held at midnight Wednesday at a place

thur Griffith, founder of the Sim
Fein organization. addressed 500 of
the delegates He said the Sim Fein
would not falter in its demand for a
republic in Ireland and would hold no

Mr.. Griffith added shat Eamon de

question would be leading issue in
the American Presidential contest.

President Is
Told of Vote
On Shantung
Improved Condition War.
rants Informing Him of
Amendments Rejection;
Passes a Restful Dav

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Further in
dlcatlon of the steady improvement in
the condition of President Wilson, who
to-day entered the fourth week Of his
illness, was given tonight in the state
ment by White House officials that
the vote on the Shantung amendment
to the peace treaty was impaired to
him within a few minutes after the
Senate rollcall.
The President earlier in the day, it
was learned, was advised that an i'm
portant vote in the Senate peace
treaty controversy was near. AS the
news did not seem to worry him, Rear
Admiral Grayson, his personal physi-
clan, gave permission for the sending
of the vote to the sickroom when re-
corded. Secretary Tumulty received
the news of the vote at the White
House Immediately after announce
ment by the Senate teliers and sent
it to the Presidents room, where it
was given to him by his nurse, Mrs.
Wilson having left his bedside for a
few minutes.
He TeSlueHC was reported TO nave
had fairly satisfactory" day and a
restful night. He did not suffer last
night or to-day from the swelling of
the gland which caused discomfort the
last two days.
Mr.. Wilson'S physicians, however,
still maintain that complete rest must
be accorded him for some time So
uncertain is the date on which the
President may be permitted to see
visitors that there is doubt about the
visit of the royal Belgian family to
Washington, which has been fixed for
October "a.
1t had been planned to have King
Albert, Queen Elizabeth and Prince
Leopold as the personal guests Of the
President and Mrs. Wilson at the
White House during their stay in
Washington. DR.. Grayson was unable
to state to-day whether the Presidents
condition would be sufficiently i'm
proved by the end Of the month to
greet the royal personages. 1t is be-
lieved certain, however, that the visit
in Washington will be cut short and
that only the most formal entertain
ment will be accorded the visitors be-
cause Of the Presidents illness.
Affairs demanding Mr.. Wilson's at
tention are still being showed into
other channels, as was the prohibition
enforcement act, which was sent to-
day to the Attorney General for con-
sideration before executive action is
taken.

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. - Out of a
situation so tangled that early to-day
the most optimistic scarcely hoped to
Conference tomorrow may ride through
to agreement on the most vital question
IN the whole programme of contentious
between capital and labor--thc ques-
tion of collective bargaining
For to-day the steel strike issue was
submerged by the parent proposition,
and the manner in which the steel case
will be decided hinges on the decision
on the issue placed before the confer
ence this afternoon, when the report
on collective bargaining came in.
Developments of a Day
To-day was the first on which the
conference has indulged in open debate
on a question of principle. These were
the major developments, which came
piling over each other during an after
noon of suspense:
The committee of fifteen reported
on a resolution approving collect
i've bargaining with the public and
labor representatives on the com
mittce favoring it and the employers
representatives opposing it.
On motion of Matthew Woll, sec
onded by l.. +. Shepperd, calling for
adoption Of the majority report, the
issue was thrown open for debate.
John d. Rockefeller, jr., avowing
himself representative Of the pub
lie, opened the debate with a lengthy
prepared statement favoring the re-
port and lining up on the issue with
organized labor.
Employers in debate declared fixed
opposition to the resolution, but to-
night are reported as weakening,
with the possibility of agreement
with the resolution tomorrow. From
them came motion to send the re-
port back to committee.
Judge Gary Absent
Judge Ebert II. Gary was absent
| in Washington. He left at o'clock
tonight for New York, probably not
TO return until Monday.

strong. Labor'e delegation attempted
by motion to suspend the rules to

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.--The Sham
tung Misunderstanding the German
concessions to China instead of Japan
was defeated in the Senate to-day
by vote Of 55 to 35. Two Senator's
were paired for it, and two against,
while two Senators against it were
absent without pairs making the total
strength SO against the amendment to
81 for it. Thus four more than enough
Senators to reject the treaty voted
or were paired for the Shantung
amendment.
Developments Of the day which were
considered more important in actual
effect than the Shantung vote was the
disclosure that Senator Hale of Maine
would certainly vote against the john
son Misunderstanding the United
States an equal vote with the British
Empire in the league assembly--while
Senators Sterling and Kellogg created
vote against it, although they did not
say so positively. Both Senators
Sterling and Kellogg declined TO COM
nit themselves positively as to bow
they would vote on the johnson amend
ment, when asked about this point
after their speeches.
Johnson Amendment Doubtful
The detection of Senator Hale, how
ever, destroys the apparent majority
of two which the Johnson amendment
has enjoyed for the last few days, and
the hackers of the amendment, includ-
ing Senator johnson himself, were very
despondent over its chances tonight
Even if both Senators Sterling and
Kellogg should vote for the Johnson
amendment, and if there should be no
further changes, the vote would be q
tie, which would result in it's being
lost under the Senate rules If the
point were made, Vice Pre- sident Mar
shall would vote against the amend
ment.
Fourteen Republican Senators to-
day voted against the Shantung amend
ment. These were Senators Colt.
Cummins, Hale, Kellogg, Kenyon,
Keyes, Lenroot, McCumber, IcNary,
Nelson, Smoot, Spencer, Sterling and
Townsend.
Of these it is believed that Senator's
Kenyon, Keyes, Lenroot, Smoot, Spencer
and Townsend at least viii vote for
the Johnson amendment. Democrats
voting for the Shantung amendment
we're Reed, Gore and Walsh, Of Massa-
chusetts. Senator Shields voted
against the Shantung amndment, but
will vote for the Johnson amendment

Attempt to Revive pre-War
Night Life in Paris Fails

PARIS. Oct. 16.-The first attempt to
revive the old night life of Paris is
generally regarded here as n distinct
failure. 4 few late suppers were
served last night in Montmartre estab-

o'clock n the morning, but there was
scarcely enough patronage to pay for
The trouble.
In tEe Latin Quarter alone there was
some show OF resurrecting old condi-

Mayor Hylan, speaking last night at
Il meeting in Brooklyn Of the commit
tee of 1000, charged that the TRACTION
interests" We're prepared TO have him
indicted or committed for contempt of
court because Of his stand against fare
increases.
The Mayor spoke extemporancously,
instead Of reading from notes, as is
his custom.
"I must be very careful what say"
he declared 81 am informed that the
traction interests woold like to have
me committed for contempt or in
dicted."
Mayor Promises 'Bos Lines
Then he launched into an attack on
the increased fare plea and predicted
that as soon as the budget was fin
ished the Board Of Estimate would
take steps to install up-to-d date bus
lines in all parts OF the city. He said
the traction companies had been most
powerful and INSCRIPTIONS in the past,
and would resort to the same methods
now if given half the chance.
The iniquity of the "traction in
tcrests" and the "Wall Street crowd"
was revealed to the Mayor, he related,
in railway dining car He was MUNICH

trip, ne Sald, "Ncn LWO men SaL GOWN

"Thcy were two distinguished gentle
men, with gold-rimmed eye glasses, well

cause thought it applied to me. The

"'Wcll have him out by the first Of
the year whether he makes a misstep or
not, his companion then said"
Mayor Hy'\n said he spoke to the
men, Who, he hucw at once, "came from
the Wall Street district"
"My name is Hyan," the Mayor
quoted himself. "I'm the man you re
going TO have removed If the traction
interests are going to frame me w

The Mayor end that after ne hat
