MOORE'S VISIT
CAUSES GOSSIP

John Bassett Moore, formerly AS
sistant Secretary of State and Coun-
selor of the State Department, call
ed at the department yesterday,
where he was greeted by many of
his former associates and friends.
His last connection with the depart
ment in an administrative way was
as counselor during the regime of
Mr.. Bryan as Secretary of State. Mr..
Moore left that position unexpect-
edly.
1t is not unlikely that the eleva-
tion of Bainbridge Colby to the post
of Secretary of State will result in
several changes in the staff Of the
department. Resignation of Frank
l.. Polk. Undersecretary of State, Is
expected as the next move in this
reorganization, and gossip yesterday
concerning Mr.. Moore's visit pointed
toward his becoming Mr.. Polk's sue
cessor.
Mr.. Polk called at the White
House yesterday. Asked if he in
tended to resign Immediately, he
said: MY plans are just what they
have always been. 1 will stay on
and help all I can"
Confirmation of cambridge Colby
as Secretary Of State probably will
be delayed for weeks by the Senate.
it was apparent yesterday. Mean
while, however, there will be moth
ing to prevent him from taking up
his duties.

Three separate assaults made by
three distinct forces were directed
against the White House yesterday
in a final effort to defeat the Cum

cling President Wilson to veto it.
The attacking parties were COM
posed of railroad union representa-

ic Representatives who. after hav-
ing voted for the conference report
under a Misrepresentation are said
to have seen the light" and are
now desirous of defeating the meas
ure.
The Representatives conducted
their assaults mostly by letter. 1t Is
understood they admitted. in their
communications to the White
House. having become confused in
the issues on the railroad bill by the
induction of the labor controversy

Would Recall Votes.
In considering the prospect of be-
ing charged with trucking to la

the real issues in the legislation
and voted for the conference report
After the vote, however, they con-
Quilted some of their better-ad vised
colleagues who had studied the bill.
and became anxious to recall their
votes.
The labor representatives and the
farmers conducted their fight in the
open. Marching to the White House.
fifteen strong, the labor delegation
presented a resolution adopted by
the affiliated railroad labor organi-
cations urging the President ito
veto this bill and return it to Con-
gress without your approval. firmly
believing that only by such course
can an orderly solution of the prob
lem now confronting the American
people be achieved"
= The farmers urged the freyid .rn
to veto the bill because "ft contains
vicious provisions antagonistic to
American pfinciples:" because of
widespread industrial and economic
disccntent; because it would in

Dardanelles Never Closed

Lloyd George.

London, Feb. &c. - when the
treaty with Turkey Is published the
greatest enemy of the Turk will

Lloyd George in the House of Com

Turkey is to remain in Europe af-
ter all retaining Constantinople.
The Dardaneiles, however. will
be kept open by the constant pres
ence of allied war ships. the Pre-
mier said.
Indirectly he admitted that re-
tention of the Turk in Europe was
dictated primarily by regard for
the feelings of the Mohammedan
world for which the Sultan is the
head of their church.
Armed Force Promised.
Part of the Premier's speech
fairly bristled with reference to
armed force.
"Minorities will be protected not
by diplomatic notes" he said. but
by the Turks knowledge that he
is under the menace of British
French and Italian guns.
Turkeys forts will be dis
mantled and she is not to be per-
mitted 10 have troops near the

1T has been decided to leave the
Turks Constantinople. but it would
be the height of folly to trust the

trayed their trust.
The gates will never be closed by

The treaty, said the premier, strip
Turkey of more than one-half of its
former empire. leaves its capital un.

Turkey of her army. navy and pres.
tige.
Incidentally, the premier stated
he hoped to announce the new Brit

SENATE ADOPTS
SECOND LODGE
RESERVATION
Developments Show Hitch
cocks S Followers Rapidly
Leaving His Side.

The oratorical barrage on the
treaty of peace was again resumed
in the Senate yesterday with the
guns of the Lodge reservatlonists
booming loudly. The situation
Throughout the day was completely
controlled by the Lodge forces.
while two important developments
of yesterdays treaty debate pointed
toward early ratification of the pact
with the Lodge reservations prac-
tically unchanged.
Reservation 5, controlling accept
ance of mandates by the United
States under the peace treaty. was
adopted by the overwhelming vote
of 6S to 4.
\ motion by Republican Leader
Lodge to pass over the reservation
on Article Y until other reserva-
tions had been disposed of was
adopted without debate. Senator
Hitchcock cast the only vote in op-
position to the Lodge motion. Both
the vote on Reservation and on
the Lodge motion was a singing
defeat for the administration, DEM
ocrats admitting after the close of
the session that the death knell
had been sounded for any program
seeking to modify the Lodge reser-
vations.
Reservation No. is the second
reservation adopted thus far by the
Senate in the renewed struggle for
ratification.
Want Quick Action.
The Willingness of so many Demo-
Gratis to vote for the Lodge reserva-
tions occasioned little surprise in
view of the position taken by a
number of the administration
supporters that they should make
every possible concession to bring
about ratification.
1t is entirely unlikely that when
the voting on the essential reserva =
tions begins that so large a number
of Democrats will be found voting
with Senator Lodge. Neither Senator
Hitchcock nor Senator Underwood
believes that thirty Democrats will
vote for the Lodge reservation on
Article Ten, nor upon the reserva-
tions relating to the Monroe doc
trine and the equality of voting in
the league.
When the third reservation had
been adopted, Senator Lodge called
up the fourth reservation, which re-
serves to the United States the right
to pass upon all domestic questions.
He suggested two amendments, the
more important of which was TO in
sert the word internal before the
word commerce" so that the reser-
walton would apply only to Amer
ica's internal commerce" Senator
Borah inquired why the change was
made. and was answered by Senator
Reed. also an opponent of the
treaty, with the statement that the
amended reservation would give
the league of Eations Jurisdiction
over Americas foreign commerce.
Debate Parentage.
Senator Lodge said the change was
suggested by Democrats in the BIZ
partisan conference. This was de-
MED with emphasis by Senator
Hitchcock. who said his recollection

PRIMARY RESULTS

The State Democratic executive
committee, sitting as. the state pri
mary board, met at the capitol Wed
nesday afternoon with eleven mem,
bers present and two proxies. AS
the attendance lacked two of being
quorum, the meeting adjourned to
1880 O'Clock. At that hour a quorum
still being lacking, the board proceed
ed to certify to the election of all
candidates where no contests were
filed. The returns in the hands of
the board showed that A. III. Roberts
received a majority of 23,979 over w.
r. Crabtree for governor, the vote be-
ing, Roberts 67,940, Crabtree 43,S61.
Neal 937, Writ 270. For railroad
commissioner. George N. Welch re-
ceived a majority over H. X. Bryson
of $3.50, the vot being Welch s3.-
303, Bryson 1884. The total vote
cast in the primary was 113.10s.
Four counties had not sent in re-
turns, Hamilton, Campbell. Lake and
Unicoi, yet the board counted Hamil-
ton in their figures. No election was
held in johnson and Carter counties.
In transacting business the board
violated Section 6 + the Primary
Election Law, which says:
Fifteen members Of said Primary
Election Board shall constitute quo
rum there I for the purpose of trans
acting business, but a less number
than a quorum may meet and adjourn
from day to day, and may, by proper
process compel the presence Of alb
sent members"
It fs becoming quite common for
state officials to violate laws.
