Hylan Snubs Swami
Publicly; 10 Police
Called in Inquiry


Rule 1874, which, in effect, Or
ders all policemen on duty with
any investigating body to report
the findings of that body each day
to the Police Commissioner, was
still in force late last night. Eff
forts of District Attorney Swami
and former Governor Whitman to
clear the way for their investiga-
tion of the city administration by
obtaining its suspension proved
unavailing.
With this purpose in mind, Mr..
Swami called on Mayor Hylan at
his office yesterday. The Mayor
refused to see him.
Mr.. Swami also made four at
tempts to see Police Commission
er Enright for the same purpose.
Each time he was told the Com
missioner was "out."
1t is now the intention of Mr..
Swami and Mr.. Whitman to ap-
peal to the Legislature to remove
the obstruction.

Berlin Report Says Vienna
Regime Will Quit Jan
uary Is in Favor of Rep.
arations Commission
Famine Impending,
Currency Debased
Coalition With Germany
Long Sought as Only
Remedy for Situation

LONDON, Jan. Ill The Austrian
government has announced to the En-
tente that it is at the end of it's re-
sources and no longer is in q position
to continue, according to a report
which has reached official German
quarters, says London Times dis
patch from Berlin.
The government has declared its in
tention to retire January Is and place
the administration Of the country in
the hands of the Reparations Commits
sion, the dispatch adds.
Austria's collapse sets precedent in
modern times, as it will mark the first
occasion upon which an independent
country voluntarily has surrendered in
the face of economic odds and turned
itself over to outside control. The
event, forecast for months in dis
patches from Vienna and specifically
foretold in Tribune cable message
less than fortnight ago, is attributed
to the inability of the people of that
country to produce even small part
Of what they themselves consume.
Shorn of glory, power and most Of
its resources by the Treaty of St. Ger
main, the country has drifted along
for months, largely on charity, trusting
that some good fortune would bolster
the almost vanished value Of the ma
tional monetary unit, the krone, and
that turn of international affairs
would permit the union Of Austria with
some one of it's more powerful neigh
bors, preferably Germany.
Food Scarcity Chief Problem
The countrys inability to feed itself

Guilty On December IL the Austrian
Chancellor notified the Allied govern
ments that the food supply in his coun-
try would be exhausted by the end of
December. With the value of the kro-
ne at about one-twentieth of normal,
the Chancellor explained that it was
impossible to buy abroad, and help
would have to be given at least until
the next harvest.

precluded any connection between
Austria and either of these neighbors,
but also reduced the size Of Austria
from 240,935 to 5000 square miles and
left her without. coal mines, grain areas
or other important resources from
which livelihood could be earned. The
forests of the countr-'s hills and some
lesser mines offered the only possibil-
ity for exploitation.
Coalition Held Only Remedy
In this situation President Seitz .ast
October said that the future offered
his country only two possibilities Of
existence-a Danubian confederation,
which he regarded as impossible be-
cause it would involve union with some
hated enemies-or coalition with Ger
many.
This latter possibility has been open
ly sought in Austria, despite the cate
gorical objections Of the Allies, and

unanimously called on the government
to hold plebiscite on the subject.

Ripe for
disarmament.
Says Daniels
Secretary Tells Navy Affairs
Committee That, Pending
Universal Agreement, US
Should Add to Sea Power
Americas Rule Is Urged
Acting Head of State Dept.
Explains Wilson's Stand
on Scrapping All Fleets

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE pres
ent time was described as ripe for
movement toward limitation of naval
armaments by international agreement
by Secretary Daniels of the Nayy and
Acting Secretary Davis of the State
Department in testimony to-day before
the House Naval Affairs Committee.
Secretary Daniels said that in his
oplnlon the move might properly be
made by President elect Harding. who
} he said, could "call and hold an inter
national disarmament conference with
IN two months after his inauguration. :"
Mr.. Harding as President. the Secre
tary pointed out, would have complete
authorization to call such a conference
under the provisions of the 1916 naval
appropriation act
Secretary Davis said that President
Wilson had not called such a confer
ence because the President felt that
in view of the brief time he would re-
main III Office, such action would en-
barrass the incoming Administration.
Mr. Wilson did not use the powers
granted him in the 1916 act at the close
of the World War, Mr.. Davis said be-
cause he thought the participation by
the United States in the League Of Ma
tions would bring about the desired
result.
Data Are Requested
The committee was urged by Mr..
Daniels tc authorize continuance Of
work on the uncompleted portion Of
the 1916 three-year naval building pro-
gram until an International agreement
of some kind was reached. He as
serted that if no such agreement could
be obtained the United States should
build "the greatest navy in the world"
Asked by Chairman Butler if Great
Britain's geographic situation did not
entitle that nation to command of the
seas, Mr. Daniels stated that he did
not subscribe to this belief
"Thc United States has the longest
coast line" said the Naval Secretary,
"and has Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and
the Philippines to protect, as well as
a moral obligation in South America
under the Monroe Doctrine. We are
entitled to the largest navy in the
world if there is no international
agreement"
The pending Borah resolution pro-
posing so per cent reduction in naval
programs for the next five years on
the part Of the United States, Great
Britain and Japan was brought into
the discussion by Representative Brit
ten, Republican, of Illinois, and the
Naval Secretary Soiced his opposition
to the Borah proposal on the grounds
that it would leave this country second
in naval strength and did not take into
consideration armed land forces.
General Bliss Called
Chairman Butler asked Mr.. Daniels
to present to the committee tomorrow
data showing the naval construction
and projected programs of Japan and
Great Britain.

