Washington, March 1.--Con-
vinced that for the present their
labors to break the peace treaty
deadlock are a waste of time, sem
ate leaders moved today to get the
treaty out of the way Of pressing
legislation and let issues raised by
the ratification fight go into the
political campaign.
Under the plan, compromise ne
gotiations on the reservation to
article ten are to be dropped, re-
adoption of the republican reserva-
tion program of last session is to
be completed as a formality, and
then a final vote is to be taken to
put the treaty into the campaign.
Some senators predicted tonight
a final vote, which it is conceded
will record another failure to rati-
fly, would come within three days.
Among most leaders, however, the
prediction was that the shoulder
ing debate would take at least most
of the week to burn itself out.
The decision to hasten action
was reached when republican lead
ers, convinced that the democrats
would block ratification unless the
article ten reservation were modi-
fled, determined to insist that the
reservation go into the ratification
reservation without change. In
this re-affirmation they acceded to
a demand by republican irrecon
ofiaoles, who had intimatea that
they might adopt methods of their
own to wreck the republican pro-
gram.
The coup of the irreconcilables
in thus bringing the treaty fight to
truce was a virtual repetition OF
the move by which several weeks
ago, they ended the bipartisan
compromise negotiations by bring
ing pressure to bear on republi'
san leaders when an agreement
seemed imminent. Holding the
balance of power, their votes have
to be counted on by republicans to
adopt any of the proposed reser-
vations and in addition they are
understood to have pointed out that
If their counsels were disregarded
they could talk the treaty over into
the campaign.
The senate took no action on the
treaty today, the session being cnt
short by adjournment on account
Of the death of Senator Bankhead.

LARGE NAVY FOR
j. s. URGED BY
ADMIRAL BADGER

lay MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wqRsl
Washington, March 1-Urging
naval construction which would
give the United States the largest
navy in the world" Rear Admiral
Charles j. Badger recommended to
the house naval committee today
that the next annual naval apro-
priation bill carry a new building
program, authorizing the building
of two dreadnaughts, one battle
cruiser, ten scout cruisers, four de-
stroyers, six submarines, and other
small craft. The admiral did not
estimate the cost of this program
nor say how long it would take to
complete the vessels.
Admiral Badgers views as to a
large navy were concurred in by
other members of the navy general
board.
Capital ships, such as dread
naughts and battle cruisers, Admi-
raj Badger asserted, would re-
main "the backbone" of the navy
with the tendency in building con-
stantly toward greater size.
In building the new program,
many new features of construction,
learned from lessons of the world
war, would be included in the de-
sign of the various craft, Admiral
Badger said.
The new dreadnaughts, as plan
ned by the general board, he said,
would be of 44,U60 tons displace-
ment, carrying eight sixteen-inch
rifles.
The ten scout cruisers, Admiral
Radger explained, would be of TO-
600 tons displacement, manned
with eight-inch guns.
The destroyers he said, would be
needed for many years, especially
to combat submarines and provide
a smoke screen for capital ships.
The six submarines proposed by
the general board would. be of
three types, he said, in urging their
construction as important "to keep
up with the times" One type,
800 feet long, would be of 5000
tons displacement and have a long
cruising radius; another largely
similar vessel would be principally
for use as a mine layer, and the
third would be of 500 tons to 900
tons displacement, but longer than
those now laid down. Admiral
Badger proposed that two sub
marines of each type be built.

WASHINGTON, March LIN a four

preme court refused to dissolve the
United States steel corporation
and its subsidiaries comprising the
so-called steel trust"
The governments long fought
suit for dissolution of the iron and
steel trade combination for alleged
violation Of the sherman antitrust
law was dismissed, with absolution
for the corporation from all
charges.
Placing the high courts 20. K"
on the steel corporation were Chief
Justice White and Associate JUS

dissenting opinion, joined by JUS
tees Pitney and Clarke. Justice
McReynolds and Brandeis took no
part, the former having been at
torhey general during the litigation
end the latter having expressed OPP
jEions on it before appointment to
the bench.
Primarily, the decree officially
brands the corporation as a good
combination with its legality estab-

Further the court held that pre-
ponderance in industry of corpor-
ate combinations is not alone suf-

The court also gave new and

Analogous to its famous Rule of

Agreeing that mere size of a

legal, is not inhibited, the minority
vigorously disapproved the new
sherman law ruling requiring ju-
dicial consideration of the public
interest. Such conclusion, they
declared, necessarily results in a

