ONE OF THE SAMPLE PROBLEMS

New York World-Danzig, which is
said to have been occupied for Poland
by 1000 troops, is a fair sample OF
many insoluble problems that will
confront the Versailles peace congress
and advisory bodies. Danzig was an
old German Hanse town. It became
Polish, and in 300 years acquired and
held a strong Polish character. For
more than 100 years it has now been
rtnssian. Behind Danzig a solid belt
of Polish country. extends to the heart
of Poland. East of that belt an equal

CHARGE AGAINST
CALVIN SIGNED
BY POLICEMEN
Claim He Freed z Persons Be-
ing Watched by Other Officers
SIX AFFIDkVITS ADDED
Burns Detective Also Figures
in Case-Promlses to be
Sensational

Charges against Roundsman Will
liam CalvN that he set free two
persons whom other members of the
local police force were watching prior
to acting in the matter, were pre-
ferred against that officer In q letter
which came before the Board of
Aldermen last night for their consid-
Grafton. The matter was referred to
the police committee and hearing
will be given Roundsman Calvin
shortly by that committee in order
that his side of the case might be
heard.
The matter was brought before the
board by Mayor Frank Dorsey who
in return had received the report in
the matter from Chief Of Police
Patrick J. Burke. The letter which
explained the situation was accom-
panied by six affidavits, five being of
members Of the local police force and
one, Burns detective, swearing to
the truth of the statements made in
the letter.
According to the letter, which was
read to the Aldermen, the event which
started the actions occurred in King
street building on the night of Nov.
10. The writer of the letter was the
husband of the woman in the case and
the other man implicated in the mat
ter was employed in the building
about which the case centered.
1t seems that the husband, seeking
evidence against his wife, had hired
q Burns detective to watch her. On
this particular night both the husband
and detective were watching the King
street building when Patrolman Sea-
man was called and asked to open the
door of the building. This he said he
could not do without a search war
rant.
A complication OF actions followed,
consisting of more officers arriving
while eothers left to secure key to the
building from the owner. In the
meantime, the letter says RoundsmaIl
Calvin was told of the affair by Pa
trolman Seaman, and the roundsman
came to the building, opened the door,
allowed the man and woman who
were inside to go free and then told
the other officers to beat II" accord
ing to the charges
Roundsman Calvin, the letter states
after letting out the man and woman,
boasted to other officers of his action
in letting free these patrons whom
the other officers were watching. The
officers mentioned in the letter as
having been present at different
times during the four hours watch
was kept on the building were: De-
tectives Joseph Gutowski, William
Hartman, Patrolmen Egan, William
Seiboth and Seaman.
This letter, together with other re-
ports on the case and the affidavits
of the policemen involved, were re-
ferred to the police committee for in
vestigation.
The date for Roundsman Calvin's
hearing has not been announced as
yet. The officer has been on the To-
cal force for many years and has been
president of the State Policemen's
Benevolent Association. On several
occasions members of the local force
have been up on charges preferred by
Roundsman Calvin.

BOARD
EXPLAINS MOVE
TO7 CENT FARE
Receipts Under Zone Plan Not
Sufficient, IS Claim
FOR Co TO Be KEPT SOLVENT
Bankruptcy of Public Utility
Always Followed by Adverse
Conditions

TRENTON, Dec. 2:-"It Is evident
that the company's receipts under
the zone plan are not sufficient for it
to remain solvent" was the declara-
ton here today of the Public Utility
Commission in making public its
reasons for permitting the Public
Service Railway Company to go back
to the straight seven cent fare with
one cent more for each initial trans
fer.
THE bankruptcy of an important
public utility is always accompanied
by adverse conditions which affect
not only investors in its securities but
the public served by It," continued
the report of the board.
That a public utility may remain
solvent is not controlling fixing its
charges but the board cannot with
the knowledge that bankruptcy would
likely result, insist upon a rate unless
1t clearly appears that the rate Is
just and reasonable and should be
imposed without regard to its effect
upon the securities of the company,
the report added.
The utility commissioners express re-
gret that it has been compelled for the
time being at least to abandon the
principle of zone fares. 1t states that
neither a sufficient or fair trial Of
plan under the existing rates has been
had, nor is it practicable under pres
ent conditions The trial, however, has
been costly alike to the company as
well as to the principle involved.
''By it's calculations, the company
shows that under the present plan
with tho present rates at the end of
present year it will have an actual
operating loss of $750,OOO after the
payment of fixed charges and taxes
exclusive of any sum WHAT'S ever for
depreciation reserve
The Board then states it Is evident
neither rate under the zone plan has
yielded as much as the fiat fare of
seven cents would have yielded had
it been continued in effect.
The company officials believe they
can pull through until the final deter
mination whole fare question by being
allowed to return to the fiat rate"
says the decision.

