SENATE WANTS PART
IN MAKING PEACE
probably Will Pass Resolution
Demanding q Part in
Vcrsai1les Council.

Washington, Nov. 25.--It having be-
come apparent that the President would
not draw on Congress To make the dele
gntion to the Peace Conference the
Senators themselves are moving to have
at least passive part in the negotiations.
AS two-thirds of the Senate must con-
cur in any treaty made by the President
the Senators feel that they are entitled
to know every stage Of the proceedings
anteccdent to treaty, and there is n
movement on foot to embody this senti-
nsent in 4 resolution before the President
and the Peace Delegations shall have
arrived in France.
The Senators insist that there is moth
inf hostile IN this attitude. Indeed, they
say that one of the main purposes Of it
- To avoid cnbarrass M the President
by debates over the treaty, which might
be expected if their first knowledge OF il
came when he lays the document before
them. This resolution is scheduled to re-
quest the peace delegates To send directly
to the Senate Committee of Foreign Affairs
a report of the proceedings M they develop.
The committee will Judge Of the ex-
pediency Of making these communica-
tions public, and in view of the Presidents
repeated declarations against secret
diplomacy, they anticipate no opposition
from the White House.
It Is probable number of Senators
vii! go to Paris during the negotiations
and while they will have no official part
IN the proceedings they may be the
channel through which the details Of the
conference reach their brethren of the
Upper House.
So far as known there has been no change
IN the personnel Of Americas delegation.
1t still stand. so far as known: The Presi
dent, Secretaries Lansing and Baker.
Col. House, Elihu Root and Henry White.
1t is probable both the Agemernnon.
formerly the Kaiser William III, and the
George Washington will be put in readiness
SC, that the President may elect either, ac-
cHrding to whether speed or comfort is
the important thing at the last moment.

WITHDRAW PROTEST
AGAINST SALOONS
When the Proprietors Accused Of
Violations Agree to Obey
Laws.

After the defendants had signed stipu-
lations, Horace G. Eastburn, attorney for
the Law and Oryicr Society, told Judges
Boycc and Rice in the Court OF General
Sessions today that he would withdraw
rcmonstranccs against renewing the liquor
licenses of three saloonkecpers, John L.
McNiff Of 2ll East Front street, Thomas
McGr,nary of LOG East Fifth street and
Georac NJ Gillespie of Fifth and Shipley
streets. McNifT was charged with main
tanning clandestinc entrance, Me-
Granary with maintaining clandestine
entrance and private drinking room and
Gillespie with violating the anti-scrccn
law and serving liquor in a restaurant.
The stipulations signed by the defendants
were agreements to comply with legal re-
Quircn,ents.
Hearing the case of James c. O'Neal,
proprietor of the Continental Hotel,
2O5 Market street, took considerable
time. The Law and Order Society, asking
that renewal of Mr.. ONeafs license be
refused, made three allegations he
violated the Victory Day closing order,
that he maintains a clandestine entrance
and private drinking room and that he
violates the anti-screcn law. J. Frank
Ball was council for the defence.
On the alleged violation of the Victory
Day closing order Attorney Eastburn
did not submit any new testimony.
Frank T.. Haley, special agent of the
Law and Order Society, testified that
view of the barroom, IN the front of the
building, and Of the diningroom, in the
rear, was obscured, and Detective Ser
Geant Green gave similar testimony,
Detective kempski sworc he saw 2S
men and women drinking in the dining
room one night.
Alfred S. Gilbert, called by the de-
fence, said he went to the Continental
1T I0.45 clock in the morning on Victory
Day by request Of Edward kr1usc,
president Of the Retail Liquor Dealers
Association, and told O'Neal to close the
saloon at noon and, if he desired, reopen
at night.
Gus Chase, who has charge Of the
lunch counter, stated no liquor was
served in the saloon during the parade.
Mr.. O,Neal testified that no changes
had bccn made in the windows since he
purchased the hotel.
Frank L. Medler declared O'Neal re-
fused to sell liquor on Victory Day.

GREED AND FRAUD
I Barred BY US. PROBE
Amazing Profiteering in War Ma
terials Disclosed by Inquiry Of
Federal Trade Commission.

Washington. Nov 25.--Thc mdst illn-
minating information transmitted 70
Congress on tho subject of general prof.
tcering was prepared by the federal
trade commission, 1t WA sent 10 supple
nent tho report of the treasury depart
mcnt. called for under 4 resolution in
troduccd by Senator Bornh q Idaho.
The information prepared by the federal
trad~ commission upon tho current
range of profits in various Industries
was based upon an investigation to
determine the cost Of production, in
dustrial surveys to determine the amount
Of profit, and the enforcement Of the
law against unfair methods of compe-
.ition.
Under the first activity the commits
sion reported the results Of its invcsti-
CATION Of many industries handling
basic materials, including steel, copper,
zinc. nickel, sulphur, lumber, coal and
petroleum and its products. The second
phase dealt with the cost Of production
in NESTS, leather. -four and canned
goods. For the third feature Of it's re-
port the commission revealed through
numerous complaints filed with il the
inequalities Of cost and prohte and re-
viewed it's application Of the remedies
provided Ivy law to prevent unfairncss
in trade competition.
Tne outstanding revelation made by
the commission WAS the heavy profit
realized by the low-cCst concern under
a governmcntaI-fixed price for The whole
country.
Tho outstanding fact the indus
trial surveys made by the commission
was the heavy profit made by the meat
packers and by these allied with them
and by the flour mills.
The most startling feature on the.
score OF profit revealed by the work
OF the commission was described As
''the trade tendency to increase and
maintain prices against the forc~ Of
competition.
The commission prcfaced it's report
with the declaration: The commits
sion has reason To knew that profitecr-
inf exists. Much Of il il due to advantages
taken of necessities of the times AZ evil
denccd in the war pressure for heavy
production. Some OF il is attributable
to inordinate greed and barefaced fraud.
