The Pree Publisiting NE Ww YORK, “THURSDAY, JUNE 5, INTO PEACE TREATY LEAK: HITCHCOCK ATTACKS LODGE MAYOR AND CRAIG DISAGREE lican Leader Held Stolen Goods in His Hands. 30DGE HITS AT WILSON. Tilt Caused by Proposal to Raze Buildings and Evict 225 Families. For the first time in the history of their official relations Mayor Hylan and Comptroller Craig to-day disagreed. It was over the action of the Comptroller in turning down a request of Park Com- missioner John N. Harman for the raz- ing of buildings in the lock bounded by Johnson Avenue and Lorimer, Leon- ard and Boerum Streets, Brooklyn, and converting the site into « park. “If the request of the Park Commis- sioner is compiiod with,” reported Comp- trotier Craig, “the result wif be the Williams Accuses Him and Borah of Wishing Only to Nag President. ‘WASHINGTON, June 5.—It was #tated authoritatively to-day that Senator Hitchcock introduced his res- #lution providing for an investigation fn the treaty-leak in Wall Street at a Foquest from the White House after When the matter came before the ; Sinking Fund Commission to-lay Com: missioner Harman said these families would have every opportunity to find new living quarters. “I don't want to see any poor family evicted," said the Mayor, “and I do not think Commissioner Harman wants to, either.

In the Senate Mr. Hitchcock brought the resolution up for discussion and ta closing he bitterly criticised Bora end Lodge. “These Senators declare in effect,” @aid Hitchcock, “that the President | avtthbolds the treaty from the Senate | ‘hd insinuate that he permits copies to go to business interests. These faterests, they say, have a particular faterest in the treaty. This is an at- tack on the President of the most fcandalous character. It is a new chapter in the attack on the treaty. Jt ts done for the purpose of attack- ing the treaty. CONVEYS WRONG IMPRESSION ABOUT THE PRESIDENT. “It conveys to the public mind the impression that @ secret combin- ation exists between the American Peaco Delegation and certain finan- interests, by which the latter ere given advance information—a gnonstrous charge.” “E wish you wouldn't say ‘they,” Lodge interjected. ‘I did not say anything about business interests yaving the treaty. I'm willing to take full blame for having brought rhe matter up, but please quote me correctly.” Borah added that Lodge was cor- rect, “although I wish he had said momething about business interests,” “Well,” replied Hitchcock, “appar- ently the business interests in whose @bnfiderce Senators Borah and Lodge appear to be, did not favor Senator Verah with a glimpse of the treaty, ‘Shey appear to have shown Senator Lodge greater favor, “Men who make such a charge owe 4t to the public to demand an investi- gation and they would have, had they yaade the charge in’ the public interest. "They apparently do not appreciate the gravity of the charges nor the em- barrassing position in which they fave placed themselves by not de- manding an inquiry.” Genator Hitchcock declared that if New York interests had treaty copies they “apparently are in closer com- families. ‘The Mayor decided on a two weeks’ adjournment of the case. HOT WAVE TO CONTINUE, Greater Humidity To-Day Despite Slightly Lower Femperature— Cooling Breezes Possible. Down at the Weather Bureau this morning Meteorologist Jim Scarr said he would like like anything to tell New York that the heated spell iu on the way out to sea or some place but as an officer and a gentle- man he just couldn't do it At 9 o'clock the temperature was 2, or six points below the figure for the same hour yesterday. “The humidity, however,” explained the United States meteorologist, “is considerably higher; #o that there 1s little change in the degree of dis- comfort.” New York's high mark yesterday was 92, not at ail bad when con- sidered alongside Albany’s 96, Scran- ton's 98, and Hartford's 98, The freakiest weather performance of the day was staged at Northfield,*Vt, celebrated in New England as t “place the cold weather comes from.” With a temperature of 96, Northfield, yesterduy was one of the hottest| places on the map, “There remaing Just the possibility of @ shift to east or southeasterly wind which would lower the tempe: ature eight to ten degrees this af ternoon.

There were about 100 persons pres- ent at half-past 10 o'clock, Mr. Hickson layman in manner, speech and bearing, but his meet- ot Ex-Tammany Chief ‘Snapped’ Just Before He Sailed To-Day ings with those who come to seek his help in the church bave nothing of the clinic about them. They bave more the atmosphere of family prayers. {a his with those who gathers’ pathetic inquiries as to the ailment of each. He asked in a gencral way for the history of thetr efforts and those of physicians to better them- ‘ selves. He explained that his powers were not those of a “heater,” but one who could help them to a new faith in God, in the efficacy of prayer and in the normal healthfulness of lite, As the “patients,” nearly all whom were obviously chronic in- valids, moved forward to seats along the centre aisle a young woman as- | sistant to Mr. Hickson, with a note- book and pencil, quietly took down | their names and data as to the ail- ment from which each one had saf- fored, how long and how much had been done to counteract it. Mr, Hickson etood at the front bench of the choir, and after he had read a few prayers of the Episcopal ritual to open the service the young woman conducted the sufferers to him in the order in which she had taken their names, He led them to the bench, each in turn, and sat talking with them for a moment or two, evidently offering sympathy, consolation and assurance in faith, He ended the talk with each one by laying his hand on the patient, sometimes on the head or arms, once or twice on the bips, and closed his eyes to recite the prayer of the chureh tor the sick and afflicted. Sometimes the prayer was not uttered aloud. In several inetances the persons who sought him were feeble and were as- sisted to him by those who accompa- nied them to the chapel. Nine-tenths of those who sought aid were women. There was a noticeable change in the carriage of those who left the chancel rail after Mr. Hickson had worked with them. They scomed up- lifted, walked with less lagging steps and were smiling, though often through tears, At the conclusion of the service Mr. Hickson asked those who had been present as observers only not to charge him with any thought that he was a “healer” in his own person. In early life, in his own family, he said he discovered his ability to in- spire new faith in those who were discouraged by long suffering, even to the extent of their being able to resist pain and find a new vitality for getting well. “I belleve,” he said, “that my work has enabled those who have come to me to find a physica! cure. would be doing a great wrong if any- of tring said of my efforts should be used for the deprecation of the sci- entific use of medicine and surgery. |To strengthen faith, faith in the di- vine healing powers of a Christ Who | (Continued on Second Page.) | ease aye BEFORE MEALS vod digmice wakes you feel, But tt] Richard Croker "YT wnser, TRAIN FILLED WITH MINERS BLOWN UP IN PENNSYLVANIA 78 KILLED AND 40 INJURE ~ WILKES-BARRE, Pa., June 5.—Seventy-eight men lost their lives tn an explosion and fire in the Baltimore No, 2 Tunnel of the Hudson Coal Company to-day and 31 others were injured.

The mass greeting Mecided to ap- point a committees to visit the strike headquarters in the Labor Temple to- day and to demand that the strike leaders immediately announce their stand on the local food situation and the alien question. It was intimated that if the strike leader's reply was not satisfactory, the delegation of returning soldlors “would take things ‘nto their own hands.” Military du- thorities urged the paraders not to visit the temple en masse “to-day.” Mayor Charies ¥. Gray addressed the meeting and sald the city wanted two thousand special constables from the ranks of returned soldiers, “to protect honest labor from intimida- tion, to provide food for all classes, and to safeguard every branch of your service” followed the Mayor's request.
