SEEKS TO SEND PACT
DIRECT TO SENATE


strongly for the treaty are now shift
ing ground to a striking extent.
One significant letter Of this sort
came to Senator Borah Qda.) from
Bishop Quayle of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. 1t was, the Senator
said. a general and vigorous opposi-
ton not merely to the Far Eastern
features but to the whole programme
of settlement and league explanation.
Mr.. Borah said he did not feel at lib
erty to allow publication OF the letter
without special permission and was
wiring the Bishop asking his assent.
The Foreign Relations Committee
has received no sign from the Presi-
dent OF his desire to appear before 1t
to explain the treaty, and no confer
ence with the President Is in contem-
plation, according to Mr.. Lodge. 1t
was pointed out to-day that the Sem
ate's rules from the very beginning OF
the Government have provided for the
manner OF the Presidents reception

Senate. He is to sit on the right hand

Mr.. Lodge. adding that he did not

Mr.. Borah added something interesting.
He expressed the opinion that, II

ton for the Senate's consideration he
would be able to get these same docu-
ments from the French sources and see
that they were made available. His
success In producing for the record

forthcoming from the Administration
gave a particular point to this susges-
ton.

EXPORT AND IMPORT
OF WHEAT UNDER BAN
Flour Covered Too-Barnes
to Prescribe Limitations.

WAsHINGroN, July 16. - President
Wilson signed to-day an executive
order increasing the guaranteed price
of the 1919 wheat crop to $2.3o a bushel
at Galveston and New Orleans
At the same time a Presidential proc
lamation was issued declaring that ito
protect the United States against undue
enhancement of Its liabilities" under the
law guaranteeing wheat prices on and
after July 1 no wheat or wheat flour
should be imported into or exported from
the United States except under pre-
scribed limitations to be fixed by julius
H. Barnes. Wheat Administrator.
1t Is expected that the higher price
established for wheat at Galveston and
New Orleans will divert from Atlantic
terminals a part Of the crops flow for
export and thus relieve the strain on
common carriers and terminal facilities.
In additional executive orders the
President approved the licensing plan
put into effect by Director Barnes pro-
viding that all persons dealing in wheat,
except growers. brokers who handle less
than fifty barrels of -four a month. and
common carriers must be licensed.

operate under II in any municipality un-
III II had obtained a specific consent from
that municipality. The latter received
the right to make such terms for opera
ton in that consent as II saw 1T In
the Quinby case the Court OF Appeals de-
cided that the Public Service Commission
had no right to increase a rate OF fare
fixed in such a constitutional consent.
But according to Mr.. Farley this lack
of power OF the commission would not
extend to extensions OF the original line
or to Joint traffic agreements between
various companies. In effect this would
mean that while the commission could
not increase a rate OF fare over an origi-
nal line, fixed under a constitutional con-
sent since 1874, Il could order an In
creased rate over many of the systems
in New York city, which are made up
of various lines. operating under sepa-
rate franchises. For instance, the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit system is made up OF
scores of different lines, while the New
York City Railways is formed from a
consolidation of many lines.
To take a hypothetical case, II the
original consent for the Broadway line
carried II only as far as Columbus Circle
and the remainder of the route was
constructed as an extension, the Public
Service Commission under the rulings
Of the Court Of Appeals could not in
crease the fare to Columbus Circle above
cents, but could grant permission to
the company &c charge any fare that
It thought proper for ride beyond
that point.

STREET LINES NEED
BILLION EACH YEAR
This Sum Required for AIDE
quate sery'ae, Expert Tells
Commission.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Street rail-
ways of the United States will need
total Of approximately $1,000, 100000
each year to enable them to meet ade-
quately the demands made by the public.
according to estimates given the Federal
Electric Railways Commission to-day by
w. G. Bradlee. president of the Stone
and Webster Management Association
Of Boston.
Mr.. Bradlee declared that between
$500, 900, 900 and 800. 100000 in new
capital was needed annually for extern
sions and improvements and probably
t35O, 900. 900 for refunding OF outstand-
ing obligations, He said that little had
been done In the way of improvements
in the last four years owing to war
conditions.
There are only two ways to obtain
this money" Mr.. Bradlee said, either
through municipal ownership or through
the establishment of some plan 80 that
the investor will feel that he can count
on q reasonable return II he invests In
street railway securities"
Guy E. Trip, chairman of the COM
mittee Of one hundred representing the
American Electric Railway Association,
predicted that many OF the larger elec-
trio lines would be In bankruptcy before
the commission completed its hearings.
Mr.. Trip told the commission he be-
leved the first method for calculating
earnings would be to take the Issues
of securities, determine whether the
money they produced was put In the
properties, extract any water" and use
the result
Taking up the surface traffic situation
in New York city Mr.. Trip said he
did not believe the one man car could
be successfully operated there. because
Of traffic conditions and the unusual
crowding in the rush hours. He said that
cars are now operated on New York
streets as closely as Is possible.

not merely In those OF the American
delegation. My friend could furnish a
fair Impression Of the character and
contents Of the document"
The Foreign Relations Committees
reading of the treaty had been unex-
pectedly interesting to members. One
observed to-day that II was a revelation
to note how thorough had been the op-
Grafton Of taking everything away from
Germany.
Absolutely nothing has been over
looked he said, from n schoolhouse in
China to the astronomical instruments
the Germans abstraoted from the ancient
observatories in China. Those lnstru-
ments, by the way, are Of the creates,
interest They are hundreds of years
old. magnificent instruments and in
bronze. The taking Of them was a par
ticulariy outrageous affair which was
widely denounced at the time"
The committees reading Of the treaty
has not yet reached the financial and
economic clauses. which relate to the
establishment OF international business
relations, dealings in insurance and the
like. These the committee has found by
far the most complex and difiicult to
understand.
Throughout this preliminary examina-
ton of,the treaty there has been nothing
like debate from which could be devel-
oped an impression of the attitude that
Senators will take toward particular
matters.
Acting Secretary Of State Polk called
on Senator Lodge this morning and the
fact was occasion for much comment
But as a matter of fact they discussed
nothing relating to the treaty. Mr.. Polk
is about going away from Washington
ana the call was rather formal. He did
not brig the text Of the American draft
for League OF Nations, Senator Lodge
said.
But 1 hope" added the Senator,
that we will finally get It. II will be
Interesting to compare the American
draft with the one before US"
One curious detail concerns the dispo-
sltlon of the German colonies The Saar
Basin Is placed under the administration
and sovereignty of the League of Ma
tons pending the plebiscite fifteen years
hence. But the German colonies are
turned over not to the League Of Ma
lions but to the Ave great Powers, the
United States, Great Britain. France,
italy and Japan. Thus a distinction
which IL by no means without difference
is drawn between the League of Ma
lions and the five great Powers which
dominate the league.
Committee members explain that the
paragraphs Of the treaty which have
been earmarked for amendment by Sem
ators relate generally to the assumption
by the United States of obligations in
connection with the administration of
TIE treaty conditions.
Senator Sherman (IlL) intends to
speak tomorrow on the Shantung settle
ment. Mr.. Lodge also will address the
Senate on that subject before conclusion
Of the discussion. but is not yet able TO
tell when.
