Hils morning, If a small woman's largo may bo counted upon to keep the ords true from the time they are printed until they are read, Mrs. Ethel Uyrne enters upon the sixth day of her nvneo almnlii Incrln rilucu.ui im i Uiat lies In a refusal to take sustenance that knowledge of birth' control should be available to every woman. She dldn eat, unless something was tniugglcd to her by other Inmates of the rnrklioutv: she didn't take medicine.

but Uurdette G. Lewis, Commissioner of Correction, stated flatly last night that hail damnencMl her tongue with water. tc called attention also to the fact that many limes during the day she had ')Z onSShViwH. to Newport, II. uruvu v.

that tliero was born In Commissioner i Lewis's mind a suspicion over which i Mrs. Byrne had no' control. To phrase I it more bluntly than the Commissioner' th handker-! uiu, jut ehlefs were sopping wet wnen Byrne finished washing them each time, and that the hunger striker derived all the nourishment she could when nobody was looking by sucking the water out of them. Prisoner Now Very WeU, Her five days without food has left Mrs. Byrne very weak.

Although no attempt has been made so far to resort to forcible nourishment, Dr. lrma Howard. In charge of the women's ward, where ftae is being kept, admitted that the woman's condition now Is giving some concern. No visitors were permitted to see her and It was explained that she was too weak to leave her bed In order to meet them in the hospital offlce. "I make no bones about saying that I lll not be responsible for letting Mrs.

Byrne contlnuo any longer without food, declared Dr. Howard. "1 hove served notice to that effect, for In my opinion any further delay Is dangerous. Mrs. llrne's mouth Is now so dry that she can hardly talk.

Her blood pressure the bulletin reads like a nurse's chart-la within normal limits, nor heart sound, her pulse la accelerated only moderately, her respiration. Is normal, but her temperature is abnormal.

The bulletin con. llmies: -Has not eaten. Has had no medicine. Claims she has had nothing to drink (that Is where Commissioner Lewis points to his suspicion). Hospital cell was cleaned by other Inmates.

No exercise during afternoon. Washed' her face, hands and tongue. Complains of pain In the small of her back. General condition still fair." Sirs. Byrne saw1 nobody yesterday except those who belong In the prison.

Her sister. Mrs. Margaret Sanger, also a leading advocate of the principle that Mrs. Byrne is endangering her health to promote, tried to get a pats from Commissioner Lewis, but when she told the Commissioner her reason for seeing her sister was to talk on general matters the Commissioner refused to issue the Lewis Exulalu. Commissioner lewls made tt plain.

ho that his refusal was for the day only! "I told her that her reason was not ufllclent to obtain permission," said the Commissioner. "Whether she can see htr at nny time I am not prepared to tu.v 1 will have to Judge the circumstances." Jonah J. Goldstein. Mrs. Byrne's attorney, also failed to receive permission to see his client.

Friction has developed between Goldstein and the Commissioner, and If the attorney persists In "hanging around" the workhouse, said the Commissioner, some one will grab him hy the scruff of the neck and drop him liitn the East Iliver. The Commissioner said Goldstein had obtained two passes to see Mrs. Byrne on representations that he had papers for her to sign. "He went over to the workhouse and up word to Mrs. Byrno that he "anted tn see her," said the Commis sioner.

"She sent back word that she did not wish to seo him." The Commissioner was reminded that Mr Goldstein had said Dr. Howard had 'old him that Mrs. lljrne was In a stuto oi coma. "Dr Howard told him nothing of the Kind," said Mr. Lewis.

"Somebody told Mm something which was untrue, and to conceal the source of his Information he mid It was Dr. Howard, who had mused to tell him anything." Mrs. Sn iier Hitter.

Newport, Jan. 2G.

Tt became known here to-night through wireless and other sources that the 'auxiliary German raider St. Theodore, originally a British merchantman, lias been seen almost directly (in the steamship lane, about six hun dred miles from Handy hook, a uenniie Identllication of her having been made by a merchantman arriving at Halifax, which, it Is believed, was put sued by her. Tho warning sent broadcast last night by British wireless said the St. Theodore had been reported east of Sandy Hook, In latitude 40" degrees north, longitude (0 degrees 20 minutes west, on January 19, or Just a week ago, at 7 o'clock in tho evening. It la assumed from this Information, the latest received from the St.

Theodore, that she is, operating in the vicinity and that Bhe may Bo looking for rich cargo carriers from Gulf ports or from the southern Atlantic States. Rsttder Perils, Krelpjhtera. The position of the St. Theodore, as given In the wireless warning, is somewhat below the lane for passenger carriers from New York, but Is directly in the course of freighters from the Gulf States and such ports as and Norfolk. The St.

