Reply of. Holland to Demand for Former Emperor Is
 Being Drafted

THE HAGUE, Jan. 21.-The reply of the Dutch government to the de- mand of the allied powers that the former German emperor should be given up to them for trial, is being drafted and will be forwarded some time this week to the Dutch minister at Paris for communication to the allies.
 Although Holland is determined to stick closely to diplomatic precedent and not publish or intimate the text of the reply until 1t is delivered. there is apparently no cause at the present time to make any change in the prediction of the Dutch newspa- peres that the Dutch government win decline to accede to the demand.
 The Associated Press was informed today by a high official. that the fsrmer German emperor had been in no way consulted about the reply, nor had he been even officially informed of the demand for his extradition.

SOCIALIST PARTY CONSP|RES
 WITH BOLSHEV|K HEADS, SAYS ATTORNEY IN NEW YORK HOUSE.
Declares Allegiance of Five Assemblymen given to "Aen and Invisible Empire, the Internatonale," and That They Are Hired Agents of Group of Aliens"
 to Overthrow the Government

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 21.-Investi- gation of the loyalty of the five sus- pended Socialist assemblymen, was asserted, at their trial today before the assembly judiciary committee, to involve the question as to whether Socialists "can hypocritically mas Querade as a political party, strike hands with every agency of force and revolution and still make simple American people understand they are not the sworn enemy of their coun- try and ready to overthrow it."
 This assertion was made by Martin w. Littleton, associate council for the committee to handle the case of Senator Truman H. Newberry of Michigan, in connection with whose election charges of fraud have been brought.
 He charged that Trotzky and Le- nine are attempting installation in America of the Soviet form of govern ment and that before the waves of public opinion stirred by this case have subsided this country will un- derstand that the so-called political party is the agent and co-conspirator with the dark forces of the invisible empire whose object is forcible de- struction of constitutional government in America
 Opposing a motion that charges against the five Socialists be dismiss ed, MT Littleton declared that the representation with reference to what these five men did and what they pro fess and what they engaged to do stands out as plainly as anything can stand out-that they gave their ale glance wholly and solely to an alien

LITHUANIA MAY MAKE ALLIANCE
 WITH SOVIETS
Esthonia, Letvia and Poland Form Combination Against
 Bolsheviki

HELSINGFORS. Jan. 21-The net result of the conference of represen- tatives of Esthonia, Letvia, Lithuania and Poland, which has been in pro- gross here for a week and which closed tonight, is the appointment of a commission to work out a plan for defensive alliance against Soviet Russia. The question of peace with the Bolshekiki is said not even to have been discussed. Whether it will be considered later will depend upon the lead of the allies, to whom the participants of the conference. with the possible exception of Lithuania, look for guidance.
 Apparently the difference between Lithuania and Poland are so irrecon- cilable that the former will not con- sent to be a party to any alliance in cluding Poland. 1t is learned that Lithuania at the outset of the confer ence proposed an alliance of Esthonia Letvia and Lithuania against Poland. The Esthonians replied that they were not empowered to consider such a proposal, while the Let's rejected it outright. After that Lithuania did not participate in the conference except as an observer.
 According to the Letvian and Polish delegates, Lithuania' is on the point of linking up with Germany, as well as concluding an armistice with Soviet Russia.

 MT. Littleton declared that Socialist legislators could be ruled by aliens paying party dues, and that they are the hired agent sof a group Of aliens. come to carry out the plans of the higher agents as far as they can in the councils of free government"
 Despite ruling by the chair that there should be no demonstration dur ing the trial, there was a burst of ap- plause from men and women who fill ed the floor and gallery when MT. Littleton, after denouncing the atti- tude of the Socialist party toward the war, referred to a remark by Morris HillQuit, chife counsel for the de- fense, saying:
 MT Hillquit said yesterday that what may be treason today, may be the law of the land tomorrow. IL will be the law of today if yoI let traitors write the law"
 This, latter brought sharp objections from Mir Hillquit. who declared, "Mr. Lttleton's reactionary, un-Amerioan statement invoked applause in this house to the everlasting shame of those who participated"
 The second day of the trial brought denial Of three more preliminary mo- tions by the defense-bringing the total introduced and .overruled to six Today's included reinstatement of the defendants during trial, dismissal of charges, because they do not include cause for dismissal, and production Of specifications ito which even the meanest criminal Is Justified"
 Argument on these motions consum- ed the entire day and delayed until tomorrow presentation of evidence.

At no time since the bipartisan con- ference began a week ago, one of the active leaders declared, have the pros poets been so bright for an agree ment between the four Republican and five Democratic members of the com mittee. It was added, however, that tomorrow might bring another change in the situation.
 Possibility of harmonizing differ ences over the fundamental contro- versies-article ten of the league of nations covenant and the question of equal voting in the league-were the basis of feeling among the conferees tonight that compromise may yet be reached The conferees also feel sure that, possibly with some difficulty, any compromise which the bipartisan conference might make will be ac- cepted by the senate.

MEXICAN PRESIDENT
 MODFIES DEMANDS
Confiscatory Regulations Sus- pended Till Meeting
 of Congress

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-President Carranza has granted presidential permits to American petroleum pro- ducers to resume oil drillings suspend ed in November, the American Associ- ation of Petroleum Producers in Mex ico announced tonight on the basis of advices from Mexico City.
 Petition for the permits, which was made to the American government early this month, specified that the permits would be accepted with the understanding that they would con tinue in force only temporarily or un- til the enactment of new oil legisla- ton by the Mexican government. It was provided in addition that the is- suance of acceptance of the permits would not be construed as compromis- ing either the rights of the oil com panies or the Mexican government in future permanent settlement of the controversy.
 In November all American oil com panies in Mexico were compelled to suspend their drilling operations by military forces on the ground that the companies had never received drilling permits from the Mexican govern ments. Terms under which the per mits first were offered included re- linquislment by the companies of all titles to their properties and agree ment to abide by the provisions of new petroleum legislation which the government was preparing to ask of congress.
 Opposition to the acceptance of the permits under the provisions was jus tified, officials of the oil companies asserted, for in December the Mexi- can senate passed a new petroleum bill which the officials claimed, was virtually confiscatory in character. AS the Mexican congress adjourned with out action by the house, however. IT. nal settlement of oil legislation was deferred until the convening of new congress after the elections this year.

SAN ANTONIO. Texas. Jan. 21.- Cognizance was taken by the senate subcommittee Investigating the Mex ican situation today of the Mexican official report that is being made to prevent the taking of testimony when there was inserted in the record the Mexican consurs instructions from the foreign office. That was followed by a request to Henry Torres. who had just testified. to report to the committee any refusal by a Mexican consul to wise his passports.
 great majority of Americans who have testified do not expect to re- turn to Mexico but there are few who do. Mexicans have not yet been asked to appear but many have given members of the committee informa- tion regarding conditions in their country. Only a few of them would risk returning to Mexico at the pres ent time even had they not been made aware of the Carranza govern ment's intentions to declare traitors all who testified.
 Regarding the Mexicans govern ment's attitude toward it's own na- tionals 1t appeared probable the committee would make no protest, but it was indicated any effort to penalize American passport holders would result in representations by the committee to the state depart ment
