Abyssirian Chief Escapes
When Army Is Defeated

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE combined
operations of the British and Italians
with tanks and aircraft guns against
the Mad Mullah in Abyssinia have
been very successful. The enemy was
heavily defeated and the operations
virtually have been completed, but the
Mad Mullah escaped.
The Mad Mullah has been preaching
holy war, according to the Somali
tribes, and during the recent war con-
tinually raided the country, necessitat-
ing the maintenance of a garrison by
the Italians.
The Colonial Under Secretary an
nounced to-day in the House of Com
mons that the dervishes had been at
tackled by airplanes in Somaliland; that
the Mullah had escaped, but his posi-
tions were captured with much booty
and the power of the dervishes had
been entirely destroyed

BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. 17.-North
Dakota Republicans, in state conven-
tion here, to-day adopted resolutions
urging all Presidential candidates not
to file petitions in this state for pri-
mary preferential votes. The action

that all branches of the state gov
ernment of North Dakota were taken
over two years ago by an organization
directed by Socialists"
Approximately 425 accredited dele
gates from all parts of the state at
tended. Other actions of the conven-
tion included nomination of Gunder
Olson, of Grafton, for reelection as
national committeeman, selection Of
five Presidential electors and of ten
delegates to the national convention

Shoots Baby Son, Kills Himself
In Grief Over Death of Wife

Mrs. Mary Fromberger, of Garfield,
N. j., died of influenza yesterday
morning. An hour later her husband,
John, carried their eighteen tbs
old son to bedroom adjoining that
in which the mother lay dead and shot
the child and himself. Fromberger
died on the way to. St. .Mary's Hos
pital, in Passaic, where the little boy,
bullet in his skull, is believed to
be dying.
Fromberger, who was twenty nine
years old, lived with his wife child
and mother-in-law, Mrs. Thomas Ad-
ametz, at 1874 Schley Street, Garfield.
He was in the electrical contracting
business in Garfield until recently.
when he went to work for the National
Electric Company in Passaic. They
had been married less than three
years.
Nursed Wife During Epidemic
Mrs. Fromberger contracted influ-
enza three weeks ago. John, the hus-
band, stayed home from work to wait
upon the patient. Day or night, he
hardly left her bedside, Mrs. Adametz
said. Worry over his wife's condition
gave way, as the disease progressed to
distraction.
When Mrs. Adametz entered the in
valid's room at 8 a. m. yesterday
Fromberger did not reply to her greet
ing. He appeared to have lost the
New-York tribune., 1920-02-18

power of speech and sat dumbly gaz-
ing at his wife, who was sinking fast.
Mrs. Fromberger died at 8 O'Clock For
awhile the husband remained beside
the deathbed. Dazed by grief, he did
not cry.
Shortly, he went downstairs, seated
himself in an arm chair and took his
son on his lap. The father held the
tiny lad closely and stroked his curly
hair.
Mrs. Adametz, watching from cor
ner of the room, sought to take the
boy away.
He's All l Have!"
"No, no." Fromberger protested
"he's mine; he's all | have!"
They were the first words he had
uttered since the night before.
Of sudden, the baby's playfulness
was halted by From berger's rising and
starting with him for the stairway.
Where are you going?" asked Mrs.
Adametz alarmed.
ITO put little John to sleep" he an
swered.
She saw him draw the child closer
to him and kiss him as they passed
through the door.
A few moments later the mother-in-
law heard two shots fired in quick sue
cession.
She ran upstairs. On the bed in
rear room father and son were stretched.
They were unconscious and bleed
ing from wounds In their heads. A
revolver was clenched in Fromberge
fingers

Senator Declares Enough Democrats Will Stand
Firm Against Reservations to Prevent
Ratification i'm Senate

