Caucus May Develop Strength.

Meantime, it is pointed out, Demo
cratic caucus may have developed the
real strength of the movement among
Democratic senators ito break away
from policy of resistance and put the
treaty through Should a majority of
the AZ Democrats vote in the caucus to
make such move, it is expected by
the Republicans that the effect would
be to bring over the votes needed for
ratification

Republicans Relying On Break
Among Democrats To Sc
cure Needed Votes.
81 VOTES ARE NEEDED
Assertions Is Made That % Democrats
Are Ready To Quit Wilson Lead
and Take Reservation Pro-
gram AS 1t Is.

Washington Possibilities of sub
stantial break in the Democratic Peace
treaty ranks in the Senate impelled
influential Democratic senators to
move for a caucus to discuss pos
sible change in party policy, and re-
vived the hopes of the Republicans
that the treaty might yet be ratified
with the Republican reservations
adopted at the last session of Con-
gress.
On the Republican side it was as
serted that the % Democrats, only
few short of the number required to
insure ratification, had signified a
willingness to quit the lead of Presi-
dent Wilson and take the Republican
reservation program as it is.
Dissatisfaction May Be Barred.
The movement for a Democratic
caucus may bring into the open the
dissatisfaction that has smouldered in
some Democratic quarters since the
President sent his letter to the caucus
of November 10, asking that the sena-
tors of his party vote against ratifi-
cation on the basis of the Republican
reservations. The seven senators who
disregarded his advice have been ac-
tive constantly in their effort to dis
suade others from the stand then
taken.
But among both Democrats and Re-
publicans it is realized that the en-
deavOr to break down Democratic re-
sistance still has a long way to go
if it is to succeed Sixty-four votes
are required to ratify the treaty, and
although "a Republicans voted for rat
ificatiOn in November, the party lead
ers are sure now of the support Of
only go That leaves 81 to be deliver
ed by the Democrats.
In the belief that time is fighting on
their side, the plan of the Republican
leaders is to first clear away collateral
issues of the treaty disagreement
when the subject comes again before
the Senate. The next reservation to
be considered in the revision being I'M
dertaken on the Senate floor is the

Mystery Shrouds Fate
Of Water Power Bill
Washington Puzzled as to VIII.
sons Action After Time Limit
for Approval Expires

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Inquiry
to-day failed to disclose the action
taken by President Wilson on the
water power bill. I, was learned at
the State Department that the measure
still was at the White House, but of
ticials there remained silent, although
1t had been announced that a list of
the measures remaining in the Pres-
dents hands and his action on each
might be given out.
Legislative record clerks at the CAP
itol said they had not been informed
whether the water power bill had been
approved within the time permitted
for it to become a law.
The water power bill was among
eleven measures given q "pocket veto'
when Congress adjourned Attorney
General Palmer later ruled that these
measures did not suffer veto unless
tho President refrained from approving
them within ten days after their re-
ceipt at the White House The time
for approving the water power bill ex-
pred last Friday at midnight, and the
other measures, including the war laws
repeal resolution and the resolution
creating q commission to confer with
Canadian authorities regarding restric-

wood, must be approved before mid

Detectives Give Up
Vain Digging gg g ON
Estate of Caruso
Lawyer for Fitzgerald Says
His Arrest Is Cloak to
Shield Real Culprit; Ac-
cused Charges Frame-Up

EASTHAMPTON, L. l., June 1e-The
host of private detectives working on
the mystery surrounding the theft Of
Mrs. Enrico Caruso's 100000 worth Of
Jewelry concluded to-day their vigorous
attack upon the subsoil of the 1OO-acre
estate, where they believed the jewelry
had been hidden. With the cessation
Of their toll they agreed that the case
is as battling as on the night of the
robbery.
The county authorities reiterate d
that the John Doe proceedings, sched
uled for Friday, will bring forth sensa-
tional evidence. Sylvester J. Kelsey.
who has been in charge of the investi-
cation. admitted that the arrest of the
chauffeur. Fitzgerald, was merely Incl
dental.
Henry ]. Goldsmith, attorney for
Fitzgerald came here again TODAY.
Tonight he said I'VE regard the ar
rest of Fitzgerald as q cloak to shield
the real culprit. Fitzgerald is abso-
lutely inocent of any crime
Threatenes Other Arrests
"At the John Doe inquiry we will
ask that the owners of the revolver
which Fitzgerald used on the night of
the discovery of the robbery also be
apprehended as particeps crimini. Mr.
and Mrs. Caruso are no better than
any one else. If the law must be uo-
held, it does not matter how high the
station of ViolAtors may be-"
fitzgerald was arrested on a charge
of violating the Sullivan law in having
revolver without a permit He said
the revolver was given him by Caruso
To-day newspaper men wero barred
from the Caruso estate, being told that
the only way in which they could COM
municate with Mrs. Caruso was by tel
ephone. Later the woman who an
swered the phone refused to reveal her
identity.
During the day Fitzgerald sent the
following cablegram to Caruso in
Cuba: "Arrested for having gun YOU
gave me. Madam refused to go my
bail. tSigned) Fitz"
Would Continue Duties
He told newspaper men that he in
tended to carry out his duties on the
estate and also to look after the safety
of Mrs. Caruso and her infant daughter
Gloria He said:
IF Mr.. Caruso was home now, things
would be different. I was arrested be-
cause | retained counsel. could see
That was being framed up and sent
tor my lawyers when certain detectives
threatened me if | did not answer the
questions the way they wished me to-"
1t was said tonight that the identity
of the "French army lieutenant" who
came to the Caruso home about three
weeks ago under unusual circum-
stances had been established. He
turned out to be an accredited repre-
sentative of the Italian Embassy who
was unable to make any one under
stand his mission.

