 Relief Trains Start State machinery for relief of storm suffers was completed late Tuesday by Governor Hobby, who ordered units of the Texas national guards to relieve federal troops at Corpus Christi as quickly as transportation could be ar- ranged. The governor issued a proc- lamation urging prompt contributions of money and supplies to the relief fund.
 Three relief trains reached Corpus Christi Tuesday with food, bedding, clothing and medical supplies and three trains are en route. Two relief trains were reported stalled by washouts at Alice Texas.
 Seven scout airplanes were ordered from Kelly field, San Antonio, to go to Corpus Christi and find suitable landing fields for larger planes, which may be used to transport supplies from stalled trains into the city. The scouting planes were also under in- strvctions to endeavor to get news from Port Aransas and Rockport.
 Latest estimates placed the prop erty loss in Corpus Christi at s10,000, 900 and meagre advices indicated the damage at Port Aransas would be very heavy. Destruction in the lower part of the business section and along the North Beach at Corpus Christi was reported as 'indescribable."

Boston Bremen Refuse To Go Out In Sympathy With Police

BOSTON, Sept. 16.-The outstanding developments today in the situation resulting from the police strike was the declaration of the city's firemen that they would remain on duty. The vot- ing of unions affiliated with the former policement on the question of support ing the latter continued methodically and there was doubt of the outcome. Officials realized the danger still con- fronting the city but hailed with satis- faction the attitude of the fire fight CTS.
 Immediately upon learning of the action of the firemen's union, Governor Coolidge addressed a letter to Fire Commissioner John R. Murphy saying:
 Tt is with a great deal of satisfac- ton that I am informed that the men in your department have taken pre- cisely the stand which I am sure they and an overwhelming preponderance of our citizens would take, in the de- cision to remain at their posts and perform their duty of providing for the public safety.

he has secretly put on us before we act on any.
 You see today a propaganda around the land saying to us, you must hurry; you must immediately adopt this docu- ment. The United States senate is taking too long. You must not wait another minute; you are going to have your business affected; you are going to have the high cost of living run even higher; you are going to lose profits that might be yours unless the United States senate acts at once,'
 Old, Old Story
 Tt is the old, old story; it is the old, old way of endeavoring to bully and bludgeon into action and get this thing passed before you know and be- fore the American people know what it means.
 Why not tell the American people :? That's what I want to know.
 After all, my friends, this govern ment doesn't belong to one man, even if he is the president. It belongs to you and it belongs to me; it belongs to your sons and my sons. And if we go to fight, rebel and revolt that in this nation today the destinies of a hundred million people should be in one mans hands. who secretly, after promising us again and again that sec recy should never obtain, secretly is disposing of your blood and mine. I demand that your sons and mine shall live, not under a dictator, or a man who takes to himself the disposal of our blood in secrecy, but under a con- stitution and under laws that we our selves shall make

LONDON, SEPT. 16.-The ps-ss association has issued the following, apparently authorized state rsenf from Downing street, where Pret mier Lloyd George returned to1 night:

 "ln the opinion of the prdlnfe3 some of the statements are st r7S dicuIous as to carry their rowH refutation on the face of them, as, for example the suggestion of an intention to send Lord Lansdowne to Russia as ambassador.
 "But, apart from examples oflgthis kind, the suggestion is that the nar- rator's memory was hopelessiy at fault. While it is not suggested that MT. BulIitt did not talk with the premier, it is categoricaliy de- nied that any statement was given for publication and the whole ac- count is authoritatively declared to be absolutely inaccurate in impor- tant particulars and grotesque."

 DEBATE STARs
Lodge Heatedly States He
 Will Keep Promise and Asks Advice from No One
 Visitors Applaud Stand

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 - Formal reading of the German peace treaty for amendment was begun late today in the senate after a sharp parlia mentary wrangle and demand by dem. ocrats for an avowal from republican Leader Lodge that the pact be kept continually before the body.
 It had not been the intention of op. ponents of the treaty to take it up this week, as was indicated by a mo- tion of Senator Shoot, republican Utah, to consider other legislation after a four hour discussion. Senator Hitch cock of Nebraska, leader of the ad- ministration forces, insisting the treaty was emergency business and pointing out not one line of the document had been read drew fire from Senator Lodge by asking if in all good faith it was his purpose to expedite con sideration.
 My good faith and what I intend to do is my business, Senator Lodge re- piled with feeling, and the crowds in the galleries leaned forward expecting the first real fight over the treaty.
 Senator Hitchcock thereupon again asked Senator Lodge if he intended to carry out his promise and keep the treaty before the senate.
 Asks No Advice
 'T certainly do and in my own way without advice from the senator from Nebraska, Senator Lodge declared.
 The answer was hurled by the sem ator with so much emphasis and feel ing that the galleries broke into ap- plause, which led the discussion to the conduct of the crowds coming out daily to hear it
 President pro tempore Cummins de clared that while visitors had been permitted to applaud at the end of an address, in violation of the standing rules of the senate, they would not be permitted to show partisan feeling by noisy demonstrations. Senator Hitch cock said the galleries generally were not aware of the rule until it had been broken, and Senator Williams, demo- crat, Mississippi, insisted the rule ought to be abolished so that visitors could give expression to their feelings.
 The democrats asked for the ayes and nays on the Shoot motion to take up other business, and this was met from the republican side by the claim that there was no quorum. Before the count was announced Senator Shoot with | drew his motion and reading of the (Continued on Page Six)

President Creets California Crowd On Journey South

ON BOARD PRESIDENT WIL- SONS SPECIAL TRAIN, Sept 16.- President Wilson today spent the en- tire day travelling without interruption for the first time since he started on his tour of the country in the interest of the peace treaty and the league cov- enant two weeks ago tomorrow.
 As the train wound its way through the Siskiyou mountains in southern Oregon and northern California en route to San Francisco, the president devoted much of his time to rest in preparation for two full days in the city by the Golden Gate, but took oc- casion to catch up with some of his correspondence.
 A few short stops were made at vari- ous points along the route in Oregon and California, the president appeared with Mrs. Wilson on the rear platform of the car Mayflower and chatted and shook hands with crowds. The presi- dent was cheered repeatedly whenever he faced a crowd.
 The California line was crossed shortly after o'clock this afternoon and the president was in the home state of Senator Hiram Johnson, one of the leading opponents of the league of nations covenant
 At Hornbrook, California, a few miles from the Oregon border, the president got his first glimpse of Cali fornia crowds and at the station to meet him were school children carry ing flags. Led by their teachers they made a picture as they filed past the nations chief executive to receive a handclasp or a pat on the head.
 During the day the president com pleted his reply to number of ques- tions submitted to him by various labor organizations relating to dis puted sections of the peace treaty. It is understood that among other things the question involve the Shan tung provision, the possible effect of the league on the Irish situation and their representation of the British colonies in the league assembly. MT. Wilson's reply will be made public to- morrow. The president also selected today the men who are to represent the general public in the conference of labor and capital to be held in Wash ington next month, but their names were withheld. It became known that after he granted a hearing to a dele- gation of labor men in Seattle last Sunday he received requests for simi- lar hearings from groups of men in Portland. Los Angeles and San Fran cisco. He did not grant hearing in Portland and it is not considered likely that he will do so in the two California cities.
