WILLIS BLAMES SENATE FOR DELAY Says That Rules Should Be Changed to Muzzle “Recal- citrant Minority.” More than 1,000 members attended the forty-ffth annual dinndr of the American Paper and Pulp Association last night tn the Hotel Waldorf. WW. J. Raybold, President of the associn- tion, was tonstmaster. The speakers were Senator Willis of Ohio, and Ed- wari James Cattell. Statiatician for Philadelphia. Senator Willis, in his speech on “Business and Government,” blamed the Senate for the delay in passing the Tariff Bil, and said he had no doubt that the bill would be passed before Congress adjourned. “These delays,"’ he sald, “have brought to a head the fact that the time ts not far distant when Senate rule will have to be so amended to shut off debate by a recalcitrant mi- nority and enable the majority to pass Jaws that the people want,’* Of the proposed reduction tn the army and navy, Senator Willis sald: “I will not cast my vote to weaken the army and destroy the navy and leave the country practically exposed. Let us live up to the Arms Conference and seonre the 6-5-3 ratio and not by voluntary reduction admit that we were making a dluff at that time and cut it to what ie in fact a 2%-5-3 ratio.” Among those at the speakers’ table were; W. F. Brunner, Con- eressman Mott, L. M. Alexander, James Logan, Arthur Hastings, George W. Sisson jr., George A. Galliver, Charles N. Bicknell, Henry W. Stokes, Congressman Treadway, Edward F. Herrlinger, Arthur L. Pratt, Congressman Snell, Frank W. Fower, Louis Block, FP. T. Dome, A. W. Eaton, Grellet Collins, Frank L. Moore and A. B. Daniels. COTTON CONSUMPTION INCREASING RAPIDLY Only Strike in New England Prevented It From Approach- ing Record in March. WASHINGTON, April 14.—Almost 2,000,000 fewer cotton spindles were operated, although cotton consumption in March was about 46,000 bales more than in February, the monthly cotton report of the Census Bureau, {ssucd to-day, disclosed. Of this increase, 34,000 bales or 65 per cent. were con- sumed in cotton-growing States. The decrease in spindles reflects condi- tions in New, England, and officials here believe that if those conditions had been normal consumption for the month would have approached record proportions. Consumption tn March was 618,450 bales of lint and 44,177 bales of linters, compared with 438,218 of lint and 44,647 of linters consumed tn March, 1921, Cotton !n consuming establi; ments on March 81 amounted to 1,- 553,961 bales of lint and 185,289 of lint- ers compared with 1,836,542 of lintand 228,311 of linters a year ago, and in Public storage and at compresses, 3,765,804 bules of lint and 124,059 of linters, compared with 5,252,852 of nt and 296,445 of linters.

WASHINGTON, April 14.—"W came out holding them all along th. line." sald Wayne B. Wheeler, gen. eral counsel of the Anti-Saloor, League, commenting on the Republi. can primates in Minos. Answering the assertion that Rep renentatives Ireland and Copley haa been defeated by wet candidates, Mr. Wheeler conceded that the victor over Mr. Ireland was a wet but contended that Representative Copley lost to a ary. “We will have as many votes as we have now, if not one more,” Mr. Wheeler said. ‘The Congressmen- at-Large are dry and in Uncle Joe's district a dry was nominated.” Mr. Wheeler says opposition to Mr. Copley was along lines other than Prohibition, adding that it could oc- casion no surprise when the Peoria district, perhaps the largest distilling district in the country, nominated a wet candidate. He charged that the successful can- didate was backed by a puid organiza- tion, that {n somo of the precincts wil the automobiles available were used and that tlre was much advertising, whereas {n four of the counties rains kept the farmer vote at home. The similarity of explanations for the dry defeats tn Mlinois and the great reduction in the majority of Henry in the 37th District of New York, with a declared wet against him, is taken to indicate that a gen- eral policy has been adopted by the Antl-Saloon League spokeamen to be followed in all these untoward inci- dents, Where a dry wini attributable to the st it devotion of the voters to the cause of Pro- hibition, When a dry loses, it is be- cause the wots had a great cam- paign fund, the farmers were busy at plowing, or the roads bad, or the people were di: isfied with the Republican Administration (if the defeated dry happens to be a Re- publican). Nevertheless, the wets are fubt- lant over the results. The Anti- Prohibition Congressmen will not comment for publication, because of regard for their colleagues and a de- sire not to add to the sting of their political mishap, but they think they see a reaction against the Volstead act and a promise that the power of the Anti-Saloon League is waning. They take issue with Mr. Wheel- ere statement that Frank P.- Reid, who won over Mr. Copley, is a dry, as all the reports from the West put him In the other category, BOTH VICTORS IN TULINOIS CHAM- PIONED WET CAUSE, CHICAGO, April 14.—Two Con- gressiaen who made the primary race on the Hquor issue have been put away by the friends of J.

