CLEMENCEAU FIRM AGAINST REDUCING DEMANDS ON HUNS Americans in Role of Concil- | iators, With French and Britons Far Apart. URGED TO MAKE HASTE IN REACHING AGREEMENT U. S. Delegate Says Pledge Not to| Divulge Treaty Until Com- pleted Not Violated. By the Associated Press. PARIS, June 7.—Little progress was made today by the council of four in the attempt to formulate the reply to the German-~ counter proposals. The attitude. of the merican commission remained that of mediator; the French and English were as far apart tonight as they had been any time during the week. M. Clemenceau re- mained firm in hts determination not to reduce the demands upon the Ger- mans. Look for Progress Tomorrow. It is expected that a majority of the Yeports of the minor commissions will come before the council Monday, when it is possible more fapid progress will be made. It has been pointed out to both the French and English delegates that virtually as much time has been taken by the allies in preparing an answer to the German counter proposals as was allowed the Germans to consider the treaty after its presentation, and it has been urged upon them to effect an agreement as soon as possible. The question of Fiume aleo was discussed today, but no decision was reached. Denies Treaty Violation. 4 member of the American delega- tion, in discussing the complaint made in the Senate concerning publication of the treaty in Germany and charges that copies were in the hands of New York bankers, said the delegation had not violated the pledge made to other Powers not to give out the treaty until it 1s completed and will not do so. He added that so far as he knew Germany had not been requested to keep the treaty secret, as such a re- quest to an opponent would not be in conformity with accepted diplomatic practice. 2 See re The delegate, in replying to an in- quiry why the covenant of the league -@f nations had been published, said that while the covenant was part of the treaty, it does not actually deal with the terms of peace, and, conse- quently is essentially of a different character. Woman Envoys Arrive. Jane Addams, Chrystal MacMillan and the other delegates appointed by the ‘Women’s International Conference for Permanent Peace at Zurich to present resolutions to the peace conference, have been received by Capt. Andre Tardieu of the French delegation: Sir Joseph G. Ward, New Zealand minister of finance; Col. Edward M. House of the American delegation vand George Nicoll Barnes and Lord Robert Cecil of the British delega- ton. One American delegate told them that women would participate in the various plebiscites provided by the peace treaty. The Turkish government has ap- pointed a delegation to the peace con- ference under the leadership of Dam- ad Ferid Pasha, a dispatch from Con- stantinople states. The other mem- bers are Tewfik Pasha, Tewfk Bey, Riza Tewflk Bey and Rechi Halim Bey. Damad Ferid Pasha is the present prime minister. Tewflk Pasha is a former premier Tewflk Bey is the minister of finance, and Riza Tewfik Bey is president of the council of state. BOLLING FIELD, ARMY AR STATION, 10 CLOSE General Staff Disapproves Plans to ~ Retain It as Training Ground and Show Place. samees Bolling Field, the big Army avia- tion station on the banks of the Ana- costia river, near the Government Hospital for tne Insane, is to be abandoned in the near future, and al- ready steps have been taken to close it. Many Army aviators thought the field was well located and otherwise adapted, and had prepared plans for its development and improvement. It is located on reclaimed land and. be- longs to the government, and it was estimated that it could be made into an ideal aviation fleld by the expendi- ture of about $500,000. The general plan was approved by Gen. C. T. Menoher, director of the Army Air Service, who desired to maintain it as a training field as well as a show place for the air service at the Na- tional Capital. The general staff of the Army, however, disapproved the plan as in- volving the expenditure of a large sum of money that might be utilized to better advantage in other military endeavors. On the general ground of economy, Secretary Baker accepted the view of the general staff and ordered the abandonment of the field as g00n as it could be done without injury 20 the service, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 8, 1919 * | NIGHT CAR STRIKE | IN DETROIT HALTS | | STREET TRAFFIC By the Associated Press. | DETROIT, Mich.

