100 Ships Reach Port
On Atlantic This Week

:, AN ATLANTIC PORT. April ID
More than 100 merchant and passenger
shlps have reached this port within The
last week, most of them having come me
successfully through the U-boat dan
ger zone thrown about the Continent
and the British Isles. Twenty-six Of
tne vessels came in yesterday, making
hlghwater mark for shipping arriving
a. at TINS port within recent months Last
Thursday. fleet of twenty-one made
to-day. ~
While the figures include the arrivals
OF OF coastwise traders and ships in the
noutnern S traffic; they indicate decided
lessening Of U-boat efficiency. Big pas
senger ships are able to travel back
and forth across the ooeen lanes, on
almost regular schedules, often without
even sighting periscope. On their
few encounters with thu foe, a few
shots from the liners gun make Fritz
depart in haste.
New-York tribune., 1918-04-25

the Republicans are united and har-
monious. The only problem of the
leaders is how to enroll the women
voters. In the absence of stirring
moral issue it is believed the woman
vote will be light. The Republican
leaders are watching the Democrats
closely. If the latter display activity
IN enrolling the women voters the Re-
publicans will Ego them one better"
The race for the state Senatorship is
an open one. The district includes
Tioga, Chemung, Schuyler and Tomp-
kins. Thus far Seymour Lowman, of
Elmira, is the only avowed candidate
among Republicans. Mr.. Lowman was
once defeated by John Murtagh, of Ell
mira.
Assemblyman Daniel P. Witter, of
Tioga County, can have a reelection if
he SO desires. He is regarded by the
farmers of the Southern Tier as per-
haps the most useful man in the As
sembly. He is chairman of the Com
mittee on Agriculture and has served
eight terms.
F. c. Hill, chairman of the Tioga
County Republican Committee, says
that the party is in good shape for the
fall campaign. He is an extensive
dairyman.
"Last FALL" said Mr.. Hill, "four-fifths
Of the farmers of Tioga County were
hostile to Governor Whitman on ac-
count of the township school law,
passed year ago. The repeal of the
law this year, and other things done at
the instance of the Governor in behalf
of the farmers, have wrought COM
p!cte change in feeling toward him.
suspect there are some soreheads still,
but they are principally Democrats.
The Republican farmers are back in
line"
Talk of Third Ticket
"Is there any talk among dairymen
about running third ticket with a
farmer for Governor?"
eyes, in the meetings of the dairy
mems leagues there is more or less
talk about it, but it costs lot of
money to run a state campaign, and
there are not many farmers who will
spend money for political purposes. If
Governor Whitman is a candidate he
stands to win both in the primaries and
later against Democrat"
William A. Smyth, of Owcgo, editor
of "The Owego Times" practically con-
firmed County Chairman Hill.
"You can't beat something with
nothing" said he. "The opposition to
Whitman does not seem to be able to
pick candidate of Governorship size
to oppose him in the primaries The
Governor is on the winning side on the
woman suffrage question, and probably
the new women voters will largely sup
port him. If the Democrats nominate
Hearst for Governor the Republicans
will have an easy time Of it,"

President to Give Reasons
to Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee
Sees Few Advantages
lntimation That Both Coun.
tries May Soon Cease To
Be Belligerents

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Definite
opposition to declaration Of war on
Bulgaria and Turkey at this time was
indicated by President Wilson TODAY
at conference with Senator King. Of
Utah, who recently introduced a reso-
luton calling for war with both coun-
tries.
Senator King sought the President's
views as result of the debate in the
Senate yesterday on a resolution bv
senator Brandegee, of Connecticut.
asking the Senate Foreign Relations
committee to take immediate action
on the King resolution.
Committee To Call on President
Senator King declined to discuss the
residents views, but from other Sena-
'ors II was learned that the President
was ready to present his information +o
the Senate with his reasons for onnos-
ing present action. Arrangements were
made for members of the Senate For
eLLsn helaIlons Committee to call upon
tne PRESIDENT very soon.
safety of Americans in Bulcar;s and and
turkey, particularly the latter. are
Understood to have prompted the Presi-
dents decision. There is reason -
nope, 1T was said, that both Turkey and
bulgarla may yet drop out as bel1irer-
cnts.
The administration was reported to
nave information that if it were pos
sioie, Iurkey. as we'll as Bulgaria,
away from the Central Powers. Manv
Americans also remain in the two coun-
tries, and difficulty has been encoun-
tered In inducing Americans in Turkey
leave. W
In view of these considerations. Soma
tors were advised that the President be-
lleves the technical advantage of for
ma! declaration of war with Turkey and
Bulgaria would not outweigh the ad
vantages which may later accure to the
Allies. ''o
President Ready to Disclose Reasons
SO earnest was the President re-
ported in his opposition to declara-
tlons OF war that he was said to bo
ready to give his reasons by personal
appearance either before the Senate
IN executive session or before the For
elgn Relations Committee. The Presi-
dent was said to be opposed. however.
to making public the information, and
arrangements therefore were made for
the committee to call on him.
After the Senators were informed of
the situation it was said that not one
OF the resolutions having to do with
the matter would be pressed in the
Senate or in committee.

Tax Investigation Begun

Prepare to meet the tax collector!
The Department of Internal Revenue
is sending its men throughout the city
to check up on those who have not
made returns on their tax liability.
Collector Edwards announced yester-
day that he had thirty men canvassing
certain districts, and expected to cover
the entire city before his spring drive
concluded.
So far, most of the evasions un-
earthed by the department have been
caused by ignorance of the law, Mr..
Edwards said. He cited one instance
where man having a $4,000 income
had made no tax return. This person.
ne said. had been informed by a notary
that he was not liable to taxation.
