Peace by May l
General Reports Reasonable
Hope That Problems Will
Be Adjusted Before End
of the Menocal Regime
Financial Relief i'm Sight
U. S. Envoy Urges Changes in
Bill 10 Lif: Moratorium
and Creating Bank Board

Fron, The Tyibune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-In report
ing that he entertained a reasonable
hope for a settlement of the political
problems in Cuba before the end of
the Menocal administration, on May
/, Major General Enoch II. Crowder,
the Presidents personal emissary at
Havana, advised the State Departm ent
to-day fully on the provisions of the
Torriento bill, adopted by the Cuban
Senate as a measure of relief for the
present financial crisis in the island.
He is hopeful of settlement of the po-
litical turmoil in the island by May /.
General Crowder's report was not in
terp.eted by State Department officials
as approving the scheme for lifting the
moratorium which has been in effect
in Cuba since last October, for he sug-
gested several amendments that he
thought would improve the proposed
legislation.
If the suggested changes are ap-
proved b. the President. General
Crowder indicated that the Cuban
House would take favorable action, and
provision would be made Immediately
for putting into effect the remedies pro-
posed.
The measure provides for the estab-
lishment Of a commission of three mem
bers, named by the President, before
which all commercial houses and banks
can declare their intention of taking
advantage Of the law or remaining out
side.
Those institutions which accept the
commission will have their affairs
liquidated within a period of three
months, while those who elect to stay
out Immediately will cease to be
eligible to the provisions Of the mora
torium.
General Crowder said that he had
talked with numerous officials, bankers
and merchants on the contemplate ID
act, and that he found it in general
favor. He said, however, that some in
stitutions, financially able to meet all
obligations, had indicated that they
would welcome the immediate ending
of the moratorium.
1t was not disclosed at the State De-
partment what amendments to the law
as passed by the Cuban Senate Cen
era! EGrowder had suggested. 1t was
indicated, however, that Crowder's
Judgment would be supported, and that
the approval of this government to the
Dill as amended may be dispatched to
Havaria at once.
Discussing the political situation,
General Crowder said that the courts
alread. had taken up the contested
ranted the hope for settlement of the
Presidential dispute in time to prevent
the establishment of an ad interim gov
ernment to serve fol owing the termina-
ton OF President Menocal's administra-
tion in Nav.

ined yesterday in the Supreme Court

watchman, against former Police In
spector Dominick Henry, Detective
John j. Gunson and Detective John
Masoney for alleged assault and false
arrest.

entieth Street. On his route was a
house which the police raided becaus >
of complaints by neighbors. Bohan
said the proprietress Of that house was
one OF his clients, but he did not know
there was any reason Tor it to be under
suspicion.
Police Lieutenant Thomas Farrell, of
the 9th Precinct, who was on the desk
the night of June %, 1918, when Bohan
was brought in prisoner, denied that
ne or any ether person, so far as he
knew. refused to send word to Bohan's
family, as alleged by. the watchman.
Counsel for the plaintiff asked Lieu
tenart Farrell whether he had not re.
fused to entertain Detective Gunson'
charge against Bohan, to which The
witness rerlied in the negative.
Lieutenant Farrell denied that there
had been an erasure in the station
house blotter in the entry of the plain
tif's arrest. He insisted that the entry
was made at the time of the arrest,
ond not two days later, after Bohan
had been discharged, as the defendant
counsel ntimated.

from which Comptroller Craig, its
chairman, resigned when the Board OF

"where five big packers control the
food industry of this country"
Under the agreement reached weeks
ago, the bill and amendments were to
be voted on at o'clock. Senator Pitt
man, at 3:45, voted to recommit the
bill to the Committee on Agriculture.
This was ruled out of order On ap-
peal from the ruling of the Vice Presi-
dent, the chair was sustained, SO to 80.
Senator Hitchcock offered an amend
ment under which the packers would
have been required to bid on livestock
a week in advance. He held the big

On motion of Senator Wadsworth,
the term "livestock" as found in the
bill was restricted to cattle, sheep and
swine, and "horses, mules and goats

AS result of this amendment, mar
kets or yards where horses, mules Or
goats are kept, and not cattle, sheep
or swine, are not under the regulatory
provisions of the measure.
Amendm ents proposed by Senator
France calling for the most complete
publicity of proceedings of the COM

amendment by Senator Borah was
adopted which requires all proceedings

the members, to be public.

