Big Freigghters
Collide i'm Fog
Off Fire Island
2 Vessels, Badly Damaged,
Make Port Under Their
Own Steam; u. S. Trans
port Returns for Repairs

Two big freighters that came to-
gether with a crash in the fog off
Fire Island on Saturday came into
port yesterday under their own steam.
Both vessels had been maneuvering in
the fog blanket, and were proceeding
at little more than steerageway when
they came together in head-on COL
Hsion.
The first to make port was the Brit
ish ship City of Auckland which, in
command of Captain Alexander Gard
ner, left port on Saturday for Sydney
and New South Wales. Her stem was
aattened in and what once was a
shapely bow appeared to be mass Of
buckied plates into which was piled
her two anchors.
Captain Gardner sent a radio for
assistance, saying that he could not
at the Narrows and towed the vessel
to berth at Bush Docks. No one
aboard was injured. The skipper said
his collision bulkheads held well and
kept out the sea from his forward
hold. The City of Auckland will be
laid up in dry dock for several weeks
for repairs.
A few hours after the Auckland
docked the Bethel Ridge, United
States Shipping Board freighter. that
had hit the Auckland, came into port
under her own steam. She also was
damaged in the bow and will have to
undergo repairs. She was inbound
from Tunis when she encountered the
City of Auckland
The United States transport Cam
tigny, which left port on Saturday for
Antwerp and encountered trouble with
her low pressure turbines when off
Fire Island, was towed to port yester-
day by the army tug Tacony and the
tug Resolute, of the erritt-Chapman
v recking Company. 1t was said last
night at the Army Transport Service
IN Hoboken that repairs would soon be
made on the vessel and that she would
proceed to Antwerp within a few days.
The Cantigny carried 170 passengers,
including three officers and five enlist
ed men Of the Army Air Service, who
are to dismantle and ship to this coun-
try from Italy the semi-rigid dirigb!e
Roma. The other travellers are largely
enlisted men bound for the United
States army of occupation at Coblenz.
The steamship Black Arrow, with
forty-seven passengers, arrived off Am
brose Channel lightship yesterday and
signaled for assistance. Her steering
gear became deranged in the fog on
Saturday and she was brought to port
in tow of two tugs, which took her to

O'Callahan Hasn't Sailed:
Appears i'm Philadelphia
Lord Mayor Says He Will Leave
America When He Pleases,
but Probably Soon
Special Dispatch to The Trib,ln

e
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6.-All doubt
as to the presence Of Daniel J. O'Cal-
lahan, Lord Mayor of Cork, in this
country was dispelled when, with the
Irish "consel general" j. L. Fawsit,
ne drove up to the Bellevue-Strattord
at $50 o'clock this evening. He had
not been heard from in the last week,
and it was rumored that he had sailed
for Ireland. However, he had only
been having "little rest in New Jer-
sey," as he put it.
When asked about his being sent
back to his port of departure, the
Mayor and his attorney, Michael F.
Doyle, insisted that he had been
granted seaman's passport, and that
he intended to sail at his own leisure.
He said the Department of Labor had
intimated date by which time he
hoped he would sail, and added that he
probably would leave America very
shortly. "But, understand" he said,
that l am not being ordered back. I
am leaving of my own volition."
The Lord Mayor would not say just
when he would leave America or just
where he would, set sail for Ireland.

Toxic Diet Takes Step
Toward Woman Suffrage

TOXIC, Feb. 5.--What is regarded
as historic step toward the emanci-
patton Of japanese women has been
taken by the House Of Representatives
in the discussion of bill aiming at
the notification of the law prohibiting
women from joining political associa-
tions or attending political meetings.
The bill has the support of members
Of all the parties.
The extension of women's rights in
the United States Is believed to have
considerably accelerated the Japanese
movement, the leaders of which have
been carrying on g, vigorous campaign
among the politicians. That progress
has been made was testified to by a
warm address in advocacy of the bill
signed by thousands of women and
presented in the Chamber, asserting
that it was serious injustice TO deny
women access to political knowledge
and political activity, and that the
present law was incompatible with
the spirit Of the times.
"To make women better wives and
mothers" the address declared, "aboli-
ton of the regulation is imperative" !"
The bill was referred TO committee.

All Colonies Now Partners

LONDON, Feb. 6.-Viscount Miner
interviewed to-day by The Sunday Oh,
server in connection with his retirement
from the Colonial Office, says there was
never any question in his mind about
the status of the Dominions in the EN-.
pire.
Every vestige of subsection has dis
appeared" said Viscount Miner, "and
basis Of the empire as politi-
cal entity is that of partnership, and
the whole problem now is how to make
the partnership work.
Nothing sure will ever be done to
organize this partnership by proposals

impulse must come from the Domin-

Uncle Sam and Railroads Negotiating

NEGOTIATIONS looking to the
y funding of the railroad indebted
ness Of approximately $S0OOO0.OO0 TO
the government and the settlement Of
the claims of the railroads against the
government are under full way be-
tween government officials and the
railway executives. These negotiations
have resulted in progress toward def
mite conclusions.
Railway officials estimate that the
net amount due the railroads from the
government is somewhere between
1915, 100000 and S600,000,O00 They
admit that 1t is difficult TO make q
definite estimate OF the total amount
due because Of the items In dispute.
Roughly. however. they place the
amount yet due for the period of gov
eminent control at 1888. O0OO and for
The guaranty period Of six months az
ter federal control at 500. 100000.
Director General Davis estimates
that the claims Of the railroads
against the railroad administration
will aggregate S1,25OO00,O00 Forty
seven railroads have already settled
with the government. and they were
allowed Approximately 2S per cent OF
the amounts claimed by them. The
total claims Of these roads aggregated
S124.O4O. S6T. of which $50. iS6,914 was
allowed

Gals figure it would appear that the
