U. S. SENATE WANTS
COPIES OF TREATY
ASKS STATE DEPARTMENT TO
FURNISH COPIES
Probe Ordered Into Revealing of I'M
published Terms of Treaty in New
York-Few Members Present When
Action Taken.

Washington, June g. Resolutions
asking the state department for the
text Of the treaty with Germany and
directing the foreign relations COM
mittee to investigate how copies OF
the unpublished document have reach
ed private hands in New York were
adopted by the Senate today without
a roll call.
Action on the two proposals came
unexpectedly during a lull in the
stormy debate they had aroused, and
scarcely score of senator's were in
the chamber when in quick succession
the resolutions were put to a vote.
Their passage itself, however, was
no surprise, as it generally had been
conceded that each would have a ma
jority.
5 The request for the treaty will be
referred by state department officials
to President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing at Paris and pending a reply
no official opinion is available here as
to whether the text will be forth
coming.
Under tt-< investigation resolution,
introduced at the request Of the White
House by Senator Hitchcock, Me-
braska, senior Democrat of the for
eign relations committee, it is expect
ed that far-reaching inquiry will
begin within a few days.

WEATHER IN TENNESSEE
is UNFAVORABLE

Nashville, Tenn, June 11.-Sum-
mary of weather and crop conditions
in Tennessee for the week ending
June 10: Two or three days Of fair
weather in the middle of the week
admitted of considerable cultivation
of corn and cotton, and in some To-
calities wheat harvest began. The
conditions were more favorable in the
east than in the western and middle
sections. Field work, however, is still
far behind in most sections. Show
cry weather set in again about the
end of the week. The temperature
conditions were favorable for the
growth of crops, but unfortunately
the grass and weeds did not fail to
grow very rapidly. Much cotton land
is not yet planted and some Of it will
probably be given to other crops. Cot
ton made only fair progress. 1t is
generally much in need of chopping
and cultivation. Corn made good
progress, especially in the east, and
it's condition generally is good. How
ever, much corn land remains to be
planted. Except in a few counties,
wheat seems to be a very good crop,
and much of it is ready to cut. The
transplanting of tobacco is still de-
layed in some important parts of the
area, but uplands that have been set
are growing well Potatoes and hay
crops grew rapidly. The conditions
were unfavorable generally for saw
ing alfalfa and other hay. The pros
poets for .neaches average fair to
good Apples generally are poor.

SENATE PASSES WIRE
CONTROL REPEAL ACT
UNION TELEGRAPHERs STRIKE
IN MANY CITIES
Not Believed Biographies Strike
Will Prove Serious, Although Sym
pathetic Strikes Are Threatened
Wires Now in Hands Of Owners.

Washington, June 10.-0n the eve
of the nationwide telegraphers' strike
both bodies of Congress today 0gted
to end quickly government control
Of the country's wire systems.
The Senate passed unanimously the
bill for repeal forthwith of the
law authorizing federal jurisdiction
over telegraph, telephone, cable and
radio lines, while the House interstate
commerce committee agreed to report
legislation ending government wire
control June 80, next.
No move was made by the postoffice
department touching the situation,
and officials said none would be
made, the return of wire operations
having left the situation to the hand
ling Of private management. AT the
same time officials lately responsible
for the conduct Of the telegraph sys-
TENS were inclined to discount the
possibility that communications would
be seriously hampered by the strike
of telegraph operators. The threatened
walk-out Of electrical workers was
said to have more serious POSSIBLE
tiles.
The Senate, in adopting the repeal
bill, approved an amendment to con
tinue present telephone rates 80 days,
or until the tariffs can be adjusted by
ate commissions.
Democratic and Republican senators
joined in support of the repeal bill, Of
which Senator Kellogg, Republican, Of
Minnesota, is the author, and also in
criticism of the taking over of the
wires and the result of government
operation Debate in the Senate was
brief and the bill was passed without
a record vote. 1t now goes to the
House, the interstate commerce com
mittee of which will meet again on
Thursday with view to prompt
action.
In addition to the amendment con-
tinuing existing toll and local ex-
change telephone rates for 30 days,
the Seate also adopted an amend
inent by Senator Sheppard, Democrat,
Of Texas, providing that the govern
ment control should not be a defense
by the wire companies in private
damage suits.
Many senator's in today'sa debate
declared that no necessity required
taking over Of the wires and that
government operation has been I'M
satisfactory.

good Of them to turn their home so
completely over to our children, and

The farmers are quite busy, some

others harvesting their wheat, etc.
Their blues will soon fade away and
a smile take their place if it doesn't

Mount Carmel is a great place for
smiling faces when it isn't raining
too much.
