At the same time influential persons have urged that the Governor refuse to deal with the strikers at all and in the event of sympathetic strikes by the firemen, electrical workers, car men, telephone operators and the building trades, advised him to call for Federal troops and fight the is sue to the bitter end. The Governor's intimation that the fate of the striking policemen, so far as the State was concerned, was in the hands of Police Commis sioner Curtis led to inquiries at the latter's office about his position. The commissioner could not be reached but his counsel, James H. Devlin, Jr., said: "In my opinion the police men who left their posts have worn the uniform of the Boston police force for the last time. While the cojnmissioiner has not acted on this particular point of reinstatement I feel certain that the men who struck have separated themselves finally from the department." Want Reinstatement The matter of requests for rein statement already has come up, ac cording to Superintendent of Police Crowley, who said that a number of the striking officers had applied for restoration to duty. Except for the presence of troops and many boarded up windows, the streets appeared normal to-day. Some reorts have exaggerated the situation. The citizens of Boston do not appear to be terrorized and business is going on as usual. Mayor Peters was indignant to day because of some reports which he had received from out of town. He said: "In three days of the strike I have not heard of a single case of indecency committed upon women. I deplore a tendency in some quarters to distort the facas." Dice Games Broken The dice games who flourished for a time had been pretty much broken up to-day and traffic was moving without serious complications. A few arrests were made. Five men were captured when a volunteer of ficer jumped upon the running board of an automobile in which they were getting away. Two jimmies and other burglar tools, a flashlight and a supply of cartridges were found in the bottom of the car. Two of the men, who were armed, were charged with carrying concealed weapons and the three others were held as suspicious persons.. Soldiers of the State Guard con tinued in charge of the streets, aid ed by the force of volunteer police men and such members of the regu lar force as had refused to desert their posts. Little difficulty was ex perienced in breaking up the crowds, except in one or two sections. 18,000 Troops Ready Further confidence in the ability of the authorities to maintain an upper hand was inspired by reports from the harbor forts. Camp Devens and Army posts in New Tork and MOORHEAD KNITTING CHORUS TO SING AT MILITARY HOSPITAL The Moorhead Knitting Company entertainers, composed of girls from the mills, will put on a performance !at the Carlisle Hospital to-morrow evening. The program, which is given below, has been arranged and rehearsed by Miss Florence Acklcy Ley, War Camp Community musical director. The performance will be in the na ture of a variety show, everything from soprano solos and violin selec tions to chorus work.

Seven Deaths The death list as a direct result of the strike, now in its third day, stood to-day at seven. Several of the fa talities were due to firing by guards men into mobs found breaking win dows and looting stores, while two resulted from efforts of soldiers to break up dice games which during the first two days were played open ly in the streets and on Boston common. Another of the dead vas a striking policeman shot down by a storekeeper who feared his place of business was about to be sacked. The action of the constituent bodies of the Central Labor Union on the question of going out In sup port of the policemen was being awaited with some uncertainty. Leaders of the Central Labor Union had told Mayor Peters yes terday, they were anxious to avert a general strike. With tl\at in mind, those in close touch with the situation were inclined to believe that the leaders did not wish to encourage drastic action before as certaining the sentiment of all the affiliated unions. Announcement of the result of the union meeting was the climax of a day and evening, which, aside from sporadic and brief disturb ances, had passed quietly in com parison with Tuesday and Wednes day nights. The only serious disturbances last night up to a late hour was in the Jamaica Plain district, where guardsmen fired on a crowd which had been participating in a dice game and refused to disperse. Henry Groat, '2O years old, was kill ed, and two men were wounded. Wounded Policemen Dies Richard D. Reemts, a striking policemen who was shot yesterday morning, died at a hospital -last night. According to police officials, Reemts was shot by a shopkeeper who thought he was bent on loot ing his place of business. Robert Lallie also died at a hos pital last night, making the seventh death traceable to disturbances dur ing the strike. He was wounded when guards fired into a mob in South Boston last night. About fifty persons are being treated in hos pitals for injuries received in riots. Mayor Peters, in a statement, pledged his "loyal, earnest and com plete* support" to the governor. In the outward aspect of build ings in the center of the city the resemblance to a place besieged, was even stronger than last night. Shop after shop, instead of brilliant ly lighted window displays, showed a blank wall. Thousands of feet of lumber had been nailed across the windows before nightfall. But the enemy was within the gates and surging through the streets in hand-to-hand conflict with the defenders. Last night it was as if the foe had been driven out, but the guardians of the town were on the alert for another attack.

Characterizes Strike as Everlasting Shame and Disgrace to U. S. Washington, Sept. 12.—Assailing the policemen's union of Boston in the Senate to-day Senator Myers, Demo crat, Montana, declared their course "one of the most dastardly acts of in famy that has ever occurred in this country since the act of Benedict Ar nold." He characterized the strike an "everlasting" shame and disgrace," to this country. "What Boston needs is an Ole Han son for mayor," said Senator Myers. "I think there ought to be a few Ole Hansons in Congress, and a few Ole Hansons would also improve the Senate of the United States." SENATE GETS ORIGINAL WILSON PROPOSITION [Continued from First Page.] L i Democratic Senators had given as surance that modification of the league reservations would secure considerable Democratic support. William C. Bullitt testified before the Senate Foreign Re lations Committee to-day that Secretary Lansing told hint in Paris last May that "if the Sen ate and the American people knew what the Treaty meant, it would be defeated." "Mr. Lansing told me the day I resigned," the witness said, i "that he was opposed to that part of the League Covenant re lating to a mandate for Arme nia. He said he considered the Shantung award and the League of Nations bad that the League would be entirely use less: that the nation had ar ranged the world to suit them selves, and tlvat England and France got what they wanted. "After saying he believed the Sen ate would defeat the Treaty if it realized its meaning, Mr. Lansing expressed the opinion that Senator Knox really would understand the Treaty, that Mr. Lodge would, but that Mr. Lodge's position would be come purely political." The committee senators burst in to laughter and Bullitt said he beg ged to be excused from reading any more from the memorandum of his conversations.

Before pro ceeding, Bullitt said he asked Colo nel House a number of questions on the American position and House told him, he said, that If the Bol shevik were ready to stop fighting and declared an armistice the United States would approve. Bullitt was In Russia one week and on his return to Paris sent a re port to President "Wilson. There was serious discussion of conditions in Russia and the ques tion of withdrawing troops, Bullitt testified, and it was because of this that he was directed to proceed to Petrograd. From Helsingfors Bullitt sent confidential telegrams to the Pres ident, Secretary Lansing and Colo nel House, explaining conditions as he found them, and saying Lenine and others associated with him real ized the need of peace. They were ready, he said, to pay their foreign debts. Asked how this informa tion was received by the American mission, Bullitt replied: "Colonel House wrote me a tele gram of congratulation, but because it was signed 'House and Mission' it was not sent. The Colonel gave i to me when I got back to Paris.'
