The Allies refused 90 be biufed. Not

the German government in announcing
its new policy before President Wilson

had impression both on the President

that he cease tampering with interna.

COLBY RESIGNS
INQUIRY POST
Continued from page |

Senator paused in his dictation and
smiled bit) he lends to the inquiry
a great deal of dignity and high-class
forbearance that the chairman doesn't
possess.
"We must never lose sight Of the
object of this investigation, which Is
TO pursue to the end definitely and
completely, the subject under discus
sion, regardless of collateral details or
personalities.
"The investigation will continue. We
have some very able counsel who have
been connected with the committee since
the inquiry began. And we Will meet
tomorrow morning as usual at ii
o'clock"
Several members of the committee,
including Senator Thompson, are law
yers. There are two assistant counsel,
]. Frank Smith, of Lockport, and Clar-
ence ]. Shuster, Of Rochester.
Those who have followed the ex-
animation of Mr.. Shonts during the
last three days have observed that Mr.
Colby and Mr.. Shonts have gotten
along together amicably, while Senator
Thompson, through his grillins "a the
Interborough president, has had fre-
quent tits with the witness.
"We are not conducting this investi-
CATION to make reputation for any
body" said Senator Thompson. "Wc
are making this investigation to find
out the truth-to get the facts.
don't want TO put the gag on the mem
bers of my committee
Mr.. Colby's resignation, which was
dated Saturday, read:
"My Dear Senator Thompson:
regret that | must ask you to relieve
me at once of my duties as counsel to
the joint legislative committee of the
Senate and Assembly, of which you are
chair.l-n, and 10 accept my resigna-
tion herewith. Yours very truly,
"BAINBRlDGE COLBY"
A somewhat similar letter, also con-
! tanning but one sentence. was received
from Mr.. Dawson. The latter was the
actuary for the Armstrong committee,
and was the right-hand man OF Charles

/ insurance companies. He was employed

in Pittsburgh and a check for $500
that was sent to Lemuel Ely Quigg.
These letters, one of which con
tanned the line "Quigg is the nearest
man TO Whitman" were taken from
the files of T. A. Gillespie & Co. As
they had not been introduced in evil
dence, Mr.. Colby held that their pub
LEGATION was a violation Of the promise
made TO Gillespie & Co. that nothing
would be made public unless it was
put in evidence. At the time, nine
days ago, Mr.. Colby threatened to re-
sign.

ARLEM HAS NEW FIREBUG
His Early Morning Activities Lead
detectives TO Investigate Six Blazes.


The Harlem police think another
firebug is at work. The one VINO

night, from fl to 4.
Between those hours yesterday
morning six fires were reported within
a radius OF less than half mile, IN
the district bounded by lilst and l4ith
Streets from Fifth to Seventh Avenues.
None was serious. but their proximity
10 each other In time and place and
tho fact that all began in Easements
brought detectives TO investigate.
That they were the work OF hre-
hug is considered probable because in
This same neighborhood three attempts
were made to start fire in the dumb,

Lenox Avenue. All failed. The hrst
was last Sunday and was repeated
Tuesday and Friday.

ter PRESIDENT"
The administration of President
Wilson can be divided into two parts
the first twenty-five months, in
which the country did not prosper,
and the period since the close of
Democratic hard times. The change
from commercial depression did not
begin with the opening of the war.
On the contrary, times became hard
er, for there was double fear in
the public mind, the distrust of the
administration and the dread of the
unknown caused by the European
cataclysm. In about six months,
when it became apparent that the
war would last a long time and that
our raw and manufactured goods
would be demanded by our belliger-
ent countries in unparalleled guam
titles, business began to pick up.
Since then the country has enjoyed
war prosperity--lively business with
excessively high prices.
Democrats assume that the dis
trust OF their national administration
Is kind of pig-headedness, and
