John Graf, 46, of 7th st. and New York Springfield, is today in a a dying condition in Mary Immaculate Hospital, Jamaica, suffering from a severe gunshot wound in the abdomen. Graf was picked up at an early hour this morning before the restdence of his neighbor, William Battersby. Battersby, who is 65, next is under arrest pending an investigation of the shooting.

Graf, Battersby and Battersby's 20- year-old daughter Ethel, each tell a different story of the affair which may cost Graf his life. At the hospital this morning it was stated that Graf would not live through the day. Battersby was taken to the hospital this morning, where Graf identified Airco According as the to. man Graf's who story, had shot he, him. with Battersby and his daughter, had been visiting a common friend in field last evening.

The daughter, escorted left before Battersby it, and stopped on the way home to get some ice cream. When they reached the Battersby residence, aBttersby was on the steps. Graf claimed that he was furious for their delay, and before asking for an explanation, fired at him with a .22 caliber rifle. He fell back upon the street and remembered nothing more. no Battersby tells quite another story.

He claims that he reached home to find his daughter already there. He said he heard noises downstairs and going down saw a flashlight flickering in the front room. He seized his gun and fired at what he thought was a The figure, Battersby declares, fled through the window and believing that he had successfully frightened away the intruder, he went back to bed. He explained that he did not go outside to investigate further because he has a cork leg. Ethel Battersby gave a third version of the shooting.

Her story coincided with Graf's up to the ice cream episode. After that she states that Graf became unduly familiar with her. When she reported this to her father, the latter fired at Graf. According to the police, Battersby, in 1911, shot a young man by the name of William Johnson at a dance hall in the Cedar Manor section. He was later acquitted.

CONFESSIONS BARRED AT BASEBALL TRIAL Cicotte, Jackson and Williams Statements Ruled Out. Chicago, July 18-The defense in the baseball scandal trial won its first this morning when Judge Hugo Friend ruled the State cannot refer to statements of Eddie Cicotte, Joe Jackson and Claude Williams before the Grand Jury as "confessions." The statements, which were later repudiated by the former White Sox players, purported to reveal a plot to "throw" the 1919 World Series to Cincinnati. Judge Friend's decision may not, however, keep all references to "confessions" out of the trial. The three ball players made the same statements to Alfred Austrian, attorney for the White Sox, and to Chief Justice Charles McDonald before going before the Grand Jury, and Austrian and McDonald will be called by the State to relate what happened at those interviews. The State won a victory today when Judge Friend overruled a motion of the defense to dismiss the eleventh and twelfth counts of the indictment, which charge eight former members of the White Sox with conspiring to cheat and defraud the club, and Ray share of the World Series money.

3 50 ARE OVERCOME BY AMMONIA FUMES IN $1,000,000 FIRE Firemen Work in Relays in Manhattan Cheese Plant Blaze. Three Seriously Injured. About 56 firemen were overcome by ammonia fumes while fichting a fire this morning in the five-story building at 345 to 347 Greenwich Manhattan, occupied by the Phenis Cheese Company and stocked, according to the police, from top to bottom with merchandise. The total loss may reach $1,000,000. Three Bremen were taken to St.

Vincent's Hospital in a serious condition. The fire was described by Assistant Fire Chief Joseph B. Martin as ene of the most obstinate and difficult he has fought in years. The firemen fought the fire from the "1." structure in front of the building and service was ordered suspended for some time. The fumes and smoke were so pungent that firemen had to work continually in relays and a heavy pall also hung over the street, making breathing difficult for persons even distance away, At about 9:30 o'clock last night John McNamara, a foreman in charge of 11 men who worked last night because the firm, he said, is about 12 months behind in deliveries, noticed a pungent odor and, believing there was leak in one of the ammonia pipes, went to a refrigerating plant nearby, which supplies the ammonia, and requested that they discontinue the flow.

This was done. As the fumes did not subside, MeNamara later went to the firehouse of Engine Co. No. 27, nearby, and Lt. John V.

Stapleton and a number of his men went to the building to investigate, When the firemen reached the third floor they discovered a fire behind the icebox and, upon opening the door of the latter, they were met by dense volumes of smoke and ammonia fumes. Lt. Stapleton ordered his men to draw back and called a warning to the others in the building. When Lt. Stapleton reached the street again he discovered that three of his men were missing.

