SHIPS FACE HURRICANE

By NA3S0otAfed FresS New Orleans September f1.--Not- withstandlng the warning of the weather bureau today that tropical hurricane in the gulf would probably
 reach the coast between northw est Florida and southern Louisiana before morning, 10 steamships bound from

HARDING DENOUNCEs TREATY

After the minority report had been pre- sented Senator Harding of Ohio. repub- lican member of the foreign relations committee. spoke at length against the treaty and it's league covenant. declar- ing he would vote for amendments. When he concluded the galleries broke into vigorous applause. which Vice Pres ident Marshall endeavored to check. Warning was given by the vice president that the rules committee would have to say whether the rule against applause during consideration of the treaty was to be enforced, declaring visitors paid no more attention to standing regulations than to last years birds nest"
 Senator Williams. democrat. Missis- sissippi. put into the record an editorial from a New York newspaper. charac- terizing the Lodge report as "Prussian- zed." All of the allies, Senator Wilr Hams asserted, were "insulted" by the majority report, suggesting that the peace conference might we'll be occu- pied in renegotiation of the German treaty instead of considering Grecian, Italiaa and other territorial disputes.
 "The spirit of insult the senator de clared Ifs oozing out of that report against everybody in the world with whom we are allied
 Senator Williams charged that Senator Lodge was trying to defeat the league of nations indirectly, if he could not do so directly.

DEPLORE DELAY


 Deploring delay to which the docu- ment has been subjected. the report as serted that the industrial world was in ferment the financial world in doubt. and that this was caused 'shv the majority of committee known to be out of harmony with the majority of the Senate and the majority of the people,
 Normal reporting of majority and mi- nority views was of secondary interest however, to continuation of private con ferences by republicans in efforts to agree upon a compromise reservation programme.
 Senators active in the negotiations sa i'd complete agreement was near. one which would insure support of all 49 repub- licans and probably a number of demo- crats. This programme does not con template formal or informal announce ment of a compromise in the near fu- ture, and probably not until the close of the discussion of the treaty, when reser- vations will be in order.
 It was said assurances had been given by democratic senators today that modification of the Lodge reservations. predicted now by leaders of factions ad- vocating both strong and mild reser- vations would make considerable demo- cratic support virtually certain.
 Senator Lodge had before him for ap- proval of the strong reservationists. it was said, proposed substitutes of the mild" reservation group of republicans.

 ''Forty-five persons are adrift be- tween foWey ROCK 1lSHlHouSt anu Cape Florida. They are in distress and without food"
 The survivors were exhausted when brought here.
 The only one in condition to talk was F. Addison. superintendent of cargo of the Corydon. He said he was jerked overheard by the lifeboat in which he and the others were saved and crawled into it, rowed around the va al o,1 tad y,ip Arh into the boat. One of these, John Con- dron, seaman, became crazed from suffering and privation Wednesday night and jumped overheard.
