The action ended temporarily the discussion which has covered every feature of the Treaty controversy since the extra session convened, but it generally was predicted that other speeches on tho subject would be heard next week and from time to time thereafter until the Treaty itself is disposed of. There still remains in the Senate hoppper a resolution by Senator Sherman, Republican, of Illinois, declaring it the sense of the Senate that the Covenant of the League of Nations should be submitted separately from the Peace Treaty for ratification. With tho other two resolutions out of the way, Senator Sherman may call up his.

While the meeting did not vote for an immediate strike, it was decided to make preparations for a cessation of work. A resolution adopted by the railroad mon nrlvnca ted the stoppage of troop and munition trains in order to pre vent the government from taking steps against strikes and the people.

MIDWOOD RENT PROFITEERS, 2 SAY Increases of $20 to $30 Per Month on Each of 20 Apartments Said to Be Charged.

Nathan Hirsch, of the Mayor's Committee on Rent Profiteering, received two complaints against the Midwout Holding Company, 56 Liberty st Manhattan, today, of what the writers deemed extortionate raises in rents. George F. Daggett, employed by the Public Service Com-misison, living in the Klrkmcan Apartment house at 650 E. 21st Brooklyn, said that the Midwout Company, which took possession of the house two months ago, jumped his rent to $1 per room. Ho was asked to sign a lease at once, or his rent would be raised to $16 per room.

He said the present increases are between $20 and $0 a month on eaen apartment, of which thero are 20 In the house. "I do not ask for assistance or sympathy, but presume the record of profiteering in the Kirkmcan rentals may be of interest to you," Mr. Daggett concluded. W. I.

Coulson, living in the same house, said his rent had been raised from $55 to $57.50 in 1918. which was only fair. The Midwout Company, he said, had notified him that his rent beginning October 1 would be $80 for his five-room apartment, and "kept threatening me daily by telephone that if I would not sign they would advance it to $85." A prominent builder today consulted Mr. Hirsch by letttcr as to his opinion concerning reasonable raises in rents. He said he owned an apartment house, and was obliged to increase rents, but wished to do so without being regarded as a profiteer.

He said he would be influenced to a great extent by a reply to the following queries: "What percentage on his equity should an owner receive? Is ft considered profiteering to add an additional percentage in order to make up for the losses in thj June 11 Fixed for Coast Strike Unless Demands Are Met. New Orleans, June 7 Cable and linemen of the Cumberland Telephone Telegraph Company and the West ern Union Telegraph Company, members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers of the World, went on strike today in sympathy Western Union employees affiliated with the Commercial Telegraphers L'nion. Union official claimed 179 men failed to report for work. Union officials said the entire Cumberland force and fifteen Western Union linemen were out. T.

Barton Baird, district manager of the Cumberland, saiu' he was not prepared to say whether union statements were acourate, while William "Porteous, manager of the local West ern Union branch, said ten linemen employed by the company failed to report. Counter claims by union and company officials continued to be made today as to the effect of tho C. T. U. A.

strike on the Western Union. The company reported a sufficiency of operators, while union officials said the number of strikers was Increasing. Coast Strike Juno II If Demands Arc Not Met. San Francisco, June 7 A strike, of commercial telegraphers who are members of the union throughout Pacific Coast States is to be called Juno 11 unless demands made upon employers are complied with, according to a message received early today by Patrick O'Connor, president of tho local organization of the Commercial Telegraphers Union of America, The telegram was signed by L. I.

Marshall of Los Angeles, who was vice president of tho organization. It reads as follows: I "Unless all telegraph officials vield to demands of the workers by June 11, telegraphers and other telegraph workers as well, as their sympathizers, will be asked to vacate their respective offices. "This announcement embraces the Western Union, Postal and Federal Telegraph Companies on the Coast, thereby cutting off communication so far os commercial business is concerned with Coast and Eastern points. "This fight will be to a finish. Every worker is requested to obtain outside employment wherever possible and assist in every conceivable manner in making the strike a success.