PRISON EMPLOYEES ASK
INCREASE In SALARY


TRENTON, Dec. 2-Wages for the
staff of officers at the New Jersey
state prison have not been adjusted
to be commensurate with the In
creased eost of living expense, de-
clares c. w. Huntington, president of
the local board of managers of that
institution in his part of the annual
state prison report made public to-
day. I'VE feel that the loyalty of
the employees in our institution, who
stuck to their posts during the war
period when the demand for workers
at wages far in excess of what we
have been able to offer increased
daily, should be recognized, and thus
rewarded" declares the report.
While there was no adjustment
made in the old wage scale for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1919,
there has been since that time, be-
ginning November /, 1919, twenty
five per cent. bonus granted to off,
GERS and employees in the prison re-
ceiving $1,000 per annum or less, and
those receiving more than $1,000
were allowed a bonus or increase de-
cided upon in accordance with civil
service regulations.

U.S. DELEGATES
DEFER SAILING
Change In Plans Due to Failure
Of Germans to Sign
su The Associated Press.

PARIS, Dec. 2.-The American
delegation to the peace conference,
which was to have sailed from Brest
for the United States, December 6, has
postponed its departure for home, 1t
was learned this afternoon.
A considerable part of the person
mel Of the peace mission, however,
will leave Paris for Brest on the
evening of December s, as previously
arranged.
1t Is learned from high authority
that the change In the plans of the
delegation is due TO the failure of
the Germans to sign the protocol rat
flying the peace treaty.
1t is pointed out that if the treaty
is not ratified the situation between
Germany and the United States, as
well as the other allied and associat-
ed powers, goes back to the status
created by the armistice.
Hence, the United States is still
quite as much interested as it's asso-
ciates of the allied powers despite
the fact that the senate has not rati
fed the treaty.
Whatever the date which the
American delegation may decide up
on for leaving France, 1t was affirm
ed today on excellent authority that
such arrangement will be made for
the representation Of the United
States in the further negotiations
that Germany will find all the allied
and associated powers working to-
gether to resist any effort on her part
to avoid making the peace treaty ef-
fective, according to the terms of the
treaty.
UItimatum Not Public.
Roumania's reply to the ultimatum
of the supreme council, demanding a
specific setting forth of Roumania's s
attitude has not yet been made pub
lie. 1t is known that a long telegram
was received by the council today
from Bucharest 1t was accompan-
led by a report that the Roumanisn
cabinet had resigned
The supreme council, with Premier
Clemenceau presiding today, refused
the Jugo-Slav request for the coal
mines of PEGS, Hungary, leaving their
disposition to the Reparations Com
mittee.
German WarShips.
The council resumed examinat ton
of the distribution of the German
warships, hearing Georges Leygues,
French Minister of Marines. The prin-
ciple of general demolition of all the
German warships was maintained,
but France will receive ten subma-
rines in good condition as compensa-
ton for the warships she was unable
to construct during the war.
Discussion continued with regard
to the allotment of material result
ing from the demolition of the Ger
man ships.
Decision As To Fiume
The supreme council decided today
that the question of Fiume should
not be settled in the Hungarian peace
treaty but be reserved for final deci-
sion by the allied and associated
powers.
This eliminates any objections on
the part of either the Italians or the
Jugo-Slavs to signing the treaty.

BU 1he Associated PreSS-
CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Restricuons ON
the use of coal already put into effect
by regional coal committees, where
the pinch of necessity had been felt
today, were extended throughout the
nation under an order of the federal
fuel administrator.
The most extensive shutdown in his
tory of industries in prospect and
domestic consumers were preparing to
endure privation and discomfort as
the strike of the bituminous coal min
ers entered its second month.
Only in Kansas where Volunteers
worked in the striped pits under pro-
lection of state and federal troops and
in the New River fields OF West Vir-
glnia, was there prospect today Of in
creased production.
Throughout the remainder of the

remained steadfast in their detC1nlina-
ton not to return to work under the
fourteen percent wage increase, order
ed by the Federal government, and
acceded TO by the operators.
