Demoralization of transit lines of nds was almost unprecedented. Iv the subwarys were maintaining 1 schedules and every train in m was literally mobbed at the <h hour. Station platforms were packed and the crowds bulged out in he sireets. So serious was the situation that Mayor Hylan issued a proclamation late today calling upon all persons engaged in the transportation busi- ne except in the delivery of food- stuffs. coal and milk, to cease work from tonight until Tuesday morning, turning their trucks and laWoring forces over to the city to meet the storm emergency. The street cleaning department admitted that it was virtually help- jess because of its inability to hire men. From 75 cents to $1 an hour was ‘offered for snow shovellers but only 3,000 of the 14,000 men needed e be recruited. ing trucks and men to remove all the gepartment could do keep plows moving to clear paths in the middle of the streets ch were filled up almest as soon as ther are opened.

Many of the passengers are believed to be suffering from cold and expo- sure. The ship is also said to be Tightles tsonight, as the lighting plant was reported out of commission. The coast guard cutter Manhattan, which started out late today. to. the_ rescue of the Princess Anne, Was forced to turn back because of the shallow water in_whieh the stricken hip sis resting. Tugs also found the water too shallow to risk an attempt to get alongside the vessel.

Officials o the -Old Dominion line announced tonight ‘that it was be- lieved all attempts to rescue the pas- sengers on. the Princ Anne would be abandoned until daylight. At that time a wrecking outfit is expected to be alongside the vessel, unless the sea ig running too high. The wreck- ing steamer Rescue is rushing to_the scene as fast as possible from Nor- folk and is expected to arrive during! the morning. 1f the weather continues rough to- morrow and the stranded steamer is endangered by the heavy seas it is planned to attempt the rescue of the passengers by breeches buoy. If it is impossible to shoot lines aboard, it is stated that the naval dirigible B-10, which is at Rockaway air station, may be used to carry a line to the vessel. STORM AND INFLUENZA DELAYING RAILROAD TRAINS Spain ‘Fails to Get-Argentina Wheat. Madrid, Feb, 6—The Libertad to- day published a rumor that the Spanish ambassador to Argentina has been called by cable, owing to alleg- ed mismanagement of the govern- ment's scheme for the purchase of wheat. The newspaper says that when ships arrived in Argentine ports they found no wheat and, as a matter of fact, their contracts were worthless. TO MODIFY THE LODGE . “TREATY RESERVATIONS Washington, Feb. 6.—The modified Lodge reservations, agreed on tenta- tively by the recently abandoned bi- partisan committee, most likely will be basis on which consideratio of the peace treaty will be resumed next week in the senate. Republican leaders, after a_series of conferences with thef party col- leagues today decided to take the initiative on the senate floor in sug- gesting adoption of the bi-partisan committee's modifications of the Lodge reservations. Although it is expected under the decision that the original republican reservations will be attached to the treaty when it is referred to the foreign relations com- mittee, it is understood Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the republi can leader, will present the modified draft as a substitute after the com- mittee hag reported. Définite decision as to whether the democrats would accept the reserva- tions with these modifi# .6 will not be reached, it was said today, until tomorrow’s conference of demo- cratic friends of the treaty and per- haps not then. The general opinion prevailed, however, that the changes worked out in the unofficial commit- tee negotiations would prove satis- factory to a majority of democratic senators. Acceptance of the bi-partisan mod- ifications by both republicans and democrats was oonsidered as likely to narrow differences to a few of the prominent issues. In some quarters it was predicted that agreement would be reached without much delay on all but two of the fourteen reservations proposed for incorporation in the ratification. These two relate to Article Ten and the Monroe Doctrine, on which re- publican leaders assert their deter- mination to a@cept no modification, while the democrats are equally em phatic in their declaration that mpod ification will be necessar§ if -the treaty is to be ratiffed. Despite this situation, there are many senators on both sides of the chamber who predict that some agreement eventually will be reached. The group of irreconcilables oppos- ing the treaty held numerous con- however, | When “Written Pledges of Loyalty to the Principles of Liberty” Will Be Sent to Mayors of Cities. Trenton, N.