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-Defeat of
the peace treaty with Germany for
second time in the Senate was pre-
dicted to-day by Senator Hitchcock,
leader of the Administration forces in
the fight for ratification of the pact.
Senator Hitchcock declared the Demo-
Gratis have abandoned completely their
efforts to obtain ratification, and that
rather than permit the treaty to be
ratified with reservations dictated by
Senator Lodge they were prepared to
vote against ratification.
The Administration leader took such
gloomy view of the situation that
he declared the present effort to Sc
cure ratification by the Senate will end
in a deadlock similar to the one that
resulted in the defeat of the treaty on
November 19.
The only hope Of securing ratifica-
ton, said Senator Hitchcock, lies in
giving up the present effort and bring
ing the treaty back into the Senate a
third time after resuming informal con-
ferences on reservations.
Outlook Declared Hopeless
ct looks like we are going back
into the same hole we came out Of"
said Senator Hitchcock
81 am inclined to believe from every
indication and from assurances that 1
have received, that the mild reserva-
tionists' will stick by Senator Lodge
and support his program throughout.
We cannot hope for any support of
our program from them.
"There are forty Democrats who have
signed the agreement to vote for either
the Taft reservation or the bipartisan
conference reservation on Article x,
New-York tribune., 1920-02-18

but that is the maximum number of
votes those reservations can get now.
I'VE are going to let things run
along in their own way. The initia-
tive rests with Senator Lodge Evil
IDENTIFY he will continue to seek ratifi-
cation on the basis of his own reser-
vatlons, and l am confident that suf-
ficient number of Democratic Senators
will vote against those reservations,
Article K, to prevent ratification"
The "irreconcilables" attacked the
treaty in the Senate to-day. Senator
Thomas, Democrat. of Colorado, up
held the contentious of Senator Knox,
of Pennsylvania, that the terms of the
treaty would ruin Germany and bank
rupt Europe economically. Senator
borah, Republican, of Idaho, declared
every contention of the "irreconcil-
aoles" against the provisions of the
pact has been proved correct by de-
velopments in Europe since the treaty
was signed.
Vote on Withdrawal Delayed
Senator Lodge during the afternoon
made an effort to secure a vote on his
amendment to the reservation on with
drawal. Senator King, Democrat, of
Utah, objected, saying that all Sen
a'olo Shoulu Dc permitted to vote on
1T, and that as many were absent the
vote should be postponed
The Lodge amendment would make
the withdrawal reservation provide
that notice of withdrawal from the
league of nations could be filed either
by the President alone or by major
lty. of both Houses of Congress.
vote is expected on the withdrawal
reservation tomorrow. The Article X
reservation then will come before the
Senate formally, but the Democrats
have expressed willingness to let SEN
ator Lodge have it passed over until

Wilson Relapse
Denied BY Doctor

WASHINGTON, Feb. II.
President Wilson continues to
show improvement, and was up
early to-day, shaving himself and
going about his usual routine,
Rear Admiral Grayson, his
physician, said. DR.. Grayson's
statement was prompted by pub
lished reports that the President
had a relapse last night, and that
DR.. Francis x. Dercum, a Phila-
delphia specialist, had been hur-
riedly summoned.
The Presidents Cabinet prob
ably will not meet this week, DR..
Grayson said, but he added that
if the President desired to call
a meeting his physician would not
object.

Says Hardness
Was DeliriiOus
When He Died
Christian Science Healer
Says Patients Final Words
We're Eight! Fight"
Repeated After the Nurse

