Chairman Will H. Hays of the Re-

"The situation regarding the league

must retain our full control of imni

right to withdraw from the league at
any time without hindrance or condi-

Hurry Swing
Around Circle
Plans to Arrange Hours for
Conferences With Con-
gressional Callers and
Press Representatives

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Intimation
that the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mlttee might not arrange for an early
conference with President Wilson for
discussion of the peace treaty and the
league of nations covenant led to the
suggestion to-day that Mr.. Wilson
might begin his tour of the country
sooner than he had planned.
Fixing of the itinerary for the
Swing around the circle" was under
stood to have been delayed to await
completion of the committees pro-
gramme in order that there might be
no conflict The committee met again
to-day and, laying aside temporarily
the question of asking for more infor-
nation, began reading Of the official
text of the treaty submitted by the
President.
Adhinistrati Senators believe the
President and the committee will be
brought together to discuss some feat
ures of the treaty, and that these
meetings will be at the White House.
This opinion was strengthened by the
announcement at the White House to-
day that Senators and representatives
who desire to confer with the President
will have more opportunities in the
future to see him. 1t was said the
President was trying to set aside from
10 a. m. to noon of certain DAYS for
Congressional visitors.
The new system will not do away with
the practice of making appointments in
advance, but some method is to be
worked out SO Senators and Representa-
tives may have free access to the Presi-
dent
Tomorrow will be the first day that
the "open house" plan will be put into
effect. While number of appoint
ments have been made, it was said al
the White House to-day that the hours
between 10 and II o'clock had been left
open for members of both branches OF
Congress.
Plans also are under consideration al
the White House for continuation Of
the weekly conferences between the
President and newspaper men, which
were resumed when Mr.. Wilson gave q
half hour to representatives Of tht
press last Thursday.

WASHINGTON, July 15.--A mans
right to keep liquor in his own home,
which stood the test before the House
Judiciary Committee, must take its
chances now IN the House.
Notice was served to-day on the COM
mittee by one of it's members that when
the House resumes consideration of the
amendment would be offered to make
it unlawful for a person to retain pos
session of liquor stored prior to July /.
The committee, in framing the general
enforcement measure, eliminated the
section which would have made home
storage illegal, but the big majority
polled yesterday by the prohibitionists
was accepted in some quarters to mean
that the bill in certain respects will be
made still more drastic
The prohibition amendment was not
taken up to-day, the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill. vetoed by the Presi-

Democrat, of Massachusetts, charging
that members of Congress had boarded
large quantities of liquor. Speaker

the mass of wreckage floated on the
surface and burned for some hours
afterward.
A heavy thunderstorm was raging at
the time, and the supposition is that

of ten or twelve persons, but according
to the latest reports there were only
two officers and five men aboard at the

PRIEST TRIED ON
SED|T|ON CHARGE
Accused of Reasonable Utter.
ances Against British Gov
eminent.

LONDON. Nov. 26.-Charged with
making seditious utterances. the Rev.
Father O'Donnell. a chaplain in the
Australian forces, was arraigned be-
fore a court-martial today at Guild
Hall. He pleaded not guilty.
Father ODonnell is accused of say
ing in a speech at Killarney that 'the
Australians fought for the independ-
ence of small nations, while inde-
pendence was denied Ireland by a few
satellites of the King who were filling
their pockets at the expense of the
workers and on whose heads was the
blood of Irish patriots"
Lieutenant Chambers. of the Brit
ish army, presented notes in support
of the charge against the chaplain.
1t was declared that Father ODonnell
had further said that he considered
"a king and royal family of no use to
this or any other country" and ex-
pressed hope that the recent railway
strike was the beginning of a revo-
luton.
The accused was charged with say
ing that King George, evidently fear
ing the same (revolution). ordered
the premier to auash the strike.
Another specification in the charges
was that Father ODonnell had pre-
dicted that Ireland would shortly
strike against the tyrannical British
Parliament"
The chaplain was also charged with
saying that sympathy with the Sim
Feiners was growing in Australia
Father O'Donnell was arrested In
August.

SEVEN CENT FARES
ADD $4,000 WEEKLY
Additional Revenues Do Not Reach
Anticipated Figures of
Utilities Commission.

Figures given out today by the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company and Capital Traction Com
pany show that approximately $4,000
additional a week is being earned as
a result of the 7-cent, six-for-a-quar-
ter fare on street cars.
On the lines of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company last
week $1OO,31626 was collected, which
was an increase OF $14 4,474.40 over the
receipts of the preceding week.
On the lineSof the Capital Traction
S99, ,6S7 was collected last week, COM
pared with $92, 2,092 the same week In
October.
The Washington Railway has de.
rived s2s,3S254 additional revenue
since November l. Continuing at this
rate until May 1 will net the company
$50s,297 additional income, while the
Public Utilities Commission esti-
mated $S50,000 additional should be
received
The w. r. & E. carried 1.5s1,42l
passengers last week, which is a de-
crease of more than 100000 for the
same week in October.
The Capital Traction passengers
numbered 1.55s,420, compared with
$1,72s,3s4 the same week in October
There seems to be a general de-
crease in the number of passengers
and 2-cent transfers. An increase Is
noted in revenue and free transfers
issued.

FIGHT ON TREATY
COMING IN ITALY
Socialists and Catholics Plan
Opposition to Approval
of Pact.

ROME, Nov. 20 (delayed).-A hard
fight against ratification of the peace
treaty. which may precipitate a crisis
involving existence of the monarchy,
was indicated here today.
Socialist and Catholic deputies, in
the recently elected chamber, will
combine to defeat the pact. it was
said. The signal for the fight was
expected to be production in the
Champer of Deputies of a royal de-
cree ratifying the treaty, for conver-
sion into a law.
Both the Catholics and Socialists,
who exhibited unusual strength in the
recent election, have opposed the
treaty from the beginning.
Awaited With Misgiving.
The coming session of the chamber
is awaited with misgiving. There is
no precedent in Italian history for re-
lection of a royal decree. especially a
peace treaty. The treaty right Is a
constitutional perogative of the crown.
Should the Socialist plans succeed,
the outcome of such a solemn dis
avowal of the Kings wishes prac-
tically would necessitate his abdica-
ton, in the belief of many Italian
leaders.
Whether the Catholics will be will
ing to support the Socialists in a fiat
showdown against the King is consid-
cred doubtful by many. On the other
hand, 1t is considered certain they
will maintain unfiagging opposition
to the Versailles treaty, which it was
said, the Holy See considers contains
the source of new wars.

SILVER "CARTWHEES"
ARE NOW WORTH Sl.O5
Metal Quoted At $1.37 Cents An
Ounce-China Willing To
Buy Vast Quantity.

Treasury officials are not concerned
with attempting to find means Of pre-
venting the conversion of silver
money into bullion, despite the high
price of silver. it was stated today
Officials of the Treasury stated that
at even the high rate of silver the
process of melting silver money would
be expensive and would not warran,
such an operation.
Yesterday silver was quoted at 81. 81
an ounce, making the American cart
wheel worth 81. .o5 each. The advance
in the metal is said to be due TO the
enormous demands from China, which
is normally the greatest silver con-
suming country in the world. China
is demanding more and more silver,
and at present Chinese interests are
showing a willingness to outbid all
other sources of demand and to buy
as much as 15.00o, 900 ounces a month.
Not only in the United States, but
throughout the whole world silver
now commands a predominant posi-
tion, rising, evidently, even higher in
demand than gold. Treasury officials
