GENERAL WALKOUT EFFECTIVE IN ESSEN Berlin Ultimatum to Work- ers Up; France Denies Re- quest for More Gernan Troops to Be Sent Irtto Western Germany. \ By the Associated Press. BERLIN, March 31.—Leaders of the three Socialist parties here have sent an ultimatum to the Govern- ment requesting that it respect the Bielefeld convention and immediate- ly suspend all military measures in the Ruhr valley. The Government is given until 3 o’clock, Thursday afternoon, to accept or reject this request. Should it be rejected an immediate proclamation of a fen- eral strike will follow, Chancellor Mueller was informed by a Socialist delegation. The executive council of workers in the Ruhr district at the last min- ute accepted some modification of ultimatum, ac- ment troops have received orders to await new instructions. Government troops in the Ruhr region have been pushed forward, the time limit fixed in the ultima- tum from the Goyernment to the workers there having been reached, says a dispatch to the Abendblatt.

THE HAGUE, March 31.—The army of rebellious German working- men beseiging the fortress of Wesel, in Rhenish Prussia, has received re- inforcements and made new attacks, according to dispatches to the Nieuwe Courant of Rotterdam. The town of Hamm, in Westphalia, and several other places, are reported to have been plundered. - — Time Limit of Ultimatum to Rebels Is Up.

A majority of the troops are demanding payment of their wages immediately and a paymaster with money was rushed in an auto- mobile to the front. It is believed, however, a large element of the workers’ army will not lay down its arms. _ Expect to Be Shot. Red leaders are grimly facing the task before them and assert they are prepared to stake their lives for the success of the social revolution. Some, especially members of the Commit- tee of Action, expect to be shot if the Government catches them. The military is outspoken in its distrust of the Government's sincerity in promising amnesty and is finding many adherents among the mod- erates, ‘ VOLUNTEER WORKERS STRIKE Men Removing Storm Wreckage De- mand 75 Cents an Hour.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 31. OLLOWING is the text of F teicegram of Herbert Hoov- er to Warren Gregory, pres- ident of the Hoover Republican Club of California, saying he would permit the use of his name as a Republican candidate for the presidency: I had not ‘wished to enter, nor could I hitherto see any real public service by entering into partisan political discus- sion, more especially pending the clarification of the diverg- ing views of the different groups in the. nwarties in the great new issues. The recent over the treaty, stagnation in adjustment of our great eco- nomic problems, and particular- ly the many urgent representa- tions I have received as to the situation in my own State, con- vince me that it is my duty to confirm the action that my Re- publican friends there have al- ready taken without consulting me, developments For Reservations. I understand that there is a great wish among Republicans of California to have opportuni- ty to express themselves in favor of the league of nations with proper reservations safe- guarding American traditions and interests as opposed to the \. extreme view advocated against any league at all. . I differ just as strongly with ‘this view as I differ with the ‘xtreme position taken by the tresident on participation in Iarely European affairs. This iSue is whether, with reserva- tias protecting our position, we shqald join the moral forces of the world to reduce the dan- EerSagain growing around us, or Wether we will, by pretense of aninsularity that we do not posses sit by in the face of growin, armies, navies, national antagOrems, reaction, or, in re- Text of Hoover’s Telegram Saying He Would Accept Republican Nomination verse, the spread of Bolshe- vism, through much of the world. This would be the defeat of the hopes for which our sons were sacrificed in this war. Domestic Problems. “Entirely aside from this moral idealism of the league and the danger to our own ultli- mate peace, the solution of our domestic problems, such as the size of our armament, reduction in taxation and the prevention of agricultural and _ industrial depression and consequent un- employment, is dependent upon stability abroad and upon our access to the world’s markets, which today are endangered by discrimination against us through our inability to exer- cise our veto under the treaty. “IT believe it is the transcen- dent service which the Repub- lican party can render to the nation to settle upon a league efficiently designed to give us these national protections. “No one should be able to dictate the policies of great parties, yet every man and woman has aright to decide what issues and measures he will support. If the Republican party—with the independent element of which [am naturally affiliated—adopts a forward looking, liberal, constructive platform on the treaty and on our economic issues, and if the party proposes measures for sound business administration of the country, and is neither reactionary nor radical in its approach to our great domestic questions, and is backed by men who undoubtedly assure the consummation of these policies and measures, I will give it my entire support. While I do not and will not myself seek the nomination, if it is feit that the issues necessi.ate it and it is demanded of me, I cannot refuse service. “HERBERT HOOVER.” HOOVER IN RACE FOR PRESIDENT AS REPUBLICAN Former Food Administrator Says Developments in Peace Treaty Impel Him to Heed Friends. Bv the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, March 31.