The movement of peaches and for
that matter all fresh fruits Is being
restricted in this territory by the shop
mems strike Canning peaches are
moving now from Arkansas and north
ern Oklahoma but wholesalers are
wary about buying because of the in
ability to re-distribute out Of central
points because Of the railroad en-
hargo on pnrishable merchandise. Some
peaches have been received here this
week bpt not nv any means In the
quantities usually shipped in at this
time of the season.
The same situation holds true, In n
general way TO the local fresh meat
situation. Dealers are receiving daily
shipments. but by express and from
Iowa packers instead Of from packers
outside the state where usually good
share Of the supply comes from. Fresh
meats cannot be shipped by express
from as far distant as Omaha without
spelling. The result has been that
dealers generally are restricting their
buying and purchasing to supply only
their day to day needs.

Marine Strike is Cause.

Altho the marine strike on the At
lantic sCabOard has been off for two or
three weeks, the full effects of the long
tieup of raw sugar carrying sea ton
mage is only now being fully felt here.
Because the ocean service was inter
rupted for so long, the supply of raw
sugar at refineries has in some cases
given out and some of the larger east
ern refineries have shut down.
The ships tied up were quickly I'M
loaded and started for Cuba for car
goes of raw sugar. The government
sugar control board caught additional
ocean tonnage at sea and turned II to
Cuba to load with raw sugar. These
ships now are loading and those ships

would act independently, because we
do not desire that there should be any
step that could be taken toward an
agreement on reservations that was
neglected."
Senator Lenroot said the Democratic
leaders and the Republican Senators
with whom the Administration lead
ers have been talking, have considered
the possibility of proposing that all
of the treaty, except the league Of
nations covenant, be ratified.
at has been suggested that we re-
serve the entire league covenant"
said Senator Lenroot "Some Senators
feel that the President might agree
to that. although no Senator has any
reason for the belief."
The fight over the Democratic lead
ership is delaying compromise nego-
tiations. Senator Hitchcock would
hold his present advantage, it was
pointed out to-day, by delaying a com
promise until after January Is, when
the Democratic Senator'S will meet in
caucus to elect permanent leader.
Should a compromise be reached be
fore the caucus his opponent, Senator
Underwood, of Alabama, would gain
three or four votes, it is estimated.
Some of the mild reservationists"
expressed the opinion, to-day that
Senator Hitchcock would drag out the
treaty compromise until after the
caucus. In that event no agreement
on reservations could be reached, as
the Nebraska Senator is still acting
leader OF the minority, and no agree
ment could be made with the Demo
Gratis without his approval.
Senator Lodge and the other Re-
publlrans, however, do not know whom
to deal with The Republican leader
would prefer to deal with Senator I'm
derwood, with whom he conferred Il
few days ago.
The rank and file Of the Democratic
Senator's have been unable to assure
the Republican leader that they would
support any specific compromise. while
the leadership is in doubt They have
suggested that the Republicans arrange
the compromise with the minority
leader but the fact that the leadership
question is unsettled is proving to be
a stumbling block in the way of an
agreement.
Senator Lenroot urged Senator Lodge
to-day to go ahead and prepare a com
promise proposal without waiting for
the Democratic leadership contest to
be decided. He told the Republican
leader, however, that the mild reser-
vatonists" insisted that the proposal
be based upon the Lodge reservations.
he mild reservationists, he said,
would not consent to any compromise
reservations that were not substan-
italy the Lodge program. The pre-
amble and the reservations on Shan
, tung and Article 10 might be modified,
he said, but the others must be ac-
cepted by the Democrats without
any change.
Senator McNary was insistent at the
conference that Senator Lodge be told
that he must have a compromise pro-
posM ready for the Democrats by the
time Congress reconvenes or January s.,
bat the mild reservationists" decided
not to place any limit on the time they
would agree to support the Republican

A prediction that 1920 may see the
recognition Of the "Republic of Ire
land" by the United States was con-
tained in New Years message cabled
to Arthur Griffith, "Acting President"
by Eamonn de Valera. made public here
last night. The message follows:

people everywhere who will not be de-
MED liberty. Endure yet little while

Detroit Auto Workers
Place Ban on Legion
Orders to Quit Organization
Are Based on Alleged Activ-
itv in Strike Breaking

DETROIT. Mich, Dec. 26.-Members
Of the Detroit Local, Automobile, Air
craft and Vehicle Workers Of America,
We're forbidden to hold membership in
the American Legion by an amendment
to the bylaws of the vehicle workers
organization adopted several days ago,
it was announced tonight. The ac-
tion was taken according to I. Paul
Taylor, secretary Of the union, because
Of the uses to which the Legion has
been put by certain factions"
The amended bylaws order all mem
bers OF the union who are now affii-
ated with the American Legion to re-
sign within thirty days, it was said.
The recommendation also was made
that those who desire to belong to a
service organization join the private
soldiers and sailors legion.
The amendment was adopted, it was
said, upon recommendation of the
Board of Administration, after it had
considered allegations that the Ameri-
can Legion had been active in "break-
ing" the strikes of the New York long
shoremen, the Boston policemen and
the Kansas miners.

