IS LOOMING uP'
Such Will Be Result II ResoIu-

Vote Containing Reservation
to Article 10.

Washington, Nov. 1l-Re1ect1on of
the peace treaty by the senate or by
President Wilson himself, 10 assured
If the resolution of ratification goou

ate. sitting in committee OF the whole.
This was the opinion in administration
quarters here today based on tho pres
idents own words, frequently reiter-
ated during his recent tour OF the
United States Whether tho president
then will carry out his threat to send
leading treaty opponents. including
Senator Lodge to Weimar to negotiate
a new treaty, remains to be seen.
Wilson has served notice that he
would consider adoption OF the reeer-
whole treaty. There is nothing to In
dicate that he has changed this atti-
tide. When Senator Hitchcock re-
Gently called at the White House. Will
son told him the treaty would be un-
acceptable II certain of the pending
reservations were attached to It and
although Hitchcock never has speci-
fled what these certain reservations
are, it is generally known here that
the qualification of article 10 Is one
of them.
HITCHCOCK HAS PLAN.
The Hitchcock forces in tho senate
hope to reject the resolution of ratifi-
Cdtlon containing the ODJect1OnaDl0
reservation, then propose a new reso-
luton of ratification on which they ex-
Feet the opposition to defeat then get
together on a compromise. But the

stitute rejection of the treaty and end
The whole affair. And II they succeed
in securing adoption of the resolution
containing the Objectionable clause, the
president will have none of It, unless
he goes back on his own words and
completely reverses himself.
AS soon as Secretary Tumulty re-
turns from New York, the president II
expected to get in touch through him
with his leaders in the senate and de-
eide what Is to be done next. The adj
rutnistration forces are going ahead

TRANS.P'AC|F|C
CABLE IS plan
SENATOR Jones
Will Introduce Bill Providing
for Construction Over Pos
sible Shortest Route at Next
Session of Congress.

Washington, Nov. IA bill provid-
Ing for government construction of a
trans Pacific cable over the shortest
possible route will be introduced in
congress next session, Senator Jones,
chairman of the senate commerce COM
nIittee, said today.
Under the bill, according to Jones,
the cable would be the property of the
government but it could be used for
commercial as well as transac ction of
government business.
Witnesses appearing before the sem
ate committee today urged a cable
from Seattle to Manila as "a means of
fostering foreign trade.
The need of another cable across
the Pacific. members of the committee
were told, is demonstrated by the fact
that the present single cable to the Far
East is entirely inadequate to handle
the commercial business, being 16 to
20 days behind in transmission.
While estimates of cost furnished
the committee showed the Northern
route would be approximately 100000
0GO cheaper. and % per cent faster
than the southern route. much con-
fIicting testimony was given as to the
more desirable. The Northern route,
which would terminate at Seattle,
through Alaska. the Aleutian Islands,
thence to Manila, Is 1900 miles long.
while the southern route from San
Francisco via Guam and Manila is $500
miles. Chief argument against the
northern route, Colonel Charles Nc.
Kay Salzman told the committee, was
the supposition that ice would inter-
1ere with the cable during the severe
winter. This belief. however. was dis
nlpated by Jack Underwood, trans
continental cable expert, who declared
there was not enough ice along the
proposed route to make a cock tail
because of the warm Japanese cur
rent"

him, advised him to return to his seat,
which he did. The excitement brought
the spectators, who filled the court
-'oom, to their feet.
PAINE EXPLAINS TO COURT.
Following the excusing the jury, Mr..
Paine announced he wished to make a
statement and have it read into the
record. 1t was as follows:
Your Honor: After Mr. Rist took
the stand l saw McKaig leave his seat
and walk over where he could look
at the witness. l thought this was all
right, that he wanted to see the fea-
lures and study the face Of the witness
while he was testifying. I suddenly
looked up and saw McKaig leaning
over toward the witness and his lips
moved, plainly forming the words,
You liar
Others in the court room saw this.
I name Councilman e. NJ. Hoover and
Former Senator Williams, who will
make affidavits to this affair"
Mr.. Paine then apologiZed to the
court for giving way to his temper, de-
claring he was sorry for his action as
he should have been more cool headed
