Peace Resolution Filed:

From, The Tribnne's Wnah;noto, p,

FROM me 1ra6hne's WASHINGTON Bureau
WASHINGTON, June chairman
Porter Of the House Committee on For
eign Affairs to-day took the final step
necessary before the House may take
up consideration of his peace resolu-
tion when he filed his committee's re-
port on the measure.
The Porter substitute for the Knox
peace resolution is to be disposed of
by the House before the end of this
week. Majority Floor Leader Mondell
promised both parties again to-day that
the resolution will be taken up on
Thursday, with the expectation it will
be passed some time Friday
The report on the resolution sets
forth that declaration of state of
peace SIS finding of fact'' and sit
therefore becomes the duty of Con-
gress to find this fact officially by de-
claring a state of peace"
A declaration OF state OF war and
declaration of state of peace are
separate acts, it continues, and sit is
unnecessary and perhaps unwise to re-
peal the declaration of a state of war,
which might raise the inference that
we have disavowed or repudiated the
war, and the annulment Of it might be
construed as mild apology for our
participation therein"

father. She went to his room, she said,
but was not permitted to enter. The
male nurse, Utterbach, barred the door
against her. Utterbach told her to get
lack to her own room, the girl said.

Tombs Court for arraignment when
Captain Cary had finished questioning

BERLIN, June 7.-Dr. Julius Wirth
German Chancellor, in an interview
granted The Tribune correspondent to-
day. pleaded for the immediate estab-
lishment Of peace between Germany
and the United States as the most i'm
portant step in the restoration of the
economic balance.
Only when America and Germany re-
sumo commercial and business rela-
tions, the Chancellor said, could the
economic life Of the world be restored,
He expressed the hope that the United
States and Germany would cooperate
in the rebuilding of the shattered
structure of central Europe. upon which
reconstruction throughout the world so
greatly depended.
Dr.. Wirth laid particular stress upon
the Importance of not doing ANYTHING
that would interfere, with carrying cut
the reparations program, and although
he indicated that his government was
not averse to obtaining a loan in
America, he said that this was a ques-
tion which would have to be consid-
cred in connection with the disposition
in Allied financial markets of German
reparatIon bonds, so as not to interfere
with the sale of those securities.
Involves Worlds Welfare
."The conclusion, as quickly as pos
sible, Of peace between the United
States and Germany" said the Chan
cellor, us not matter affecting mere
ly these two countries. The welfare
of the entire world is involved. For
only when all the nations are finally
at peace can the worlds economic life
be resumed. That, in turn, alone will
be able to give the world real peace.

Fitzalan Well Received

BELFAST, June 7 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) Fitzalan's
debut as Viceroy is considered to have
been distinct success. Religious feel
ing runs high here and there had been
doubts as to how the president of the
Catholic Union would be received. But
these were dispelled when, at the out
set of his speech, the Viceroy alluded
to the difference in creed and made 1t
the subject of humorous remarks.
His references to the auxiliaries and
his denunciation of murder pleased
the Belfast audience. A significant
passage in his speech was the admis-
sion that the partition act was not
perfect and needed amendment. and the
expression of his belief that it would
be amended in the not distant future.
Hugh O'NeiN, son of Lord O'Neill
was unanimously elected Speaker, and

Extraordinary Panel Dis
misses Charges Against
Twelve Persons Arrested

Charles Dickman, thirty-four years
old, Of 81 West 103d Street, indicted on
charges of selling liquor while en-
ployed as bartender ct S92 Columbus
Avenue, was acquitted yesterday in the
Supreme Court before Justice Henry
V. Borst by the first jury to try case
here under the new Mullan-G Gage law.
In addressing the jurors Justice
Borst told them they must act solely
or evidence presented and not be
swayed in any manner by personal con-
victions or prejudices. Justice Borst
is presiding over the Extraordinary
Term of the Supreme Court. He was
appointed by Governor Miller to dis
pose of the rapidly accommodating
liquor cases.
Patrolman Ford, Of the West Tooth
Street station, testified that on April 12
last he entered the saloon, and when
he seized glass from which a patron
had been drinking, Dickman attempted
to knock the glass from his hand.
Some OF the contents were saved and
sent to the city chemist for analysis.
Behind the bar, Ford said, he found a
glass which he thought contained
whisky. This, too, was seized and sent
to the chemist. The chemist testified
that each sample contained more than
the prescribed alcoholic content. Dick
man said that he thought the patrolman
was burglar, and in this manner ex-
planned his knocking the glass from
the officers hand. =-'e,

Assistant District Attorney Ferdi-

the jury and only those men who said
they had no prejudice against the law
that would prevent them from reaching
an impartial verdict were chosen. Act
ing District Attorney Joab H. Banton
sat in the courtroom during the selec-
tion of the jury.
That the office Of the District Attor-
ney had chosen it's best case for pres
entation was evident from the number
of assistant district attorneys who
waited until after the closing hour
to hear the decision.
The jury retired at $3.50 p. m. and
returned it's verdict at 7:05 p. m. The
first ballot taken showed that the jury
stood Z to for acquittal. The second
showed to 4 for acquittal, the next 9
to for acquittal and the fourth 10 to
Q for acquittal. On the fifth ballot the
decision was unanimous. Morris P. Alt
