Trafic from Jersey was largely diverted to the tubes. The Erie Rail- road stopped its Jersey City to 23d Street, Manhattan, ferry service, but kept open the Chambers Street line, West Shore Railroad ferries from Weehawken to Cortlandt Street were running twenty minutes behind sched- ule, Long Island and New York Central Ratlroad commutation traffic was also late, engineers being unable to see signals until they were upon them, ‘and consequently going at a cautious rate. s Elevated trains were also slowed dowd, especially express t~ains, which went eo slowly that passengers de- sorted these trains for locals or for the subway at 42d Street on the Third Avenue line and at 66th Street on the {Sixth and Ninth Avenue lines. At 11.80 o'clock the fog began to life and many ships, which had been delayed, began to come up the bay. The Bay was in a bedlum of bells and whistles.

Every car in the city corre- sponging to the description has been traced, One cay is said to be owned ‘y a man who has @ police record, but there does not appear to be any evidence against him to connect him with the robbery. Reports that a man suspected of participation in the hold-up is in jail in Schenectady were denied to-day by Inspector Cochran. ‘The postal authorities think the- bandits re- mained right here in New York City to arrange for disposing of the jew- elry and other negotiable plunder.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—“The only good bootlegger is a dead bootlegger,” ja the startling headline in an articie in the World Digest of Reform News, issued by the Methodist Board of Temperance. Clamoring for law en- forcement for Prohibition, the World Digest asserts: “On several occasions recently Pro- hibition and police officers in the dis- charge of their duty bave been fired upon by bootleggera, Unfortunately some of these belligerent bootleggers have been taken and iodged in jail; they should have been lodged five feet under ground.” In describing a recent arrest The World Digest says: “Both bootleggers leaped from the car with drawn revolvers; neverthe- Jess, the officers took them alive,” In black face type the article goes on: “Thie is not good policy, Such In- cidents ahould be dealt with accord~ ing to the code of the Texas Ranger. We would be the last to advocate the unwarranted use of weapons by of- ficers, but # bootlegger is worth a lot more to the country dead than alive.” peal Atle DAGGER AND SKULL IN HERRICK LETTER Drawn in First of Real Old-Fash- ioned Black Harid Threats the Ambassador Has Received.

Such a letter came in this morning, however, a large, well drawn hand, filled in with ink, oo- cupying most of the sheet. At the upper lefthand corner a skull and crossbones had been outlined, with the word “Justice” underneath, while in the righthand corner a long dagger was depicted. The letter had been posted at Grenoble. “Justice for Sacco and Vangetti or death to Americans” was written at the bottom of the sheet. pS RF SMOKE IN SUBWAY CAR COSTS THEM $5 EACH Pair Fight Guards and Police After Large Time at Coney.

Vioe President Coolidge, In his ad- dress to the Legion, said that nothing is closer to the heart of President Harding than to make the relief for incapacitated war veterans abso- lutely complete; no man not in the service has a deeper appreciation of what that service meant, of the sac- rifices made by the veterans, of the obligations incurred by the country, and no man will go further to min- ister to the true welfare of those who have been in the service and their dependents than the President. The Vice President reviewed what has been done so far toward relicv- ing the incapacitated veterans, paid high tribute to the yalor of America’s armed forces and declared the Legion represented a “new national con- sciousness.” He made a plea against sectional- ism, which he eaid nad been largely wiped out by the fusing forces of war, and predicted a great future in the Nation's life for the American Legion. “The opportunity to make this Na- tion one, the sacrifice which made this Nation one was of your day alone,” he said. “You,represent a new national consciousne&s. You rep- resent the consummation of those great forces, coming into action in the early days of this century, which not only made Ameriea more Ameri- can but made humanity more hu- mane, The hope of this Nation, which more than ever before corresponds to the hope of the world, lies in your power to mini to that spirit, to preserve that consciousness and to in- crease those forees, “In recognition of the solemn obli- gation to you and your countrymen of economy and peace, a conference of certain great powers, called on the imitiative of the President of the United States, is about to assemble in Washington.

LOUIG, Oct. 31—A great crowd gathered at the Union Station here to- day to greet Marshal Foch, Generalis- simo of the Allied Armies during the World War, who is en route to the Kaneas City convention accompanied by Gen. Pershing. They remained here just long enough to change trains. ON BOARD THE FOCH SPECIAL, Oct. $L.—Tumultuous greetings con- tinued to mark.the progress of Mar- shal Foch and bis party, who will reach Kansas City to-day. At every stopping place great crowds were again on hand to cheer the little French fighter. After leaving Washington yester- day the first stop was at Baltimore, where, owing to the hour, only a small crowd was at the station. At York, Pa,, the train stopped for wa- ter. More than 800 people crowded around the car containing the Mar- shal and Gen. Pershing. Harrisburg gave the two soldiers a greeting that seemed to come straight from the heart. Doughboys, sailors, civilians and hundreds of women turned out. Several women, wearers of the gold star, were visibly af- feote As the train pulled into Harrispurg a post of the American Legion, re ing their uniforms, lined up on each side of the train. A band played the Marseillaise as the train came to a stop, The Marshal, deeply affected, went to the platform and stood at salute. All along the line from Harrisburg to Altoona, the next stop, people were strung out waiting for the train to go by and for one look at the guest of the American Legion. At Gallitzen, a little coat mining town, the local band played the “Marseillaise,” while two members of the Legion waved the colors of France and America. The Marshal smiled and saluted. Barney Flood, well known New York detective, who is making the trip, is acting in a dual capacity. He represents 2,000 New York policemen, members of the Lafayette Post of the Legion, and has also been requested by the French Government to look out for the Marshal, 9134.800 Verdict Against Coal Bx- port A jury before Justice Brown to-day awarded a verdict of $144,890 to Magnus N.

