 cast. Senator McCumber, of North Dakota, who voted with the Demo- crats in opposition to the Shantuns amendment, was the only Republican absent. His vote was not cast.
 Although the committee acted spe- officially on only four of the treaty's provisions in question, there was an agreement that the votes on these separate provisions would be only perfunctory and to carry into effect the blanket proposal
 The amendments were presented by Senator Fall, Republican, of New Mexico, wdho said he excepted the separations commission because there were certain decisions affecting American shipping interests involved in the commissions work.
 Declaring the Republican majority of the Foreign Relation Committee was attempting by the Shantung amendment to the peace treaty to drive a poisoned dagger into the peace treaty and to place the United States in the position of "'big bully. Senator McCumber, of North Dakota, the only Republican member of the committee who voted against the amendment, asked the Senate today to overrule the committees action.
 The speaker said: ''No greater blow could ever be struck against the real interests of China" than by the committee amendment, the actual purpose of which, he asserted, was to kill the treaty and the league. The amendment provides that the old German rights in Shantung province shall go to China in place of Japan.
 why did the majority of this committee pause in the midst of their hearings to make this particular amendment?'' he asked, ''and then proceed with the usual leisure to lay out dates for further hearings which will consume a week or so more? The purpose is apparent. It is to signify to the country that the Senate is hostile to this treaty. It is to put Japan in a position where she cannot without an appearance of being CO., creed, to do what she has promised to do. It is to create trouble between this country and Japan and thereby send the first dagger thrust in the body of the treaty.

BIG PACKERS MISUSE
 AND DIVERT CARS OF
 SMALL INDEPE PENDENTS
Own 90 Per Cent. of All Refrigerator Equip ment in Country Suit able for TranspOrta- ton of Fresh Meat.

Washington, Aug. 26.-De- claring that the step is neces- sary to control the business of the five largest packing com panies, the federal trade com mission in a special report to President Wilson recommends that operation of refrigerator cars and of cars used for trans portation of meat animals be declared a government mono poly.
 1t recommends further that the property concerned, including icing stations and other facilities as well as the cars, be acquired by the govern ment and railroads thereafter be li- censed to own and operate them. The big packers the report says, now own 90 per cent. of all the refrigerator equipment in the country suitable for the transport of fresh meat.
 The present country wide system of distribution by the five big packers has grown from their control of re- frigerator car lines in conjunction with various pools," the report says. Tn turn, the volume of traffic of the five packers has enabled them to secure Ayom the railroads advantages over competing shippers"
 ''The small independent packers cars are misused and diverted, ire quent1y being out of his service for extended periods in several instances as long as six months"

Klearflax rugs bring beauty.

At first glance Klearflax linen rug has no beauty. It seems dull feless of thing; fitted only for use where one does particularly for beauty

For it's gray brown or rose will harmonze with the other fittings of and bring cool amoS- phere and artistic touch that is almost magic
 And how it will last For Kearfax is pure linen, woven into close-surfaced rug-why twill put to shame rugs that cost double its price,

 Another attempted prosecution for trespass on the New Britain Trap Rock company land fell down this morning when Prosecutor G. w. Klett an nounced that his investigation of the case revealed that such trespass is not covered by law. The acct sed-two women who were picking dandelions- were allowed to go free, and the bags of dandelions taken from them were turned over to them. As the land is not cultivated or titled nor enclosed by fence, there is no statute which would allow of the trespass charge. The prosecutor made an investigation because of the frequency of complaints received from Mir. and Mrs. Daven- port custodians of the property

NEW REGULATIONS PROTECT
 BUYERS OF PACKAGE GOODS

Washington, D. C., May 6.-New regulations adopted by the secretaries of the treasury. agriculture and com merce require that hereafter all pack ages containing above one-half ounce of food, avoirdupois, coming under the jurisdiction of the Federal Food and Drug Act, must be labeled to show the exact net weight. A former regulation provided that a package containing two avoirdupois ounces or less should be exempt from marking in terms of weight.
 The new ruling was made, it is. eX- plained, to give consumers informa- ton as to the quantity of spices and other comparatively high-priced foods which are usually sold in small pack ages and thus protect themselves from the deceptive practice of slack filling such containers.

BASEBALL SEASON
 OPENS IN EUROPE
Indications Are That French People Will Soon Adopt America's
 National Sport.

Paris, May 1.-The European base ball season has opened, the University of Paris having scheduled games with the University of Lyons, Nice, Dijon, Nancy and Toulouse, with a trip to England in June to play Oxford, Cam bridge and Edinburgh.
 The University of Toulouse has four baseball teams and American aggrega- tions are playing exhibition games in southeastern France. Ten thousand persons witnessed a game at Toulouse recently while at Pau 5000 were pres ent. At Tarbes there was an attend ance of 1000 or a quarter of the city's population.
 John T. Powers now a Y. M. c. A worker at Toulouse said today:
 Il think the French are the com ing people in baseball. They have the best baseball eye of any people next to the Americans, so far as my ob- serva tion goes. Leaders feel the game is suited to the French temperament, although time will be necessary to in troduce the game. The scientific at tttude of baseball appeals to the French, but other features are inter- esting to them, for instance the speed necessary in playing the game and the necessity of making quick judg- ment. French youngsters are very keen in picking up the nlcetles of baseball. Several hundred boys at Toulouse are now playing scrub games just like American youngsters In track meet held by men engaged in the service of supply department of the American army, held at Le Mans, Pat Ryan, the Olympic champion threw the hammer 160 feet inches.
