So much for overcrowding, which
you exaggerated and which, in the
majority of cases, is due entirely to
the choice of the patrons. They well

Col Young speaks highly Of the

in the regiment. but that this did not
dampen the spirit and the men took
their objective.
After a month on this line the reg

one Of the most bitterly fought-over

But in view of the publicity given
through the Boston case, growers are
warned TO use extreme caution this
year in wiping their apples.

Car Shortage Looms

While no car shortage has manifested
itself here yet. railroad officials state
that they are advised that no larger
supply of refrigerators is in sight. al
though the daily demands are becom-
ing much heavier. Hood River within
a week will be demanding 35 cars
daily. Although shippers here have
been assured by officials of the Rail
way Administration'of plentiful stock
of cars, officials say they are not yet in
sight.
Shippers have been urged to load
their refrigerator cars to the maxi
mum, but with the warm autumn
weather still prevailing they still load
to the minimum from here to avoid
loss from spoilage in shipment. Ship
pers who have routed cars loaded to
capacity. it is said, have suffered
losses.

shipper who holds a car an unreason-
able time will be penaized by an EN-

Washington Senators of
Both Parties Are Not
Surprised at Refusal

PARIS, June THE American dele
cation to the peace conference. headed
by President Wilson, apparently is
firm in its decision not to authorize
the publication of the German peace
treaty until it is signed, and not even
to communicate the official text in its
present form to the United States
Senate.
A member of the American delega-
ton, in discussing the complaint made
IN the Senate concerning publication
of the treaty in Germany and charges
that copies were in the hands of New
York bankers, said the delegation had
not violated the pledge made to other
powers not to give out the treaty until
it is completed, and will not do SO.
Germany Not Bound
He added that, as far as he knew,
Germany had not been requested to
keep the treaty secret. as such a re-
quest to an opponent would not be in
conformity with accepted diplomatic
practice.
The delegate. in replying to an in
quiry why the covenant Of the league
OF nations had been published, said
that, while the covenant was part of
the treaty, it does not actually deal
with the terms of peace. and. conse-
quently, is essentially of q different

Two days ago a woman limped up
the aisle of Trinity Chapel to where
James Moore Hickson stood in the

common consent others stood aside to
let her pass. There was no one else
in sight who looked so ill, so near

moving in silent prayer as she ap-
preached the healer. Desperation
rather than hope was written on her
face.
Yesterday the same woman came
down the aisle after her second treat
ment with a beatihc expression that
seemed to indicate Transformation of
some kind. AS a Tribune reporter ap-
preached her it was with an obvious
effort that she collected her thoughts
and paid attention to what was said

In Spite of Wilson

Controversy Has Sh0,Un
Up Methods at Paris
NcU York Tribure
Washington Bureau

N-'s'-|@>fs
WASHINGTON, June 7.-Adviccs
from Paris to-day indicating that Pres
ident Wilson will stand firmly against
transmitting copies Of the peace treaty
to the Senate caused no surprise either
among administration Senators or
among Republicans who most vgor-
ously urged adoption of the johnson
resolution calling for the treaty text
It was generally expected, however.
that the text of the treaty would be
available to the Senate from some
other source. Senator Borah is ex-
pecting a copy of the treaty, and he
has said he will put it in the Congress
sional Record fifteen minutes after he
receives it. Reading the $4,000 word
document into the record would take
more than thirteen hours, even if the
reading clerks were able to make 100
words a minute.
1t is recognized that the treaty text
being circulated in Germany and neu-
tral countries, and even those copies
said to be in the hands of New York
ers, are copies Of the text submitted
20 the German delegates originally a.
Versailles, and Of which summary
already has been published in THIS
country. This text may De modified
in many particulars before the Ger
mans finally afix their signatures.
Say 1t Would Be Misleading
Administration Senators contend
that the publication of the original
would be misleading, but Republicans
argue it is important that the
American people see this first draft,
even at the risk of being misled.
The opinion of Senator Lodge that
the President would not grant the de-
sire of the Senate to see the peace
treaty is considered to be confirmed
by to-day's Paris dispatches The
principal value of this weeks debate,
Senator Lodge believes, was to empha-
size the methods OF framing open COW
enants, openly arrived at, being pur-
sued in Paris, and to bring out the
fact that copies of the peace treaty
were in the possession Of men in New
York.
- The Investigation by the Foreign
Relations Committee to determine how
copies of the peace treaty came into
the possession of special interests"
in New York will get under way early
next week. The Foreign Relations
Committee will meet Monday to de-
eide whether the investigation shall
be made by the full committee, or by

While there will be no let up in run

prehension of even one person par
ticipating in the heralded demonstra-
ton will go far toward solving the
whole series of bomb plots.
Precautionary measures have been
taken by the police. Every police cap

WASHINGTON, June ALI hope of

would be repealed by Congress before
1t becomes effective July I, was aband-
oned tonight, when it was learned that
the Republican steering committee Of
the House and Senate in laying out the
months programme in joint conference
to-day, failed to give the repeater q
place on the schedule.
Congress has three weeks left in
which it might comply with President
Wilson's request that war time prohi-
bition on wine and beer be rescinded,
but all its time was allotted by the
steering committee to-day to the pas
sage Of appropriation bills.
Representative Claude Kitchin. next
in command of the Democratic forces
in the House, let it be known to-day
that, although a Prohbitionst, he
would support the wine and beer re-
pealer if 1t came to a vote chiefly to
comply with the Presidents suggestion
While many conflicts between Con
gress and the Presde are in pros
pect, there is every indication that
harmony and cooperation between the
House and Senate will mark the pres
ent session.

passage of all appropriation bills which
failed at the last session by the House
before June Is, and by the Senate be
