Points Raised by Counsel.

Henry Z. Davis had moved that the
commissioner do not extradite them at
the request of the New York authorities
basing his argument on the following
three points:
l. That the indictment returned
charges no offense against the United
States.
p That the Indictment does not suf-
flciently, or at all, allege an offense COM
mitted in the southern district of New
York, and,
8. That the indictment does not con-
tain allegations sufficient to show that
the defendants are probabl guilty of
the offense supposed to be charged, and
no testimony to that effect has been
given.
Commissioner Taylor held that the
three men named must appear for ar
raignment in New York at 10 am.
March Z, and directed that each be
held for the sum of $4,000 bail for his
appearance at that time.

Indictment Follows Investigation.

The indictment was returned as the
result Of federal grand jury's inves-
tigation of the activities of Labors
National Peace Council, in which. 1t IS
stated allegations were disclosed that
this organization was connected with
attempts to prevent munitions ship
ments to the allies in Europe. Repre-
sentative Buchanan of New York is
one of the others indicted, but some
time ago he elected to appear without
contesting. Franz Rintelen. now i'm
prisoned in England; David Lamar,
who has given bail; Frank S. Monet,
FORMER attorney general of Ohio, and
Jacob c. Taylor, president of Labor S
Peace Council. are the others.
Specifications Questioned.
The principal objections made at past
= hearings by Mr. Davis and by Mr..
Fowler, the latter one of the indicted
men, were upon what they termed the
"insuficiently" of the specifications set
forth in the Indictment. Commission
er Taylor, however, in his opinion,
stated that If these specifications do
not particularize sufficiently. the rem
edy will be in the United States court
in New York and not before United
States commissioner"
The alleged facts are either true or
false, ruled Commissioner Taylor. and. if
true, constitute a conspiracy in restraint
of trade sufficiently expressed for him to
override motion to discharge the de-
PENDANTS.
Mr.. Davis had argued that the preven-
ton of the coming into existence of the
subject of commerce cannot, in the mean
ing Of the statute, constitute a restraint
Of trade; claimed that the indictment.
furthermore, bore on its face no indica-
tvn fotk o.
charge an offense. and contended that il
the commissioner found no crime charged

y given BY Judge Murray Of the Boston
Municipal Court, showing what the
saloon can do in a licensed State.
Judge Murray said there were l,50O
cases of delirium tremens in Boston last
year, and the city has no suitable place
to take care of them. He said the
majority of these cases are taken to the
Boston Relief Station. and if the patients
become violent the physicians are COM
PEELED to strap them to prevent them
from injuring themselves or others. He
told the committee such methods often
bring on pneumonia and other diseases,
which prove fatal to the victims, and the
result is an economic loss to the commu-
nifty. To lend force to his argument,
Judge Murray declared there was $40 :
600, 600 spent for intoxicating liquor in
h massachusetts, last year; that there
were 1000 persons arraigned in Boston
on charges of drunkenness; that 300. 900
days of labor were lost, and that it cost
the commonYealth $500, 600 to maintain
those sent to Jail. R. T. NEWELL,

NEW YORK. Feb. 16. The republican
national campaign will be fought on de-
mands for adequate military prepared
ness and tariff reform, opposition to
granting early independence to the Philip
pines, AID insistence on vigorous stand
for American rights, both in Mexico and
in relation to the European war, accord
ing to the keynote" platform adopted
today by the Republican State conven-
ton.
The outlines of the platform, which
were approved unanimously, were pre-
sented last night IN speech of former
Senator Elihu Root. No difference of
opinion was apparent among the 1872 de-
legates to the convention in regard to the
platform, but bitter fight was precipi-
tated by the attempt of the supporters of
Governor Whitman to secure an unquali-
fed endorsement for his administration
and to force his nomination as chairman
OF the delegation to the national conven.
ton in Chicago.
The net result was that New York

SHIPBUILDING FALLS OFF
Decrease In the United States in Year
23,3O2 Tons.

Shipbuilding in the United States, in
terms of tons launched, fell off by %, 30G
tons in 1915 compared to the previous
year, according to the annual summary
compiled by Lloyd's Register of Ship
ping. The Lafollette Seamen's act is
supposed to be possible explanation.
The United Kingdom, tor obvious rea-
sons, shows decrease of 1,032,634 tons,
practically all in steel steamships; war
ship tonnage is not included.
The tonnage launched IN the United
States, excluding all vessels not intend
ed for merchant purposes, was III, 460,
including 12Sea-going steamers of from
5000 to 1000 tons each, and one collier of
about 11,00O tons put into service.
There were 1927 vessels totaling $50, $40
tons launched in the United Kingdom.
Of the worlds total, emitting incomplete
returns for all countries because of the
war, 85 Ia percent, amounting to 554, 300
tons, was for registration in the United