Advices to Mr. Wallace say Walker {s now in jail at Media on complaint of his wife. The Walkers were married twelve years ago. Troubles came in 1919, when, Mrs. Walker charges, Walker secreted their son from her. Then Walker took her Bellevue Hospital, telling her it was a day nursery. He had her committed to the psycopathic ward and later transferred to Central Islip Asylum, She was soon released. In February, 1921, Walker again had his wife before Magistrate Miller and had her committed to the Kings Coun- ty Hospital for observation. Justice Fawcett found Mre, Walker sane and dismissed Walker's action for @ separation. He then granted Mrs. Walker's application for sep- aration, allowing her $12 a week ali- mony and the custody of her son. When Mrs. Walker came upon her husband in Media she ton heres of her son and brought him to Long Is- and City with her yesterday. pica handle SON FINDS MOTHER DEAD IN BATH TUB Mrs. Berger of Orange Drowns, Blanket Thrown Over Her Head. With a heavy blanket thrown over her head, Mrs. Berger, forty, was found drowned in a bathtub in her home at No. 240 North Centre Street, Orange, N. J., last night, when her son, Louis Berger, returned from business. There was only eighteen inches of water in the tub, and ac- cording to County Physician Brien, who made an autopsy, Mrs, Berger had placed the heavy blanket over her head to keep it in the water. ‘The County Physician said she was dead three or four hours before her son discovered her body. Louis Berger said his mother had been under treatment for nervousness more than a year and had frequently sald she wanted to die. When he re- turned home last night from business, the gon said, he washed the dishes found on the table, thinking his mother had gone shopping, but after waiting an hour he became anxious about her and searched the house. The County Physician was not able to learn the present whereabouts of the woman's husband, he said ee MILK FIRM CONVICTED FOR 17TH TIME, FINED $500, A fine of $500, the severest penuity possible under the law, was imposed yerterday by Justices in Special Ses- sions upon the Raw Milk Company of Middle Village, Queens, following its pleading guilty to a charge of selling adulterated milk.

RESENTLY, through the trees, P I saw Fish House ali afire. I did not see a living crea- ture near, but further toward the east clearing I heard voices and the sound of picks and axes; and my Saguenay and I crept thither along the bank of the flooded hollow. It was ® war party, and it had ac- complished a clean job at Fish House; and now they all were com. ing down to the flooded hollow and looking across it where lay the short route west to Summer House. I touched Yellow Leaf on the arm, and we wriggled backward, out of sight. Then, rising, we turned and pulled foot for our canoe. Now my chiefest anxiety was whether Penelope and Nick had got clean away and were already well on road to the Mayfield Block House. It was not yet full dark when, over my shoulder, I saw a faint rose light in the north. Summer House was all afire, and the infernal light ‘-s-had us even here, painting our features and the paddle-blades, and staining the dark water with a prophecy of blood, tee long past midnight when 1 hailed the pickét at the grist-mill and drove our canoe shoreward into the light of a lifted lantern, “Is Nick Stoner in?’ I called out. “All safe!"’ replied somebody on shore. Even as he spoke I saw Nick come up the road with a torch, and called out to him, “Where -have you been, John Drogue?" said he, coming to me and laying a hand on my shoulder, “Is Penelope safe?” I asked. “She is as safe as are any here in Mayfield. Is it Summer House that burns in the north, or only the marsh hay?" “The whole place is afire,”’ sald I “A dozen green-coats, blue-eyed In- dians, and two real ones, burnt Fish House. After a silence I said: ‘Who com- mands here? I think we ought to move toward Johnstown this night. I don’t know how many green-coats have come to the Sacandaga, but It must have been another detachment that ts burning Fonda’s Bush."’ As I spoke a Continental Captain followed by a Lieutenant came up in the torchlight; and I gave him his salute and rendered an account of what had happened on the Drowned Lands. He seemed deeply disturbed but told me he had orders to defend the May- field Fort. He added, however, that if I must report at Johnstown he would give me a squad of musketmen as escort thither. said I, “‘my report should not be delayed. But I have Nick Stoner and an Indian, and ap- prehend no danger.” I told Penelope that we must travel this night to Johnstown, it being my duty to give an account of what had happened without delay. “There can be no danger to us on the road," said I, ‘‘but the thought of leaving you here in this fort disturbs ma “What would I do here alone?" she asked. “What will you do alone in Johns- town?" I inquired in turn, At the same time I realized that we both were utterly homeless, and that in Johnstown our shelter must be a tavern, or, if danger threatened, the fortified jail called Johnstown Fort. “You will not abandon me, will you, sir?” she asked, touching my sleeve with the pretty confidence of a child. “Why, no,*’ said I. ‘We can lodge at Jimmy Byrke's Tavern. And there is Nick to give us countenance—and a most respectable Indian."’ ‘Is it scandalous for me to go thither in your company?" “What else is there for us to do?" Then I helped Penelope into the wagon, got in myself and took the reins, Nick and the Saguenay vaulted into the box and lay down on our pile of furs and blankets. And so we drove out of the stock- ade and onto the Johnstown Road, Penelope in a wolf-robe beside me, and both her hands clasped around my left arm. “Are you a-chill?” I asked, “1 do not know what ails me,”’ she murmured, “but—the world is so vast and dark . . . and God is so tar— so fa BURKE'S TAVER?!. OW, whether it was the wetting I got on Mayfield Creek and the chill 1 took on the long night's journey to Johnstown, or if my thigh wound became inflamed from that day's exertion at Fish House, Summer House and Mayfield, I do not know for certain. But when at sunrise we drove up to Jimmy Burke's Tavern in Johns- town I discovered that I could not move my right leg and, to my morti- fication, Nick and my Indian were forced to make a swinging chair of their linked hands and carry me into the tavern, Penelope following for- lornly, her arms full of furs and blankets. Jimmy Burke was excited. “Ie it thrue, sor, that the destruc- tives are on the Sacandaga”” Yes, it is true.