NATION IDE WIRE STRKE WEDNESDAY Order Issued by President of | Telegraphers’ Union Af- fects Over 60,000. INVOLVES MANY LINES CHICAGO, June .7.—A nation-wide strike of telegraph and telephone oper- ators who are members of the Commer- cial Telegraphers’ Union of America was ordered today to take effect next Wed- nesday at 8 a.m. standard time. The order was issued at general head- quarters of the union here on telegraphic instructions from 8. J. Konenkamp, in- ternational president, who was in Pitts- burgh on his way to Chicago. The strike order applies to employes of the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany, the American Telephone and Tele- graph Company and the Postal Tele- graph and Cable Company with its asso- ciated institutions. Not Half Belong to Union. It was estimated at héadquarters here that the strike would affect between 60,000 and 100,000 individuals, of whom nearly 25,000 ‘were said to be members of the union. Outside of the union ranks, it was said, many wire workers had pledged themselves to support a strike. The decision to call a nation-wide strike was reached by President Konen- kamp after spending several days in Washington, where he had directed a strike of union employes in ten south- eastern states. That strike followed a strike of telephone workers in At- lanta, where telephone empieyes_were said to have been dischargd because of union affiliations. In Chicago, it was said at union headquarters, more than 4,000 wire workers would be affected. ‘The Commercial Telegraphers’ Union was born here in 1902. ‘W. U. Head Not Worried. NEW YORK, June 7.—The nation- wide strike of telegraph and telephone operators ordered by S. J. Konen- kamp, international president of the Commercial Telegraphers’ Union, “will amount to nothing,” according to a statement tonight by Newcomb Carl- ton, head of the Western Union Tele- graph Company. “The Western Union would like to assure the public that there will be no delay in handling their messages,” said Mr. Carlton. “We will maintain a full forc@ at all our offices, and the small number of union employes who obey the strike call will not affect the character of our service or its contin: uity.” Little Change in Atlanta. ATLANTA, Ga, June 7.—Little change in the wire strike situation was reported by elther side today. Union officials reiterated their claim that approximately 3,000 employes of the Western Union had responded to the strike order. H. C. Worthan, gen- eral manager of the southern division of the Western Union, reported that 315 employes were out today com- pared with 28% reported yesterday. Business was normal, and “being moved in first-class shape,” he de- clared. New Orleans Linemen Strike. NEW ORLEANS, June 7.—Cable and linemen employed by the Cumberland Telephone and the Western Union compantes, members of local No. 823, International Brotherhood of Electri- cal Workers of the World, walked out today. The union says 164 are out; officials of the telephone company state only seventy-five quit. Orders Strikers to Go to Work. Orders that they should return to work immediately under penalty were sent yesterday to the striking shopmen of the Norfolk and Western railroad by officials of the Railway Employes’ Division of the American Federation of Labor, who said that the strike was illegal and unsanc- tioned. Officials of the railroad administra- tion said the dispute which caused the walk-out was purely local and would be settled at the shops where it originated. They expect that the new week's work will commence with- out interruption. ‘A question of shop discipline w: said to have been the cause of the strike. | | GIVERNOROFENAS ~ CALLS FOR TROOPS ~—INBORDER CRIS Asks Mr. Baker to Mobilize | State Cavalry to Protect Life and_Property. |DECLARES PERIL MAY COME AT ANY MOMENT War Department Immediately Wires General Commanding Guard for Data. AMERICANS TELL OF 32 KILLINGS BY YAQUI BANDS By the Associated Press. NOGALES, Ariz, June 7— two Americans and thirty Mexicans have been killed by Yaquis and bandits in the La Colorado district of Sonora, Mexico, during the last two weeks, aceording to the state- ment of nine American mining men who arrived from that neighborhood tonight. The rty of Americans, whose homes are in Arizona, Colorado and California, have sent a statement on conditions in that district to the State De- partment at Washington, with copies to Senators Thomas of Colorado, Johnson of California and Marcus Smith and Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona. Declaring that the Mexican situation is so critical that a larger force of troops on the border is necessary to protect lives and