CALIFORNIA AVIATOR TO
TRY FOR $50, 900 PRIZE

Venice, Cal, June Announcement
was made by Thomas Fl. Ince, motion
picture producer. that he had receiv-
ed telephone message from Lieuten-
ant A. J. Hanlon of the military avia-
ton station at North Island, near San
Diego, expressing the opinion the pro-
posed trans-Pacific flight, for which
Ince offered $4,000 in prize money,
was entirely feasible. According to
Ince, Lieutenant Banlon said there
were several aviators recently dis
charged from the army who probably
would be willing to attempt the flight.
DR.. Frederick Whitney, wealthy
aviator. who has made a number of
successful flights in southern Cali
fornia, has announced definitely that
he will enter the contest.
1t is pointed out by avIators that 1t
is quite possible for an airplane to go
from here to the Hawaiian islands, as
the distance is only 2,O89 miles.
Ince stated that in the event an
aviator failed to reach Australia, the
goal, but reached the Hawaiian islands,
the flyer would receive $4,000. The
start must be made from here within
six months.

WIRE STRIKE WILL BE
CALLED BY k0NENkAMP
But Newcomb Carlton Says Order viii
Not Call Out Large Percentage
of Operators

Washington June president S. J.
Konenkamp of the C. II. U. A. announc-
ed last night that he would call a ma
tion-wide strike of members of the
union ON reaching Chicago today. He
said that neither the date of the pro-
posed strike nor whether it would af-
feet both the Postal Telegraph Gable
company and the Western Union Tele-
graph and Cable company, had been
decided
The strike, President Konenkamp
said, would be called in support of
union employees of the Western Union
company in,10 southeastern states who
were requested by him to leave their
work following return by order of
Postmaster General Burleson of the
wire systems of the country to pri-
vate operation.
Postoffice department officials,
while intimating that, whereas the wire
systems now were being operated by
the companies, the department was not
concerned in the controversy,
expressed the belief that the strike, If
called, would not seriously affect COM
Western Union officials
here pointed to the statement in New
York yesterday of Newcomb Carlton,
president of the company, that out of
10000 employees eligible to join the G.
I. U. A. only no were members.
Mr. Konenkamp planned to leave
shortly after midnight last |
night for Chicago.
Leaders in congress, despite the
postmaster generals order returning |
the wires to private operation, went |
forward with their plans for legisla- /
lion for repeal of the wire control res
)lution.

U. s. TROOPS ON BOARD
TRANSPORT FOR RETURN

Archangel, June "a contingent of
American infantry which has been
serving in northern Russia has boarded
transport for their journey to the
United States. They are the first
American troops detailed to sail for
home.
Other infantry companies will sail
as soon as transports are available,
but it is probable that the 18th engi-
neers will remain here several weeks
longer. Brigadier General w. p.
Richardson, American commander, ex-
poets to maintain his headquarters at
Archangel a considerable time after
the departure of the troops.
Before boarding the transport, the
Americans were reviewed by General
Ironsides, British commander; Cen
eral Miller, Russian governor general
and General Richardson. General
Miller thanked them for the assist
ance rendered us and for the hard
ships suffered during the hard winter
and wished them happy
and safe return home.

ADDED POWER TO SENATE
INVESTIGATING BOARDS
Democrats Claim Probe into War Ex-
penditures Will Be for Sole Purpose
of Making Political Capital

Washington, June 5.-Unanimous APP
prevail was given by the house yester-
day to q resolution increasing the war
expenditures committee to 10 members
so that five separate investigations of
disposition of funds by the war de-
partment may be made. The vote fol-
lowed two hours debate and refusal
of Republicans to permit the Demo-
Gratis to offer an amendment to the.
resolution under which the committee
membership would have been divided,
nine Republicans and six Democrats
instead of ten Republicans and five
Democrats.
The Republican leaders explained
that inquiries were planned into ex-
penditures for aviation. ordnance.
camps and environments. quartermaster
supplies and in foreign countries.
Each inquiry will be conducted by "A
subcommittee composed of two Re-
publicans and one Democrat.
The resolution came before the
house from the rules committee as u
special order of business. During the
debate the Democrats charged the in
vestigations We're to be>made by the
Republicans ''in search OF political
capital for the 1920 campaign" and
declared they were welcomed by the
administration. Republican spokes-
men, however, said the Investigations
were TO be ''nonpartisan" and were de-
signed to, inform the country what had
become of the sixteen billions of dol
lars appropriated for the war depart
ment during the war.
This is not TO be in the spirit of
making political capital said Repre-
sentative Mondell, the Republican

