Million Men and Women
Are Attached
SENATOR KENYON
FOR AN EMBARGO
Says Germany Did Not Sell
Munitions to Spain Dur
ing the War.
81 ASSOCIATED pREss.


Washington, Jan. 27.-When the
senate convened today a thousand
bundles of petitions urging an Amer
lean embargo on war munitions to
European belIigerents and signed by
million men and women from every
state, were piled in front of the vice
presidents desk.
The petitions, resulting from an
embargo campaign of the organiza-
ton of American women for strict
neutrality, were brought early in the
day from Baltimore, headquarters of
the organization, I'M automobile vans.
A committee of women superintendent
their delivery to the senate.
The petitions expressed Earnest
protest for humanitarian reasons
against the expectation from this
country of the things which ldlI' for
the use of the nations engaged in the
present conflict" and said: Germany
did not permit her citizens to sell
arms or munitions of arms to Spain
during our war with that nation"
Senator Kenyon of Iowa, author of
an embargo resolution, in offering
the petition, said:
'eThe injunction, Thou Shalt Not
Kill should be added another, Thou
Shalt Not Assist Others to kip and
added that the country should not
suffer from the delusion that pros
perity would come to it from helping
Europe to kill It's men.
"The jingle of the dollar cannot
drown the cry of suffering from the
battlefelds of Europe" he continued.
cit may be all right TO sell these
things according to international law,
but 1t is against the moral law"
GERMANS RESENT TT.
Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, urged
reference of the petitions to the COM
merce committee instead of the for
eign relations committee.
"This ISSUE" he said, Involves the
integrity and SOLITARY of our people.
1t is breeding hate among our great
foreign-bofn population, 1t is not
within human nature for these peo-
pie, who see the great industries of
our country dedicated to the manu-
facture of deadly weapons to kill their
relatives abroad, to stand quietly by
without resenting it."
Senator Stone protested the resolu-
ton was not debatable and appealed
from Vice-president MarshaTl's ruling
that it was. Senator Clark, Demo
crat, favored an embargo but contend
ed it was a question of foreign policy
and should be considered by the for
eign relations committee.
Senator MARITIME, Democrat, Sena-
tor. Clapp, Republican, and Senator
Ashurst, Democrat, also spoke of an
embargo.
Senator Ashurst declared the same
spirit of proft-seeking had prevented
Senator Tillman from securing the
passage of law for government
of armor plate.
Senator Robinson, Democrat, urged
senators not to quickly commit the
government to a policy which would
cut off the great supply Of arms if

Of the Suffering
COMMITTEE OF 80
TO PURSUE WORK
Rousing and Widely En-
dorsed Meeting Was
Held at City Building

