bring about q ratification of the treaty is at the White House. Regarding that feel quite helpless"
 Today's session of the Senate com rnittee was largely devoted to exami-
 nation of Edward r. Goltra, demo- cratic national committeeman from
 Missouri, in connection with rumofs
 that he had paid the expense of dele s sates to the democratic state conven- , ton at Joplin, Mo, and the national convention at San Francisco.

 MT. Goltra told of donating s4,f9S and raising g from friends to defray
 part of the expenses of a special train to the state convention The money was given 28 members of the St. Louis
 democratic committee in checks of $50 each, he said. He explained that he
 asked two friends for $1 each so thas he could tell the democratic commit teemen that the fund had been raised" among local democrats and that I
 would not feel under obligations to
 him." The witness and Senator Spen- cer, republican of Missouri clashed when the senator insisted on question: ing Mir. Goltra about expenditures in his campaign for reelection as na- tional committeeman. Golta finally fixed his expenditures of somewhere around s2,50o."
 Joseph Davis, St Louis attorney, who l managed the campaign for MT. Goltra-
 later testified that the national com
 mittee had given him approximately s4,o00 to spend in the campaign. A large part of Mir. Goltra's ex- animation was devoted to his activity | as attorney for the Hostetter Bitters

John Rus sell, ordering an investigation. Colo nel Barnett declared yesterday that the cons truction of "promiscuous killing" which had generally been placed on the language in his letter was erroneous and that he had meant Killing without due process of law"
 The precept directs that the inquiry cover the entire period of American oc- cupation, with a view to determining whether any unjustifiable homfcides have been committed" by naval person. nel or whether any other unjustifiable acts of oppression or of violence have been perpetrated in Haiti or any un- iustifiable destruction or damage to their property has occurred. The pre- cept continues:
 '~The court will include in it's findings the conclusions as to whether prac- tically indiscriminate killing of natives has been going on for some time as alleged in the letter from Brigadier General Barnett to Col. John H. Rus- sell.s
