TWO MORE DEATHS FROM NEW HAVEN THEATRE FIRE New Jlaven, Nov. 28.—The death list resulting from last night's fire in the Rialto theatre was increased to five to- night whe n Miss Mabel Moran of Derby and Allen Keith, a Yale student, died in the New Haven hospital from burns re- ceived when flames swept the crowded moving picture house. The dead: Miss Mabel Moran, 25, Derby, Conn. Allen Keith, sophomore in Yale, South- port. Conn. - Mrs. Marcella Cowan, widow. New Haven. 3 Harry D. Perrigo, 48, New Haven. Timothy J. Hanlon, 38, New Haven. The police tonight arrested William L, Carroll, manager of the theatre, on a warrant issued by City Attorney Whita- Ker. who was present all day at the in- quest_conducted by Coroner Mix of New Haven county. The warrant contalns two counts. ‘one charginggCarroll with, selifng standing room admissions in vio- lation of o city ordinance, and the other charging violation of the state law in re- gard to standing room in theatres. Car- roll was held in bonds of $2,000. He 1 employed by Black’s New England Thea: tre corporation, which operated the Riaito, Superintendent Hurley of the state | police, as well as several county and city officers, were present when Mr. Whitaker issued the warrant at the conclusion of the day's hearing. Coroner Mix an- nounced that nine w2tnesses had been heard and that the inquest would be con- tinued tomorrow. Among those summon- ed to testify tomorrow is City Building Inspector Austin. Different versions of how Hanlon was fatally injured have been given out, but Coroner Mix tonight sald that his in- quiry showed that the man/was not in the theatre when the fire broke out. He said Hanlon fell over a fire hose while watching the fire. was taken to the hos- ptial with other injured and dled of heart fa‘lure. Coroner M reiterated his belief that the fire started from burning incense which set fire to draperies used on the stage as a Setiy 7 for the 1~ ologue of the film play he shown. \e draperies were made of cheesecloth, the coroner said. identification of a man's body found on a fire escape was made today when it was learned that an automobile owned by Harry D. Perrigo was standing near the theatre. His dentist completed identi- fleation 6f the body by examining the teeth. The number of injured probably ex- ceeds 125, more than 80 of whom were treated at hospitals. Of those remaining in the hospitals, those Jisted as critically injured are Mrs. Margaret Kelley, West Haven ; Mrs. Minnie Cook, Thomas Shan- ley and Victor Corteler, all of this city. Poiice and fire department reports in- dicate that there are no bodies in the wreckage, The brick walls and the stuc- co foyer of the theatre are all that re- main. The structure had been remodeled for moving nicture purposes after having been a church for many vears and later a lecture hall used by Yale university. RESCUE WORK BY YALE FOOTBALL MEN AT FIRE New FHaven, Nov. 28 —Several of Yale's football men took part in the rescuing of spectators in the Rialto theatre fire of last night, it developed today as per- were in the audience. John Locke of Roland Park, Md., and C. B. Esselstyn of New York went back into the theatre and found a child when a woman said she had lost in her struggle to get out. men had to grope about in the smoke, but by keeping in touch both got out all right. R. C. Batty of Utiea, N. Y., dragged a man out with one hand and a woman by the other, and pushed a third out at the same time, and dashing back pulled a woman out by the leg and another by her coat collar. T. E. and A. H.

