No Chance
 Of assing
 New Treaty

Washington Il Little expectation is entertained by Republican leaders of the Senate today that President Hard ing's written request for the ratifica- tfon of the disputed Colombian treaty would be complied with at the pres ent session of the upper chamber of Congress.
 It is generally believed the Senate will adjourn Saturday until the ex- traordinary session of Congress next month without acting finally on the treaty, to which 21 Republican Sena- tors are reported to be opposed
 Senator Lodge of ssachusetts, Republican leader, and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations commit tee, probably will make an effort when the Senate Teconvenes to secure a unanimous consent agreement on a date for a final vote on ratification at the outset of the extraordinary ses- sion.
 To secure the agreement Senator Lodge may have to yield to the in sistence of Senators Johnson, Califor- mia Borah, Idaho, and others of the treaty's opponents, that when the treaty is taken up finally. it will be considered in open executive session

COUNSEL TRIES TO
 PROVE NEGLECT
 CAUSE OF INFECTION

Judge John E. Keeler. and the jury in the Superior court today heard evil dence offered in the case of Frank Miranti. Jr., vs- Lydia R. Gallo. The case is the outcome of an accident that occurred on Sept 24, 1919, when a motorcycle driven by the plaintiff collided with Mrs. Gal1o's machine.
 Dr. Owen J. Groark, at that time a member of the Emergency hospital staff, was called this morning. It seemed to be the object of Attorney Carl Foster for the defense to prove that the blood poisoning. the cause of the damages asked, had perhaps been caused by lack of care in cleans ing the wound Dr. Groark very clearly described the wound, the treatment, use of the Dakin solution that became famous during the World War, and told also of the skin grating operation.
 The patient was transferred by the emergency crew to St Vincent's hos pitaI, from which institution he was discharged on Jan. 18th, 1920. The original amount of damages asked was s5.OO0 and by amendment the amount was raised to s10.000.

} A Dusseldorf newspaper said yes- terday that if the Allied authorities followed out the lines laid down in the proclamation by General Degoutte the occupation of the city would be "supportable."
 General Gaucher, in direct com mand of French units here. has is sued a new proclamation laying en- phasis on the fact that the occupation is in no sense a hostile act toward the population and that not only was the freedom to work guaranteed but the Allied authorities would do their people and assure an ample food sup ply. He has stated, however, that the people must obey any regulations that may be laid down.
 Duisburg.-Vague hints that work throughout the Ruhr district of Ger many will cease within the next few days as the imm ediate result of al lied occupation and the seizure of customs, were made by German mine operators, civil officials and workmen here last night. There seemed to be little unrest among workingmen last evening after they had finished full days work, however, and thous- ands gathered on the streets to watch curiously the French sentries apdf machine guns and tanks They ap peared quiet cheerful and showed no resentment at the presence of allied troops.
 Germans declared it impossible to divert the heavy Rhine commerce overland outside of the occupied zone so as to avoid the customs zone and they expressed themselves as being firmly convinced that those directly affected would abandon competition in the world markets because of the high prices unless they were aided by the Berlin government. They ad- mitted they thought this extension of help was improbable.
 Civilians have been ordered to sur render all arms by this evening.
 The employees of thep osta1 service, the railroads and mines have been put under military control and strikes have been forbidden.

and Smyrna remain in Greek hands, g declared BekirSaTni Bey, the head of the Turkish Nationalist delegation.
 Turkey is willing tha the Allies take census of nationalities in Thrace and smyrna as a basis for revision of the treaty of Sevres, if the Turks who were residents of those districts last year are permitted to return home. We have complete confidence in the result
 At least 45O.00O Turks who are refugees from Thrace and smyrna now are living in Constantinople They abandoned their houses and their lands rather than submit to Greek rule. What we stress is that the inquiry of the allies be impartia and that the Greeks who are now in Thrace and Smyrna be prevented from h''Sn@ing pressure upon the inhab- itants."
 An Athens despatch to the Daily Express quotes Gen. Papoulas, com mander of the Greek army on the smyrna front, as saying that the l Greek troops would refuse to leave the occupied Turkish territory re- @ardless of the decision reached by the allies in London.

