Ryan Aircraft Production Staff Is Attacked and
 Defended

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Reports of the long continued investigation of the aircraft production program were presented today in the house from the special committee inquiring into war expenditures.
 Representatives Frear and Magee, Republicans, on the subcommittee which conducted the investigation, characterized the aviation program in their report as "a riot of waste" and Representative Lea, Democrat, declar- ed in his report that the Republicans had sacrificed facts for sensationalism in an effort to discredit the govern. ment.
 Both reports contain thousands of words. They differ entirely in the record of achievment in shipping Am erican airplane abroad and in the per formance of the aircraft production generally.
 A prominent part of both reports is given to the controversy over the connection of John D. Ryan, former director of aircraft production, with the construction of a government built railroad, which. it has been charged, redounded to the benefit of the Chica- go. Milwaukee and St. Paul road, of which MT. Ryan is director.
 Disclaiming any attempts to deter mine motives, the mapority report on that point says:
 If Mir. Ryaa's statement of disinter- estedness is true, he has been most unfortunate in handling a public mat ter that in the Judgment of your com mittee covered a flimsy effort to pro- mote large priVamte business interests and was accompanied by blundering explanations from beginning to end.'
 Tn contrast, the minority report by Representative Lea says:
 "The evidence shows that MT. Ryan practically abandoned his own busi- ness affairs and devoted himself an remittingly to his official duties With out directly charging it. the report of the majority insinuates that Ryan used his power as head of aircraft produc- ton, to cause selection of the Lake Crescent route for the benefit Of the Milwaukee road. The purpose to con struet a railroad from Lake Pleasant. CONTINUED ON PAGE Two)

Treaty Reaches Floor of Senate Amid Burst of
 discrimination HITCHCOCK REFUSES
 CONCESSION ASKED Upper House Deadlocks on First Proposition for
 Reservation

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.- Laying aside it's legislative business, the sen- ate by unanimous consent, took up the treaty of Versailles again today the ratification of which was inter hupted last November.
 The opening gun in the new phase of the fight was fired by the treaty's irreconcilsble foesl Senator McCor mick of Illinois, reopening the dis cussion with speech bitterly assail- ing many provisions of the document and counseling the Republican lead CTS not to consent to further compro- mise.
 He was followed by Senator Me Cumber, Republican, North Dakota, who flayed the heads of both par ties for their failure to eomprOmise and declared that "child's play ob- stinacy" alone stood in the way of ratification.
 Hitchcock Takes Hand.
 Drawn into the debate by the charges Of the North Dakota sena- tor, Senator Hitchcock, Democratic leader, asserted that the Democrats already "had abandoned" their pre- vious stand and had offered compro- mise. but the Republicans were de manding nothing short of complete Democratic surrender.
 Once it got under way, the debate speedily revived the whole scale of issues which the senate had debated from Nav to November of lest year. The subject technically under con- sideration. a motion by Senator Lodge to modify the Republican reservation on withdrawal was not mentioned until late in the day when Mir. Lodge took the floor to explain briefly his reasons for moving for the change.

FIFTH PANEL
 TO RE DRAWN
 TOMBSTONE
Less Than Half of Fourth Contingent Are Served
 By Sheriffs

TOMBSTONE, Feb. 16.-Less than fifty per cent of the 400 men drawn on the fourth panel as prospective jurors to hear the trial of H. H. Wootton. the first of the defendants in the Bisbee deportation cases to be tried were served only 199 answers ing to their names when court con- this afternoon. 58 were excused on various grounds and 78 on the ruling made by the court in disqualification of employees of the defendants. This leaves only 6S names from which to obtain the eight jurors necessary, and if Is freely predicted that another panel will be called before the end of the week.
 The feature of this afternoons ses- sion was the determined stand taken by Assistant County Attorney George Roark. conducting the cases in the absence of R. N. French. on the eli railroad employees. The court early in the trial ruled that emploves of the defendants in any of the cases would be excused from service on challenge by either side. During the examination of the first two panels employees were not excused until they had taken the stand and were challenged. By stimulation, those drawn in the last panel were excused after they had given their naines and employers' names to the clerk of the court while the attorneys for both sides stood by to challenge. Tn this way several hours were saved. Dur ing the examination of prospective jurors last week the question came up as to whether employees of the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad would come under this ruling Roark in.