He then sent in a call for the rescue squad. Members of the squad found the three missing firemen lying unconscious in the icebox. Three alarms were then sounded. The smoke issuing from the building was 80 dense that many of those in the street at no time were able to see flames. The stopping of service on the elevated structure hampered many persons on their way to business on the 9th ave.

It would not surprise the tracers of these shipments if.

when Russia became too hot, Lenine and others high up in Moscow would move their base of operations to South America. With good-sized deposits scattered out the world they would be able to finance and direct propaganda quite as well as if they had stayed in Russia. Still another possibility is that this exported gold is for the use of the Third Internationale after its madeto-order break with Moscow. This, in view of the recent facts concerning the break, seems the more likely. Either way the plays shows a deal of shrewd foresight.

Either way it puts the soviets in a position to continue their campaign for world revolution.

They had money enough 10 travel to the coast. but not enough to make the round trip in conventional fashion.

J. COAST; MYSTERY SHIP SEEN Craft Connected With Vast Rum Traffic, Authorities Now Believe. Atlantic City, July 18-Pirate Saras and reports of mysterious ships seen lurking along the trade lanes of the be explained by North Atlantic may the discovery of runners" that have been landing valuable of contraband liquor on the Jergoes sey coast, in the opinion of revenue agents in this district. In maritime circles persistent stories have been told of strange vessels approaching merchantment on the open seas, as though prepared to attack, and then dashing off into the darkness without observing the inviolable rule of answering code signals. It was even suggested recently that these specter -like craft might be able to explain the disappearance of certain vessels.

What revenue agents believe to be the expianation of such unusual actions on the high seas was brought about through the seizure of whisky valued at $20,000 which is said to have been landed along a near Wildwood. N. from an alleged "mystery ship." Several days before the liquor was discovered and confiscated, an unknown steamer was seen maneuvering just outside of the three-mile limit off Wildwood. Revenue cutters were sent to watch it. The vessel disappeared but not before, officials think, it had discharged a cargo of whisky.

Prohibition officers declared today they are confident smuggling of intoxicants on this coast is being conducted on a tremendous scale. Cargoes worth vast fortunes are believed to have been brought from foreign countries, transferred to small beats at night and cached in unfrequented spots. It is thought probable that the "blockade runners" have also transferred their illegal cargoes to vessels bearing authoritative clearance papers. This, the officers say, would account for the strange actions of the "mystery ships." Their explanation is this: The captain of the liquor-laden vessel is instructed to meet another vessel, bound for an American port, at a given point along the coast, and transfer his liquor, which can then be landed with a legitimate cargo. When the reaches the rendezvous he approaches various vessels and, failing the proper signal, hurries off to prevent discovery.

"We have information to show that this wholesale smuggling is undertaken by scores of individuals," one revenue agent declared. "The Government is using a large number of fast motorboats for patrol duty, but the force would have to be quadrupled to attempt a real watch on this coast. "We have picked up entire rafts which show evidence of having been put overboard from ocean liners with a cargo of whisky. It would be impossible to make an arrest outside of the three-mile limit, even if we saw cargo transferred. It would require a whole fleet of patrol boats to thwart a landing under cover of darkness." OBITUARIES WILLIAM F.

BERLIN CAUTIOUS IN CONSIDERING TREATY WITH U.S.

Strict Secrecy Surrounds the Negotiations No Agreement Is in Sight. By Cable to The Brooklyn Eagle and Philadelphia Public Ledger: Copyright, 1921.) Berlin, July 18-Little headway has been made in the Peace Treaty discussions between Loring Dresel, the American Commissioner and Herr Rosen, the German Minister of Foreign Affairs in the last week. That is due to the extremely delicate nature of the negotiations and the desire on the part of the Germans for further enlightenment regarding the communication Mr. Dresel conveyed to Herr Rosen eight days ago. The German press and public are entirely ignorant of the negotiations now being carried on, and the stricta est secrecy is being maintained.

I have learned, however, the German Government is advancing very cautiously has not given an answer to the Washington suggestion, communicated through Mr. Dresel in giving informally the ideas of the American Administration regarding the course the negotiations should take, what matters should in general be embraced in a future treaty and leaving the way open for the German answer. Instead of replying, Herr Rosen requested a further explanation as to just what the original communication meant and discussed the question with Mr. Dresel at least once the latter part of the week. Other conversations may have taken place, but while my informant was reluctant to give out any information, he conceded that one meeting had been held since the suggestions originally were made.

