ROME PAPER URGES
 SENATE TO CHECK
 PRESIDENT 'SCOURSE
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ


 ROME, Tuesday. Feb. 17-America is going through such a crisis of over production that she needs European markets as much as Europe needs her goods. in the opinion of the Popolo Romno, which today comments on President Wilson's note relative to the Adriatic settlement. =. -. .....
 Urging United States Senators Lodge, sherman and Knox. ito show the strength of the majority of the senate in preventing Mir. Wilson's in reference in European affairs, the newspaper adds:
 Secretary Lansing resigned too late. He was straightforward, con- scientious and loyal man until he went to Paris, where becoming the blind instrument of President Wilson, he lost the esteem of friends and ad- versaries alike. Mir. Lansing, Henry White and General Bliss were in fact mere marionettes which were moved at the pleasure of the stage manager of the theater at Versailles. At the same time Colonel House was entrust- ed to the negotiation of foreign af fairs, not for America but for Presi- dent Wilson.
 Mir. Lansing, assisted by a very com potent staff, repaired many preSiden- tial blunders. He opposed the league of nations and favored the establish ment o1 an international tribunal suf- ficiently strong to pass valid verdicts. He also differed from Mir. Wilson on the Russian question, mandates, the Adriatic dispute and the Turkish prob lem. Usurpation of power is unknown in the history of America and the president acted withput the consent of the only body having the right to give 1.-the American senate and people,"

VLADIVOSTOk, Jan. 31-AII the country btween here and the Man churian boundary was in the hands of the revolutionists tonight. Railway traffic was being resumed.
 Americans in Siberian were bending every effort toward speedy evacuation of all Czechs and Americans, and trains from the interior were being hastened toward Vladivostok
 Jap Policy Still Unknown.
 The Japanese fundamental policy to- ward Siberia was still unannounced but growing anti-intervention feeling of the Russians was indicated by first proclamations of the new Zemstvo gov- ernment.
 Many Russians officers, including Governor General Rozanoff, escaped by entering Japanese headquarters, the revolutionists said. An effort will be made to extradite General Rozanoff from the Japanese, that he may be tried in civil courts for alleged crimes com- mitted as governor general, Zemstvo officials said. The Associated Press correspondent accompanied the revolu- tionists, who entered General Rozan- offs staff headquarters this evening. A scant dozen staff officers were found there. They knew nothing of what was happening in the city. General An tonovitch and the staff of Admiral Smirnoff a Kolchak supporter, were disarmed by the revolutionists.
 The revolutionists informed the Ko1- chalk officers they were under arrest and asked for their arms A few of the officers were placed under guard. but others were told to go about their business.

WOULD HAVE SUPREME COURT DECIDE UPON
 WILSON'S DISABILITY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S-President Wilson's extended illness and the at tendant discussion as to whether he was incapacitated for continuing his als in the house to clarify and supple ment constitutional provision on the subject.
 It was made clear, however, that neither proposal was aimed at Presi- dent Wilson. the intent being to define the procedure for future emergencies beyond any possibility of misconstruc- tion or partisan action.
 The first proposal was in the form of a resolution for a constitutional amendment, introduced by Represent ative Fess, of Ohio, chairman of the proposing to have the supreme court determine the ability of a president to discharge his duties, whenever author ized by concurrent resolution of con- gross. If congress was not sitting when the emergency arose, the vice. president would be authorized to call a special session.
 Unless the constitution expressly states that congress hall be the judge of the disability of the executive MT. Fees said, .'it is argued that it can not safely be allowed by inference, espec- departments might belong to differ ent political parties.
 "The uncertainty of the constitu- tional question would strongly argue the wisdom if not necessity of an amendment pointing the way out of a possible embarrassment"
 Virtually the same procedure was outlined in a bill introduced by Repre- sentative Rogers, republican of Mas sachusetts, and referred to the judici- ary committee along with the Fess resolution.
 It would provide that the supreme court on the request of the senate or house should determine whether the president ''is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office within the meaning of the constitution" The same tribunal would be authorized to say whether the presidents inability had been removed, in which case he would be restored to office.

