Ys SPLIT IN DEMOCRAT ANS | TO BREAK TREATY DEADLOCK AND FORCE: A COMPROMISE Many Senators on Both Sides, Dis- pleased With the Attitude’ of Wilson and Lodge, Hope to Find a Plan by Which Ratification May Be Brought About. By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, Dee. 15 (Copyright, 1919).—President Wilson himself dictated the statement issued at the White Hpuse as of the “high-| est authority” to the effect that he had no move of compromise or con- cession in mind with reference to the status ofthe treaty of peace. Senator Lodge, Republican leader, has insisted that he would not take the initiative, Each side blames and holds the other responsible. On the surface this may seem like confirmation of the fears of a permanent deadlock between the executive and legislative branches of the Government, But there are other factors and forces of sufficient influence and strength to bring about a compromise, In the first placo, foreign Govern- * Rede A hs seoeernticus i to nu SOE CARDINALS NAMED AT SECRET CONSISTORY cepted.

Judge Mulqueen, in Part I, of Gen- | eral Sessions, to-day complimented | The ning World for its efforts in directing public attention to the cir- the and secret burial of Mrs. Anna Cal- seventy-two years old, of No. 208 West 83d trect, who was killed by a taxicab and buried in Mount Kensico Cemetery within thirty-s1x hours, the burial permit being issued on fguudulent ‘and false entries on public records, ‘Tho matter came up on the motion of Willian D. Boslér,-Ney 60 Broad- way, a former Assistant District At- turney, for the inspection of the min- j utes of the November Grand Jury which dismissed a charge of hom!- olde against Bartholomew Sullivan, driver of the tixicab which ran over Mrs. Calliess, Mr. Bosler argued for the inspection of the minutes on the ground of public policy, with a view, hegsaid, of presenting additional evi- deneé to the District Attorney to be laid before another Grand Jury. “The matter under investigation js one of unusual interest to the public at large,” said Mr. Boslor, “It shows that @ person can be killed upon the public highways of the gity of New York, removed to a hospital, then to a Morgue and by fraudulent dnd forged orders and by fraudulent statements in the death .certificate the body may be taken by any pi | son interested in seoreting or dispos- ing of It. All that is necessary 1s for an undertaker to sign the name of any person to the papers, claim some relationship and then bury the Lody without notifying the actual rela- tives.” Assistant District Attorneys Fred- erick A. Sullivan and James KE. Smtih agreed that the minutes should be open to inspection. “[ am convinced that it is in Yo Interests of the public that these min- utes be inspected,” said Judge Mul- queen. “The action of The Evening World in disclosing the irregularities in this case should be complimented. If I had impannelled that Grand Jury I would grant the motion without hesitation, As it is, I will refer the matter to Judge Rosalsky, who em- panneled the Grand Judy and pre- sided over the deliberations, 1 will consult with Judge Rosatsky to-day, and I believe there ts no doubt the motion will be granted.” At the inquiry conducted by Dr. umstances surrounding hurried Hess, a ‘t| william H, Guilfoy, Register of Rec- ords of the Department of Health, George H.
