MAKES AMBASSADOR
WAIT FOR CHILD ON LINER
Hon. Sylvia May Halted
Though Sir Cecil Spring
Rice Meets Her.

Under q strict construction of the Inn
girl. the Hon. Sylvia May Fletcher Moul-
ton. thirteen-year-old daughter Of Baron
Moulton. a former member Of Parlia-
ment and an intimate friend Of Sir Cecil
SPRING. Rice, British Ambassador at
Washington. would not have been per-
mitted to land yesterday from the Amer
lean liner st. Louis in the fatherly care
Of the Amba ssador, As II turned out
there was a delay that was vexatious to
the girl little and the Ambassador. who
wondered why immigration boarding in
spectors had not some discretion in the
matter of holding up little ocean trav-
ellefs.
The inspector who detained the pretty
little Hon. Sylvia May regretted that the
law gave him no discretion. He an
nounced to her. with a quite proper re-
gard for her feelings, that she would
have to wait aboard ship until Ambas-
sador Sprins-Rice saw her. The inspec-
tor made no on the popularity
Of the law. which says. after the manner
OF fatfooted regulations, that my alien
child under 10 years OF age who arrives
In an American port unaccompanied by
one of its parents shall he deported.
Lets Hon. sylvia May Land.
Naturally Ambassador Spring-Rice
did not, like the idea Of having the
charming little Honorable taken to Ellis
Island. and as naturally the inspector
was not eager to escort her there. That
is why he got on 4 telephone and talked
with a superior officer, Assistant Immi-
grafton COMMISSIONS Byron H.. Uhl,
who sent him back to the Amba ssador
to say that the Hon. Sylvia May Fletcher
Moulton should surely be permitted to
land at the pier In charge OF the friend
of her distinguished father.
The Amba ssador had nothing to say
against the application of the law to all
folks. whether they came In cabin or
steerage, but he suggested that the inn
migration inspector In charge OF the ship
should have some liberty OF interpreting
the Law in particular cases. II seemed
to him to be self-evident that the repre-
sentative OF a great empire would be un-
likely to go to a liner to take the daugh-
ter OF an old friend away unless ne had
some sort of right to do so.
The Ambassador said he would take
the subject up with the Administration
at Washington. He intimated that he
would first see Secretary OF state Ian
sing and that the Secretary would pass
the question on to Secretary of Labor
Wilson, who would authorize the inspec-
tors TO exercise discretion, regardless of
the mandatory nature of the law, and
dstain only those who might be likely
to become public charges. which would

HALDANE DEFENDS
CHIEF OF ORDNANCE
Says Government Realized Last
Year Immense Gravity of
Munitions Problem.
Spseiai Gable Despatch 10 THs suN

LONDON, July b-Lord Haldane said
to-day while speaking before the Ma
tional Liberal Club that even in October
the Government was fully aware that
the question OF munitions was to be the
all important one. and quite beyond the
ordinary facilities Of the country. He
said there was a special committee on
this subject in the Cabinet, over which
Lord Kitchener presided. Lord Hal
dane himself was a member OF this COM
mittee, as was David Lloyd George, now
Minister OF Munitions,
II was evident, he said, and nobody
was more certain about 1t than the
ordnance department hat anything like
the necessary moun of ammunition
could not be supplied by ordinary means.
1t appeared necessary therefore. he said.
to call a consultation Of the heads Of
great armament Arms, and this was
done.
Enormous orders were placed with
these Arms and they undertook to dc
everything In their power to MI them.
II they had succeeded, or even partially
succeeded, the speaker decla red. the War
Depa rtmens would have more shells
and munitions than IL could use to-day.
But the expectations OF the manufac-
turers were not realized, largely be-
cause labor and capital had not yet
U0u OT8aflibCu'
II anybody was TO blame for this, he
asserted. it certainly was not the Master
General of the Ordnance, but the men
who did not initiate In October the i'm
msnss effort now being made.
I'VE thought" Lord Haldane said
that the great armament firms could
do what thsy said they could do, and
there Is no doubt they had no misgivings
themselves. The chief difficulty was
found In the fact that the nation was not
stirred 10 a complete sense OF the
seriousness Of the situation. and because
the difficulties about TO arise between
labor and capital could not be foreseen"
In the course OF his speech Lord Hal
dans said the German war party
thought Great Britain wanted to iso.
late Germany.
~ was bound he went on. TO make
friendly speeches to eradicate this in
correct suspicion from the minds Of the
only party in Germany which mattered
tho party Of the centre, but the war
party dominated, had not the small~s,
doubt Of the imperative necessity OF on
.aking part In the war, Had we sta yed

short. We have 500, 900 men in France

PIrrsBrRG. July 5.-"Men who make
arms and ammunition to ship to Europe
are as guilty of murder az the man who

House Foreign Affairs Committee. In a
speech to-day to his constituents here.
These men who are engaged in the
manufacture Of munitions of war are

The police found the bottle which had
contained the acid used by Holt In
making the bomb that wrecked the Sem
ate room. Holt told Major Pullman that
after he had used a part of the on
tents he emptied the rest into the sink.
As the result of Major Pullman's visit
and the information u,ven To him by
Holt he is now con WINGED that Hollis
story Of the planting of the bomb in the
Capitol is a correct narrative and the
facts will be turned over to the Grand
Jury of the Distric, Of Columbia. al
though officers admit that no attempts
will be made to bring Holt here for trial
until after the case IN New York against
him for the attack upon Mr.. Morgan has
been disposed Of, Major Pullman is not
convinced yet that Holt had no accom-
plices.
The superintendent denied the story
published In some OF the newspapers
that Holt had been subjected to the
third degree" to eStort admissions. He
explained that he was walked back n
forth several times to and from a tele-
phone booth. but that he was not walked
all night in AN effort TO wiring a state
ment from him, The Washington police
chief declares that Holt was treated like
a prisoner might be expected to be
treated under such circumstances.

There Is but one regularity about
him that Is prominent above all the

his absolute lack of memoir or feigned
lack Of memory about the most ordinary
matters. He doesn't remember where

slightest description OF the %neighbor-