— Herbert Hoover today had placed himself before Republicans of the country, an avowed candidate for their presidential nomination, though a receptive one only in a telegram to the Hoover Republican Club of Cal- ‘fornia. He announced last night that recent developments in the ‘peace treaty “stagnation” in adjust- ment of the country’s economic prob- lems and urgent. representations concerning the situation in Califor- nia had impelled him to “confirm the action my Republican friends have already taken without consult- ing me.” The former Food Administrator ‘reiterated his declaration that he would not seek the nomination, de- claring he would accept it only “if it is felt the issues necessitate it and it is demanded of me.” Classifying himself as “‘naturally affiliated with the independent element of the Re- publican party,”’ he declared that as conditions precedent to his support of that party in the coming cam- paign it must adopt a “forward look- ing, liberal, constructive platform on the treaty and on our economic is- sues,” pro~ose measures for sound business administration of the count- try. ‘“‘Be neither reactionary nor radical in its approach to our great domestic questions, and be backed by men who assure consummation of these policies.” Hoover's Letter Discussed Briefly in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March 31.—Her- Ibert Hoover's declaration that under certain circumstances he might ac- cept the Republican presidential nomination was discussed today in the Senate. Senator McKellar, Dem- ocrat, Tennessee, and Senator Ash- urst, Democrat, Arizona, defended the former Food Administrator. Senator Gronna, Republican, North Dakota, said Hoover’s state- ments during the war had _ so “charmed” Congress that the Amer- ican wheat farmers had lost $2,000,- 000,000. Senator McKellar said Hoover was “eliminated” as a Democratic possi- bility. Senator Ashurst declared he still might be nominated by the Democrats. McKellar read from Hoover's sug- gestion to remedy labor problems, and said he was “utterly unable” to comprehend the former Food Ad- ministrator’s language. Thomas, Democrat, Colorado, suggested that incomprehensible language qualified a candidate for both party nomina- tions. Ashurst declared Hoover’s words were “plain.” TELEPHONE RATES CONTINUED Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, March 31.— The State Public Service Commission yesterday authorized a continuance of the present Bell Telephone rates in Webster Groves, Kirkwood and Glendale, St. Louis County, for an additional 13 months from April 1. This will keep the rates in effect until May 1, 1921. The present rates were authorized by the commission April 1, 1918, and extended for a year, April 1, 1919. In issuing the order of extension the commission said there had been no material decrease in the cost of labor or material and that the company earned only 5.5 per cent in the last year on a valuation of $687,- 000 on its property in the three towns named. These earnings in- cluded return on investment and de- preciation reserve, according to the commission’s finding. | MISSISSIPPI HOUSE AGAIN REFUSES 10 RATIFY SUFFRAGE By Vote of 94 to 23 Repre- sentatives Stand by For- mer Action, Despite Pas- sage by Senate. By the Associated Press. JACKSON, Miss., March 31.—The Mississippi House of Representa- tives today again refused to ratify the suffrage amendment, by a vote of 94 to 238. National Democratic leaders earlier in the day had flooded the house with requests that it act fa- vorably on the amendment before Delaware, through its Republican Legislature, acted to enfranchise the women of the nation. The Missis- sippi Senate passed the ratification resolution yesterday. The House has once rejected it. Ratification Again Delayed in Decla- ware House. By the Associated Press. DOVER, Del., March 31.—The vote in the House on ratification of the suffrage amendment which was expected this afternoon, failed to materialize when Representative Hart, who had promised to bring the measure up for ffnal passage, refused to do so, saying certain things hail happened which would make delay necessary: Indignation prevailed among the anti-suffrage leaders and threats of forcing a vote were made. Speaker Corbit ruled that unless Representa- tive Hart chose to call the bill up, it could not be acted on at today’s session. MORTIMER RESIGNS FROM NORTH AMERICAN COMPANY James D. Mortimer, president of the North American Co., and of near- ly all its subsidiaries, including Un- ion Electric Light &nd Power Co., and the St. Louis County Gas Co., has tendered his resignation to the Board of Directors of the North American Co. in New York, it was announced last night at the offices of the Union Electric. It will be- come effective when his successor selected. While no statement as to the rea- son for the resignation was given, dispatches from New York state it probably was due to a refusal of the stockholders to vote to increase the capital stock of the North American Co. from $30,000,000 to $43,750,000. Announcement of the failure of the capital increase project was made simultaneously with that of Morti- mer’s resignation. “WHITE MULE” HAD 2 MEANINGS To Some Drink With Kick—to Others, Animal With Kick. By the Associated Press. DURANGO, Colo., March 81.—A mule was used by a wily dealer in illicit liquor near here, according to officials. The animal is white. In front of the owner’s home a sign was placed reading ‘‘white mule for sale.”’ If the prospective customer was able to prove he was “all right” the dealer showed him a liquid with a real kick in it. If the visitor was not known, he was shown an animal with a real kick. The price of the animal was set at a figure which in- sured its retention by the moonshine dealer.

