WASHINGTON, March 1.—First in population, first in wealth, first in | in meamefacturing. production, first support of the Government by vol- ume of tax payments, the State of | New York should be first in influence in the National Legislature. In fact, the State of New York measured by in the National Legislature, is a joke ~a tragic joke. In point of active participation in legislative affairs, in point of constructive work for the benefit of the nation, 75 per cent. of the New York deicgation to Congress might as well be sele Sew York in the Na- “tional Legislature is still and 2.75, which is by way has no author!

By David Lawrence. ecial Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, Mareh 1 (Copy- right, 1920).—Franklin Lane’s fare- |'well address—written to President Wilson, but in reality intended for the American ,>ople—is being va- riously interpreted as a criticism of the Wilson Administration in which he served seven years, but mostly as an indictment of the public serv- ice itself in which he spent twenty years under Republican as well as | Democratic administrations, | When the departing Secretary of the Interior, however, characterizes | official Washington as “a combina- jtion of political caucus, drawing room and civil service bureau, con- {taining statesmen who are politicians \and politicians who are not states- men,” he expresses himself with a {freedom from restraint which a good |many officials still in service would }like to exercise. For there are two kinds of men in the Government— jtuose who realize present methods are inadequate and inefficient and those who don't want to realize it because it might disturb personal or party aspirations. Mr. Lane is ineigible for the Presi- dency. He happens to have been born in Canada. He can’t go higher in the ladder of polities. He is re- tiring to private business. He car- ries with him no grudges, no resent- ments, no bitterness or disappoint- ment. What he says, therefore, can't be taken as personal, but impersonal. Yet he has started something that may get to be personal before the Presidential out, For his| statement may focus public attention on the topsy-turvy condition of the public service to-day and start people thinking about better types of men for the next electoral contests, PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS CALLED MAIN TROUBLE. ie Mr had been disposed to be personal, indeed, he might havo put his finger on the mainspring of year is Lane (outinued on Sixth Page.) |} MILAN, March 1—As a result of a | collision betw a crowd and the Itice here yesterday, in which the of- fivers fired on the and two civ bs Were mortally wounded, a general siriac was declared at midnight > ton Sunday Pxcursion art 7 Ighi.—-Adi | Balto, & Waa eueeaiaee ORLD TRAY EL BU BEAU, | areata ort Teex | Mow. ‘Gis, Tole. | Cres eam for bagince od jrresis me ope, das the trouble—Presidential politics.

PARIS, March 1.—Three active | strike leaders in the Paris railroud unions were arrested to-day. They were M. Sirolle, M. Leveque and M. Sigrand. Secretary General Chaverot of the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean unions, and union leader Hourdeaux Were arrested later. All those under detention are charged with “interfer- ence with the liberty to work and Provoking disobedience.” he Government to-day indicated its intention to enforce its order mo- bilizing all striking rallway men sub- ject to military duty. Mobilization of strikers subject to military duty was begun thts morn- jing. ‘Yo-day's official communication on the situation, issuel by Yves Le Trocquer, Minister of Public Works, says: “On the Northern System the situ- ation is unchanged, with a complete On the Eastern the personnel is holding out well and the return of men to work ts permitting an in- creased service. On the Paris-Lyons- Mediterranean there has been a per- ceptible amelioration, forty-six trains boing in service, The company is able to announce to the public the hours of the departure of trains. On the Or- leans system, despite efforts to have the strike order obeyed, 12 ty 14 trains have left for Paris and fvod trains are assured. “On the State System the strike is affecting Saintes, La Rochelle and Rochefort. The suburban service is improving and is at present 30 per cent. of normal. The order for mobilization has re- sulted in the resgonse of 60 per cent, of the men called up, accdrding to officials, and this response is dectared by Premier Millerand to be entirely satisfactory in view of the consider- able length of time required for the service of the mobilization notices, The General Federation of Labor, which has assumed the direction of the strike, to-day announced that it hag refused to allow the strike called in symputhy with the railway men to be extended, The federation will extend its moral support only. The strike situation remained stationary to-day’ The city’s food supply, Gov- ernment officials said, was assured Pretects in ail the larger cities in the strike areas have ‘been ordered {to commandeer automobiles und other Means of transportation.

For four hours the passengers waited in seven lifeboats near the steamship until ‘the tug Roebling picked them up. Blankets were them warm, as many had failed to wear anything but their nightclothes on leaving the ship. Tea was lowered from the Bohemian by a rope. Snow and cold added to the discomfort of the passengers and some of them had to assist the sailors at the oars in Bohemian, to which they were tied, ‘Women and ‘abies constituted a large part of the passengers and they were put into the lifeboats first. When the Roebling arrived at Hali- fax all were in a merry mood and tn- clined to regard their experience as a lark. The men said the behavior of the women was splendid and all de- clared there ‘had ‘been no panic. The steamer, bound for Liverpool from Boston, is in a precarious con- dition, with a number of tugs stand- ing by. The 120 members of the crew are believed to be on board. ‘The first word of the steamer’s plight came in a radio message to C. H. Har- vey of the Marine Department Agency at 3.30 o'clock this morning. It stated that the ship was ashore off Sambro Light and in immediate need of as- sistance. The Government steamer Montcalm and several tugs were or- dered to the scene, In response to a request for further details the cap- tain of the Bohemian reported that the steamer was pounding on the rocks and that he wanted the passengers and crew taken off. ‘The British steamer Maplemore sighted the Bohemian’s distress sig- nals before dawn, It was advised lo stand by until daybreak before at- tempting to take off the passengers, but later the captain of the Bohem- ian sent word that tugs from Hali fax had arrived and that he would transfer his passengers » them, All of the passengers had been takea of at 8.30 o'clock. Later reports suki there was water in three holds of the steamer but that she could be floated if calm weather continued, Among the passengers were M. R Regers and Mrs, Eliza Rogers of New York City.

Fallon, of the firm of Fal- lon and MoGee. Assistant District Attorney Dooling said this afternoon that he had re- ceived a message from Fallon that the lawyer was in receipt of word from Bugene F. Meee, his partner, sent to fetch Arnstein back to New York, ewying that McGee had been unable to get in touch with the mies- ing man. McGee, according to Fallon’s mes- sage, had however, seen and talked with an agent of Arnstein and had advised Arnstein to come to this city and surrender himself, Fallon added he expects Arnstein here to-morrow morning. The District Attorney's office to- day made public the primary reason why it is seeking Arnstein, Accord- ing to this information, that Arnstein was a Gondorf wire tapping gang” and that when that gang was broken up he kept in his possession the list of 'wires,” or spies, which Gondorf had seattered through the country in banks, trust companies and clubs, to “tip” him to the “boobs” on their way to visit this city. It is believed Arn- stein used these “wires” to dispose of the stolen securities, ‘The district attorney is anxious to set that list as well as the names of the men to whom Arnstein is alleged to have turned over quantities of the bonds for sale Joseph Topper, representative of the New Amsterdam Surety Company, “approached” this morning regarding the $100,000 ball which is to be asked for Arnstein, and had been informed that the missing man would not be here until to-mor- row morning. He declined to give any further information, ‘The authorities now are sgeking said to be even more important in the case than Arnstein. ‘This “mystery man," a globe trotter of “engaging personality,” is sald to have fled the State with a girl art student, whose parents are almost prostrated through fear the family name will be dragged into the bond conspiracy. ‘The police do not believe she knew anything about the man’s |true character.
