LABOR BOARD MAY TAKE HAND IN TEXTILE STRIKE Providence, R. I, March 23.—W] the state board of mediation and concili- ation no longer, exlsts, the state board of labor, which created the former body, “is ready at any time to take up the tex- tile dispute in Rhode Island and seek for remedles,” according to Labor Commis- sioner George H. Webb. Mr. Webb's intimation that the labor board might take a.hand in the situa- tion was made this afternoon, after the issuance of a statement by the members of the mediation board that they had re- signed and that the boards had ceased to exist, because the members believed that further efforts to settle the strike “would be without advantage to the parties to the strike or the public generally.” Today, the opening of the third montn of the strike, was marked by a clash be- tween strikers and police and deputy sherifts at Phillipsdale, in East Provi- dence, inthe course of which a score of shots were fired and one striker wound- ed. The trouble arose when thé police and deputy sheriffs attempted to disperse a group of strikers. The authorities sald that the men were preparing to ambush a truck load of workers bound for a Pawtucket mill. ‘The strikers, however, asserted that they were on their Way home after having been on picket duty and that the attack of the officers was made without reason. Sherift Andrews, of Providence county, Jin geniral chargs of b6 protection of plants in the Blackstone valley district, issued a statement today opposing the removal from Pawtucket of any more of the National Guardsmen on duty thero. The men left, Sherifft Andrews sald, were not sufficient to meet emer- gencles and to reduce thelr numbers fur- ther would be a mistake. VETERANS' BUREAU TO CONTROL HEALTH SERVICE HOSPITALS Washington, ~ March 23.—President Harding will be asked to transfer, by executive order, sixty public health ser- vice hospitals to the control of the vet- erans’ bureau, Director Forbes an- nounced today.

UNEMPLOYMENT REDUCES PHYSICAL EFFICIENCY New York, March 23.—Prolonged un- employment has reduced the physical | efficiency of young New Yorkers to the point where only one of five applicants +{for army enlistment is found acceptable, Colonel W. B. Atkinson. head of the New York recruiting service, said today. “During the period of ty tm- i mediately following the war compara- few men were " he said. Now, we find we must reject approx mately four out of every five.

WITNESS AT ARBUCKLE TRIAL BROKE DOWN San Francisco, March 23.—Alice Blake, testifying for the prosecution in the third manslaughter trial of Roscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle, broke down today during her recitation of the events at the iparty in Arbuckles hotel suite which preceded the death of ~Miss Virginia Ragpe. Court recessed until she had regalned her composure. In answer to charges made by defense counsel that she had been coerced and intimidated, Miss Blake said on re-direct examination that nothing the district at- torney had said or done had affected her veracity. ’ Miss Blake, attorneys said, probably woull be the most {mportant of the prosecution witnesses, because of the@b- sonce of Zey Prevost, show girl, who oc- cupled the stellar position in Arbuckle's two_earller trials, Miss Grace E. Halston, surgical nurse at the Wakefield sanatorfum, testified that Mies Rappe had been receivedthere Sept. 6 and died Sept. 9. She said she saw brulses on both arms and one leg of the film actress and when asked to de- scribe the bruises in detail she did so over the protest of the defense. George W. Blum, police photographer, identified photographs of the actress’ right arm, and others showing two bruises of her face and of her legs. Arbuckle avoided looking at the pho- tograph of the girl's face. District Attorney Brady offered a mo- tion that the testimony of Miss Prevost at the first two trials be read into the record. It will be passed upon later.

