nation declaring subjects Of the Dual
Monarchy enemy aliens, hundreds oil
Austrians working on piers and har-
bor craft and in factories within the
Toward barred zone were thrown out
OF employment yesterday. Most OF the
employers acted on their own initla-
tive. In many cases where soldiers are
guarding the piers, the dismiSsals
were made at the request of the mill
tary authorities.
A conference was held at Ellis ISL
and By Federal officials during the day
at which plans were laid for the hand
ling OF the Austrian situation which
will develop when the Presidential

BROOKLYN. and Richard Taylor, head

Scores Of the discharged Austrians

Carthy, United States marshal, or
called at his office. All who called
were received personally. Az one time
there were fifteen men from one Of the
Chelsea piers. All have lived here for
years and have reared families here.
In answer TO why they had not taken
out citizenship papers, most OF them
said they never thought OF it.
Most Of them said they had been
promised Jobs outside the barred zone,
provided that they could get a letter
from Marshal Mccarthy saying it would
be all right to engage them. Each man
got the desired letter.
One Austrian, giant. who speaks
perfect English and IS truck driver

Murphy Favors Closed Town

Following the first conference
Wednesday with the District Attorney,
Judge Hyan issued "a note of warning
to gamblers and other disorderly per-
sons that they could not hope for any
loosening Of the laws after January /.
Charles F. Murphy and other Tammany
leaders are said to be in sympathy
with the strictly "closed town" idea
which the new Mayor evidently intends
to follow out.
Mr.. Murphy's close friends declare
that he never has been in favor of a
wide open city" and now, more than
at any other time, is anxious for the
incoming Tammany administration to
improve the opportunity to "be good"
Il is said that the word has been
passed to Judge Hylan from the organ
ization itself TO make a sDecial effort
along these lines. The leaders look
upon the present opportunity OF Tam
many to 90 straight as a political ex-
pediency. They feel that If they can
convince the people that Tsmmany is
not a. bad rs it has been painted, the
Democratic regime in the city govern
ment may be able to continue for eight
years, instead Of four.
The District Attorney, previous TO
his visit to the Mayor-elect, made it
plain that his campaign against sala-
cious cabarets and theatrical perform
ances is going TO be an earnest one.

District Attorneys visited some of the

 SICK, C0NSTIPATED
Best for liver and bowels, bad breath, bad colds, sour
 stomach.

Get l. 10-cent box.
 Sick headache, biliousness, coated tongue, head and nose clogged up with a cold-always trace this to torpid liver; delayed. fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
 Poisonous matter clOgged in the in- testines. instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes cOnges- tion and dull, throbbing, sickening headache.
 Ccscarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour undigested food and foul gases take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels
 A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep-a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear. stomach sweet, breath right. complexion rosy and your liver and bowels regular for months.

GERMANY URGES OLD TREATIES REAFFIRMED BY U. s. AMBASSADOR
Gerard Refers Matter to Swiss and Spanish Represents tives and Prepares for His Trip Home.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

BERLIN, via London, Feb. S.-The German foreign office last night asked James w. Gerard, the American am bassador, to sign a proposal reaffirm ing the treaties of 1799 and 1928. The ambassador referred the government officials to Spanish and Swiss inter mediaries.
 The treaties have reference to the rights of nationals residing as mer chants in either country to continue their residence there for nine months for the purpose of closing up their business.
 Mir. Gerard explained to Count Montgelas, head of the American sec ticn of the foreign offiffice. who pre- scented the proposition to him, that he was no longer in a position to nego tiate any diplomatic instrument Spain having taken over American ir. terests in Germany He suggested that a way open for negotiations was through the Swiss legation which is representing German interests at Washington.
 The matter is of decided importance to Americans in Germany, since the German governments course toward them, particularly on the question of permission to leave the country, will be materially affected by the Ameri- can governments view on these old treaties between Prussia and the United States.
 Ambassador Gerards refusal to en- ter into any sort of negotiations with the German foreign office is approved by the state department as the only possible course for him to pursue in view of his status of a private citizen.
 Any communication from the Ger man government regarding a treaty or any other subject would have to be carried out through the Spanish or Swiss diplomatic representatives in Berlin who are looking after the in terests Of Americans in Germany.

TRIANGLE ACTRESS
 RiDS SELF OF JELLY FISH BY NEW METHOD
Louise Glaum, Who Appears
 at Orpheum This Evening in Wolf Woman" Has a Novel Scheme of Her Own.

A new wrinkle for the humiliation and elimination of "mashers" has been devised and demonstrated by Louise Glaum, Triangle vampire actress, who in the brief period of year has risen to the rank of star. Miss Giaum tested the plan during the filming re- gently of The Wolf Woman" which appears tonight at the Orpheum, the play by C. Gardner Sullivan in which Thomas Il. Ince presents her as CO., star with Charles Ray, and it proves merit to the complete satisfaction of all beholders.
 Between scenes which were being made at one of the beach resorts near Culver City Miss Glaum was strolling along the boardwalk Presently a dandy" of the "jelly-ish" type ap- preached and made a desperate at tempt to draw her into conversation. For a brief moment Miss Glaum hesi tated as to what to do. A walk to mind, but she dismissed this method after some reflection.
 Suddenly she hit upon the new plan. Turning abruptly toward her annoyer, she stared at him surprisingly. con veying the impression that she was deaf. Then she gesticulated with her fingers as if to notify the pest that she was a mute. He persisted in his attentions, however, evidently endeav- bring to think of a scheme whereby he might still gain the acquaintance of the actress.
 Soon Miss Glaum observed Charles Ray, Howard Hickman and some of the other men from the studio stand ing in a group. She led the 'masher" directly into the crowd and suddenly exclaimed as though bored to death:
 Boys, will you please rid me of this thing It's been following me for ten minutes,"
 The thing" turned and fled.

LEAK" PROBE IS
 RAPIDLY FIzzLING

 Hearsay of a Child.
tBy Review Leased Wire )

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Another promised sensation in the leak" in quiry fiattened out today with the lang awaited testimony of Mrs. Ruth Thomson Visconti, the mysterious in formant on whose statements Thomas w. Lawson based some of his most dramatic charges.
 Declining to say publicly who told her that Secretary Tumulty and w. w. Price, a White House correspond ent, profited by advance information on the peace note, Mrs. Fisconti re- vealed to the Investigating committee in confidence that all her information came from remarks of Prices young daughter.
 Immediately afterward Price took the stand, reiterated his denial of pro- ! fitting by information obtained in con | hdence and said he had reason 10 be- lieve the rumor repeated by Mrs. Wis conu started from chance observations by members of his family that he could have so profited
 A crowd that jammed the committee room to hear the sensational resume of capital gossip which it had been reported Mrs. NiscOnti ight attempt to put into the record did not conceal its disappointment at the brevity ot her testimony. The few questions | asked her were confined sharply to rumors of leak and after she left the stand it was announced she would moi be recalled.
 Tonight congressional interest was definite feeling in the committee that another week probably would see its conclusion.
 i Another hearing will be held in
 New York Monday to receive reports | Of investigators who have examined
 brokerage records. but whether any
 sessions will follow the committees return here has not been disclosed.
 Mrs. Visconti refused on her con
 stitutional rights" to give the name
 of her informant but agreed to write
 1t on slip of paper. The committee
 considered the testimony in execu.
 tive session and the name Mrs. Wis.
 conti wrote was not made public. II
 was reported to be that of play.