SENATE INVESTIGATING
PEACE TREATY LEAKAGE
SoIons Ask for Probe to Determine
How Gotham Business Men Beat
Them to Copy of Document

Washington. June 5. = The senate
fight over the treaty with Germany
branched out into new channels yes
terday with the introduction of a res
olution by Senator Hitchcock, ranking
Democrat of the foreign relations COM
mittee, proposing that the committee
investigate statements by Chairman
Lodge and Senator Borah, Republican
committee members, that copies of the
unpublished treaty are in the hands of
certain New York interests.
Senators Lodge and Borah announc-
ed their approval of such an investi-
CATION, which under the resolution
would "seek the names of the persons,
corporations or interests which have
secured copies of said treaty, and from
whom they were secured and by what
methods" The first prediction was
that the measure would be adopted
without opposition and that
an extensive inquiry, possibly involving
testimony by members of the Paris
peace delegations would result.
Senator Borah also announced that
could he secure copy of the treaty
from New York, he would put it into
the senate record and thus give it to
the public. He said he had asked for
a copy for that purpose, and might re-
ceive it today.

Council of Four Discusses Leniency
With Germany on Certain Points
After Experts Have Reported
on the Case

Vienna, June 5.-The first news that
the peace treaty reduced the frontiers
Of the once mighty empire of Austria
came to Vienna by way of Amsterdam
in news agency dispatch.
The news filtered through the city,
but it made scarcely any impression
on the people. The newspapers yes
terday scarcely commented on the
treaty. Editor Benedick of the Neue
Freie Presse received the news at his
country home, but did not come into
Vienna to write on the subject.
The editor of the sArbeiter Zeitung,
however, wrote an editorial.
In the press room at the telegraph
office there was solitary country re-
porter who was vainly endeavoring to
get a telephone connection with out
of town newspapers in order to an
nounce the peace terms. There We're
no crowds in the streets. On the
whole, Austria was fully prepared for
any conditions, and the boundaries as
fixed appeared to have been expected.
The peace offered Austria is generally
regarded as based on might, and not
on President Wilson's IA points.
In some quarters 1t is considered a
trouble breeder for the future, par
ticularly as regards the German popu-
lations given over to the CZechs.
Newspapers will make a show of
protesting along these lines, but Aus
tria seemingly is really interested, as
President Sitz has pointed out, in fl
nancial aid which will make it possible
for Austria to exist.

Paris. June Positive instructions
were issued last night by the council
of four to all commissions working on
the reply to the German counter pro-
posals to complete their reports by
Monday.
There still are many loose ends TO
the determinations which must be
made before the reply of the allies
TO the German counter proposals can
be submitted to Count Won Brockdorff-
Rantzau. head of the German pleni-
potentiaries, and even the question OF
principle regarding changes in the
treaty has not been definitely settled.
Nevertheless, the members of the COM
mission of experts profess confidence
that they will be able to complete their
Ireports to the council of four by Mon
dav or Tuesday, and the members of
the council themselves seem sure that
they will be able to present the allied
reply on Thursday or Friday.
The reply will be submitted as an
uItimatum with a short time limit,
probably about four days, in which
Germany will either have to take or
leave the conditions as offered them

treaty as originally presented. The

reparations commission and prescrib-
ing certain instructions for that body
which. according to the original draft |
of the treaty, was given most COM |
prehensive power of action, subject |
only TO the instructions of the powers |
on the commission.
This new solution which is expected
TO emerge from the deliberations OF
the experts, will dodge fixation of
definite monetary total for repara-
lions. to which the French object on
the ground that announcement of any
sum which it is considered possible to
exact in payment might react upon
the expectations of the French public
as to cause political upheaval.
