GOV. MILLER SAYS
ALL WANT CITIES
TO HAVE HOME RULE
But He Believes Great Care
Must Be Taken in Amend

CHARTER BEST COURSE.
"Then if Legislature Keeps It's
Hands Off" All Will Be

ALBANY, March 11.-That the
cities will eventually get home rule
and that Gov. Miller favors II was
made evident in a talk with the Gov.
crnor this morning. A proposition
has been made, according to his un.

ber of home rule bills which have
been introduced, no two OF which are
alike, a commission be created 10 pre-.
pure a home rule constitutional pro.
vision that will give further home
rule to the cities.
When asked if such II proposal had
his approval, he said that he would
have no occasion TO pass on it. But,
he continued, Il think it is a matter
so important that they should not
take any half.baked proposal and put
il into an amendment. The way to
get sound amendment is to select
people who will give it very serious

I'VE have a pretty good idea from
a little talk what they will do. They
will probably throw them all in the
waste basket and either grind one
from the mass that has been presented
to them or draw a new one altogether.
1T is pretty late in the session to
draw a new one, and | think that this
amendment to the Constitution Is
something that ought to be done with
very great care. There seems to be
40 difference OF opinion in any quar-
tcrs as to the importance of extending
tie power OF municipalities to govcn
their own affairs. Everybody is agreed
to that"

was through legislative amendment of

NO SECRET NOTES
PASSED IN FRAMING
PACT, SAYS HUGHES
Secretary in Letter to Under
wood, Protests Against
Erroneous Conceptions"
OPEN UNDERSTANDINGS.
Not to Pass the Treaty, He
Says, Would Be a National
Calamity.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Secre-
tary of State Hughes in a letter to-
day to Senator Underwood, Demo-
cratic Senate leader and Arms Con-
ference delegate, took occasion to
characterize intimations that the
American delegates were induced to
accept some plans for the four power
Pacific treaty cunningly contrived by
others opposed to American interests
as "a very poor and erroneous con-
ception of the work in connection with
the conference.
The Secretary added that the en-
titles of international intercourse pre-
cluded revealing the airfs."NaI and
confidential suggestions and CONVEX
sations incident to the negotiations,
but he assured the Senate that a full
disclosure of everything said or done
would reveal nothing derogatory to
the part taken by the American dele
gates. He asserted it would show no
consideration or acceptance of any
position not entirely consistent with
the traditional policies of the Amcri-
can Government.
The four power pact itself requires
no commentary, the Secretary said,
adding that no ingenuity in argument
or hostile criticism can add to it or
make its engagements greater than
its unequivoCal language sets forth.
There are no secret notes or under
standings. he asserted.
Discussing the Genesis of the treaty,
which has been the subject of qucS-
tions in the Senate from its oppo-
nents, Mr.. Hughes said that while
the question of authorship is unim-
portant," after assent had been given
by Great Britain and Japan that
France should be a party he himself
prepared a draft of the treaty biased
upon the various suggestions which
had been exchanged between the dele
gates"
"There is not the slightest mys-
terry about the Treaty or basis of
suspicion regarding it," the Secre-
tary asserted. "It is a straight-fo
ward document which attains one of
the most important objects the Amer
lean Government has had in view and
is of the highest importance to the
maintenance of friendly relations in
the Far East upon a sound basis.
Failure of the Senate to ratify tho
Treaty, Mr.. Hughes declared, would
he nothing short of national calam
ity."

were named in the sealed indictments.
District Attorney Malloy, who con-
vened the Grand Jury only a few
hours after the watchman's death in
Y,
declared the indictments will result in
the exposuhre of probably the largest
bootleg ring in this city. His state
ment was amplifed by Capt. Van
Wagner, chief of the Staten Island
detectives, who declared that one of
the prisoners is ready to sign a con-
fession naming financial hackers of
the alleged bootleg band which will
create a citywide sensation.
On the night of Feb. 2S. after, It

hours of Connor's death is the fastest

Borough President RiegeImann at
first denied absolutely any relation
ship to BiCkford, but later when con-

Goes the Limit in Spreading
Fake Propaganda to Block
Housing Measures.
SPEED IS PLAN. NOW.
Gibbs Calls Committee Meet,
ing for Monday When Bills
May Be Reported Out.
By Joseph S. Jordan.
Staff Correspondent of The Evening
World.

ALBANY. March 1.-THE lobby
which has been working insidiously
for the destruction of the Housing
Bills reached the limit when it deftly
spread the propaganda that Senator
Lockwood had run out" on his own
bills and practically insured their de.
feat.
Senator Lockwood did not run out"
on his bills, and that they are a long
way from being defeated if present
indications are the best proof. II any
legislator in either House votes in op-
position to any of the bills IL will not
be because Of any lack of explanation
Of its merits 1t was this purpose
that called the Chairman of the Hous.
ing Committee to New York. Before
leaving he surrounded his proposed
measures with all the Legislative safe.
guards that could be prescribed.
Chairman Gibbs of the Cities Com
mittce refused to make n report on
the bills and said that there would
not be a meeting until next Tuesday.
Senator Lockwood then gave notice
to the Senate that he would move for
discharge of the committee from
the further consideration of the bills,
which will probably be made on Mon
day night.
Then Senator Lockwood obtained
the signatures of eight members of
the Cities Committee, himself leading
the list, and presented the petition to
Senator Gibbs as an earnest sentiment
of the majority of the committee.
Mr.. Gibbs announced after the
senate adjourned that meeting of
the committee would be held immc-
1late.y. He knew at that time that
Senator Lockwood had left for New
York. II Chairman Gibbs so desired
he could then have declared that a
favorable rCTort had been made and
the bills would have been before the
senate. This is a practice of the
Senate for the acceleration of busi-
ness. While not in accordance with
strict procedure, it is done frequent
ly in tht Upper House. 1t was in
J'st such manner that Senator Lock-
wood got Il favorable report on the
Insurance Bill providing for the build
ing Of tcnements, back Of which is
Che Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany's proposition to put up
800. 900, 600.
Senator Lockwood had obtained n
leave from the Senate earlier in the
day. Senator Lowman. one of his sign
crs, and Senator McGarry, another.

Deadly Poison Left In Some of 1t,
Police Chemist Reports.

Charles Wagner, chemist Of the
Police Department, has reported to
District Attorney Ruston at Brooklyn
on the samples of confiscated liquors
sent to him for analysis. Mr.. Rus
ton says the report indicates that
many saloons are selling "hooch"
made from redistilIed industrial alco-
hol, from which an effort has been
made to remove the kerosene or other
non beverage ingredients which have
been added to make il comply with
the law. Much of this alcohol, he
said, was wood alcohol
The dstllation, according to the re-
port, had been successful only to the
extent of removing the distasteful
odor of the non-beveragc connection,
in which was left dangerous and
sometimes deadly poison.

to the contrary notwithstanding
 ! That the klan is still enshrined in the hearts of some Missourians or
 that having tried everything else
 they are willing to accept it's offices as last resort is amply evidenced by scanning the personals in the
 want ad columns of Kansas City newspaper.
 Regularly every Sunday morning
 there appears in this column any
 where from one to four appeals by
 alleged widows with small children,
 mistreated wives and others, for aid from the hooded hosts. Here is fair sample: "Ku I<LUX KLAN-P Please help

 will help widow with four small children to obtain justice? Address

 Several other ads of similar im- port appear from time to time. To date, so far as is known, the Ku
 Klux Klan has made no response. Apparently, however this lack of at-. tention has not discouraged the ad- vertisers. The ads continue to ap- pear with weekly regularity.
