Special Dispatch to Thu New Yokk Hebald. New York Hernld Bureau. ) WaMhingtoii, D. ('? April 2. j Leaders of the two major political parties do not expect any organized Independent opposition to their plans for fighting out the Congressional election on a straight goods partisan !>&sis. Predictions of a third party move ment are regarded by them as more interesting than important. While ad mitting that existing conditions in both the Republican and Democratic organizations are favorable for the development of a new political move ment the leaders do not believe that It will crystallize during the struggle between the respective parties for the control of Congress. The Republican leaders who have prospected th? ground assert that while the eruption of the Agricultural bloc will merely result in increasing the influence of that element in the ; party they will always be able to hold It in hand and at least prevent it from ? ventuating Into any new political en terprise like the Non-Partisan League or the o\(1 Populist movement. - The Democratic leaders while as serting they will be able to increase the representation of their party in bolh the Senate and House frankly admit that they do not expect to get fontrol of eitJ.er. Impartial observers in confirming this opinion declare that the chief cause for it is the lack of legitimate issues in either paFty. The tendency of both parties, they say. is to match each other as in the case of the Volstead law.and also the bonus raid. The nearest, approach to issues that the Democratic party proclaims are the Newberry case and the flght over the treaties negotiated at the conference on armament. Newberry Case <o Fl?nre. The Newberry rase Is certain to fig ure In a number of the tliirty-four contests for seats in the Senate; but it will not be an issue in the election of any of the 455 members of the now riousc of Representatives. The chief element of strength in the Republican party will be the record of the Harding Administration as distinguished fron the rccord of the Republican Congress. Most of the criticism that men and women citizens liurl toward Washing ton are directed squarely at Con gresses and not at the White House. The reason for this is that most of the Congressional undertakings are inter preted as solely reflecting the determi nation of Senators and Representa-! lives who will seek popular approval | in November 1o work for their own1 Individual interests and not for their respective parties. The Democratic party is admittedly at the zero stage of its career. It Is without decisive leadership, apparently has no dpflnlfe program, save that of ; obstruction, is practically bankrupt financially and its national orgnnlzi-' tlon is almost at the point of dlsinte- ! ^ration. Gov. Cox is the titular leader of it. His influence with the repre sentatives In Congress, however, is negligible. Former President Wilson, who main tains n vivid interest in party affairs, is looked up to for guidance by the greater number of second rate lenders of his party. Mr. Wilson is credited with holding the opinion that the time has not yet come to suggest a program that may win the control of the Gov ernment for his party two years hence.! Wilson's Atllliile Shown. Ho resisted the importunities of party leaders to take n hand in the fight over the international treaties in the Senate. His view seems to be that the Republican party should have the fullest latitude In meeting Its respon sibilities so that Its failure may result from Republican Incompetency and bad management. The former {'resi dent probat>iy realizes as well as any one else that the record of both parties In Congress to date has not developed a single issue that marks any essential point of difference between them. That there exists dissatisfaction among citizens generally with both oa.rtlos Is patent to the officials of the national, Senatorial and Congres sional committees. There are many reasons for this dissatisfaction, but the chirr rolling one relates to *^itJon. l'he Democratic party Is held responsible for leaving the Har ding Administration u legacy of op pressive taxation, which the Repub lican Congress, playing peanut and Contlnned on rage Five.

Copi/right,ll)S2, oj/ rue New Yuuk Meuai.u. VIENNA, April 2.?The Crimi nal Court in Budapest has decided to take criminal ac tion against Count Julius An Irassy, former Premier of Hun gary; Count Anton Sigray, former Governor of West Hungary, and other Carlist ringleaders In the attempt in October, 1921, to restore the late Charles of Hapsburg to tho throne. Charles, who traveled from Switzerland to Hungary in an air plane, was supported in his coup by Andrassy. Sigray and others of tho old Hungarian nobility.