The vote was 518 to 68. Premier Millerand as- serted that the government was de- termined ' to execute vigorously and fully the peace treaty and serve no- tice upon Germany that “all that she owes we will exast. The premier said he considered that the Germans had flagrantly failed to execute the delivery of coal burning more coal to warm themselves than did the French. M. Millerand declared he regretted that the United States had not yet ratified the treaty, but remarked that the reparations commission ‘was functioning and "we have no disquie- tude concerning the final decision of the United States.” Discussing _the Franco-American military pact; M. Millerand said it was reassuring because both . countries want it, except that one wants it to be perpetual while the other wants it terminated if the League of Nations it later deemed to afford adequate protection.

More than a half dozen seagoing tugs, a coast guard cutter and a police boat, which put out to the aid of the stranded vessel, were unable to get within _hailing distance, and shortly after nightfall temporarily abandon- ed their plans to take off the 32 pas- sengers, On the shore, the coast guard made a desperate but futile effort to get 3 lifeboat out 1o the steamship.

The storm area has swung to the north, it was said,_and tonight had reached the New 'England coast. It had stopped snowing in the sodthern group of middle Atlantic states and a surcease some lime tOmOrrow was predicted for most of New York. The bureau’s forecaster said it might be tomorrow: night before New England- ers could begin to shovel snow with assurance that their Jabors would not be in vain. But with the exception of New England prospects were that tomorrow would bring clearing wea- ther. Temperatures area will remain about slightly below part, #IW ENGLAND STILL IS TIED UP STORM Boston, Feb. 6.—New England went to bed tonight with hardly a start to- ward recovery from the blizzard that paraiyzed the greater part of this section yesterday. Rain followed the snow and fell throughout today and into the night. Weather bureau offi- cials were “making 10 promises.” “Let's hope it doesnt freeze,” said officials of the three principal rail- ways which have been hit hard by the storm. Attempts to get schedules into shape again made some progress today on the Boston and Maine and Hoston and Albany' roads, which did not feel the edects of the blizzard as keenly as the New York, New Haven and Hartford. Thirty-two trains stalled and nine derailed_was_the story at the offices of the New Haven roa dtonight. Of- ficials were doubtful whether the tan- gle would be straightene dout by the morning. They agreed that a “freeze- up” would make the situation almost hopeless. No regular schedule was in opera- tion on the Boston and Mzine but there was an approximation of service on the main lines. The branches were shut down. Many “blind” trains wait- d for hours in the stations late today and tonight for enzines to take them out, most of the engines having been dispatched from the veards last night to assist stalled trains.

EDUCATION, NOT LAWS, CURE FOR RADICALISM Washington, Feb. 6.—Stringent laws and strict enforcement of them will not curb radicalism but education must walk hand in hand with . law, Charles D. Newton, " attorney gen~ eral of New York, today told the house judiciary committee, which is considering anti-sedition legislation. Though giffering with the New York attorney general in the extent ment, Francis H. F. Kane, who re- signed as district attorney for east- ern Pennsyivania hecause he differed with the deparimrent of justice in its campaign against the “Reds,” agreed that education was needed because many members of the communist, communist labor and other radical parties were ignorant of the purposes of the organizations and signed membership cards under false as- sumptions, L Former District Attorney Kane told the committee he saw no menace to the country, whatever, in the way of rz._dicahsm. much of that which is said and written on the subject be- ing “mere bunk.” From the New York attorney gen- eral, however, the committee got a different view. IYive hundreq thous- and radicals had organized in New York with the plan of overthrowing the government, he said, adding that unless congress and the American i people soon awake to the danger it ! Will be too late to stop their activi- | ties. i The radical movement, Attorney General Newton asserted, is fed on ignorance and misguidance. For that reason he recommended that teach- ers of Americanization work simul- taneously with departmer af iustice agents, the former to educate in ‘pa- triotism those liable to fall under the teachings of the radicals and the lat- ter to arrest and hand over for de- portation the graduated pupils in the radicalism schools.
