VANCOUVER HELD
UP BY STRIKE AND
STREET CARS IDLE
Operators Went Out After
Voting to Remain
at Work
FOR JITNEYS
Public Not Greatly Inconvenienced by
Suspension of Street Car
Service

VANCOUVER, B. c., June 10
Residents of Vancouver faced the al
tentative of either walking or taking
a jitney in order to get down town.
The street cars lay idle in their barns
as the result of the walk-out of the
carmen, after voting to remain at
work. The action of the carmen
came as a complete surprise to the
city, and it is evident that they have
been won over by the union officials
who are in favor of the general strike.
Thousands of jitneys made their
appearance on the streets and this
helped to relieve the situation mate
rally. The jitney drivers are reap
ing a golden harvest, particularly
from those districts which are located
some distance from the downtown
business section.
The owners of private cars were
generous in giving lift to those they
met on the way to the offices and fac
tories, so that every automobile on it's
arrival in the central section was
loaded to capacity. The people who
lived in nearby residential districts
walked to work and as the day was
warm and pleasant, they found but
little inconvenience from the suspen-
sion of street car service.

Believe Frank Discussion
of Relations Cannot
Be Avoided
PRESIDENT is BLAMED
In Discussion There is No Idea of
Stirring up Anti-British
Feeling

WASHINGTON, June 10-It is
inevitable that the determined fight
which is being made in the Senate to
defeat the proposed covenant for q
League of Nations will lead to a
frank and intimate discussion of the
relations between the United States
and the British Empire.
This is fact that has already be-
come apparent, and in order that
there may be 40 disturbance of the
pleasant relations and kindly feeling
between the two countries that have
been strengthened by the war, both
the American and British public
should be prepared to "keep their
heads" as one Senator recently ex-
pressed it.
know that many Senators fear the
debate will lead to the appearance"
that a large percentage, perhaps a
majority, of the Senate is "anti-
British" This is realized especially
by the leaders of the opposition to the
league and they deeply regret it.
They place the blame upon Presi-
dent Wilson for attempting to mix up
purely American affairs with the af-
fairs of European countries through
the instrumentality of a league in
which the British Empire will have
six votes against one vote by the
United States.
These senators, although they are
not yet ready to give public express
sion to their views on this question,
hope that the more thoughtful state
men of Great Britain and her colonies
will understand the matter in the
proper light-that they will realize
that the republican and some demo-
cratic Senators. who will bring for
ward every legitimate argument they
can find to defeat the League cove
nant, have no idea of trying to stir
up anti British feeling in this coun-
try. Quite the contrary is true.

CALEDONIAN'S
NEW MANAGER
Boston Newspaper Man Acquires
Sizeable Interest in The
Local Paper

Because of the constantly increas-
ing demands of magazine and book
work upon his time, the present pub
Usher of The Evening Caledonian
disposes this week of the major in
terest in the publication or the cor
por;ltion owning it, to Herbert A.
Smith, a practical newspaperman OF
Boston. Mr.. Smith will move his
family to St. Johnsbury during the
coming fortnight and enter upon his
new duties Monday, July 2.
The present publisher had been
back. from the Far East for short
time only when it became evident that
it was going to be impossible for him
to attend properly to his magazine
and book work and find the time to
attend to the multitudinous details of
a daily newspaper also. For sew
eral weeks he endeavored to find a
competent manager to run the prop
erty for him. Failing in this, he ac-
cepted Mr.. Smiths offer to purchase
his holdings in the paper.
Mr.. Smith is practical newspap-
erman who has held several respon-
sible positions in the New England
publishing field, receiving most of his
training on the Worcester Telegram
and afterward on The Boston Herald.
His purchase of this interest in the
local paper was due to his desire to
get out of city journalism and back to
smaller town. He is about 35 years
old, is married, and has one small
child.
After July 2, Mr.. Pelley's con-
nection with the paper will be largely
in an advisory capacity. He will be
an officer in the publishing company,
and contribute to the editorial page.
The entire business management,
however, will be assumed by Mr..
Smith, that Mr.. Pelley may give his
whole time to magazine and book
work. The arrangement is happy
one, as it assures the time and at
tention of manager to his paper
eight hours a day for every day in
the year, with corresponding benefit
to the property and its promotion,
something which Mr.. Pelley could not
give, and yet does not disassociate the
latter entirely from the newspaper.
Mr.. Pelley cut his trip short around
the world last year because of the
difficulties which the home paper
was encountering in his absence,
breaking his contract with the syn
dicate which sent him on the trip, to
return. His New York people are
expecting him to return the last of
the present year, and finish his work.
But by the time he goes away again
he expects that the new purchaser
will have the business well in hand
and better arrangements made all

