SENATE DECLINES TO
 APPROVE APPOINTMENT

Washington, July 22-An emphatic negative was returned by the senate President Wilson's request that it ap- prove provisional appointment of an American repres entative on the inter national reparations commission with out awaiting ratification of the peace treaty
 While the president was renewing his talks with republican senators at the White House and the senate was beginning another day of speech making on the treaty, the committee adopted a resolution declaring that mo power. exists to execute provi sions of the treaty in advance of it's ratification.
 The resolution was presented by Senator Knox, republican. Pennsylva- mia. and was substituted by an eight to seven vote for another expressing no opinion as to the presidents pow . rto act.
 Later, in the senate, Senator Moses of New Hampshire. republican mem Der of the committee, pointed out dur ing an address opposing the treaty that the separations commission would continue until 1851 and would exercise drastic powers. In that con- nection, Chairman Lodge suggested that its powers even might extend to efTecting acts of war against Germany but which Germany agreed before hand should not be so considered.
 Tn a speech supporting the league, Senator McNary, Oregon, said he would oppose amendments which would send the covenant back for re- negotiation. though he could see no ob- lection to explanatory reservations de- signed to clarify its provisions.
 The league also was supported by Senators Johnson. Soth Dakota, and Bcckham, Kentucky, both democrats, the former declaring ms only objec- tion was that the covenant did not go far enough in forcing maintenance of peace and the latter urging that 1t at least must be given atrial and could be perfected later.
 The republicans who saw President Wilson during the day were Senators Edge. New Jersey; Calder. New York, and Cummins, Iowa. The conference es are understood to have followed the general lines of those of Ia st week.

ANOTHER VERSION OF
 THE "BETRAYAL" STORY

New York, July 22.-Another yer l sion of how the American army was aided by the two mysterious German | prisoners of war who arrived here | yesterday from France and who now are being held at Hoboken pending re- ceipt of orders from Washington to | send them to the national capital, was obtained tonight from a non-co -commis% stoned officer, formerly attached to the l intelligence branch of the field army staff.
 According to this "non-com. the i two prisoners, who were brought here
 under the names of Alfred Scholz and Alvin Grothe. received sum of mon ey from the United States government and were housed and fed with the enr l listed men at field headquarters. Wearing German uniforms. they used to mingle with prisoners captured by the Americans awaiting transporta- tion to the rear and after conversinE
 with these prisoners were able to in form American officers whether in- format tion obtained from them under
 examination was correct.
 This non commissioned onicerr who wished his name withheld, said he distinctly remembered one case in which Scholz showed the Americans German officer had lied to them. q remember it particularly, for the punishment we gave the officer" he said. Tt was German major. Scholz | dressed as a lieutenant discovered the
 major had lied. Yepr know we. used
 to threaten the officers and men that | if they lied they would be shot, though we could not carry out our threat Tn this case the major was hauled up out of bed and taken before Amer ican officers. Some German privates were led into the same room. Then after the major had been accused of lying, his insignia of rank was strip
 ped from his uniform while the priv
 ates looked on and he was sent to the cage for enlisted men for the night.
 The next day he was detailed, like an enlisted man, for the dirtiest jobs
 around headquarters.
 We had to be careful that Scholz's
 activities should not be discovered by
 the Germans. In one instance. we
 had a man in the cages. and the na-
 ture of his work was discovered by
 the other prisoners. They killed him
 before daylight with their bare
 hands. We never left Scholz in
 cage after dark.
 T have no idea of what either pris-
 oner is going to do in this country
 now. I do know they are desperately
 afraid of being killed by German se-
 cret service agents or by other Ger
 mans here. Scholz time and time
 again expressed a fear that he would
 not live long after 0eace."

LEGATION AT BRUSSELS
 RAISED TO EMBASSY

Washington, July p President Wilson's recommendation that the American legation at Brussels, Bel giurn, be raised to the rank of em- hassy was approved unanimously to- day by the senate foreign relations committee.
 In his letter to congress transmit ting his recommendation, President Wilson said:
 You will no doubt have noticed that France and Italy have recently taken this action, and it is authorita- lively announced that Spain and Bra gil will follow their example. It would be, it seems to me, a very proper thing at this time to show our deep interest, at the conclusion of the war, in the little nation in which so many of the causes of the war seemed to center and whose cause indeed will always seem one of the most striking evidences of the interruptions action of Germany"

 Because of the importance of the question in connection with the en= forcement of the wartime prohibition act, court officials expect the govern- ment to ask that the case be eXpe- dited Unless this were done de- cision probably would not be handed down until after prohibition by com stitutional amendment became enec- five

 Of Balloon Disaster

 Lieutenant Thomas Atkinson. pur- chasing agent for the Motor Trans port Corps. U. s. A. was inclined to believe a 1eaky valve was responsible and that static electricity caused com bustion.
 Montford Morrison, a member of the coroner's jury and a technical ex- pert, who examined the broken mo- tors. suggested that he found all ex- hausts open and that sparks there from may have ignited the gas bag.
 Assistant States Attorney Lowry, asked the chief of police to take into custody two officials of the local of fees of the Goodyear company for questioning. Their names were not divulged.
 The first session of the inquest was marked by the refusal of Pilot Boett- ner and his chief. MT. Young, to tes- tify. Their refusal was on the ad- vice of counsel representing the com pany.
 While the coroner's double jury composed of six business men and SIX technical experts, were hearing first testimony, the corporation counSelS office was engaged in drafting an or dinance regulating flying over the city.
 The twelfth victim of the calamity was Milton G. Norton, a photogra pher for a morning paper, who died today. His parachute ignited as he leaped from the machines gondola and he fell in the street. As death approach ed he murmured that he hoped his camera and plates had not been dam aged.
