IS UNABLE TO GIVE A
DESCRIPTION OF MEN
Two hold-up men got $2000 In jew
elry and money from n victim early this
morning at Thirty-eighth nnd Spruce
streets.
Ho Is Albert Harlly, 117 North
Fortieth street. The men escaped. Pa
trolmen were rushed lo the scene of the
hold-up from the Thlrty-si-cond street
nnd Woodlnnd nvenuo station and for
several hours combed the neighborhood.
Police throughout tho city have been
notified to bo on the lookout for them.
MS-. Ilarlly was on hli way home at
12:15 o'clock when the hold-up occur
red. He was walking to his home
and had reached the -Intersection of
Spruce and Thirty-eighth streets when
ho noticed two men approaching. They
were not acting in n suspicious man
ner nnd he did not look at them very
carefully. Because it was only a little
after midnight he had no thought of a
possible hold-up.
He was not even suspicious when one.
of the men stopped as Mr. Ilarlly ap
proached and asked politely for a match.
Ashft for Match
"Can you let me have a match,
sir?" asked the man vho had stopped.
Thinking nothing of the request, Mr.
Ilarlly stopped to comply.
"I wasn t thinking of a hold-up,"
Sir. Ilarlly later told Lieutenant llos-
ton. In charge nt the Thirty-second
street nnd Wliodlanil nvcnin' station
"Tho street was'nt very lonely j In fact,
I had spoken to a man just a few min
utes before. I had been to Chester nnd
got off the enr nt Thirty-eighth and
Spruce streets and started tn walk
home, when the two men approached
nnd risked mc lor u light.
Ilarlly J-nid that hoiind put his hand
in bin pocket to get a match, and was
fumbling about for one when he felt
the muzzle of n revolver pressed ngnlust
his slue.
"Just give me whatever you've got,"
demanded one of the men.
A glance showed the victim that
there waHrtiow no one on tho street
With the jilver pressed against him
It was us ' to i ike a struggle, so
he sllentlj veil v Demand o'f the
robbers.
They toot hi hi 'Imost ft hundred
dollars, and vhluablo v welry. He was
wearing a .diamond tie pin of largo size,
n diamond ring and a valuable watch,
the whole worth nlmost $2000. Thev
took everything, and then told him to
"beat it."
Mr. Ilarlly hurried to the station
house and related Ms Rtorv to the lieu
tenant. District DMectlvcs McDov(cl
and Baker Immediately were asstcned
to the case nnd a detail of men sent
Into the neighborhood to look for the
robbers.
Mr. Ilarlly was not able to glvo a
verv comnlcto description of the men.
Apparently they were ypung. One of
them was about (i feet H Inches toll
and worn a cup pulled down over his
eyes. Tho other was nbout 5 feet 4
Inches nnd wore n hat. Hoth men were
dressed In dark clothes and stood In
tho shndow, so thnt their victim did not
get n good look at them.

LLOYD GEORGE'S PLEA FOR

Ity tho Associated Press
London, April 14. The Fcdcrntion
of General ' Workers, renrcsentlng 1,-

