Threatened Clash Over Possession of German Colonies Passed for
 Present at Least.
WILSON AGAINST LOOT
President States He Will Be No Party to Distribu- ton of Huns Posses
 SiOnS as War Prizes.

PARIS, Jan. 31.-The threatened crisis before the Peace Congress, re- garding the. disposition of Germany's colonies, seems to have been passed momentarily, at least.
 However, it is as yet too early to say whether President Wilson's views to have the League of Nations ad- minister the Colonies until they can reach stage of self-determination for themselves, will prevail in their entirety.
 It is believed that compromise has been affected.
 Frankly and plainly, President Wilson told the members of the Su preme Council of the Peace Congress that he would not be party to a division of Germany's colonies to be parceled out among the powers tha' are now holding them, and then be come party to a League of Ma tions, which, in effect, would guaran tee their title.
 It is inferred that the President referred to the possession of the Islands as the loot of victory in war

POLICE INTERRUPT
AGED STILL MAKER
Patriarch Believed to Haue
Been Dupe of Rum Sellers.

Jewish patriarch who has been an
intinerant teacher of Hebrew for many
years on the East Side was taken
to headquarters from a darkened room
at 55 Rutgers street by detectives in
charge of Sergeant Gegan Of the bomb
squad yesterday afternoon The de-
tectives had knocked at the door but
had received no answer. They went
to the rear and climbed by a fire escape
to the second floor window.
The old man was at work with SOL
dering iron putting bottoms in copper
cylinders. About him were a set of tin
smiths tools, some strips of sheet cop
per and pipe coils. The detectives con-
cluded that the apparatus in the making
was intended as a crude whiskey distillery
and bundled the patriarch and his col
lection of tools and copper into a patrol
wagon.
The prisoner gave his name as Meyer
Segalowitz of $50 Hooper street. Brook
lyn, and his age as 65. The detectives
thought from his beard and his heavily
wrinkled features that he might be much
older. Segalowitz said In his younger
DAYS he had been q tlnsmith. He had
forsaken the trade many years ago, how
ever for the profession of teacher. taxi
ing pupils when opportunity offered for
Talmudic instruction. He was greatly
pleased on Monday when a man whom
ne identified for the police offered to
give him temporary employment
He went with his employer to the
Rutgers street house and stood by while
his new found friend rented the back
room for S13 a month. Segalowitz said
he was told to report at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning, and when he did so
found the tinsmith's Job awaiting him.
He had no notion of the thing he was
making. he said. He was released
after being questioned.

The Civic League is said to have prac-

the erection of the garbage disposal
plant. DIR. Copeland is due at Sea View
Hospital at 10 o'clock this morning to
effect the transfer OF the tuberculosis
patients to Otisville and make ready for
the drug users.
The League members are also indig-

they please, and cites speciic instances.
including the suicide OF DIR. Walter

the Sheriff. "Mr. Albertson has been a
member OF the various Grand Juries that
have visited the Jail. and l hardly see
how he can make charges against my
conduct. as that would not be consistent
with his former reports. William NJ
Baldwin, the other signer of the charges,
Ihave never seen in the Jail and know
nothing about him.
AS to the charge that Federal and
other prisoners have been allowed free

true, and II was at their own request
They all preferred to work in the gar
den rather than remain In a cell. If 1

proves my contention that II you treat
prisoners as human beings they will not
attempt to betray your confidence"
