NO COMPROMISE
President Stands Pat ON His
6. Peace Pact Program.
Both Sides Agree Nothing Can
Be Done for Month,

Washington, Dec. f5.-President
Wilson's statement that he had mo
compromise or concession of any kind
in mind and that he would make no
move toward disposition of the treaty
but would continue to hold senate Re-
publicans responsible for the delay in
its ratification, today again brought
the treaty and the League of Nations
to the front in congress. Revived Sat
urday by a proposal of Senator Knox,
Republican of Pennsylvania. debate on
the peace question promised to con-
sumo much of the time of the senate
during the next day or two, altho
leaders declared the White House an
nouncement had had no effect in
changing the situation.
Democratic leaders declared the
presidents statement did not mean that
he opposed a compromise should one
be reached in the senate and said COM
promise efforts would be continued
Republican opponents of ratification
without reservations maintained. their
position that the president was to
blame for delaying a declaration OF
peace and that the next move must
come from him. .S-l.f 9f
Both sides were in accord on tff
view that regardless of compromise
activities or the views OF the presi-
dent no result could be obtained un-
til next month and any debate on the
floor of the senate in the meantime
simply would be an expression of per
sonal views of the senators on the lat
est announcement from the White

Esther Blake lies in the Atlantic City
hospital under observation to deter

murder of Buddy" her 5-year-old
son, by drowning. She is to be ques-
toned further today.
Beside the hospital cot a policeman
sits stoically He is there to prevent
the woman from fulfilling threats to
end her life.
Mrs. Blake was placed under arrest
yesterday when the body of her little
son was washed ashore near the Vent
ner municipal pier. She has not devil
ated from her story of being attacked
by two negroes who snatct1ed the child
from her side Friday night, and when

Mrs. Blake was removed to the hos
,pital when her physician DIR. William
Fox, insisted she was not in fit con-
-dition to be taken to jail. He said
that Mrs. Blake was very nervous and
had slept little since the disappear
anee of her son on Friday, but Chief
Spraspe scoffed at this statement.
My Investigation shows this wo-
man has pretended illness before he
said. ~ am confident she threw her
child Into the ocean in a fit of insan-
ity brought on by drugs, under the
hallucination her boys dumbness was

for four years but 1t is said the child's
condition had nothing to do with the
separation.
Blake went TO the police station
when informed the boys body had
been found and said he could give no
reason for the apparent crime. He
said that he and Mrs. Blake were mar
ried fourteen years ago and that Mrs.
Blake was born and educated in Bal

facts be. submittead to q jury. Mrs

animation and to decide whether she
be held for action by the grand jury.
Magistrate Endicott expressed the

der the New Jersey law, he pointed
out, counsel for the defense at any
time may apply to Judge Robert p
Ingersoll of the county court for the
appointment of a commission of alien

Blake visited his wife at the hos
pital late last night after she had
called for him frequently. He was
with her about thirty minutes and
when he left, said: "She tells me the

WILL CONTINUE STRIKE
Steel Unions Say Wage Battle May Go
on for Four Years More.

Washington. Dec. 15.-As a result
of the almost unanimous decision of
the national committee of organized
iron and steel workers to continue the
strike leaders of the unions today were
going ahead with plans for an active
field campaign, which they said would
be carried on for at least four years
if necessary.
Members of the committee, which
is composed of twentyfour presidents
of labor unions connected with the
steel industry, conferred here last
night, and it was at this conference
that the decision was reached. Lead
ers admitted that there had been de-
rectionS in the strikers ranks and that
many plants had resumed operations,
but said steel production had been far
below normal and the plants were
running under the disadvantage of
heavy overhead charges.
