LODGE BLINDED
 BY PARTISANSHIP SAYS SEN. OWEN
Oklahoma Democrat Scores Anti Treaty Leader
 Today.

Washington, Aug. 30-RepEfng in the Senate today to arguments pre- sented by Chairman Lodge, of the foreign relations committee against unreserved ratification of the peace treaty, Senator Owen, Democrat, Oklahoma, declared MT. Lodge had been blinded by partisanship and by a distrust of popular institutions.
 Referring to Senator Lodges par allel between the League of Nations and the ill-famed Holy Alliance. he said the argument had overlooked the intrigue and sefshness which sur rounded the alliance.
 ''The fact that wars followed the treaty of the Holy Alliance" he con- tinued, was because this treaty was between military dynasties made by monarchial autocracies, each held by intrigue. The Senator from Massa- chusetts believes that the promises of these royal scoundrels may be justly compared with the promises and as

 Asks About Ham Sale
QUIZ MAYOR WILSON WHAT BECOME OF $500 WHICH IS UNACCOUNTED FOR IN FIRST
 ISSUE OF THEIR NEWSPAPER

The Newswriter, an organ pub lished by Bridgeport members of the Newswirters' Equity Association pub fishes the following story today:
 The Mayor a month or so ago made a bluff at helping Bridgeport people fight the high cost of living and proposed to the Chamber of Commerce that a. committee go out and purchase government stores for distribution in the city He knew that the Chamber of Commerce, an organization of many retail dealers in the city, would not willingly take up the matter and 1t was an easy way to alfbi himself out of action by making the proposition in such a manner that 1t would fall upon the rocks.
 But the Mayor had committed himself to a policy of food distri- button, eff 1t was possible" and when the War Department offered the goods to municipalities on consign- ment and the Bridgeport Times call ed the turn on Wilson. he had to act.
 He stepped into the city's twin six Packard and rolled to New York where he refused to take bacon, be- cause there was a little more trouble in handling it and purchased O,OOO He returned to Bridgeport and fed the reporters a story that the ham would be sold at cost.
 ''But what actually happened was that one cent per pound was added to each and every one of the 6O,0OO pounds of ham bought and the sum of $500 was cleaned up by Wilson and his food committee on the ham sale designed to kill profiteering and reduce the cost of living.
 Maybe Mir. Wilson will explain what is to be done with the $500 profit on government hams, "sold to the public at cost

GIVEN PROOF OF HIS
 RELATIONS WITH GIRL
 LAvIT ACCEPTS ORDER
TAKEN TO MAYORS OFFICE HE IS MET BY FEDERAL AGENT " TOOK A YOUNG BRIDGEPORT GIRL TO PROVIDENCE
 AND REGISTERED AT HOTEL.

Sam Lavit, stormy petrel of Bridgeport labor disputes for the past four years, has appar- ently left Bridgeport, in com pliance with demands of the Federal and municipal authori- ties. He is reported today that rather than stand trial for vio- lation of the Mann white slave law, Lavit took the only other alternative offered him, name ly removal from the city.
 Police authorities including supe. Redgate, who personally went to Co., Ionial hall and Machinists' hall, searching for the leader of tho Graphophone strikers, failed today to find any trace of the labor leader. Lavit admitted last night to a Times representative that he was going to leave the city, but refused to tell upon what grounds he had been com pelled to take this action.
 The story concerning his compul- sorry departure contains threads which could not be picked up today, but it is known that a Providence hotel a large touring car, several pretty young women and a Federal agent had much to do with his de- parture.
 The first of this week Lavit was scheduled to address a meeting of strikers in Newport and he left this city ostensibly for that purpose On entering a touring car at Broad street, however, he was seen to take with him a friend and two young women
 The four reached Newport and Lavit after delivering his address continued on to Providence, R l. He is alleged to have registered at a hotel and to have acted in such a way that he was liable to be prosecuted under the Mann White Slave act, for taking a young woman out of the state of Connecticut to Rhode Island for immoral purposes.
 After leaving the meeting of the Graphophone strikers at Colonial hall, Lavit accompanied by the mayor went to the latter's office. The story runs that here that a person claiming to be a Federal agent, produced an affidavit signed by the young woman. A resident of this city then, it is said produced additional alleged acts of Lavit which are reported to have been beyond the pale of the law
 Lavit was forcibly told he had but one of two courses to pursue: leave Bridgeport or stand trial for his alleg- ed misdeeds. Lavit signified his will ingness to get out and told both the mayor and the alleged Federal agent that he would be missing in 24 hours. His wife has six weeks to leave.

Irish Ask Senators To
 Reject League Covenant
TELL SENATE COMMITTEE THAT PEACE PACT CREATES SUPER GOVERNMENT OPPOSED
 TO INTERESTS OF IRISH NATION

Washington, Aug. 30-Asking for rejection of the peace treaty, Amer ican representatives of the cause of Irish Freedom told the Foreign Re- lations Committee today that the treaty would create a super-govern- ment against Ireland's interests and would establish British naval supre- macy so firmly as to menace the United States.
 Daniel F. Cohalan, a justice of the Supreme Court of New York; Ed ward F. Dunne, former Governor of Illinois; Frank P. Walsh, Bourke Cochran and others representing va rious Irish organizations, were pres ent. They said they voiced the sen timent of more than 100000 900 Amer ican citizens of Irish blood.
 We citizens of the United States of Irish blood,'' said a memorial read to the committee, "but attached above all things to this Republic and its Constitution, respectfully pray that the proposed treaty now before you be rejected as a direct violation of the principles on which this war was fought as they were defined by Pres ident Wilson.
 Ireland has been asserting contin- uously her claim to independence for eight centuries. One-fffth of this en- tire population of the United States is of Irish extraction. We ask that Ire land be not the only nation excluded from the benefit of the glorious prin- ciples enunciated by Mir. Wilson as those which the great war was fought to establish. We especially denounce Article 10 of the proposed League of Nations as a device to stiffe the con science of civilization and render it impotent to condemn and by con demning to end the oppression of
