WAY TO FURTHER ARGUMENT IS NOW
 VIRTUALLY CLOSED
FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN GREAT POWERS ON QUESTION IS EXPECTED U. s. COULD NOT ACCEPT PREVIOUS
 AGREEMENT BY PREMIERS.

Washington, Feb. 2O-(By the A. P.)-The position of the American government on the Adriatic settlement has been made so plain in President Wilson's reply to the allied note that administration off cials believe the way to further argument on the subject virtu- ally has been closed.
 It was said today, however, that by this they did not mean that the door to the further exchanges had beer shut. On the contrary a reply to the Presidents latest communication is anticipated and final agreement be- tween the great powers on the ques- tion expected.
 The President throughout the ex- change now in progress is understood to have made it perfectly clear that the United States cannot accept the settlement reached by the allied pre- nniers and concurred in by Italy and which was made the subject matter of the I1ltirnatum to Jugo Slavia last month.
 He also is said to have made it equally clear that enforcement of the Adriatic terms of the secret treaty of London, negotiated before the coun- try entered the war, would be wholly unacceptable to the United States.
 The presidents note still is in the hands of Acting Secretary Polk, to whom it was sent yesterday for study, and it was said at the State Depart rnent that it would not be dispatched today It probably will be put on the cables tomorrow.
 It was stated officially that the question of giving publicity to the ex- changes would wait on the delivery of the presidents note and the ac- quiesence of the other governments

DESCRIBE LAST
 haOvE IN CASE
 AS VERY CLEVER
Responsibility Arranged to Fall on Judge
 Light.

"A very clever move'' "One of tho best cases of passing the buck that we've had in some time.''
 These are the general trend of opinions heard on the latest move in the conspiracy case involving Attor- neys Henry Greenstein, Harry Mesard, Solomon Badesch and Francis J Breen, by which Judge John H. Light has been designated by States Attor. ney Homer s. Cummings to make full investigation of the case.
 This move,' stated a prominent lawyer this morning, '*1ets Delaney almost altogether out of it. He may be held to blame for Iaxness in pre- lininary investigation but if further prosecution is ordered by the City court the responsibility for this will not rest with either Delaney or Judge Bartlett but will fall in great part on the shoulders of Judge Light
 Another feature of the continued ease in court yesterday causing con- siderable comment is that when Att tOrney Jacob B. Klein for the defense taxed Prosecutor Delaney with being lax in his investigation preceding ar- rest, the latter made no defense oi his action nor intinated that future disclosures would show him right

LYNCH FOUND
 WIFE WASN'T
 TRUE TO HIM

While Harry B. Lynch was in the United States navy he learned his wife had been unfaithfu1 and he se- cured a divorce from Margaret Lynch in the superior court this morning. The case is unique for the reason that Lynch is in South America at present and as the action was uncon- tested the decree was granted with out either of the parties being pres ent Ill court. Judge Banks told At torney F. E. Morgan, counsel for Lynch, that a divorce could be grant ed under such circumstances if the case were proved.
 Lynch lived in this city before he went into the navy and a. woman who lived near him testified this morning that Mrs. Lynch had be- come a mother during her husbands s absence and that another man was the father of the infant. The wit ness said she went with Mrs. Lynch to the hospital.
 It was shown that Lynch has not been in this country since June |, 1918. Witnesses told of having seen Mrs. Lynch with the other man while her husband was in the service

TENDERS FALL INTO
 CHANNEL
F ear That Steeplechase Bridge May Topple
 Into Water.
WOULD CUT OFF
 MANY INDUSTRIES

Navigation up Johnson's Creek is seriously interfered with by the topping over into the channel of the lenders to the draw of the bridge connect ng Steeplecehase Island with he mainland. Fears are en- iertained that the draw itself will fall into the channel with the breaking up of the ice in the harbor.
 If this happens the channel will be entirely closed and a number of inn portant plants will be cut off from all communication with the harbor and Sound.
 Johnson's Creek is the connecting strait through which all the boats launched at the Lake Torpedo Boa Works reach the Sound and through which most of the supplies ar } brought to the Lake O., the Valvo- line Oil Co.,, the Wolverine Motor CO. and the Seaf-shipped Oyster Co.
 The closing of the creek for any length of time would seriously inter fere with these industries
 Steeplechase Island has recently been taken over by the Park Boar for an addition to the park system of the city and it will be up to the board to get busy and remove this obstruc- tion to navigation.
 The bridge has not been used since the island was a camping ground for state soldiers in the early part of the war.
 Since then the draw has been open and has been held in position by ca bles which were attached to the fen ders. With the loss of this support it would not require wind of a very high velocity to topple over the draw into the channel

