D. C., April 29.—Criti cism of the Navy Department's with drawal of the warships from Tampico was voiced in the Senate to-day. Sena tor Fall of New Mexico, presented tele grams from refugees at Galveston, de scribing conditions at Tampico. An effort by Senators Reed and Gore to prevent the reading of the telegrams failed. The communications stated that the American vice consul at Tampico nar rowly escaped lynching and declared the State Department was withholding information as to the situation there The secretary of the navy was vigor ously criticised. "Do I understand," asked Senator Brandegee, "that American citizens were forced to take refuge on British and French warships while our ves sels were nine miles awav?" • Yes." replied Senator Fall, "our vessels were riding at anchor nine miles away while German ships were protecting our citizens." "There would be few refugees in Galveston to-day except for the inter vention of the English gunboat," was contained in a telegram from J. B. Wood. "That statement is so absurd, so wicked and so contemptible as to de stroy all value of the telegram," de clared Senator Stone, chairman of tho foreign relations committee. He also referred to the mediation plans and asked if there could be senators who desired to put a stumbling block in the way of mediation. Senator Fall stat ed he had not noticed the phase ob jected to by Senator Stone and with drew the entire telegram from the Record. Senator Sheppard read a newspaper editorial quoting Admiral Mayo's offi cial explanation of the withdrawal of the American warships. "No doubt that is true," said Senator Lodge.

Lichliter, of Beusnt Commandery, No. 8, Balti more, was attended in an inspiring discourse by the guests and ladies present. There were about 300 knights in the hall when, after a reception to installing officers, the Rev. Har-y X. Bassler. prelate, pronounced the invo cation. The intallution of MarceNus D.

The Baltimore divine spoke on "The Quest of a New Knighthood." con trasting the methods of the Crusaders with the methods of Templars to-day. To-day the knights go forth to make safe the road to Jericho" with out the sword. Slaking safe the road to Jericho means the elimination of charity and charitable organizations in the time to come when the dispensing of charity will be unnecessarv, a con dition which true charity seeks to bring about, the Rev. Mr. Lichliter dwelt also on the position that Ma sonry and Templardom occupies in re spect to the Church. He averred that it never was the intention to make Masonry a substitute for the Church, but that Masonry was to Christianity a handmaiden, like as a morning star to the bright sun. The Rev. Mr. Lich liter s talk was full of pithy and invig orating expressions and was greatly appreciated by the Harrisburg knights. A luncheon and dancing closed the evening's festivities.

Rock efeller, Jr., yesterday in the first state ment he has made concerning the Colorado situation. Mr. Rockefeller said the company had voluntarily granted all the de mands of the men long before the strike was thought of. When Congressman Foster, chair man of the House committee on mines and mining, came to New York Mon day at the behest of the President to interview Mr. Rockefeller in the hope of a solution of the situation, he was unable to make any suggestion which did not involve the unionizing of the mines or the submission of that ques tion to arbitration. Mr. Rockefeller will not arbitrate this matter. In his statement he concludes: "But there is a final aspect of this grave matter which deserves more than all else the attention of the American public in this crisis: whether the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and the other operators have been wholly free from blame or not in the present controversy, the issue now to be. decided is whether the State, or fail ing the State, the nation, shall make good the constitutional guarantee of law and order."