Five hundred and fifty dollars were
raised within fifteen minutes after q
call was made, at the meeting which
was held at the city hall last night,
and pledges doubling that amount
viii in all probability be shortly an
nounced, when a special committee of
thirty, which win be named today, Is
to get busy. Fifteen of this commit
tee will be ladies, who will not let
slip any opportunity to get aid for the
suffering Jews of Poland, while the
other fifteen will be men, who, how
ever, win not confine their efforts to
the city limits. 1t may be safe to say
that the contribution from Pensacola
will equal that Of any city Of its size
in any part of the United States, ii
the sentiment prevailing at last
nights meeting may be taken as any
criterion.
This was the mass meeting, called
in response to the proclamation Of
the president Of the United States,
who, furnished with the resolutions SO
passed by the senate Of the United
States, called upon the liberty-lovirig
and carbohydrates American peo-
pie to open their hearts and render
aid to suffering millions throughout
Poland.
TYPICAL RESPONSE. 4
The response last night was but
typical of Pensacolians when called
upon to aid the needy-help the help
less. II was the first time in the his
tory of the city, perhaps, when a
movement was so universally en-
dorsed. Seated within the railing in
the council room were: Father Ken
nedy, of the Sacred Heart Catholic
church; Rev. d. p. Slaughter, of the
First Methodist church; Rev. Mr..
Rice, of the Gadsden Street Metho-
dist church; Secretary W. p Cunning
ham of the Young Mems Christian
Association; Rev. John III. Brown,
rector of Christ Episcopal church;
Rev Mr.. Skottowe, of st. Katherine's
Episcopal church; DR.. VIM. Acker-
man, of Temple Bethel. Attending
the meeting and sitting in the audi
ence were several other ministers,
Rev. Mr.. Reinhardt of the German
Lutheran church, who suggested in
the appointment Of committee TO
look after collections after adjourn
ment of the mass meeting that the
ladies be represented on the personnel
of such committee.
1t appeared that creed was forgot
ten. Everyone present seemed imbued
with the thought as expressed by the
president of the United States, that
the suffering Jews be extended con-
crete aid, and people who were pres
ent had that thought uppermost in
their minds. The council chamber was
welI-flled with ladies and gentlemen,
and when contributions were called
for, Mrs. Adolph Greenhut, on be-
half of the Hebrew Ladies' Benevo-
lent Association arose, and said, that, |
on behalf of the association of noble |
ladies she represented, she wished TO |
offer a contribution of 800. That
was the beginning, for other sums
were pledged from all parts Of the
house, and came so fast that the sec
rotary could hardly take the names

WOOD MAY BE SHERWOOD.
If This Is True the Bellows Falls Lord
Bomtiful Has Long Career as a
Criminal.

Richard c. Wood, who claimed to be
of RoXbury, Mass, when applying for a
marriage license, but who is unknown
at the address he gave, was taken to
Concord, n. H., Thursday, Oct. 10, from
Walpole, N. H., by United States
Commissioner Burns p. Hodgman
charged with raising postal money
order from 81 to $1,000. He pleaded
not guilty and was held in 81 900 to
await action by the grand jury.
Wood was married in Bellows Falls
on Oct. II to Miss Marion Knowles
of Fall River, Mass, and celebrated
the event by purchasing a great va
riety of wedding goods from local
stores. He showed the money order to
the manager of hotel in Walpole,
where he was entertaining at dinner
his bride and all the Bellows Falls
people with whom he had become ac-
quainted as basis of obtaining
credit, but the hotel man was suspi
cious and consulted the local postmas
ter.
The result was Wood 8 arrest.
Wood says that his wife was born
in Fall River, that her address is 574
Globe street. His address is the Fal-
mouth Restaurant, Falmouth, Mass.
Capt. Ainsley c. Armstrong Of the Bos-
ton Bureau of Criminal Investigation is
sure he has solved the identity of
of Wood
Capt. Armstrong believes the young man
is Richard c. sherwood, and that the rec
ord at headquarters of check "kiting,
forging and uttcrng, running up hotel
bills in Boston and other nearby centeTs,
and then skipping, was really made by
this newlywcd.
There is a picture in the Boston Rogues
Gallery and a Bertillon record which tally
with the telegraphed description of Wood
or sherwood.
The young man came into contact witt
the Boston police on April p, 1914 but il
is known that he served prison terms il
Canada before that date. Then he was
bon vivant of the Copley-Plaza, where
his bill remains unpaid. A few weeks lat
er he was arrested in IIyannis for forging
check for $7j to pay bills for automobile
hire Sentenced to the Barnstable Jail TO
six months, he tried to escape, and wa
transferred to the New Bedford Jail
On Nov. 4, 1914, upon his release, h,
was tried in Boston on the charge of de
fraudine the Copley-Plaza and served tw'
months in the house of correction.
In the municipal court on Aug 81
1915, Isherwood, who had been arrested il
Wrentham, was arraigned on charge O
stealing watch. coat, hat and other proT
erty of John +. Glover. a Nantaske
garage proprietor. For this he served
year at Deer Island.