Whittlesey Disap- peared From Steamer Hava- na Bound From New York. New. York, Nov. 28—TLieut. Col Charles W. Waittlesey, hero of the fa- mous “TLost Battalion,” has disappeared from the Steamship Toloa on which he sailed Saturday for Havana, according to a wereless message received here to- day. News of the farmous soldier's disap- pearance came in the following message received here from the captain of the steamship: “Passenger ‘named ,C. W. Whittlesey disappeared. Left several letters.” Ofticlals of the United States Fruit Line, operators of the ship, confirmed the fact that the passenger in question was Lieutenant Colonel Whittlesey through his_ relatives. Members of Mr. Whittlesey's law firm [here were at a loss to account for his proposed visit to Cuba. When he left {the offices of the firm Friday he an- nounced his intention, they said, of at- tending the Army Navy game on the following day. It has since been learned that Colonel | Whittlesey purchased a ticket for Ha- |vana the following morning and safled that day. His business associates declared that his mind was clear and that he appar- ently was in good health otherwise when last seen. Hé seemed cheertul, they add- ed, and declared they iere unable to explain his seemingly strange action in roing away as he did, without notifying them of his plans. « C. 'W. Whittlesey, the soldier’s un- cle, declared tonight that Colonel Whit- tlesey attended the services for the Un- known Dead at Washington on Armis- tice Day and had since appeared de- pressed. M. Whittlesey said that he ‘ast saw his mephew on Friday even- ing and that he did not notice any de- cided ‘change in his d®meanor at that time. Colonel Whittlesey, who was 38 and unmarried, lifed in a bachelor apartment on East 44th street, Colonel Whittlesey is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank R. Whittlesey of Pitts- He has two brothers, Elisha of Pittsfield and Melzar of this city. ohn B. Pruyn, a lawyer, to whom messages from Captain Grant of the To- loa was addressed, stated tomight that he was of the oninion that Colonel Whittlesey had exded his own life. Ra- dlo messages related that Colonel Whit- tlesey left a note for the cantain re: questing him to notify his parents In Pittsfleld, Mass, and then disappeared from the shir Mr. Pruyn stated that fie believed the tragedy to be the result of the mental strain to which Colonel Whittesey had been subjected as one of the honorary pallbearers at the Armistice Day cere- monies at Washington. The crisn, iaconic replv, “You go to hell” hurled into the teeth of a Ger- man officer who called on him and his | men to surrender, was the _battlefield classic which brought Colonel Whittle- sey into fame overnight : Surrounded in,the Arzonpe with his command, the frst battalion of the 308th Infantry, J7th, Division, Whittle- sey had been cut off for four days with- out food or fresh water. ANl but 87 men had been kiled or wounded. At dusk on October 7, 191§. a_blindfolded German bearing a Wwhite flag crossed the ‘Ines. He” bore a message asking the Americans to surrender, “in the name of humanity A few hours after the messenger had been sent back with Whittlesey’s reply. an ‘American advance took place and all were rescued. His exploit was rewarded by Pres!- dent Wilson with the Congressional Medal of Honor. the most cherished American war time decoration, given only for valor outside the resular line of duty. Some months after the armis- tice the German officer Who demanded Whittlesey's surrender added to his lau- rels by publishing a statement extolinz the American’s courage and determina- tlon. Robert F. Litt'e, of Whitt and Case, the law firm with which Colonel Whit- tlesey has been associated for some i time, rer;*ed a wireless messaze from Captain (ffnt of the Toloa stating that the colonel had left a message for him regarding some law papers. The note ended with: “I will not return.” “Colonel WHittlesey has bad so much avief confrontin ghim since the war that T helieve he could not stand it any long- er” Mr. Litt'e faid tonight. ‘Because of the prominence accorded him. widows and ornhane the country over wrote fo him and anpealed to him In person, Many seemed merely to want his sym- man. “I noticed a change in him when he eame back from the Unknown Soldier services. The funeral at _Arlington seemed to be the climax to all the sad- ness that he went through.” SINN FEIN AWAITING STATEMENT BY CRAIG London, Nov. 28 (by the A. P.)—Rob- ert C.

Boston, Nov. 28.—A storm of sleet and snow. that reached its height early today and then turned to rain caused heavy damage across Central New England. _Telephone and electric light services were most seriously affected, the col- lapse of ice-laden wires and poles caus- ing traffic interruptions that will take days to overcome. Suburbs north of Bos- ton were without lights tonight in most cases, and at least 2,000 subscribers in those places without telephones. Tele- graph companies also -reported service breakdowns. Many points in Massa- chusetts and southern New Hampshire and southern Vermont were without means of oytsile wire communication. Street cars were stalled over a wide area north of this city baccuse of power troubles and tracks blocked by storm de- bris. The financial loss was estimated to ex- ceed $2,000,000. Frult trees were damaged consider- ably, their branches torn off. The elms in the Harvard yard also suffered, and rard shrubs and plants at the Arnold Arboreum Wwere broken. The storm was likened by many to that in which the steamship Portland went down with all hands 23 years ago. Tits destructive force was spent largely ashore, instead of afloat, however. The few marine mishaps were not be- lieved to be serious. The Pollock Rip Slue Lightship, with eleven men aboard, was torn lopse from it moorings by a northeast gale. It was thought she would be able to anchor safely under the lee of Cape Cod in Nantucket Sound. A three masted schooner was in trouble oft Block Island, with the Coast Guard Cutter Acushnet heading to her ald in a heavy rain. The power fisherman Fil- omena of Gloucester, missing in the storm, came to port today, having found shelter at Ipswich Ba ' DAMAGE CAUSED BY 4 STORM IN CONNECTICUT New Haven, Nov 28 —Rain continued to fall today throughout southern Con- necticut, but in the northeastern part of the state and In the Litchfield Hills it turned into an jce stcrm which overioaded wires and brought them down, stripped trees of branches and caused more ¢am- age than any similar storm at this time of the year for a quarter of a century.

