F F|NAL ACTION ON
RAILWAY BILL IN
HOUSE POSTPONED


Washington, Nov 16.-Final action
on the Esch railroad bin was post
poned by the house Saturday after
failure of the senate to take up a
resolution on adjournment made 1t
impossible for the house to adjourn
until next week even if the measure
had gone through last night.
During debate Representative Tow
ner, republican, Iowa, declared that
possible defeat of the treaty in the
senate would require that the house
join in passage Of resolution de-
claring that the war is at an end"
Under these circumstances" he
said, "it is the supreme duty of house
members to remain here"
Chairman Esch- of the interstate
commerce committee, in charge of
the railroad bill announced that be
cause of the senate situation the
night session of the house would be
discarded and work would be re-
sumed on the bill Monday.
House leaders were confident, how
ever. that formal adjournment will
be taken early this week.
An unsuccessful effort by members
from interior states to write into the
bill a rigid rule for the Interpretation
of the fourth section of the existing
commerce act. relating to freight
charges on long and short hauls
marked the debate Their fight was
blocked when opponents declared that
such rule would destroy rate struc-
lures throughout the country without
benefiting the inter mountain terri
tory.
Members friendly to the develop
ment of water transportation declared
the Esch bill would permit railroads
to "kill all steamboat lines" The
house approved however several pro-
visions of the bill relating to water
lines.
Representative Hayden. democrat,
Arizona, made the proposal that the
fourth section of the commerce act
be made mandatory, and Representa-
tive Sims, democrat, Tennessee, pro-
posed that no departure be permitted
because of water competition.
Mr.. Hayden's motion was defeated,
81 to so, and Mr.. Sims 101 to 65.
Little opposition was manifest when
the house adopted an amendment to
permit the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to authorize roads to consoli-
date or pool their earnings and facili-
ties. Under the old law such acts
were prohibited The carriers receiv-
ing such authority would under the
bill be relieved from antitrust pros
ecution.
Partial success finally crowned the
fight against the board extension Of
the authority of the Interstate Com
merce Commission over the water
carriers. By vote Of 81 to 50 the
house eliminated the section permit
ting the commission to establish mini
mum rail-and- water rates. 1t also
voted, 102 to 81, that control by state
authorities over state or municipal
owned water terminals should not be
relinquished to the Interstate Com
merce Commission.

HALF A MILLION NEW
YORK MILK USERS TO
ORGANIZE A BOYCOTT

ler MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRgl
New York, Nov. l6.-More than
100000 consumers in greater New
York are expected to go on
milk strike as a demonstration
of the ability Of the middle class
consumer to organize.
No reduction in price is expect
ed TO result from the boycott,
which is to be directed by the city
parliament of the community coun-
ellis OF national defense. Only
children under Z years of age and
invalids are exempted from the
strike order" which provides
that the boycott shall last three
days a week
Our main object, of course, is
to organize the consumers and pre-
pare them to take collective action
to protect their own interests"
DR., Albert Shields, a director of the
boycott, said tonight, "The great
middle class, up to the present,
has been satisfied with paying
the bills and suffering in silence
while capital and labor waged war
with one another. The tide has
now turned and the middlemar's
hat also is in the ring"
Health Commissioner Copeland
tonight opposed the boycott at least
until the fair price committee sub
mitted its plan. He said no ulti-
mate economic advantage to the
city would result and "the unof-
Tending farmer. as usual. will be
the sufferer"

DR.. HELFFERICH
FINED 300 MARKS
AS PUNISHMENT
a, .osrr~a .ol -nAl -r.a,., lsAs-p ~,pr


Berlin, Nov 6 (by the Associated
Press, DIR. Carl Helfferich, the
former German vice chancellor, APP
pearing as a witness today at the in
quiry Of the Subcommittee of the
national assembly, was fined SOC
marks for refusing to answer a ques-
ton submitted by Deputy cohen, DR.
Helfferich said he had never an
swered a direct question from Cohen
and did not intend to in the future.
After long discussion by the depu-
ties the fine was imposed, The sub
committee yesterday discussed the note
of Secretary of State Lansing which
was alleged to have proposed that II
the German submarines would confine
themselves to cruiser warfare, mer-
chant ships would no longer be armed
DIR. Helfferich declared that if these
propositions had been carried out, the
result would have been the concluding
of peace in 1916, and in consequence
the note of Secretary Lansing would
have had a deciding effect on the war
and perhaps an historic significance.
81 gained the conviction however y
said DR.. Helfferich, "that Secretary
Lansing and President Wilson were moi
always intimately cooperating. After
the dispatch of the lansing note
President wilson's English friends at.
tempted TO counteract by reviving the
Lusitania incident We found our
selves suddenly compelled to admit the
illegality of the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, as otherwise a casus belli would
have been given,
II am firmly convinced that the
United States kept the Lusitania mat
ter in allegiance in order to use it as q
handy pretext at any moment. II
President Wilson had stood squarely
on the principle of Secretary Lam
sings note at that time, the lives OF
millions of people would have been
saved"
Or. Helfferich summed his state
ment of the submarine campaign with
the remark:
The U-boat weapon failed because
1t was put out of commission from
within. 1t was hoped to make it de-
cisive, he said, before the United States
was able to Participate actively in the
war"

JENKINS PLACED
UNDER ARREST BY
MEXICAN AGENTS
His Recent Kidnapping Was
the Result Of a 0Frame~
Up,p According to Evidence
Which Mexico Claims,