property of citizens, Gov. Hobby of Texas, has requested Secretary Baker to call into the fed- eral service the Ist and 2d Brigades of Texas Cavalry and to mobilize them at a convenient point. The War Department immediately telegraphed the commanding general of the Southern Department, who has charge of the border guard, asking his views on the request and for any information bearing upon the situa- tion described by Gov. Hobby. Gov. Hobby’s telegram to Secretary Baker follow: be so critical that an emergency may arise at the most unexpected mo- ment, requiring a larger force of troops on the border to protect lives and property of citizens than are at present available. I appreciate that for border duty cavalry is the most effective arm of the service, and I also appreciate that the Regular Army is short on cavalry. Therefore, I respectfully urge and recommend that the First and Second Brigades Cavalry, National Guard of Texas, be called into the federal service. I urge that the call include brigade commanders and brigade headquar- ters detachments, so that the cavalry organtzation may go intact under command of two brigade commanders. Wants Mobilization in 20 Days. “I also suggest mobilization be fixed for definite date,. not less than | twenty days from date of call, in or- der that officers and men may ar- range personal affairs and such of- ficers and men who have dependents and for other satisfactory reasons may be discharged and their places filled with others who will be anxious to go into active service. “This twenty-day period will also provide time to arrange details for transportation and camp. I suggest Camp Maury at Austin as mobiliza- tion camp. My anxiety that lives and property of citizens be amply protect- ed and my knowledge of con- servatism and efficiency of officers and men of Texas cavalry brigades prompts this suggestion.” ‘War Department’s Wire. The department's telegram to the Southern Department’s commander was as follows: “The Governor of Texas wires the department that the Mexican situa- tion appears to be so critical that an emergency may arise at the most un- expected moment, requiring a larger force of troops on the border to pro- tect lives and property of citizens than are at present available. Your views and any information bearing upon the situation are desired by wire.” No Confirmation of Fears. Confidential reports reaching the ‘War Department within the last week regarding the situation in northern Mezico contained no infdrmation, it was eaid, that would lead Army of- ficers to hold the opinion expressed by Gov. Hobby.. The border guard at | present exceeds 20,000 troops, includ- |ing cavalry, infantry, field artillery, | air squadrons and engineer units, dis- tributed from Yuma, Ariz., to south of Laredo. The latter point ts head- quarters of the 4th United States Cavalry. Behind these is an even larger force at the demobilization camps or en route. Maj. Gen. De Rosey C. Cabell, in command of the Mexican border dis- trict, has standing orders to dispose the American troops as he thinks best to protect lives and property. Col. J. E. Willard at Angiers.

PHILADELPHIA, June 7.—A company of soldiers who faced death in a “battle of the bugs” to save the American Army in France from trench fever was lauded today by Surgeon General. Merritt W. Ireland at the Jefferson Medical College ninety-fourth commencement. A class of 142 new physicians was graduated. The degree of doctor, of laws was conferred upon Gen. Ireland and Vice Admiral Gleaves. The “un- sung heroes,” the surgeon general ex- plained, submitted themselves as vol- unteers for experiments with disease- bearing cooties to determine the cause of trench fever. The men survived the experiments. Surgeon General Ireland said: “As a result of the experiments with this volunteer group of soldiers we learned that trench fever is transmitted by the bite of this insect. This led to the elaborate delousing plants.” In a review of work in Porto Rico to eliminate the hookworm, the surgeon general said: “The death rate has fallen to one-half and the wealth of the island has in- creased tenfold.” SEE BRITISH RECOGNITION. Cotton Commission Pleased That England Will Send Delegates. LONDON, June 7.—The commission connected with the world’s cotton con- ference to be held at New Orleans, has interpreted the decision of the British board of trade to send delegates as British official recognition of the con- ference. “We are glad the officials have taken this action, particularly in view of the misgivings British traders at first had toward the conference,” Walter Par- ker of New Orleans said to the Asso- ciated Press today.

