EXCLUDED FROM
BRITAIN, LOSES
100000 SUIT
New York Liquor Dealer
Sought Damages for
Detention.

New York. March 1O.-Trial of the
dealer at 125 Lenox avenue, and own
er of the estates of the late Lord Lei
trim, in Ireland, for 100000 dam
ages from the International Mercan-
tile Marine Company, which took
place before Judge Manton in the
United States District Court, resulted
in a verdict in favor Of the defendant
steamship company.
Provided with a passport from the
State Department in October 1915,
O'Connor went to England as a sec
ond cabin passenger on the Ameri-
can line steamship st. Louis. When
the vessel reached Liverpool Captain
John G.. Jamison was notified by Will
liam H. Norris, an aliens exclusion Of
ficer, that on instructions from the
British Home Office O'Connor would
not be permitted to land in England.
Because of this warning Captain
Jamison took no chances of O'Connor' S
escape and for eight hours while the
ST. Louis lay at her pier he kept the
excluded passenger licked in the con-
tagious disease hospital ward. Later
O'Connor was given the freedom of
the ship, but was under guard.
O'Connor, who said he started for
Ireland to order cutting of timber on
his lands, charges there had been a
breach of contract by the steasmhip
company, that his health had been i'm
paired by his detention and that he
had been financially injured.

Must Feed People
If War Is to Go On,
Socialist Asserts

The Hague, March 10-Further ex-
tract4 from the speech of the So
cfalist deputy Herr Hofer during the
sensational food debate in the Prus-
sian diet are printed in the Berlin
Vorwaerts. The paper quotes Herr
Hofer as saying:
'tThe government vacil1ates between
fear of the agrarians and fear of the
masses, like reed in the Wind
If you insist on carrying on war you
must see that the people are ade-
quately fed. Does it not suffice
for the government to incur the ha-
tired of the whole world, or do they
also want revolution at home. The
people have been fed on fine words
for long enough; we demand Deeds
The Vorwaerts says that Herr Ho-
fer frequently was cheered. Elsewhere
the paper says that latterly it has
received numerous complaints of the
poor quality and Indifferent prepara-
ton of the food supplied in the popu-
lar food kitchens at midday and de-
c1ares that the evening meals in these
places are unfit for consumption. The
Vorwaerts asks what will be the con-
dition- in summer if this is the case in
the present cold weather.

GERMAN PAPERS
PAY H0N0RS TO
COUNT ZEPPELIN

Berlin, March iowa London)-
The Berlin press is filed with reviews
of the life and achievements of Count
Zeppelin, who shared with Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg the honor of "a
tio-al popE-aris~.
The obituary notices recall the de-
votion of Count Zeppelin to the real
tzation of his dream, which was not
only manifested in matchless perse-
Fverance but also in the sacrifice OF
his private fortune. The papers re-
call the emperor's tribute to the
count on his 18th birthday, when he
termed him the greatest man Of the
Goth century"
Count Zeppelin was sick for less
than two weeks and the immediate
cause OF his death was pneumonia.
His death shroud in his favortte Uhlan
uniform, in which he was best known
to the public. OF the long list of
orders and decorations which were
conferred on him he was probably
proudest Of the Iron Cross, which he
won in 1870. The massive oak and
metal casket in which he will be bur-
led was sealed this 4fternoon and
taken to Stuttgart, where the funeral
will take place.

