A bitter fight was waged against
the proposals by dry elements.
especially delegates from Seattle,
who based their arguments on the
benefits they said their city had
found through prohibition, but it
was carried by an overwhelming
vote of 26,475 to 4,005. The voting
is proportional to the membership

The resolution will be sent to
President Wilson and congress.
Nearly all the big labor organiza
tions of the country voted for the
resolution. The blacksmiths, spin
ners, stereotypers and delegates of
the teachers federation of America,
all voted against it. The boiler
makers and iron shipbuilders, the
longshoremen and the typographical

Immediately after the passage of
the resolution, another was offered
providing that \the convention
should suspend its session Saturday
in order that the delegates might go
to Washington on special train to
participate in the great demonstra-
ton to be held in front of the cap

time prohibition. This resolution
was adopted almost unanimously,
the delegation from Seattle being
the only one to vote against it.
At the outset, the resolution dis

REPLY TO
GERMANY
EXPECTED
BY FRIDAY
Teutons Will Be Given Five
Days Limit for Final AC-
ton; Austrian Treaty
SidetraCked.

Paris, June 11.-Distinct progress
was reported tonight on the reply of
the allied and associated govern
ments to the German counter pro-
posals, and indications are that the
reply will be ready for delivery on
Friday.
The Germans will be given five
days limit for final action, which
would therefore come on or before
June 18.
The main feature of this progress
was an agreement regarding the
reparation terms, which have been
the subject of a sharp controversy
during the past 10 days.
As finally adopted, the terms do
not fix the definite amount of rep
arations but the commission is re-
quired to fix the amount within four
months of the signing of the treaty.
The revised terms clear away
much that was open to the construc-
ton of being vexatious.
Final action on Germany's re-
quest for admission to the league
of nations has not yet been reached,
but the discussion is declared to be
tending toward an accord.
The Silesian question, which has
given difficulty, also has virtually
been settled.
Austrian Treaty Sidetracked.
Little progress is being made in
the drafting of the missing articles
of the treaty with Austria, owing to
the greater urgency Of completing
negotiations with the Germans. One
American official who is working on
the Austrian treaty, when asked to-
day when the rest of the summary
would be available, replied:
There may not be any more. The
Austrians have more now apparent
ly than they are able to sign"
The same waiting attitude is OBJ
served regarding the Hungarian
treaty, parts of which are identical
with the German and Austrian
treaty and already are in print. A
tentative draft of the frontiers of
Hungary has been prepared for sub
mission to the council of four but
there is no expectation that the
council will begin serious considera
ton of the Hungarian settlement
until the expected changes in the
Austrian and German pacts are out
of the way.
The reply to the German counter
proposals agreed upon by the peace
conference heads refuses the Ger
man request for a mandate for the
former German colonies, it was
learned today.

PROBE OF FLEAK
ON PEACE PACT
"FLIVVERS" OUT
Elihu Root Testifies He
Showed Copy of Treaty
to Senator Lodge.

Washington, June 11.-How the
peace treaty reached private hands
in New York and thus stirred up a
sensation in the senate was estab-
lished Wednesday at a two-hour
hearing before the foreign relations
committee.
Senator Lodge revealed that the
copy he saw was shown him by
Elihu Root, a former secretary of
state. Mr.. Root told the commit
tee he got it from Henry P. Davi-
son, member of the Morgan bank
ing house and head of the Red
Cross, and Mr.. Dawson in turn tes-
tilted it was given him in Paris by
Thomas w. Lamont, another Nor
gan partner attached to the Amer
'ican peace mission.
]. P. Morgan and Frank A. Van
derlip, retiring president of the Ma
tional City bank, also before the
committee, said they never had seen
copy.
With that the committee al-
journed, without setting a date to
continue the hearing and with metia-
bers on both sides of the treaty con-
troversy saying privately that the
investigation was over.
Not Used in Financial Way.
Mr.. Dawson said he secured the
copy to clear up the status of the
Red Cross under the league of ma
tons, and never had used it in a
financial way. He had shown it to
no one except Mr.. Root, he contin-
ued, and had sent it to him because
he knew the former secretary was

The Bee Asked to Help
Boy Scout Committee
in Its Drive for Funds

As the campaign for funds for
the Boy Scouts draws to a close the
members of the committee find that
they will be unable to see hundreds
of prospects who are undoubtedly
willing to contribute to this cause.
In order to assist in the move The

the committee.
Mail subscriptions for 81 or more
can be sent to the Boy Scout COM
mittee direct by mail or mailed in
care of The Bee, and will be trans
mitted to the committee.
This plan will give everyone an
opportunity to aid this cause. The

Peroxide Blondes In Hen House.
Many exhibitors of white fowls
bleach the plumage of their birds with
peroxide Of hydrogen and ammonia.
They mix in a china bowl solution
Of three parts Of peroxide of hydrogen
and one part of ammonia. A clean
muslin cloth is dipped in the solution
and the bird Is wrapped In It. The mus
lin is next covered with oiled silk or
some waterproof cloth to confine the
fumes Of the bleaching gas. The per-
oxide-ammonia solution can be sponged
on the plumage or sprayed with an at
omizer. The only advantage in wrap

more effective.
The shanks and feet Of exhibition
fowls must be absolutely clean and well
polished. To overcome rough scales
rub the legs twice daily with a cloth
dipped in kerosene and short time
before the show wash them thoroughly.
Use good securing soap, woolen cloth,
and warm rain water. Remove any
old or rough scales, and also the dirt
between the scales. The latter can be
taken out with toothplcks. Dry the
shanks and apply solution Of equal