New York,” March22.—Germany’s more serious - financial and general economic position among the nations of the world found concrete expression here today when the mark fell to the new low rec- ord of 29%-100ths of one cent. The ex- tent of this collapse, probably unprece- dénted in modern history, may be gaug- ed from the fact that the noreal or pre- war value of the mark here was 23 8-10 cents. Selling of German exchange at this center has been unusually large recently at steady reactions, but offerings assum- ed most impressive proportions in the last few days. The increased liquidation, apparently accompanied by specugtive offerings was !ascrived by informed interests as di- rectly traceable to the demand of the Unitéd States government for payment of the expense of its army of occupation on theRhine. For this a claim of $241,- 000,000 already has been presented to the reparations commis! Another factor in the demoralization is the severity of the terms imposed on the Berlin government as a pre-requisite to the granting of a partial moratorium. These involve the flotation of a foreign loan or levy on home capital and a halt in all capital exports. Despite the panicky financial condi- tions prevailing in Germany, some of the banks of that country seem to have prospered amazingly. A cable from Ber- lin today gave a summary of the Berlin- er Handels Gasselschaft, a leading insti- sution, "which reported met profits of 62,000,000 marks for 1921, against 37. 00,000 in 1920. YOUNG WOMAN JNMPED FROM 23D STORY WINDOW New York, March 23.—Despondent De- cause of ill health, Esther Davidson, 28- year-old law office employe, today pen- cilled a will on a piece of scratch paper and jumped from a twenty-third story window of The Times building, Broad- way and Forty-second street. She, fell upon. a_wire mesh over an eighteenth floor skylight and shortly af- lterv{ard dfed in a hospital of a broken back and other injuries. A shower of glass tinkling down an elevator shaft when her body struck the skylight, attracted the building superin- tendent, who found her in a sitting pos- ture. “How did you get here?” he asked. “Jumped—but don’t know how I sum- med up enough courage” she answered, then lapsed into unconsciousness. Her pencilled will bequeathed $25 each to two girl friends and all her other pos- sessions to a sister. On the reverse side of the will she wrote: “May God forgive me for what I am about to do. but the mental torture I have gone through for two months is un- bearable. MID-LENTEN FESTIVAL ¢ CELEBRATED IN PARIS Paris, March 23 (By the A. P)— Paris, except that portion preoccunled with weighty affairs of state, gtve»kse\f | over today to light hearted celebration of {the Micareme, or mid-Lenten festival, !tamnus in pre-war days, despite an un- i wonted blanket of our inches of spring snow. “The characteristic procession of alle- gorical floats, always the principal fea- !ture of the festival, was delayed but not | abandoned by the unseasonable weather. THalf an hour after the procession was scheduled to start it seemed as if na- ture’s confetti—swirling _snow—would | prevent the appearance of its ‘man-made { multi-colored competitor.

J., and Michael Ruglero of New Britain, charged with murder. This was the first | public explantation of the murder mys- tery. Renaldine was found in his auto- mobile cIln:ix to the steering wheel, his mouth gaged and & bullet Bole behind the ear, Cropanese used ‘a deputy sheriff to Oemonstrate his testimony. Previous wit- nesses had sworn that they knew Ren- aldino as a liquor runner, although he had also posed as an insurance agent. Cropanese swore that Ruglero shot Ren- 2ldino as he held him against the wheel, saying “now I am going to show you if you can steal any more whiskey.” The witness said that Renaldino drove up to a place on a back road in Farm- ington on October 25, 1920, to meet him- self, Cianflone and Rugiero in regard to some whiskey. Cropanese said that as Renaldino stopped the car he called out asking if they had the whiskey. Clan- flone inquired if he had the money. Ren- aldino, the witness said, replied that he had $900 and would bring the rest the next day. Renaldino again asked as to the whis- key and Cianflone told him to turn the car. As he started to comply, the wit- ness said that Rugiero seized Renaldino, who cried out, “lst me go, let me go, I will give vou the money.” Rugiero climb- ed into the car and forced him against the wheel. The witness took a deputy #oeriff to show how this was done. Clanflone, b= said, yelled, “shut up,” and Rugiero®ook a handkerchief, knotted it and forced it into Renaldino's mouth. Then he took a roll of bills from the man'’s pockets and put them into his own. Then Rugiero said he would show Ren- aldo if he could steal any more whis key, put a revolver behind his ear and fired. Cropanese said that Cianflone took some of the money and threw it across the rbad, saying that that would make it look like suicide. He also took @ note book and pencil from a coat pocket and dropped on the floor of the car. Then he put the revolver which Rugiero had used in Renaldino’s hand. Cropanese said that he “drove like qua devil to Mise's home! and the “cowboy,” as Clanflone is known, of- fered him $50. The witness said he re- fused it, and Cianflone said to him: “If you tell anybody we will get you, and if We can't get you we will get some mem- ber of your family.” FLYING BOAT WITH SIX PERSONS ABOARD MISSING Miamt, Flo., Mbren 25—An all” diy search for the missing flying boat Miss Miami with six persons aboard had to- night resulted in no trace of the craf being found.