Republican A. p. Leased WireI

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 1s.-Morris Hillquit, socialist leader, who de- tended soviet Russia while testifying as | a witness for the defense at the in vest1gation of the five suspended SO clailst assemblymen, charged with dis loyalty. today denied he was "a paid counsellor or advocate of the Russian soviet bureau in the United States, or or Ludwig C. A. K Martens, Russian soviet ambassador"
 Under verbal cross fire from Martin Conboy, MT. Hillquit admitted he was counsel, but not counsellor" for the Russian bureau. He declared, however. his appointment had not influenced his testimony, and asserted he had never received any payment, big or small, from the soviet government or MT. Martens, directly or indirectly"
 Wasn't a check drawn to your or der for S3o00?" asked MT. Conboy.
 None for s300O or 5000 cents."
 And I presume it will be a surprise to you if we will produce the check?''
 Ut will be welcome surprise if you hand it to me-
 No check was produced and Mir. Hillquit continued his testimony. He said that for the last year he had ad vised MT. Martens regarding the best way to accomplish his worthy" mis- sion to this country. and had aided him in organization of his office
 On direct examination this morning Mir. Hillquit, in his dual role of chief counsel and first witness for the de- fenSe, testified American socialists weer not bolshevists, but that they sympathized with soviet Russia be- cause it was conducting "a great so cial experiment leading to an ideal state" He denied, however. that American socialists desired to intro duce the soviet system here, and ex- plained his testimony regarding true" conditions in Russia was introduced only to refute the charge that social ists in this country endorsed state of "chaos" and anarchy
 The prosecution brought out in cross examination that MT. Hnlquit had not been to Russia since the out break of the war and had formed his opinions from "preconceived notions and from literature and reports favor ing the present regime, as we'll as from accounts Of a few observers.

With a majority of from seven to one to ten to one, varying on the three separate questions voted upon. the high school bond issue won an over whelming victory at the polls at the high school. yesterday. When the polls closed al $ o'clock last night. 491 votes had been cast by taxpayers and the bond issue had been voted by long odds
 The voting was upon three separate questions, and on each the bond issue had big majority. The three ques- tions, and the vote on each, follow:
 l. Shall bonds be issued in the amount of $460,000 for the purpose of erecting three additional buildings For, APT; against, 64.
 ?. Shall the streets adjacent to the buildings be paved? For, A; against. 39
 g. Shall bonds in the amount of s40,000 to pay for this paving be issued For, AS; against, Al.
 Result PIeases
 The building of the three additional buildings for the high school group and the improvement of the streets about the group was definitely as- sured as a result of the vote, and the high school board of trustees last night expressed itself as highly gratified at the result.
 The ballots at yesterdays election will now be counted at a meeting of the board of trustees next Tuesday. and a report to the supervisors made Actual work in preparation for the construction will then begin An ef- fort will be made to have the three new buildings, or some of them, ready for use by the time school opens next fall.
 A good deal of interest on the part of the taxpayers was evident in the election. as manifest in the heavy -nre ffRr- larger number of persons would have voted had it not been for a statement in the afternoon paper that the polls would be open until g. The polls closed at 6, as they were supposed to. and the 90 or more persons who ap- cast their ballots.
 Students Urge Bonds
 T thought I didn't have time to come and vote, but my kid made me" remarked one business man as he ap- preached the voting place in the high school. .'He says he won't go to this this school if I don't come and try to help them get enough buildings to take care of the pupils
 T had a. notion not to come either'. said another man, but my two girls will be in high school in a few wears and mother thought I'd better come and do my bit, if only for their sake
 Such comments were heard more than once during the day, giving proof that Phoenix has realized that q school group built for 500 pupils cannot care for 1900, the present enrolment, ef- ficiently. At the present rate of in- crease there will be 1,500 pupils Tn the high school next year, making the additional three buildings more nee essary than ever.
 In the election the bond issue found valuable and loyal support among the nigh school students fhnrf7-alx-ae. persons who voted for the bonds did so at the exhortation of their children in high school, and high school pupils also brought persons to the polls in motor cars. Throughout, the high school students and faculty members have been ardent advocates of the bond issue which, now passed, wiH provide for the very necessary addi- tional facilities for efficient work in the school
