The strike of the trolleymen In the eleven northern counties of New Jer- - aey, which for several days has af- fected the travel of more than a rsill- - 'lon residents of thirty-seve- n towns, was settled yesterday afternoon by 'Charlton Ogburn. conciliator In street railway disputes for the National War Labor Board.

The report to the Joint con- ference board will be made at 6 o'clock this evening, and In the event that It is favorablo the men wilt be Ordered back to work Immediately. Pledged to Secrecy. Since under the direction of Concilia- tor Ogburn both strike officials and the Tubllc Service Company were pledged to secrecy until after the men vote no authoritative Information could be obtained as to the nature of the compro- mise that ended the strike. But the gen-er- al Interpretation was that It Is n vic- tory for the employees. Tho chief contention precipitating the strike, was the demand of the trolley men for recognition of their union, and they refusedjAjsutualtahatoInf to arbitra- tion, it Is presumed that Conciliator Ogburn persuaded President Thomas N. McCartcr and nt Edmund W. Wakelee of the company to accept this point at a conference he had with them yesterday morning. Mr. Carter's plan for a cooperative league whereby the men would obtain collective bargain- ing, insurance an sick benefits, has been withdrawn.

ACCUSE TELLER OF BRONX BANK Police Say Ho Admits Complic- ity in Bobbery of $26,000 From Cosmopolitan. HIS SALARY $27.50 WEEK Most of1 Money Recovered in Loft Three Others Under Arrest. A broken key and a pair of pliers were the starting point In a chain of evidence which' resulted yesterday In the recovery of most of the $26,000 stolen between the business days of Tuesday and Vednesday of last week from the Cosmopolitan Bank, S03 Pros- pect avenue. The Bronx. The key fitted the lock of the over- flow safe In which the money had been placed the evening before by the pay- ing teller, Samuel Smith, who lives at 2463 A'alentlne avenue, and the pliers were necessary because the key handle had been broken off. Both were found upon the floor of the vault In which the safe stood. The, discovery that Smith, paying teller, had given such a key to Samuel uvui, a saloon Keeper or 781 Dawson street, was followed yesterday by an examlnatlon of the paying tollor lasting several hours and conducted by detec- tives under the supervision of Capt. Wlhes and Lieut. John McGrath of the accounts and Anally admitted that he had furnished to Levitt the key to the safe and the bank entrance and the combination jf the vault.

Washington-- , March 16. House Democrat are having a fine time try- ing to defeat Champ Clark for the leadership of the minority party in the next House and at thd same time boost the stock of Representative Ferrla (Okla.) for floor leader. The whole fight Is being made on a \pro-Wilso- basis, the system of attack thus far being dally statements emanating from various Democrats with tlon of twisting about the successful \he kept us out of war\ slogan of 1916 to a party stand based on the assertion that the Wilson League of Nations covenant will prevent futuro wars. From time to time various more or less minor members of the Democratic party In the House havo signed their names to statements attacking Champ Clark for falling to follow President Wilson blindly 'in all of tho things he has commanded Congress to do, prin- cipally for his speech In opposition to conscription. To-da- however, a really strong man In tho House organisation added his voice to the protests Repre- sentative Lever (S. C). chairman of the Agricultural Committee. Naturally In opposing Champ Clark Representative Kltchin (N. C), the floor leader when his party was In the ma- jority In the House, is relegated to the background, as he committed all and more of tho offences charged by the Democrats against tho late Speaker. It seems that recently the Speaker expressed to some of his colleagues the belief. that the. Wilson league covenant would not accomplish all of the Ideal istic things claimed for It and this al-- 1 leged statement by him is Doing capi- talized to the full by -- his opponents.

The Foreign Minister denied that it was the Intention of the Peace Confer- ence to include'tho league covenant In tho preliminary treaty, which seems to' establish definitely the position of the French Government In this mat- ter. The of the situation still remains, however, In the light of the President's published declaration ,on the subject, which M.

C ALDER WILL FIGHT PEACE PACT WITH LEAGUE APART Senator Brandegee Brands Inclusion of League in Peace Pact Attempt at Coercion 1XASHINGTON, March iff. r r telegram of inouirv I have Editor state: If tho President submits the proposed League of Nations Plan in anything like its present form, so linked with any treaty that tho two cannot be separated by amendment in the Senate, then I shall unhesitatingly vote to reject both treaties. I shall paver be imposed upon by such an npparcnt trick; I shall never bo intimidated by such an outrageous attempt at coercion. 1 think a majority of the Senators will take that view, although I can speak positively for no one except myself. If the President desires to advise with the Senate as to he treaties ho can do so at any time by convening that body. If, however, he prefers to ignore it and can make tho Allies believe that a just peace can bo more quickly obtained by that course of procedure, both he and they ought to havo timely warning that they are sadly mistaken. \He shall not pass.\ FRANK B. BRANDEGEE, United Senator from Connecticut. Senator William M. calder expressed last night his determination to do all In his power to reject the \.entire proposition\ If the Peace Conference entangles the peace, treaty and the League of Nations covenant, as Presi- dent Wilson has announced will be done. The Senator gave out the following statement last night: \In view of the President's cable from Paris, as given out by Secretary Tu- multy, I want It made known that If the league plan as stated In the report on the, plan for the League of Nations recently made by the President of the United States on behalf of the com- mission constituted by the preliminary Peabe Conference In session at Ver- sailles is so tied up with the peace treaty that the peace treaty cannot be separately considered I shall do all in my power to reject the entire proposi- tion. \I reiterate my former statements that am not opposed to a of Nations or to any scheme or alllai.ee that reasonably attempts to restrain and guide human nature and save the world as much as possible from the horrors of war-- But I find nothing In the proposed Leaguo of Nations that does not make more for war th-i- for peace. \What Is more obhorent, it under-- 1 mines all the great principles under which this Government has grown to bt tl)s most prosperous and powerful in the world, subjugates our sovereignty. Interferes with our Internal and calls upon us tn furnUh blood and treisure that the old and worn out philosophy of nn alien world shall not perish. It is not the LiiiifU btates mat needs a League of i Nations to Keep us out o: war. Why, therefore, should we, merely to make a treaty of peace that should hive been made in Berlin months ago, abandon all without pausing to consider long and thoughtfully?

All the power of the people of the United .States In ested in Congress and only In Congress. \To deny that Congress can meet whensoever n majority of Congress sees fit Is to deny that tho people can meet, the enormity of which evil be conceived. 'Congress shall make no law abridging the right of the people peace- ably to assemble.' The Constitution the laws of the United States and nil treaties made under authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land.' Are we ready to make the proposed constitution, of the League of Nations the supreme law of, our land? The people must decide nfter being fully Informed. In Justice to our gallant allies who held the tide of barbarism while our slower conscience awoke, their rep- resentatives at Paris Hhould know Just what we In America believe. This can only be (done by open discussion In tho Peoples lorum, tne congress of the United States. \ Tile has power only by and with the advice mid consent of \the Sen-nt- c to mike treaties, provided two-thir- of the Senators' present concur.' There- fore the I'nlted States can only approve a treaty that two-thir- of one hundred and ten million people believe In. Con gress wll unquestionably follow the dic- tates of the people. How, then, are we to find out, how then Is Kurope to learn. what this country wants? Only by Con- gress convening anil Instructing our delegates tn the Peace Conference.
