Strengthening out points in the

ed to present to the chamber of

ment's declaration of Thursday.
Outline Of Changes.
No official communication has been
issued concerning the meeting, but 1t
Is understood Nj. Poincare requested
Lord Curzon that the pact be amend
ed to make the military protection
clause mutual-namely, that France
Great Britain should the latter be at
tackled, and also that the general
STATS of the two countries should
meet at their earliest possible mo-
ment after the pact Is ratified to
draw up a plan of defense in their
army, and would cooperate in the
event of an attack in the west.
The question of the protection of
Poland in case of an attack by Ger
many was not discussed today. 1t Is
learned that this will be the subject

Harding and NJ. Poincare after the
Polish government is consulted.
Lord Curzon will return to London

gram is being forwarded to the Brit
ish prime minister. who will have full

dency of NJ. Millerand will be held
tomorrow at Elysee Palace. and an
other at the foreign affairs depart
ment Wednesday, when the reply
from London is expected to have

alton, no information is forthcoming

care to the correspondents today:
"I wish that the engagements taken
at Versailles be fulf1lled-nothing
more. My task accomplished. shall
retire."

AGREE ON TARIFF PLAN.
Members Of Senate Finance Com
mtttee Act on Important Proviso.

Inclusion in the permanent tarih
law of q provision for the assessment
of import duties on the basis of the
wholesale American value at the time
Of shipment of the foreign product
has been tentatively agreed to by the
republican members of the Senate
finance committee.
Some details of the plan remain to
be worked out>by the committee and
the Treasury. tariff commission and
other experts assigned for the con-
sideration of this problem.
This plan of assessing duties is that
originally proposed by the experts to
the House ways and means committee
and differs from the American valua-
ton proposition finally adopted by
the House, and under which duties
would be assessed on the basis of the
wholesale selling price in the Ameri-
can market of American-made goods
comparable to the imported articles.
Where comparable goods could not
be found it would be q case of con-
structing the rates on the basis Of
the cost Of the imported articles plns
transportation charges. Importers

MOST IMMIGRANTS
Mrs. Van Ripper Tells Of Ex-
periences at Union
Station.

California is the destination of
more immigrants than any other spot
in the country at present. according
to Mrs. w. F. Van Ripper. executive
secretary of the Washington branch
of the Travellers Aid Society, whose
function is to look after those in
need of assistance entering Wash
ington.
With the exception Of New York,
through Washington than through
any other place in the country.
scarcely a day passes that we do
not give assistance to between forty
and fifty foreigners" she declared.
who, new to the country and it's
lish language. are en- route to rela-
tives, and who would become easy
prey to the inscriptions were it not
for the protection of the Travellers
Aid Society.
Fifteen Came Yesterday.
/ Fifteen foreigners arrived at the
Union station in party yester-
| day. They came direct from the docks
at New York. and the news of their
| coming was telegraphed to Mrs. Van
Ripper. They were met at the train
| and 1t was learned that all were
bound for California. They repre-
sented Germans. Greeks, Italians and
Slovaks.
Their letters and passports were
examined. the proper train connec-
| tions made, they were advised as to
how best conceal their money and
they were placed on the westbound
trains. Then the society's agents in
California were notified by wire that
the party had passed through WASH
ington.
Many Tongues Spoken.
This is but small part of the
work being done by the Washington
branch of the Travellers Aid Society.
but it is an important part. Immi-
grants come from all parts of the
country and speak all tongues. and
while New York Representatives can
command twenty-six languages, the
Washington representatives are not
so fortunate. However. the languages
must be understood, and it is up to
the Washington agents.
They succeed by invoking outside
aid, so that no immigrant comes into
the Union station and is unable to
make himself understood.
The Washington branch of the
Travellers Aid Society is maintained
through voluntary contributions on
the part of the citizens. Because of
the big public service being given in
this city, the Washington Terminal
Company has just contributed $1,000
to the work of the society. Several
more thousand dollars are needed,
it's present high state of efficiency.