Tn- inquiry directed by former

There was little doubt left as to the

President Will
Decide Status
OF O'Callahan
Split Between Secretaries
ON Deportation Issue
Is Referred to Wilson
at Meeting of Cabinet

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Decision as
to the deportation of Lord Mayor
O'Callahan of Cork, who arrived in
Newport News last week as a stow
away without passport, was referred
to-day to President Wilson.
President Wilson'S advice was sought
ct to-day's Cabinet meeting. The
President thus was called upon to de-
eide between the position of Acting
Secretary Davis Of the State Depart
ment, who has insisted on exclusion of
the Lord Mayor from the United States
for attempting to enter without a pass
port, and that of Secretary of Labor
Wilson, who has refused to acknowl-
edge jurisdiction Of the State Depart
ment until the case has been formally
presented to it by the Labor Depart
ment
With the Labor Department declining
to recognize the jurisdiction of the
State Department and the State De-
partment insisting upon it's right 70
order the deportation Of O'Callahan
under wartime powers conferred upon
the President and his executive agent,
the Secretary of State, officials Of the
Labor Department said to-day the case
had reached an impasse calling for the
INTERPRETATION Of the President.
Secretary Wilson is known to be
willing to abide by any disposition
winch the President is inclined to
make Of the case and is prepared to
enter an order for deportation i'm
mediately, if that course should be in
dicated by President Wilson.
Upon the conclusion Of the Cabinet
meeting, however, Secretary Wilson de-
cined to make any statement, al
though il was indicated that an an
nouncement might be made tomorrow
b. the Labor Department.
Deportation Of O'Callahan was re-
qucsted Of the. Department Of Labor
to-day by Acting Secretary Davis. Mr..
Dayis's request was in writing. He
quoted as his authority for acting the
proclamation issued by President Will
sor on August 8, 1918, designating the
Secretary Of State az the one who
should decide whether an alien com
ing under passport regulations should
be admitted or denied admission to
the country.
The proclamation called upon all Of
the executive departments of the gov
ernment to cooperate with the Secrc-
tary Of State in carrying out the
President's order. 1t was based upon
war powers conferred upon the Ex-
ecutivc by Congress.
O'Callahan IL now in New York,
having been released by the Depart
mcnt Of Labor on parole and the Com
mission Of the Committee Of One Hun
dred investigating conditions in Ire
land, announced to-day that he would
testify before it Thursday 1t was to
give this testimony that the Lord
Mayor came u the United States.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Return to
Jetfersonian simplicity will mark the
inauguration of Harding and Coolidge
March a. This was settled to-day wher
the joint committee Of Congress or
inauguration decided to conduct the
ceremonies in the Senate chamber it.
self and to carry out the program
strictly in accordance with the wishes
expressed by Senator Harding in his
messages to Senator Knox and Edward
B. Mclean last night.
Senator Knox, chairman of the Joint
Inaugural Committee, was authorized
telegram:
"Hon. Warren G. Harding,
Marion, Ohio.
"The Joint Committee OH Inaugu-
ration have received your telegram
transmitted through me as chairman,
dated January 10, 1921, indicating
your desire for extreme simplicity in
the inaugural ceremonies on the
4th of next March and that the
same shall be conducted practically
without expense. The committee has
considered your suggestion in the
spirit in which it was made and
have decided. subject to your ap-
proval, that the inaugural ceremonies
shall take place in the Senate cham
Der, which involves no disturbance
of the arrangement incident to the
inauguration of the Vice-President
and involves no expense except such
incidental expenses for police as the
circumstances will require.
"P. C. KNOX"
The district inaugural committee, of
which Mr.. Mclean is chairman, will
abandon plans for the inaugural
parade and for the ball and othel
festivities.
Severest Simplicity
Severe simplicity, such as has char
acterized no other inaugural in recent
years, will mark the event. Senator
Harding will ride from the White
House to the Capitol with the Presi-
dent, will go'over to the Senate Cham
Der, and will take the oath Of office
and deliver his inaugural address there
after Governor Coolidge has been
sworn in as ViceP President and has
delivered his address.
This is the procedure followed when
William II. Taft was inauguratcd in
1909. when severe storm swept over
Washington. Mr.. Taft was inaugurated
m the Senate Chamber. However, the
plans for the parade and ball were
carried out in the afternoon and eve
ming. The Harding and Coolidge in
a,1Oura1 minus the Darade and ball
will be much simpler than the Taft
inaugural.
While Washington residents, hotel
men and business men are disappointed
deeply over the return to simplicity
and there is evidence of disappointment
in social circles, there was general ap-
proval in the Senate and House of the
attitude taken by Senator Harding.
1t is estimated that not more than
1000 will be able to get into the Sen
ate Chamber xctually to see the care
monies and hear the inaugural address
About 500 can occupy the galleries %and
about TOO, including House and Senate
members Of the Diplomatic Corps and
officials will be entitled to admission
to the floor of the Senate.
