cent years has such picture of de-
moralization been seen at Albany"
The committee declared that a great
deal of time was wasted by the legis-
lators in passing certain legislation
for the sole purpose of putting some
one in the hole" The two individuals
against whom most Of these attacks
were levelled were Governor Smith and
Mayor Hylan, the report said. The re-
port recommended a revision of the
rules of the legislative procedure.

away when the patrolman approached.

say, Egan passed to Gleason a box Of
twenty 90 caliber cartridge, which
Gleason dropped into HANDY cuspidor.

Great Alien Exodus Shown,

Figures just compiled by the immi-
grafton officials at Ellis Island show
that 334,254 aliens have left this coun-
try through the Port of New York in
of incoming aliens in the same period
was 314,46S. There were thus 1875
more outgoing than incoming aliens
during the year. immigration officials
however, declare that these figures do
not justify the conclusion that they
portend curtailment of the national
labor supply.
They do not believe that the number
Of outgoing aliens was excessive, nor
even normal. They point out that the
yearly exodus of aliens before the war
was from 100000 to 100000, while the
inflow amounted to nearly 100000 a
year.

, without doubt the Socialist custer

; of the slackness and carelessness
which characterized the entire session.
The wasted time and effort disclosed in
the passing of an unprecedented num-
Der of duplicate bills can be laid to
this cause. Bills were passed which
amended law one day and changed it
or repealed it the next.
Attention to the ordinary details of
legislation was lamentably lacking.
Even the expulsion of the Socialists did
not relieve the situation to any great
extent, and considerable part OF the
time of the Legislature thereafter was
concerned either with catching up or
with considering the remedial legisla-

CHICAGO, March 6.-Police Of
Chicago and several Eastern cities

rious disappearance of Angelus j.

ped from sight somewhere between
Chicago and Washington, d. c., who
was to take up with Government
officials proposals concerning a sub
marine depth bomb he had invented
and which was used by the navy dur

His sweetheart, Miss Mabel Mel

HOUSE DROPS AIRCRAFT
CHARGES AFTER DEBATE
Four Hours Consumed in Discussion
in Which Recriminations Fly
Thick and Fast.

For four hours today the House
engaged in heated discussion of the
wartime aircraft production in the
United States. Then the matter was
LAID aside, not TO be again taken up
probably at the present session Of
Congress.
The discussion was staged for po-
litical effect. The Republicans as
sailed the Democratic Administration
for alleged waste, or worse, in ex-
penditures on aircraft and failure Of
the effort made. The Democrats de-
MED the failure, waste and extrava-
gance charged, and accused the Re-
publicans of trying to make political
capital on insecure grounds.
Congressman Frear of sconsin
brought on the debate with pi esenta-
tion of his report from the special
subcomittee of the general committee
Investigating expenditures in. the
War Department in which there were
general charges against all the par
ties connected with aircraft produc-
ton. These charges were denied in a
minority report from the committee
made by Congressman LED Of Cali
foria.
In the absence OF any specific rec
concentrations for action either by
Congress or by any of the depart
ments of the Government in connec-
tion with matters discussed in the re.
port the House dropped the question
with the close of the debate.

BRITISH ARMAMENT
CUT, AYERS GEDDtS
New Ambassadors Says Post
War Strength to Be Less
Than Before Conflict.

LONDON, March 6.-Sir Auckland
Geddes. the new ambassador from
Great Britain to the United States ex-
pressed himself Of the opinion in an
interview that the postwar strength
of the British army and navy Will not
be as great as the strength of these
two arms of the defense was before
the war.
He asserted that England was
thoroughly in earnest in her endcav-
or to reduce armaments to the abso-
lutte minimum. Geddes also stated
that his country had been forced to
refuse to send troops to many parts
of Europe and the Near East, be-
cause of the diminishing of the
forces.
."As regards the British navy. there
has also been great reduction In
strength. Many of our ships have
been offered for sale and many more
have been placed in the dock yards
despite the fact that there has been
recently an unexampled call from
many parts of the European East for
light cruisers to protect communities
against the forces of disorder and
also to aid in refugee work.
Geddes said the strength of the
British army in Ireland was not as
large as was popularity supposed, con-
sisting of approximately $4,000 mon
stationed mainly at Curragh, the Irish
strength being little removed from
an equitable ratio OF other garrisons
in the British Isles and consisting
mainly of recruits and young soldiers
training for overseas garrisons.
Told of the suspicious attitude
prevalent in many parts of the
United States that Britain is advanc-
ing and supporting the league of ma
tions for self-aggrandizement, the
ambassador replied:
"All l am able to say on that ques-
ton is that this view Is surely MIS-
taken. The British statesmen who
are most kee My interested in the fur
therance Of the league are far from
being desirous of seeing any extcn
sion of territories under British r'he
or protection. but are simply men
who are jealous for the realization
of world peace.

Benedict XIV. although the papal
physician had advised medicinal
measures instead.
During the influenza epidemic,
which is now virtually at an end, the
disease spread to the Vatican and
several prelates of the papal court
had to take to their beds. Members
Of the famous Swiss guards and the
gendarmarie were also stricken.
After the death of Cardinal Rinol-
dini the papal physician strongly
advised Pope Benedict XIV to take a
complete rest and suspend all audi
ences IS the pontiff began to suffer
from slight chills and it was feared
that the chills would lead to infiu-
enza. But the pontifr refused, saying
that he was too busy to alter his
progress. He consented, however, to
lengthen his daily sunshine walks in
the Vatican gardens which he consid-
ers the best means Of warding on
sickness.

WILSON PAT"
IN TREATYROW
President Understood to Have
Refused Senator Simmons
An Audience.
The President stands pat,

The President stands pat
This was the word from the White
House today, in response to inquiries
as to what Woodrow Wilson's atti
tude would be toward q compromise
on Article 10 Of the league Of nations
covenant.
Democratic Hopes Dashed.
Senator Hitchcock last night wrote
ator Simmons, Democrat, as an ennis
sary who would lay before him a pro
posal for compromise on Article 10.
Democratic hopes of compromise
ratification were again dashed today
when the White House let II be known
that Wilson sees little need for dis
cussing the treaty situation further
with Administration Senators: that he
is adamant against any reservations
except interpretative ones. and that
he prefers to have Democratic SEN
ators try to convert Senator Lodge
rather than try to convert him.
Rebuns Compromise Group.
The President. 1t is understood,
feels that he made his position clear
to Senator Glass. when the latter was
at the White House some days ago,
and wonders why Democratic SEN
ators think 1t necessary for him to
reiterate. N
The position reported taken by the
President was taken to}indtcate that
he would decline to see Senatort Sim
mons. to discuss compromise. and
would so inform Senator Hitchcock.
II In replying to Hitchcock the
President thus rebuffs those Demo-
Gratis who want to compromise with
Lodge on q reservation to Article X,
all hope Of ratification will finally be
gone, Democratic leaders said today.
They said that the Presidents refusal
to discuss the situation. II he should
refuse, would anger some of his fol-
lowers, but hardly to the point of
causing them to revolt against his
leadership in sufficient numbers to
bring about ratification.
Hitchcock said this morning he had
not yet received a reply from the
President. He, therefore, declined to
discuss the reported Willingness OF
the President to negotiate with his
own followers for a modification of
his position. Hitchcock has made 1t
clear. however. that he does not see
how the President could bargain
with either the Democrats or the Re-
publicans over reservations, in view
of his repeated clear statements that
he would not accept anything de-
structive of the spirit OF the COW
enant.
