day that the people would no

of Rozanoff. Third, the rela-

were arousing the soldiers to re-

On Jan. rs a few hundred sold

unarmed. They refused, mutt

at Russian island. Here they
were joined by the guards and
mutinied again to prevent their
entry to the city. The general
sent an ice breaker to isolate the
island by breaking the ice. Soon
after this General Rozanoff called
a meeting of his officers and told

delight. had the privilege Of seeing
those four great men crawling on the
floor.
"Wc had our moments of relaxation" !"
he continued, "and when the council

Housing Bills,

Threatens to Kill Arti-Prof-

for Work, Senator Asserts
From, a stag Correspondent

ALBANY, March 17.-Because he
had not been permitted to take the
credit for the work Of the joint lcgis-
lativc housing committee, Speaker
Thaddeus c. Sweet is said to have
threatened to-day to block all bills
aimed at rent profiteers and measures
intended to remedy the housing situa-
tion
Senator Charles c.. Lockwood, chair
man of the housing committee, who is
fearful that Speaker Sweet will ATTEMPT
to k'll the legislation in the Assembly,
said:
Sweet was indignant because he
had not been given all the credit for
the preparation of the housing commit
tees bills and threatened to-kill them.
they are not my bills, nor his as I
pointed out to him, but the housing
committees, and are introduced not to
help any persons political fortunes, but
TO solve very serious situation."
Speaker Sweet had lively row with
Senator Lockwood this morning be-
cause the Brooklyn Senator caused the
legislative program to, be published
wood made clear, Speaker Sweet is not
member of the housing committc,
which has been holding public hearings
on the rent profiteering and housing
situation since last April.
Sweets Idea Called "Absurd"
Sweets idea of solving the housing
problem" said Senator Lockwood, "is
to increase the legal rate of interest
on mortgage loans from per cent to 8
per cent. Such rate, if enacted into
our law, would be nothing short of
legallzed usury and /, for one, would
not stand for it. And l don't think a
corporal's guard could be mustered be-
hind such an absurd proposition"
The quarrel between Lockwood ana
Sweet occurred in the latter's office.
The Speaker was seated at his desk,
which was covered with newspapers
telling Of the program decided upon
by the Housing Committee after con-
ferenccs with legislative leaders. Sweet
alone had not attended these confer
enccs, although invited on four occa-
slons to attend the conferences.

Copyright. 1920. New York Tribune Inc-s
LONDON, March 1.-THE out
standing features Of the situation in
Germany to-day are:
Chancellor Kapp and General
Won Luettwitz, f the short-lived
monarchist revolution, have re-
signed, it is officially announced in
Berlin.
Communist risings have assumed
threatening proportions in many
places.
A definite separatist movement
has been started in South Ger
many, especially in Munich, where
the people are voting on the ques-
tion of Bavarian autonomy.
The Ebert government is expected
to move Immediately from Dresden
to Berlin. In some quarters there
is a belief that something akin to a
dictatorship may be set UP in Berlin
until order is restored.
Surrender to Schiller
The revol'.ticmsts surrendered un-
conditionally to Vice-Chancellor
Schiller, who las remained III Ber-
lin throughout the crisis. The ring
leaders of the millsa. - ca1r are
said to be in prison in Berlin. Gen
eral Won Huesen has taken command
Of the troops in President Ebert's
name This is considered an impor-
tant step, for, although the reaction
ary movement failed after four days,
a difficult task remains in restoring
order.
Several hundred persons are re-
ported to have been killed in fierce
fighting in the outskirts cf Berlin,
Dresden and Frankfort. The indus
trial centers have been the scenes of
the btterest conflicts.
British official reports indicate
that the separatist movement in
Bavaria is being directed by DR..
Helm. who hopes to form an alliance
with Austria The collapse of the
Junker revolution probably will put
a stop to the open fight for auton-
omy.
