SEIZED IN REVOLT
ViCeroy Moves to Prevent
Violence, Invoking Special
Suppression Order.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOMBAY, April 1.-Two leaders in
the civil disobedience campaign of Ma
hatma Gandhi and the all-India ma
tional congress we're arrested today for
violations of the salt act.
They were Sadhu Swami Anand. who
recently took charge of the civil DISC
bedience camp at Villeparle, near Bonn
bay, in succession to Jamnalal Najaj,
also arrested and SIX. M. MunShi, who
recently resigned his seat in the Legis-
lative Council to join the civil DISC
bedience movement.
The government today took special
measures to combat the widespread I'M
rest and tension in Bengal, growing
out of the raid of insurgents" Friday
nlght and Saturday morning on the
ponce arsenal at Chittagong, on the
East Bank of the Meighna estuary.
Six police were killed in the raid.
Special Powers Are Renewed,
Viceroy Lord Irwin, at Simla, Summer
capital, renewed the special Bengal
ordinance comforting extraordinary
powers for the suppression of disorder
The vlceroy's statement said: I'm order

rorists elsewhere the Government of
Bengal have represented that it is es-
sential to renew the powers which 60
recently lapsed."
When the ordinance expired recently

vat1ons that the governor general could
invoke 1t again If necessary.
Meanwhile the Mahatma is remain
Ing in Gujerat busying himself with
q comparatively small district. In an
interview at Jalalpur, Gandhi said
that he was not sure when he could
go to Bombay, his hands being occu-
pied where he was.
Gandhi DepIores Disorders.
Last weeks disorders at Chittagonc
were deplored by Gandhi in an inter-
view here last night. At the same time
he said that the civil disobedience cam
palgn for midas independence must
continue.
THE Chittagong news makes sad
reading" said the Mahatma. 1T shows

Bengal who do not believe in non

give non-violence a chance.

the Chtttagong disturbances by the
exercise of his extraordinary powers;
that was only to be expected. AS lonl

accomplishments had been, which rep
resented far advance toward lesSened
naval burdens.
He attributed failure to reach Ave
power limitation treaty to French, de-
mands for political security and Italian
demands for naval parity with France,
and revealed flor the first time that
America was never approached to join
in security pact and that France re-
fused even to consider such consulta-
tive pact, as was once suggested in a
statement of Col. Stimson.
Address Is Careful Study.
His address was a we'll studied, care
fully prepared discussion of the work
of the conference, and was accorded
the utmost importance, since Senator
Robinson, as Democratic leader, might
at least be expected to view the treaty
hypercriticalIy. The delegation counts
on his support in the Senate to win
many Democratic skeptics to approval
Of the document.
The preamble to the treaty, which
with the safeguarding clause has been
vigorously secret, was revealed today,
shortly after Toxic dispatches and the
japanese delegation here announced
that Japan would sign the treaty with
out changes. The preamble is single
sentence, which says:
1.-The President of the United States
of America, the President of the French
Republic, his majesty the King of Great
Britain, Ireland and the British domln-
ions beyond the seas, his majesty the
King of Italy, his majesty the Emperor
of Japan, desiring to prevent the dam
ger and reduce the burdens inherent IN
competitive ornaments, and desiring to
carry forward the work begun in the
Washington Naval Conference and to
facilitate the progressive realization of
general limitation and reduction Of
ornaments, have resolved, with view
to accelerating these purposes, to con-
clude treaty for the limitation of naval
ornaments and have accordingly ap-
pointed as their plenipotentiaries:"
The names of their representatives
are given and the treaty follows.
On the strength of the announce
ment today the American delegation
here happily concluded their sailing ar
rangements for the trip back home
aboard the Leviathan, which may be
held at Southampton until Wednesday
morning for them.
Most of the deleg Ition we're in their
quarters, experimenting packing after
the three months in London, while Col
Stimson babe farewell to his country
home at Stanmore and said good-by to
his household staff.

new ORLEANS CARS
AGAIN ON SCHEDULE
Riots and Bombings Started in
Strike Last Year Give Way
to Former Routine.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, February 15.-Few
people realize it. but New Orleans still
has street car strike dating back from
July 2. The only reminders are an
occasional popping of of homemade
bombs on street car rails. These ex-
plosions are passed off with a shrug.
Cars are operating on schedule with
heavy patronage. Most of the regular
motormen and conductors have gone
back to work. At first New Orleans
was enthusiastically behind the strikers.
Mobs of hundreds of men and women
stormed the Offices. barns and cars of
the New Orleans Public Service, Inc.
They bore down with stones, sticks and
guns and it was worth ones life to
ride street car six months ago. Two
men were dragged out of mob fights
dying and hundreds were bruised and
manned. Canal street became q bat
tle-ground for pillagers and rioters,
strike-breakers and police. Property
damage ran into the thousands and
business was demoralized.
Then came the Federal Injunction
prohibiting interference with car oper-
alton and damage to company prop
erty. Special deputies and SQUADS of
police were sent out to enforce it with
Shotguns.
Meantime, officials of the Garments
Union were negotiating for settlement
and definite terms were reached at a
conference in New York between Pub
lie Service oficialS and William D.
Mahon, international president of the
Street Garments Union, and William
Green, president Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. But the men voted
down the agreement unless the Public
Service would agree to take back all of
the strikers at once. Public Service re-
fused to amend the terms and issued
an ultimatum to the strikers. The
union ignored the warning and Mr..
Mahon and Mr.. Green stepped aside
Weeks later the men voted to accept
the New York terms, but Public Serv-
ice refused to deal further with the
union Large numbers Of strikers ap-
piled for their old jobs.

CHINA TO C0NFISCATE
ESTATE OF C0NFUCIUS
Protest Made by nth Descendant
Who Believes Abandonment of

By the Associated Press.


SHANGHAI, February 15-China's
sage, Confucius. or at least his seventy
seventh direct descent, Mr.. Kung Teh-
Cheng, is the latest to be singled out py
the National government in connection
with its program of conhscating enemy

In the last eight months, the govern

than $4,000, 900 worth of property be-
longing to wealthy Chinese families once
nigh In the graces of the Manchus.
More confscations have been threat
ened, but news to the effect that the
estate of Confucius is to be taken and
turned over to Marking, has been re-
lceived with the greatest surprise and
CONSERVATION throughout China, espe-
eially by the literary classes.
Naturally, Mr.. Kung Teh- Chenr OBJ
Jects. In lengthy protest to the state
council, he points out that his property
Is an inheritance handed down through
the ages by Confucius, and that it has
never before been involved in a tangle
with any Chinese government.
He further states that he has volun-
tar1ly abolished the honorary title of
Yen Shen Kung," conferred upon the
direct descendants of the property, and
believes that this should satisfy the
government for the time being, at least.
