STANDS
 FOR FAIRNESS, EVEN ID NEW HAMPSHIRE
Objects to Technicality Which Might Deprive a State of Its Repre-
 sentation
JAMES THOMAS HILL

Washington, November 21.-(Special) Senator Underwood has again demon strated the fact that he is more the statesman and less the politician
 When Senator Moses, recently elected from New Hampshire, was presented for induction into the Senate, Senator Pomerene raised the point that as charges of crookedness had been pre- ferred, the credentials of the new mem Der should be referred to the committee on elections and privileges of which he is chairman, and on which democrats are in the majority.
 The democrats, as a matter of fact were preparing to wage a bitter fight in hope of getting the case in the hands of the cimmittee from which it would eventually have been withdrawn, but only after indefinite delay Senator Cn- derwood then stated very calmly that irrespective of whatever charges had been made, MT. Moses credentials were prima facie evidence that he had been honestly elected-and that greater prin- ciple was involved. He added that the course desired by Senator PomeTene would deprive sovereign state of rep resentation in Congress-and that the seating of the member would not deprive the committee of the right to investigate any charges of fraud.
 The Senate immediately accepted this view, and the contention of Senator pomerene was withdrawn. Senator Moses defeated his democratic opponent by less; than 1900 votes.

nounced regarding the composition of the American commission to the confer ence and one high official said today that nearly everything thathas been said on that subject is only guess work and that President Wilson himself is the only person who knows who will be the Amer ican representatives. It is known, how ever, that Secretary Lansing will head the American delegation. It also was said today upon high authority that the name of former President Taft, who has been mentioned in connection with the commission, could'be eliminated as pos sibility.
 Only d few attaches of the commission will be taken from the United States, the entire personnel numbering probably not more than 25 or 30 persons. Great pres sure is being brought to bear by persons who wish to attend the conference to be admitted to the party in one capacity or another, but word has gone forth from the White House that the number must be restricted because all needs of the commission in the waN of clerical and even expert help can be met from the present large staffs of the American em- bassies in Paris and London; General Bliss staff and General Pershing's head quarters staff.