Those present at the deathbed of
Harry S. Harkness, multi-millionaire,
over whose will his first wife, Mrs.
kennett Cowan, and his second, Mrs
Florence Stauber Gaines Hardness, are
about to engage in legal strife, yester-
day described the last hours of the man
who died of influenza on January %
1919.
Six hours before he drew his last
breath Mr.. Harkness signed a will leav-
ing his $25,O0O,OO0 estate to his second
wife. Mrs. Cowan now insists that this
document was made while Hardness
was delirious, and that it is superseded
by an earlier mutual contract into
which he entered with her.
Calls Hardness Delirious
b. Palmer Lewis, Christian Science
practitioner, who attended Harkness
after physicians had given up hope of
saving his life, said that from 2 2:45
until p. m when he died, Mr.. Hark-
ness was delirious.
Dr.. Joseph O'Conor of 272 West
Ninetieth Street, admitted yesterday
that he was one OF the witnesses to
the disputed will, but could not re-
member whether it was signed in the
morning or afternoon.
Mr.. Lewis said that three men en-
tered the sickroom while he and Miss
Wnifred Leonard, another Christian
Science worker, were working over
Harkness, and that he and Miss
Leonard withdrew. He thought the
THO had come to administer serum to
the dying man.
DR.. O'Conor said that as he recol-
lccted it only one man came with the
serum. He was not, he believed, a
licensed physician, and appeared so
nervous that he was unable to inject
the fluid without DR.. O'Conor's assist
ance.
In speaking of Mr. Harknesss con-
dition Mr. Lewis said that the only in
telligible words he uttered while the
healers were present were in response
to an eXhortation of Miss A. Marie
Allen, a nurse, who bent over him and
said:
"Mr. Hardness, now is the time You
have got to fight for your life"
Fight. Fight Fight!
To this he said Hardness NUT
tered in response:
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Further details OF the Forthcoming
fight for the estate were given by
Robert H. Strahan.
Mr.. Strahan is a member of the firm
of Murray, Prentice & Howland, at
torneys, who with J. II. Hutchinson, of
San Francisco, represented the two sis
ters of the wealthy oil man and sports
man in negotiations growing out of
the will which left the entire estate
to his widow
Mr.. Strahan said that as the result
of these negotiations property in Ken
lucky and California was given by the
widow to Mrs. Ogden NJ. Edwards jr
of Pittsburgh, and Mrs. A. Kingsley
Macomber, of Pasadena, the sisters
said to be valued at about $1,000,000
While he refused to say that the prop
erty was ceded to the sisters as the
result of any objections to their
brothers will, it was intimated that it
was in the nature of compromise to
avoid contest. Mr.. Strahan said that
| the sisters are not interested in Mrs
Cowan's proposed attack against the
validity of the will and will not join
her in the contest.

Quinn Calls on
Mayor Hylan to
Gust MacStay
Socialists Join Republican
Minority in Attack,
but Ia M many Men
Defeat the Resolution

The immediate removal from offic e
by Mayor Hylan of Arnold B. MacStay
Street Cleaning Commissioner, be-
cause he has proved "hopelessly in
efficient" was demanded in a resolution
presented at the meeting of the Board
of Aldermen yesterday by Alderman
William F. Quinn, Republican. The
resolution included a vigorous protest
against the present condition of streets
and censured the Street Cleaning De-
partment for it's inability to cope with
the situation.
The resolution was tabled by the
Tammany majority in the board afte r
several of the Democratic members at
tempted to defend Commissioner Mac
Stay and the Mayor from the floor.
associates, however, insisted upon a
roll call on the vote. The Socialist
members voted with the Republicans.
The Quinn resolution follows:
Resolved, That this Board of
Aldermen, as the representative leg
islative body of citizens of this city,
go on record as protesting vigorously
against the condition of the streets
of New York City at the present
time, due to the utter lack of ability
of the Street Cleaning Department
of the city to cope with the present
weather conditions; and.
MacStay's Removal Asked
''Be it further Resolved, That the
Board of Aldermen ask the immedi-
ate removal by Mayor Hylan of
Street Cleaning Commissioner Mac
Stay, who has proved himself hope
lessly inefficient and utterly unable
satisfactorily to carry out the duties
of the Street Cleaning Commissioner
of the city"
The fact that such resolution was
to be introduced was known by the
Tammany members, and just before it
came up the full strength of the
majority side of the house was sum-
moned. Alderman Quinn moved for
immediate consideration of the resolu-
ton. Major La Guardia, president of
the board, asked if there was any OBJ
lection to immediate consideration.
Several of the Tammany aldermen
shouted in chorus tlat they all OBJ
jected. Several came to the defence
Of the Commissioner, the department
and the Mayor, pointing to the severity
of the storm and the unprecedented

streets The chair cut the speechmak-
ing short and declared the resolution
was referred to the Committee on
General Welfare. Alderman William
T. Collins, majority leader, sprang to
his feet with motion to table the
resolution, and the motion was car
ried on the roll call.
The Republican minority, working
in unusual harmony with the So
cialist members, made fight on
several other resolutions at yester-
days meeting directing criticism at
city departments and calling for in
vestigations, but were overruled by
the majority. A heated discussion en-
sued on the resolution introduced by
Alderman Vladeck, Braunstein and
Beckerman, Socialists, requesting the
Commissioner of Public Markets to
appear before the board with records
of the recent sale of army foodstuffs
from which the department obtained
surplus of 100000.

others on the Democratic side spoke
against the resolution and the proposed