V J DEATH OF CHARLES WILL CALM HUNGARY He Was Greatest Obstaelc to Consolidated Peaec in Europe. BLOW TO LEGITIMISTS Relaxation Seen in Nervous ness of the Country's Neighbors. Special Cable to Tim New Yo*k Hkiai.d. Copyright, ton, bv t"b New Yo*k Herald. Vienna. April 2.?Although the Aus trian press stresses the pathos of the downfall and death of former Emperor Charles on a lonely island it is realized the elimination of his person removes the greatest obstacle to a consolidated peace in central Europe and the calm ing down of the Hungarian situation. But the far reaching political con- j sequences cannot be fully gauged as^ yet. The present effect is certain to be the lifting of the tense nervousness which has kept Hungary's neighbors dangerously excited for the last three years. So far as Austria Is concerned the news of Charles's death was re ceived with profound expressions of compassion and sympathy for the be reaved family. Charles was never popular in Austria except in limited monarchist circles, and it was almost forgotten he was ever a factor In Aus tria's destinies. If Charles was politically dead for Austria long before his physical death this was not the case In Hungary, where he always remained the crowned king, and the Hungarian aggressive policy for the recovery of territorial Integrity was closely connected with Ills person. He served as a symbol for a greater Hun gary. This aggressiveness might be mitigated now, and, according to the latest dispatches from Budapest, an im provement in Hungary's relations with neighboring States Is expected. The legitimists are expected to lose much of their influence. While in Austria no political reaction is outwardly visible. It Is likely the monarchists of Austria will follow the lead of Hungary and accept Francis Joseph Otto, eldest son of Charles, as the legal head of the Hapsburgs. A suggestion lias been made that Prince Slxtus, an Italian, and brother of former Empress Zlta, legally adopt Francis j Joseph Otto, making him a member of i the Italian house of Bourbon-Parma, and thus circumvent the ban on the Hapsburg succession. Loam I.nwful tinier. The political difference between Aua- | trla and Hungary regarding the death ! of Charles Is that the former Is a re- 1 public, for which the death of the ex- j Emperor Is a private affair without any < official consequences or public mourn ing. while Hungary, a kingdom, con siders that It has lost Its lawful ruler, whose royal rights were only tempor arily suspended by circumstances but never ceased. Official ("zecho-Slovakian circles In Prague consider the death of Charles as 1 h great relief, as his person as crowned King of Hungary now passes Into his tory. The ex-Emperor Is stated to have ex pressed the wish to be hurled in the his toric Knpuziner Oruft In Vienna, but It j Is doubtful what attitude the republican Government and the allied Powers will assume on this point. Viennese Entente ! circles believe the Hungarian monarch- \ Ists will appeal to the Council of Am bassadors to permit the burial there, hut It will take a long time to settlo the question. The only extensive mark of sympathy revealed In Vienna was In the I fact the church bells throughout the city rang for half an hour this morning In j Charles's memory. To-day's Vienna newspapers devote Ions editorials to the former lCmperor's death, but all aacfhtuate the human side of the tragedy. The Christian Reich* post, whose edl'or Is said secretly to be a monarchist, appeared In mourning and declared: "This death has so over shadowed human misery that one wishes for humanity's f-ako that compassion and respectful silence shall coma to the aid of the family." Ascribed Own **?<?. The Socialist Arbrilrr Zeitvng Is not of the same opinion. It admits the hu man side of the tr-aglo end. but says the event la political as well as human, and adda: 'The decny of the Hapsburg ICm plre Is the result of the crime which caused the world war. Thr? Holise of Hapsburg kindled the fire which devas tated the world. Those who are grieved by the fact that Charles was forced to die on the Island of Madeira ought to keep In mind that he had ascribed this fate to himself. If he had kept quiet the Austrian Republic would have left him unmolested either In loner Austria , or Switzerland. But he wantonly chal- j lenged fate again and again. If one , lakes him for what he really was , Charles was a quiet, ordinary man who lacked "verythlng In the way of great- ' nesa.

