SHANTUNGFORNS
FOR LONG
PACT ONSLAUGHT
Senator Norris Talks Three
Hours in Strong Attack
VIII Continue Today -
Lodge May Speak-Sen-
ate Hopes to Speed Up
Work
TRepubIIcan A, p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-All Of the
time set aside by the senate today for
consideration of the peace treaty was
taken up by Senator Norris republican,
Nebraska, with three-hour attack on
the Shantung settlement and half an
hours reading of the printed text.
When the Nebraska senator halted
for moment with his speech only two
thirds through, Republican Leader
Lodge gave him a breathing spell by
suggesting that the senate shift to the
reading. Senator Norris will conclude
tomorrow. Senator Lodge also may
speak and the senate will meet an hour
earlier than usual in the hope of speed
ing up the treaty consideration
The agreement for II o'clock open
ing was taken to indicate. that the SEN
ate will begin next week to put in a
larger working day with the hope of
clearing away the big speechmaking
program. At the suggestion of Sena,-
tor Lodge the senate also adopted the
agreement to take up the Shantung
amendments Wednesday, but this does
not mean that they will be considered
under the five-minute debating rule
then or that vote is any nearer than
it was yesterday. Senators explained
that this procedure would enable the
body to revert to the section embracing
the Shanutng province, as the reading
by Wednesday may be way ahead of
it. But if senators want to keep on
speaking that day and thereafter they
will have that right.
Denounced Japan
Senator Norris, speaking extempo-
raneously, which is quite different
from the plan followed by most of his
colleagues, was particularly in de-
nouncing the award of Shanutng to
Japan. There was no hope, he de-
clared, of seeing that province back un-
der the Chinese flag, once it was taken
over by Japan under the peace con-
| ference settlement, which he character
| lied as the outrage of the age" He
charged that the American people "had
been coerced in some cases" to sub
scribe to loans to support this gov
ernment which was lending money to
Great Britain at Az per cent, while
Great Britain was lending it to Persia
| at per cent.
| There was only a brief reference to
| the league of nations during the morn
| ing hour" the time for filling the rec
ord with documents endorsing and con-
demning it. Only few of these docu-
ments went in, but some senators have
explained that if they undertook tc
print everything bearing on the league
from people in all parts of the country
there would be little room in the recorC
for anything else.

SENATORS LOOK INTO
STRIKE CONDITIONS
IN STEEL DISTRICT
Committee Is Deluged with
Information = Just Miss
Small Riot and Shots -
Talk to Men
REPUBLICAN A. p. Leased Wlrel

PITTSBURG, Oct 1O.-Senators in
vestigating the steel strike put in a
busy day in the Pittsburg district and
viewed everything from the incandes-
cent metal in the rolling mills to the
culinary equipment in the homes of the
mill workers. They discussed strike
conditions with plant superintendents
and held informal caucuses with strik-
ers in the back streets of Homestead
and Clarion.
Chairman Kenyon said they wanted
to be sure and hear both sides, and
volunteer and voluble interpreters
made it easy for the foreign-born ele-
ments among the strikers to get heard.
At Homestead, just before the party
arrived, there was an exchange Of shots
between strikers and an armed work
man, but the committee did not get UP
TO the front in time to see anything of
the fracas.
In the mills Of the Carnegie company
visited at Duquesne and Homestead,
officials would concede that only a
small number of men were on strike.
At Clarion, however, the senators
were told that 1,500 men out of 5000
normally employed remained out.
Strikers in the street meetings with
the senators denied these claims and
in polyglot fashion asserted that many
thousands Of men were missing from
the scene Of usual duties.
Showered With Inforna alton
Chairman Kenyon at Homestead
broke his party up into details Of one,
which resulted in each senator gather
ing a crowd running up into hundreds
at almost every front porch where he
stopped. Senator Sterling of South
Dakota, with a cluster Of youngsters
hanging on his coat tails, was taken
into two or three houses in one block
while one man acting as usher, would
observe at each door, Here's the way
some more of Judge Gary's high priced
help has to live"
Senator Kenyon called in a stenogra-
pher to take down statements made by
Mrs. Joseph Pentedi, wife of a husky
Hungarian mill foreman, who had re-
fused to strike. She had been visited
she explained. by committee of strik-
ers and urged to get her husband to
stay away from work. Pentedi, rather
me-facedly, said that he had done
so for a couple of days because was
afraid and she was afraid"
At Clarion, some hundreds of strik
ers crowded around the senatorial
party, under leadership of P. II. Gro
gan, secretary of a local strike CON-
mittee. There was some wonderment
among the committee when Slavs, still
unable to speak English, gave Their
names as Joseph Powell" and "James
Smith," but the senators finally ac-
cepted the names as an indication of q
first step taken toward Americaniza-
ton.
What they wanted, the strikers ex-
planned, we're fewer hours of work and
more wages. They all held up theil
! hands when Senator Kenyon asked
who had contributed to Red Cross anC
Liberty bond funds during the war, bu
when requested to give the same sigr
| to indicate possession of naturaliza
ton papers, there was noticeable fall
ing off.