has been suggested in the conference
that channels be provided for discount

provide the wool grower with cash IN
the absence of active buying on the part
of dealers and wooden mills.
The raw wool markets in Boston and
Philadelphia are exceedingly quiet, and
the government is said to be consider
ing the elimination of the scheduled
auctions of the wool stocks it still
holds. Growers throughout the West
are unable to find buyers for their new
clips, and what wool is sent to the
markets in the East on consignment
remains in large part unsold.
Prices have softened considerably,
and there is no indication that the bot

wool dealers. Since the first of the

Enter Women's Coat Field

Hart, Schaffner & Marx, one of the
largest manufacturers of mems cloth
ing. is about to enter the women's coat
field, according to an announcement
sent out from Chicago. Models for
the fall will be shown in New York and
Chicago within few days. Although
complete plans for distributing the
merchandise have not been made, it is
expected that some mems clothing
stores will handle the line of women's
garments. The company will confine
itself to staple models, according to
the announcement, thus avoiding the
risk of loss to the retailer through the
whims of fashion. The point that
mems fabrics and man tailoring" will
be used is stressed in the announce
ment. A few of the leading mems
stores on Fifth Avenue have started
handling women's clothing within the
past few years. The lines have been
confined largely to millinery, hosiery,
sport skirts, sweaters and motor coats.

WASHINGTON-June 16.--The ap-
poinsment Of Miguel Covarrubias, for
mer Mexican Ambassador to London
and dean of the Mexican diplomatic
corps, to the post Of Minister of For

can Embassy at Mexico City The de-

Coward at Hearing
Heated Exchange Enlivens
Suit of N. Y. and Queens
Concern Against Lawyer
for the Attorney General

The short and ugly word, In addition
TO the charge by one of the litigants
that the other was coward. enivened
tho taking of testimony yesterday be-
fore Special Master A. S. Gilbert in the
suit of the New York and Queens
County Gas Company against the At
torney General of New York State and
the Public Service Commission for an
increased rate.
Wilbur W Chambers, counsel for At
torney General Newton, called William
l.. Ransom, representing the gas COM
pany, liar. Mr.. Ransom called Mr.
Chambers liar. Things stood with
this brief exchange until Mr.. Cham
bcrs, turning to Mr. Ransom, said:
"You cannot tell the truth, and you are
coward as we'll"
At the outset of the hearing Mr. Gil
bert said he wanted the record to show
that in the Consolidated case upon
which he has filed his findings and rec,
concentrations the fact was not brought
out that depreciation in plant and prop
erty should not be charged against the
consumer. This, he said, was a charge
against the company.
willard f. Hines, called to the wit
ness stand by the defendants as an ex-
pert in gas matters, produced tables
and other data upon which the defend
ants base their defense that the COM
pany is not entitled to an increased
rate. These tables, said Mr. Hines,
represent the company's valuation at
the present time as 1925 900 upon which
to base a reasonable rate A charge Of
61a per cent, he said should be made
n do co. y ,,t,
ments.
Mr.. Gilbert said that in the Consoli-
dated Gas case, in which Mr.. Hines an
peared as a witness. no such evidence
had been offered. He asked Mr.. Hines
if this percentage should be charged to
the consumer, and Mr.. Hines replied
that the consumer must pay in rates
the amount necessary to pay for de-
probation. The company should set
aside this amount for depreciation. he
declared, and the books should show
this had been done.
Mr. Ransom said that he did not see
how he could cross-cXamine the wit
ness, as the tables presented had "been
carefully concealed" He had not seen
them before they were presented in
court and would require some time in
which to examine them Cross exam
ination was then suspended
Mr. Chambers asked the snecial mas
ter to fix date for s-examination.
He declared that in the Consolidated
case the defendants had been ready to
argue the case on the last day and that
counsel for the company had not been
ready.
sharp exchange occurred at this
juncture, in which Chambers and Ran
som called each other liars and Ransom
accused Chambers Of "being a liar ali
through the case"
Chambers again insisted upon fixing
definite date for ross-examination,
but Mr.. Gilbert said that if Judge
Ransom is willing TO have the matter
delayed. it does not hurt you"
you cannot tell the truth" said
Chambers, turning to Ransom. "and
you're coward as we'll. If the master
we're not present 7 would say more"
This ended the colloquy, and Milo B.
Maltbic. former Public Service Com
missioner, was called, and testified
along lines similar to the evidence
given by Hines.

Shoe Trade Dull

The manufacturing and wholesale
shoe trade is passing through the dull
est period experienced in the last de-
cade Retailers are still firm in their
determination to hold off buying their
fall stocks as long as opssible, and
many of them feel that if they place
orders next month they will be in time
to receive shipments when needed.
Few manufacturers are trying to push
sales at present, and the makers of
high grade footwear are inclined to
wait until the buyer shows a disposi-
tion to operate. The few price cuts
that have been made by manufacturers
have not been productive of large or
ders, it is said. In the meantime re-
tailers are ridding themselves of sur
plus stocks and broken styles through
the medium of drastic price cuts.
