Republican Senators Con-
fer to Shape Policy on

Come Out in Favor of
Amended Draft.
LODGE RETURNS HERE

Republican leaders here have urged
caution upon their fellow members OF
the Senate in discussing the revised
league Of nations covenant
Senators Lodge and Curtiss. Repuo-
lican leader and whip. respectively,
sent the following telegram to all
their party Senators:
I'VE suggest that Republican Sen
ators reserve final expressions OF
opinion respecting the amended league
covenant until the latest draft has
been carefully studied and until there
8 has been opportunity for CONFER
ence."
Conferences Are Begun.
Republican Senators who signed the
round robin demanding amendment
of the league of nations covenant yes
terday began conferences to determine
their position on the amended draft
Senator Lodge, Republican leader
and author of the round robin" re-
turned to Washington and took a
leading part in the conferences. These
informal meetings may be followed
later by a meeting OF al, Senators
who signed the robin" and that may
be followed by a Republican caucus at
which the party will discuss whether
u VIII act as a unit WIN ECSpCSl ~
the covenant or leave individual MEM
bers free to vote as they choose.
Definite action of some sort was
urged on Lodge and other leaders on
the grounds that the Republicans
must tell the country where they
stand or throw themselves open TO
the charges Of "pussyfooting."
Yesterdays conferences developed
two clearly defined lines OF thought
among the signers. Some strongly IA
vored accepting the amended draft
with the claim that the amendments
constitute a great victory for Repuo-
ncan Senators. They said the coun-
try and the world demand some sort
of peace league and the amended pact
Is better than the original.
Others insisted there should be no
compromise on the grounds that the
proponents of the league having
yielded so far as to amend. have
thereby admitted its imperfections and
might be defeated in a finish fight on
the whole plan
Fear Foreign Alliances.
These Senators declared the amend
ments have not removed the objec-
tions that 1t enmeshes the United
States in foreign affairs and will
eventually entail a surrender of SOW
ereignty.

INSURANCE BUREAU
CHIEF RESIGNS

Secretary of the Treasury Glass
has asked for the resignation of Col
onel Henry D. Lindsey, who has
been Director of the War Risk In
surance Bureau at Washington since
last December. In long letter to
Secretary Glass, made public by
Colonel Lindsey, the letter accused
the Secretary of indifference to the
work of his department, asked for an
increase of authority to perform GER
tain tasks and made specific charges
to the effect that appointments rec
commended by him had not been acted
upon for a long time after heir ini-
tiai proposal. In his sharp reply to
this letter the Secretary of the
Treasury said in part:
when the Directors deliberately
offensive letter was written there
had been promptly approved by the
Secretary of the Treasury and Act
ing Secretary o.lo8 recommendations
for appointments and increases of
salary, leaving but three unacted on,
and two of these three were approv-
ed before the receipt of Director
Lindsley's remarkable letter.
"The Secretary ventured to make
inquiry about two of these appoint
ments because the salaries attached
were high, in contrast with others,
one of them being equivalent to that
of the Director of the bureau, and
not unnaturally the Secretary de-
sired to know a little more definite
ly the reason for this. The other of
the three delayed appointments was
held back for the reason that on Feb.
last the Secretary instituted in
quiry as to the nature of the duties
to be performed for $50 per day. On
April 8 word came to the effect that
the duties to be performed had been
inaccurately stated in the original
papers" =

DAYS OF ATHENS GREATNESS
Emperor Hadrian Did Much Toward
Making the City Religious Center
for All HeIIas.