By the Associated Press, PALL MALL, Tenn., June: 7.—Alvin Cullom York, who outfought and out- shot a German battalion in the Ar- gonne forest, surrendered to his boy- hood sweetheart. when he became the husband of Miss Grace Williams on the bluff above Big Springs at noon today. Gov. Roberts of Tennessee performed the ceremony, which took place before 3,000 mountaineers from the Cumberland plateau. Sergt. York was in the uniform of a colonel of the Tennessee Guard, hav- ing been named colonel on the goy- ernor’s staff for life by Gov. Roberts. The ceremony was performed in a natural amphitheater studded with huge boulders which served as seats. ‘A large flat rock half way up the hill served as a natural altar, while a mas- sive beech at its side sheltered the bridal party from-the sun’s rays. I" It was the day set apart for Fentress mountains to do honor to all the veterans of the world war who have returned from France. All night long, the mountain families were wending their way through the hills and by 4 o'clock this morning the “Jimtown” pike was filled with peo- ple on foot, on horseback, in surreys and in, lumber wagons. The York home on the pike was the mecca of hundreds of old. friends who gathered to pay their respects to the aged mother of the bridegroom. Jamestown was filled to overflowing Friday night. The hotel and board- ing houses were unable to accommo- date the visitors and at every house down the thirteen-mile mountain trail late arrivals found shelter to occupy extra'beds and in many cases to sleep on the floor.

HIS OWN. pleased at Report They Get No Bonus Increase. MEET AGAIN WEDNESDAY Several hundred District govern- ment employes, members of the City Employes’ Association, plan to go out on strike if the Commissioners do not sive them the additional bonus of for the fiscal year beginning July 1. This statement was made last night ae eeting o! held last night at» thb Perpetual Bailding Association ‘hall. The re- Bort that tle mén would not receive the added pay was discussed, with the result that it was decided to call & mass meeting of all the employes for Wednesday night at the-O Street Armory. Short Strike Last Summer. If a strike is called, it will not be the first of its kind in Washington. Municipal employes, under Mr. Hur- ley’s leadership, walked out for a few hours last summer over a wage differ- ence with the Commissioners, which was adjusted through mediation by the Department of Labor. In the present case. the District wage board has recommended to the Commissioners that the basic rates of pay of the skilled and unskilled la- borers be reduced in order- to absorb the $120 additional bonus to be paid after July 1. The board claims that this is contemplated for this class of employes in the act of Congress grant- ing the additional pay. The purpose is to make the basic rates, after the total bonus of $240 has been absorbed by them, comparable to rates paid for similar service on the outside. This procedure was followed by the board for the current year, when basic rates were reduced to account for the existing bonus of $120. It is planned to repeat the performance for next year. The employes would receive the same as they are now re- ceiving. May Sustain Wage Board. But the employes, notwithstanding they are working under this plan at present, can’t see the justice of it for next year. Mr. Hurley already has had the matter up with the Commis- sioners. He acquired the impression that the Commissioners would sustain the recommendation of the wage board. Hence, last night’s meeting was called to consider ways and means of meeting the situation. The laborers’ case is different from that of about 300 per diem men, who were transferred from a statutory to @ per diem basis during the war in order that they might be given more pay. ‘The wage board takes the position that these men, by reason of the limi- tations of expenditure for their cla: of service, are paid rates that are comparable with the rates paid an- nual employes. The board, therefore, recommends that they continue to draw their per diem pay and be given the full bonus of $240 in addition. Talks of Arbitration. Regarding the complaint of the laborers, Mr. Hurley last night said that before a strike is called the matter will be taken up with officials 6f the Department of Labor. “We will'not take drastic action,” not get results by other means, “The men in the street cleaning de- partment,” he continued, “who were laid off because of lack of funds showed their public spirit when they came out the day’ before Easter Sun- day, many of them at a loss of $5 and $6, and cleaned the streets of the city. Now, when they should have this bonus, it is to be denied them.” $120 to be paid government workers} by Joseph H.