HOSPITALS FOR
INSANE TERMED
TRULY TERRIBLE

tBY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIREl
Chicago, March 1.-The situation
of American hospitals for the in
sane was termed truly terrible" by
DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president
of Stanford university, in an ad-
dress delivered here today at the
Annual Congress of Medical Edu-
cation.
After emphasizing the need for
teaching hospitals in every large
city in the country, Or, Wilbur had
this to say of the hospitals for the
insane:
I'VE put tens of thousands of
the mentally sick into great isolat-
ed institutions, largely without
medical students or training schools
for nurses. Through competent
administrators we care for them
reasonably well, but we have
learned and are learning but little
of mental diseases.
THE ignorance of the average
medical man of psychology and
psychiatry is painful Every such
hospital should be a live optimis-
tic center for study and not a pen
for the lingering care of the hope
less or semi-hopeless. We cannot
think of medical education in the
future without bringing the stimu-
lus of the student TO all such hos
pitfalls and likewise bringing one
such hospital into the closest of
contact with every medical school,
Perhaps with the establishment
of such conditions we can gradually
place the decisions upon the ques-
tions of mental conditions In the
hands of physicians instead of in
those of unframed judges, and
emotional jurors.
DR.. Wilbur said that community
welfare depends upon the engineer
and physician more than the poll
tician." He suggested that the
state foster the study of the causes
of disease to reduce the heavy bur
den of sickness, weakness and
mental unsoundness."
But, he continued, during the
period Immediately before us nc
greater disaster could come to the
medical education than to have II
and all of its necessary accessories
fall completely into the hands OF
the state. The glory of American
education lies in the bold initia.
tive Of such institutions as Harvard
and Johns Hopkins. We may look
ahead to a democratic state with
governing bodies and a public wise
enough to provide leadership in
medicine, but for several genera
tions we can not safely trust the
future of medicinal education to
the chance of politics.
The safety of the state univer-
sity medical schools will come from
the active presence of those inde-
pendently endowed setting the
standards"
When the existing medical insti-
tutions of all sorts become centers
of education of one form or anoth-
er, DR.. Wilbur said, Eve envy the
physical happiness and comfort of
the race"

OKLAHOMA INCOME TAX
LAW UPHELD, NEW YORK
ACT DECLARED INVALID
lRy Morning Jonrnal Special Ieased Wirel

Washington, March l.-Right Of
the states to impose income taxes
On non-residents provided they are
in harmony with those imposed on
residents, was upheld and defined
today by the supreme court in two
decisions.
In case from Oklahoma, the
court held a state had authority to
levy income taxes against nom
residents on incomes derived from
LrOperty within the state.
In New York case, however,
the court declared such taxes
against non-residents must not be
discriminatory.
The Oklahoma income tax was
sustained and the New York law
was declared void insofar as it de-
ries nonresident exemptions which
are given New York citizens. Both
opinions were given by Justice Pit
rey, with Justice McReynolds dis
scnting in the New York case. In
both suits were involved the ex-
similar to the federal in
come tax law, provided for married
and single persons.
Distinction between the Okla
homa and New York laws. it ap-
pears, was that the Oklahoma law
gives residents and citizens the
same exemptions while the New
York law denies residents ex-
granted its citizens.
In the Oklahoma proceedings,
c. B. Shaffer of Chicago, sued the
state auditor to enjoin collection Of

rived from Oklahoma oil wells. In
the ether case. Comptroller Travis

Milwaukee, Wis, March l.
Manufacture and sale of 2.5 pei
cent beer in Wisconsin was legal
lied in a decision handed down to-
day by Federal Judge Geiger in the
test case brought by the Manitowoc
Products company for an injunc-
ton to halt enforcement of the
Volstead act.
by his decision Judge Geiger up
held the Mulberger law, thus as
suming that state prohibition laws
take precedence over federal regu-
lation.
The court held section one, title
two, of the VoIstead act unconstitu-
tional. The court also held that in
asmuch as the constitutional
prohibited only intoxicating liquors,
neither congress nor the state leg
islature has power to define the
word indicating liquor so as to in
clude beverages mountaineering in
fact. The Manitowoc company
claimed that . 1-2 per cent beer
was Notwithstanding and allowed
under the Mulberry act passed by
the Wisconsin legislature. The
court held that the amendment
does not prohibit the state from
fixing a standard under its police
power. This Is the first court adj
Indication on the question in the
United states.
The decision resulted from the
filing of an injunction suit by the
Manitowoc Products company, a
consolidation of three breweries at
Manitowoc to restrain enforcement
Of prohibition legislation, in so far
as it interferes with the manufac-
ture of beer containing 12 per
cent alcohol
1t was claimed by counsel for the
company that congress acted ille-
gally in limiting alcoholic content
of liquor which can be sold under
the constitutional amendment to an
amount less than half of 1 per cent
1t was also argued that the Null
berger law, permitting the sale of
2 1-2 per cent beer in Wisconsin
has precedence over federal regula-
tons.
