Albant, March 22. Tha Assembly by unanimous vote to-night summoned William H. Anderson, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, to appear before the Judiciary Committee of that body to affirm or deny charges that he has "challenged the Integrity and In sulted the honor" of members of the House. That action was taken after the Assembly had voted down, 71 to fiS, a motion to refer to the Judicial y Committee a resolution calling" Ander son before the bar In the chamber to answer for his attacks on the ex-service men. Having- beaten the motion to refer, those leading the fight against Anderson suddenly switched, accepted a compromise offered by Simon Adler, majority leader, and directed the Antl Ealoon League head to appear with counsel before the committee. Having shown Its attitude toward Anderson, the majority in the Assem bly evidently was satisfied to leave the question of now to treat him In the hands of Its Judiciary Committee rather than send the sergeant at arms to lead him to the bar. Anderson was In the Capitol talking defiantly and challenging the Assembly "to come after" him. Me said he made a special trip to Albany to-night to be close at hand if any one wanted to get him. CaYllller OlTera Besolattoa. Assemblyman CuvWIer offered the resolution citing Anderson's several statements and letters Issued recently amlllng the veteran Assemblymen In particular, and all Assemblymen In general, and directing he be brought Wore the bar at once. Mr. Adler was on his feet quickly to move that the resolution be referred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Cuvllller asked to be heard on a question of personal privi lege and demanded the Assembly call Anderson to account for his statements. Mr. Adler" motion to refer was loot on a slow roll call. Party lines again were smashed. Theodore Iloosevelt was one ef the score of Tie publicans who voted against Mr. Adler's motion. The original resolution was then be fore the House. Mr. Cuvllller bitterly assailed Anderson, and said the time had come for the Legislature to assert Its dignity and punish the man who had so often "attacked its honesty." When he assails the patriotism of the service men Anderson shows himself a moral coward, the Assemblyman said. Citing the Assembly's action taken Ih the case of James Garrison, a publicity agent In the Sulxer trial, who charged the Assembly with dishonesty and who was punished for contempt, Cuvllller called on his associates to repudiate the tttacks on the soldier law makers.

The aurora borealls took charge In the skies last nlgh't and from 7:10 on the beribboned curtain of greenish yel low, with Its rose splotches hung across the northern heavens In all Its gloried mystery. The borealls, or northern lights If you choose, was her alded by the Unusually largo spots dis cernible upon the sun. To be sure.' only the forewarned photographers and the observatory scientists were aware of their presence, but the telegraph and telephone using public knew by the par tial paralysis of the wires that there were spots upon the sun and that the aurora was likely to appear. The Western Uplop and the Postal Telegraph lines went wrong early In the day and communication with, the United States Weather Bureau ellelted the In formation that the electrical discharges In the high vanes ot the earth's upper atmosphere usually preceding the ap pearanee of the aurora had taken over control of such things as telegraph and telephone wires and that there wasnoth Ing to do but to wait until there was some change In the magnetic Interrela tions between the earth and the sun. As the aurora continued late Into the evening 'hundreds of persons called up newspaper offices to Inquire the natura of the phenomena. Some of these calls came from far out on Long Island, where the effects were quite plain against the darkened skies. The chief-operator at the central cable office of the Western Union Telegraph Company In the Stock Exchange Build ing said that the trouble was almost con tinuous. He explained that as the waves of the aurora mirged through the at mosphere wires were either overcharged or went practically dead. This was due to the effect of positive and negative cur rents upon the lines. Many messages Were delayed because of this difficulty.

Bptrta to Tna Scn aud Ntir Tonic nxait.t. Washington. March 22. The United States has forwarded to the allied Governments Its views on the Turkish situation and in so doing has taken Issue with several points which were tentatively agreed on In the negotia tions bf the Council of Ministers In London last month. Generally tho position of the United States falls under the following groups; Removal of the Turks from Europe, creation of an International commission for the Dardanelles with a place left vacant for Russia when a Government recotrnlted by the AJHei is ftet up, liberal territorial treatment fot- Arrhenla, inctudlng' an outlet to lhe sea. In standing for the removal of the Turk from Europe this Government takes a position contrary to that of Great Britain and some shades Of French opinion which fear that such a step would bring about a Moslem Up rising. The position on the Dardanelles finds this government ln accord with the Allies, who realise that Russia cannot longer be deprived of a free outlet to the Mediterranean without provoxing future wars. 'The United States Is willing to grant to Armenia all of the territory that can be held by her and an outlet on the Black Be. This Government oppose, however, placing Clllcla within the boun darles ot Armenia, as It Is In no sense Armenian and could not be controlled by a weak government. Despite the fact that this Government would clear Europe of the Turk, a warn ing Is' contained In the communication to the Allies that this Government feels that no Government should b given paramount Interest In the development ot any section of Turkey Just because It was a belligerent against the Otto man Empire. This Is not taken to'mean that the United States will onoose the proposed protectorate of Great Britain over Palestine and Mesopotamia, but is said to be directed at some 'aspirations heldlby Italy.