Mexico City, Mex, Nov l6, (by the
Associated Press William o. Jenk-
ms, United States consulage agent at
Puebla, was placed under arrest Sat
urday and held under surveillance in
his home following charges by Off
cials at Puebla that Jenkins was not
abducted by Federico Cordoya, the
bandit leader, but was in conniyance
with him, according to information
received here last night.
The arrest of Jenkins came after
twelve poems had sworn to statements
before a judge in Puebla, declaring
that Jenkins had been seen in COM
pany with Cordova, who accomplished
his recent abduction from Puebla, un-
der no restraint and in apparent un-
derstanding with his alleged captors
Advices received in Washington
from Mexico City November Z, stated
that Consular Agent Jenkins had been
cleared of all suspicion of completely
in his kidnapping by Mexican bandits
on October II. The judge investigat-
ing the abduction, the dispatches ad-
ded, took occasion to praise jenkins
as a friend of the Mexican people and
a respected member of the community
in which he had lived for number of
years.
Jenkins was held for $150,000 ran
som and the United States government
demanding his release sent what was
said to have been the strongest note
ever dispatched in dispute between
the two republics.
Jenkins was released on October 26,
after his personal attorney, Senior Mes
tire, had paid the ransom to the ban
dit leader.
An official statement issued in
Washington on the abduction of Jen-
kins said that he would have to effect
his own reimbursement of the money
paid to the Mexicans who kidnapped
him, unless he could prove that the
Mexican government was negligent in
affording him protection. His stand
ing as an official of the United States
had no bearing on the matter, it was
stated.

Washington, Nov Negotiation
of new wage scale in the soft coal in
dustry stood in much the same situa-
ton tonight as when miners and oper-
ators met at Buffalo in September to
frame a contract to replace the Wash
ington wage agreement.
This time. however there was no
threat of a strike, and both sides were
ready to resume their conference to-
morrow in the hope of reaching a
quick settlement.
Some of the operators protested that
union miners had failed to return to
work as ordered by Federal Judge An
derson at Indianapolis, and in the face
of withdrawal of the strike order by
officers of the United Mine Workers
of America. 1t was intimated that this
would be brought up at the joint con-
ference.
John l.. Lewis, acting president of
the miners organizations still holding
the miners demands just, took issue
today with the statement Of Secretary
Wilson that a wage increase of 80 per
cent would make them a favored class
of workers.
The demands submitted to the oper-
ators yesterday reaffirmed the six
hour day, but omitted reference to
from bank to bank" Lewis explained.
The miners now are asking a maxi
mum of six hours working time in the
mines. The time required to go down
into the mines and return to the sur
face would add an average of about
a half hour to the day, Lewis said.
There was no indication today that
operators outside the central compet
tive fields intended to accept any
agreement which might be reached in
that territory in advance of the agree
ment itself.
Mr.. Lewis declared that miners
representatives from outlying districts
would remain here until a settlement
on the coal industry was reached.
Il think the operators will nego-
tiate with them if they expect to op-
crate their properties" he said.

CAPITAL NOT OFFICIALLY
ADVISED OF THE ARREST

Washington, Nov. 16.-No word had
reached the state department through
official sources tonight concerning
the reported arrest of Consular Agent
Jenkins on charges of having con-
nived with the bandit who abducted
him. Officials said a report probably
would reach here early tomorrow
The charges against jenkins were
characterized as absurd" in view of
the recent investigation by a judge,
who declared that the agent was not
mixed up in any plot. The offhand,
opinion was that it was "a measure of
retaliation following late disclosures
connecting some Mexican authorities
with radical propaganda and in which
the name of the Mexican consul gem
eral in New York was mentioned.

Prussian ministry of the interior for
forbidding the production of a motion
picture film intended to present the

able way. The film was suppressed on
the ground of lack of taste and that

The newspapers point out that the

that 1t is unable to suppress the "ex-

Of PLOTS
Of ANARCHISTS IS
SHOWN BY PALMER R
Emma Goldman and AIeXan-
der Bergman Have Been
Active for Years in CirCu-
Iating Radical Doctrine,

Washington, Nov l6.--ReplYlng TO
senate inquiry as to what had been
done toward deporting Emma Gold
man and Alexander Berkman, Attor-
ney General Palmer declared tonight
that the woman's claim to American
citizenship was "fallacious,' and that
Berkman. by his own admission, was
an anarchist.
The Goldman case is under consid-
Grafton by immigration authorities at
New York and the attorney general S
statement was taken to mean that the
government soon would attempt to
send her back to Russia, where she
was born,
Discussing Emma Goldman's claim
to citizenship Mr.. Palmer said she was
"a years old when her father was nat
uralized and that her age barred her
from inheriting naturalization rights
from him. The fact that her husband
obtained his citizenship through fraud,
Mr. Palmer added, cancelled any claim
she might have established through
that source.
Incited Riots as Early as 1898.
The ramifications to which the
plots and plans of the group of anar-
chists headed by Emma Goldman
have extended We're reviewed by the
attorney general Declaring that both
Mathew Schmidt and David Caplan,
who are serving prison sentences for
completely in the destruction Of the
Los Angeles Times building, were
members of the Goldman clan, he
showed also that she advocated Vio-
lence and had melted riots as early
as 1898, when she was sentenced to
serve one year on Blackwell's island
after indictment on these charges. Mr,
Palmer included in the statement a
manuscript of the confession of Czol-
gosz, who shot President Mckinley, in
which he told of the influence Emma
Goldman's teachings had exercised on
his life. Further investigation by
government agents proved that he had
not only heard her speak but frequent
ly had consulted with her as to meth
DDS to be employed in effecting the
destruction of the government
The connection of both Berkman
and Emma Goldman with the Bolshe-
Wiki movement was also emphasized
by Mr., Palmer. The activities of the
Union of Russian Workers said to be
one Of the most dangerous organlza-
tions in America, and against which
the government has directed a yigor-
Gus campaign, has been traced directly
to the Goldman Berkman propaganda
headquarters he said.