Within short time after he en- parked in the lifeboat with the crew. he was picked up by Captain Edward Pearl, of Long Beach, Stratford, who lowed the men to the dock of the Bridgeport Towing companp.
 Captain Robert Ferret, of the Bridgeport Towing line, who heard the distress whistle of the tug hastily despatched the tug Energy on a res cue mission. Nearing the mouth of the harbor and plunging through the heavy seas at full speed despite the thick mantles of fog. the Energy tain Bishop, which obstructed the harbor passage. The barge listed heavily on one side, and slowly sank to the sandbar where it rested part ly out of the water
 The Energy continued on its mis- sion, but arrived at the McWilliams too late to render assistance. It sue ceeded in recovering the five lighters, which had been cut adrift when the tug foundered, and which had drifted outside into Long Island Sound. All five were recovered, and brought into the harbor last night.
 When the McWilliams was aban- doned, the crew were forced to leave Rover, the mascot of the ship and the pet of the men. who became alarmed in the confusion and secreted himself on the sinking ship when efforts were made to bring him into the ifeboat- 4ue uoS eNIuenIly TeCFeated to the pilot house, the highest point on the vessel The pilot house was washed overheard, however, and drifted in shore this morning and when recov- cred the animal was found curled up inside, none the worse for its nights experience.
 An estimate on the losses could not be made today, although it was said that SLIGO in cash was lost when the McWi1hams went down. The money belonged to the crew of the boat, and was secreted in clothing located in

The McWilHams tug. owned by. the Red Ball Line and commanded by Captain Elmer Sherman of Bridge port, foundered near the mouth of the harbor shortly after o'clock. Before assistance could reach her, she was completely Swanped by the heavy seas and went to the bottom in 80 feet of water within a few minutes after being abandoned. Captain Sherman and his crew of nine men put off in a hfeboat and were later picked up and brought ashore with out injury.
 The coal bargS was sunk by the tug Energy of the James J. Hughes, Jr., Line of New York, which was rushing to the assistance Of the foundered tug. The barge, which was owned by Hugh Ditmar of New York, is thought to have dragged her anchor for she was laying acroSs the channel on sandbar at the mouth of. the harbor when rammed by the speeding tug.
 With five lighters of coal in tow, the McWilliamS was on its way to the local dock from New York with its tow consigned to the Patrick McGee Coal company and the Black Coal company. The craft was riding the unusually heavy seas successfully an- til within $50 yards of the Bug Light at the entrance to the harbor when she developed engine trouble and lay st the mercy of the tide and ele- nents.
 Captain Sherman in recounting his experience today stated the heavy fog prevented him from seeing hardly the length of his vessel. The break water bell could be heard but faintly and the only course left for tile cap tain and his men was to leave the vessel and attempt to gain the shore. The possibility of the waters eXtin- suishing the boilers and causing an explosion added to the serious sItua- ton. Captain sherman, as soon as the tug foundered, lashed down his NE fress signal until the waves envelop- ed the boat

Will Repair
 Congress St.
 Bridge Soon

l. Plans for the immediate repairing of the Congress Street bridge have been prepared by the city, and for warded to the United States Engineer office at Providence for approval A navigation has been set by the gov ernment officials for next Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the coun- cil chamber in the City hall.
 The specifications provide for the construction of a concrete and steel flooring and permanent struts be- tween the spans of the bridge to check the gradual movement of the structure from its underpining- The flooring will be laid under the chan mean low water. and will provide sufficient reinforcement for the bridge to prevent further movement of the piers from the foundations.
 Repairs to the bridge were advo- cated ill a report to Mayor Wilson by Herbert C. Keith, consulting en- gineer, on Feb II. and were estiInar- ed to cost between $35,0o0 and s50,- O0O.
 The main pier spans have moved ten inches nearer one another than when first erected. causing the arches to- settle, the walls to crack, the rein forcing rods to be barred. and making g immediately necessary 8 reduction in the length of the draw spans. The defects in the structure were pre- sumabIy caused by the movement of the piers from their original founda- ton by either sliding from the piles or by an almost imperceptfb1e tipping movement
 The plans for the repairs will be exhibited at the hearing. and are now available for inspection in the office of the City Engineer in the City hall.