The Kings County Grand Jury to-

calling as its first witnesses Com
missioner of Markets Edward j

Aloysius Malloy, both of whom re-
fused to sign waivers Of immunity or

than six minutes. The Jury then
ceased work for the day. It will meet
again tomorrow morning.

fused to discuss what had taken place
in the Grand Jury room. When told
Mr.. O'Malley and Mr. MalIoy had
declined, in the presence Of news

munity, he said:
1T has always been the policy Of
this office to refuse to let persons who
might be involved to testify without
first requiring them to execute a
waiver Of immunity SO far as I can
recall, this is the first time in my
experience in this office that a public
official has refused to sign such a
waiver. 1t is more than probable that
| will examine these two men, any
way, but not if such examination will
give them immunity. We will give
immunity to no person.
The District Attorneys office would
make no further comment, but it is
understood that a way may be found
by which Mr.. O'Malley and Mr.. NAL
10y can be forced to testify and not
be able to claim immunity.
1t was reported that DIR. Samuel
Buchler, Mr.. O'Malley's predecessor
in office. and Mrs. Welzmueller, now
a deputy commissioner under Mr..
O'Mallcy, were to have been sum.

Monkey Has Entire NeighbOrhoOd
In Chelsea TerrCrized by Wild
Antics for TWenty-FOur Hours
Hotel in Uproar After His
Raids on Rooms
of Guests.
ENTERTAINS A CROWD.
But All Efforts to Capture
Escaped Simian Come
to Naught.

Avid South American monkey. that
stands two feet six inches in his stock
ingIess feet is at present terroriZing
the residents of the block bounded by
Seventh and Eighth Avenues and
29d and 23d Streets. Since 10 o'clock
yesterday morning he has been rae
ing over the roofs in the block, swing
ing into open windows. jumping from
roofs to trees, perching himself ON
the roof of the Presbyterian Church
at Eighth Avenue and causing a pan
icky feeling among the guests of the
Chelsea Hotel.
Several times he has entered the ho.
tel. Once to choke a couple OF song
birds to death in the room OF the
manager, Arthur Wolfe. where he
threw about the cages and strewed
clothes about the room. His antics
in other rooms caused the guests to
sleep with an eye open all night and
hope that the fly screens might prove
barrier that would prevent an in
trusion.
He is still enjoying the freedom Of
the city without going through the
formality Of having a golden key
presented to him by Mayor Hylan on
the city Hall steps, along with rcsO-
lutions passed by the Board of Alder
men. Not having these credentials.
he has ronhned himself to the block
In the time he has peen at liberty
he has furnished damage suits suffi-
cient to keep the City Court busy for
a week and annoy his owner, J. W
Simmons & Co., owners of bird and
animal store at No. $50 West 23d
Street. The only asset which Mr.
Simmons may be able TO interltOsc is
the amusement and excitement the
monk has furnished.
It was some time after 10 A. NJ.
yesterday that Mr.. Simmons dscov-
cred the cage of the monkey was
broken and he was gone. He is, aC-
cordinE to his owner, Kapsan
monkey that comes from the west
coast OF South America. After "a
search about the place which Contin-
ued for three hours Simmons saw n
crowd in the street and joined it. The
monk was scaling the Chelsea Hotel.
He disdained the fire escapes and was
going up drain pipe. Persons went
TO the roof to head him off and hc
disappeared into one Of the open win.
dowS of the hotel
With the knowledge that there was
surprise awaiting some guest, the
crowd fingered. The monk Camc out,
made the roof and went over TO the
roof of the Presbyterian Church near
the corner of Seventh Avenue. Dark
ness settled, with him sitting ON the
ridge pole of the church All ne
needed apparently was a ukolcle to
make him happy.
Guests with windows open bad a
jumpy feeling all night in the hotel,
and this morning reports arrived Of
what had occurred.
