U. S. SENATE BODY TO ACT
Calder Promises Thorough In
vestieation of Building All
Over Country.

While most of the persons connected
with the Lockwood Legislative Com
mittee were preparing yesterday to
attack more building trades combina-
lions when the committee resumes its
hearings Tuesday, Senator Abraham
.Kaplan of Manhattan continued what
Samuel UnteunXer has characterized
as an effort to sow dissension in the
ranks of the investigators.
Despite Senator Kaplan's efforts,
however. and the issuance by him of
statement attacking various persons
who have taken leading roles In the
investigation. other members of the
committee and its legal staff who were
found by reporters refused to be drawn
into a controversy.
One of them said "The work before
the committee is too big for its men,
bers to be diverted from their duties
by the drawing of herring across the
TRAIL Charles S. Lockwood, chair
man of the committee, remarked that
certain people who are in the shadow
of trouble would like to have people
who are in the front line delay mat
ters."
Too Late, Says Lockwood.
In commenting upon Senator Kaplan's
objection to the acceptance of pleas OF
guilty, and imposition of fines upon
thirty members of the cut stone contrac-
tors ring" on Friday. Senator Lock
wood said: There are some people
who would prefer to have the matter
drag along in the courts for years
These cut stone contractors have already
testified before the Grand Jury, ana nave
given valuable testimony against men
higher up. Senator Kaplan's offer to
prosecute the cut stone men was made
rather late: ten minutes before their
plea was taken and after they had testi-
fed before the Grand Jury against men
higher up"
Senator Lockwood remarked that the
action of the cut stone men in pleading
. guilty and testifying against other yer
sons in the building trades was Causing
some people considerable worry"

conspicuously in Kaplans statement, is

PITTSBURGH, April 30.-In a statement made public in this city today, William Jennings Bryan de- clares that the recent primary vote is a mild warning that the Ameri- can public does not approve of the attempt of the administration to force the ratification of the peace treaty without reservations. ...*
 Democratic senators. Bryan says, should be governed accordingly. and proceed to ratify the treaty with such reservations as may be neees- sary to insure prompt action.
 The support given Senator John son, Bryan points out, and the de- feat of Hitchcock should be regard ed by the Democrats as protest against the refusal of the Demo- crats ir the senate to permit the ratification of the treaty with any sort of reservations It is also q protest against the treaty in the form in which it was presented to the senate by President Wilson.