"Exact time will be announced later." Mr. Marshall stated that the cities effected included all west of Denver, from Montana points to El Paso, Texas. "I sent telegrams of notification to union officials in the cities affected," Mr. Marshall said. "I acted upon instructions from S.

J. Konenkamp, president of the organization. "The move has been contemplated for some time and is not the result of the Atlanta strike alone. We have been unable to reach a satisfactory agreement with Postmaster General Burleson. Among other things we do-sire higher wages." Konenkamp to Call Nation-Wide Strike.

Washington, June 7 President fc. U. Konenkamp of tho Commercial Telegraphers Union of America, who today is en route to Chicago, announced before his departure last night that he would call a nationwide strike of union telegraphers upon his arrival in Chicago late toda. The strike Is proposed in support of the Western Union Telegraph Company's employees in ten Southern States, who went on strike Thursday night. Until ho reached Chicago.

Mr. Konenkamp stated, it would not be decided whether the spread of the strike would bo confined to the Western Union, or include tho Postal Telegraph Cable Company. He also said the date of the proposed strike also had not been determined. Western Union officials claim that of the 40.000 employees of the company eligible to join the Telegraphers Union only 710 were members, and expressed belief that a strike would not seriously impair the service. Postoftlce Department officials are not concerned in the threatened walkout, aa the order of Postmaster General Burleson in returning operating control of tho wires to their former owners puts the burden of combatting the strike on the companies.

Preliminary reports to Postmaster General Burleson from tors at Atlanta say that evidence thus I far obtained does not show that the Postmaster General's order prohibiting telephone and telegraph companies from dismissing employees because of union affiliations has been violated. Kcscind Strike Orders In Atlanta. June 7 Orders calling out the union telephone operators at Columbia and 'her points in North and South Carolina today, in connection with the Btrike of telephone and telegraph workers in the Southeast, Jtave been rescinded. This was announced today by C. F.

Mnnn, Southern organizer for tho Commercial Telegraphers Union of America. Interest centered today in the announcement in Washington by S. U. Konenkamp that he would call a nation-wide strike. Both leaders of tho strikers and officials of the company continued to Issue contradictory statements concerning the number of men who quit work Thursday night and yesterday.

H. C. Worthan, General Manager of the Southern Division, said the company was carrying on an uninterrupted service and that the latest survey of his district showed only a total of 288 employees on strike, 160 of whom were out in Atlanta, Outside of Atlanta the largest number on strike was at Charleston, S. where 17 out of a normal forre of 23 had quit Reports from New Orleans, which is in fho company's Texas division, raid 68 men were out there. Union leaders placed the New Orleans strike list at a totl of iss.

Charles F. Mnnn, representing the telegraphers, said reports to union headquarters showed 3.000 men in all sections of tho Southeastern District had responded to tho strike call. For the strikers, the situation todiy apparently had developed Into a wuit pending the outcome of tho countrywide walkout Evidence Not Sufficient to Hold Marriage License Bureau Clerk. Thomas "Moore," identified as Thomas Maher, clerk in the Marriage License Bureau, who was arrested some time ago charged with having taken bets on the races in the liquor saloon at 465 Fulton was discharged from custody in the Adams Street Court today by Magistrate Walsh. Tlie dismissal of the case was the result of an opinion filed by Magistrate Reynolds granting a motion to have the complaint thrown out of court as insufficient to prove the crime charged.

