Cheer Demand
Wilson Disavow
A Third Term
House Democrats Lead in
Applauding Humphreys
Criticism of President
for Remaining Silent

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March Demo-
cratic members Of the House of Repre-
sentatiVes, including Democratic Lead
er Champ Clark and Claude Kitchin,
former leader, cheered a demand made
in the House to-day by Representative
Humphreys, Democrat, Of Mississippi
that President Wilson announce wheth-
er ne is candidate for a third term.
Mr.. Humphreys declared President
Wilson should not be considered for a
third term, and he criticized the Pres
dent for remaining silent on the ques-
tlon while his personal friends were
actively booming him for another term
When Mr.. Humphreys concluded the
Democrats in the House were more vo-
ciferous in their applause than were
the Republicans. Champ Clark and
Representative Kitchin rushed to him
and patted him on the back, while other
Democrats crowded around and shook
hands with him.
Regrets Silence of President
Il regret that the President has re-
mained silent as to his intentions in
the matter of third term" said Mr.
Humphreys. "and that he has permitted
SO many of his friends, including men,
bers Of the Cabinet, to advocate pub
licly his reelection to a third term
and by remaining silent has allowed
the country to believe he was willing
to break the ancient precedent"
After quoting the views of other
American Presidents on the third term
including those Of Jefferson and Jack
son. Mr.. Humphreys referred to Presi-
dent Wilson's declarations on the sub
ject and quoted the single term plank
OF the Democratic platform on which
PRESIDENT Wilson was elected the first
time.
~ do not believe" said Mr.. Hum
phreys, chat Lincoln's heart could ever
have entertained for moment the sug-
gestion that he should offer him
self for third term. 1t is unthink-
able"
Third Term Condemned
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Kan.
sas, Mr.. Humphreys told the House
adopted resolutions condemning an
other term when third term was sug-
gested for General Grant.
"The Republicans of PENNSYLVANIA. y
SAID Mr.. Humphreys, "resolved that we
declare a firm and unqualified adher-
ence to the unwritten law Of the Re-
public, which wisely and under the
sanction of the most venerable of ex-
amples limits the Presidential service
Of any citizen to two terms, and we
the Republicans Of Pennsylvania, in
recognition of this law, are unalterably
opposed to the election to the Presi-
dency of any person for a third term
"These are the precedents which
have come down to US from those who
have carried the torch of liberty
through a century of effort to negative
and discredit the theory Of the divine
right of kings" Mr.. Humphreys con-
tinued. at was because we sensed
danger in the air and reckoned accu-
rately that this old tradition was about
to be challenged that we adopted a
single term plank in the Democratic
platform in 1912"

Polish Forces Hold Reds
In Check on 4OO-Mile Front

WARSAW, March ,25.-Bolshevik at
tacks have been launched against the
Polish line at scattered points along
front of approximately 400 miles, and
the long-planned spring attack by the
Russian Soviet armies apparently has
been commenced
While the Bolsheviki have made
small advances at some places, despite
the desperate resistance of the Poles,
the latter have been holding the enemy
in check in most sections, say official
statements. The "Reds" have been
compelled to retreat from several new
ly acquired positions along the front,
but fighting still continues, the Soviet
troops using heavy artillery, tanks,
armored cars and other apparatus cap
tured from General Denikine on the
south Russian front.
Most severe fighting took place Tues
day on the Polesian- Podolian front,
near the Galician frons,er, the Boil

Probes
Fire and Police
Wage Crusade
Two Organizations Accused
by Mayor of Improper
Political Activity and
Also disappearing Him

Mayor Hylan yesterday ordered
Commissioner of Accounts Hirshfeld
to begin an investigation of the activi-
ties of the Patrolmen's Benevolent As
sociation and the Uniformed Firemcn's
Association, both active in the fight
for increased wages for fremen and
policemen and the Improvement of
working conditions.
In a letter addressed to Commission
er Hirshfield the Mayor accuses the
two organizations Of illegal and i'm
proper political activity and of mis-
representing him in statements to the
press. The Mayors arrows were di-
rected particularly against lone Joseph
J.. O'Reilly," social secretary of both
the patrolmen's and fremen's organiza-
to foment a strike Of policemen and
flremen last summer.
In reply to the Mayors charges Mr..
O'Reilly said last night that both as
sociations will be glad to submit to
any investigation. He denied any it,
legal activities on the part of either.
He said it was curious the Mayor
should refer to him as zone Joseph j.
O'Reilly," when Mr.. Hylan came to his
office at 5 Beekman Street on the eve
of the last mayoralty election and
pleaded with him to swing the fremen's
and policemen's votes in his behalf
Mayor Peeved, Says O'Reilly
Mr.. O'Reilly attributed the Mayors
order for an investigation to the fact
that "the Mayor is still sore about the
defeat suffered by his crowd at the last
election, which, he realizes, has been
accomplished through the votes of city
employees, who are disgusted with his
conduct and his unscrupulous failure
to fulfill his promises to them"
Mr. O'Reilly branded the Mayors
accusation against him and officers of
the tiremen's and patrolmen's organiza-
tlons as fomenters of a. strike move
ment as "a piece of dastardly calumny."
eff there was any person who was
opposed to the idea of a strike by city
employees that person was l." said Mr..
O'Reilly
Mayor Hylan in ordering Commits
sioner Hirshfield to make the investi-
cation directed the commissioner to
report to him as speedily as possible
whether O'Reilly is being paid by the
firemen and policemen or has any con-
nection with political organizations
or has promised the support of police
men and tiremen to legislators favor
ing increases of salary or any other
thing to further what he styled their
own selfish ends.

