RESULT OF PACT
 FIGHT HINGES 0N LEADERSHIP VOTE
rRepublican A. P. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Further and more determined efforts to brlng about ratification of the peace treaty IS expected to follow selection tomorrow by democratic senators of leader to succeed the late Senator Martin of Vir- ginia.
 Senatorial conferences today were devoted almost exclusively to the lead ership race between Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, administration manager in the treaty contest, and senator Un- derwood of Alabama, former demo- cratic leader In the house. The demo- crats meet in caucus tomorrow before the senate conyenes to make their choice, with an extremely close contest in prospect.
 One Vote May Decide
 Managers of the Hitchcock and Un- derwood campaigns. while both claim ing victory, agreed tonight that the democratic membership was very evenly divided, and that one vote might decide the contest.
 Effects of the democratic leadership election on the treaty is predicted on variant positions taken recently by Senators Hitchcock and Underwood on ratification Although both have urged unreserved ratification, Senator Under wood declared several days ago that. if unable to secure ratification without reservations. he was prepared to sup port a resolution of partial ratification, excluding the league of nations coven- ant and leaving it for settlement in the fall elections. Senator Hitchcock has opposed such a course. Another factor is the authorship of Senator Under wood of the pending motion for ap- pointment of senate committee on conciliation.
 Supporters of Senator Hitchcock have been urging his election as an endorsement of his exofficio minority leadership during the illness and since the death of Senator Martin. They have also emphasized that his defeat might be construed as repudiation of the administration policy as regards the treaty and might have a harmful effect on future action.
 Treaty Issue Not Involved
 Tn behalf of Senator Underwood. it has been denied that his election would or could be regarded as repudiation of the treaty management, either of MT. Hitchcock or the administration. The Alabama senator's friends have insist ed that the treaty is a temporary issue which should not be a factor in. cleo ton of permanent leader, and have emphasized that Mir. Hitchcock, as ranking democrat on the foreign rela- tions committee, would continue in charge of the treaty and also of all other questions of foreign relations coming before the senate even should MT. Underwood be chosen leader.
 Another argument has hinged on geographical considerations, MT. Hitchcock being from the middle west and Mir Underwood from the "solid south"

PERATORS-|M|NERS r IN|SH ARGUMENTS BEFORE COMMISSION
Way Cleared For Examina- tiOn Of Facts Workers Insist Original Demands Not Unjust
[RepubIioan A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA third day of argument before President Will sons commission for settling the coal strike left it practically ready tonight to proceed to the examination of the facts at issue between the miners and their employers.
 The last of six SpokeSmen for the United Mine Workers of America fin ished the preliminary statement of the case for the men today and Ralph Crews, counsel for the operators in the central competitive district likewise completed the general statement in opposition. Operators in the central district will have one more argument which will be made at the beginning of tomorrow's session by Phil H. Penna of Terre Haute, Ind. and thereafter the commission will begin considera- evidence.
 Frank Harrington of the Illinois Miners Union. in closing for the min CTS. estimated the advance in living costs since 1914 in Illinois mining cen ters at from 110 to IFS per cent. Year ly earnings of miners in Illinois, how ever, he said, had increased only from approximately s7O0 in 1913 to s1,39O in 1918. In the light of these figures, he said, the miners claim for SO per cent increase in wages and a 30-hour week were Justified.
 John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers, gave out a statementexplaining the 30-hour a week demand as an endeavor by the miners to distribute their work throughout theyear. Geological sur vey estimates, Lewis said. showed that the weekly operation of mines for the 3c-hours would supply all the coal the country needed.
 Attorney Crews opened for the oper- ators with the declaration that the ou percent wage increase was the req issue before the commission He stamped the 50 per cent increase de- mand as fraught with staggering consequences" Likewise. discussinc the 20-hour week, Crews said thatit was an incorrect economy theory which made the miners leaders be- lieve that such a system could be maintained.

 Secretary Daniels announced today that he had received another letter of q highly controversial nature from Ad miral Sims. The secretary said he had not read the letter carefully and would not make it public until he had done so but that the cursory examination of it's contents had convinced him that it contained general criticism of the navy's conduct of certain phases of the world war.

HOOVER NOT SEEKING
 POLITICAL JOB, SAYS CLOSEST ASSOCIATE
[RepubIican A. p. Leased wire1

NEW YORK, Jan. 14. Herbert Hoover was declared tonight by Julius Barnes, his close associate and friend, to be progressive republican" who will never allow himself to be a can didate for high office, nor allow his friends to make an effort in his be- half, unless there shall come such in disputable evidence of such spontane- ous and universal popular demand that 1t will overwhelm his present resolu- tion not to enter politics..
 MT. Barnes. who is a director of the United States wheat corporation, was the principal speaker at the annual dinner of the National Wholesale Dry Goods association.
 Referring to reports that Mir. Hoover might be democratic presidential MT. Barnes said:
 As a lifelong republican, I am re- assured to believe that only one con ceivable development could place him on the democratic ticket, in spite of all that has appeared in the recent press. 1 believe that could come about only if over er-confidence in their own political prospects blinds the republi- can party to adopt a nOn-progressive platform and to nominate candidates of reaction.
 With his intense earnestness of purpose and his sincere desire to fur ther social progress of our people by the preservation of equal opportunity, it is conceivable that the liberal minded voters of all parties may then insistently demand such leadership as his for the expression of rightful so- ciaI and political ideals"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Authority granted by the senate to the foreign relations subcommittee, to employ counsel to aid it in Investigating Rus -sian propaganda, developed strong disagreement today among committee members as to the choice of an at torney- While Senator Moses, New Hampshire, chairman, and Senator Knox, Pennsylvania, favored the Selec- tion of Archibald Stevenson, attorney for the New York legislative commit tee Investigating radical activity, Senator Borah served notice that he would quit the committee if Stevenson was chosen
 Senator Moses said that Stevenson was suggested by Senator Knox. who has known him from boyhood and added that Stevenson would be par ticularly valuable to the committee in view of the information he had gained through his connection with the Lusk committee of the New York legislature.
 Senator Borah declared himself op- posed to employment of any counsel, as there are four lawyers on the com mittee, and particularly objected to Stevenson, saying he did mot want to transfer the Lusk investigation to the senate"
 Protest against the appointment of Stevenson also was made by E. P. Jennings, a machinery manufacturer

