Wilson's REQUEST
IS NOT GRANTED
Senate Foreign Relations Com.
mittee Will Not Approve
Treaty Appointments until
Pact Is Ratified
BEYOND IT'S POWERS
RESOLUTION on the Subject Is Adopted
What the President Might Do In
View Of This Action Has Not Been
Revealed

Washington. July 22-An emphatic
negative was returned by the Senate
foreign relations committee to-day to
President Wilson's request that II ap-
prove provisional appointment Of an
American representative on the inter-
national reparations committee without
awaiting ratification Of the peace treaty.
While the President was renewing his
talks with republican senators at the
White House and the Senate was be-
ginning another day of speech-making
on the treaty, the committee adopted a
resolution declaring that no power exists
to execute provisions of the treaty In ad-
vance Of its ratification. This was inter-
preted not only as refusing asset to
the appointment, but declaring the Presi-
dent would exceed his authority should
he act independently.
What the President might do in view
of the committee action has not been. re-
vealed tonight but most Of his advisors
predicted there would be no appointment
for the present. In making his request,
the President had declared it essential to
American business interests that the ma
ton be represented on the commission,
which Will have charge of the entire rep
aration program to be demanded Of Ger
many.
Inc resolution was presented by Sena-
tor Knox, republican, of Pennsylvani, and
was substituted by an eight to seven vote
FOR another expressing no opinion as to
the Presidents power to act. In making
the substitution the committee divided
along party lines except that Senator Nc
Curber. republican, North Dakota, voted
with the democrats in the negative.
Later. in the Senate. Senator Moses of
New Hampshire, republican member Of
the committee pointed out during an ad-
drss opposing the treaty that reparations
commission would continue until 1851 and
would exercise drastic powers. In that
connection. Chairman Lodge suggested
that It's powers even might extend to eff
fecting acts of war against Germany but
which Germany agreed beforehand shoVN
not be so considered.

FLETCHER MAKES
REPORT ON MEXICO
Says That Although so Amer.
leans Have Been Killed in
Carranza's Country Since 1917
Nobody Has Been Punished
ESQ CITIZENS ATTACKED
RELATIONS between the Two Countries
Have Improved, Ambassador states
Opposes Any Sugg estion That T.. =.
Break with Cnrrnnxa Government

Washington, July 22,-Although about
80 American citizens nave been killed or
outraged in Mexico since 1917. not a single
arrest or conviction Is known to have re-
suited, Henry =. Fletcher. United States
ambassador to Mexico to-day told the
House rules committee in hearing on
the Gould resolution proposing appoint
ment of congressional committee to in
vestigate relations between the two coun-
tries.
The ambassador also laid before the
committee report compiled by the state
department in response to Senate reso-
luton showing that since the close of the
Diaz regime, about $50 attacks Of serious
nature have been made on American citi-
zens in Mexico.
Relations between the two countries,
however, Mr.. Fletcher said have improved
during the last three years. He added
that there was a wonderful submission"
to the Carranza rule in all sections which
the government controls.
Although declining to express an opin-
ion as to the policy either past or future,
of this country toward Mexico. the am
bassador in effect opposed suggestions
advanced by the members of the COM
mttee looking to withdrawal by the
tnlteu states OF recognition or the Gar
rama government. Such step he said
would only increase the existing un-
friendly feeling of Mexcans towards
Americans and would not, unless accom-
plshed by the other action in the way
of assistance bring about the establish
ment OF a more stable government in
Mexico but would add to the difficulties
of that country.
At present, Mr.. Fletcher said there
were no revolutionary leaders in Mexico
with sufficient following to overthrow the
existing government and set up a stable
one.
Would the permission of this govern
ment to all MeXicans to secure arms and
ammunition furnish these an anti Car
rama leaders aid?' asked Chairman
Campbell.
ing the turmoil in Mexico" replied the
ambassador. Whether il would ultim-
ately result in a government more stable
than this one, more able to discharge
it's international obligations or not
am not prepared to say"
Ambassador Fletcher said he had no.
ticed no special anti-American sentiment
or discrimination against nationals of
this country in favor Of those OF nations.
Another bearing will be held by the
committee tomorrow at which Mrs.
John w. Cornell of Oklahoma, whose hus-
band was recently murdered near Tam
pco and a number of former American
residents OF Mexico will appear.

