ATTACK LODGE
IN TREATY TIGHT
Individual Minoriay Report Filed
By Senator McCumber
VOTED WITH DEMOCRATS
Says Majority Report is Selfish
Immoral and Dishonor-
able
Ru The Associated Preas.

By The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15-Re1ec-
tion of all proposed amendments to
the German peace treaty and modifi-
strong reservations, were urged IN
an individual minority report filed
with the senate today by Senator Nc
Cumber, Republican, North Dakota,
next in rank on the foreign relations
committee to Chairman Yodge. Sem
ator McCumber did not join in the
recent Republican majority report,
and voted with the Democrats on
amendments and several reservations.
Attacking the majority report OIL
Chairman Lodge, Senator McCumber
denounced most of the majority
amendments as Selfish" immoral
and dishonorable and charged that
they seek to isolate the United States
from the rest of the world and aban-
don our allies"
Scoring the committee reservation
to Article X, of the League of Ma
tions covenant, Senator McCumber
said it really Is an amendment pure
and simple and designed to take the
United States entirely out Of the
league.
Special opposition was expressed by
Senator McCumber to the proposed
amendment to the Shantung pro-
vision. BY this amendment, he said,
Japan would be "kicked out" of the
League by the United States and
Shatung possibly lost to China.
Analysing the committee amend-
ment, he said that the amendments to
give the United States equal votes In
the league with England and the
British colonies was unnecessary
The plan of giving dach nation one
vote without regard to size. or imp
tance was the only possible plan. he
argued, adding that to all intents and
purposes, the British colonies are in
| dependent.
He said his only objection to the
Lodge reservations on withdrawal
from the league was on form. AS to
| the Lodge reservations to Article *.
| he said he had many objections. With
his report Senator McCumber submits
ted the 9th reservation he champions
ed as substitute for the committee res
servations. These recently was made
public.

NO TROUBLE IN
ZONE SYSTEM
No Noticeable Interruption in
This City's Service
WAS VERY LITTLE DIFFICULTY
What Confusion Resulted Was
Smoothed Over -y Trolley
Company

Without any perceptible Interrupt
ton in the regular service the new
zoi system that is being tried out by
under the sanction of the State Board
of Public Utilities Commissioners,
was ushered in yesterday.
According to the statement made
by Public Service official having
charge of the cars in this district
there was very little difficulty in put
confusion there was appeared to have
been smoothed over by the trolley
crews.
The trolley patrons had evidently
resigned themselves quietly to their
fate or the rulings of the Public
Service Commission, for so far as in
dividual opposition went there were
no fights on the trolleys. The police
reported no breaches of the peace
pitfalls as the results of arguments
over the length of zones, rate of
fares or other matters.
What little delay there was usually
occurred at the entrance where the
motorman is required to give the
patrons zone tickets. Such delays
were not longer than those formerly
caused by the method of collecting
fares at the rear under old pay-as-
you-enter system.
The actual paying of the fares was
made more convenient If anything
for 1t was not necessary to have the
change ready until leaving the car
instead Of having to have 1t In the
hand while boarding as was former
ly the case.
The trolleys were provided at front

MotorYnen Have Kick.

NEWARK. Sept. 15-After twenty
four hours of the new traction zoning
system. designed for the purpose OF
increasing fares. the riding public OF
towns In northern New Jersey did not
complain Of the new order of things
half as much as the motormen on
the cars.
The motormen's complaint is THAT
under the zoning plan passengers en-
ter at the front of the car, receive o
ticket from the motorman. and 1eave
by the rear, giving up the ticket and
paying the proper fare to the conduc-
tor. The motormen assert the distri-
button of these tickets gives them
too much work to do.
All the lines Of the Public Service
Corporation In the State. except those
in Atlantic City and Camden, are af-
fected by the order, but reports from
Jersey City, Newark, Hackensack,
Passaic Paterson and other northern
localities show there was little con-
fusion among motormen and conduc-
tors that most of the lines ran an
hour or more behind their schedules.
