 When quiet had been restored debate on the general issues continued Sena- tor PoindeZter of Washington spoke in support Of the Chamberlain amend ment.

Trinidad, Colo. Feb. 19-An eleven year old Slavish boy held the center of the stage late today in the federal investigation of the Colorado Coal Miners strike. Congressman, attor- neys mine officials and labor leaders, crowded about Gustav Yeskenski as he told in broken English of being kicked by & miIitiaman when he tried to protect his home and little broth CTS and sisters.
 Matter is Under investigation.
 He declared that two soldiers came to the family ranch at Suff1eld on Feb ruary 10, ransacked the rooms and took $200 from his mothers purse.
 After the lads testimony had been given, Captain w. c. Danks made a statement to the committee that the alleged incident had been reported to Adjutant General John Chase and that an active investigation by the military authorities was in progress. Captain Danks said it has not been de- termined whether the alleged outrage was the act of militiamen.
 The boy told of being left in the house with his four or five younger brothers and sisters.
 Two soldiers drove up in a buggy" he said. "One of them, he too drunk came in the house. He said we had some guns there. I said No, no, we haven't no guns except my twenty tw o rife He take my rife, then he break open the trunk with an axe. I say No, no you can't do that He say Shut up.

Williams of Mississippi Also Resents Remarks of Fellow Dem ocrat and Offers Apology For Him-Colloquy Pre- cipated During Discussion of Arbitration Treaties Wilson Assured of Repeal of Free Tolls Provision

Washington. Feb. 19.-Extension Of general arbitration treaties with for eign nations, as the first move in the general policy of the administration to rehabiitate foreign relations of the United States, seemed assured tonight after the senate had taken up consid- eratloI of expired treaties and had closely defined the issues involved in the situation confronting the nation.
 Before the debate in the senate be- gan on treaties with Japan, Italy, Spaln, Norway, Sweden, Portugal and Switzerland President Wilson had conferred with senators and represent ativeS about the treaties as well as the paramount issue of Panama canal tolls.
 The Sentiment in Europe.
 He was assured by leaders of both houses that they would vote to repeal the toll exemption for American ships after the treaties had been ratified During his conferences the president explained that it WAS the universal view of European nations that the United States had violated the Hay PauncefOte treaty by the exemption clause in the Panama canal act. He said no official representations to that effect had been presepted-in fact. that there had been no protest from Great Britain during the present ad- miniStration-but that he knew the impression was broadcast in Europe
 
 remiss in the keeping of treaty obliga- tions.
 Certain Exemptions Proposed.
 In the senate the lines of demarka- tion as to the foreign policy of the government were sharply drawn when Senator Chamberlain of Oregon sub mitted a general amendment to all pending treaties which would except from arbitration by The Hague tri- bunai the following subjects;
 Admission afNaliens into the United States.
 Admission of alien children into the schools of the various states CinVolv- ing the Japanese question on the Pa ciiic cCasG.

 Provision of the Panama canal act eXemptmg American coastwise ship ping from tolls.
 o'Gorman and Root Clash.
 Discussion of the subject enlivened the senate behind closed doors as it has not been moved in many days, and a clash between Senators O'Gorman and Root of New York marked the cli- max of heated debate. Senator O'Gor- man assailed the Carnegie endowment for International peace, of which Sen stor Root is president. declaring that it's prime motive was corrupt one: H that it did not seek to promote inter- national peace, but to crea te an inter national alliance between Great Britain and the United States to the benefit of individuals who would profit from such q consummation. Senator Root taking the remarks of his colleague as Q personal offense, resented them in vigorous language and precipitated a