1t Was Voted At This Meeting To Call
Bankers OF Financial Influence Before
The Committee
GREAT INTERNATIONAL BANKERS OF NEW
YORK EVINCED INTEREST IN THE TREATY
Senators Line Up AZ to Is to Uphold Previous Motion
of Mr.. BOrah Before the Final Vote
Was Taken

WASHINGTON, June 10-The in
vestigation by the Senate foreign re-
lations committee into the leak by
which copies of the treaty of peace
with Germany fell into the hands of
individuals and corporations in New
York got under way yesterday when
the committee, in open meeting, vot-
ed to subpoena influential financial
bankers Of Wall street who, it was
thought, might be able to throw some
light upon the matter.
This decision of the committee
came after Senator Borah of Idaho
had stated to the committee that he
understood, from a quiet investiga-
ton he had undertaken, that "great
international bankers of New York"
had envinced deep interest in the
league of nations and the terms of the
peace treaty. He suggested that some
of them be called before the commit
tee to ascertain if they had obtained
secret copies of the peace treaty and,
if so, how they obtained them.
Long before the Senate came to the
vote that finally put the treaty into
the record, that body, by vote of
AZ to 25, had upheld a previous mo-
ton of Mr.. Borah to the same effect.
But Senator Beckham of Kentucky
interposed, just as the morning hour
of debate was over, with motion to
set that action aside, on the ground
that some senators had voted under a
apprehension.

Right Kind of Prohibition

Charles M. Schwab, the steel mag
nate, wants prohibition enforced on
a basis which would make the wine
cellars disgorge their boarded stocks
of good cheer. AS he sees it, the rich
men of the country should not be al
lowed to store their cellars with wines
and whiskeys enough for the rest of
their lives, while other people, who
haven't the money, must do without
it. The idea may be good one but
might be harder to enforce than pro-
hibition has been so far.-Bellows

Wilson Will Leave France
Within Ten Days

PARIS, July 10-The Council of

absent, held another short session ut
the "White House" Sunday morning
on the reply to the German counter
proposals. Later President Wilson
took long drive.
While no agreement has been reach

Mr.. Ciemenceau and Premier Lloyd
George will come to an understanding
before the end of the week, perhaps
by W. dncsdav ~ Th,,rsdav.
Nearly all the commissions to
which were entrusted consideration of
the different German proposals are
ready to report, and it is expected
they will turn in their conclusions
tomorrow. After the adoption Of n
general repoct by the council it is be-
lieved that compromise will be
reached on the tine to be given the
Germans to decide upon whether they
will siYn the treaty.

desires to hold the Germans 10 a
short interval, perhaps no more than
"a hours, while MI. Lloyd George fa-

WASHINGTON, June 10-Presi-
dent Wilson in cablegram received
today by Senator Hitchcock, said he
hoped the investigation by the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee of how
copies of the treaty reached private
interests in New York would be
"most thoroughly prosecuted" The
President said "he felt it was highly
undesirable officially to communicate
the text of the document which is
still in negotiation and subject to
change, and that anyone who had
possession of the official text is clear
ly not entitled to have or to commun-
icate." This statement by the Pres
ident strengthened the belief of off

senate's request that the treaty text
be furnished it at this time.