Wilson Sends Congress
Plea for the Air Mail

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-President
Wilson transmitted to Congress to-day
with his concurrence 81 report from
the National Advisory Committee for
aeronautics recommending continuance
of the air mail service.
The report asked for continuance
which the House recently voted against,
on the ground that it provided "a
necessary means for the development
Of the civil air craft activities of the
nation"
The air mail service, the report as
serted, ,ahad demonstrated the practi-
cability of heavier than air planes for
civil as we'll as for military uses. The
value Of the service, the report added,
might not be apparent in terms of dol
lars and cents, but would be easily
seen should the nation again be called
upon to mobilize its air forces
The postoffice appropriation bill, in
which appropriations for the air mail
service are embodied, is now before
the Senate Postofice Committee. I'm
less the Senate makes provision for
the service no funds will be available
after June 80.

LONDON, Jan. 24.-The significance
Of the visit here of Sir Auckland
Geddes, British Ambassador to the
United States, who arrived in Liver
pool this morning and in London to-
night, is now said to touch on Britain's
foreign trade problems and the fnan-
cial mission to the United States to be
undertaken soon by Lord Chalmers.
This interpretation, drawn despite
the absolute secrecy surrounding the
ambassadors presence, has grown out
Of the fact that he was met at the dock
by Sir John Henry, an old friend and
associate of his on the Board of
Trade. The two men entered a private
car and conferred during the trip to
London. Henry during the war was a
liaison official for all the departmen
Of the government and he is still in
close touch with them.
Sir Auckland was closely guarded by
Sect and Yard detectives from the
moment that he walked down the gang
plank at dawn, the first passenger to
alight.
The ambassador refused to be inter-
viewed in Liverpool, and the secret serv-
ice men kept all newspaper men away
from him. On his arrival in London
Sir Auckland was met at the station by
a group of reporters, but he insisted
he had nothing to say. When asked
whether he had been summoned to
England or had returned at his own
request. he said: "You may say that
the a,rIrangenl ent has been made to
Soon after his arrival the ambas-
sador went to the Foreign Office for a
conference with Sir William Tyrrell
Under Secretary and expert in Ameri-
can affairs. Again he went into con-
ference with Henry, and tonight he

Premier. Tomorrow Sir Auckland de-

Prohibition Crusader Tells
Ministers Issue Is Going
To Be Fought Out With
New York asBattle Ground

If American enforcement of the pro-
hibitfon amendment proves successful
the whole world will soon abolish
liquor, according to prophecy made
by William E. (Pussyfoot) Johnson
yesterday at the annual meeting of New
York ministers in the Marble COL
legiate Church, Twenty-ninth. Street
and Fifth Avenue.
The international crusader, whose ac-
tivities for the abolition of liquor in
England cost him an eye some time
ago, stressed the Importance Of New
York City as the focal point from which
news of the United States is dissent
gated in Europe, and declared the fight
for prohibition is being waged here
more than in any other spot in the
world.
Resolutions commencing Governor
Miller for his efforts to uphold respect
for the law and to secure the enforce
ment of prohibition" were adopted bv
the ministers. Another resolution
adopted urged the withdrawal of all
church advertising from the columns
OF metropolitan newspapers that stand
for the notification Of the prohibition
act.
The adoption, of the last resolution.
the ministers said, was an action taken
on their own initiative, and one for
which the Ant-Saloon League was in
no part responsible. 1t was offered by
DR.. Robert Watson, pastor of the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church, Ninety-sixth
Street and Central Park West.
Mr.. johnson told his hearers that
violations of the dry law will always
exist to the same extent that the laws
against robbery and other crimes are
brokens
"If America makes good and enforces
the law everywhere with the same sue
cess as she is now enforcing il, in most
parts" he said, "the whole world will
follow in our footsteps. But if America
tails civilization at this supreme mo-
nent the cause of prohibition through
out the world is dead for a hundred
years. short while ago the Prime
Minister Of England told a friend Of
mine that if America made good with
the prohibition law England itself
would be dry within ten years
And this issue is going to te fought
out right here in New York CITY more
than any other spot in the world.
Europe gets most sOf her cable news
from this city. Practically all the
American correspondents of European
journals are stationed here Europe
has little interest in anything that
happens in Kansas or Dakota. But
anything that happens in New York is
of interest in every home in Britain.
Proper enforcement of the law in this
city means more to prohibition
throughout the world than Goes en-
'orcement in all the rest of the coun.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24.-The clergy
do not agree on women's attire. AL
though the majority do not fay femi-
nine fashions as being imnlodest, they
say that if women do err. they do so
against health rather than against
morals.
Nearly 1900 clergymen in Philadel-
phia and other cities have given their
opinions in response to a query on the
subject.
Women's waists should cover their
necks unless they want to get pneu-
monia," advises the Rev. M. G. Kyle,
professor at Xenia United Presbyte-
rian Seminary, St. Louis.

Papal Secretary of State, dilates on the
terrible situation in Austria. The let
