no hope of a vott this week on
Shantung, because Senator Borah,
republican of Idaho, had let it be
known that he(would not give unani-
nous consent to such move before
Senator Johnson, republican of Cali
fornia, had returned from his west
ern speaking tour against the
league of nations.
To Expedite Consideration.
Taking account. therefore, Of this
opposition and realizing that many
senators, including himself, wanted
to be heard, Senator Lodge said that
consideration would be expedited by
putting all spare time on the job
of reading, four-day task at best,
with reading clerks working in re-
lays.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
floor leader for the administration
forces. said the plan suited him, ex-
cept that he would prefer vote
next Wednesday or earlier on the
amendments, which Senator Lodge
frankly admitted was quite impossi-
Bile.
Declaring that both the country
and the senate were desirous of hav
ing the treaty disposed OF, Senator
Underwood of Alabama declared
that the senate should not wait until
next week to voteson the Shantung
amendment when every senator
knew now how he would vote on
that and the treaty itself.
Discussion Abruptly Ends.
1t looked as if the senate was in
for whirlwind fight, and while Sem
ator Lodge had announced that he
would withdraw his request for
unanimous consent to call up the
Shantung amendment next week,
Senator France, republican, Of Mary
land, standing directly behind him
and waiting to start 35,OO0-word
speech, shouted his objection. This
abruptly ended the discussion and
Senator France proceeded to speak.
When the senate adjourned at S
O'Clock, however, the Maryland SEN
ator had not concluded his address,
the rest of which will be delivered
tomorrow.
After the smoke of the little skirm-
ish had cleared away leaders took
stock and found that for the next
week or 10 days treaty consideration
would consist of set speeches and
the monctcnous drone of the reading
clerks blowing through the printed
text.

court yesterday.
Charles Clark was standing on
the corner with The Bee in his
hands. He was reading an account
of Ransom's having insulted white
women.
"You are another of those Bee
readers. You are under arrest" the
policeman declared as he seized the
man by the coat collar. II am
going to clean up Twenty-fourth

being held on the negro patrolman's
instructions without bond to- see

In police court Chief Dunn as
serted he had known Clark for 10
years. ITO my knowledge the man
has never been in any trouble" he
added.
Makes, Another Charge.
Ransom ordered an additional
charge of resisting an officer against
the prisoner, and he was released
on $50 bond.
The negro officer violated Chief
Eberstein's specific instructions is
sued several days ago to the effect
that men should not be thrown in
Jail and denied bonds unless the
charge against them was as serious
as murder. According to the chiefs
instructions, Ransom exceeded his
authority in arresting Clark and

warrants.

$4,000 BOND ISSUE
CUT OUT OF ROAD BILL:

authoritative advice has been received
from Raleigh that an amendment to
the Henderson County road bill has
Eeen passed, eliminating the section
which provided for a bond issue of
$25:O06 for surfacing. AS q matter OF
fact the trainers of the road bill had
never intended to authorize these
bonds. The new bill was drawu by
amending certain sections of the Ole:
act, all unamended sections of tie old
bill being included in the new bill and
reenacted. Through oversight this
section authorizing a bond issue was
not stricken out, and was consequent
ly re enacted along with the other i.u-
amended sections, and incorporated
into the new bill, the county cQ,,s:a..s-
sioners being thus directed to issue
the bonds. AS stated, the ec::e; bot
