Great Britain, France, Italy and .Belgium will join in I nato to Germany demanding that plie must comply immediately with the disarmament stipulations of tho Treaty of Versailles, under threat of the rees'tabllshmcnt of the allied eco- nomic blockade. Tho note probably will bo sent before the Ban Remo con- ference of the allied Premiers assem- bles Monday. While tho note will not go as far as the French would have It bo, Inas- much as they would have it cover tho whole treaty, It will bo more compre- hensive than tho mero voicing of allied opposition to the return to power of the German reactionary elements. All the Allies are agreed on the com- plete disarmament of Germany, The German r&quest for a, three months' extension of tho tlmo limit for the re- duction of tier forces will bo refused. The treaty dsmanded this reduction by April 10. The French wanted the new ultimatum to cover the coal and economic clauses of the treaty. However, this question will bo left to the San Remo conference for discussion. For tho present the threat against Germany will be In con- nection with disarmament only. How- ever, there will be coupled with the threat the plain elatenunt \that 'the' Al- lies will not tolerate any reactionary Government In Germany. further, the note Is designed to show the Germans that the Allies continue to act lu accord.

By the Attoclatei Preti. Sxti Remo, Italy,\ April 17. Whether the United States will bo represented at the conferenco of the allied nations called to meet in San Remo was a question which had not been answered hero as the chief representatives, of the Powers gathered to-d- ay for the sessions which are to begin Monday. Premier Xlttl of Italy, who reached San Remo a day ahead of time to receive the delegation's of the allied nations as they arrived, expressed ignorance as to whether an American delegate or ob- server would attend. The conference will have as its an endeavor to settlo three or four of the great problems now dis- turbing Europe. One of these is what action shall be taken respecting the carrying out of the treaty of Versailles, .V) that it may be made plain to Ger- many that the Allies regard it as a binding instrument. Others are the de- termination of tho future of the Turkish Empire and the final framing of the Hungarian peace treaty. The Adriatic settlement is also a possible subject for consideration, while the international ex- change problem Is another likely to be considered. No definite programme for the taking, up of subjects pressing for solution has been arranged and the various subjects will be brought to the front, according, to the Judgment of the Premiers. Premier NItti was at the railway sta- tion before 9 o'clock this morning- to Camllle Barrere, the French Am- bassador to Italy. Premier Lloyd George f Great Britain and, Field Marshal Sir Henry Hughes Wilson, chief of the Brit- ish Imperial Army staff, arrived by automobile from Marseilles' with their taffa in time for luncheon.

BRITISH PREMIER IN MURDER CHARGE Lloyd George Accused of Causing MacCttrtain's Death. Cobk, Ireland, April 17. Charges of wilfua murder were brought against Premier Lloyd George to-d- in the ver- dict of the Jury in the inquest Into the death of Mayor MacCurtaln of this city, who was assassinated last monin. The verdict also charges Viscount French, Lord Lieutenant of, Ireland: Ian Mocpherson, former Chief Secretary, and several police Inspectors with mur- der. The text of the verdict reads: \W find that tho late Alderman Thomas MacCurtaln, Lord Mayor of Cork, died from shock and hemorrhage caused by bullet wounds; that he was wilfully murdered under circumstances of the most callous brutality: that the murder was organized ana camea oui by the Royal Irish Constabulary, offi- cially directed by the British Govern- ment, and we return a verdict of wilful murder against David Lloyd George, Prime Minister of England; Lord French, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland ; Ian Macpherson. late Chief Secretary far Ireland ; Acting Inspector General Smith of the Royal Irish Constabulary, Divis- ional Inspector Clayton of the Royal Irish Constabulary. District Inspector Swanzy and some unknown members of the Royal Irish Constabulary.\ That part of the verdict laying the crime to the hands of the police caused no surprise .here,, but few. thought, the nnnM en sn far as to charge the Premier.

POLICE STATION NEAR Other Thefts Come to Light Despite Silence of tho Detectives. Reports that burglars wero holding carnival in the fur district were sub- stantiated yesterday when it was learned that upward of $100,000 in lino pelts had been stolen from two estab- lishments early Friday morning, and news of numerous other thefts perpe- trated. In tho same neighborhood re- cently have been suppressed by the police. The largest of Friday's robberies, which was the talk of the wholesale fur market yesterday, was committed In the rooms ot Edgar Lehman, on the streot floor at 45 West Twenty-seven- th street. The loot Is said to have Included 1,600 mink skins, l.eoo Hudson seals and 0 stone martens, all .of a wholesale value of upward of $75,000. The other haul, which Is Relieved to have been made by the same gang, was from Dattelbaum-Brother- s of 130 West Twenty-nint- h street There between $29,000 and $30,000 worth of similar skins were stolen. Dattelbaum Brothers are on the block directly behind the West Thirtieth street police station. In the upper part of which are the offices of the detec- tives of the Third Inspection district Lehman's Is only a couple of blocks away and In the same precinct. In both robberies the methods em- ployed seem to have been the same, the kthleves having entered from tho rear by forcing a w:lndow. From tho bulk of the loot it la supposed they used a truck In carting It away. In each place tho thieves went over the goods apparently with great care, and showed excellent Judgment In mak- ing their selections. Several fur merchants said yesterday that the robberies in their district are usually followed within twenty-fou- r or forty-eig- hours by a visit from a rep- resentative of some pAvate detective agency, who will suggest retaining four or five operatives at a minimum of $10 a day each to trace the stolen furs and 'get them back.\ 'Whether the efforts to get the furs back over meet with any success could not be ascertained. In compliance with the rules laid down by the Mayor and .'he Police Commis- sioner, the police In the West Thirtieth street station, which has Jurisdiction of practically all of the wholesale fur dis- trict, refused to discuss these robberies yesterday or even to admit that they had heard of them. Detectives of the Third Inspection district took a similar attitude. The robbsd parties were also reticent. Every one else In the district, however, seemed ready to furnish details of the thef is.