TELLS TALE or ABDUCTION
Lydia Mooney. IL, Said She Nnx Seized
by Three Men and Drusgcd-
Found Dazed

st. Albana, July 20.-Thls city was cor
sideraby stirred UP Friday night by a
story told by Lydia Mooney. l3-ycar-old
daughter of Mrs. G. b. Carter Of Lincoln
avenue, the girl alleging that she had been
abducted by three young men Friday
morning, thrown in en- automobile drug
ged and later deposited in ditch near
Milton.
1t is said that the girl started for DR.. t.
c. Halliday's office Friday for teeth treat
ment. She did not return home in the eve-
ming and n frantic search by her family
proved unsuccessful About eight o'clock
in the eve!ng Mrs Leo Allen who called
at the home, remcr bered that while mo-
toring from Burlington she saw a little
girl sitting in n rock Just out of Milton.
Lawrence Tuscany and John Rashaw
went to Milton and found the girl in
dazed condition near the same spot I'm
mediatey on arrival home she was put
into bed and promptly fell into a deep
slumber.
The girl said that when she started TO
cross the corner of Ferris and South Main
streets an automobile stopped and
young man stepped out and inquired where
DR.. F. w Norris lived. AS she turned
to point to the doctors house the young
man seized her and threw her into the
car. hitting her head severely against the
side OF the machine. He also stopped and
picked up her dog, and threw 1t into the
car. The car quickly continued down
South Main street.
As she continued to struggle cloth was
pressed over her nose and she recollected
nothing further until she found herself
In dazed condition beside the road in
Milton. DR.. Il. A. Hyatt, who examined
the girl, said that she had undoubtedly
been drugged and in n signed statement
to Chief of Police J. F. Mahoney he said
that the examination showed evidence of
violence.
Chief of Police Mahoney was not noti-
fed about the missing girl for several
hours and after the girl had been returned
home and told her story he did not believe
that she had been abducted as no man
would have taken time to sieze dog
when committing an abduction i'm day

The chief was DESTROYS of proving his be-
lief so Saturday afternoon he went to the
girls home and told her that an investi-
cation of the case would involve consid-
cradle time and money and that he want
ed her to tell the truth and save lot of
trouble and expense. The girl then stated,
according to Chief Mahoney, that she
walked to Milton and sat down near
ditch because she was tired. Chief Ma
honey said she must have walked about 20
miles. which was enough to daze any
child, who would also be afflicted by the
temperature which was extremely warm
Friday.
story was in circulation yesterday
which seems to have some bearing on the
girls story.It was stated by reliable per-
sons that car has been seen about the
city for several days driven by a colored
chauffeur and occupied by three young
men. A young girl who lives on Bishop
street, has been greatly annoyed by these
particular young men. So the story goes,
and that they have tried to make an ac-

LOSE THEIR LICENSES

Montpelier. July 1S.--The secretary of
State this morning suspended two more
automobile licenses, one of which was
Horace Morton OF White River junction.
whose license was suspended. according
to that officer, because he lied to the

the office and his license taken from

result Of an escapade Thursday evening
when the officers found an automobile
had been run down the Central Vermont
railway tracks at Dodge bridge and that
the man in charge did not have a license.
Later, they located the owner of the
car and found he did not have a license
to operate. The whole affair is under

DRY WEATHER CHECKS
POTATO GROWTH IN VT.

Wa shington. July 2O.-The Bureau Of
Crop Estimates has issued a report on
the late or winter commercial potato
crop of the United States. based on
conditions July l. The compercial crop
may be defined as the surplus of the
total potato production which is sold
locally or shipped in carloads. This and
subsequent reports. however, will deal
with that part OF the crop that Is shipped
in carloads or the carot movement
The following comments referring to
the late or winter potato crop are in the
nature Of preliminary survey Of the
condition Of the commercial crop at this
time. 1t is 90 early to make any reliable
estimates on quantity, but the following
comments should serve In a general way
to indicate the relative commercial crop
as compared with that of year ago
in the important States producing late
potatoes for the commercial market. The
acreage in nearly all States is from five
to 10 per cent. less than last year Hot
dry weather has injured the crop in many
parts Of the country and potato bugs are
generally reported to he much worse
than usual.
Maine. The total commercial potato
crop in Maine. from present indications,
is likely to be from eight to 10 per cent.
less than in 1918. Aroostook county, the
leading county in potato production in
the United States, will run about seven
per cent. less in commercial acreage than
last year. The yield in the commercial
regions Of the State of Maine last year
was around 200 bushels. Acreage for the
entire State will probably run around
100000 acres as compared with IL, 900
acres last year
Vermont. Massachusetts. Connecticut
Rhode Island and New Hampshire have
no extensive commercial districts and
commercial potato production is largely
absorbed by home markets. There is a
good stand for potatoes through this sec
ton, but hot. dry weather the latter
part Of June and the frs part of July
checked the growth.