where the "Keds" attempted TO cross
the Slutch River East of Kamenetz-
Podolsk the battle is still going on,
both sides using artillery and bringing
up reintorcements. Some crack Boil
shevik divisions are in line along this
sector, and cavalry is being used.
Royno is particularly valuable to the
Poles, as through it runs the only rail-
road by which supplies can be shipped
to the army along the southeastern
front. In their drive against this city
Tuesday the Bolshevik hurled two d.
visions into the battle in an attempt
to outfank the Poles. Hand-to-hand
fighting ensued in villages just to the
east of the Slutch River, and the en-
emy was finally compelled to retire.
He resumed the onslaught, however.
and the struggle is still going on in
the vicinity of Bubar and Ostropol,
where, in spite of their use of heavy
artillery in preparation for their as
sault, the "Reds" have not succeeded
in crossing the Slutch.
In sectors where the Poles have re-
PEELED the Soviet hordes they have
found great heaps of bridge materials
which were brought up in preparation
for crossing several streams that flow
along the front.
Northeast and east of Kamenetz-
Podolsk, near the Dniester River, the
Bolsheviki have been using their heav-
lest guns and apparently have made
slight gains, having captured the viii
lage of Mohilev {not the important
city Of the same name) several days

Doctor Is Lured

Double Murder
Brooklyn Physician Called
on Mysterious Errand;
Found Slain in Room
With an Italian Lodger

A man who seemed to be in a great
hurry ran up the steps of DR.. Vincent
Campisi's home at 46 Stagg Street
Brooklyn, late yesterday afternoon. DR.
Campisi's brother, Samuel, heard him
ask the physician to accompany him to
Lorimer Street at once. He said a
man there needed medical attention
right away. DR.. Campisi got his medi-
cine case and went.
1t was about half an hour later that
Frank Ambrose, who lives at 499 Lori
mer Street, heard a crash of glass and
the tinkle of fragmens falling in the
yard Of 1876 Lorimer Street, furnished
room house next door. 1t seemed to
him also that he heard the confused
sounds of a struggle in an upper room
OF the house. He went out to look fo,
policeman.
Neighbor Gives Alarm
He was not more than fifteen min.

Lander, Of the Herbert Street police
station. 1t was just quarter of 7, the
patrolman remembers, when they
climbed the stairs of 496 Lorime1
Street with Mrs. Dorothy Parker, the
landlady, toiling along behind them
explaining at every step that there
could not have been any trouble in her
house, which, everybody knew, was
above reproach.
They stopped at the first landing at
the door of a small rear room from
which the crash of glass had come.
The door was unlocked and the patrol
man turned the knob. After moving
four or five inches the door jammed.
Lander looked through the aperture
calculated something under his breath
and turned sharply to the still ex-
postulating Mrs. Parker.

he said. 'Tis no sight for woman

Then he opened the door, showing
back into the room with its motion
the body of DR.. Campisi, which had
lodged against it, face up on the floor.
The physician was dead, stabbed twice
and blackjacked. Another dead man
lay across the bed as though he had
been thrown there in a struggle. He
had been choked to death.
Evidences of Struggle
Otherwise the room was untenanted.
There were some evidences of a
struggle. chair had been overturned

BERLIN, March 25.-The, situation
IN Berlin is approaching normal again.
There is rush of cabs and drays, but
streetcars are not yet running. News
papers are expected to resume publica-
tion tomorrow. Restaurants have be-
gun opening in larger numbers, but
the streets are almost pitch dark at
night, as the supply of electricity is
insufficient. The banks report that
business is more regular, although the
Boerse has not resumed. The water
supply failed in the northern parts of
the city and water sold there for five
marks (normally $1.26) a bucket. The
guests at the hotels again rejoice at
having electric lights after week of
candlelight.
The streets are now almost free Of
troops, except in the vicinity of govern
mental Offices, the government having
agreed to a withdrawal of troops to
appease the workmen's organizations.
The Tribune correspondent talked
with several Independent Socialist. lead
ers and found more reasonable state
ment of facts than has been currently
reported. They utterly denied that
anywhere in Germany an effort has
been made to declare Soviet republic
These leaders evince a conciliatory
feeling because the government acceded
to their demands that workmen be ad-
mitted 20 the safety troops, that Noske
and Heine resign, and that troops be
tions mentioned. 1t is evident that
the Independent and Majority Socialists
are playing hard game for position.
Demanded New Government
After the general strike had been de-
clared ended without the sanction of
the Independents, they decided they
cal advantage from the situation. The
Independents demanded that new gov
ernment be formed consisting exclu-
sively of men approved by labor or.
CARNATIONS. The Majority Socialists,
also fencing for position, agreed to
this, but on the condition that the
other two coalition parties, viz, the
Democrats and the Catholics, accept
the proposal, knowing that acceptance
by them was absolutely out of the
question.
The "Frankfurter zeitung" does
not hesitate to say that, Ludendorff
was the soul of the Kapp movement
1t appears now that conspiracy was
conducted jointly with the so-called
society to combat Bolshevsm, the bulk
of whose members did not suspect the
real object of their contributions.
Many bankers and great manufacturers
were regular contributors, who had no
thought of giving money to reestabish
junkerdom. Former army officers,
however, got the upper hand in the or
ganization and made it the instrument
for camoufaging a farreaching con-
spiracy.
