Washington.-With Italy In the war,
the United States comes near to being
the diplomatic clearing house of the
whole world.
If the United States should go into
the war the diplomacy of the world
would be near the point of blowing up.
Austrian diplomatic and consular af-
fairs have been turned over in Italy to
the American officials.
This will be one more big burden
shouldered of on the overworked
American agents in several countries.
Already Americans are handling these
Affairs for warning powers all around
the world.
The addition of the complicated con-
Germs Of Germany, Italy and Austria
will necessitate special provision of
more personnel and further drafts on
this country's resources of people
trained for this kind of service.
Until now Italy and the United
States have been the only first class
powers not involved in the war. In or
binary circumstances the Italians would
have been asked to divide with the
Americans the duty Of playing first
friend to the warning nations.
But in the present instance it was
impossible because Italy was nominal

These shouts were intermingled
with cries of Down With Germany

lice endeavored to repress the fore
nest of the demonstrators and scuf-
file ensued. The demonstrators sang
the Garibaldi hymn and the "Marseil-

waved their flag. The police seized
the flag, but the demonstrators later
succeeded in recapturing it. Several
arrests were made.
Ricciotti Garibaldi his wife and his
sons, the latter still wearing French
uniforms, received the body at the
cemetery, where few appreciative
speeches were delivered at the grave

PANIC REICNED
IN THE SUBWAY
Stalled Trains In New York S
Underground Railway Gre
ates CONSERVATION.

NEW YORK, JAN 6-The worst ac-
cident in the 10 years history of New
York's subway occurred in the morn
ing rush hours today, when 700 pas
sengers, in two stalled trains, were
stricken with panic in the darkened
tubes by the dense smoke and acrid
fumes from a short-circuited cable.
In the ensuing struggle to escape
some 200 persons were injured, one
a woman-fatally. Others were over
come and were rescued, unconscious,
by police and firemen, while scores
of others struggled to the street, un-
nerved or hysterical, their clothing
torn and faces blackened by smoke.
AS a result of the accident the city
was in the throes of transportation
blockade tonight without parallel in its
history. 1t was not until late today
that a wheel again turned in the sub
way and at that time laly limited
local service was in operation. The
hundreds of thousands of passengers
the subway ordinarily carries were
diverted to the elevated and surface
systems and when the home-bound
rush began tonight neither system had
adequate facilities to accommodate
the tremendous crowds that sought
transportation.
There were no subway trains at all
running to Brooklyn and dense mass
of humanity, concentrating at the
Brooklyn bridge, prolonged the rush
hour period for two hours in a strug-
gle to board trains and cars.
The management of the INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit company was not
prepared tonight to guarantee that nor.
NAL schedule would be restored to-
morrow and repetition of today s
congested traffic conditions was feared
The accident occurred between the
Fiftieth and Fifty-ninth street stations
and called out virtually the entire fire
and ambulance service on Manhattan
island. The two trains, an express and
a local, both packed with business
bound humanity, came to a stop mid
way between the stations and the
lights went out. A large feed cable
had blown out in it's conduit some SO
yards distant, and soon the cars were
filled with the fumes of burning rub
ber. This grew unbearable and it took
little to start a panic in the darkness

refused by the guards. it was said
Fights ensued and there was soon in
progress ON both trains desperate
struggles to get out.
Windows were smashed by the
score; men and women trampled each
other and tore each others clothes in
unreasoning fear.
Meantime. smoke poured up through
the station entrance, manholes and
ventilators in dense volume. Little at
tention seems to have been paid to
his warning until the first of the panic
stricken passengers reached the street
Then the report spread that there had
been a terrible catastrophe, In which
many had been killed.
Policemen and firemen reached the
scene and although it was at length

