He Was Approached
S5OO.OOO FOR HIS VOTE
Because Senator Thompson Declined
to Name Would-Be 6rber in Open

Submarine Attacks

New York, April Admiral VIII
liam S. Sims, commander-in-chief of
the American forces in European wat
ers, arrived at Quarantine at $3.50
o'clock this afternoon on the British
liner Mauretania. Escorted by 40
tilla of destroyers and airplanes, the
admirals ship, which also brought
home S,0S0 soldiers, was met by a
fleet Of harbor craft bearing naval
and municipal officers and members
Of his family
The convoy system, which many
naval men had termed impracticable.
oyercame the German submarine
menace and figured tremendously in
the winning of the war. Admiral Sims
declared today. Depth charges and
listening devices, he said, contribut-
ed materially to success in maintain
ing practically unbroken the trans
Atlantic bridge CT transports and
supply ships essential to the allied
victory, as did the magnificent
work of the merchant seamen, who
took their cargoes across, convoy or
no convoy But it was the convoy
ing scheme, worked out 10 fine detail
by the combined fleets of the as
sociated powers, the officer asserted.
which made possible the transports
ton and supplying OF the great
American force whose appearance in
battle with the allies turned the tide
against the German invaders on the
western front,
Germany was winning the war. the
rear admiral stated when he arrived
in England the day after the United
States became a belligerent. Teu-
tonic interference with allied shipping
he said, was a serious problem, solv-
ed only when conferences Of the Brit
ism, American and allied commands
worked out and put mo practice the
system of protecting battleships
which prevailed until the cessation
OF hostilities.
The Mauretania entered the har-
Dor in mid-afternoOn. She was de
layed since early morning by a fog
which shrouded the coastal waters
for many miles. A great feet OF air
planes, their wings flashing in the
sun which succeeded the morning S
fog, heralded the approach OF the trans
port. bearing the admiral, his staff
and 3,0S0 troops, and escorted by a
notilla of destroyers and smaller nav
al craft In a din OF salutes from the
harbor forts, whistles from welcom
ing vessels and cheers Of the officers

MURDERED IN TROY
Peter Smolym Had No Chance for
Life-shot While Back Of

tunity to comply with the demand,
Your money or your life,' one OF
two young men at 1915 o'clock this
morning, shot Smolym twice, inhict-
ing wounds from which he died as he
was being placed in an ambulance.
The two men fed without attempt.
ing to rifle the cash register and at
a late hour this morning the police
had no clue to their identity.
The shooting was witnessed by one
man, John Gerser, a night watchman.
employed at the brickyard Of Mcleod
q Henry, whose story in effect is as
follows:
Peter stock back of the bar and
was engaged in conversation with me
when two men entered. They were
probably 20 or 80 years old and
smooth faced One man went to the
rear of the saloon while the other
threw down money ON the bar and
asked for a drink.
As Peter was serving the drink the
man in front of the bar drew a reyol-
yer and shouting, "Your money or
your life" fired twice before Smolym
had an opportunity to reply or make
n move The first bullet entered
Smolym's head just over the left
eye. the second, fred as he was fall
ing. went into his chest

register or for that matter. without
waiting for anything. the two men

The dead man is survived by his
wife and three children.
From the fact that the bullets
lodged in head and body, It is infer
red that an ordinary revolver anc
not an automatic, was used.

CRISIS REACHED
IN CONF FERENCE
Of PEACE ENJOYS
Results of Discussions Are
Rather DiscOuraging
AMERICA MAY WITHDRAW
Lloyd George Is sick-conferen Is
Held at His Residence-House
Takes Wilson's Place

Paris, Aprl 7.-Extreme tension
was evident as result of today's dis
cussions in the Council of Four and
it is believed throughout the Confer
ence that another critical stage has
been reached
One Of the most responsible au-
thorities associated with President
Wilson said that he would not be
surprised if American participation
was brought to an early close if the
delays over details were carried
much further.
The differences still remaining on
the subjects of frontiers and repara-
tions were comparatively slight, he
added, and yet these Slight differ
ences were so persistently main
tanned as to threaten to create pro-
longed delays, which the President
and the American delegation were
not willing to accept
The President was described by
one who saw him in the course of
the day as standing firm in his de.
termination to make no further con
cessions. He insists that the prin-
ciples which we're definitely agreed
upon at the time of the armistice are
az stake.
The Council Of Four was to have
met at II O'Clock this morning at
the White House" where the Pres.
ident is still confined to his bed but
able to consult with his colleagues In
emergencies. 1t developed however,
that Premier Lloyd George had a
ccld like the Presidents, which kept
him also to his bed A morning ses-
sion of the Council was therefore
impossible.
1t was then determined to have the
Council meet at Mr. Lloyd Georges
residence, so as to be near him. and
here the session began at $3.50 O'Clock
this afternoon with Premier Clemen
ceau, Premier Orlando, Colonel
House, and all the financial experts
present.
Reparation was again the chief
issue One Of the American experts
summed up the situation as he en-
tered the meeting, saying:
THE chances are favorable to an
agreement but We have not agreed
ye;."

Cohoes, April S.-The Cohoes Tex
tile union and eight hour day COM
mittee have presented new offer to
the knit goods manufacturers to re-
turn to work on a As hour schedule
with pay for the same number OF
hours. Union leaders, when seen last
night, said that the offer had been
sent to the manufacturers and that
an answer would probably be receiy-
ed later in the week. Several nanu-
facturers when seen last night, said
that they had not seen the offer but
that it would probably be received at
a meeting of manufacturers to be
held this week
The offer is the first to be made
since the manufacturers refused the
offer of the workers for a 4S-hour
work week with pay for 81 hours
No manufacturer cared to comment
on whether favorable or unfavorable
action would be taken on the offer OF
the workers.