Maher was arrested by Patrolmen Wagner and Powers of Inspector Coleman's staff, who swore that they had heard him receiving bets from certain people on the afternoon of May 10 In the liquor store at the number given. When the case came before Magistrate Reynolds for a hearing the defendant's lawyer, Abraham Kessel-man, moved for its dismissal on the ground that no offense against the law had been shown in the allegations made by Wagner and Powers in their affidavits. A representative of the District Attorney's office opposed the motion, and both sides submitted briefs to the Magistrate in support of their contentions. Magistrate Reynolds is at present out of town, but he sent Magistrate Walsh a copy of his opinion In the matter and the announcement that he found no evidence in the information laid before him to constitute a misdemeanor aa charged. The Magistrate then dismissed the case, and Maher and Powers left the court together, apparently the best of friends.

The District Attorney's office was not represented by any member of the staff in court. Deputy Assistant District Attorney Arthur Wcrthor stated at the prosecutor's office that he had submitted a brief to the Magistrate. "It is a case of tho ordinary kind and the personal appearance of a member of the staff is not necessary and not customary when a brief is submitted and is sufficient." The Court's Opinion. The Court's opinion follows In part: "I think the learned coounsei for the defendant is in error in stating in his brief that the defendant in this case is charged with the crime of as that term is applied to horse racing. Such is not the case.

A careful reading of the facts set forth in the information, and, indeed, the formal charge therein, alleges and charges a vlolution of Section 986 of the Penal in that the defendant accepted bets and wagers upon the result of horse racing taking place at different cities in tho United Stales on that day (May 10). "It is necessary that the precise charge be stated in order that the law may be intelligently applied, for Section 986 of the Penal Law enumerates many other offenses besides bookmaking, some twenty-five or more "We have here tho facts showing nothing more than the receiving of three private bets while the defendant was standing in a saloon conducted by another. It was simply taking the money, unaccompanied by tho usual acts ordinarily set forth in these cases. There was no writing, no memorandum, no charge that the defendant was in control tf the place or that he was a professional gambler, nor was there a charge that the defendant 'engaged' in such continuity of acts as would make professionalism reasonably Inferable. It is true that in the first bet made with the defendant the information alleges that the money was accompanied by 'a slip of but so far as we arc permitted to conclude, the paper contained no writing or memorandum.

"Justice Scuddcr. in the case of the People ex rel. Shane vs. Gittens, where the information charged that the bets were 'privately' made, held that bookmaking was something more than private betting and placed the bookmaker and the common gambler In the same class so far as continuity of practice was concerned. (78 7, affirmed 155 App.

921). while Justice Bartlett, in People vs. Bright, held that the words of the statute 'who engages' were significant and meant something more than occasional participation. 'It said the learned Justice, 'some continuity of practice just as the epithet 'common' implies that common gambler is a person who customarily or habitually or frequently carries on the gambling practices which are denounced by the statutes. (People vs.

Bright, 203 N. 73.) "The Information in the case at bar charges 'that the defendant became the custodian of certain moneys, in the premises. No. 465 Fulton st. Bor ough of Brooklyn, staked and wagered upon tne results ot trials of speed or endurance between race horses, in violation of Section 986 of the Penal Premises Not His.

"But It was not a violation for this defendant to become such custodian, as he was not the 'owner, lessee or occupant' of the premises in which he stood, and it is to this class of persons only that the section refers in prohibiting such custodianship. "We have then the simple act of defendant making a privato bet which, while not lawful, has never been made a crime except In prizefighting. "Thevlatest case upon this question of which I am aware, is the People vs. McDonald. 177 App.

806. Mr. Justice Blackmar, in delivering the opinion ot tne (Jourt saifl: Betting in Itself, although not lawful, has never, except In the Instance of betting on a prize flght, been made a crime. But public and professional gambling which Is believed to be productive of the greatest demoralizing effect on society, has been made tbe BUbject of criminal enactment. Such Is Section MS of the Penal I.aw.

(See also People ex rel. Shane va Gittens. 7 7.) "Mr. Justice Scudder, In the Shane case, used these words: The legislature has made It a crimo to bet on prize fights. It can make tt a crime to bet on horse races.

