Washington, Dec. 13.-The long
drawn out debate on the Cummins
railroad bill was interrupted today
by a demand, put in the form of a
resolution, that the senate investigate
reports that vast sums of money had
been raised to help put the measure
through congress.
The investigation resolution was in
troduced by Senator Norris, repub-
lican, Nebraska, at the conclusion OF
a five-d day address by Senator La Fol-
.lette, republican, Wisconsin, who
raked the bill fore and aft and de-
clared it was framed in the interest
of the roads.
Senator La Toilette charged that
the railroad executives association
end other interests had provided
funds for propaganda purposes.
Senator Norris. who said the pub
lie had a right to know If sinister in
fluences were trying secretly to bring
about the enactment of the Cummins
bill, raised no objection to a proposal
ty Senator Pomerene, democrat, Ohio,
that the senate interstate commerce
committee, to which the resolution
was referred. also investigate reports
that advocates of the Plumb plan for
railroad control had $4.000,000 to ex-
pend in an effort to force adoption by
congress of the tri-partite system they
proposed.
Warning was given by republican
leaders today that failure to dispose
of the railroad bill next week might
force abandonment Of plans for a hol-
iday recess starting December 20.
While strong opposition has develop
ed to the pending measure leaders
claimed its ultimate passage was GER
tain, even by a narrow margin.

AND WARRANT ISSUED

II. A. Smith yesterday brought suit
in Justice of Peace John w. Wilson's
court against Alvin Pohl, 211 South
Edith street, for the recovery of $40.
Smith alleged that he had hauled
sixty loads of dirt for Pohl, for which
he was to receive $50 During the
course of the. testimony taken yester-
day it was discovered that Smith had
hauled the dirt while in the employ
of the FL Paso Bitulthic company. 1t
was seen at once by Judge Wilson
that the man had no right to the dirt
in the first place as it belonged to the
city and the case was Immediately
dismissed. In the meantime City
MAnager A. r. Hebenstreit had heard
of the case and had gotten out a war
rant for the arrest of Smith on a
charge of impersonating the city of
Albuquerque. He was arrested a few

The time has come toSend techni-

bed. He is amply able to attend to
the business of the nation, but it is
not fair for the senate TO say, when it
holds the treaty in it's possession, that

cause he does not initiate action"

situation that confronts the country.

Senator Hitchcock quoted Senator

Senator Hitchcock accused Senator
Lodge with inviting the destruction
of the treaty by making no effort ito

senators on the democratic side who
wanted the treaty ratified, while he
consulted with fourteen or fifteen sem

halan of the New York supreme court
representatives of various Irish organ =
cations in this country told the COM
mittee that such a recognition. not
only would follow out the self-deter-

New York, declared conditions in Ire

were in cuba when the United States

Only One Opponent.
The only speaker opposing the bill
was George l., Fox, of New Haven

momentary discussion. They afford
opportunity for few venturesome
men and women to display their skill
earn the denunciations OF alert guar

without affecting the scores OF thou
sands of sensible men and women who
find in dancing relief from their cares
and pleasure In their idle hours.
The assumption that dancing in pub

reduced with the Introduction Of a
state of bone dryness Is widely held.
Probably the suppression of alcoholic
stlmulants will affect some persons
and some resorts. But 1t should he
borne IN mind that drinking is not an
essential concomitant OF dancing. In
this city and In other cities there are
many large establishments devoted to
the dance in which liquor has not been

they are profitable TO their owners Is
established by their continued endur-

to the brief existence Of all crazes.
But there has been no sign Of diminu-
ton In the eagerness with which
young and old. rich and poor, pursue
pleasure In this form. As a pastime
for men and women Of all conditions
the dance has proved slayer in its
present environment and the number
of Its followers has increased rather
than decreased with the years.
This continued prosperity has been
marked by the maintenance Of that
high plane of decorum which is to be
expected where sensible persons con-
gregate. Occasionally an abuse has
crept In, only to be promptly excluded.
The fears of those who foresaw q re-

existent, It's ideals unimpaired, Its
organization unbroken, its hopes for
humanity rs rainbow hued as ever.
The second existing league to pre-
serve the peace of the world Is that
which Is now in session at Paris.
The membership list is almost as long
as that which is printed above. The
name OF Germany, however, Is absent
this time, as are the names of Austria
Hungary, and Bulgaria and Turkey.
The strength of the league is in the
power of the five great nations which
mainly fought the recent fight.
1t is to this second league, Of type
vastly different from that of the
other to which we have referred, that
the Knox resolution Of December 3,
1913, pointed definitely as the hope
Of future peace:
That for the safeguarding of those
aims 1.-THE vindcation OF the ancient
rights of navigation as established un-
der international law and in order TO
remove forever the German menace to
our peacel the first essential is deh-
mite understanding that the same neces-
sty arising In the future there shall be
the same complete accord and coopera-
ton with our chief cobelligerents for
the defence OF civilization"
And 1t Is of this same still exist
ing league of swords which cut deeper
than words that Premier CLEMEN-
cEAU remarked at the opening Of the
conference:
The league OF nations Is here. II ID
yourselves. It is for you TO make 1t
live. and to make It live We must have
1t really In our hearts"
Is the real hope Of peace for civ
ilization aud safety for democracy In
a modified and revised organization
like that wherein Germany's name led
all the rest, or in the sort Of league
of emergency alllance--a different
thing from entangling alliance-which
is contemplated by the Knox resolu'
ton. recognized by NJ. CLEMENCEAU's
sane presclence, and at the present
time commanded by Marshal FoCH's
illuSrrious sword?
