Liverpool, Aug. 17.-This city is to-
day beleaguered and one thousand
babies and an additional two thou
sand children are actually starving as
a result of the strike of the dock
workers, which has effectually tied
up traffic and caused a food famine,
such as the city has never before ex-
perienced.
So acute has the situation become,
that the government has sent the war
ship Antrim here and the battl aship
is today guarding the harbor.
Five thousand troops are encamp-
ed about the city in the streets and
several additional warships are en-
route to the city to aid in guard ng
the harbor.
The admiralty has announced that
it is determined to henceworth pro-
tect shipping, and the crews of the
war vessels will probably be used to
unloads ships, the owners of which will
not allow the seamen to board their
vessels. This, it is declared, is the
only way the government sees to end
the famine, which has reached a Sc
rious stage.
To add to the misery to which the
younger childred had been subjected
following the labor troubles. the milk
supply was today cut off and fren-
zied parents are beseging the authori-
ties and begging and demanding sup
p es, which the authorities are un-
able to give. Other food supplies are
very low, and few more hours con-
tinuance of the traffic tie-up will see
every one in actual want of food.
The electric workers went out on a
strike today. Soldiers have been orr
dered to work at the lighting plants.
The government will operate them
until the strikers places are other
wise filled.

DEFENSE FOR
MR.. CHURCHMAN
State Senate Fixes Thursday
for Friends Of Judicial
AppOintee to Speak
OPPONENTS ARGUE
CASE THROUGHOUT DAY

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del. Jan. 24-After devot- !
ing nearly six hours in executive ses- |
sion. behind closed doors, 10 hear
ing of lawyers objecting to the con-
firmation of Philip Q. Churchman as
resident judge for New CASTLE county,
the State Senate shortly before six
o'clock last evening fixed Thursday of
this week as a time for a hearing TO
Mr.. Churhman and persons in behalf
of his confirmation. At that time,
if he chooses. Mr.. Churchman can
reply to the charges and assertions
made by the delegation Of lawyers
from the three counties yesterday in
the Senate, against the general repu-
tation" of the man appointed by the
Governor to be judge.
Everything that occurred in the
Senatet was supposed to be secret, but
Il is known that the widest latitude
was given to the lawyers in voicing
their opposition. Not only did they
make their charges, but they argued
as well against confirmation.
When the Senate resolved into COM
mittee of the whole in executive ses-
sion in the morning, motion was
made that Lieutenant-Gover Men
dinhall continue to preside. This re-
duired unanimous consent, but SEN
ator Drexler objected, and Mr.. Men
dinhall retired from the chamber.
II was about o'clock when the
Senate was supposed to be secret, but
testing delegation Of lawyers. There
was some discussion, and then former
Judge Daniel o. Hastings, chief coun-
sci of the Legislature, stated that in
judicial procedure it was customary
for the person accused to have an op-
pOrtunity TO present his side, and then
the accusing side could be given an
opportunity to rebut. Mr.. Hastings
said he understood that Mr.. Church
man had no objection to everything
possible being presented against him.
Mr.. Hastings then retired.
During the discussion that followed
Senator Drexler said under the cir
( cumstances he thought Governor
Pennewill should be requested TO ap-
pear in the Senate, be informed Of
the charges made against Mr.. Church
, man. and be given an opportunity to
withdraw the appointment, instead of
| it being called TO a vote on con-
frmation No action was taken on
this suggestion, however.
Il was finally decided, about $40
O'Clock, to inform Mr.. Churchman of
the charges in detail made against
him, and to give him an opportunity to
appear before the Senate in executive
session on Thursday and make his
reply OF defense, if he chose to.
1t was said yesterday that some OF
those opposing Mr.. Churchman hao
engaged detectives to watch his home
and TO follow him and his family.