It has not done so, and the court is powerless to do so. 1 hold that the efftslature In Inserting. In 1911. In Section USH nf the Penal I.hic. after the word "bnokrpakltiff" the words "with or without writing," did not Intend to make betting a crime, but did Intend to lal with that form of professional gambling known as book-making.

"For the reasons herein set forth. I must hold that the facts stated in the Information do not constitute a crime and the defendant's motion to dismiss is granted." Landmark at Flatbush and I Church Aves. to Be Used for Stores Midwood Associates Buyers. Another famous Flatbush landmark, the Zabriskie property, at the northwest corner of Flatbush and Church situated In the busiest neighborhood of that thoroughfare, will soon respond to the demands of business expansion along the avenue and give way to modern business structures and homes. The plot has a frontage of 137 feet on Flatbush ave.

and 137 feet at the rear, on Kenmore and extends along Church ave. for a depth of 284 feet The property has been purchased from tho Zabriskie estate by the Mid-wood Associates, prominent building operators in the Flatbush section, which signed contracts for the purchase of the plot in the office of the John Reis Company, 805 Flatbush today. The broker In the transaction was tho Cruikshank Company and Miss Louise G. Zabriskio represented the estate in the transfer of the property. The Midwood Associates, which will conduct the building operation, completed plans today for the new structures, which will be started following the demolition of the Zabriskie homestead, which sets back from the street at the corner of Flatbush and Church aves.

It was built in 1877 on the site of tho original residence erected in 1756 by dacsob Lefferts, who sold the property to the Zabriskie family. It was from the veranda of the first homestead that Gen. George Washington reviewed the American army Just previous to the Battle of Long Island, in the War of the Revolution. i To commemorate the event a tree was planted at the spot where the General stood. The story of the Zabriskie property and the two houses which have been situated on It reads like a most fascinating historical novel.

The original dwelling, one of old Colonial style, and which was demolished in 1877, antedates back to the old Striker house, which was on the opposite corner of Flatbush and Church and bora the construction date of 1696. During the Revolutionary War the house was the scene of many Important meetings and conferences. Shortly before the Battle of Long Island the house wis sacked and robbed by tho British. The attack was unexpected and Jacob Lefferts and his family, who then occupied it, received warning In time only to htde their silverware and valuables at the bottom of the old well before fleeing to a place of safety. Most of the brick used in the con struction of the original dwelling was brought direct from Holland and the Zabriskie family are at present proud possessors of three of the original bricks.

The property has been in the hands of that family for more than a century and a half, having come Into their possession through Jacob Let- ferts In 1761. The house now standing on the corner of Church and Flatbush while having no special historical associations, dates back to the days of large rooms, high ceilings and inside blinds, which make it somewhat of a curiosity to the present generation. Six buildings with stores on the ground floor and apartments above are planned for the Flatbush ave. frontage and three detached dwellings are to be built on the Kenmore pi. side.

Some time ago it was rumored that the entire plot had been purchased by a prominent theatrical firm in Manhattan as a site tor a theater, but this story was subsequently denied by Miss Zabriskie. The Midwood Associates of which John Reis is president, stated today that negotiations tor the purchase of the property have been pending for some time. The importance of the" corner as a busi-ness center has long been recognized, and it was admitted that several offers at high figures have been presented by firms for the property. While the price paid for the plot was not divulged by the builders, they said it was held at somewhere in the neighborhood of $300,000, although some months ago real estate men understood an offer of $210,000 would take It The property is assessed by the city for the purpose of taxation 1 07.400, Including the buildings. Flatbush real estate brokers regard nit, property as the most valuable unimproved plot along the thoroughfare.

Portsmouth, Ohio.

A mass meeting of veterans, who opposo tho strike, will ho addressed by the Mayor today in Victoria Park, where the strike leaders havo been holding their demonstrations. Among the developments during the night In Western Canadian cities was a decision of delegates from all labor unions In Prince Rupert, British Columbia, against calling a general strike. Washington, June 7 Administration officials believe President Wilson's reply to the Senate resolution asking for the Peace Treaty with Germany will be that it is not compatible with the public interest to furnish the text at this time.