Soterios Nicholson of This City Taken; Another Now in France. FOUR ARRESTS IN DETROIT By the Associated Press. DETROIT, Mich., June 7.—With the arrest here today of four men, one of them an Army officer, Department of Justice agents disclosed an alleged conspiracy to defraud the government in the sale of $30,000,000 worth of Army supplies to be salvaged here.. The United States grand jury has returned indictments, it was announc- ed, against Capt. Soterios Nicholson of Washington, chief finance officer of the ordnance department for this dis- trict; an unnamed Army officer recent- ly sent to France in connection with the disposal of excess supplies; Grant Hugh Browne, a millionaire sports- man and race track owner of Detroit, and Fred C. Collins, vice consul for Greece and president of a local realty company. Held at Fort Wayne. All but the officer in France, to- gether with Bert Harris, a junk deal- er of New York, are held at Fort Wayne, an Army post here, for trial. Harris, who, it is alleged, was to dis- pose of the material, will be arraigned before the grand jury Tuesday. The arrests followed an investiga- tion extending over two months and came, Department of Justice officials said, after the first deal in the al- leged plot was put through at Roch- ester, N. Y., Thursday. The trans- action, it is alleged, involved 21,000 tons of material, valued at $300,000. According to Arthur I: Barkey, fof: the*bureau of Irvestigation ere, Collins, Browne and Harris are charged with conspiracy to eliminate other ‘bidders for the material, the bids being held ‘so low that the-high- eat of the three would be far below the value of the supplies dispose@ of. By means of a dictaphone installed in Capt. Nicholson’s room at a hotel, the federal officers declare, they fol- lowed the alleged conspiracy since its inception early in April. The matter was placed in their hands by another officer of the ordnance department, whose name they withheld. Grant H. Browne’s Career. NEW YORK, June 7.—Grant Hugh Browne, who was indicted in Detroit today on a charge of conspiring to defraud the government, has been identified with New York and London financial affairs for many years. He was for several years mathema- tician in the department of statistics of the New York Life Insurance Com- pany, and later was associated with the Mutual Life Insurance Company and with the Morton Trus: Company of this city. He severed his connections with the Morton Trust Company in 1907, and since that time has devoted the great- er part of his attention to various steel, lead and cobalt interests which he owned in Canada. He is president of Steel and Radia- tion, Ltd. of Toronto, a director in the’ Page Heiser Iron Tube and Lead Company of Toronto and president of the United Cobalt Exploration Com- pany. For a number of years he had occupied a conspicuous place in vari- oug enterprises as promoter. One of his recent ventures was the forming in London in August, 1914, of a syndicate which purchased the Brit- ish steamer Viking for the purpose of bringing home Americans stranded in Europe when the war broke out. Chicago, Pittsburgh and Boston Centers of Similar Inquiries Indictment of Army officers and business men at Detroit was the first step. by the Department of Justice and Army intelligence service, it was said here yesterday, in a campaign against alleged authors of fraudulent plots against the government in connection with munitions supplies. Chicago, Pittsburgh and Boston were among the cities mentioned here as be- ing other centers of the investigation. Soterios Nicholson, who is implicated in the Detrolt-case, entered public life in ‘Washington about five years ago, when he was admitted to the bar of the Dis- trict Supreme Court. He practiced law in this city until the entry of the United States into the [war. Then he entered the ordnance department with the rank of captain. * He has not been in Washington dur- ing the past several weeks, staying in Detroit most of that time. For some time he was connected with the Greek legation. He is well known in Greek circles around the city. 106 N. & W. Employes Quit Jobs. LYNCHBURG, Va., June 7.—Because of trouble at Wilcox, W.