Trouble finders were callied in by the wire companles from ali over the state The ice coating was so heavy that tele- phone and telegraph poles wen: down in the highways of Woodstcek and | Thompson. West and south of Killingly there was not mucht trouble. TWO DEATHS FROM THE STOEM IN RHODE ISLAND 2 Boston, Nov. Two deaths result- fng from the storm had been reported tonight, boi in Rhode Island, an 18 year old boy in Woonsocket and a bak- er's driver in Pawtucket, were electro- cuted when they grased fallen wires. In northern New England the snow fall was heavy. Portland, Maine, reported a foot, and iIn barts of Vermont and New Hampshire from 18 to 22 inches fell. ICE STORM EXPERIENCED IN NORTHWESTERN CONNECTICUT ‘Winsted, Conn., Nov. 28.—An ice storm gripped northwestern Connecticut dur- ing the. night breaking telephone com- munication between towns. Telegraph Ilnes were open, however. Under weight of the sleet which fell with the falling j temperature ‘of the night trees came down and boughs snapped. A Colebrook man: coming into Winstea tals forenoon sald he believed there were fifty cords of wood scattered along the highway be- {tween. the towns made up of tree limbs. The ice storm was heavier nortir of here. It was noticeable around XTighland Lake, but arrivals from the south said that there was little sleet in towns in that direction. HEAVY FALL OF SNOW IN SOUTHERN VERMONT Springfield, Nov. 25.—Reports receiv- ed today by the Boston and Main Rail- road officers here showed that 22 inches of snow had fallen in Claremont, N.

New York, Nov. derlip ,New York banker, who has just completed a tour of Europe, declared, in an address before the Economic Club tonight that the treaty of Versailles was “the most unwise document ever struck off from the mind of man.” Before the world could be restored to normal conditions, he said, the treaty would have to be re-wniten and the map of Europe re-drawn. The speaker as- serted that Germany would not be able to meet her indemnity payments and that when she fai'ed to meet them any- thing might happen “from a reveolution in Germany to the breakdown of civili- zation in western Europe.” As a remedy other than the re-draft- ing of the treaty and the re-drawing of the map, he suggested a federalized Eu- rope, “something like a United States of Europe.” Mr. Vanderlip, who returned recently from Europe where he made an exhaustive study of economic conditions, spoke before the Economlc club. He sald he had dis- cussed the debt with the leading responsi- ble government ministers and financiers of Europe, and nearly every nation ad- mitted inability to pay. The United Stites would be hurt as much by the rapid receipt of payment in the form of goods, the only possivle form of payment in view of the demoralizati:n of foreign exchange, he said, as the al- lied debtors would be harmed in making the payment. “The full consequenees would be pro- foun he said, “if the payments could be made and were made with any degree of promptness. Weé need not look fur- ther than to contemplate theé receipt of $500000,000 a year of interest. If that came in the form of goods our industrial situation would be upset to an extent we have not heretofore experienced and the consequant social problems which would be raised, would be menacing." Mr. Vanderlip said he would lay down the principle that the allied debt was & just debt, legally 3ad morally, and whether it could be pald er not, It should be cheerfully and gratefully acknowledged as a just debt. “Next, I would want America to be both an intellggent and a lenient creditor,” he continued. *Terms <f payment ought to be adapted to the means of our debtors. In that respect we should take the ac- tion of the allies in fixing in fixing the terms of the indemnity as an example to be avoided rather than folldwed., “The crux of my plan would lie in the disposition of the payments. “] would have America make a grand gesture in international relationships. While demanding that the payment be made, I would e America say that she | 28.—Frank A, \’ln-'is prepared for the present to forego the receipt of {t."