BOYS CONFESS ID SETTING 6 SMALL. FIRES IN HOUSE
Could Give No Good Reason For Their Craze For
 Fires

As the result Of a quiet investiga- tion the police last night caught two small boys who have confessed re- which have occurre>, in a double house al 36 William street within the past two months. The youngsters gave no reason for their fire bug craze other than that they wanted their mother to move away from the house.
 The residence where the fires oc. cured is owned by Andrew MackeI. and is occupied by George Mosher and a family by the name of Green wood. For a long time the owner and tenants were mystifed by the numerous fires which have broken out in the building. but suspicion finally reverted to the children. The young sters at first denied that they had started any of the hlazes. but after being questioned by the police admit ted that they were the guilty par ties.
 The first fire of the series was dis covered in q kitchen on September 5. Two more, one a mattress blaze, broke out on October 30 Yesterday morning fremen eXtinguished 3 lively blaze under the attic floor. and yes- terday afternoon the department was again called out to queuch a small blaze in the same house. None of the fires caused any considerable damage, and it is unlikely that the iremen will be called to S6 William street again for some time.

WILSON WILL GIVE TREATY VIEWS ID
 SEN. HITCHCOCK
KNOX INTRODUCES ANOTHER BLANKET RESERVATION-LA TOILETTE AGAIN ATTACKS PRESIDENTS COURSE IN
 NEGOTIATING TREATY.

Washington, Nov. 6-(By the Associated Press)-Presi- dent Wilson's views on reser- vations to the treaty of Yer sailles will be given to Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. the ad- ministration leader at the White House, within the next day or two. Secretary Tumul- Ity said today he was arranging with Rear Admiral Grayson the Presidents physician, for Mr. Hitchcock visit.
 The Nebraska senator plans to lay the entire treaty situation before the President and give him his opinions as to what reservations are likely tol receive tne support of a majority in the Senate.
 The President in turn will say what reservations will be acceptable to him. Mir Wilson has repeatedly said that no change in the treaty which would require it's renegotiation would be acceptable.
 When the treaty was taken up in the Senate today Senator Knox, Re publican, Pennsylvania, introduced a blanket reservation to release the United States from any obligation to be bound by decisions or recommend ations of the League of Nations. Sen atOr Knox said the purpose was to make this country a consulting men- ber' of the league.
 The reservation would give the United States the fullest and most complete liberty of action; in regard to league affairs, with the sole right to deternline it's own relations and duties and course of action
 It also would claim an uncondi- tional right of withdrawal, and would make ratification of the treaty de- pendent on affirmative acceptance Of the reservation by the other powers within 60 days.
 Denying reports that he would sup port the Gore amendment for refer endum before any declaration Of war, Senator Myers, Democrat, Montana told the senate when he said he would vote for "the pending amendment yesterday, he referred to the, La Toilette labor amendment, although that measure was not formally under considera ton at the time.
 Senator LaFoIlette, Republican Wisconsin, resumed the attack begun yesterday on President Wilson's courss in negotiating the treaty.

IF BAN LIFTS
 SALOONS GAN
 OPEN AT ONCE
This Applies to Dealers Who Have Applications
 On File

Hartford, Nov. 6-Many of those who have applications pending have shown an interest on account of the feeling that the wartime prohibition ban will be soon lifted, and, in view of this they called on the commits sioners and have asked in reference to the licenses There is no cause, however, for any of the applicants to worry, because, should the wartime prohibition ban suddenly be lifted the commissioners are of the opinion that all dealers who have applications on file. would have the legal right te open their places and immediately be- gin the sale of liquor. even though the physical licenses for which they have applications pending were not delivered to them.
 In discussing the situation yester- day the commissioners said that their belief was that a man who has an ap- plication on file would be Justified and he would have a legal right to open and engage in the sale of liquor in case of a sudden lifting, or re- rnoval of the wartime prohibition feature, as they have acted in good faith by the filing of their applica- tions and bonds. If, for instance, ia ordinary times, anything happened on day preceding the day on which the commissioners had planned to issue licenses, by which the licenses were destroy d, It would be unrea- sonable te hold, they say, that a man who had filed his application and bond in good faith could not continue business, but would have to close until the commissioners had a new batch of license forms printed. Also in the case of remonstrances. If an appeal is taken from the decision O. the commissioners as to an estab- lished dealer, be the appeal from the decision taken by the applicant, or by the remaustrants. the applicant has the right by the law, to sell un- der his old license, even though the term for which it was issued has eX- pired, until the appeal is decided by the superior court.

New York, Nov. 6-tBy the As sociated Press)-The strike of 10000 longshoremen, which has tied up port activities here for several weeks, ap- peared to have been broken today. The deciding factor, was the surren- der of the "insurgent strikers" who promised Mayor Hylan yesterday they would return today at the old rate of pay, pending a decision from the national adjustment commission for a re-hearing.
 The insurgents, who at one time claimed more than 2e,0OO members of the longshoremen's union, broke with the international officers during the strike. The international officials steadfastly refused to authorize the strike and endeavored to induce the men to return.

Dl'ys Victory Estimate
 Placed Far Too HiQIl
UNOFFICIAL RETURNS FROM 59 COUNTIES SHOWED WET MAJORITIEs ON ALL
 FOUR PROPOSALS

Columbus, O.. Nov. 6-(By The As sDciated Press)-Late returns today from Tuesdays prohibition election in Ohio seemed to shatter the election night prediction of Secretary of State Smith that the drys had carried the four prohibition proposals voted upon by majorities ranging as high as 75,- 900.
 Unofficial returns from 59 counties, including all of the wet centers and big cities, showed wet maiorities on all four proposals, and unusually large wet majorities against the Crabbe prohibition enforcement act and ratification or national prohibi- ton.
 Easing his assertion on late off cial returns from 39 counties, Secre- tary Smith said first dry victory esti- mates had been much too high. The state dry headquarters this morning admitted the probable defeat of the Crabbe bill, said the vote was very close on ratification, but insisted that the repeal of statewide prohibition and PTS per cent. beer amendments had been defeated by large votes L. H. Gibson, wet campaign manager. declared the Crahbe act overwheIn- ing defeated and ratification decisive ly so.
 Fairly complete unofficial returns from 59 of the 8S counties gave the vets a lead of 14,000 on the repeal amendment, of 27,000 on the beer proposal. of 5000 on ratification and of 7S,00O on the Crabbe bill.
 The missing 29 counties last year gave drys majority of 32,0OO, enough to wipe out leads on the re- peal and beer amendments. In order to overcome the wet lead of 4S,0Oo or ratification, however, election experts point out that the drys would have to gain 16,0O0 in the missing counties over last year. To overcome the wet lead Of 5000 on the Crabbe act was regarded by the experts as inn possible

 FROM SHORTAGE.

Chicago, Nov. 6-(By the As sociated Press)-The dispute between bituminous coal oper- ators and union miners which resulted in virtual cessation of production throughout the country last Friday night con- tinued deadlocked today with leaders of both producers and miners agreed that the refusal of the department of justice to withdraw the injunction pro- ceedings against officers of the United Mine Workers of Amer lea had swept away hope of immediate settlement of the strike.

 Six passenger trains had been re- moved from service in the middle west, and Federal Fuel Administra- tor Garfield had been clothed with full authority over prices, distribu- 4ion and shipment of fuel.
