9 te ee 2s —_—_ @o far as the United States was con- corned. Administration officials declined Yo-day to comment on the communi. @ation, saying that it spoke for itauif, Nor would they indicate the consider @tions which caused ita dispatoh somewhat Unexpectedly at a late Dour jast oii. 1: was stated, bo ever, that action was taxen without Any communication having been ru celved from the Allied Supreme Council at Lundon. The State Vepartmeat has been “kept informed as to events in the Supreme Council and it had vecume evident that the German proposals Were unacceptabie as a basis for dis- cussion. That view had been taken by France and Belgium from the first. The United states apparently bus Rot yet given up hope that a final setticment will be reached by discus sion, thus avoiding cvercive muas ures which, in the view here, would be likely to be atieuced by economte Confusion. Officials will not say, however, whether the United State Will consent to sound out the Allied Governments with regard to further German proposals. It developed to-day that the copy of the American reply to Germany a8 given out at the State Department Jast night contained a phrase which had been deleted from the original @s sent to Germany, despatched to Berlin, the second sen- tence read: “Im reply to the German memoran- dum, this Government states that it finds itself unable to reach the con- clusion that the proposals afford a basis for discussion acceptable to the Allied Governments.” In thie copy made public there was added to this ®entence the phrase, “And that thes Proposals cannot be entertained.” The copy subsequently was cor- rected and Under Secretary Fletcher called at the White House to-day to assure the President that the phrase quoted above had not been inchided in the communication as despatched It was explained that the phrase was @ repetition in sense of what the note gaid otherwise and conscquently was deleted as unnecessary. In sending the reply last Secretary Hughes apparently acted somewhat unexpectedly. President Harding was at the theatre during) the evening and Under Secretary Fletcher called there to see him just] before 11 o'clock. Later he visited the White House and presumably inid the draft before the President, I wan approved and immediately afterward put on the cable, while coples of it were made available to the press. SIMONS EXPECTED NOW TO RESIGN Hughes's Refusal to Transmit Offer Likely to Force Out German Foreign Minister. BERLIN, May 3 — (Associated Press).—The note of Secretary of State Hughes to the German Yovern- ment, replying to the German coun- ter-proposals on reparations, was de- night livered to Dr. Simons, the Foreign Minister, at 11.30 o'clock thin taorning | by Loring Dresel, the American Commissioner here. Bellef was expressed in political Quarters here to-day that the refusal of the United States to deliver the German counter-roposals on repara- tons to the Entente would necessitate the resignation of @hancellor Febren- bach and Foreign Minister Simons. TOOKWIFETOSHOW AND HIS SHIP WAS CAUGHT IN A GALE pane ae Skipper of Runa’s Twelve- Hour Delay Cost His Em- ployers Over $35,000. Because the skipper of the good @hip Runa remained twelve hours tm port in order to take his wife to @ theatre the charter owners now find that they are liable to damages Of $35,301.95. ‘This came out when the Red Cross Line asked the Supreme Court for an order directing the Atlantic Fruit Company’ to submit to arbitration its demand for the above damages The Red Cross line secured from the Atlantic Fruit Co,, charter own- ers of the Norwegian steamship Runa, a lease of the vessel at $25,000 @ month. The lease was put through Nov. 29, 1919. On Dec. 6 that year, the Runa was ready to clear from New York to St, Johns, N. B. The captain, it was alleged, was ordered to make all speed on Dec. @ for the Canadian port He refused, accord- ing to the papers, and remained overnight, leaving the next day, De 7. His delay, the papers state, was caused by taking hia wife to a theat When the Kuna was sixty miles from St. Juhns, a gale blew up and the Captain put about in order t save iis vessel from sinking, He landed at the Azores.

Chairman Lockwood got inter- ested in the Collins statement of a ‘speech made by Alderman O'Rourke ‘against “outside meters,” “Did Alderman O'Rourke speak be- \ fore the roll call?" Senator Lockwood asked. “Yes, sit." “And you spoke, you have sald, on jthe roll call “Yes.” Alderman Collins joined in the laugh, saying: “That's a good point And it reminds me O'Rourke spoke before the roll was called.” “Oh,” said Mr. Untermyer, “don't | kill the point!” | “Em not trying to kill the point,” said Mr. Collins.

Do you mean to say that just | because a member of the minority | made a speech attacking the motives of the majority a meritorious measure would be killed? A. Well you know how it is, Mr. Untermyer, For in- stance, Mr. Allyn is a Jew-baiter, jWhen he gets up and makes one of those Jew-baiting speeches all the Jews on the majority go wild and you cannot control them, Then its |the same way when an Iriah baiter kets up.

Alderman Edward 8, Bostwick, Ite- ublican, had a recollection of the committee hearing like that of Al- derman Heckerman, He added that jat the conclusion of the Welfare | Committee hearing Alderman Collins suid to Sales Agent Cettl, “I think you are on the level and this meter is all right.