realizes that 1t lacks a working ma
jority," and little, if any, partisan leg
islation can be put through the House
within the next two years. For cam
paign purposes the Repub1icans-or
at least some Of the more outspoken
members-would prefer that the Dem
ocrats should retain only partial con-
troll in order that the party shall not
be held responsible for what occurs
in the House.
Altogether the situation is with out
precedent, and, in the language Of one
of the perturbed Democratic leaders
today, anything may happen when
we come to organize the House," A
bipartisan arrangement liz not out OF
the range Of possibility.
Measures to Be Pressed.
The Congress that ended with the
filibuster last Sunday left on its cal
endars many measures besides appro-
priation bills which the Admlnlstra-
ton probably will press again at the
coming session.
Appropriation bills which failed in
cluded the army, sundry civil, general
deficiency, and military academy
bills, carrying altogether more than
$500, 100000. General legislation,
urged by the President included an
act to supplement the Adamson rail-
road law, enlargement of the inter-
tate commerce comission, conserva-
ton laws, including a general dam
and water power bills, the Webb bill
to legalize joint foreign selling agen-
cies, and a land leasing bill.
III 1S
that failed had gone through the old
House, they must go through the new
one again and must take the usual
course through proper committees.
These committees cannot be named
until the House itself is organized;
and no matter how willing the House
may be to line up behind the Presi-
dent these preparatory steps will take
time.
Unless there are radical changes in
the measures that the House re-
passes, little time need be lost in the
Senate. The work already done by
it's committees has gone into the Of
fetal waste basket, but the commit
tees will remain practically unchang-
ed and measures already considered
can receiv formal attntion i'll short
order, once they come from the
House. The appropriation bills must
be passed by July 1, when the federal
fiscal year ends.
On general legislation the PRESIDENT
may encounter serious opposition.
There are several bills on the program
which did not meet kindly reception
in the Senate committees when taken
up before, which are certain to lead
to vigorous fights when they arc
brought to the floor.

Miss Davis Denies
Charges of Cruelty

New York, March 10.-Dr. Rather
inc B. Davis, chairman Of the Parole
Board, replied yesterday to Mrs. Mar
garet Sanger's charges Of cruelty and
heartlessness in the treatment of the
women inmates Of the Queens County
Jail by denying that Mrs. Sanger had
ever met her, and saying that she did
not believe there was resentment on
the part Of the women against her,
as that was not the case with the girls
of the Bedford Reformatory who
came to see her in many cases after
their release. Miss Davis did not deny
speaking sharply to some Of the pris-
oners she questioned, but explained
that the women attempted to deceive
her with stories of misfortune when
their situation was attributable to their
own acts.
eff the case to which Mrs. Sanger
refers Of the young girl whose moth
er's heart was broken because our
investigation acquainted her with the
girls arrest and Imprisonment, is the
one have in mind said Miss Davis,
''the mother had been made i'll by the
girls lon neglect, not because we sent
some one to find out about her. We do
send out investigators to find out
about the women, and this makes the
professional criminals dislike the in
determinate sentence and the Parole
law. They do not like the complete
investigation to which it subjects their
past
Miss Davis added that she had now
nothing to do with the administration
of the Jail, and that that was now in
the hands of Burdette G. Lewis, Com
missioner of Correction. She agreed
that there should be better provision
for industrial education, but said this
would be subsidiary to a scheme of
study and segregation of the women
who are now indiscriminately convict
ed whether they are feeble-minded or
of normal mentality.

Socialists of Allied
Nations Are at Odds

Paris, March 1o@The conference
Of Socialists of the Allied countries
which was to take place in Paris
from March 1 s to Is, has been aban-
doned as a result Of the refusal of
the British labor party and a great
part Of the Russian and Italian So
cialists to participate.
The heads Of the British Socialist
party vigorously protested against the
holding Of the conference on the
ground that it would give an oppor-
unity to the pacifist Socialist minor
ty to create a possible schism in the
;ocialist ranks.

Republicans 215. Democrats FLA, Pro-
hibitionists, Progressive, Progressive
Protectionist, Socialist and Independ-
ent one each; vacancy in Democratic
district, one. Republican and Demo-
cratic leaders declare they will have
support from enough Of the so-called
Independent group to control the or
ganization, but there is considerable
talk of a coalition organization.
The new Senate is Democratic by a
majority of IL. Speaker Clark be-
lieve Congress will find so much work
before it that it will continue in ses-
sion until August, 1913.
Appropriation legislation which
must be passed before July 1 includes

Phillip Da Ronde, Of the Oriental

their detection. easier
Newcombe Carleton, president Of
