 TREATY ASKED
 BY THE SENATE
Resolve to Investigate Re
 port That Unpublished Treaty Has Been Received By Business Interests Hitchcock and Lodge Mix


 WASHINGTON. June 6.-Resolu- tions asking the state department for the text of the treaty with Germany and directing the foreign relations committee to investigate how copies of the unpublished document have reached private hands in New York. were adopted by the senate today with out roll call.
 Action on the two proposals cane unexpectedly during a Hull in the stormy debate they had aroused and scarcely a score of senators were in the chamber when. in quick succession. the resolutions were put to a vote. Their passage itself however, was no surprise, as it generally had been con ceded that each would have a majority.
 The request for the treaty will be referred by state department officials to President Wilson and Secretary Lansing in Paris and pending a. reply no official opinion is available here as to whether the text will be forth coming.
 Under the investigation resolution introduced at the request of the white house, by Senator Hitchcock of Ne braska, senior democrat of the foreign relations committ,e, il is expected a far reaching inquiry will begin within few days. The committee will mee1 Monday to formulate plans which may include the summoning of members of the American peace delegation. Adoption of the Hitchcock resolution 1 came first just after the debate had reached a dramatic climax in d clash 1 between Mir. Hitchcock and Chairman Lodge of the foreign relations commit l tee. After this clash request by Mir. Lodge that the senate substitute an investigation resolution drawn by Sen 1 ator Kellogg, republican of Minnesota was withdrawn and the question was put to adoption.
 Demand Treaty Text
 The resolution asking for the treaty l text, introduced by Senator Johnson republican of California. then came up automatically under the senate rules and it was disposed of within less than d minute with only a few scattered no s.
 It had been opposed stubbornly dur ing the two weeks of debate by the presidents supporters, and the general expectation had been that the vote on 1t would be close. In suggesting the Kellogg substitute, Senator Lodge said the Hitchcock resolution aptly had
 
 feet was to improve the language of the measure. With this Senator Hitch cock mmedately took issue. saying the substitute was quite different in content because it did not name Sen ators Lodge and Borah, republican, of Idaho. as having made the charges that the treaty is in private hands in New York
 His own proposal. continued NIT. Hitchcock, would show by naming the two senators, where the information came from that started the inquiry
 Caustic Remarks
 T am amazed continued the Ne hraska senator, "at the position taken by the senator from Massachusetts. Yesterday he wanted immediate action. , Yesterday and day before he was for this resolution and now the senator. ; who was so anxious to make state ments here about the treaty being in New York, wants someone else inves- tigated.'
 Referring to inferences that the treaty was in the hands of financial interests, Senator Hitchcock drew a , pointed reply from Senator Lodge. T didn't say that. shouted the for eign relations chairman. Does the senator question the truth of what I say?"
 No retorted Senator Hitchcock. | but l think we ought to have another investigation to find out whats hap ] pened during the last q hours and what new light the senator's other side of the chamber have seen. You can beat my resolution if you | want to. You can put in that vague substitute. But the people Of the coun- | Tr-x- hr- f an investigation"
 Senator Lodge denied that he desired . to evade investigation and assured Q Senator Hitchcock that he would get all the investigation he desires.' Sen ator Borah thought either the resolu , ton would be broad enough to give the 2 committee access ito the whole field l of investigation.
