DEFEAT OF TREATY
COLOSSAL CRIME
commoner Thinks Dictation of
Policy by Minority Of Senate is
Betrayal of Democracy.

New Haven, Cam, March 90
William J. Bryan, who was on his
way to Boston from New York today,
in discussing the rejection of the
treaty declared:
s'The defeat of the treaty is col
lossal crime against our own coun-
try and the world. If we allow mi
nority of the senate to dictate the pol
icy of the senate on this momentous
question we betray democracy and
turn our faces backward toward arbi-
trary power, and arbitrary power as
exercised by a few is scarcely less
hateful than arbitrary power as exer-
cised by one"
Mr.. Bryan also said: "The action
of the senate is the more disgraceful
because the rejection was brought
about by union between group Of
Democrats and the irreconcilable
foes of the treaty, whom the Dem
ocrats have been denouncing for eight
months. If the action of the senate
is permitted to stand we invite con-
fusion at home and chaos abroad.
ssBut the action of the senate
should not be allowed to st2nG as the
verdict Of the nation. The majority
IN congress should assert itself at
once. First. by declaring the war st
an end. Second, by declaring n

favor of the nations participating in
the league Of nations on such terms
as the majority shall agree upon.
Third, by proposing an amendment to
the constitution permitting major
ity of the senate and house to ratify
a treaty by joint resolution and in the
same way define the nations foreign
policy, thus making it as easy to end
a war as to begin it.
'In the meantime the people should
wire and write to senators and the
president urging ratification. A
change of four votes will be suffi-
cient.'

kicks Up in New York.

New York, March 22.-Aurora Bo-
reals was attacked tonight with
sprins fever. He kicked up his heels,
danced all over the sky and put tele-
graph wires out of commission from
the Atlantic seaboard to the far
West.
The wire chief at the Western
Union headquarters tried to take the
patients pulse" but reported the
company had no instrument strong
enough to measure the voltage in the
electrical currents which swept across
the heavens. Natures skylarking in
the Northland made telegraphy an
impossibility for fifteen minutes-a
record in this vicinity-and caused a
furry in newspaper Offices all over
the country, when news westward
hound was held up.
There were Interruptions in tele-
graph service early in the evening,
but the complete tie-up came at 9:45.
BY 10 o'clock the Western Union re-
ported it was beginning to recover
some Of its circuits, but a realign-
ment or balancing was necessary.
Cable Terminals Hit.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, which also reported
It's telegraph service was completely
aemoralized, said the northern lights
had not interrupted its local or long
distance telephone service. Gable ter
rinals were hard hit, while wireless
apparatus waged an unequal fight
against nature for command in the
air. - - -.
There will be many a stiff neck in
New York tomorrow. Men, women
and children lifted their faces forty
five degrees to miss not flash of the
free electrical display. The encyclo-
pedia lists various types of the phe-
nomenon-acrs, rays, bands, curtains
and coronas-and there were star
eazers to be found who solemnly
swore they had detected each type.

FACING SMALLEST CROP
IN SEVERAL YEARS

| Columbia, March 22.-J. SkottoWe
Wannamaker, president Of the Amer
lean Cotton association, declared in
a statement issued here today that
Investigations covering the entire
belt force him to the conclusion that
1--WE are facing the smallest cotton
crop we have had in years"
In a letter to Col. Harvie Jordan,
Mr.. Wannamaker says that his con-
clusion is based on the following
reasons:
% Boil Weevil. The mild win
/ ter and late spring will absolutely
prohibit large yield Of cotton under
most favorable conditions. Should
we have unfavorable conditions we
will have disastrously small crop.
(2) The Labor Shortage. This
has undoubtedly limited production.
All over the South there is great
building activity. The contractors
doing both general building and those
constructing good roads over the
South are paying such wages and the
hours Of labor are 80 much shorter
that thousands Of our ablebodied
farm hands have left and are leaving
the farms to go 'tosthese public works
and even with this influx Of labor
from the farms, contractors are un-
able to properly man their jobs.
(3) Preparations for the Crop.
Never have farmers been so delayed
with their farm work. This back
ward condition is due largely to
weather conditions and partly to
labor shortage.
"a Delayed Movement of Ferti-
lizers. There has been large sale
of fertilizers this year but never has
the amount Of fertilizer delivered
been so small at this time of the year.
The delay, we are Informed, is from
these principal factors: Shortage OF
material and unsatisfactory labor
conditions. The situation as regards
these factors does not improve. The
congested condition of railroads.
In connection with the sale Of fer
tilizers there is a. peculiar situation.
When it was determined that ferti-
lizer sales were large on the face
of the situation it appeared that we
faced an increased acreage of cotton.
Upon a very full and thorough inves-
tigation by us and another reliable
organization proves to the contrary.
The information coming to US re-
vels this situation. In the boil
weevil territory the decrease in cot
ton acreage is surprisingly large and
the increase in acreage Of tobacco,
corn, velvet beans, sweet potatoes
and peanuts is very great and large
part. of the fertilizer sold is to be
applied chiefly to tobacco and corn
crops.
with the light before US we are
forced to the inevitable conclusion
that cotton relatively is both the
cheapest and scarcest product world
wide"

Tuesdays News and Courier.
Diffused lights, of light rose tinge
appearing in the sky last night about
a:3O o'clock gave rise to speculation
here as to whether or not a form of
the aurora borealis was making itself
visible. No satisfactory explanation
was offered for the phenomenon,
from Charleston.
The News and Courier was asked
by telephone if a fire were burning
anywhere in the vicinity, but various
injuries resulted in no information
that would indicate blaze, sufficient
ly large enough to cause such 3 glare,
anywhere within miles The general
aspect Of the glare was not that usual
" resulting from a FIRE, it was OBJ

Inquiries at the Navy yard brought
the statement that the same light had
keen seen the night before, at about
fhe same hour, and that it was caused
hx nothing in the vicinity of the gov
eminent plant.
The northern lights, or aurora bo-
reals, are usually seen in polar re-

IN, southern ATTITUDES. Shortly be-

Eight, however, was generally difused,
the rays not being sharply cut.
Raleigh informed the Associated