 Mir Jennings explained he had been unable to fill contracts with the Rus sian soviet government for 1000 print ing presses because of inability to ob- tain an export license from the state department
 Monday has been set tentatively as the date for the opening of the hear ing with Ludwig C. A. K. Martens. self styled soviet amba ssador as the first witness. Chairman Moses announced tonight.
 Senator Borah, asserting that the committee could best get at the facts in the Russian situation without the services of an attorney, said:
 "f Martens is here advertising bol- shevism and sovietism. then the quicker he departs the better for him. On the otehr hand. if Bakhmeteff (re- ferring to the former Russian ambas- sador). has been getting money from people of the United States on the theory that he is feeding the Russian people when he is not, want to know that. The only thing in which I am interested is the facts. We have not been able to get them heretofore on account of censorship and propaganda"

JOHN DODGE, NOTED AUTO MANUF FACTURER. PNEUMONIA VICTIM
Republican A. P. Leased WIrel
 NEW YORK, Jan. 14-John Dodge of Detroit, automobile manufacturer died here tonight from pneumonia.

DETROIT, Mich, Jan H. The career of John F. Dodge parelleIed in many ways that of majority of Mich igan'S leading automobile makers. It began in a small machine shop, includ- ed many struggles against poverty and failure and its close found him one of the motor kings of the world with a fortune estimated at upwards of $50,- 000O00.
 Dodge was born in Niles, Michigan, 54 years ago. He served an appren- ticeship in his fathers machine shop and in 1886 moved to Detroit, to follow his trade Shortly afterward he was joined by his brother, Horace E. Dodge, and for years the brothers worked together as wage earning ma chinists. Their first business venture was in 1901 when they opened a shop of their own, employing 12 persons They built parts for automobile con- cerns just starting in business
 In 1912 the brothers announced their intention of enterong the automobile business on their own account. The enterprise was successful from the be- ginning and under the impetus of the war 1t grew until today the Dodge in terests employ approximately ISOOO persons.
 One of the Dodge brothers efforts, after the United States entered the war, was a ten million dollar ordnance plant which. despite the skeptfcism of military experts, produced the delicate reeoil mechanism of the French 155 millimetre guns.
 John Dodge rarely figured in the social life of Detroit. He was regard ed as one of the city's most democratic millionaires. He is survived by his widow, a daughter and two sons.

URGE PASSAGE OF. LAW ID PREVENT
 LYNCH|NG RIOTS

WASHINGTON. Jan. 14.-Enac ctment of federal legislation to prevent lynch ing and race riots was urged at the Initial hearing today of a senate ju- der the resolution providing for inves- tigation into recent riots and submis- sion of a report to the senate suggest ing means of preventing recurrence of the disorders. Today's session was de- voted to federal jurisdiction.
 Senator Cuxtis, republican, Kansas. author of the resolution, presented to the subcommittee a copy of report of the department of justice showing the activity of radical agitators among negroes in various citfe swhere rfoting has occurred and describing the man rer in which these agitators have con- ducted a propa ganda among negroes to arouse unrest.
 The report outlined an article by r. A. Blossom. secretary of the I. w W. local at Paterson. N. J.. textile work CTS. designed to arouse negroes. This article, the report said. was printed in the office of the Gary 0nd) Post. at the expense of Linn A. F. Gale of Mexico City. who. the report said was believed to be a German agent.
 Tt seems to me-" said Senator Cur tis, in presenting the report. that there is a very strong reason why the gen. eral government should take hold of this question and make a thorough in- vestigation of it and into the activity of the radical element in this country in working up race riots.
 U- S. Bratton. a white attorney Of Little Rock, Ark, who said his son narrowly escaped lynching during the recent race riots in that state. argued in favor of federal legislation, declar- ing the federal constitution guarantees all citizens an impartial trial. which mob rule denies. He declared. however. that the recent troubles in Arkansas were not due to radical aeitators. but to the system of peonage which. he a1- legged. prevailed in Arkansas.
 The conditions that exist there are such as to demand the attention of the federal government" Bratton saK
 James Weldon Johnson. a former United States consul in Nicaragua. bu; now field secretary of the National As sociation for the Advancement of Col pred People. told the committee that there recently had been suggestions that the United States intervene in Mexico because about six Americans had been killed. while during the same period 36 negroes had been Iynched in this country
