TREATY MEASURES
QUICKLY ADOPTED

Washington. FEB. 23.-Without any
amendment whatever to limit their
scope, the Senatc by more han a two
thirds vote to-day ratified the general
arbitration treaties between the United
States, Great Britain, Japan, Italy,
Spain, Norway, Sweden, Portugal and
Switzerland.
Attemps to exempt the Panama
tolls question, orQuestiors of immigra-
ton and public education, which were
related to the treaties with Great
Britain and Japan were defeated, and
the conventions go into new force in
the same general terms as existed be-
fore they expired.
The vote, while an evidence Of the
Senate's support Of President Wilson's
treaty policy, was interpreted by those
backing the presidents proposal for a
repeal OF the Panama tolls exemption,
as an indication that the president will
have practically the same support on
that question.
Ratification of the conventions clears
the diplomatic atmosphere, so to speak,
which has been charged and sur
charged for months with complexities,
relating to the Japanese protest against
the California, anti-alien land laws
and British protests against the tolls
exemption at Panama. The phrase
that the United States was "in q state
OF isolation" was frequently used in
describing the situation.

SUBSIDING;
-. DAMAGE Is LARGE

Los Angeles. Feb. 24.-After having
caused damage estimated at close to
5000, 900 the storm which has played
havoc In southern California for the
past week Is subsiding and the swollen
streams are going down. A total Of
seven lives have been lost in the flood
resulting from the delu3e of last week.
No rain has fallen since Friday.
Not before tomorrow will anything
be restored. An army OF men have
been set to work by the railroad and
telegraph and telephone companies re-
pairing the damage caused by the rush
of water from the mountain sheds.
The greatest damage has been suf-
fered by the citrus fruit Of
the six counties around Los Angeles
which were the hardest hit by the
storm. Their loss Is irrepairable.
Many of the orchards are not so badly
damaged as first reported, however,
without doing them much harm.
The greatest anxiety today concerned
the situation OF the 800 passengers ma
rooned aboard the California limited
and n Phoenix express of the Santa
Fe lines at Summit, in the San Bernar-
dino mountains. These trains were
stalled Friday in a mountain pass.
automobiles were sem out last night

WITH WASHINGTON

exhibitions Of the true American spirit
in a. way that would do the heart of
George Washington good If he were

OF Washington President Wilson en-
tered upon his duties a year ago. AS
the leader of q party, he summoned the

of every party for counsel and CO.
operation.
washington in his farewell address
warned the country against the bane-
full effects of the passions aroused by
the extremes Of party spirit. When
WashingtOn's advice was accepted
from rancOrous craftsmanship emerged
the era Of good feeling. Are we on
the verge Of another era of good feel
ing?
"President Wilson made here in Chi
cago," said Mr.. Daniels, "a few days
before his Inauguration an address in
which he said:
Il have made pledges which 1 re-
gard as intimately associated with my
essential honor. / can serve only one