Want Our Army Taken
 From Rhine
British and French Indicate They Favor Withdrawal
 of American Forces

London-Brjtish officials indicated today that they would welcome the complete withdrawal of the American army of occupation from the Rhine. This is believed to reflect the French opinion, also. The opinion is held that, as the Americans cannot CO., operate with the Allies in the imposi- ton of military penalties The Amer ican army may prove an embarrassing g obstacle.
 It was learned that Great Britain is not making any representations to Washington regarding participation in the Allied military movements on the Rhine by the United States forces. Great Britain is awaiting a, move by President Harding before taking any action.
 Paris.-The Allies have decided to apply customs penalties upon Ger many with out excepting the American zone of occupation from the other districts held by Allied armies of oc- cupation, according to special dis patches from London to French news papers today.
 The Allied statesmen, who consid- cred the subject in conference at London yesterday were said to have reached the decision that the regu- lation of economic questions being non-rni1itary in character, does not af- feet the army of occupation. The treaty issues involved, it was pointed d out, are in the hands of the economic experts of the Inter-AlIied Commis- sion.
 The foregoing cable means that the German custome houses in the Rhine district held by the American army of occupation will be taken over along with the customs stations in the zones occupied by the other allied armies of occupation. Whether the German customs dlepots in the Amer ican zone will be taken over by United States troops was not made clear
 Since the United States is not a party to the Versailles treaty and was not represented at the London indemnity conference, it is most prob able that the customs houses in the American zone will be taken over by French troops with possibly a. few British cooperating at the northern end of the American zone.
 London-Marsha1 Foch and Gen. Weygand, two of Frances foremost soldiers, who have been advising the supreme council on military affairs, left for Paris today. Gen. Weygand directed the Polish counter offensive last summer which saved Warsaw and defeated the Russians

BUILDERS SAY PRICES HALT
 OPERATIONS

The Connecticut Builders Exchange today sent this communication to The Times:
 '"The reason why there is no build ing going on in the state at present was explained today by figures pre- sented at the headquarters of the Connecticut Builders Exchange here, which show that from 1914 to 1921, materials have increased 100 per cent, labor 13S 1-2 per cent, while the increase in the cost of living from 1914 to date has been but S1 Is per cent.
 "One item in the labor column shows that in 1914 carpenters were earning 45 cents per hour, while this year they are demanding $1, an in- crease of 122 per cent. Other classes of labor have increased proportion ate1y.
 "One item in the materials column shows that sand, the cost of which is represented mainly by labor, was sold at $1 yard. Today $2.15 is being demanded. The greatest increase is shown by brick. In 1914 it could be bought for $9 a thousand: today $27 is being demanded, and increase of 300 per cent. Spruce that sold in 1914 for S30 per thousand feet, is to- day being priced at $5S.50, an i'm crease of so per cent
 Builders declare that the home seeker can't afford to pay these prices"

Deported Reds Lead
 In Revolt
All Quiet In Russia Three More Regiments Desert
 BolsheviA
(By Associated PreSs.)

The Hague - According to the Reva1 correspondent of the Rotter- gently deported from the United States are playing a prominent part in the new revolution in Russia. This correspondent asserts the deported Russians had great expectations of Russia but were bitterly disappointed when they found, he says. that the Communistic regime represented nothing but a sentence to an indef- mite term of hard labor without ade- quate food.'
 Copenhaigen-There was virtually no firing during the day yesterday be- tween the combatantS in the Petro- grad area, according to the Helsing- fors correspondent of the Po1tiken- The stream of fugitives from Russia into Finland has almost ceased, the correspondent reports, pointing to the conclusion that Petrograd has been cut off. The effects of the BoFsheV1k fire upon Kronstadt are declared to have been small, whereas great dam age is reported to have been caused in Petrograd by the firing from the outside.
 London-Reports from Russia re- garding the revolution against the Soviet regime continue to be obscure and conflicting. A Reuters dispatch from Helsingfors filed yesterday states the Russian agency there, has issued a statement that the. fate of Petrograd is still in the balance and denying that revolutionary troops are occupying three quarters of the city The dispatch says the insurgents have taken positions in a part of the city which is under fire from kronstadt and that it is also being sheI1ed by Bolshevik batteries located at Boul- kovo.
 Another Helsingfors despatch states that an artillery duel has been fought between the fortress of Krasnoye Gorka and several armored trains and that foreign couriers have been un- able to leave Petrograd. The fortress of Petropavlovsk has been badly damaged, it is said.
 A message to the London Times from Abo, Finland states that the batteries at Kronstadt, the Russian naval base where the revolution be- gan, opened fire yesterday against the seventh Bolshevik division which was attacking Revolutionary forces near Oranienbaum on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland.
 '"The whole of Russia" the mes sage adds, appears to be in a fer ment."
 Riga-Three brigades. of Bo1shevik soldiers in Moscow have deserted and joined the revolutionary forces, it is said in advices reaching here. The action of the soldiers was prompted by the very acute food situation at the Soviet capital.