Commissioner Suspects Pack
age Sent to Home; Police Find
Christmas Cheer Within

Several policemen with do-or-die ex-
pressions on their countenances rushed
last night up the steps of the home Of
Dock Commissioner Murray Hubert,
600 West 140th Street. Mr.. Hubert
had just announced to the Police De-
partment that a man Of sinister visage
had called and left bomb.
From safe distance the policemen
regarded the "bomb" and decided to
wait until Owen Eagan, inspector Of
the Bureau Of Combustibles, arrived.
When he did he picked up the brown
paper package, while the faces Of the
spectators turned pale. He shook it,
and gasp swept through the room.
But Mr.. Eagan smiled in anticipation
He ripped Off the wrapper and dis
closed a quart bottle Of thirty seven
year-old whisky bearing the unanar-
chistic label MERRY Christmas"
Several policemen retraced their
paths down the steps of Commissioners
Hulbert's home few minutes later.
There were beaming smiles on their
faces.

Wilson, on Recommendation
of Lansing, Surrenders
Boats Held Pending Set
Element of u. S. Claim
Fate of Tankers Unknown
Steamers Allotted England
Handed Back Without
an Official Explanation

WASHINGTON, Dec 26.-Presdent
Wilson to-day ordered that the seven
former German liners now in New York
harbor, which have been in army trans
port service, be turned over to Great
Britain, to which nation they were al
lotted by the armistice terms. The
Presidents decision was based on q
recommendation of the State Depart
ment.
1t was understood that the ships had
been held by the United States pend
ing settlement Of an American claim
for twelve oil tankers taken from Ger
many and now retained by Great Brit
ain. The State Department urged that
the claims be settled independently.
The eighth ship of the group, the
1mperator, already has been turned
over to the British and is being op-
Grated by the Cunard Line.
Payne Gives Out Letter
In announcing the Presidents de-
cision Chairman Payne of the Ship
ping Board made public his letter to
Secretary Lansing transmitting instruc-
tions from the President. The letter
follows:
81 am directed by the President to
comply with the request contained in
your letter transmitted to me this day
from the White House and to advise
you that the seven eX-German ships, to
wit, Graf Waldersee, Zeppelin, Pre-
toria, Cap Finistere, Mobile, Prinz
Friedrich Wilhelm and Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria, now in the harbor of
New York, will be delivered to the
,.oy, ~ ),,.+
as the proper person is designated to
receive the same"
The unexpected action of the Ship
ping Board last September in refusing
to deliver the Jmperator to the British
was understood to be connected with
efforts to induce the return to the
Standard Oil Company of twelve tank
steamers, formerly under the German
flag but now held in British custody in
the Firth of Forth by order of the
Supreme Council.
remains in doubt. Chairman Payne
recently made a proposal to the Su-
preme Council that pending adjust
ment of the titles the tankers be put
at the disposal of the United States
and that Great Britain be permitted to
use the former German liners.
Tankers Owned in United States
Great Britain agreed to this pro-
posal, it was learned to-day. on the
condition that the United States would
furnish Great Britain, France, Italy
and Belgium with oil, but it is re-
ported withdrew her acceptance the
day after it was transmitted. No ex-
PLANTATION of the reported withdrawal
was obtainable
In view Of the worldwide shortage
OF tankers, it would be q hardship to
the United States, it was said, if these
American owned vessels should be
turned over to other countries. Off
cials expressed the hope that the
tankers would eventually be placed at
the disposal of the United States.
Under the Versailles treaty final de-
csion as to the titles of all craft
requisitioned from German harbors
after the armistice rests with the
Reparation Commission. The present
dispute, both as to the passenger ves-
sells and to the tankers, it was as
serted, cannot be considered as def
nitely settled, as the present DISPOSE
ton is only temporary.

and Senator Jones, in making the sug-
gestion Of Poindexter and Morrow
ticket, said he believed such "a ticket
could break into the solid South"
On the first lap of his tour Mr.
Poindexter will visit Rhode Island
New Hampshire. Michigan. Wisconsin
Minnesota and North and South Da-
kota. Subsequent journeys will take
him through the South and Middle
West, out to the Pacific Coast and back
over the Atlantic states.
Mr.. Poindexter will make his first
speeches in Rhode Island and New
Hampshire. From New hampshire he
will go to South Dakota. Discussing
the recent convention held in that
state, n statement issued at the Poin-
dexter headquarters to-day said:
Recent reports from that state er-
roneously declared that the Senator
was openly rebutfed at the proposal as
sembly meeting at Pierre on December
], the meeting refusing to recognize
him and going on record as favoring
the candidacy Of General Wood.
"The facts Of the case are entirely
different Senator Poindexter reached
Pierre the day before the meeting. He
there learned that Wood workers had
been on the ground for nearly four
months and that they had practically
directed the selection of the commit
teemen for the Pierre proposal meet
ing He therefore declined to allow
his name to go before the meeting
"Realizing that the Senator had no
chance of recognition under these cir
cumstances, his supporters called a
in the Pierre Opera House,
where Mr.. Poindexter addressed q
large audience on the principles of
for which he stands in
the national campaign.
"Afterwards Senator Poindexter an
nounced his name would go on the bal
lots at the South Dakota primaries on
March %. The announcement met with
immediate responses. Within few
days 700 farmers had signed the Poin-
dexter petition for a place on the BAL
lot. Their action, according to the
state election law, pledged them to sup
port his candidacy at the primaries:
The Willingness with which they signed
the petition showed that Senator Poin-
dexter had developed nucleus for
big following in the state"
Mr.. Pondexter will make several
speeches. A Poindexter campaign
organization will be built up there.
From South Dakota, Mr.. Poindexters
itinerary includes a campaign trip
through North Dakota, thence to
Minnesota and down through Wis
consin and Michigan. Reports from
field workers declare that Mr. Poin-
dexter's candidacy has had a favorable
reception in Wisconsin and that he
has an excellent chance of capturing
the state delegation to the Chicago
convention.