SUPPRESSION DENIED | O'Connor Says Failure of Secessionists Means Civil War. FOUR DIE IN BELFAST Children Are Shot in Reprisal for Killing of Constable Saturday. Special Cable to Tnn Yokk Hb*am>. Copyright, J 022, by The Niw Yomc IIkjmld New York Herald Barean,) Dublin, April 2. t While the secessionist army was mustering its members of the Dublin , brigade this afternoon in the attempt to prevent the operation of the Dail Eireann and Ihe Provisional Govern ment, Michael Collins, ' head of the !atter body, speaking at Castlebar took another step in the open diplo macy between him and Eamon de Valera to And a common ground on which both can work harmoniously for the good of Ireland. The extent of the split in the Irish Republican Army was clearly indloated by the fact that about 2,000 members of the Dublin brigade, which before the split was generally believed to number 5,000, gathered in Smithfleld market and formed into companies, taking a new oath of allegiance to the Irish Republic. A few thousand spec tators were present Resides two com panies of the Kumann Na Bman, a woman's organization, and some Irish Boy Scouts. Several speakers addressed the men assembled In two large groups, the principal speakers being Roderick | O'Connor and Oscar Traynor, com I mantling officer of the Dublin brigade. Traynor spoke indistinctly, but the tenor of his remarks was a general indictment of the regular army lead ; era for abandoning the struggle for a | republic. He insisted the oHIy thing j that would bring about civil war i would be the failure of the rest of the | army to join the secessionists, because . Collins and Griffith could not conduct a war without an army. Suppression Denied. O'Connor denied the charge they were aiming: to suppress the Dail Elreann. saying this was needless, because the Griffith members who voted for the treaty were doing that. He accepted the responsibility for wrecking the Free man's Joiimcl plant. Justifying it by saying the Irish newspapers were not free, as an example of which he cited a lurge fror.t page advertisement In a local paper urging all soldiers, In behalf of army headquarters, to remain loyal. 'l'tare was a discrepancy here, as Traynor had previously charged that the leaders of the regular army were using money to disrupt the army ranks of the secessionists, saying that they must have paid ?15 tor that advertisement. The men composing the Dublin bri gade of the secessionist army are In ferior in physical appearance. The .great majority appeared to be from eighteen to twenty-tour years old and a few appeared In short trousers. Most of ? them were shabbily dressed and dull looking, giving the Impression that they were not ?cpresentative of Dublin youth. Freedom Xot Complete. Tf Colllns's open covenant and olive j branch plan finds favor with the De j Vnlerlsts the Importance of this muster! dwindles. He admitted that complete freedom had not yet been gained, but that the North must be converted to Irish nationality so that on the day when the nation speaks to the world "with a united Gaelic voice" full and complete freedom would be gained. IIh asked De Valera and his friends If j they would not Join for a united Ireland j and nddod. "Can they not adopt a policy of live-and let live?" "Will they not admit the facts and recognize that, the Free State in the immediate future Is the only posslblo \ government?" Collins a?ked. The agree ment with Sir .Tames Craig, Premier of Ulster, he said, added Immensely to the prospect of a union which would oe | made almost certain "if we could arrive at an understanding among ourselves.' Intimidation and violence, Collins said, gave England a chance "for the old ex - ' cuse of Intervention, the old divide and rule" s> stem. He prescribed two con ditions to which both sides must con form: First, no military violence: s<>r ? ; ond, the Free State force must be the nucleus of a national army. While it Is expected De Valera will ; tnk< n a keen interest In Colllns's speech, this was not. Indicated by his talk at Diindalk to-dny, where. In referring to1 the new peace pact, he said that In North Ireland It was already cons.d- . cred to be a scrap of paper. ASSASSINATION RIFE IN BELFAST'S STREETS Littl?

Special Dispatch to The New York Herald, i Nw York Hrruld Ilurrntt. ) Washington, D. April I Collapse of the coal strike before the end of April is confidently expected by high Government officials. The country is prepared to endure a strike j for a much longer period, and the miners and operators, knowing this, | are expected to yield to mediation in some of the larger producing districts. Special investigators in the coal re gions have reported that in some dis tricts the chances are (uorlbte for early meetings between 4hiners and operators, and that in I hose sections j adjustments mny be reached and mines reopened. The Government still takes the at titude that the strike will wear itself down gradually, and that district by ; district the minors will get together with the operators and reduce the J number of- idle miners to a negligible number. The Department of Justice, like other Gov^nment departments, is mereiy watching developments in the strlks regions. Within a short period, agents have reported, operators ? may resume operations 011 the open shop basis and rely upon the Government to protect the workers.

Mr. Lewis favors Government action that will establish such supervision over the coal industry as Is now exercised by the Interstate Commerce Commission over the railroads. It is probable Mr. Lewis will call upon Secretary of Labor Davis. Mr. Davis Is not expected 'o renew overtures to the operators and miners unless the President directs a change in the policy of non-Interference. President Harding's views upon the question of naming a commission to make an Investigation of the coal in dustry. with particular reference to con ditions that have precipitated the strike, may become known within a few days.

