ON NICARAGUA TREATY
Senators Borah. Smith and Clarke
Will Press for Consideration
in Open Session.

The fight against the ratification of
the pending treaty between the United
States and Nicarag qua is to be resumed
this afternoon in the Senate at 4
o'clock. The discussion of the treaty
began late yesterday afternoon and
was continued for three hours, Senator
Borah of Idaho and Senator Smith of
Michigan, republicans, and Senator
Clarke of Arkansas taking the lead in
opposition to the pact. Senator Borah
moved that the consideration of the
Nicaraguan treaty and also Of the CO.
lombian treaty be in the open Senate
instead of behind closed doors. This
motion was pending when an adjourn
ment was taken last night
Senator Williams replied to the at
tacks upon the Nicaraguan treaty and
defended the position of the aiminis-
gration in urging its ratification, with
particular view to Strengthening pan
American relations.
While the Senate was debating the
treaty the Salvadorean government
sent dispatch to its minister here in
struggling him to lodge a further pro-
test with the State Department against
ratification of the convention on the
ground that 1t would violate the neu-
trality of Honduras. Minister Zaldi-
var said last night he would place the
protest before the State department
Immediately. The first protest frcm
Salvador against the treaty was made
in 1913. Honduras also has protested.

PLANS PERSONAL INQUIRY
Secretary Garrison to Decide Wheth-

Court Martialed.

Secretary Garrison has undertaken
personally an investigation to decide
whether Maj. George T. Langhorne.
former military attache at Berlin, will
be ordered before a court-martial for
alleged delivery of communications
from German officials to Capt. Franz
Won Papen, the withdrawn military at
tache of the German embassy here.
What will be done, the Secretary said
today, will depend almost entirely
upon the character of the communica-
tons Maj. Langhorne is said to have
carried.
Should the communications prove to
be of a personal and unofficial char
acter the matter probably will be
dropped. Should investigation reveal
the communications to be of an official
character or to contain unneutral in
formation the act would constitute an
offense subject to trial
Copies of the papers relating to the
Langhorne case are on file in the State
Department and will be studied by Sec
rotary Garrison.