'Theodore herself was captured by the raider while bound from Norfolk, whence she sailed on De cember 5 for Savona. The St. Theodore Is described In the wireless as a steamship of "about 5,000 tons" gross, well armed, schooner rigged, 405 feot long, with one funnel and only three years old. She can make about eleven knots. The raider herself, according to British wireless, was last reported on January 12 off the coast of Brazil seven degrees below the equator.

She was then described as a of about 4,000 tons, well armed anil fitted with torpedo tubes, with one squat funnel capable of extension, possibly a second, dummy funnel, two masts, straight stem and probably high speed. This description wns sent out again last night and steamships were" warned to "take all precaution." Allied Ships Seek Her. Therfe seems 'to be no doubt that the raider's auxiliary at least has been seen again and that It Is altogether probable that the Entente fleet of cruisers In the north Atlantic Is on a hot search for her. Two Italian cruisers have been re- rently added to that part of the fleet. with a naval base at Bermuda, and many swift auxiliaries, recently put In service on this side of the Atlantic, will be among the hunters.

Tho Theodore's crew, including eight negro American citizens, was landed at Pernambuco on January 15 by the Japanese steumahlp Hudson Maru. SUBMARINES WITH RAIDERS.

Bella Fendrlch, 14 years old und Etlnd, was to have had last night tho happiest time of the young year. She was to have had a spell of freedom from the New York Institute for the Blind, a few hours with her parents, and last but by no means least an evening of music For. being blind, music took the place for her of movies and toys and the games that children who have oyes can play.

It was 7 :30 o'clock when they got there, and the girl," clinging to her mother's hand for guidance and hardly able to keep from skipping with Joy, followed her Inside the hall and Into the parlor. Then she heard the voice of her uncle, Irving Felts of 630 Bergenline avenue.

West New York. "I've got you now!" he shouted, as he stepped In from an adjoining room. Blind Clrl Died Instantly. There followed two shots and Mrs. Fendrlch fell to the floor with a bullet In her side and another In her wrist.

Blind, bewildered, the little girl strove to flee from the terror Bhe could not perceive. But she only stumbled against a chair and fell. And as she got up, helpless, I the man pressed his revolver against her breast and tired again. Bella' died Instantly and Felts turned the gun on himself.

But he believed her dead before he turned the plsto. on the little girl and Will llrc-ovei'. Fendrlch was sent to Hie Noitli Hudson Hospital, where she was able to tell tho police what had happened. She will recover. It is expected.

All the while Bella's father, who is a foreman In tho Peerless Hubber Company's plant at North Bergen, was awny from home and Ignorant of what had happened. He could not get away from work In time to Join his wife mid daughter at the house, but had arranged instead to go directly from the factory to the concert and there await them.

Burns, his face somewhat pale and his expression very-solemn, heard the sentence of Vgullty as charged" pronounced upon him by Justices Freschl, Collins and Garvin In Special yesterday afternoon at the end of his trial on the charge of copying and "publishing" a private letter whllo working in the interests of the firm of J. P. Martin Egan of the publicity department of the Morgan firm and codefend-ant with Burns was declared "acquitted and discharged," the Justices taking the view that Mr. Egan was not guilty of "publishing" the letter. Inasmuch aM he merely had accepted the paper from Burns.

I II In Motive Unquestioned. Justice Freschl, speaking for himself and his colleagues, shared the lew of Lawyers DcLancey Nlcoll, Francis L. Wcllman and John D. Lindsay, attorneys for the two defendants, that when Burns had copied the private letter in the offices of Seymour Seymour, 120 Broadway, he was "actuated by good motives" nnd "was doing what he believed was his right to do." With this and other extenuating circumstances in, view the punishment for the misdemeanor, which might have been as severe as year in prison and a fine of $500. was a line of 100.

There were many operatives and other members of private detective agencies known to bo bitter rivals of the Burns Detective Agency In the court room during the trial listening attentively, and none of these showed any great signs of nrlef when Burns was found guilty. i "Permit mo to say," pleaded Mr. Nlcoll when. Judging from the argu- I ments passing between Justices and law- I yers, there was reason ror neueving innt I the court considered Burns guilty, "that I I think to declare this defendant guilty I would, be a great injustice. It would I eximsc him to a loss of his license, per- liaps nesiroy niw greui iiui-uitrnn, "This Is the first case or tins kind under the statute," said Justice Freschl, addressing Burns, "and we feel that your activity In this matter was actuated by good motives.

