OF CATTLE FAXED
Oliver Cabana Challenges Authority of
Holstein-Friesian Committee to
Expunge Records.

The news of the confession of
Charles H. Cole, formerley of Pawlet
that he had faxed most of his records
of Holstein cattle in the past four
years, which news The Reformer was
the first newspaper in the United
States to publish, has caused something
LOT a commotion among Holstein breed
ers whose cattle are affected, notably
Oliver Cabana whose cattle records
were made principally by Mr. Cole.
F, l.. Houghton and Houghton Seav-
erns of Brattleboro have been in Buff
falo this week in connection with an
investigation of Cole s actions. A des-
patch from Buffalo in this morning IS

session here investigating the charge
that milk records on Oliver Cabana s
Pine Grove farm had been faxed, ad-
journed tonight without decision and
without issuing any Statement. The
committee may convene again in two
weeks in Chicago. Mr.. Cabana denies
the charge made against his records

HEATED DEBATE
Senators Fall and McCumber Bitter in
Discussion of the Peace
Treaty

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Serator
Fall, Republican, of New Mexico, reply,
ing in the senate today to an address
yesterday by Senator McCumher, Re
publican Of North Dakota, eritising the
foreign relations committee for, amend
ing the Shantung provision of the peace
treaty said senators who had not read
the treaty and did not know its con-
tents We're the most insistent that it
be ratified Immediately
Soon after he began speaking Senator
Fall was interrupted by Senator Nelson
Republican, of Minnesota, who asked
what he proposed to do with the treaty.
o There is no use attempting to chop
this treaty into mincement,' declared
the Minnesota senator. If that is the
senator S object he will find that mince-
meat will be wiped aside by the SEN
ate. -
Later interruptions of Senator Fall s
speech by Senator McCumber led to
one of the bitterest exchanges since the
treaty debate began. Facing each other
at distance of few feet the two
senators raised their voices and pounded
their desks to emphasize their declara.
tions.
When Senator Fall said that Senator
McCumber had defended on the ground
of justice the award to Japan of good:
stolen by Germany from China, = Mr.
MeCumber sprang to his feet and shout
ed 81 deny that statement in toto an6
absolutely and unquaIifedly. > ''I have
never taken the ground that the act OF
Germany was fair and moral"
"1ou defend the Shantung provision,
retorted Senator Fall "fand claim thai
Japan had the right to take Shantung
"And she derives that right under /;
solemn pledge to return it, but you leav,
Z, that out of your statement reioinet
Senator McCumber.
| Senator McCumber said that as Sen
Fall was prescribing for the conduct o
senators he should take some of hi
own medicine adding "and you vii

SENATORS DEBATE
SHANTUNG CHANGES
Senator McCumber Declares Lodge
Amendment Will Cause War With
Japan-Borah Defends It.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-The con-
troversy over the amendment adopted
by the senate foreign relations commit
tee to restore to China economic rights
in the Shantung peninsula, instead of
turning them over to Japan, as the
treaty with Germany provides, ragged
for four hours yesterday in the upper
body.
In bitter speech Senator McCumber
of North Dakota, the only Republican
member of the committee who voted
against the amendment, denounced the
action of the committee as a dagger
thrust at the treaty. Mr.. McCumber
said he saw in the majority's lineup
for the Lodge amendment a political
move to undo the work of President
Wilson in Paris.
Senator McCumber asserted that the
effect of the Lodge amendment, if car
ried in the senate, would be to force the
United States out of participation in
the treaty. for Great Britain and France
because of their agreement with Japan,
he contended, could not consistently up
hold any such action. The United
States, in that event, he said, would
have to make separate treaty with
Germany
The North Dakota senator asserted
that adoption of the amendment un-
! questionably would offend Japan and
IN the end, create situation that might
mean war, with the United States hav-
ing forced itself into the position of
taking up arms for China He charae-
| terized any attempt on the part of the
senate to intervene in the Shantung adj
| justment as "unwarranted and danger
Gus - interference
Mr.. McCumber recalled the promise
given by Japan to the allied delegates
| at Paris to return the former German
privileges in the Shantung peninsula
within a reasonable time. and said the
United States had no right to question
| Japan S integrity The entire matter
he said, could easily be cleared up un
der the league of nations. If the leagu,
! project were upset through the United
States putting itself out of the treaty
h" said, the Shantung problem would
have to be solved, sooner or later, b1
force OF arms.
Senator Borah of Idaho. who voted
/ for the Shantung amendment in tn,
committee, defended the committee : ac
ton, saying that Japan had failed t.
indicate any real intention Of restoring
the privileges granted under the treaty
Japan, he said. would have a lease -holt
running for eighteen years under tn,
treaty upon the railroad. mine, eabh
and other privileges on the Shantun.

