alone in her bed room with Harold
F. Henwood, which figured promi-

same night
Thomas Lepper formerly ehauf'
feur for the springers, had testified

SOME OPPOSITION DEVELOPS
CERTAIN SENATORS OBJECT TO
RATIFICATION OF TREATY
WITH ENGLAND.

Washington, June n viscount
Chinda, the Japanese ambassador, has
advised Secretary Bryan that Japan
is willing to renew for another period
Of five years her arbitration treaty
with the United States, which ex-
pires by Limitation August "a.
Secretary Bryan said he expected
the senate would ratify the new ar
bitration treaties already signed with
Great Britain and other countries.
The senatorial opposition which Sec
retary Bryan is hopeful of overcom-
ing, was originally voiced by Sena-
tor Chamberlain, who was insistent
in renewing a treaty with Great
Britain that specific exception should
be made to remove the Panama canal
tolls controversy from the field Of
arbitration.
The question Of arbitrating the is
sue with Japan over the California
alien land law also had been the
subject Of discussion among senators
opposed to renewing that arbitration
treaty. President Wilson has held
frequent conferences over the ar
bitration treaties with senators at
the White House and at the capitol.
Members of the foreign relations
committee likewise have been fre-
quent callers at Secretary Bryan's
office. Mr.. Bryan today would not
say on just what representation he
based his expectation that the arbi-
tratiqps would be received for ap-
proYal.