UNION LABOR HAS FIGHT
 UNDER WAY

Washington, Feb. 20-Union labor, led by officers of the American Fed eration of Labor and the Railroad Brotherhoods, today had well under way it's fight in congress against the adoption of the re-drafted railroad reorganization bill. Besides the me moria1 prepared by representatives of 15 railroad unions and federation of ffcers at an all day conference yester- day and which was addressed to con- gress as a whole, individual congress men were deluged today by letters and telegrams from union leaders generally protesting against enact nent of the bill into law.
 The plan of the unions, it was shown, provide first for determined fight in the House and Senate. If defeated there the controversy will be taken direct to President Wilson in the hope of a veto. The opposition morial to Congress declaring the re- drafted bill to be destructive of the employeS' constitutional privileges and liberties, is based chiefly on the method proposed for handling wage and labor disputes.
 The provision for a fixed financial return to holders of railroad securi- ties also is attacked, the memorial holding that the provisions would constitute ''an abandonment of gov ernment for the common good, the establishment of government for private interest, special privilege and class benefit
 Principal objection to the labor ar bitration clause is based on the man. ner in which the special arbitration boards would be constituted and the manner of their operation. Union leaders contend that the arbitration boards, including the permanent fed eral board of nine members might be so composed as to eliminate labo' from representation.
 The method proposed of adjudicat ing labor disputes by groups of moi less than 100 employees, the leaders declared, would destroy all discip- ! line and lead to chaos,' because they would encourage the workers to dis regard existing agreements and long established orderly methods of pro- cedure.
 The union officials, as
 the memorial, see in the bill a 'tde- , termination to annul existing agree ments and destroy the organiza tions which negotiated them,'' and voice strongly their opposition to the pro- vision that would make ineligible for appointment to the labor board any person connected with an organiza- ton of employees. The provision. they point out, would result in forcing men Hong trained in labor union work to reIinquish associations of many years to accept such a position"

BILL PLACES POWER TO SELL
 WITH CONGRESS
Committee Orders Favor able Report on Jones
 Ship Bill.

Washington, Feb. 20-The Senate Commerce Committee today ordered favorably reported Chairman Jones bill prohibiting the sale of 30 former German passenger liners except as may hereafter be provided by Con- gress.
 While no record vote was taken on the bill, the committee previously adopted a motion 10 to 3, proposing that the sale be prohibited. Senators Edge, of New Jersey; F'renald, of Maine and Nelson of Minnesota, all Republicans, voted in the negative.
 Those supporting the motion were: Chairman Jones and Senators Ball Colt, Lenroot, McNary, Republicans; and Chamberlain, Fletcher, Kirby, RansdeIl and Sheppard, Democrats.
 While the committee hearing was in progress, counsel for the Shipping Board appeared before Associated Justice Bailey in the District Supreme Court to urge that William R. Hearst on whose taxpayer petition a tenn porary injunction against the sale had been issued, should be placed under $5,000, 900 bond to cover possible losses to the government due to the tying up of the craft by legal pro- ceedings. They estimated the daily prospective loss at $2O.OO0 and also pointed out that a contract to sell the Swanee for s2,OOO,OOo. held up by the injunction, expired today.
 . Counsel for MT. Hearst contended that only nominal bond should be re- quired, as board officials had told congress all bids had been rejected and that no sale would be made with out specific permission of congress.
 MT. Hearst sued, it was stated, no. for his personal gain, but in the pub, lie interest, to prevent loss to the government, and counsel added that a bond of $5,o0O,O00 required of a sin gle taxpayer would prevent public spirited persons in future from ap- plying to the courts in similar cases.
 Justice Bailey said he would be pre-, pared tomorrow to fix the bond anG intimated that the expenses already incurred as to the proposed sale probably would govern the amount ot the bond.
