Two SENATOR'S IN
 HEATED COLLOQUY
rodge and Hitchcock Wrnagle in Senate Over German Peace Treaty--Few Articles of the Treaty Were Read.

Washington, Sept. 16.-- Formal
 reading of the German peace treaty
 for amendment was begun today in the Senate after a sharp parliament tarv wrangle and demand by Demo- crats for avowal from Republican Leader Lodge that the pact be kept continuously before the body. It had not been the intention of the
 opponents of the treaty to take up
 this week, as indicated by a motion 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 docu- ment had been read, drew fire from Senator Lodge by asking if in all good faith it was his purpose to expedite consideration.
 My good faith and what I intend to do is my business" Senator Lodge replied with feeling, and the crowds in the galleries leaned forward ex- pecting to see the first real fight over the treaty. Senator Hitchcock there upon again asked Senator Lodge if he intended to carry out his promise to keep the treaty before the Senate.
 q certainly do, and in my own way without any advice from the Senator from Nebraska" Senator Lodge de- clared.
 The answer was hurled by the sen ator with so much emphasis and feel ing that the galleries broke into ap- plause.
 The Democrats asked for the ayes and noes 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 withdrew his motion and the reading of the treaty was begun.
 The reading clerk had read through article three of the league covenant when he reached the amendment by Senator Johnson, Republican, Cali fornia, to equalize the vote of Great Britain and the United States.
 Senator Lodge, who, as chairman of the foreign relations committee, is in charge of the treaty, asked that the amendment be passed over, as sena- tors who desired to be heard on it were absent.
 Senators Hitchcock and Lodge then engaged in another colloquy, the lat ter reiterating that he would not at tempt by artificial means to delay

SWEET POTATO GROWERS
 WILL MEET FRIDAY

Little Rock, Sept. 17.-Replies re- ceived by J. H. Tull, state agent for marketing of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, who has called meeting of the sweet potato growers of the state for next Friday, indicate that at least 100 growers will be in attendance. The meeting will be held in the Old State House at 10 o'clock and will be presided over by Commissioner Jim Ferguson.
 This meeting has attracted much attention from out of the state, as the sweet potato crop this year is a large one and selling agencies are competing for control of it. Agent Tull declares that the Arkansas Nan cy Hall is superior to those of other states, and that if properly introduced to the people of the north and west, will soon control the market. For this purpose an advertising campaign will be inaugurated, and Arkansas Swwethearts, as the product will be known, will soon be occupying large space in metropolitan dailies.

CLOSELY SCAN
NEW SCHEDULES
OF COAL PRICES
One Operator Charged Sc
Per Ton-Prosecution.
May Result.

Washington, Dec. II. - Prices
charged by coal operators since gov
eminent control was restored be-
cause of the strike, are being scru-
tinized closely by officials Of the
railroad administration and prob
ably will be submitted to the De-
partment of Justice.
Bills being rendered by the oper-
ators are said by officials to specify
prices higher in many instances than
set by the government and investi.
cation will be made to determine
whether the increased prices are JUS
tilted by existing contracts in all
cases. 1t was specified in the order
restoring wartime prices that coal
shipped subsequent to November Is,
on contracts made prior to October
80, should be paid for at the con-
tract rate. but so much coal has been
priced at the higher rates that an
investigation has been deemed ad-
visable.
Discrepancies in prices have been
one cause, according to officials Of
the financial embarrassment Of
which the operators have been COM
planning. Reconsignment of coal. es-
pecially when shipped from the east
to the west. causing delay in pay
ment, also has been a factor.
Most of the bills submitted by the
operators for coal are said to have
averaged around SOS to $3.6s, COM
pared with government prices of
$3.50 to $2o5.
In one case, however. an operator
put in bill for coal at So ton.

Order Prosecution
flight Promoters
In Council Bluffs

County Attorney Swanson Of
Council Bluffs yesterday received a
letter from Attorney General Havner
calling attention to midwinter sport
promoters staging boxing contests
in many places throughout the state;
He cited the law that declares ali
boxing contests for purses or exhibi-
tons where an admission fee is ex-
acted come under the anti-prize fight
statutes. He asks if any such exhi-
billions had been held in Council
Bluffs and directed the county attor-
ney vigorously to prosecute all in
fractions of the law.
The penalty for all promoters and
principals is 90 days in Jail or $500
fine, and the owners of all buildings
where such exhibitions are staged
are equally liable. There is some
doubt whether the law includes pro-
fessional and amateur mat events,
but the county attorney is inclined
to believe it does not. Big holiday
events said to be contemplated for
the Auditorium may not be inter-
fered with.
Two men may strive to break
limbs and fracture spinal columns in
gladiatorial warfare on the mat and
the promoters collect big admission
ices without mourning danger from
the Iowa law, but if they stand up
with their dukes" concealed in pill
lows it means go days for everybody
implicated.

erai warrant charging profiteering in
the sale of cordwood, a violation Of

champion, by Fred Robertson, U. S.
district attorney for Kansas. Willard
will appear before o. Q. Claflin. IT,,
United States commissioner. in the
federal court in Kansas City. at 10
Saturday, Mr.. Robertson said.
The warrant was placed in the
hands of O. T. Wood, United States
marshal for Kansas, and he at once
telephoned Willard at his home near
Lawrence, Kan. Willard said over
the telephone he would appear vol
unfairly to answer the charge.
The warrant names w. o Ander-
son and J. E. Wilson, members of
a fuel committee of Topeka. Kan. as
having purchased cordwood from
Willard. 1t is alleged that Willard
asked and received $3.50 a cord for
wood on the stump from his farm
near Topeka. That amount, the dis
triet attorney asserts, is double what
it should have been.
The action against the former
champion is the result of an investi-
cation conducted by the district at
torney and Richard ]. Hopkins, at
torney general for Kansas. Attorney
General Palmer has been notified Of
the action taken, Mr.. Robertson
said.
