BOATS CAUGHT IN ICE.

NEWBURG, N. Y, January 81 (P>.
Three freighterS owned by the Gen.
trail Hudson Steamboat Co. and plying
between Kingston and New York City
today were waiting for the turn of the
tide this afternoon in the hope that the
river ice holding them fast would shift
sufficiently to enable them to battle
their way through.
The Newburgh and the Poughkeepsie
were caught In the Ice yesterday morn
ing and the B. B. Odell was sent from
Nedburg to their assistance. The Odell
pulled the Newburgh free last night and
both vessels went to work on the Pough-
keepsie but before they could free her
all three were caught.
The few passengers on the Pough-
keepsie walked across the rs feet Of ice
to the shore and proceeded to their des-
tinations by train. The vessels carry
small crews and are fully equipped to
remain several days In their present po-
sition. About Q half mile Of ice inter-

ALLEN ACQUITTED
BY TRIAL BOARD
Verdict Reached in Five Min
utes on Charges of Pre-
judicial Conduct.

Policeman Robert ]. Allen Of the
third precinct was acquitted by the
police trial board yesterday afternoon
on a charge Of conduct prejudicial to
the good order. reputation and dis
cipline Of the Police Department. The
charge grew out Of Aliens testimony In
Police Court in December In defense OF
a delicatessen store proprietor on his
beat accused by q Health Department
sanitary inspector Of having violated
public health regulations by failing to
use sterilized drinking glasses.
The trial board reached its verdict
In record-breaking TIME. Five minutes
after the close Of the trial, which lasted
from 10 to 2:30 o'clock. the board mad
determined It's findings.
Faced Two Charges.
The charge against Allen contained
two specifications, which alleged that
he had unduly interested himself In the
case of the delicatessen store proprietor
and had failed to make proper report
of the disposition Of the case within "a
hours as required by Police Department
rules.
The testimony showed conclusively
that the policman's only interest in the
case was to do his duty and see thai
justice was had by the store owner. Il
also was brought out that Allen was
stricken with influenza shortly after the
case was tried in Police Court and was
unable to record its disposition on tht
records in the third precinct station
until his return to duty IS days later.
Allen Takes Stand.
Allen was the ANAL witness to face thu
board and told straightforward story
Of the case His counsel was Boliths
J. Laws, who in his argument TO thu
board pointed out that conviction o!
Allen would encourage untruthful testi'
mony by policemen in court.
Because Of Aliens testimony as vel
as that of Pvt. Jacobs. also Of the thirc

by Police Court Judge Robert e. Mat.

BERLIN, January 31.-The complete
teri OF the neW Einsteir treatise Which
tUds published here yesterday tollops:
In two treatises which have recently
appeared I have endeavored to show
that one can reach uniform theory Of
gravitation and electricity by attribu-
ting distant paralleliSm" as an attri-
butte to four -dimensional continuity be-
sides the Riemann metricS. An attempt
to give uniform significance to the field
of gravitation and the electro magnetic
field has also been successful.
On the contrary, deduction of field
equations from the Hamiltonian prin-
ciple goes on no simple and completely
unambiguous path. These difficulties
increase upon closer consideration.
But 1 have succeeded since then in
finding satisfactory way to the deduc-
ton of field equations, which I am
stating here below.

Weitzenbroeck recently proposed In his
work on this subject. The v-com-

tanning fixed lower determinants will be
labeld as suprscript h subscript v.

The governor announced at Baton

case carefully and did not intend to
take any further action. The execution
Is set Tor tomorrow between noon and

Previously the governor has refused to
commute the sentences to life imprison-

the State Pardon Board. Under the
law the governor can execute or ignore
the boards recommendation.
IN statement after the action OF the

Our last recourse has been ex-

Long Is the only hope now. We can't