under threat of war in 1898.
In colloquv with Senator MeReIIor

ness, industry, and finance, beginning with
the industrial revolution and continuing
to the present date. The addition of this
course is IN keeping with present-day edu-
cational tendencies, and recent recon-
mendations from the commissioner of edu-
cation in Washington have included as
the most important single change in high
school education the establishment Of such
course, Brattleboro high school is one
OF the few schools in the state to intro,
duce such course this year.

DIR. PARKER GIVES
ADDRESS ON RUSSIA
Lecture Preceded by Pageant, The
Wop, by Local Children and Stunts
by Boys-Exhibition by Trained
Pets in the Afternoon.

Chautauqua is over for this year in
Brattleboro, but it will return next
year, with course of entertainments
as good or better than that which
closed last night in the tent on the
thigh school grounds. The course was
a success in every way, the attractions
were of a high order of merit, and now
that Chautauqua has been resumed
here it is presumed that the advance
sale of tickets for another season viii
exceed that of the present season.
Previous to last night ali but seven
OF the necessary number of guarantors
Tor next year s course had been OBJ
tanned, and between the attractions
Supt. Cook had canvass made bv q
committee with the result that in a
Few minutes announcement was made
that the seven needed names had been
secured. The statement was greeted
with much applause.
The first part of the evening PROGRAM
was pageant entitled The Wop, or
| Americans All, which had been in prep
aration all the week under the direc
ton of the Junior Chautauqua leaders
and was presented bv the bows and
girls of Junior Chautauqua. The pag-
cant was full of dramatic excellence.
In which by song and action the les
son was finely impressed on young and
old that all Americans were worthy. if
true TO the national ideals. whether
| wops, the old word for Italians. or
native born.
In dialogue. spiritedly begun by two
lads presenting both sides of the
'wop" argument and then continued
| by their two sisters, and later by
the whole junior family. it was dra-
matieally pictured, sung and told that
the alien born had made Just as
great sacrifices for America, bought
many Liberty bonds, fought for and
beside the native American for the
| common country, planted war gar
dens and helped save food, all for the
sake of the q. S. The birth land was
no bar to their genuine Amerieanism
Through the dialogue and the songs
and the tableaux the lesson went
strong that natives and aliens are one
in service for America, in the duties
and the blessings which that service
entails, and the whole play was fine
| illustration of practical training for
goOu clIlzenSnlp.
The settlement of the dispute as to
the better citizen was by Uncle Sam,
after the naughty American boy who
wished to have nothing in common
with the foreigners had admitted his
| mistake.
The Junior leaders, Miss Clapp and
| Miss Jacobs, had the assistance of the
| junior local committee, Miss Florence
II
Jessie Ransom, in preparing the play, in
which large number of children, rep
resenting various nations, participated.

West AS Soon AS He
Can Get Away
WILL NOT STAY
TO GREET PERSHING
Thinks Speeches Are Of More Impor-
tance-May Meet the General in st.
Louis-Will Review the Pacific Fleet
September Is.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-President
Wilson will begin his trip to the Pacific
coast just as soon as details can be ar
ranged, probably within 10 days or two
weeks. Secretary Tumulty made this
definite announcement today adding that
the President felt he should make the
trip. 1t is regarded as likely that the
President will reach the Pacific coast in
time to review the Pacific fleet at San
Francisco Sept 10.
Secretary Tumuty said the tour would
occupy about % days 'if the President
can stand it." The President was repre-
sented as regarding it more pressing than
ever that he should make the trip and
it was explained that he woEld not neces-
sarily wait for the peace treaty to be re-
ported to the senate by the foreign re
lations committe.
While the President wishes to start
on his tour very soon there are various
elements that must be considered inelud
ing his desire to greet General Pershing
when he arrives in New York next week
Secretary Tumulty said the President
felt that the speech-making tour was OF
greater Importance and that possibly he
would greet General Pershing somewhere
in the West, probably at st. Louis, as
the General plans to go to his old home
in Missouri soon after returning from
overseas.
