WILSON IDEAS
 TO DOMINATE
 PARTY KEYNOTE
Cummings Says He Will Emphasize the Peace
 Treaty and League.

Washington, June 1.-The keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco, to be made by Homer s. Cummings, chair man of the national committee will emibody the ideas of President Wilson on the peace treaty and other princi- pal issues confronting the country
 This was made clear yesterday when MT Cummings conferred for an hour and half with the President and had luncheon at the White House. The principal thing discussed, according to MT. Cummings. was the keynote speech, 8 copy of which was sent to tne White House several days ago for the President to study. The President was greatly pleased with the ideas contained in the speech, Mir Cum mings said.
 MT. Cummings indicated that he would put the Presidents views on the treaty and other matters before the convention and use his influence to have the party follow the Presi- dents lead. He predicted there would be no squaibb1s over the treaty, as- serting that the majority of the party favors the Presidents stand as ex- pressed by his indorsefnent of the Vir- gtria platform, ealing for the ratifi- cation of the treaty without reserva- tions which would impair it's -'essen- tial integrity
 MT. Cummings intinated that the President would keep as closely in touch with political developments as possible and influence the convention's deliberations as much as he is able in an effort to obtain aR indorsement of hls stand on the treaty and the league of nations. MT. Cummings sug- sested, however, that events might occur which would make things other than the treaty of first importance, although he did not say what he had in mind.
 Mr. Cummings said the President had very definite ideas about the treaty. which he discussed at length. reiterating his confidence that the voters would support the pact, in cludinS the league of nations, at the polls. Mir. Cummings refused, how ever, to discuss the Presidents views further.
 As usual. MT. Cummings would not discuss the possibility that MT Will son might be a candidate for a third term in an effort to have the treaty ratified as he wrote it.
 Asked what the President thought of the investigation of campaign ex- penditureS of Presidential candidates, Cummings said:
 President in Excellent Humor.
 'I have already told you the Presi- dent was in excellent humor."
 MT. Cummings will leave tomorrow for San Francisco.
 Cummings conference with the President was the first the party's principal executive and its leader have had since MT. Wilson became i'll late last fall. It indicates the extent tc which the President hopes to shape the policies drawn at San Francisco and the importance he attaches to the treaty in the campaign Cummings has kept in indirect touch with the White House throughout the winter and has been able to ascertain the views of the President on importan1 matters. But the talk today was the first time the President has discussed politics in detail since his illness.

NO BUILDING NOW.
Million Dollar Project Held Up Be-
 cause of High Prices.

At a meeting of the executive com- mittee of the Hardware City Loan corporation a few days ago the board of directors were advised not to go ahead with the corporation building plan that was to be put in operation this spring. The plan involved an expenditure of nearly $1,000,000 for the purpose of constructing homes for the working men in New Britain to be paid for on easy terms. The sharp advance in price Of all building material in the past few months was the main factor influencing the eX- ecutive committee to advise the hold ing up of plans for the time being. The plan called for homes to be built in New Britain. Maple Filf, Berlin, Newington and Barnesdale and it was constructed with the idea of thwart- ing the plans of rent profteers.
 Manager H. J. Florin made state meht today that the corporation would continue loaning money on easy terms to workmen in need of a home, tnd that the decision of the executive committee on the building plan would in no way affect the loan plan that the corporation has put in practice.

 IN SUBMARINE WRECK
Arc Believed to Have Either Been SuffOcated Or Washed Overheard
 As Boat Grounded.

San Diego, Cal, March 15.-Sur- vivors of the r. S. Submarine HI, which grounded last Friday at the entrance of the Magdalena Bay, Lower California, with the loss of Lieut.. Commander James R. Webb and three members of the crew, are aboard the steamer Mazatlan, due here March IS. according to advices received here today.
 In the absence of authentic reports to the manner in which the four naval men were killed belief in naval circles here was that they either were asphyxiated by chlorine gas generated when water reached the Submersible's batteries or were car ried overheard while attempting to
 escape the fumes after the HI had
 beached. Wireless messages to Rear Admiral Roger Welles said chlorine
 gas was pouring from the coming tower of the craft last Saturday 24 hours after she had beached and that a heavy sea was running. The destroyers Sinclair, McCawley and Meade are standing by the HI and the destroyer Woolsey and the fuel ship Neptune are enroute tc 1 the scene of the accident which i: It was believed here the HI could 1 be saved.

He learned that Pomeroy and Scott had boarded a freight train bound for Canada anu wired orders to Deputy Sheriff Arm- strong to form a posse, meet the train at Jackman and arrest the men.
 Late yesterday word was received from Jackman that Pomeroy and Scott had been arrested without re- sistance. The authorities here eN- pressed the opinion that although Moore's valuables were found undis- turbed robbery was the probable motive for the alleged crime. They said they had learned that PomeroV had borrowed a revolver from res ident of Greenville saying he wanted it for protection and that both he and Scott had tried to borrow money from various persons here. When the men were arrested they had no weapons. They refused to make any statement.

GIRL IS HIRED TO
 VAMP HELPLESS MEN
She Is Sent AWay-Man Held
 for Trial

Finding probable cause in the case or Pastola Columbo, who was ar ralgned in the police court this morn- ing on the charge of keeping a disor- derly house and receiving wrongfully money from q woman. Judge John H. kirkham bound over the accused to the next term of the superior court in bonds of $1,0OO. Columbo was rep resented by Attorney Albert A. Green berg.
 Columbo is said to be the proprie- tor ot q Spanish restaurant at PIP East Main street and is charged with keeping young woman in the place to attract men. It is alleged that he received money from the girl. How ever. he said that he did not know why she gave him the money and thought it was for Jack Baba, whom he said, was the proprietor. Colum- bo, in his testimony, denied being the owner of, the house and informed the court that he did not hire the girl He said that Baha hired him and paid him $20 g month to take care of the kitchen. Since the raid took place no one claims the ownership of the res taurant. The police are of the opin- ion that Baba has left town as he did not want to be implicated in the case.
 Girl is Sent Away.
 Gertrude Kachler charged with misconduct pleaded guilty to the charge and stated that she had been hired to come to the restaurant to at tract men. She told the court that Colunaho had hired her and told her that he was the boss. She also aS- serted that she had given him half of the money which she had received from men who visited the place. Judge Kirkham committed her to the Come State Farm at Norwich.
 Fined For Misconduct.
 Ralph Adams, who claims to be new resident of this city pleaded to the charge of misconduct. He was accused of freqU CT ting the restaurant and associating with the woman. Judge Kirkham fined him s1O and costs. Attorney Albert A. Greenberg represented the accused.
