Liuuor Sent From
South to Chicago
Through New York
Circuitous Route Taken to
Avoid Dry Agents; Saloon
Man, Arrested. Asserts He
Wouldn't Pay Police Craft
Special Dispatch to The Tribune.

CHICAGO, Oct l6.-New confessions
to-day from members of the boss
booze ring which is said to have
handled millions Of dollars Of illegal
liquor in the last few months. revealed
that New York was a way-stop for
liquor shipped by circutous route :
from Louisville to Chicago.
Because of the close watch kept by
the Illinois state prohibition director,
members of the liquor ring became
alarmed two months ago and began
shipping by unexpected routes. As
New York is not generally regarded as
point of origin for liquor shipments,
members of The rng found it safer to
snip from Louisville 10 New York and
then Teroute thc liquor TO Chicago.
This was one Of the revelations made
by Andrew Pappss, one Of the two men
who have told their part in the opera
tionS of the whisky syndicate. Wire
tapped conversations obtained by de-
tectivcs also have brought into the
case the names Of two hitherto un-
mentioned women. one called Jean and
the other Anna. The Identities of both
have been partially established by gov
eminent agents and il is believed they
Will be arrested within Il day or two.
Fedora Investigation Of the part
which Chicago police have taken in the
operations OF the boss booze ring
was started to-day by allegations Of
Frank McGovern, q saloon man arrested
on charge of violation of the prohi-
bitiOn act. McGovern told the United
States Comm ssioner that he had not
been arrested until he refused to con-
tribute 500 a week to the police Of
one of the precincts. A subpoena was
issued by Commissioner Lewis +. Ma
son for the commander in charge Of
the precinct. He must appear at the
Federal Building Monday. The move
is expected to open up complete in
vestigation into the alleged relations
Of the Chicago police and the whisky
rings.
Another member of the liquor ring
was declared to have been arrested to-
day in the person Of Joe Salzer. Sal
zer is said TO have been the suburban
distributor for the Cadlcr ring. In
voices found in his possession led 10
the arrest of two cabaret proprietors
and the contiscation of nine cases of
whisky.
Major A. V. Dalrymple. Chicago pro-
hbition agent, returned to-day from
d visit to his home in Texas and began
an immediate inquiry into tic report
that huge shipments of Kentucky liquor
were on their way to Chicago by way
Of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New
York. The serial numbers Of the liquor
are in the possession of Chicago Off
cialS.

Liquor Raid on Spanish
Ship u Diplomatic Issue
Ambassador Expected TO Back
Protest Of Tice-Consui at
Norfolk in ,S0Iundoyn Case

NORFOLK. Va, Oct. 16.--Arthur c..
Humphries, Spanish vice consul here,
forwarded to-day to the Spanish En-
bassy at Washington copy of his
letter to Norman n. Hamilton, Collec-
tor Of Customs, protesting against the
raid made on the Spanish steamship
Salvadora in Hampton Roads last
Tuesday night by Federal prohibition
agents. Mr. Humphries expects that
the incident will bring a protest to
the State Department from the
Spanish Ambassador.
In discussing his action Mr. Humph-
ries said:
can occurrence of this sort more
than mortifes every fair minded
American citizen My own feeling is
that the responsible authorities in
Washington will be glad to disavow
anything like an Endorsement of such
outrageous procedure as characterized
the so-called searching of the Saliva
dora in this arbor on the night of
October 12."

Some of Missing Pearls of
Necklace We're Taken or

Mrs. John d. Spreckcls jr.. of San
in London has brought a Grimm ac
ton against Captain William n. Bar
rett, of Los Angeles, for an alleged
theft Of jewels valued at 100000, ar
rived here last night on the Cunard
liner Caronia. She will depart for San
Francisco within a few days, where
she will be joined by her husband, who
is now in Norway. Within five or six
weeks, she said, she would return to
England to assist her counsel in the
prosecution of Barrett.
ANY reports to the effect that | have
rclcnted and will not push the Grim

GUS said Mrs. Spreckels. Il shall re-
turn to London and do all in my power
to bring about the prosecution OF the