Washington, Marci 25 - T concluded tonight its long devate - four-power Pecific trealy and prepared for its final vote tomorrcw withi the lead- ers on both sides privately agreeing that ratification by a narrow margin secmed certain. A display of oratorical fireworks, scarcely surpassed In spectacular effect even during the Versailles treaty fight, brought the debate to an end. Both op- ponents and supporters of the pact sum- {med up thelr four weeks of argument in a running cross fire of discussion that lasted all day and until late at night but apparently did not change a vote. Estimates of the outcome made tonight | by senators well informed of the situa- ition placed the Tatification majority at from three to ten votes, depending on how many of these whe have been count- cd against the treaty join the majority once they see that the administration leaders are sure of the two-thirds nec- essary to ratify. A dozen or more reservasions amendment also must be voted on to morrow, but “ghe administration man- agers are confident of the defeat of all of them except the “no alliance” declara- tion framed by the foreign relations committee and accepted by President Harding. A final effort to secure admin- istration acceptance of a second reserva- tion extending the privileges of the tre: to outside powers failed during the da and Gespite the promise of the reservationists hat such a concession would secure several more votes for the treaty. More than a score of semators took part of the last hours of the debate which came to an end automatically un. der a previous agreement when the sen- ate finally adjourned tonight. Making their last stand, the treaty opponents marshalled all their oft-repeat- ed arguments against the four-power rangement as an “alliance” and Injec ed several new issues that caused mo- mentary sensations and led to bitter ex- changes. A recent speech by Trotzky serving notice that the new interpreta- tion group should not forget the Red army of Russia was quoted by Senator Borah. Adlegations that the pastor who opened the arms conference with prayer was compelled . to omit the game of Christ were thrown into the debate by Sena- tors Reed, Hitchcock and others. In an arraginment of the treaty as a return to the old balance of power system, Seha- tor Glass declared it was a step toward war instead of peace.

They argued that the opposition had misrepresented the terms of the treaty and the situation it would creats and aserted that rejection of the four- power plan would jepardize the whoie programme of the arms onnference. During the two sessions today and to< night a new batch of propossd reserv. tions were added to the half dozen al- ready pending. They included one by Senator Walsh, of Montana, for partici pation of outside powers in Pacific con- ferences affecting their interests. Sena- tor LaFollette, submitted six providing among other things that any signators Thight terminate the treaty on one years notice, that there should be no separats agreements among any of the four pow- ers prejudical to the purposes of the treaty, that the Anglo-Japaness ailiance should not be renewed during the life of the treaty and that the independence of the Philippines, when attained, snould be respected by all the signatories. An outburst of handclapping, the first of the treaty debate, swept the senate galleries when Semator Reed concluded 2 dramatic denunciation of the pact at evening session with a peroration aski that his country continte in the pathway marked out by the fathers. Ushers tried in vain to stop the demonstration iz violtion ‘of the rule prohibiting ap- plause, but it comtimued unchecked for nearly a minute. The “irresistible logic”™ of the four- power treaty, Senator Reed deciared at he concluded his speech, would be tq drive Russia and Germany together for mutuai protection. “And when that force strikes,” he said wiil strike with a crushing force. M will strike France and Great BEritain, and the United States 1 b= bound te them. Then you, who to gain a political advantage support this treaty, mayes®- deem this treaty with the blood of yout sons and the tears of your daughters. “Let those who il carry out thig compact turn their oats betray their country, but as for me I shall continue to stand for the doctrines of Washing- lmn. whica oatlive the poiicies and quib- bling of the ages. At 11 p. m., when the senate recessed until noon tomorrow, the day’s debate had covered more than nine hours.
