This drew a vigorous reply from Sen ator ttone. chairman of the committee, who branded the Massachusetts Sena tor's attack as a purely partisan out burst. Borah Jolaa la DlaraMleau Senator Borah joined in the discus sion and It was indicated that there would be a general presentation of views on the Mexican situation In the near future. Senator Lodge reviewed the whole history of the disturbance In Mexico from the Inception of the Madera revolution to the present strife be tween the Villa and Carranza factions, and declared anarchy existed now. He inl?lt-d that the animosity of Presi dent Wilson against General Huerta had directed the course of the Ad ministration toward the Southern re public and that the failure of the 1 resident to mention Mexico In his last annual message to Congrexs had left It to be presumed that ha had no policy to advance now that Huerta -was out and revolt and tumult raged along the border. Stars Reply Drawl Oat. Senator Lodge said that It was Im possible to expect the organization of an orderly government In Mexico and that anything looking to that end was mi impossible dream. Senator Stone tharply arraigned the Massachusetts Senator for precipitating the discussion of the foreign relations of the United Malta at this time, when every pos sible effort was being made to keep the Nation at peace while war raged iu many parts of the world. Senator Lodge had incorporated In Bis remarks a recent article by ex I'resident Koosevelt attacking the Ad ministration's Mexican policy and mak ing mention of the religioua persecu tion alleged to be In progress in Mex ico. Senator Stone heatedly referred to the article "as a remarkable creed In -which the ex-President sought to in ject religious passions Into our inter national relations." Rellstoaa rkase Deprecate. y "It is detestable." he declared." "that a former President of the United states and his coadjutor upon the floor, the Senator from Massachusetts, should attempt to Incite religious passions in consideration of foreign affairs. There is too much of that going on now. both l.y Protestants and Catholics. I pro test against It. 1 can think of nothing more dangerous to our political and tivjl life. It Is time for patriotic Sen ators to arise and do something; to check the onward movement of this It rent religious conflict. This is not the age and this is not the country where propaganda of that kind should be en couraged." , Of the charge that President Wilson s animosity against Huerta had brought about present conditions In Mexico. Senator Stone asked why President Wilson should feel such hostility. The nue.ition answered itself, he said, and he added that the presumption that the President entertained such a feeling was a "bald fabrication." ieaators Views Changed. Senator Borah read extracts from speeches by Senator Stone during the last Republican Administration, re marking that the Missouri Senator had completely changed his views with the change In party power, as he had charged Senator Lodge had done. The Mexican situation had come to a point, he insisted, where it must be debated fullv In the light of the duty of the Vnlted States to protect the lives and property of Its citizens wherever they might be found. "I should like to ce the policy es tablished, whether nemocratic or Re publican." Senator Borah ndded. "that when a man called out to a passerby in a foreign city that he was an American citizen. It would be known that his life and his rights would be fully protected r.y this Government: they would not ho molested then." Senator Lodge In the course of his a.ldrosa assert.-d 2ft0 American lives hid been lost in Mexico without 'rep aration "being secured or demanded. "Fiftv-two Americans recently have t.een killed or wounded on the border at Naro.'" the Senator continued. "Gen eral Scott ald that If there was any more shooting there he would stop It. There was more shooting after the Oeneral made this declaration and he did not stoo It. Knowing General B.-et. as I think 1 do. I am Inclined to think that he may have been pre vented from stopping it" NORTH TOLD: "CLEAN UP" Voutliern Fditor nernt Criticism of tlilld Labor In I'actorics. WASHINGTON.

SUBWAY 5EE5 PANIC Woman Killed, Hundred Nar rowly Escape Death. PULMOTORS SAVE MANY Congestion of Traffic Unparalleled on Manhattan Island Results. People-Fight Guards In Ef . fort to Keach Street. NEW TORK. Jan. . The worst acci dent in the ten years' history of New York's subway occurred during the morning rush hours today, when 700 passengers In two stalled trains were stricken with panic in the darkened tubes as a result of the dense smoke and acrid fumes from a short-circuited cable. In the ensuing struggle to escape some 200 persons were injured, one a woman fatally. Others were overcome and were rescued, unconscious, by po lice and firemen, while scores of others struggled to the street, unnerved or hysterical, their clothing torn and faces blackened by smoke. ''Traffic Blockade Unparalleled. As a result of tho accident the city was In the throes of a transportation blockade tonight without parallel in Its history. It was not until late today that a wheel again turned in the sub way and at that time only a limited local service was in operation. The hundreds of thousands of passengers the subway ordinarily carries were di verted to the elevated and surface sys tems and when the home-bound rush began tonight neither system had ade quate facilities to accommodate the tremendous crowds which sought transportation. There were no subway trains at all rnnnlnr to Brooklyn and a dense mass of humanity, concentrating at the Brooklyn bridge, prolonged the rusn hour period for two hours in a strug gle to board trains and cars.' t'oageatloa Today In Feared. The management of the Interborough RaDid Transit Company was not pre pared tonight to guarantee that normal schedule would be restored tomorrow, and a repetition of today's congested traffic conditions w-as feared. The accident occurred between the Fiftieth and Fifty-ninth street stations and called out virtually the entire am bulance service on Manhattan Island. The two trains, an express and a local. both packed with business-bound hu manity, came to a stop midway be tween the station and the lights went out. A large feed cable had been blown out in its conduit, some SO yards dis tant, and soon the cars were filled with the fumes of burning ruDDer. xnis grew unbearable and it took little to start a panic In the darkness. People Flcht to Escape. The demands of some of the passen gers that the doors be opened were re fused by the guards. It was said. Fights ensued and there was soon in progress on both trains desperate struggles to get out. Windows were smashed by the score: men and women trampled each other and tore each others' clothes in unrea soning fear. Meantime smoke poured up through the station entrance, manholes and ven tilators