APPEALING TO THE woMEy.
DR.. Parkharst Speaks In the .Apnex-
ed Distrirs' Of New York.

DR.. Parkhsr~t speaks In the .Asnex-
ed Districs- Of New York.
DIR. Parkhurst has carried his crusade
against vice into the annexed district OF
New York city. The doctor had never been
north Of the Harlem river before. although
branch Of the City Vigilance League has
been doing efficient work there for the past
two years. Tuesday night a meeting of
the league was held IN Bethany Presby-
terrain Church. in l37th street. near willis
avenue. and DIR. Parkhurst was the prin-
cipal orator
When DR. Parkhurst stepped to the front
OF the platform ne was heartily appiauded.
He said that he was not going 10 make a
speech: merely a talk. He got at Tammany
IN the FIRST inning: There are good men In
this despicable organization he said but
only a few of them. Many are admirable
men. and when l see them I feel glad that
the organization is not wholly composed of
thieves
But Il is 20 the women I am going &c
talk tonight" continued the doctor. He
said he knew the women were interested In
the work OF the league. although IL was not
until recently that he had heard from them
He said the women could do almost az
muah as the men to bring about the de-
sired reform by using their persuasive pow
ers. He asked them TO lock TO their sons
and their influences 10 induce such
Of them as are Maynard TO steer clear CO
communicating associations. He said that
mothers hardly appreciated the influence
that In being brought 20 bear upon their
boys because of the municipal depravity.
After urging the women TO join hand In
hand in the work of the league, the doctor
said the outlook for a victory for his so
fore, but the man for mayor must be a
person who would do his duty.

AUTOMATIC FIRE ALARM.

superintendent Miles Submits q state
ment ~ TO the Treasurer Complaint.
Relative to the complaint made a short
time ago to the Commissioners by J. w.
Frost. treasurer OF the National Automatic
Fire Alarm Company. which called atten-
ton to. the way In which fire alarms trans
mitted by their system were handled at the
headquarters Of the city fire alarm tele-
graph, Henry n. Miles, superintendent OF
the telephone and telegraph service, today
submitted TO the Commissioners the fol-
lowing statement OF facts:
Prior to issuing the permit. a copy OF
which he incioses. the Commissioners and
the superintendent held a consultation on
the subject. and in view of the fact that
the Automatic Company uses thermostats
as part Of It's apparatus for transmitting
alarms from places II protects TO Its own
central Office the conclusion was reached
that IL would be wiser and best TO place IL
on the same footing with telephone alarms
from private individuals. To wit: Send
the nearest fire company as quickly az pos
sible. II the company responding needs
additional help the foreman In charge
causes a regular box to be pulled 4 long
experience has demonstrated the wisdom
OF so treating telephone siarms. az our
records show that I'm ninety cases out OF
a hundred the one company sent In able 10
manage the fire az. indeed. q fire is found.
Az We tAdSt- OuI pObks tDOH ttAdA 0urluk
the fiscal year ended June 30 last we re-
ceived s12 telephone or local alarms TO
which a single company was sent out. and
In but thirty-two cases additional help was
called for. just nine and three-fourth per
cent of the entire number.
Returning to the complaint OF Mr.. Frost.
wherein he alleges that the FIRST alarm sent
In by his company 0rom LansbuSeh's, on
F street, September Y. 1922 was responded
to by full assignment Of the fire depart
ment. i beg to correct his assertion by
stating that the records of this once show
that the alarm was false there being no
fire there. and that only No. company
was sent out, and that IL was absent from
quarters only eight minutes
In regard to Mr.. Frost's statement that
time was lost at this ONCE in transmitting
the alarm for the Stumph fire, I answer
that Mr.. Maloy, the electrician In charge
OF the automatic. informed me In this Office
three days after the fire that they got the
alarm from the Stumph warehouse at IL as
am. Our records show that this Office re-
cefved and transmitted IL 20 No. q fire com
pany at III :&s am. and the records Of that
company show that IL was responded 10 at
IL :4s am, and hence there was no delay
The full facts are: The Automatic Com
pahy since its permit was granted Feb
ruary y, 1891, to date. has given us lust
four alarms-one-hah Of which have been
false. III the Commissioners and the chief
engineer of the fire department think A.
best TO grant the request of Mr. Frost after
the trial given his system, I will fntsrpose
no objection. but In my own Judgment N
would not be best"

The President az Arbtter.

Notice has been received by the State
Department from Mr.. Sleeper. the United
States secretary Of legation and consul
general at Carthegena. that the Colombian
and Italian governments have signed a
treaty submitting 20 the arbitration OF the
President of the United States the claim
for PREPARATION and indemnity OF the Italian
subject Cerruti. This man was arrested In
Colombia on what the Italian government
Insists was a baseiess and unwarranted
charge and WIS imprisoned for a long timo
Italy finally secured his release and fol-
lowed this up with a demand for indem-
nifty, which was refused by Colombia.

PECKHAM'S CASE.
SENATE COMMITTEE MAKES NC
COMMENDATION.
Senator Hill Deems This Action a
Victory-The Matter to be
Settled Thursday.

Washington. Feb. 12.-The senate
judiciary committee this morning, by
q vote of five to five agreed to report
the Peckham nomination without re
commendation Mr.. Hoar was absent
The nomination of Mr.. Peckham was
discussed vigorously for some time in
committee and an additional number Of
letters were read. The votes against
Mr.. Pecllham were Messrs. Pugll, Hill.
Teller, Coke and Wilson. Those for
aim were Messrs. Villas Lindsay,
Mitchell of Oregon, Plat and George.
Either side could have secured post
ponement, but Mr. Hill was satisfied
with the report without recommends
ton. Mr. Hoar, who was absent, 1t
was positively stated by one of the
committee, would have voted in the
negative, so that the opponents of Mr..
Peckham look upon the result as prac-
ticaly a rejection. Mr.. Hill expresses
himself as satisfied with the result,
and believes the nomination will share
the fate Of Mr.. Hornblower.
It is probable that an executive SEES
sion to consider the case will be ar
ranged for Thursday

London, Feb. 1.-THE Times tomor
row will publish the following dis
patch from Montevideo, dated Feb. II
Rio. Janeiro, Feb. 9.-At ) O'Clock
this morning 800 insurgents attacked
Armacao and Ponta da AREA, i'll the
vicinity of Nictheroy. Launches con
veylnG the landing parties left the
island OF Concecyaco at $3.50 a. III
and succeeded in reaching the main
land without discovery. Then, in hall
an hour, after heavy firing on boil
sides, the government troops retired
leaving five officers and forty mel
prisoners and six officers and fifty
ments of over thousand men arriving
the government troops again advanced
under heavy fire of rifles and ma chint
guns, a Krupp battery, stationed Oh
the island of Caju opposite Pona da
AREA, also being engaged. Admira
da CANA further attempted to check
the advance of the troops by calling
reinforcements of 1000 men from the
island Of Conceicao and arm d launche.
from the cruiser Libertada, close to the
shore of the mainland These efforts
stopped the advance and caused heavy
losses to the government forces. Then
their ammunition fell short, their fire
slackened and the troops slowly gained
ground. After three hours of fighting
the troops were within half a mile OF
ArmacaO and Admiral da CANA de
cided to withdraw his sailors, finding
it was impossible to remain there on
account of the overwhelming numbers
Of the enemy. Armed launches contin
