchers. When two hundred yards .
from the Princess Anne Mathew veereu
his course to port! circled the stern ot
the stranded ship' and came up neatly
under her lea.
Willing hands and strong arms did
the rest Sometimes the weary passen
gers had to make a flying .leap for the
gunwale of ths tossing launch. But the
work of these New York harbor cops
was faultless.
Soon the launch reappeared from
around the stern of the liner. Flucktly
she churned her way back alongside the
Patrol. "Got any passengersr shouted
Captain Hallock before the launch bovw
to.
Women First Rescued.
"You bet we have cried Mathew, as
he deftly spun the wheel. "They're down
in the cabin."
First to be transferred to the deck of
the Patrol, with the aid of a policeman's
helping hand over the rail, came Mrs.
David Paaternao of 13S3 Fifth avenue.
She and her husband had gone to Old
Point Comfort to celebrate the second
anniversary of their marriage. She waa
pale, but self-possessed as she com
mented, "This makes a fitting climax to
the celebration." Her husband, wno was
suffering from what appeared to be In
fluenza, followed her closely. On tho
trln tin the harbor he had been Isolated'
by order of Dr. Edward L. Galnsburgh,
medical director1 or.tne jtanroaa jiamm
lstration, who had gone aboard the
Patrol on her mission of rescue In the
hope that he might be of service.
Miss Marian Kaese of 172 Manhattan
street. The Bronx, was the next to come
aboard. "I'll certainly be glad to 'get
back home agatn," she said. Dobert
with his little power launch liad ob-aa-i-a,i
ih. nn old tradition of the Sea.
Women were the first to come aboard
the rescuing craft.