MASKED MEN GET $75,000 IN WASHING TON SQUARE; LOCK TEN IN WINE VAULT BANDITS LOOT TRAIN IN DARING HOLDUP Crew Lined Up anil Freight Cars Emptied at Chelsea, Near Pou^hkeepsie. WAITED ON HEAVY GRADE Made Engineer Stop at Gun Point and Drive Locomo tive a Mile Away. Special Dispatch to Tin Nrr\v Tout Hmalp. Poitqhkeepsie, April 2.?A fast freight train of the New York Central Rail road was held up at 2 o'clock this morning at Chelsea, twelve miles from here, by seven armed bandits who clambered on to the locomotive and caboose while the train labored up the heavy grade near the Chelsea brick yards, one of the loneliest sections on the road from New York to Albany. Seven cars were broken into and looted by the bandits, after they had lined up the train crew, forced them to the tender and compelled the en gineer, H. Cranntigc, to drive the loco motive a mile down the track. Railrpad officials here said to-night that while the quantity of goods stolen was probably large, they would not be able to tell how much the loss was until an inventory of the ship ments and the cargo of the train had been made. It Is believed that the bandits had intended to hold up the train which leaves New York every night laden with valuable shipments of raw and finished silk,"and which should have paused the Chelsea sta tion only a few minutes before the one that was held up. This train was late, however, an<f the mixed freight, known as the M. D. 3, passed it. I'ew of the details or the holdup have reached T'oughkeepsJo because every official of the Sheriff's .office, headed by Sheriff Everett It. Davis, is at Chel SM helping to hunt fur the robbers, and railroad officials are reticent. So far as the authorities here have re ceived word, the bandits did not shoot, any of the train crew, none of whom offered resistance when the bandits suddenly appeared on the tender and In the caboose and pointed pistols at them. Ilrakentnn Hot?e?*n Fires. One of the brakemen of this train, it is said, was on top of a freight cir near the tender when the bandits appeared and began shooting to frighten the engi neer and fireman. He turned and started on a run back toward the ca boose, pursued by one of the bandits, who had clambered onto the> top of the train from the engine. This man firetl one shot into the air, and then two moro in quick succession. Apparently it was u signal, because a bandit Im mediately climbed to the top o>' the freight car nearest the caBoose and the brakam&n, caught between two fires, surrendered and was ted back to join the others on the tender. Sheriff Davis and a pos>e of seventeen deputies left for Chelsea us .soon au word was received here of tiie holdup, end to-night they are sweeping the country in automobiles. Detachments of State police are also scouring the district tn the Vicinity of the brickyards and ranting up and down the river for several miles. So far no word has been received hero of I race of the bandits. The Sheriff believes that they escaped in automobile*, lights of which were seen noput. the stalled train by tiie men of the crotv it mile or more away. It in poM.-ible that they had a boat moored alongside the Chelsea docks. The holdup apparently was elaborate ly planned and as elaborately staged. Before the bandits boarded the train when it slowed up down Uie brickyard grade, they cut the t( lephone and tele graph wires within a radius of several miles. When they left the train crew, the engineer and hits men had to go to Beacon and Pougnkeepsle before they could telephone an alarm. St* Arreiitfil I Then Freed. There is not much life in the Chelsea section during tiie v. inter, when the brickyards lire shut down, and in all the stretch of track from New York to Albany the bandits could hardly have picked out a better spot for the holdup. They came with caution, apparently, and were successful In keeping out of (tight, because' the authorities have not been able.to find any one who saw them or heard them before they begun shooting about the train to frighten the crew. Once this morning the Sheriff and his posse thought they might have tome of the men concerned In the crime. They picked up four negmes and two white men who were driving rspldly along the river road near Chelsea, but these men. It was said here to-night, had an alibi and were releaaed. The brndits must have been at Chel sea some time before the train came along. The wires were cut with nippers The bandits even found time to break open the telephone pay station and rob the coin .box of the few nickels it con tained. Then they strung out along the tmcka, hiding In the bri< kyard behind piles of brick and crouching under the embankment at the sl''e of the ralln. There they waited, knowing that when the heavy train reached the grade it would have to alow up almost to ? stop and that it would be easy for them to bonrd It. Shortly before 2 o'clock the lights of the locomotive appeared around the bend. Mie engine puffing and atralnln-r to get the iong train of cars up the grade. The bandit*, strung In a aort of thin ikklrmlsh line up and down the track, waited until the locomotive had almost reached the top of the grade. In an other two minutes It would have tof?p*<l the crest of the hill and the train would have begun to gatfcer epeed for the run dolAi the crtde.