81 always thought we'll of the police
authorities Of America, but their ac-
ton in letting Barrett slip away from

efficiency
Refuses to Discuss Affairs
Mrs. Spreckels intimated that her
solicited in London had the case we'll
in hand, and that some action would be
forthcoming on her return to England
in December She said she was advised
by counsel not to discuss her affairs on
arrival here and for that reason she
could not tell what progress had been
made in the prosecution of Barrett
81 have no doubt whatever that Cap
tain Barrett is now in Mexico, where
he cannot be eXtradited to Great Brit
ain But he cannot stay forever in
Mexico, and sooner or later will be
caught.
Theft Was Surprise
81 could not at first believe that he
had sold the pearl necklace | had in
trusted to his keeping that he might
have it insured. No one would suspect
him. Because of his marriage to Miss
Alice Gordon DreXel, of Philadelp lphia,
he had entr6e to many of the best
homes in London, and he was well
known in the shops.
SHORTLY before I left England | re-
covered the pearl necklace. 1t had

was finally turned over to Tiffany G.

pearls were missing, and we learned
that they were sent or taken to Amer

Barrett had made strenuous efforts

THE MAIN FACT
ABBOTT THE TREATY.

Out Of the confusion Of the treaty
situation, end the tiresome Incl
dents of strategic or tactical con
troversy, and the conflict Of homes It
opinion as TO what reservations
are sufficient to safeguard Ameri-
can independence Of alien super
government, one f1ct-and perhaps
only one-stands at this moment
clearly forth:
American independence of for
eign supergovernment has now been
safeguarded Ii is safe.
Consider what would have hap
pened If the Senate's resistance of
the Presidents arrogant demand
had been less resolute. If the So
called Lrreconcilables. Republican
and Democratic, had been less de-
termined; if Senator Lodge had
cen less patient and resourceful
in dealing with the various factors
and factions involved in this legis-
lative struggle unparalleled in our
history: if American common sense
throughout the country had been
more sluggish in It's conception OF
what Nj. Wilson's proposal really
meant
But today this republic. thank
heaven and the United States Sen
ate. is yet under no treaty obliga-
ton to preserve the territorial in
tegrity or political independence of
any other country than its own by
the employment of its military or
naval or economic forces, or TO in
tervene in any way in controversies

MR.. LODGES
PLAN.

Mr.. Lodge and his DICTIONARIES
are determined to kill the Treaty
because they will stop at nothing
in their resolve to destroy the work
Of Mr.. Wilson. That is their motive
no longer to be concealed After
all the great and small nations,
save Venezuela and the United
States, have accepted membership
in the League, not even the hum
blest and additionally credeulous
marine would listen for a moment
to the explanation that the United
States has found something in the
covenant which impairs its sove-
reignty and independence or runs
counter to its Constitution. The
obstructionists would be willing to
kin the Treaty in the Senate If
there were no other way But that
would put the sponsibility upon
the Republicans who control that
body, in which the Democrats,
with few exceptions, have been will
ing to vote for ratification. It Is the
hope OF Mr.. Lodge AND his follow
ers, therefore. that the Treaty may
be ratified and sent to the President
50 MANNED and mangled, so strip
ped of all power for good, that he
will be compelled to withhold 1t
from the other signatory Powers
Then, as they reason, the RESPONSE
bility for defeating the Treaty
would rest upon a Democratic Presi-
dent.
They overlook the fact that by
that procedure they would put
themselves altogether in his power.
He might dispatch the Treaty to
Paris with the bald statement that,
as the Constitution requires, he had
submitted the pact for the advice
and consent Of the Senate. with re-
suits which the other Powers would
find embodied in the resolution Of
ratification. If the other members
or the League accepted our mem
bership on such terms, the Repub-
leans would have lost their cam.
paign issue. They owuld be unable
to hold the President responsible
disappear altogether as a campaign
for rejection The Treaty would
issue, and the Republicans would
have nothing left to talk about in
the campaign but Mr.. Wilson's au-
tocratic ways, the high cost of liv-
ing. and burdensome taxes, for
which they, no longer the Dem9-
Gratis, are responsible. II. on the
other hand, the other Powers de
clared that with the Republican
reservations the Treaty was no
longer the instrument signed at
Versailles. and that the United
States could not be admitted to the
League under conditions which de-
prived its membership of all value
and efficiency in the works of peace
then the responsibility for our hu.
initiation and disgrace, for the CON
Of the state of war with
Germany, would rest altogether
upon Republican shoulders. aud all
the sophistries and false prctenses
in the world could not dislodge it.
