possesses all the flexibility Of the
wooden shaft and has additional desir-
able features. The steel shaft is hol-
low, tapers toward the lower end, and
is much smaller in diameter than one

player additional driving power, be-

HAS a RESERVATIONS
Prepared by Nevada Senator On
League Covenant.
Declares His Resolution In Line With
Presidents Recommendations
at Conference.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The COM
promise proposal to have to SEN
ate adopt peace treaty reserva-
tions, but keep them separate
from the ratification itself was put
aside indefinitely after Democra-
tic leaders had declined to as
sumo responsibility for it and Re-
publicans of all shades of opinion
had given notice they could not
accept II.
Washington, Aug. 21.-Four reser-
vations on the league of nations cove-
nam are embodied in a separate reso-
luton prepared by Senator Pittman of
Nevada, a Democratic member of the
Foreign Relations committee, for in
PRODUCTION in the senate.
Senator Pittman said the resolution
was in line with the recommendation
made to the Foreign Relations COM
mittee by President Wilson that If
reservations are to be made they
should be embodied in a separate re-
port and not in the resolution of rati-
fication, which might make new nego-
tiations necessary.
Senator Pittman said the reserva-
lions had lot been submitted to the
President. They are similar to those
proposed by a group Of seven Repub-
lican senators and deal with the right
OF withdrawal from the league, Article
10, domestic questions, and the Mon
roe Doctrine.
Committee Resumes Hearings.
With many facts developed at the
conference with President Wilson be-
fore it, the Foreign Relations COM
mittee was ready to resume consider
alton of the peace treaty.
c. Ferguson, an authority on Far
Eastern affairs, testified relative to
Shantung and related questions.
There was no indication whether
the committee would again confer with
the President.

On by Committee.

Washington, Aug. 23.-In a deter
mined effort to report the peace treaty
within ten days, the senate foreign re
lations committee suddenly interrupt
ed it's public hearings and arranged
to go to work on proposed amend
ments and reservations.
Once in the senate, the treaty is
expected to be under debate for some
weeks before final action, and com
mittee members pointed out that a
supplemental report might be filed
should it be warranted by any hear
ings held after committee action has
been taken.
Shantung Cay Come Up First.
Plans to expedite the consideration
of amendments were discussed at a
conference of Republican members oil
the committee, and they will go over
the subject again before the commit
tee session begins. 1t is likely that
among the first amendments voted
on will be one proposing to strike
out or modify the articles giving ia
pan control in Shantung province,
China.
The story of the negotiations result
ing in the Shantung provision wac
told to the committee by Prof. K. t.
Williams, who was technical adviser
to the American peace delegation. He
said he had strongly objected" to
the settlement reached, and thought
the American delegates should not
have assented to it.
Labor Provision Attached.
There was more debate on the
treaty in the senate, Senator Thomas,
Democrat, Colorado, criticising the
provision for an international labor
organization, and Senator Fall, Repub-
lican, New Mexico, taking exception to
information given the committee by
President Wilson regarding the re-
sumption of trade with Germany.
Senator Thomas expressed grave
doubt as to the wisdom Of the labor
provision and said there were articles
in the labor section which seemed to
violate the American Constitution by
delegating legislative and judicial
functions to international bodies.
No explanation was made Of the de-
cision to begin work on amendments
at once In the committee.

COMPLAINTS ARE MANY

Packers and Let Little Eel
lows Go Free.

Washington, Aug. 23.--Without
amendment, and with practically
no opposition, the house voted to
amend the Lever food control act
to extend Its provisions to include
clothing, containers Of food, fuel
or fertilizer, fuel oil and nipple
ments used In production OF ne
cessities, and to penalize prof.
teering by a $1,000 fine or two
years imprisonment.
Washington. Aug. 21.-The govern
ment intends to take drastic action
against the retail profteers Of the
country, believing they are n of the
main causes of high prices, Attorney
General A. M. Palmer told the house
agriculture committee.
1.-THE department has had more com
plants against retail. gougers than
anyone else" Mr.. Palmer said.
They are taking advantage of pres
cnt conditions to take unfair profits,
and the department desires, with the
consent of congress, to take speedy
action against them as well as all
profiteers.
Small Profteers Hunted.
1--WE don't want to pick out the big
packers and punish them alone and
then let the gougers go free. The lat
ter are the men the people come in
contact with, and we have much evil
dence to show that they are extorting
large profits"
The attorney general all through his
testimony insisted speed was essential
In his campaign against price boosters
and urged congress to extend the food
control act to include wearing apparel,
as he suggested.
Executive Price Fixing Opposed.
He opposed the plan Of Chairman
Gilbert Haugen to establish a system
of executive price fixing, claiming 1t
would require several months to build
up an organization that would deter
mine what are fair prices.
1T would be impossible to get i'm
mediate results by reviving the food
administration" Mr.. Palmer said, "or
any similar agency.
my plan tx to make conspicuous ex-
amples of some of the proiteers and
show them the government means
business. / don't believe wholesale
prosecutions will be necessary, but
we are ready to carry them out If
necessary"
The attorney general, in order to
reach the retailers, suggested that the
exemptions Of all retailers doing a
business of less than 100000 be
stricken from the federal food con
troll act.
Regarding the farmers and farm or
CARNATIONS, Mr.. Palmer said he would
exempt them from the boarding pro-
visions. as he believed they should be
allowed to hold their crops until they
desired to sell, but that he wished to
enforce the ~profteering laws against
them.
The attorney general declared that
already p~roiteering In sugar has prac-
tically been stopped by the depart
ment of Justice.

fed Attorney General Palmer that
