MAY PROVOKE LONG FIGHT.
Treaty With Colombia Called Up in
Senate Executive Session.

Another long fight over the treaty
with Colombia, under which the United
States would pay that republic s15,-
100000 for the separation of Panama,
was indicated last night in the new
Senate's first executive session, when
Chairman Stone of the foreign relations
committee called the treaty up for con-
sideration.
Several republican senators objected
to immediate consideration because of
the absence from the chamber of lead
ing opponents of the pact. and after
short discussion it was sent back to the
committee "to get fresh start" Sena-
tor Penrose announced that in his opin-
ion debate on the treaty would last at
least three weeks. The new cloture
rule, which the Senate adopted just be-
fore the executive session was called.
probably could not be invoked to aid
ratification, because it requires two
thirds of the Senate to invoke the rule.

GREATER PRODUCTION
OF FOODSTUFFS URGED
Committee on High Cost Of Living
OF New York City Issues State
ment on Subject.

The people of the country should
appreciate the necessity Of producing
more foodstuffs II we are to supply our
own needs. to say nothing of export
ing large proportion of the product.
according to a statement issued today
by the committee on the high cost
Of living Of New York city.
The statement continues with
resume of the food situation as fol-
lows:
The Secretary of Agriculture mad
vertently made a serious mistake IN
his statement about the supply OF
Ioad nnt TIN IN the country The fn ars
and 1916 at 243,000.000 bushels. and
claimed that with that export we
would have AN available exportable
surplus of 164,oo0,0O0 bushels The
243,.ooo,o0o bushels in those two years;
1t was 359,975.263 bushels. and 3O.-
O41.000 barrels of wheat -four. e..
about 150,000,000 bushels more of
which on the Secretary's own figures
makes shortage Of about 14O0OO,00o
bushels of wheat.
''The outlook is not improved by refer
ence to the figures of production and ex-
port of other staples. The exports in
1915 and 1916 of barley were one-eighth
of the crop produced in those two years,
exports of corn one-fifth, exports of rice
ffve-sevenths. exports of wheat Gncluding
wheat fiour), one-third. exports OF rye
between one-fourth and one-third. The
wheat crop in 1916 was only about three
quarters Of the crop of the preceding
year.
The outlook for winter wheat Is not
encouraging. The acreage planted last
fall was only s00.oo0,000 acres, % per
cent more than the preceding year. A
yield Of twenty bushels to the acre,
which would be far above the average,
would give only 100000 bushels more.
The increase in the production Of dairy
products was only slightly greater in 1915
than in 1915"

 In addition to reporting satisfactory examinations of the various federal of fees and the federal jail, the Grand Jury offers strong recommendations anent the enforcement of the curfew law; the advisibility of the creation of a special fund for the purpose of car ing for Alaskans whose health and mental condition may become impaired hy the long Alaska winters but who fall short of being actually insane; and also severely condems the giving of money by white men to Eskimo girls The report says that general investi- ga ion of certain 1lIeged cases of i'm. morality and loose relations between Eskimo girls and whites was made and although there was some evidences of improper practices in the community, the reluctance of witnesses to testify rendered it difficult to apprehend any whites who had been delinquent in such matters.
 The Chief of Police is requested to keep n watch on the younger members of the community to prevent them from wrong doing and frequcnting i'm moral places and decent citizens are urged to furnish information to the proper authorities relative to improper practices among whites and Eskimo.
