Democratic national convention at
San Francisco swat President Wilson'S
league NJ nation plan II "A demand IL
rnaae for an unqualified endorsement
Of the treaty and league as advocated
by ~ PRESIDENT"
This IS tbs tip that is being given
oet here by men high in the councils
OF the Democratic party. There are
growing signs which indicate that
the Democratic convention as well
as the Republican will refuse to Tu.
q plank ir the party's platform en-
dorsitG the league. II the president
insists upon ar unrescrved endorse
r1ent NJ his fcht for the treaty, he is
likely TO find himself in a controversy.
The refusal OF the New York state
Democratic convention 10 give ap-
piovsl 70 a resolution calling for un-
reserved ratification Of the treaty has
set tho Democratic leaders guessing.
1t has started a move that is likely
To gain strength. as tho time for the
convention draws near. 1t will take
some pretty hoard work on the part
OF the presidents own supporters in
the convention tc prevent the party
declaration from going against him.
Tho New York Democrats followed
the precedent Of the Rhode Island
Democrats who in their convention
adopted a strong resolution condemn
ing Article Ten which President
Wilson terms the heart OF the COW
enent" Before the Rhode Island
Democrats 9cted, Abe Democrats of
f.ssa chusett< had spoken In their
primary election by turning down
every Candidate fot delegate to the
conventions who cid not come out
with an absolute condemnation OF
the league Of rations scheme. Sen
ator David Walsh, who fought the
president on the issue was elected
at the head % the convention ticket
by surprising majority.
REPUBLICAN PLANK
1t is alreadv known that the Re-
publican plank on the treaty will be
merely denunciation OF the league
plan as formulated by President Will
son and an endorsement for the Re-
publican me jority in the senate for
preventing the treaty from being rat
iied. The rleDk will contain no
mention of the reservations and Will
afford no cor1fott' to th'Se 'se"Uators
who hoped that their advocacy OF
the reservation plan would he given
approval by the convention.
Some of the irreconsilable oppon-
ents of the tire atty, notably Senator
Borah. would like to have the. plan
go further than that. and contain an
absolute declaration against both the
treaty and the league. But il is be-

ZONE TICKETS
 ARE POPULAR Manager Goodwin Pleased With Working of
 New Zones.

The new zone fare system is work ing out splendidIy, said Manager Jo- seph Goodwin this afternoon. It is working even better than the system that was in vogue up to this time he continued. There seems to be a scramble for zone tickets which in every way benefits the patron because the extra zone costs only two cents when ticket is given, while the cash fare requires three cents. These tic. kets are appreciated by those who take long rides.
 According to the official there has been no misunderstanding or con- fusion in putting the new system in- to force. The trolley men have been coached on their work and they have been able to answer all questions. Zone markers have been put up on the several lines to help the riding public understand when the different zones are entered.
 To assist the workers, several fac tories have the zone tickets on sale These may also be purchased from the inspectors and starters in the street as well as several of the stores in the business section.

FEW VIOLATE
 NEW RULING

New traffic regulations which for bid the parking of automobiles in Main street between East Washington avenue and South avenue, and in Fairfield avenue between the railroad station and CourtIand street. between the hours of a. m- and 10 D. m., went into effect this morning. So far there have been but few violations of the new rule, and in most cases the, offenders were outsiders who did not know of the new ordinance. Police. men were inclined to be lenient with car owners who parked their ma chimes inside the boundaries today, and many were released wilma warn. ing. Tagging will begin in earnest tomorrow.