WHO OWNS THIS sADDLEg
Seven Jurors Unable to Decide Ques-
 ton in Replevin Suit.

An action in replevin for posses sion of a saddle and blanket occupied the attention of the court and seven jurors before Squire s. H. Smith on Friday afternoon, and then resulted in hung jury. Gale Hume was plain tiff and Ted Pettigrew, living in Ok lahoma, west of Cove was the defend ant. B. J. Stuart was attorney for the defendant, and Gale Hume han dled his own case. The jurors were M. B. Legate, Will Dean, Uriel Thacker, H. S. Linn, s. P. Orrick J. T. Gateley, and w. C. Spars.
 It seems that some time ago when Pettigrew bought a mule from Hume he was given saddle to use to ride the animal home The saddle was sent back to Hume, who later let it out to be taken to Fogel, Ok, and cur iously enough from Fogel it was sent to Pettigrew, who after leaving it in a store at Cove for several days, took it home Hume failing to get the sad dle back after writing several letters, brought the action in replevin.

NO LAW AGAINST
 PROFITEER|NC
House and Senate Took Turns in Rcmping on Administration Bill and Others-One to Make Dis
 honest Folks Honest.
Special Wire to The Star.
 Little Rock, Oct. l.--~Legisla- ture adjourned sine die at noon to- day.

Little Rock, Sept. 30.-As a sort of a prelude to it's sine die adjournment Wednesday noon, the house and sen ate today took turns at romping on anti-proiteering bills. The adminis- tration's bill, whic hhad been lying dormant in both branches of the leg islature, was called up in the house. It didn't get enough consideration to be debated, but instead was promptly tabled.
 The Riggs bill, one designing to make dishonest folks honest, thru penalty on any dealer making a false statement concerning quality, quan- tity, price and so on, got thru the house by narrow squeak and was Iimmediatel ytransmitted to the sen ate. Senator Emery got it read once. He asked for permission for suspen- sion of the rules to read it again. The permission was denied him by the senate, onsa standing vote That just the same as definitely postponed the bill, because similar procedure We'd nesday morning would mean that the bill would be left on the senate calen- dar as having been read twice.
 fine administration bill in the Sen ate has never recovered from the sleeping potion given it by the ad- verse committee report. It may be called up for the purpose of burial, but in all probability it will rest peacefully for evermore.
 With physical impossibility of en- ancting any i-profiteering legisla- tion during the last day of the ses- sion, the Southwest American core spondent's prediction, made before the session convened, that no anti profiteering law would be edded to the statute books, has been upheld.
 Representative Rogers of Drew county has concluded, it is believed, that special session should never have been called. He worked energet- ically to get four bills passed in the house. It took him eight days to do 1t. In eight minutes this morning the senate killed them all
 Both houses were in session to- night cleaning up the local legisla- ton program. From indications to- night, calendars of both houses will be cleared of all bills the authors of which want them enacted

TOwERY OUT ON FURLoUGH.
Hatton Man Is Released From Peni-
 tentiary to Visit filling Mother.


 Advices from Little Rock are to the effect that Mark Towery of Hat ton, sentenced to the penitentiary in 1918, was not pardoned but was granted 50 day furlough to visit his mother in Polk county. The fur tough was directed by Gov. Trough who said that petitions have been filed for the pardon of Towery. The executive refused to grant the par don, but authorized the furlough that Towery might spend 50 days with his mother, who is said to be in poor health. Towery was released about two weeks ago. Towery was sent to the penitentiary from Polk county on charges of resisting the draft, carnal abuse, grand larceny, and burglary.