PHILADELPHIA, April 17. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who is \out on the road\ for the World Movement, dropped into Philadelphia to-d- ay and urged a return to simplified living to create healthy, satis- factory conditions. Immediately he was asked what he thought of tho \overall movement\ and replied: \A good idea.\ \When aro you going to wear them?\ n reporter parried. Mr. Rockefeller scrutinized his interviewer closely and said : \J notice that you not wearing them yet, but I will put them on as soon as. you do.\ And tho \overall movement\ write down the name of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., as one of its members. Indications yesterday wero that within a few more days tho entire country will be aressed up in overalls in protest against the cost of the dressier kinds of clothing. There were unmistakable evidences that the fad has taken hold in New York, and re- ports from Chicago and cities nearer and further away told of Mayors and Pollco Commissioners and Sheriffs as well as business men appearing right out In public in the ill fitting gar- ments. As a matter of fact, Chicago re- ported Itself in the overall grip with clubs springing up all over tho town. Department stores were doing a big business. From Newark, N. J., came the news yesterday that the Adelphus Club, an organization of lawyers, had discov- ered the \creased\ overall. The mem- bers of the club appeared in garments Into which the crease had1 been sewed. At about same moment the wires brought tho tlduica that down In Ports- mouth, Va., the Rev. Edward K. Denton, pastor ot prominent Methodist church, had announced that he will preach in overalls y and that men similarly attired and women enveloped In bunga- low aprons will receive his especial bene- diction and welcome.

RECOGNITION IS REBELDEMAND Railways Insist That Strikers Must Return to Work Be- fore Midnight To-nig- CHIEFS MEET W Transportation Conditions Aro Improved Livp Stock Movement Better. By a Staff Correspondent of Tns ecu akd Niw York Hisald. Chicago, April 17. A demand for unqualified recognition of tho Chicago Yardmen's Association as the governing body of tho railway switchmen and yardmen and tho, calling of a meeting of \outlaw strike\ chiefs for next Mon- day to consider arrangements by which the strikers might return to work;, wero the outstanding features here to- day of the railwayman's walk-ou- t. While it is difficult to reconcile these two developments, John Grunau, president of tho Chicago Yardmen's Association, admitted to The Sun and New York Herald y that he was anxious to end tho strike. Grunau said that the meeting for next Monday had been called to discuss plans whereby the strikers would be permitted to resume work without forfeiting their seniority rights with tho railroads. He added that the meeting also would en- - doavor to reconcile these two seemingly Irreconcllablo developments of whereby tho men might be confirmed in their old nosltions and at the same time the \rebel\ organization might be recognized as the supreme body or organized switchmen and yardmen. The executive council of the unicago Yardmen's Association decided to \stand pat\ on their wage demands and refused to order the. striking switchmen back to work. Must Return by Midnight. The railroads and the brotherhoods have given the strikers until midnight to return to work. Failure to do this, railroad officials said, would entail loss of seniority. Tho brother- hoods threatened to expel tho strikers. Recognition of tho \rebel\ organisa tion as the governing body of the switchmen and yardmen wo.uld take about'&S.OOO members from the Brother- hood of Railway Trainmen and about 0,000 from tne Bwucnmen s union ui North America, union leaders said.

The \out- law\ strike of tho railroad employees on all lines between Boston and Phila- delphia was ended to-d- through the action of the Pennsylvania State Me- diators. Traffic conditions on nil road? entering' this city havo returned al- most to normal, and with few excep- tions all .evidence of the strike will have disappeared by Monday. Employees of the Philadelphia and Reading wero the last here to aceopt the terms to return to work. vAt a wild and joyous meeting 3,000 of them voted ept tho offer of the road aa presented by Charles H. Ewing nt in charge of operation, on receipt of assurances that all men would bo taken back without prejut dice. Swing carao through with these terms after several stormy sessions with Will- iam J. Tracy, chief of the Bureau of Mediation and Arbitration ot the State Department of Labor and Industry. It was said that at the first session be- tween Tracy and the Reading officials he was \almost thrown out.\ Quicker, set- tlement of the strike was prevented through the action ot the Reading in dismissing eleven' leaders In the strike who had returned to work. Tho other men refused to go back to their work until these men had been reinstated, and once they were the flow of traffic became almost normal at once. On the Pennsylvania complete trafflo schedules are In operation with the ex- ception of the New York and Philadel- phia service, where stverai trains which had been annulled havo not been These have been ordered re- turned as soon as possible. The embargo on express trarnc was raised on shipments to and from all points on tho Pennsylvania system with the exception of the cities of New York, Baltimore. Pittsburg and local points on the New York division. PiTTSBURO. April 17. Railroad man- agers and Brotherhood leaders reiter- ated that the yardmen's strike gradually. was \going to pieces\ and men wero returning to work.