Dwyer Says Continued From Page One. and if one happens to be bad—and about half of them are—the man who draws a bad one has to g0 without until the next week.” “Is that true?” the reporter asked Supt. Dwyer. “Well, we do use storage eggs, and some of them, of course are bad,” he replied. ‘‘Anyhow, the old theory that tubercular patients re- quire eggs and milk has been aban- doned, any good sustaining food will do for them.” Grand Jury at Hospital Today. The grand jury, in making its regular round of city institutions be- fore reporting Friday, today went to the Koch Hospital, accompanied by Circuit Attorney McDaniel and As- sistant Circuit Attorney Baer, and it was announced that they would in- quire, while there, into the patients’ charges. All grand juries visit Koch Hos- pital, and invariably make some rec- ommendations eoncerning it. The last one, which reported Jan. 30, characterized the practice of keeping advanced cases in the same ward with less serious ones as ‘‘frightful.” Eighteen recommendations for im- provements were made, including better washroom facilities, separate rooms for advanced cases, removal of smallpox and leprosy cases from the same grounds, more giversion for patients and nurses, a visiting medical staff and more modern methods. It also urged that the ap- propriation be increased. About 100 persons attended the budget hearing before the Board of Estimate and Apportionment last Friday and urged that an enlarged appropriation for additional facili- ties at the hospital be provided. Director of Public Welfare Schmoll, Hospital Commissioner Shutt and Dr. J. F. Bredeck, a physi- cian connected with the Tuberculosis Society, also visited the hospital to- day to investigate the charges in the Morahan resumed: “Another in- justice which we have to endure is the harsh treatment of ill-tempered nurses. About two years ago I saw a nurse strike a patient with a bed pan and punch him with her fists. He died the same afternoon. On another occasion when a patient was deliriqus and was strapped in bed, he kept trying to rise. This same nurse grabbed him by the throat and choked him until he lay still. He died the next day. “Nothing Was Donec.” “T reported both these occurrences to this man,” he said, pointing his finger.at Dwyer, “and nothing was done about it.”’ “There was, too,” Supt. Dwyer re- ters was ef the presence of a garbage ineinerator within 100 feet of the n.ain hospital building. The reporter found this to be true. Supt. Dwyer said it was established near so it would be convenient to the kitchen. Morahan also brought out the fact that Supt. Dwyer had a detention room, with basred doors and win- dows, constructed in the main build- ‘ing, and that patients were confined there for several days at a time. ‘They were fellows who couldn't be controlled,” the superintendent | explained. | “Who gave you the right te pass ‘on their capacity for being con- trolled? Where do you get the au- thority to arrest, pass judgment on men and sentence them to imprison- ment?” Morahan demanded again. “I’m the superintendent, and I’m ‘in charge of these patients,’’ was the reply. FE .fore starting, however, Commis- sioner Shutt expressed a conviction that the complaints were not well founded. He said some of the fig- ures contained in the letters, bearing on the expenditures for food, did not coincide with the official figures. More is spent for food there than at the city hospital, in proportion to the number of patients, he said. Director Schmodli also expressed a belief that the complaint should not be taken too seriously. He said per- sons with tuberculosis were prone to brood over supposed wrongs, and to imagine they were being treated badly. Would Becorie Melancholy. He added, however, that if the statements contained in the com- plaint were true, such treatment would be enough to make the pa- tients melancholy if they were not already so. One paragraph in the letter, which was signed by 33 patients, said: “T want to call your attention to some figures that speak very plain- ly. The appropriation for the fiscal year of 1919 was $98,000, the an- nual payroll amounts to $49,000, hospital supplies, medicine, drugs, linen, towels, utensils and hundreds of other things, is estimated at $25,- 000, leaving a balance of $24,000 for food. We will see how far it goes.

Patients said that, until a month ago, 36 men were using one tub and one basin. A similar condition existed in the woman's ward for advanced cases. In the women’s and children’s ward for incipient cases, which are less serious, it was found that two tubs and a shower were serving the 20 women and children. The wards were scrupulously clean and some pains had been taken to make them pleasant, by installing flowers and pictures. The kitchen and dining rooms were spotless. In one cottage, however, were found six beds in a room about 30 by 15 feet. The bathroom was so small two men could hardly stand inside it at once, and the bath tub was an an- tiquated iron one. Statement as to Food. Supt. Dwyer was asked the reason for the admitted difference in the food served the nurses and that served the patients. He explained it by saying that “‘the nurses require better food because they work; ahe patients don’t work.” In connection with Morahan’ statement concerning dishwashing, the superintendent said it was true tha‘ patients in advanced stages wera |} required to wash dishes, but said th. doctor was first asked whether they were fit.