In dense volume. Little atten tion seems to have been paid to this warning until tbe first of the panic stricken passengers reached the street. Then the report spread that there had been a terrible catastrophe in which many had been killed. Policemen and firemen quickly reached the scene and although it was at length established that tne reports were exaggerated, they were busy more than three hours in rescue work. They found abandoned in the two trains, many passengers, mostly women, half asphyxiated by the smoke. Others had collapsed on the floor of the tube.' People Rescued With Ladders. Some were brought up by ladders through manholes, some through ven tilating apertures in the street ordi narily covered with steel grating. Nearby theaters, stores and automo bile garages were commandeered by the police as temporary hospitals for the less- seriously injured, while dozens of ambulances carried away to hospitals those needing skilled attention. Some of these were reported in a serious condition tonight. Miss Ella Brady, the only person to lose her life, died in an ambulance. The lives of several un doubtedly will be saved by the use of pulmotors, physicians said. $9,105,029 TAXES SOUGHT Receiver for Oleomargarine Slaking Company Is to Be Asked. COLUMBUS, O., - Jan. 6. As a pre liminary step toward the collection of 19,105.029.07 in back taxes alleged to be due the Federal Government from the Old Capital City Dairy Company, Harley E. Burns, Assistant United States District Attorney, announced here tonight that he will appear in Federal Court next Saturday and re quest the appointment' of a receiver for the company. Suit for the recovery of $9,105, 029.0", which the Government contends Is the total amount of unpaid internal revenue taxes on oleomargarine man ufactured by the dairy company dur ing the ten years, was filed against the company in Federal Court today. The appointment of a receiver, Mr. Burns said, would be followed by the filing of a suit against the stockhold ers of the company asking for an ac counting and judgment against them for dividends paid by the company dur ing the ten-year period. BISHOP IS CONSECRATED Contlnued From First Page.) and finally the words of the consecra tion. As tne canaioaLe uneii. obiuio the bishops with their hands placed upon the bishop-elect, the presiding bishop said: "Receive the Holy Ghost for the of fice and work of a bishop of the Church of God, now committed unto thee by the imposition of our hands. And re member that thou stir up the grace of God. for God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and love and soberness." Big and little children from the pub lic schools of Chicago, principals, teach ers and members of tbe Board of Edu cation, men and women of public, civic, social and commercial affairs of Chi cago, high officials of the church all united this afternoon to greet Bishop Sumner in a reception at the Audito rium Hotel. Reception Is Democratic. Tho reception was democratic to character. In that none had precedence and all were equally greeted by the new bishop , and dismissed with his handclasp and "God bless you always." Early in tbe day Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. . Superintendent . of Public Schools, had suggested to all public school principals that an early ad journment of each school would be per mitted in order that the teachers and children might bid Bishop Sumner, for some time a member of the Board of Education, an official farewell. This was done and. notwithstanding the steady fall of rain the parlors, corri dors and lobby of the Auditorium Hotel was crowded from 4 o'clock until after The reception is the first of a series of "good-byes to oe neia oeiore me bishop leaves for his new field of en deavor.

CORNWALL BESTS KNIFE OPERATION OF FOOTBALL STAR IS FOREGONE. Anson Cornell Hops Into ' Eugene on Crutches and Says He Feels Fine After Hospital Visit. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Jan. 6. (Special.) Tom Cornwall, who was to have been operated on today for an attack of bloodpoisonlng as a re sult of a football game in Portland with the Multnomah Club team, im proved to such an extent through the night that the nhysiclan in charge of his case declared that an operation would not be necessary if Cornwall continued to grow better. Neverthe less, everything was in readiness for the operation at Mercy Hospital this morning, until tbe doctors arrived and made their final examination. The im proved condition of the athlete's leg was wonderful and the football star Is spared for a time at least from a knife of the surgeon. Dr. Kerron, for mer Oregon athlete, said of Cornwall's case: "He Is out of danger at present, but one can never tell how soon a turn for the worse may show; his injury is one of the hone and if new complications set in an operation is inevitable." Earlier than expected, Anson Cornell. Oregon's smallest football warrior, hobbled into Eugene on a pair of crutches late last evening. The captain-elect is fresh from the hands of the Portland physicians where he passed the Christmas holidays in the Good Samaritan Hospital, recuperating from an operation of the knee. Cornell, In the Pullman game last October, snapped a ligament of the in jured member and in order to be able to lead the lemon-yellow varsity against all comers next Fall he resorted to the operating room and the knife, T feel fine." said Anse, "and I know that my operation was a success. Yes, I expect to play baseball this Spring and will be mighty disappointed if I don't." TURKISH CORPS BEATEN Continued From First Page.) Tageblatt, In a dispatch from the Aus trian headquarters says: "Simultaneously with the cessation of the Russian offensive southward in the direction of Neu San dec, the Aus trian offensive in Russian Poland came to a standstill. This was due less to force of arms than to the unfavorable weather conditions. Much rain has fallen, resulting in a thaw which has converted the whole country into a vast morass. It is physically impos sible to bring up heavy artillery with out which the Russian position along the Nlda River cannot be forced. "The Russian lines on the east bank of the Nlda follow the heights, which are suited admirably for entrenchments and well covered with positions for the Russian artillery fire. The Aus trians have entrenched themselves on the opposite bank. There is little fighting, however, except an occasional artillery duel when the fog permits, and also sporadic local infantry fir ing. No change in the situation is im minent unless developments in the op erations upon Warsaw should cause one or a freese should permit the mov ing or the heavy artillery." The correspondent of the Lokal An seiger sends a similar report on the conditions to the east of Cracow. On the Donajec River, he says, the ad versaries are well entrenched, usually on th oppesito bank of the broad stream.