* Concerning what ghould be done with the money paid back, Mr. Vanderlip sald: T would like to see every dollar that can ever be paid to us by our debtors for years to come, devoted to the rehabi- itation of Eurbpean civilization. only through & thesq debts can ever concelvably be paid, and Americd realize In full measure her destiny or can expect a full measure of prosperity for her pecple.” He believed a plan for the development of eastern Europe could be lald out, he said, comparable to the vision of our fore- fathers had when the latent possibilities of our great west were unfolfed to their mind¥, “Everything the war has cost,” he add- ed, “everything an unwise peace is cost- ing, can be recompensed, and beyond that a great economic margin created, if east~ ern Europe can be put in order and help- ed wisely to handle its own problems and it the peaple of eastern Europe can be made to comprehend their economic unity and brought to understand that in the welfare of all nations, lies the highest prosperity of each. To a program of this kind, he declared,. he would devote for many years every dollar this country could get of the allled debt. 1“We need not make irrevocable des cision when we embark on this program. For a good many years, I belleve 1 would be wise for us to devote all we re- ceive to such purposes as I have smg- gested. It is entirely possidle, however, that thers would become such econemic restoraticn that in the end, a considerable part, conceivably nearly all of the prinets pal might be pald to us. Interest money that we ioaned and re-loaned for scemo- mic development would be convertad: from the original obligation of the allies 1o obligations representing material prop. erties which we created, and probably backed by the obligations of tke govern ments of those countries whete this econ-. omic development took place. The time might come when we would cease to maks these sums reyolving credits for European economic development. hecause there re-. ally would not be further need for us to do so.

P.) —Taking its first direct action toward the liberation of China from foreign influenc- es, the arms conference today agreed on the- withdrawal of - foreign post offices and postal systems from Chinese sol The decision was conditioned only on the maintenance by China of efficient postal facilities of her own, including re- tention of the present domestic organiza- tion by which a French co-director gen- eral acts as advisor to the Chinese pos- tal authorities. January 1, 1923, virtually was agreed upon as the date of with- drawal, the Japanese alone withholding final approval on the point pending con- sultation with Toklo. Constituting the first concrete appli- cation of the principle of Chinese admin- istrative Integrity as delineated in the “four points” of Ellhui Root, the postal agreement is expected to be followed to- morrow by another providing for grad- ual abolition of the system of extra ter- ritorial rights under which a dozen for- eign governments have set up their own courts in China, and by a discussion of China's request that foreign troops quartered within her borders without treaty sanction be withdrawn. The question of troop withdrawal m: lead .the delegates into mome of the m: troublesome questions of the Far East. BSome of the forces which the Chinese de- clare are In China without authority are Japanese quartered along the line of the Shantung railway, and others are within the debated territory of South Manchu- ria. Thus the negotiations promise to touch“upon the Shantung and Manchuria controversies for the first time, although it is considered likely that the rea] is- sues of these two problems will be put over for discussion when the conference takes up, in the very nean future, the specific subject of railway leases. Along with the foreign troop question the Chinese will ask for a consideration of the status of certaln foreign tele- graph and wireless systems which they declare exist In China without her con- sent. . In Japanece quarterg it was said to- night that the Tokio governmment was ready to withdraw its troops from the area are as not covered by treaty stipu- lations as soon as China could insure the safety of Japanese nationals and prop- erty within those zones. Since the Jap- anese forces are more widely affected than those of any other nation by the Chinese request, the attitude of the Jap- anese delegates was taken as forecasting at least a declaration of principle fa- vorable to withdrawal. The search clause was understood to have been inserted i nthe agreement aft- er the Chinese had charged that large quantities of oplum were being carried through CShina in the foreign post in contravavention of the anti-oplum law. The retention of the present Freuch co- director, M. Pickard-Destelan, it was said, was stipulated solely in the in- terest of efficient operation f the Chinese postal system. The declaration on extra territorialliy provides that the governments of Spain, Norway, Sweder and Denmark, which have courts in China but are not repre- ecnted here, would be Invited to join in the lon eof RESOLUTION DRAFTED ON CHINA’'S TERRITORIAL RIGHTS ‘Washington, Nov. 28.—(By the A.