Henry Rlckert, aged 1C, an inmate of the L?eake & Watts orphans' home at 463 Hawthorne avenue, Yonkers, lost his life yesterday by the capsizing 1 of a canoe in which he and two other ? boys of the home were making their , way across the Hudson River oppo I site Yonkers. The other boys. William Nicola, . aged 16, and William Madden, 17, ! swam to the New Jersey shore, where 1 they were found later unconscious on the beach; I Other boys at the home, which is ; virtually on the bank of the Hudson, j saw the canoe upset. They notified the superintendent of the home, who culled the police, and Policeman Rob ert Philip and Henry Murphy started tq^the rescue in a rowboat. This sank and when they succeeded in swimming 1 to shore they tried to signal a pass ing launch, but failed. In the mean while they observed that the Elinore, wi tugboat, had gone to the boys' I assistance. The New York Police Department's boat John F.

A search was made in the waters surrounding the tpot where tlie canoe upset, but no trace of the Rickert boy's body could be found.

Returning from Plum Beach toward nightfall the canoes became separated | and the physicians observed tiiat Mr. ; Pointer seemed to be having trouble. They went ashore at iJriental Point, where they left the women, and then , went to Mr. Painter's aid.

Wife and Eight Servants in Daring Style BUTLER GIVES ALARM Escapes Bandit Guard in Cellar and Scares Off In truders in a Hurry. ONE PLUNDERER CAUGHT j Sunday Crowds Join in Excit ins; Clinse Until Squirming Frenchman Is Cornered. I Just after tlic eight servants in the home of Albert R. Shattuek. who [ lives at 19 Washington Square North sat down to dinner yesterday after noon?a few minutes after 1:30 three men entered the room, poked pistols forward and marched the eight I into the cellar and shoved them into i the wine vault. At the same time two other men went to the second floor of the house and into Mrs. Shattuck's rooms there, encountering her. ^She screamed and her husband, who had been In the library, ran to her rescue. One of the men jammed the muzzle of a pistol into Mr. Shattuck's ab domen, told him to make no noise unless he desired to die and then both Mr. Shattuek and his wife were unceremoniously bundled down into the cellar and thrust into the vault to keep the servants company. One of the Btrangers was left to guard the door of the vault. He declared that he proposed doing no shooting unless J the ten within the inclosure tried to escape or attract attention. His four companions then scat tered over the house to perpetrate one of the most remarkable bur glaries this city has seen for years. | All of the five burglars were masked ?two of them with bandanna hand ? kerchiefs and the remainder wit* j black cloth cut In the most approved bandit method. Likewise all of them were small, all about the same size as Eugenio Dioset, a French sailo.1 who gives his address as 321 Wei ! Twenty-first street, who was capture and who has given to the police ? story that they say warrants them in predicting the arrest of the others. Probably 1'iifd Pasa Keys. When the raid took place all of Washington Square was crowded and the large throngs of promenaders 1 usually seen in Washington Square North and West of a fine Sunda\ i afternoon were out. Just how the burglars got into the place remains ' something of a mystery, although the I chances arc that they let themselves In through the basement door with a pass key. No window had been Jim mied nor opened. No door had been forced. Although the police wore mow! ret icent concerning the nffalr and th?* Shattucks and their servants refused { to go into details. It is said on pood ? uthority that at least two of th? burglars enered the house with a key, mysteriously obtained, very early in the mornln*. At the proper time they are supposed to ha\ e let their pals in Ju~t how much Jewelry and money was taken is conjecturable. The police estimate the Shattuek loss at >75,000, | all In Jewels and money. The same ! quick estimate by the police places the value of the stuff found in Dioset'a possesion when he was captured at ' $20,000. There seems to b? little reason i doubting that the burglars knew tli? house. Likewise they knew the acheti i tile of the family. They were In the i house for come time before they mad i their appearance. That Is accepted hi certain. They waited until Mr. and Mrs. Shattuek l?d finished dlnnei Then they waited until all of the servants were In the dining room in ?he basement. They knew precise!y where the wine vault was. They dlu j not fumble about either before or after the robbery. They wasted no time in false moves. ?I. Tl"- three who took the servants by surprise entered the room by Its t* i iioor?. The servants, the builer, i,>e other two men and Ave women, were faced by two men who told them to b?<'K up ngain* the wall. An they did tb? the third burglar entered by the door , Rgainst which thoy were harking. Tlio strangers paid little attention to Charlen Zaung. the butler, and Victor Tlro$*i, ; the second man. They appeared to be afraid of the possible screaming of the women, but evidently decMed that tho womel were too reared to raise the alarm. One of the men took churn of tlie five women. He wa? quit# r*?nl? wt.n them, they Kid, and i>ersl?teni7j? ??<mre<i 1 them that they would be quite all rift : I If they wens sensible and kept tlif r mouths shut.
