Washington, June 9-Answering
charges that he copy Of the treaty
presented by him in the Senate might
not be authentic, Senator Borah to-
day declared he could furnish proof
by reading it, which he began. The
move is probably tectical maneuver
to force the prining of he document,
as opponents were seeking to keep
the motion to reconsider publication
because the Senate until adjournment
and thus prevent action today. AS
the presidents supporters objected
vigorously and asserted that the read
ing of the treaty in open session vio-
lated the Senate rulese, parliament
tary wrangle followed.
Senator Walsh, presiding, ruled
that he article being read by Senator
Borah was not the treaty and Senator

WILSON ASKS
SENATE FOR A
PEACE TREATY
LEAK PROBE.
(By Associated Press)

Washington, June 9.--President
Wilson in Il cablegram of Senator
Hitchcock, Democrat, said he hoped
the investigation by the Senate For
elgn Relations committee of how cop
les of the Peace Treaty reached pri-
Vate interests in New York would be
most thoroughly prosecuted. He said
he felt that it "Was highly undesir-
able officially to communicate the
text of document which was still
under negotiation and subject to
change" and that any one who had
possession of the English text has
what he clearly is not entitled to have
or to communicate. This statement
strengthened the belief that the presi-
dent will not comply with the request
of the Senate that the treaty text
be furnished at this time. The COM
mittee subpoenaed Jacob Schiff,
Thomas Lamont, II. P. Davidson, Paul
Warburgh, J. P. Morgan, Frank A.
Vanderlip. Mr.. Lamont was request
ed to bring any correspondence re-
garding the treaty which passed be-
tween the Morgan company and its
London and Paris agents, and par
ticularly any communication between
the company and Mr.. Davidson while
the latter was abroad.
The committee adopted q motion by
Senator Fall, Republican, inviting
Acting Secretary of State Polk to
appear as q witness and to participate
III the inquiry.
The committee adjourned without
fixing the date for the next meeting.
The investigation will be made by the
full committee Chairman Lodge was
expected to call another meeting soon.

U.S.. IMPATIENT
OVER AC|TATORS
Door to Europe May Have to
Close, Hoover Says
By The Associated Press.


BUFFALO, Nov. 12.-The Ameri-
can people are growing impatient with
foreign agitators and unless their at
titude changes the door that has al
ways been open to Europe may be
shut, Herbert Hoover, declared here
today in an address at the convention
of Americans of Polish ancestry.
Mr.. Hoover outlined the progress of
the Polish people resulting from the
establishment of free government;
told the audience what they could do
to maintain the new Polish republic
and reminded them of their duty to
their country of adoption.
MANY foolish ideas are being circu-
lated among the foreign-born popula-
ton of the United States" Mr.. Hoover
said MANY of these foreign-born are
interesting themselves in the destruc-
ton of our primary institution and de-
flance of our laws The American
people are fast losing patience with
this attitude. 1t may develop out this
that the open door towards Europe
will be, in a large measure, closed.
But worse than this, there may de-
yelop out of this prejudice against
every speaker of foreign language in
the United States. 1t creates prejudice
against extending aid to countries in
Europe from which our foretgn-born
population springs"
Any needed reforms in the United
States, he asserted. would be carried
out by those whose parents have
grown up amid our institutions and
those who have become in sentiment
and spirit part of our people"
1T is fortunate that the Polish
population of the United States have
been but little Influenced by these
forms of agitation" he continued. IF
Pole exists who has associated
himself with the organizations that
devote themselves to the destruction
of our Institutions, that Pole is not
only disloyal to the United States, but
he Is endeavoring to paralyze the
.lrm that is supporting the independ-
ence OF his own mother country.
Those who are dissatisfied can al
ways choose the alternative of retir-
ing to the countries from which they
came"

MINERS REFUSE TO RETURN TO WORK
HOME GUARD DlSBANDS
after TWO AND HALF
YEARS. SERVICE HERE

The Perth Amboy battalion, New
Jersey Militia Reserves, was disband-
ed last night at appropriate exercises
held in the auditorium of the high
school. Since the battalion was form
originally as the Home Defense
League-in the spring of 1917, drills
were held at regular intervals
throughout winter and summer, about
800 men being actively associated with
the organization.
The local battalion was one of the
first to be organized in the state and
one Of the last to be demobillzed.
Owing to the high degree of eff
cheney which Its members had attain
ed under the able leadership of May
or Frank L. Antisell. the Perth Am
boy unit was not disbanded shortly
after the signing of the armistice as
was done in many cases in the state.
Great Training Given.
The training received by members
os the militia reserves was responsible
for many of the men who enlisted and
were inducted into the service from
this city, becoming non-commission-
ed officers. The drills which were
conducted under the supervision OF
efficient leaders, several of whom
were former regular army men,
primed the men of this city for the
training which was to come when
they became a part of the great Ma
tional army.
Owing to the fact that many in the
ranks of the militia reserves left to
enter the national service it was nec-
essary to continually be on the look
out for recruits to keep the ranks of
the Perth Amboy battalion filled to
the regulation war strength
The rehabilitation of the local bat
talon last night marked the close o1
successful two and a half years OF
patriotic service and the men were
highly praised by the speakers who
addressed them during the exercises.
The members of the battalion as
sembled, together with members Of
the local Council of Defense, In the

carried revolvers.
Had each defendent been made a
party or an accomplice to the killing,
instead of each being charged sepa-
rately with the crime, a direction of
verdict probably would not have been
given. as only one bullet wound was
found on Garcias body, at the au-
topsy performed by County Physician
John l.. Suydam.
AS pointed out by Prosecutor Jo-
seph e. Stricken. the stories as told by
the witnesses and the investigator
conducted by County Detective Ferd
A. David, showed that the assailants
OF the dead man and his two friends
had taunted them by threatening
with a knife, just prior to the time
Garcia was shot.
While it was conclusively proven
that the men were armed and in
Chrome early in the morning of July
s, no light was shed on who fired
the shot. although the two friends of
the murdered man heard the shot
fred.
Freedom has not yet been gained
by the three men, though they have
been acquitted of murder they are
still IN custody under an indictment
charging them with carrying con-
cealed weapons.

Conference on Friday

By The associated ffeSS. -
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. III
The two outstanding points of inter
est in the coal mining situation today
was the reception by the members OF
the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca of the order of their chiefs calling
off the strike and the probable out
come of the conference of miners
representatives and operators wlti
Secretary of Labor w. B, wilson II
Washington Friday.
Reports on the number of men re-
turning to work were slow In reacll-
ing international headquarters OF the
mine workers here. chiefly because
the order resembling the strike call OF
October Is had not yet been received
in many districts and because many
local unions will hold meetings be-
fore deciding whether to return TO
the mines.
Dispatches received up to this
time. while not clearly defining the
attitude of the men as a whole, is
believed to indicate that the workers
will continue on strike only in isolat-
ed cases. 1t was pointed out py
miners officials that several days
would be required to determine 10
what extent their order had been
obeyed.