dustries outside the "Trtnle Alliance."
decided today to support the "Triple
Alliance" walkout, beginning tomorrow
nignt, in tne interest ot tlie siriKing
miners.
confcrcnco between Premier Lloyd
George and n delegation of officials of
mo iripic Alliance" wns ocnciuueu
this moraine within two hours without
any progress- apparently having been
modi; toward adjustment of tne grave
moor situation.
Ihc prime minister made a long
statement, appealing strongly to the
railway mey nnd transport workers,
who with The miners make un the
"Triple Alllance," asking them to
CXcrclRC roHtrnlnf nn.l not nrndnltntn n
crisis.
This plcn. however, seems to have had
no effect. J. H. Thomas, general sec
retary of the Notional Union of Hnll
waymen, declared nfter tho conference
that he could see no prospect for re
opening negotiations.
The railway nu-n nnd the trnnsnort
workers went to Downing street on their
own initiative. Their ostensible errand
was to deliver the answer to the pre
mier's request of last night that the
miners net forth specifically why they
rejected his proposals.
Suggests Appeal to Reason
Mr. Lloyd George urged the labor
men to resort to the ballot, suggesting
that they put their case to the nation
and that tho government would do like
wise. He appealed to them to consider
whether reason was on their side. If
so, he asked why they had not availed
themselves of tho ballot box.
"If reason is not on your side why
should you fore? the nation by starving
it to surrender to unreason?" asked the.
prime minister. "They arc not nn un-
reasonnblo people.. The vast majority
oi tne people you appeal to are work
men. If tho workmen nre agnlnst us
wo hnve no chance."
These declarations were made by the
prime minister In pointing out the im
possibility of the government accepting
tno miners demand for a nntloual pool
ing of profits, which he defined as "na
tionalization un to the noint nf moil.
dllng, and not of managing, which Is a
worso torni of nationalization."
The Hoiinc of Commons wns prepared
today to discuss tho reply to the king's
proclamation regarding the recruiting
of reserve forces to act In the event n
great strike should develop. The LHhor
party had given notice that It would
move the following amendment to the
reply :
"The House regrets his majesty lies
been advised to take such costly and
warlike measurrs, which nre cajculntcd
to provoke public feeling, nnd nre di
rected against loyal citizens who nre
exercising their legal right to rcnlst
encroaenment upon the standard of liv
ing nf themselves or their fellow work
ers." 8,000.000 May lie Out of Work
Whether the call for a strike, Issued
by the "Triple Alliance," will be uni
versnlly obi-jeil. remains doubtful. The
Dally Mall, which has canvassed sev
ernl railroad centers, expresses confi
dence there will be no complete stop
page of traffic.
Figures printed by the Dally Graphic
purport to hhow that if the "Triple Al
lluuce" stilku should actually result
and should last three weeks, It will re
sult In 8,000.000 persons being thrown
out of employment.
Another regult of such n strike, it
Is sold, would be that tho natlonul cen
sus, lixed for next week, would be !
postponed. Such an action would be'
without precedent. I
A manifesto, issued Inst night bv the
"Triple Alliance," in which this 'body
emphatically supports the miners'
claims, contends that such reductions In !
tne miners' earnings "no trade union
In the past ever accepted," nnd declnrcH
thnt, If accepted, "it would be a ills
grace to trade unionism of the world. "

Washington. April 14. The reply of
trance to Secretory Hughes' note nn
P. given out by the State Depart
ment today, is the first Indication that
the administration will succeed In Its
jMillcy of Insisting upon its rights as a
belligerent. It Is true that Franca docs
not go so fnr as to say this, the exact
language of Premier Ilrland being "that
i-rnnii' will approach tho examination
thereof (0f thc question the United

Mr. HugluM' note was to open the way
for this country's renewed participa

The promptness with which France
has replied, the breadth of the assur

',opJ" to the State Department, und.thosc
luiiniinr wiin the diplomatic practices
regard thc note as Indicating a victory
for Mr. Hughes in having International
questions generally In which wc arc In-

In his sensational note.
The question of Ynp and, of course,
the broader question of acceding to the
general demand of Mr. Hughes, will
have to come, France points out,
before the supreme council, the note
having been addressed to all the powers
which snt In that council nnd no one

Thc replies of Great Ililtaln nnd

be slmllinr to thut of France.
On the narrower Ksue of the dis
position of Yap, M. llrlnnd points out
that In nn earlier note France had
supported the American contention that
the giving of Yap to Japan had been
determined upon in spite of reservations
made by President Wilson nndSecrctnry
Lnnsing lu the presence of the Jap
anese representatives at Paris, to which
reservations Karon Maklno for Japan
had mnde no objections. For this
reason Franto maintains that u basis
exists for a resumption of conversations
between the United States and Jnpan.
The striking ndvnnce made In this
note from France oyer previous -communications
from thp allied powers is
the concession thnt the Ynp dispute Is
not one purely with Japan, ns all
earlier notes from abroad maintained,
but one between this country nnd nil
the members, of thc supreme council,
which awarded Yan to Japan In spite
nf President Wilson's reservations.
This Is n point for which American
diplomacy hns nil along contended.
The next point which Mr. Hughes hns
to gnln Is the concession that all other
rights for which wc contend are slm
llorly before the supreme council and
subject to, negotiation. The yielding on
Yap promises similar yielding In gen