1t was during Hadrian's first visit
to Athens (about 124 A. d. that he
made plans for rebuilding the majestic
temple Of Olympian Zeus. He added
signally to the adornment Of Athens
with many temples and other build
ings; he built an aqueduct to bring
the water Of Cephissus to the city,
and at Corinth he constructed aque-
ducts to bring to that city the water
from Lake Stymphalus. Sparta was
then the most important city in the
PelOponnesus. and the visit of Ha-
drian there is established by an in
scriptiOn. He was absent from Rome
three years at this time, returning
ascent Of Mount Etna to witness sun
rise. GregOrovius believes he has evil
dence that proves Hadrian to have
been in Athens again In the year 1872
A. D., and he assumes that the great
temple Of Olympian Zeus was then
completed and dedicated. Not for
centuries had Athens known any such
magnificent festival as that Of the ded
lcation Of this Olympleion. It was
made national festival, with repre-
sentatives from every city in Greece,
as the Oiympian Zeus was the new.
religious center for all Hellas. The
dedicatory address was delivered BY

The Curnmins Rairoad
Plan to Re-Anange
R. R. System
Raads to be Distributed Among
Fifteen or Twenty New,
Systems, Plan Of Gem
mission

Realizing that the Railroad ques-
tion is one of the most important
problems before the country today
Senator Cummins of Iowa, who will
be Chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Committee in the Sixty-sixth
Congress. has made public the out
line of his plans for legislation on
the. disposition of the railroads. The
main features of the plan are: first,
that the roads be organized in fif-
teen or twenty systems, although not
on the regional plan; second that the
Government. should guarantee the
roads some fixed minimum of earn
ings, for example four percent, on
their caluation; and third, that the
roads should be operated by private
corporations, organized under Fed
eral law
In giving his reasons for the first
of these provisions the Senator said
taht it was designed to protect the
weak lines:
when large road and weak road
compete in the same territory" the
Senator said, they must make the
same rates, and those rates must
either starve the poor or else give its
powerful neighbor 1earnings that
would be regarded as excessive and
a burden on business. Putting them
together makes it possible to pro-
vide identical rates and avoid either
starving one or or overwhelming the
other"
The Senator admitted that there
would be objections from many re-
sources against giving Government
guarantee to the railroads, but he
defended the plan as follows:
at (the Government guarantee)
will be objected to as giving special
preferment and security to private
capital invested in railroads. But,
under the conditions that will be inn
posed, of limited profits. Govern
ment controlled rates, and the like,
they will largely lose the attributes
of private property. Taking any
period of three years in their history,
the roads will be found to have aver
aged higher earnings than they would
be guaranteed under this plan; so
the business community would not
be losing by it.
Before the roads are turned over
to these proposed new systems their
actual value will have to be deter
mined. The Bureau of Valuation of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has been engaged for several
years in making such valuation. In
speaking of the progress of the
Committee the Senator said:
Actual valuations have been COM
pleted of only small group of
roads, and these all minor ones. But
on the other hand the inventory of
the railroad property of the country
is about 90 per cent finished. In adj
dition the commission has decided
many Of the difficult questions that
must be settled in order to fix the

and much the longest and most haz-
ardous leg of the transatlantic
flight. The other two planes were
less fortunate. While early dispatch
es stated that both had arrived safely
at the Azores shortly after the NC4,
later reports showed that, when near
the Azores, both planes lost their
way in dense fog.
A distance of $50 miles separateo
the NC-4 from the continent Of
Europe, its goal, and now that Haw-
ker is on his way to ireland in an ef-

Air Service, from which are quoted
the following extracts:
We may reasonably expect in the
near future to have transcontinental
airships in the United States capable
of carrying 200 tons of useful load.
Obviously it will be such airships
that will transport the f;rst-class
mail and some passengers AirplaneS
will not be displaced by these man,

of the planes in great number will be
the local distribution of mail in all
directions from the mail air-ship
stops across the continent.
"Airships having a gas capacity of
100000 cubic feet are now success
fully flying in Europe. Such ships
have gross lifting capacity of six
ty tons and a useful lift of about
twenty tons available for fuel, pas
sengers, and merchandise.
"As the size increases the lift be-
comes materially larger. Further
more the length and diameter of the
100000 ship will be only IL great
er than the existing 100000 ship. %.

tion inaugurating regular airship SER