'+I thought then he had only defended American sailors, a proper thing to do, when attacked unjuts1y by what he termed a. lawless element in Cork. If had known that he proposed. un- der the permission granted him, to tell the story of what the navy had done overseas, to denounce the Irish people as he did in his articles in The Worlds Work the permission would not have been granted"
 Secretary Daniels said he had never publicly or privately criticized Ad- miral Sims for lack of early vision in connection with the North Sea mine barrage project Or his other mistakes or wrong views.' Admiral Mayo suc- ceeded in convincing the British ad- miralty of the soundness of the bar rage scheme where Admiral Sims had failed, he said.
 Although the department had dis approved of some of his recomm enda- tions and denied some of his desires, 9 said Secretary Daniels, T mistakenly supposed until the letter of January T, that he had accepted and acquiesc- ed, with more or less grace, in the departments disposition of ships and it's other official actions, as a loyal officer accepts the decisions of his su- periors even though he might per- sona1ly hold other views"
 The Investigating committee, Sec retatry Daniels said, had been wearied and the public nauseated with 'an abortive attempt to ferret out the mole hills of mistakes and exaggerate them into mountains, to make a noble and notable accom- plishment appear as the dim and fading background of fronts-piece comparatively unimportant errors o1 judgment

Sims, Secretary Daniels told the connt5ttee, did not measure up to ex- pectations in various ways, of which he mentioned six, as follows:
 -He lacked vision to see that a great and new project to bar the s1b- marines from their hunting grounds should be promptly adopted and car ried out, no matter what the cost or how radical the departure from what ultraA-pTudeut men regarded as inn pGact11aabde-
 -fHe seemed to accept the views of the British admiralty as superior to anything that would come from Amer aca and urged those views even when the navy department proposed plans that proved more effective.
 'Tn public speeches and other ways he gave a maximum of credit to Brit ish efforts and minianized what his Country was doing
 'eHe coveted British decorations and seemed to place a. higher valuation on honors given abroad than on hon DTS that could be conferred by the American government.
 '@He aspired to become a member of the British Admiralty and wrote complainingly when the American government declined to permit him to accept such a tender by the King of England
 He placed protectlon or nlerchahI shipping as the main operation of our forces abroad, failing to appreciate that the protection of transports car >I-ying troops to France was the par amount naval da1ty until I felt inn peued to cable him peremptorify that such was our main mission"
 Secretary Daniels testified that had he known that in October, 1918, Sims had made statements refecdng upon the contributions of the United States army and navy to winning the war to members of Congress visiting abroad he would never have recom- mended his promotion.
 'fHe had not then attacked the Irish people, Secretary Daniels testified.

MANIJJFA CTURER SHOT
 BY MASKED BANDIT

Hoboken, N. J., May 10-Frederick Rueckert, vice president of the White Metal Manufacturing Co.,, shot five times by a masked burglar in his home here early Sunday, died in the St. Mary's hospital today.
 The police said today that they had no clue to Rueckert's assailant. The mask used by the man was found in the dining room of the house. There were no witnesses to the shooting Nothing of value was taken from the house, although there was cash and other vaIuables there at the time.
 Police today -discredited reports that the shooting was an act of re- venge or that the assailant may have been seeking the secret formula used by Rueckert's firm for making white metal.
 Entrance to the house was very carefully planned, according to the police and they believe that the as- sailant was an expert burglar who was surprised at his work by Rueck- ert before he had an opportunity to gather any loot.
 Rueckert, the police said, came to the United States from Germany in May, 1914, and immediately took ou: his first papers. When the war broke out his property was seized by the custodian of alien property. He took out his final papers after the signing of the armistice and got his property from the custodian
 Miss Elsie Vorrach, who was to have become Rueckert's bride within a few days, was at his bedside when he died.

Doornan Edward Buckley was sent to investigate the report and he arrived on the scene almost sinulta neously with Patrolnran Patrick Daly, who had also been notified of the discovery of the body. The policemen recognized the dead man as Leuten- ant O'NeiH.
 The last word which anyone re- ceived from Lieutenant O'NeiIl was in the form of a telephone caH to the Second precinct station last night. The officer was supposed to be on duty in that precinct from Il D. m until a. nn., but he called up last night and informed the lieutenant in charge that he would not report for duty inasrnuch as he was not feeling we'll.