(Continued From First Page.) Paris failed to do toward construct- ing the world the Washington Con- ference will attempt, The viewpoint at Paris was to vet peace established quickly. The pas- sion of haste has disappeared. All the nations and more quiet atmosphere. Che meeting was called to limit armament and talk over Far Bastern questions, but the mission of the Washingtoo Conference is one of healing. It t& to be a conference’ of reconstruction out of which should come not merely an understanding as to the size of armies ahd navies but a better spit toward the preservation of peace and a readjustment or financial burdens 80 that world trade may be revived and the wheels of industry may hum once more. For no matter which way one turns, the problems with which the world is struggling seem to have @ definite relationship to one another, France resents the talk that she is matntain- ing a large standing army merely be- cause her officers want jobs and her militaristic spirit 1s on edge. She says she keeps that army because nobody else will offer an army to pro- tect her against a German invasion. But the Germans are disarmed, yob will say. To that France answers: “Germany has not yet paid her war bill.” Ask the man on the street in France and he will remind you of the millions that are dead and the millions that live on, maimed and crippled, and he will ask what your plan is to insure against another in- vasion or what your idea of how the German shall be forced to pay his bill. Turn over to England. The man on the street there knows the Brit- ish fleet saved him from death. Ex- cept for that fleet the food supply of England would have gone to the bot- tam at the whim of the submarine. Twice in a century the fleet has saved the Briton. He hates to part with it —and will not lightly agree to stop building. POWERS WON'T ALLOW CHINA TO BE DESPOILED. Then look at Japan. Millions and millions of people squeezed together on a few islands, struggling for an outlet, They look toward China with {ts wealthy resources. Who shall stand in the way of their develop- ment? But the big _ powers—the United States, Great Britain, Italy, France and the rest—refuse to allow China to be despoiled. The overseas trade of each country cannot be jeopardized by allowing Japan a mo- nopoly in the Far East. The man on the street in Great Britain, France and Japan makes public opinion, Collectively his pow- er talks. Would the man on the street in the United States go to war with Japan to save China? Presi- dent Roosevelt once told the German Ambassador he didn't think so. The Far Fast is too far away. But why should America carry the burden alone? All Far Eastern problems heretofore have been settled by a coalition of powers—nothing po for- mal as an alliance, bat an effective combination of countries having vital interests to protect. The object of the coming confer- ence, therefore, is to draw up rules and regulatiéns for the behavior of all nations in the Far Bast—an effort to establish equality of commercial opportunity. Indeed, it goes deeper than that. Sources of friction must be removed, otherwise there'll be a war in the Far East in the next deo- ade. And America has had one les- son in how she can be drawn into a maelstrom from which at first she seemed to be thousands of miles dis- tant. But aside from Far Eastern ques- tions,*comes a larger matter—bring- ing the nations of Europe and Amer- ica into some kind of am understand- ing about the future. Shall the reparation question be allowed to drift, with France keeping a big army to enforce her wish? America wants Burope to pay back the $10,000,000,- 000 lent during the war. It can’t be paid until Germany begins paying England and France. ‘The United States has a material interest in seeing Germany make good her pledges. Assuming the good faith of Germany, she will not be restored by a policy of starvation and stran- gulation. England told France that. only to arouse the ire of the French In this America stands close to the British view. You can't make a man staggering under a load carry it bet- ter bv whioping him too. INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION 1g AIM OF HARDING. The United States wants to help. ‘Woodrow Wilson proposed one for- mula—the League of Nations, It was rejected by the American Senate as being too intricate. Warren Harding has proposed another formula—inter- national co-operation. He doesn't think a rigid institution like the League of Nations {s essential, though he believes the present League is go- ing to be of immense help in keeping the European nations together, He hopes it will live for that purpose and succeed, even though he is unwilling at present to favor American mem- bership. But just the same, international co- operation, not isolation, is the funda- mental in President Harding's policy And at the Washington Conference America will come back Into the fam- ily of Allied and Associated Powers and take up anew the thread of Bu- ropean questions which do affect America’s economic welfare, Repara- tions, balanced budgets, payment of war debts, refinancing of war loans, readjustment of the whole financial situation these and ways and means] hy of bringing nations into periodic con- ference hereafter, either through the Supreme Council or informal meet- ings of Foreign Ministers and Ambas- sadors, are to be talked over in an effort to make a healing peace.
