TREATY ACTION IS
BLOCKED BY LODGE
Must Be ReSubmitted By
President, He Declares
In Debate.

Challenging Senator Lodge. the Re-
publican leader, to agree to a COM
mittee on conciliation for ratifica-
ton of the peace, treaty, Administra-
ton spokesmen in the Senate yester-
day renewed their efforts to bring
about favorable action on the treaty
question.
Senator Lodge refused to listen to
the demand for action, and reiterated
his statement that the only method
of bringing the treaty again before
the Senate Is by having the President
withdraw 1t and resubmit it with
reservations which the President will
accept.
The demand for action was made by
Senators Underwood of Alabama and
Hitchcock of Nebraska. The former
prefaced his speech by reading an
article in morning newspaper in
which 1t was stated that foreign ex-
change had dropped to such a low
level as a result of the defeat of
the treaty that foreign countries were
on the point OF canceling contracts
for supplies and merchandise in this
country.
Up to President.
Senator Lodge said the President
had the option OF withdrawing the
treaty whenever he chose to do so.
He said he did not understand why
the President declined to do this un-
less he. the President, sis unwilling to
recognize the rules of the Senate
Disclaiming that he had ever sought
(, to make the treaty a partisan ques-
ton. Senator Lodge said:
But the chairman OF the Demo-
cratic National Committee has made
1t partisan question from the very
first. The issue was forced on us
And since 1t has been forced on us
we propose to take what we believe
TO be the American side and that
alone.
1T is the President alone who
stands immobile. refusing to do any
thing further toward ratifying the
treaty. He directed his party to vote
against the treaty. He said the reser-
vations meant the notification of the
| treaty. 1t is not notification unless
the word notification is synonymous
with Americanization II the Presi-
dent desires to submit modific ations
| let him do it, We will be bound to
consider them with all respect"
Hitchcock Enters Debate.
Senator Hitchcock took up the de-
bate by asserting that although Sena-
tor Lodge had repeatedly stated he
favored ratification of the treaty he
had refused to consult with any Sem
ators except Republicans, chiefly with
| the irreconcilables who were opposed
to the treaty in any form. This was
denied by Senator Lodge, who said
he had conferred frequently with the
so-called mild reservationists. He
added that it would be Of no advan.
tage to confer with the Democratic
Senators becsuae "their votes do not
belong to themselves"
Senator Walsh of Montana object
ed to this reflection upon the Demo
cratic Senators, and Senator Lodge
| expressed regret that it had hurt
the Montana's feelings, and con-
sented to have the remark withdrawn
| from the Record, although adding that
| he believed it to be true.

POLICE COURT WAS
REVENUE PRODUCER

City officers were exceedingly busy
over the weekend, arresting just %
different persons, composing the
largest oplice court in years. Mayor
w. w. Conway was on the nch.and
dealt sternly with all assessing fines
amounting to 1924.
Just one-half of the TWENTY-FIVE
prisoners were gamblers, all of whom
were arrested in a raid in the rear of
the Window Glass house at Eleventh
street along the Belt Line about 2
p. m. yesterday. Officers Nuzum,
Ford and Art KerS made the raid and
collected forfeits from each of the
eleven players present. All preferred
paying their $40 forfeits to appearing
before Mayor Conway this morning.
The men included the following; H.
Haney, ]. Belt, Robert Lee, Russell
Gibson, c. q. Parlett, B. A. Haney,
David Ledsorks, James Sawyers, Al
bert Beebe, L. Capen and Sylven Led

considered that. Dock officials say
they cannot advanc ethe mems wages
without passing them on the public.
They do not think the men have played
fair because they struck when boats
were in the docks loaded. For sew
eral days last week 500 cars OF steam
coal were unloaded at the Superior
Duluth docks. Receipts Of soft coal
from Indiana and Illinois into southern
Minnesota and parts Of North Dakota
have also been on a larger scale and
have taken the place of fuel that has
been ordinarily shipped from the docks.
Pit Bosses Organize,
Eighty three bit and fire bosses OF
Northern West Virginia formed UNI

are 1900 pit bosses and LOO fire
bosses in the state of West Virginia
and of these there are probably 1900
pit bosses and 900 fire bosses In
northern West Virginia.