Replying to the question as to what the German attitude would be, the official with whom I conversed said if the heads of the American Government are not agreed upon the exact form the treaty should take and what its contents should be, the members of his government naturally find themselves in the same predicament. As yet this matter has not gone beyond the Cabinet members, but it is not unlikely that the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Reichstag will receive a summons to commence a discussion of the subject during the present week. FARMERS INSPECT MARKETS OF CITY Representatives of Middlemen Accompany Them on Tour. About 50 Farm Bureau agents, representing all the agricultural counties in the State, conferred with F. S.

Welsh, agriculturalist of the New York Central Railroad, and R. W. Quackenbush, agricultural agent of the railroad, in the board of directors room in the Grand Central Terminal this morning, prior to starting out on a three-day tour to study the city's marketin condition. The object of the tour is to bring about a better understanding between farmer and middleman and aid the transportation companies in the handling of the food products. Representatives of the middlemen accompanied the farmers on the tour.

Before leaving the Grand Central the Farm Bureau agents were addressed by Vice President George Ingalls, in charge of passenger traffic of the New York Central, who told of the desire of the railroad to cement friendship between farmers and distributors and all others concerned. The importance of this conference lies in the fact that it is probably the first time that the grower of food products has had the opportunity not only of meeting the middleman on an equal footing and in a friendly spirit but of observing at first hand the method of handling his produce in the metropolis. A visit to the Wallabout Market was planned for this afternoon. HURT IN FALL FROM PONY. Martin J.

Following quarrel over his delayed breakfast, Rocco Pascale, 27. shot and mortally wounded his wife. Angelina, also 27, and then turned the weapon on himself in the bedroom of their home at 189 Bayard early today. He died instantly and his wife is in a dying condition at St.

Catharine's Hospital. Today was the seventh anniversary of the couple's wedding, according to Miss Margaret Amen, a sister of Mrs. Pascale. Miss Amen said that her sister and Pascale had not gotten along well together and quarrels had been frequent. They separated for a long time, but were reconciled about two months ago and had been living together ever since.

This morning neighbors heard them quarreling bitterly because Mrs. Pascale refused to get up and prepare breakfast. Suddenly there was a shot, followed a few moments 'later by another. Policeman Peterson and Detective Frederick Winderberg, of the Herbert st. station, who were passing, entered the Pascale house and found Mrs.

Pascale in bed, unconscious with a bullet wound back of her right ear. Pascale was dead on the floor. LENINE IS STAGING FAKE ROW BETWEEN REDS AND HIMSELF Continued from Page 1. will be moved to Berlin, Stockholm or possibly even to South America. Known for Months in Inner Circle.

To the uninitiated this will appear as just sO much more Bolshevist lunacy- -so much more evidence that the Reds do not know what they do want: so much more evidence of their inability to stick to any kind of a consistent policy, and as a suicidal schism within their ranks. But in "inner circles" the plan has been known understood for months. Briefly, and somewhat simplifiled, the situation is as follows: 1. In its trade treaties the Russian cease anti-British propaganda in InSoviet Government has bound a itself to dia, Asia Minor, and other places. Lenine knows that trade with Britain will cease unless these treaties are kept.

2. Lenine, however, is as determined to spread communism throughout the world as he ever was, though he has modified his ideas about the speed with which it may be done. 3. To carry out his plan, therefore, it becomes necessary to have a powerful propaganda agency entirely outside and separated from the Soviet Government. 4.

The Third Internationale, or union of the communist parties of the world, is the logical organ for this work. But if Moscow remains the headquarters of the Third Internationale and if the communist propaganda continues to originate Moscow, the Russian Soviet Government will be held responsible for it. Fake Quarrel Staged. 5. The obvious step, then, is to have a quarrel between the Third Internationale and the Russian Soviet Government, and have them separate, Third Internationale breaking away from Russia completely.

6. The Third Internationale, passing resolutions condemning the Russian Soviet Government ent for being too conservative, can. move to some non- Russian city and announce to all communist sympathizers that it, the Third Internationale, is now the only true fountain of communism. 7. The propaganda can go on in the East, led by Third Internationale chiefs.

If the British Government complains, Moscow can say: "We are I not doing it. We have broken with the Third Internationale on that very point. We wanted them to stop it and they quarreled with us. We have stopped our propaganda: but they refuse to stop theirs. We cannot control them.