MAY IMPEACH
THE PRESIDENT
If He Has Exceeded His Au-
hority In Making Recess Ap-
pointments, Only Cause.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Members
of the senate judiciary subcommittee
appointed to inquire into constitutional
phases of the patronage dispute be-
tween the senate and the president
discussed their task informally today
and Senator Culberson, the chairman,
said tonight a meeting would be called
in a day or two.
The committee is directed to ascer-
tain the constitutionality of the presi-
dents making recess appointments for
vacancies that occur when the senate
is in session, as was the case in the
appointment of Ewing c. Bland, to
be United States marshal for the west
ern district of Missouri. Senator Reed
of Missouri, who has been named a
member of the subcommittee and has
been fighting the Bland nomination. is
delving into the authorities prepara-
tory to the meeting of the committee.
Should the committee report that
the president exceeded his constitu-
tional authority, it is said the only
remedy, in case any should be sought,
would be to submit the case to the
house with a view to Impeachment
proceedings.

SENATORS
IN DEBATE
ON MEXICO
Lodge Believes Time Has Come
for Military Occupation
By the United States.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.--Mexican
troubles we're the subject of another
sharp debate today in the senate. Sen
stor Lodge, ranking republican mem
ber of the foreign relations committee;
made a speech criticizing the admin
istration's attitude and declaring that
It was all but too late for the Ameri-
can government to adopt any policy
toward Mexico other than military oc-
cupation.
This drew a vigorous reply from
Senator Stone, chairman of the COM
mittee, who branded the Massachu'
setts senator's attack as purely a par
tisan outburst.
Senator Borah joined in the discus
sion and it was indicated that there
would be a general airing of views on
the Mexican situation in the near fu-
ture.
Senator Lodge reviewed the whole
history of the disturbances in Mexico
from the inception of the Madero revo-
lution to the present strife between
the Villa and Carranza factions, and
declared anarchy existed now. He IN
sisted that the animosity of President
Wilson against General Huerta had
directed the course of the admlnlstra-
tion toward the southern republic and
that the failure of the president to
mention Mexico in his last annual
message to congress had left it to be
presumed that he had no policy to
advance now that Huerta was ousted
and revolt and tumult ragged along the
border. ,.
Senator Lodges statement that 1t
was impossible to expect the organl'
zation of an orderly government IN
Mexico, and that anything lookii4s to
that end was an impossible dream
was attacked by Senator Stone. He
sharply arraigned the Massachusetts
senator for precipitating the discus
sion of the foreign relations OF the
United States at this time, when every
possible effort was being made te
keen the nation at peace while wal
ragged in many parts of the world.
Senator Lodge had incorporated II

FLOUR SHOOTS
UP WITH WHEAT
Price Is $l.S5 a Barrel Greater
Than in August and Wheat
Highest in 40 Years.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-War prices to
day net only hoisted wheat, but dealt
a stunning blow to consumers of flour
Top grades of the best patent flour
were elevated Just So cents a barrel, as
compared with "a hours previous, be
ing held at $7.15 a barrel.
Second qualities of flour that sold
for $3.50 last week we're quoted al
$3.50 a barrel after today's rise. Flour
that commanded today $7.15 barrel
sold in August for $3.50. The reason
given for the advance in the cost OF
-four was the fact that owing to the
abnormal European demand for bread
stuffs cash wheat in Chicago today had
touched $1.37 IA, the highest January
price in more than 40 years.
Waves of buying in the wheat pit on
change here carried the chief specula
tive option. May delivery, up to
$137 5-8, a leap of more than 10 cents
in a week and of three cents or more
above last session. Many brokers de
clared that the latest upturn was mere
ly a step toward $500 wheat--that the
price of the May option would go far
beyond the $1.85 record established in
1898 at the time of the Letter deal
Such enthusiasts avowedly based
their predictions on belief that the
European war will last as much as two
years more.
On the other hand, the export buy
ing came to at least temporary hal,
today, SO far as Chicago was con
cerned, though not at the seaboard. Il
was also a fact that great number:
of speculative traders, including many
so-called eleventh-hour bills, were
content to realize profits and get ou
of the market. Indeed, at one tim'
today, during a backward sweep O
prices, some of the selling was said tt
