c8Il refusing unanimous consent for
publication
Hitchcock Quizzes Borah.
In the discussion in the foreign re-
Iations committee Senator Borah was
asked by Senator Hitchcock:
Have you any reason to believe
which copy was seen by Senator
Lodge?"
Il have my opinion but 1,o7-~-,'t
any real information" Mr.. Borah re-
Piled. Il don't think any of these
men showed their copy to Senator
Lodge"
Rrandegee Pipes Up.
Senator Brandegee, republican, Of
Connecticut, read from the recent
speech by Senator Hitchcock in which
the Nebraskan said if Senator Lodge
held copy of the treaty in his hand
it either was a stolen document or had
been obtained by bribery. The Con-
necticut senator said he never had had
the audacity to say the administration
or any OF its agents can be bribcd and
added that when the investigation had
been started he hoped Senator Hitch
cock would either withdraw his infer
ence or make good his charge.
Lodge Tells His Tale.
Senator Lodge then took the stand
and in a brief statement told of hay
ing seen Il copy Of the treaty in the
possession of a friend in New York.
This friend, he continued, told him
that ne knew four copies of the treaty
were in New York. Neither this
friend or another friend who offered
copy had any connection with finan-
cial interests, Seator Lodge said.
Replying to questions by Senator
not think it would be honorable" for
him to disclose the names of the men
who had copies of the treaty.
Treaty Terms Are Common.
Declaring that several newspapers
today had printed $4,000 words of the
treaty, Senator Brandegee said except
in the senate copies of the document
ARE as common in this country as
huckleberries.
Senator Knox. republican, Pennsyl-
vania, declared Senator Lodge had
given all the information possible and
that what he withheld was a matter
of highest senatorial privilege and
personal honor
Polk Takes the Stand
Acting Secretary Polk said he had
first<received the text of the treaty by
cable and estimated it was about so
per cent. complete.
IT received one copy, by special
courier, about May 10 he continued.
Later 1 received ten copies by special
courier and since then a package of
copies by pouch (maiD."
He was positive the copies shown in
! the United States could not have come
from the state department as they
were locked in a safe.