This, according to as reliable a source as can be found, is the plan of the Moscow leaders. The Same Old Lenine. Lenine is as convinced a Communist as he ever was, and as determined as he ever was to force his theories upon the world. At the same time he believes that a change in tactics is necessary, and that Russia is no longer the strategic point from which to make his attack. He believes that Russia can be maintained as a Socialist State, but that certain unessential compromises must be made keep it so.

On the other hand, he is said to be ready in case of dire necessity to abandon Russia altogether and direct his attack upon capitalism from South America or from any other suitable foothold. It will be recalled that he was attacking capitalism from Switzerland before the Russian revolution. Now he has the Russian gold reserve distributed in banks throughout the world in sufficient quantity to finance agitation for years, even should communism collapse entirely in Russia. American agents claim to have traced more than $160,000,000 of the Soviet's reserve of $180.000,000 exported from Scandinavian countries within recent months. Most of this gold bore the Swedish mint mark, and neither American, nor European authorities competent to "gO behind" the mint mark of al friendly power.

This gold has been shipped in bars to many parts of the globe, especially DAWES TO TRIM $100,000,000 OFF FEDERAL BUDGET Continued from Page 1. exert moral pressure on the executive departments with a view to saving something out of the current appropriations, It is a sort of preliminary work-out for the departments in preparation for the first real budget, which will be submitted Congress next winter. That some saving will be made is a certainty, and if Gen. Dawes can reach the $100,000,000 mark he will consider the effort worth while. Some of the reasons why there will be a saving are: Why Savings Are Assured.

The 1922 budget scheme has the backing of President Harding. The bureau chiefs for the most part are afraid of Gen. Dawes and will try to make a saving. even though they do it reluctantly. The estimates on which current appropriations were based were made a year ago, since which time the cost of labor and materials has materially declined in many directions.

While Congress has allowed certain sums for the current year and the departments have a legal right to spend those sums, 110 bureau chief is expected to have the hardihood to go ahead and do it. if he knows the President wants him to spend less. He risks removal from his job if he stands in the way of Government economy drive, On the other hand, if a bureau chief says he needs every cent that Congress allowed and Gen. Dawes thinks otherwise, there will be an interesting situation should the bureau chief have the backing of Cabinet officer is his boss. It would then be a case for compromise or decision favoring either Gen.

Dawes or Cabinet officer. Postmaster General Hayes has already announced that he expects to save $15.000.000 out of the amount allowed by Congress for his department. Secretary Wallace expects to save $2.000.000 in the Department of Agriculture. These are the first open announcements of practical co-operation with Dawes that have come from Cabinet members. While the Post Office Department and the Department of Agriculture may make this saving.

it is doubted it some of the other departments will do as well. It is probable that in the War and Navy Departments, for instance, there will be the utmost reluctance on the part of the bureau chiefs to admit the possibility of saving anything. Both a the Army and Navy Appropriation bills were reduced by Congress far below the demands of the departments, and Secretaries Weeks and Denby made 8. fight for more money than they got. For General Dawes to obtain voluntary co-operation from those departments will require A big change In their attitude.

To Save 25 Percent on Budget. Out of his own allowance for running the Budget Bureau, Gen. Dawes has announced that he intends to save 25 percent. He held that up as mark for other bureaus and departments to attain, but there is no expectation that any of them will reach it. An average saving of 5 percent in all the departments would be considcred remarkable.

At the present time it looks more percent. Even if $100.000.000 is saved out of the regular appropriations, the prediction is made that it will be offset. by deficiency appropriations which will be demanded later. There is a prospect of a deficiency for almost (hat amount in soldier relief work alone. The preliminary Dawes budget, however, is counted upon to have an important moral effect on officials who are charged with making Government expenditures.

It will also serve to make them familiar with the ideas that Dawes proposes to put into practice in framing the first official budget. which will affect the fiscal year that begins July 1, 1922, When that budget comes, the bureau chiefs and department heads will not be "invited" to keep their expenses down. Their estimates will be subject to revision and reduction by Dawes himself, who will have the authority of Congress to do so. PVT. MERSCHOFF'S SERVICES Pvt.

Citing another reason for delay, the same writer says that a special Treasury Department report has been or- dered on certain financial aspects that already have been discussed, and adds that should any definite developments depend upon such a report, they must necessarily await its completion, which would consume considerable time.
