.SBNA TOR KELLOGG
BLAMBS PR ESIDBNl.
CONDEMNS EQUATORIAL STAND.
OF WILSON IN REGARD
TO TREATY.
TREATY, WITH RESERVATIONS,
SHOULD HAVE BEEN RAJ
TILTED, HE SAYS.

''The Republicans Americanized the
treaty. The Democrats killed it, =
This is the statement today Of Sena-
tor Frank B. Kellogg, who arrived in
st. Paul for a short stay before the
opening Of the regular session Of Con-
gress the first Of next month.
Senator Kellogg said he believed that
many Democratic senators were in favor
Of the reservations which had been
proposed by the friends Of the treaty
who wanted to see it made safe for the
American people, but voted against it
because President Wilson SO dictated.
Friends Prepared Reservations.
ss"I regret exceedingly that the treaty
was not ratified with It's reservations, Z Z
said Senator Kellogg Many Of the
Republicans worked earnestly to ac-
complish this object. These reserva-
tons, which were adopted by large
majority Of the Senate, were .prepar-
ed, not by the members of the foreign
relations committee, but by friends Of
the treaty, and were fair, reasonable,
protected American rights and Ameri-
can interests, and did not destroy the
treaty nor the League Of Nations.
'.At the end, the American League
to Enforce Peace, including Mr.. Taft.
President Lowell of Harvard and the
men who so earnestly worked for the
treaty, Endorsed all the reservations
and urged ratification with them maxi
ing only one suggestion, that the form
OF the preamble be changed, and if that
had been satisfactory to the Democrats,
we would have been willing to agree to
it. The only difference on this, point
was, instead Of having it accepted by
our Allies by exchange Of notes, to have
the acceptance by eq,iescence.
Only Reserved Rights.
SIS For months the treaty friends
on the Republican side advised the
President and the Democratic leader
that reservations, in substance like
those passed, would have to be adopt
ed, not only to ratify the treaty, but
to make it safe and satisfactory to the
American people. But they have all
insisted, as the President has, that the
treaty must be taken without the dot
ting Of an '.ii' or the crossing Of 1t t.. =
The Republican friends of the treaty
day after day voted against every amend
ment which would necessitate sending
it back to Germany, only voting for
reservations which would not require
that, simply reserying certain rights to
the American people.
Wilson'S Attitude Blamed.
In the main, these reservations
are what the President claimed the
treaty meant in any event. If that
was SO, there was no reason for OBJ.
lection except the Presidents arbi-
trary attitude that what he hads done
must not be changed or defined. AS
a matter Of fact, in my judgment,

Bessemer, April 2s.-(SpeciaL) Miss Alma. Catron, aged 3S years, trained nnrse at the Elizabeth Duncan hos nital. committed suicide by swallow inc carboHc acid early Friday night. The poison was taken in the sterilizinS room on the third floor, between three and four ounces of the acid being taken. after which Miss Catron walked into her room and was dead within l0 minutes. Her condition was noticed by the nurses, and an antidote was given, while pr. R. w. Waldrop and Dr. T. C. Donald were being summoned, but the efforts of the doctors and nurses to save the woman's life were of no avail.
 The action of Miss Catron was great surprise and shock to the nurses at the hospital as they had not mo- tice6 any despondeney on her part, and could ascribe no reason for the act. Upon arrival of relatives Saturday 1t is learned that mental troubles were hereditary, and members of her familN were not altogether unprepared for the news of her death, a previous attempt having been made to take her lie at the Hillman hospital. Deputy Coroner F. NJ Parsons pronounced the death or Miss Catron as an unmistakable Case of suicide.
 The remains were taken to the resi- dence of Mrs. E. M. owens, 1916 F1tta

MANY CHURCH DEBTS PAID

Notwithstanding the many calls that have been made on the citizens Of Besse mer for financial assistance dur ing the war. an unprecedented record has been made for giving to religious causes outside of the war relief work. A few months ago members of the Presbyterian church raised 5000 in one days subscriptions and paid off the indebtedness of the church building.
 A few months later the members of the First Baptist church conducted financial campaign. which resulted in raising $10,000. with which the church building debt was liduidated and a home was purchased for the pastor. Before that campaign was hardly closed Dr. W. P. Price, the pastor, re- quested a donation of 5000 for mis- sons. and the members of his con greeaton responded with almost 5000.
 A few weeks ago a campaign was started to make the final payment on the handsome First Methodist church building, and within week S15,000 was paid into the treasury to be ap- piled to the building debt When the building was erected it was prophe- for the church, but the building has and on Sunday, May 4, the church will be dedicated
 pr L. c. Branscomb, who was the first Methodist pastor of Bessemer, will preach the dedication sermon at II o'clock Sunday morning. Dinner vii! be served at the church, and an aft ernoon service, at which the Rev. George R. Stuart will preach. will be held

Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York, April 26.--Trading has been very heavy today with rather feverish condition in prices. Royal Dutch has made a big advance and Mexican Petroleum equal decline. and so it goes through the list. although there was an advancing tendency in the general list in the last hour due to more favorable reports from abroad. The first German delegates are arriving in Paris, and we are evidently coming to the final chapter of the negotiations unless Italy works itself up to some radical action which does not seem probable. Once the peace treaty if ready for signature it is very doubt full if any nation will take the respon- sibility of reopening the situation with it's dangers. It is this that the market is discounting, and which makes it so strong. It looks to us as if it were running to continuation for the time being on the completion of this event. Post & Flagg.

 New Orleans. April 26.-But for the checking effect of two days holiday ahead and disturbing political news the market might have made a sensa. tional response to the array of bullish trade news. facts and influences.
 PefhapS the most dlrect influence III bringing about the sharp advance of 30 points at the opening of the mar ket today was the bullish developments overnight. A strong cold wave came on the Atlantic territory, establishing temperatures as low as 30 degrees in North Carolina and parts of Tennessee. and 3S degrees in North Georgia.
 Indications are for clear, cold weather in Atlantics. with tempera- .ures below 4O in South Georgia prob- ably general frost This cold spell will materially increase the lateness of the season over that territory.
 The outlook is more favorable for the west where unsettled rainy weather is likely over Sunday. Rain is needed in Arkansas after dry spell of 10 days.