Veterans Testify Firing on Armistice Day Came
 From Hotel
(specIaI to The RevIew)

COURT HOUSE, MONTESANO, Wash, Feb. 16-Something of the at- mosphere of the ill-fated armistice day parade at Centralia was repro duced this afternoon when ex-sol- diers in uniform testified for the state at the trial of eleven men oharoed with the murder ofL Edd Warren O. Grimm, victim of an al legged 1. W. W. gunman.
 The presence of witnesses in uni form led to an acrid exchange be- tween counsel. After D. c. Roberts, who was dental surgeon in the army. had taken the stand clad in his lieu tenants uniform and stated the cir cumstances in which Grimm was shot, defense counsel George Wander veer inquired: "You are practicing dentistry now9" The witness admit ted the fact.
 Do you usually wear your uni form?"
 "No, only on occasions"
 Were you members asked to wear uniforms in order to lend value to your testimony"
 Possibly"
 Special Prosecutor W. H. Abel then asked the witness.

 he uniform seems to be distaste- ful to counsel" remarked Abel.
 Vanderveer objected to such re- marks from "a lumber trust lawyer. " Judge Wilson warned counsel that such repartee would not be allowed.
 The state sought to establish by testimony today a new post from which l. W. w sharpshooters were said to have fired on the parade. This was the Arnold hotel, where the state has been trying to prove that two of the defendants, O. c.

RESENTS DECISION OF LONDON COUNCIL MADE AFTER AMERICAN
 REPRESENTATIVES LEFT EUROPE
Says Settlement Agreed Upon by Premers and Italy Not Reconcilable with the Principle of SefDetermination As Laid Down in the Fourteen Points and
 Declares United States Cannot Concur

LONDON, Feb. 16.-President VII. sons note to the peace conference on the Adriatic question has furnished London political and newspaper cir cIes nith a surprise and interest surpasslng that evoked by the Wil- son-Lansing correspondence. The Ian ting incident was regarded as an American family affair, toward which should be merely disinterest- ed spectators. The presidents re- appearance as a determined party in the peace negotiations was constru- ed as almost as threatening as his order for the George Washington to be prepared to take him home from France.
 The first versions of the event
 gave it the aspect of lan utti-
 nnatum, which meant that the allies must stand by the terms which President Wilson accepted in December, or America would shake the dust of European af- fairs off her feet altogether, and also that the council had frann- ed a stiffly worded reply adheF-
 ing to it's January offer 10 the Juuo-SlaVs.
 Later information appeared to soft en the stiff necked position credited to both parties This consisted of messages from Washington that too sweeping a construction had been given 10 the presidents note, forti- fled by news from Downing street that the council had not finished composing it's answer. Nevertheless Premier Millerand's cheerful obser- vation to the reporters on Friday tThere is not cloud ahead"-is given as a purely diplomatic optim- ism.
 The afternoon papers display
 ed stirring headlines, In which
 "Bombshel" was the favorite word. If not bombshell, It was an entirely unexpected ruffllng
 of the waters about the parlia-
 ment houses where 1t appears to
 have been assumed that so long as America had not even a rep
 resentatlVe at the conference table, her voice would not be
 heard in the debate.

$4,000 Church.

The Christian church people have
contracted with E. K. Hayes for the
purchase of four lots at the corner
of Main and Wardwell, upon which it
is planned to erect q church edifice.
Preliminary drawings of the plans
have already been made and show a
building which, when completed, will
cost $4,000. The plans are ambitious
and contemplate, in addition to store
rooms below and the church proper, q
community meeting house, rest room,
reading room, baths, etc, and it is
hoped to secure the necessary funds
by popular subscriptions. The pro-
posed building is to be erected on the
unit plan, and it is expected to require
several years to complete the struc-
ture. For the present, it is proposed
to build that unit which comprises the
house of worship. The building will
