pending trial for the Cathedral bomb
plot, reiterated yesterday his story
Of frame-up by the police. Speaking
TO his brother-in-law. Carmine Tesla,
Of 2S4 Elizabeth Street, he added TO
his earlier stories the statement that
he was not an anarchist He insisted
he had no anarchistic notions until
Pulignano, whom he knew as Baldo, in
stilled them. He also said that on the
eve Of the attempt to blow up the
Cathedral he tried TO back out of the
plot, but that Baldo made him drunk
and forced him to carry out his part

nights mentioned.

Might Have Led to the
"Verge of War;" Says
Senator.
ENDS "MEXICANIZING"
OF CONGRESS
Blow at Pledge-Bound Caucus
system of Coercing the
Majority.
Prom The Tribuns Burcsu.l

Washington, March 5.-The extent OF
the Republican victory over the admin
istration's ship purchase bill was out
lined to-day by Senator Lodge. Tho
Senator from Massachusetts, insists
that il was the purpose of the admin
istration to purchase German ships, and
that by blocking the measure the Re-
publicans saved the country serious IN
tcrnationai combinations.
In Justification of the fight against
the bill, MIR. Lodge said:
"They won a very great victory. the
intention, if the bill had passed, was
to buy the German ships imprisoned IN
our ports to avoid capture. Or TINS
fact there can be no doubt, and the
refusal to put in a clause prohibiting
the purchase of belligerent-owned
ships. which might have passed the bill,
demonstrated il.
"If the bill had passed with this in
tention on the part of the administra-
ton it would have increased interna-
tional complications and would have
raised questions which would have in
evitably brought this country to the
verge of war.
Therefore the defeat Of this bill
has relieved the country Of great
danger. But it has done something
more than this, although the escape
from international danger overshadows
all else. The defeat of the ship pur-
chase bill is a blow to President Will
sons plan of making Congress the
mere registry of the executive will.
That has been the system of Mexico,
and it is a great service to have
checked this Mexicanization of our
government in at least one instance
"The defeat of the bill is also a blow
10 the pledge bound caucus system
which enables a minority of Congress,
but little more than one-third of the
whole body, to control legislation by a
coerced majority. A victory which
has brought such results as this was
worth all the toll and strain which
were necessary for its achievement"

|'OLD DUTCH" REEL
TAKEN INTO COURT
Victor Herbert Seeks to Halt
Motion Play-Accuses Fields
of Contract Violation.

Justice Blur yesterday reserved de-
cision on the application of Victor Her
bert for an injunction to restrain the
World Film Company and Lew Fields
from the further production of the
photo play "Old Dutch"
Herbert, who wrote the music for the
original play, alleges that as movie
film its profits will amount to 100000
by the end of the year. The film COM
pany spent $4,000 TO produce. The
composer also wants an accounting.
The objections made by Herbert are
based on a contract he made that "Old
Dutch must not be presented in any
other than the musical form without
his permission. The only trouble
seems to have been, according to the
opposition made yesterday in court
against the injunction that the con-
tract was not signed by the Shuberts,
who produced the musical play, but by
Lew Fields, who, II is now contended
by the defence, had no authority TO
sign such contract, being only the lead
ing man.
Explanation was that Herbert wanted
the contract made, and some one said,
Let Fields sign it," and Lew did.
Proceedings also revealed a long
standing difference between Herbert
and Edgar Smith, writer of books for
comic operas.
"Old Dutch" was a German farce,
which the Shuberts bought abroad, en-
gaging Smith 20 write the book for a
musical production in English. Then
the Shuberts tried to engage Herbert
to write the music, but he refused to
have anything to do with it because Of
Smiths part in the play. This differ
cncc between Herbert and Smith has
existed for more than ten years.
Herbert refused TO listen to the over
lures of the Shuberts to collaborate
with Smith. so George V. Hobart was
engaged for that purpose, and Herbert
then wrctc the music Hobart and Her
bert copyrighted their production and
the Shuberts copyrighted the words Of