"It may be taken Into account that wo feel that no detective, no private detective, has any right to enter a place of business of Individual or Individuals in order to get Information for purposes of his nfm. If your conduct was malicious we would not hesitate to voto a prison sentence. There is a serious question of Inw here and our Judgment Is that the law was violated.

Because of the surroundlns circumstances tho court feels Justified in imposing only a fine. We are Informed by your counsol that the Judgment hcie will be reviewed. We hope It will be." After the JuJtlces had retired from tho court room there seemed to bo a general opinion among those who had followed the trial that there was no likelihood that Burns is In dinger of losing his detective license.

Tho first ofllclal expression of Russia's attitude toward the address of President Wilson to the Senate was made to tho Associated Press to-day in the form of tho following statement from the For eign Office: I "Russia always has beo.n In full sym- pathy with tho broad humanitarian principles expressed by the President of the United States, and his message to tho Senate, therefore, has made a most favorable impression upon the Russian Government. Russia will welcomo all suitable measures which will help prevent a recurrence of thp world war. Accordingly we can gladly Indorse President Wilson's communication. "President Wilson's views on free access to the seas find advocate In Russia, because she considers It necessary to have free access to the seas. The President's proposal regarding limited armament has tho support of Russia, who made representations of this nature at the Hague conference.

In expressing these convictions, the President of the United States Is, at the same time expressing the point of view of Russia. "Tho Russian Government notes with satisfaction that President Wilson makes sharp, contrast between tho definite reply of the Entente Allies to his first communication and the evasive note of the Central Powers. "Russia already has definitely unalterable determination regarding the future of Poland. The Russian Emperor has declared that one of the objects of the war is a free Poland, consisting now of three separate provinces. "As to the nature of tho peace to be concluded, whether It he a peace with out victory or not, one should remember mat it never nas oecn me aim oi me Allies to crush their enemies and that they have never Insisted upon victory In that sense over Germany.

It is Ger many who has taken that point of view nnd who wishes to dictate peace as a victor CHARITY ON A LINER AN UNNEUTRAL ACT elite OlaV bktDDer SPOtlS Attempt to Aid III Rus-sian Soldiers.

NOTABLE PEACE MOVE BY KAISER LIKELY TO-DAY Emperor Expected to Outline Teutonic Aims in Birthday Address.

TO POOL RESOURCES OF CENTRAL POWERS Federation of States Under German Hegemony May Be Created. WOULD CONTROL ALL FOOD DISTRIBUTIONS Rulers and Famous Statesmen Assemble to Pay Honor to Wilhelm. Special Cable Dtupatch to Tuk Sex. London, Jan. 26.

Unless all sign fall, tho Kaiser will make a notable peace move In his birthday address to-morrow. He is expected at least to make a statement of tlio alms of the Central Powers to counteract the Allies' answer to President Wilson, and also to announce further steps toward the. unification of the Central Powers. The Emperor will be OS years old tomorrow. Ofllclal speculation Is rife over the forthcoming manoeuvre nnd the statement that will launch it.

The many theories, when simmered down, agree that the pronouncement will deal with tho closer welding together of the Central Powers to distribute equally thei burdens of war. The correspondent of Tils Sun learns In a reliable quarter that the Kaiser Intends to pool all the economic and military resources of the Central" Powers and to treat Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey as one area for th purposes of obtaining man power and production and distribution of foodstuffs, with a common military and oconomle front, as a counterstroko to the Allies' continual efforts at cooperation. It Is said the Kaiser Intends to go so far as to create a centrat federation of States under German hegemony, extending from Hamburg to Bagdad. As to the organization of this gigantic plan, one writer says the military command of the Central armies will rest solely with Von HlndenburK. and the combined economic affairs will bo admlulstered by representative committees, working from one centre.

With Teutonic thoroughness the new organization will completely control the raising, training and equipment of soldiers, the raising nnd distribution of foodstuffs, tho administration of all railways and possibly common monetary system, according to one report. The Kaiser Intends carrying this central organization tn the highest pitch of efficiency, and then announcing to the world what terms he considers will guarontco Europe's future pence, says another high nuthorlty. This pcrsonagn says the Kaiser's statement will De a solemn proposal to the world which will be tho Kaiser's next move for peace. As cable despatches to Tiik Sun have stated frequently tn the last few week. Germany's economic condition Is rap-Icily approaching tho point where drastic methods arc necessary to keep tho population from starvation and maintain the morale, which is lower to-day than at any time since the war Reports from tho British front In France show there Is terrific depression among the German troo In the front lino trenches.

This Is directly traceable to homo conditions. Captured letters written by German soldleri icflect continually Increasing 111 feeling over the short rations In one part of the Central Empires, while the other parts are fairly well supplied.
