Three of the fire rooms were
more than six feet deep in water,

draw the fires had to swim to the
ladders. To increase the confusion,
the ships lighting plant went out
of commission temporarily while
the men were in the water, Five of

covering from exhaustion when the
Mount Vernon reached here.
When it was reported to him
that the pumps failed to work,

possible to start few of the pumps
again and prevent the water from
rising.
More burlap was pulled out in
port today and Maj. Gen. Carol A.

ice, who conducted an inspection,
said all of the water was pumped

ter in the fire rooms.
General Devol declared that the
Mount vernon was seaworthy when
she left here.

JOE STECHER IS
MAT CHAMPION
THROWS CADDOCK
Nebraska Man Wins Heavy
weight Wrestling Title,
Following Struggle Last
ing More Than Two Hours

/. oRn,ao JOURNAL SPECIAL BASED wiRHI
New York, Jan. 30.--Joe Stecher,
Of Nebraska, tonight won the
heavyweight wrestling champion
ship at catch-as-catch-can by de-
feating Earl Caddock. of Iowa,
with n body scissors and arm lock
after more than two hours of
wrestling,
Madison Square Garden was
thronged to its capacity tonight
when Joe Stecher. of Nebraska,
met Earl Caddock, of Iowa, in an
endeavor to wrest from him the
title of heavyweight wrestling
champion. Referee George Both
ner started the bout at 9;lS
O'Clock.
Stecher had the advantage in
height and was seemingly about
twenty POUNDS heavier than Cad
dock. Both were very cautious at
the start and for ten minutes sim
ply paved each others neck and
shoulders.
After wrestling thirty minutes
Stecher threw Caddock to the mat
with a side trip and pounced or
top, trying for a body scissors.
Caddock twisted out of tight
quarters and regained an erect po'
sition cleverly.
Five minutes later Stecher went
| down in an attempt for a leg hold
! but Caddock could not keep hin
down and both were on their fee'
again in less than a minute
Stecher then got Caddock under
/ meath with side roll but was un'
able TO get any advantage. A for
ward body hold was equally un'
avaiing and both were on theil
feet after fifty minutes hat
elapsed.
An attempt for body scissors
by Stecher with Caddock under
meath, was foiled by the Iowa man
At the expiration of one hour
time both men were on their feet
The perspiration was dripping from
| them but neither showed any sigI
! of weakening.
| Stecher picked up his opponen
bodily and threw him to the ma
for another futile effort to obtaiT
a body scissors. Again Caddocki
wonderful dexterity enabled him Il
break free and they resumed up
right positions. They had beel
wrestling seventy-five minute
when Caddock rolled away from
another scissors attack and electr
fled the crowd by double foo
hold from behind which gave hin
an aggressive position.
They had gone ninety minute
when Stecher secured a headlocl
out of which Caddock squirmed
Caddoek gave wonderful exhibl
tion of defensive tactics in prevent
| ing a body scissors, and cleverl,
offset Stecher's persistent attacl
which lasted fully three minutes,
In another effort for a leg hold
Stecher showed his strength b.
lifing Caddock bodily while in
kneeling position. The match ha'
then gone one hour and forty-fiv
minutes.

DEMOCRAT SENATORS QUIT
BIPARTISAN CONFERENCE
ON TREATY RESER VA T7ONS

nouncing the negotiations were at
an end
we presented the Taft reserva-
ton on article ten as our PROPOSE
don. There was some conversation
as to its exact meaning. We urged
them to accept ii, or to take a few
days to decide. But Senator Lodge
said definitely he would not ac-
cept it.
1--WE then asked them if they had
any counter proposal or would
make one. Mr.. Lodge said he could
not make any counter-proposal. I
suggested that we try to agree on q
way for taking up the treaty in the
senate, but Senator Lodge did not
want meeting on that subject, So
we Are going 10 proceed TO call IT
up"
To this Senator Lodge had Moth
ing to add, nor would he indicate
what his attitude would be on a
motion to bring the treaty before
the senate. In his statement re-
viewing the accomplishments of the
committee, however, he set forth at
length his reasons for refusing to
compromise on article ten and the
Monroe doctrine.

this to say that | was unable to

tons two and five. dealing with
Article X and the Monroe Doctrine.

which provides that We shall as
sumo no obligation of any kind un-
der Article X except the one men
toned in the treaty. that we should
ourselves respect the boundaries OF
iother nations. cannot possibly per-
| nit of change.
"The change proposed IN reser-
walton No. 5 in regard to the Mon
roe Doctrine was an absolutely
vital one because it was asserted
as an official Interpretation by the
Representatives of Great Britain
that the Monroe Doctrine under
the treaty was TO be interpreted by
the league To this for one could
never assent and in view of the
statement made in Paris by the
British delegation, to which / have
referred, I regard the line which u
was proposed to strike out as alb
solutely necessary.
"The United States has always
interpreted the Monroe Doctrine
alone. 1t is our policy. No one
else has ever attempted TO interpre
ii and it is something in my judg
Iment which ought never to be per
United even by the most remote
Implication. If we should STRIKE
out that phrase now after it ha'
been accepted by the senate /
would lead to direct inference
that we left that question open
The right to interpret the Monroe
Doctrine, pertaining to the United
States alone, must never be op2i