This belief was strengthened by dispatches today from Paris saying the American Peace Delegation apparently is firm in its decision not to authorize publication of the Treaty until it Is signed. Meanwhile preliminary preparations are being made for the investigation to be conducted by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee into statements that copies of the unpublished Treaty with Germany are in privato hands in this country. The inquiry, authorized by a Senate resolution adopted yesterday, may take a wide scope. It is not expected that definite plans will bo laid, however, until tho committeo meets to take up the subject Monday. Meantime the State Department was forwarding to President Wilson and Secretary Lansing at Paris, another resolution adopted by the Senate yesterday, asking for the complete text of the Treaty.

Both the resolutions, although they BOMBER OF PALMER HOME NOW 'PARTLY IDENTIFIED'-FLYNN Chief of Federal Investigators Now Probing Activities of Radicals in This City. William J.

W. W. members and Bolshevikl sympathizers. The police of the city have been co-operating with the officials of the Department of Justice and have placed important information at tbe disposal of the latter concerning recent movements of radicals. While it was said that no direct action by the authorities is contemplated today it was intimated that it might come at any time.

Following tho conference with police officials and Division Superintendent Offley, Chief Flynn said: "We do not expect to take any action today. There are a hundred leads to be traced out and these we are now following carefully. I am not shooting wtldfl We are making progress but cannot say when any definite action will be taken. "The police officials and the officials of the secret service are working in co-operation and are doing all they can to assist in running down bomb-throwers." Asked if the body of the man who placed the bomb at Attorney General Palmer's residence in. Washington had been identified.

Chief Flynn said: "Only partly identified. I am not satisfied with the identification. The body was so blown to bits that it is hard to piece parts of them together. However, we are working in every way we can to make the identification positive." Chief Flynn is expected to hold another conference with secret service officials this afternoon.

Paris, June 7 The American delegation to the Peace Conference is apparently firm In Its decision not to authorize the publication of the German Peace Treaty until it is signed, and not even to communicate the official text in its present form to the United States Senate. Virtually all the important commissions connected with the Peace Conference were in session today. The activity was due to the directions issued yesterday by tho Conference leaders that the work of the body should be speeded up as far as possible.

Tho commissions which held sessions included those on ports and waterways, responsibilities, Belgium and Alsace-Lorraine.

According to the French morning newspapers, the Count's visit is con nected rather with events in the Rhineland (where conditions are unsettled, through the recent proclama-ion of the Rhinclund Republic) than with the Peace Conference.

It is the German plenipotentiary will confer at Cologne with Cardinal von Hartmann, the Archbishop of Cologne. The majority of the Paris newspa. pcrs comment adversely today upon the proposition considered yesterday by the Council of Four for the taking of a plebiscite in Upper Silesia to decide upon union with Germany or Poland. They argue that as the district is still under German administration, there would be no adequate guarantee of an impartial decision. It is declared that the Council was deeply impressed by the argument on this subject presented by Premier Padcrcwski of Poland.

Germany cannot pay and the Kntente cannot make Germany pay. You can invade Germany and occupy the Ruhr Basin, and nobody will stand in your way if you wish to come to Berlin. 'But when you are there what are you going to do? "Your only hope of reparation lies in getting the German people to work producing goods which they can give tho Allies against money indemnity, but first they must have food and then raw materials. You must make terms wrich will enable you to get your reparations reasonably soon. You do not suppose that our children are going to remain slaves because their parents lost the war." Dr.

Dernburg. elsewhere in the Interview, speaks derisively of President Wilson. "I thought he came over here as a new sort of redeemer, in the role of a saviour of mankind," the Finance Minister is quoted as saying, "but I have not found in the Peace Treaty one word of his peace of conciliation and good will."
