VATICAN CHAPEL0HOIR
 ARRIVES IN NEW YORK

New York, Sept. 16.-The Sistine choir of the Vatican. possibly the old est organization of tis kind in the world, arrived in New York today and thus broke a precedent which has last cd for 1900 years. The American tour of the choir will be the first time since it's formation in the fourth century that the famous body of singers ever has left the precincts of the Vatican.
 The singers are seventy in number, drawn from the choirs of the fifteen cha pels of the Vatican and range in age from boys of eight Years to a ven erable chorister who has reached the psalmistS three score and ten.
 The arrival of the younger mem bers caused a temporary difficulty with the immigration authorities under the law which forbids children under eighteen from landing in the United States unless accompanied by their parents or guardians. The boys were detained at the landing stage until a special board of inquiry could be con- vened when they were released after brief hearing.
 In the meantime the main body had been escorted in automo obiles to the city hall, where they were received by Mayor HyIan ana officially wei comed to New York. After the mayor had delivered his speech of welcome the choristers responded with a chant sung from the steps of the city hall and blending strangely with the roar of the traffic surging about them.
 After q series of concerts here the choir will visit the principal cities of the United States and Canada

STATEMENT BY THE JUGO-
 SLAV PEACE DELEGATION

Paris, Sept 16-CBy the A. P)- The Jugo- -Slav peace delegation here has issued the following statement regarding the situation at Plume:
 No armed conflict occurred on the night of September 12-13 when 1000 Italian soldiers arrived from the oc- cupied territory of Istria and Sla- vonia. The battleship DaDnte AIig- herie was unable to sail. her engines having been damaged purposely; the troops landed from the ship and joined d'Annunzio's volunteers.
 The Italian military authorities and commanders of the allied troops were powerless to restore order, pre- parationS for the rebellion having been carefully made. The rebels drove away the English patrol sta toned in the governors palace. Dem- onstrations against America, Great France and Jugo- Slavia oc- cured
 ID D'Annunzio addressed the soldiers and crowds, and then the Italians drove the Jugo- Slavs and soldiers from Plume and Sussak.
 The French, Americans and Brit ish have left Plume on board ships It is feared that the regulars of the Italian army, who were sent aganst the rebels will make common cause with them'

 FROM DEFIANT UNIONS

Cleveland Ohio Sept. 16--The con- Vention of the United Mine Workers of America today disposed of the Illi- nois strike problem, refusing seats to the contesting delegates by a vote of almost eight to one and thereby SuS- taining the action of international and state mine officials in depriving twen- charters for fndulging in unauthorized strikes. The vote was taken after a two days debate.
 John Fitzpatrick, chairman of the national commmittee for organizing the iron and steel workers, and Mother" Jones. the aged mine work CT representative, appealed to the convention to support the steel work CTS in the projected steel strike. Mother Jones argued openly against any postponenaent, telling the miners to pay no attention to contrary reports because the strike would come off Is arranged next Monday. Recall of the strike call she declared, would wreck the confidence of the steel workers in their organization.
 Mir Fitzpatrick refrained from men tioning the question of possible post ponement, except indirectly, in his speech but in conversations with del egates he declared himself firmly op- posed to poStponement of the walkOut beyond Monday as weakening the chances of success.
 Discussion of rules will be resum- ed tomorrow. The chairman an- that among those submit ted was one demanding the resigna- ton lof Postmaster General Burleson, whose administration of the telephone service was sharply criticized by an of the telephone girls union It the afternoon session.

Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, leader of the idministra- = tion forces, insisting the treaty was emergency businesS and pointing out not one line of the document had been read, drew fire from Senator Lodge by asking if in all good faith it was his purpose to expedite consideration.
 My good faith and what I intend to do is my business Senator Lodge re- piled with feeling. and the crowds in the galleries leaned forward. expecting the first real fight over the treaty Senator Hitchcock thereupon again asked Senator Lodge if he intended to carry out his promise and keep the treaty before the senate.
 Sena tor Lodge who had been walk ing back and forth in the chamber, halted quickly when the question was asked.
 II certainly do. and in my own way, without advice from the senator from Nebraska" he declared.

 President Pro Tempore Cummins declared that while visitors had been permitted to applaud at the end of an address. in violation of the standing rules of the senate. they would not be permitted to show partisan feeling by noisy demonstrations. Senator Hitch cock said the galleries generally were not aware of the rule until it had been broken, and Senator Williams. demo- crat Mississippi. insisted the rule ought to be abolished so that visitors could give expression to their feelings.
 The democrats asked for the ayes and nays on the Smoot motion to take up other business and this was met from the republican side by the claim that there was no quorum Before the count was announced Senator Smoot withdrew his motion and reading Of the treaty was begun
