PRATT IS ACCUSED
BY ONE OF HIS MEN
Conservation Head Unfit,
Says Warden Under Charges.

ALBANY, June 10. - Charges seeking
the removal from Office Of George d.
Pratt, State Conservation Commissioner,
were fled with Gov. Smith to-day by
Herbert X. Billings, a game protector
of La Sale. Niagara county. Billings
on Wednesday was given a hearing by
Commissioner Pratt on charges Of falsi-
flying accounts. No decision has yet
been given in this case.
Billings alleges that Mr.. Pratt is UNIT
for Office because he required the subor-
dinate game protectors to pay for uni
forms of inferior quality, and also be-
cause he retains in office as division in
spector F. w. Hamilton Of Buffalo.
He charged that Hamilton had coerced
people to settle with the Conservation
Commission instead OF standing trial for
alleged game law violations. Hamilton
was recently the subject of an inquiry
on another matter. In that case George
F. Thompson, Senator from Niagara, in
a resolution adopted by the Senate. re-
quested an investlga ton of charges made
in 1913 that Hamilton had improperly
disposed OF mink skins. These charges
were dismissed.
Gov Smith turned the Billings charges
over to Commissioner Pratt with the
request that he make an explanation.

clared in favor of a citizens strike, &C.
cording to the Independent Socialis,
newspaper Die Pretheit. The attend

ufacturers. merchants and professional
men and Col. Reinhardt. the Prussian
Minister or War.
The chairman of the meeting is quoted
as declaring that strike was necessary

capable Of redeeming Germany from
chaos.
It was planned, according to the news
paper, to have airplanes distribute leaf
let's announcing when the strike would
begin. All the food industries, including
the bakeries. would cease work, accord
ing TO the plan. this leading to civil war
which. it was held, would help the bour-
geoisie attain political power.
Some OF tho manufacturers and COM
mercial interests, Die Freiheit declares
advocated the utmost severity "as the
only means of overcoming the laboring
classes" The citizens would be armed
and Col. Reinhardt Is reported to have
said the troops would be entirely on their
side.
The position of the German Cabinet
has been materially strengthened as a
result of the speeches OF Gustav Noske
and Philip Scheidemann at the Weimar
convention OF the Majority Socialist
party, according to the view OF the non
Socialist press and opinion In various
