MAYBE CALLED State Legislators May Be Ask- ed to Deal With Strike - Situation. _-_ ARBITRATION IS HINTED -_- Several Members of the Leg islature to Meet Monday Afternoon in the Biltmore. maza NEW YORK, Wept. 23.-A special session of the 'state legislature to deal with the threatened strike here, involving 800,000 workers, loomed as a strong possibility today. Great pressure will be brought to bear upon Governor Whitman to call the legislature into session at once that it may rush through a law broadening the powers of the public service commission. It has been pro- posed that the commission be em- powered to compel the traction com- panies and their employes to «settle their difficulties 'by arbitration. Assemblyman Vincent Gilroy has sent messages to nearly a hundred members .of the legislature, calling them to a meeting to be held in the Biltmore Monday afternoon. At this meeting it is proposed to pass a res- olution proposing that the legislature be called fato session to deal with the strike situation here. The indica- tions today were that the meeting will be largely attended and that the resolution will be passed. Nine hundred special police will be added to New York's force at once to deal with the situation. Orders were sent out today by Police Commis- sioner Woods to all captains to swear in ten men in each precinct in the city. This will be done at once and those adgitional mien will be immedi- ately placed on duty. ‘ Whether the militia will bo called out, as threatened by Mayor Mitchel in a letter he and Chairman Straus of the Public Service @ommission sent to the union leaders Thursday, is stfll indefinite. It was certain, ac- cording 'to officials today, that the troops would not be asked for until the general strike is actually in ef- fect. All women workers will walk out with the men, according to Margaret Hinchey of the Women's Trade Un- ion league. She declared that thou- sands of women would stay away from work Wednesday, \The threat has been made that the militia will be called out.\ she sald today. \They can go as far.as they like. They will soon have the jalls filled.\ SUCCESSFUL ATTACK BY BRITISH AEROPLANES LONDON, Sept. 23.-British naval aeroplanes yesterday successfully at- tacked the German aerodrome at St. Denis, in West Flanders, says today's official announcement by the admiral- ty. The results were highly satisfac- tory. Reliable reports show that con- siderable material damage and many casualties resulted from - previous Serial bombardments. The admiralty statement added that early today nav- al aeroplanes also conducted heavy at- tacks on enemy acrodromes at Ghis- telles and Handzaemse, in the same part of West Flanders, inflicting con- siderable damage. Aill of the British aeroplanes returned to their base.

BITTER FEELING N WAR DEPARTMENT Civilian and Military Efements Are at Odds Over Bell's Report. w__. GENERAL IS RDISCREDITED Information About Chihuahua Battle, However Came from Secret - Service Agents. WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. - Bitter feeling is developing between the civ- dlian and military elements in the war department over the Mexican situa- tion. The discrediting of General Geo. Boll, Jr.'s report of the Chihuahua bat- tle in which he declares that Villa was present in person and made a speech to the natives from the balcony of the governor's palace in that city, by civil- lan officials of the department chiefly is responsible for this. While no official report of how he secured his information yet has been received from General Bell it was learned that it came direct to him from secret agents whom he sent south ofgChihuahua City immediately upon the word reaching him that Villa had threatened an attack. These ag- ents also have reported that the lead- ers of the same band which attacked Chihuahua, now plan an assault in the near future upon both Torreon and Durango in order to demonstrate their power and prevent, if possible, the Carranzista agents now in this coun- try from securing a 10a? from Am- erican financiers, The State department still is with- out definite word regarding Villa from its own agents commissioned to learn whether he actually is leading the force operating near Chihuahua City. It has received information, however, that a number of Villa's personal fol: lowers led the attack, and also con- Irmation that a section of the Carran- zista garrison of the city deserted and joined the bandits. Latest réports reaching here that the element in this country and Havana which financed the Felix Diaz movement seyeral months ago, now is financing they opposition to Carranza in Mexico. Agents of the department of Justice are tracing money payments belioved to have been made in New York for the purchase of arms and also are trying to locate \gun run- ners\ operating out of gulf ports, who are belyved to be smugzling muni- tions into Mexico in defiance of the orders of the State department that] Carranza alone is to receive arms and ammunition. All information reaching here is be- ing sent on to Secretary of the Inter- ior Lane for his use in the conferences] at New London. It was said officially. that, unless another general raid on the American border is attempted, there will be no change in the policy towards Mexico until the international | enmmission completes its work. \DADDY LONG LEGS® WILE BE PRESENTED One of the most® tainments of the season will be the presentation in Parish | hall Wednesday evening, September 27, of \Daddy Long Legs\ by Miss Marion Hertha Clarke, the well known New York reader and impersonator.
