Apprehensire of Republicans

Many of the Republican irreconc!l-
ables, those who fought the Versail-
les treaty the most bitterly, are be-
ginnig to become somewhat appre-
hensive of the course Of this admins
tration in regard to participation in
European affairs. Senator Borah Of
Idaho, for instance, is charging that
the recent decision of Roland W.
Boyden, American member of the Re-
parations Commission, in regard TO
German debts to Belgium, was in di-
rect violation of the Harding policy
of mountaineering alliances.
Senators Moses of New Hampshire,
Johnson of California, and probably
Brandegee of Connecticut are to make
speeches during the course of the
treaty debate warning that their
votes for the treaty do not mean that
they will ever support policy that
permits the United States to become
mixed in the various commissions OF
the Versailles treaty in any way.
It will be remembered that the
present treaty carries reservation
to the effect that the consent OF Con-
gress is necessary before the Presi-
dent can appoint member Of the Re
parations Commission and it IS al
ready being charged that President
Harding will, as soon as the German
treaty is out of the way, send an OF
fetal request to Congress for the priv
ilege. If he does. he will create
split in the Republican party of large
proportions, the irrcconclIaoIe kepuo-

Giants Have Sold Out Their Share
of Seats
New York, Oct. 3.-New York is
doing an imitation Of man holding
his breath from Sunday night until
8 o'clock of the Wednesday after
aeon next ensuing, which no man
has ever done yet so far as the
A. A. IT,, records go. From the
pop-eyed, like-to-bust expressions
seen in the subways and dclicates-
sens, where New York spends Sun
day evening, New York seems about
to fail in the effort. but You never
can tell. There's reserve power in
town that dimes out OF slot ma
chimes. There has to be. So New
York may come through to Wednes
day afternoon and the world series
without blowing up like 50 tire on
a nine-in family flivver.
There were about $4,000 people at
the Polo Grounds yesterday watch
ing the Yanks toy with the Red Sos,
of Boston, and somewhat tarrlshed
Cory. They were somewhat like
$4,000 mourners just settin' round
the parlor waiting for the insurance
man to arrive with the cheque on
account Of the dear departed's de-
nayture. They sat there with lips
compressed and fingers interlaced.
There was some sort of q ball game
or some such going on out OIL the
field. but these legatees preserved
a decent outward respect for the
memory Of the regular baseball
season that had left New York as
sole heir to the undivided whole of
a regulation, cork center world
series.
Miller Huggins, manager Of the
Yanks brought his team through to
the pennant in spite of opposition,
within his club almost as strong as
that offered by the Indians. There
was time during the summer cam
palgn when Higgins. suffering from
painful illness, almost lost his job.

Rural Subscribers to Get Service
Soon
Telephone subscribers on the rural
lines near Alexandria who have felt
that their lines were too crowded Will
l.av relief within the next few days
according to H. j. Clarkson, local
manager of the G. and P. Telephone
Company.
In line with its policy of improv-
ing service wherever possible the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company is completing the erection
of new lines that will etfectuaily take
care of the present congestion, as
well as provide for future demands
for service.
So extensive has been the growth
of the Alexandria Office that most OF
the rural lines have been overcrowd-
ed for sine time. Many rural sub
scribers requested service and in or
der to grant it, the company during
and Immediately after the war was
forced to crowd the existing lines un
til there were from II to Is stations
on some of them. This has been found
too many for the most efficient service
and since conditions now permit the
construction of additional facllitles
the number of stations per llne VIII
be virtually in half.
Twelve additional lines are being
run into the rural sections to serve
subscribers. This will enable the COM
pany to reduce the number of sta
tions on a line to eight or less, an
on few lines there will be only 10"
at present.
The policy of the company is t
permit no more than 10 stations on
a line that is less than five miles il
length or 12 on a line of more thar
five miles. wherever it is possible
Since all the Alexandria rural liz
will have less than either maximum
any new requests for telephone ser
vice can be handled by the company
without hampering existing serV''
or congesting any of the lines.
The work of relieving the lines was
started the early part of September
of same month it is expected: IheT1,
and will be completed about tie end
will no inconvenience to service i
the meantime.

tn Discuss Party Lines

Party lines will be rent asunder in
the vote on the Borah Panama canal
tolls bill on October 10. it is shown
by various polls of the Senate. Sen
ator Underwood of Alabama, the MN
ority leader. will support the bill,
while Majority Leader Lodge will op-
pose it. Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska will oppose it, while Senator
Lenroot, who was against it when a
member of the House, will favor 1t
on his vote
That the bill will pass there is no
question, but it is reliably reported
that on orders Of the President the
bill will be shelved when 1t reaches
the House and not acted on until
after the arms conference has ad-
iou1ned. The reason for this IS that
the bill is regarded as offensive to the
British government which will be a
member of the arms conference

BREWER TESTIFIES
 AGAINST HATFIELD
Matewan Trial Brings Out Threat Against Mayor
 TeSterman'S Life.

Williamson, w. Va, Feb. 23.-Isaac Brewer today told the jury trying nineteen men in connection with the deatht of Albert c. Felts, a private detective, last May 19 at Matewan that Sid Hatfield told Brewer he would cut Mayor c. c. Testerman in two with a bullet" if the latter messed around" Hatf1eld's business.
 Brewer was indicted but before the trial the charge afainst him was dis missed. He testified that he met Sid Hatfield, Matewan police chief, and now a co-defendant, shortly before the fight by appointment and that he, Brewer, was armed with two pistols.
 Brewer told the jury that when he met Hatfield the latter remarked: 'Testerman is trying to carry water on both shoulders" and added the threat.
 Later Brewer saw Hatfield in Chambers hardware store. Felts, Testerman and c. V. Cunningham, a private detective, stood in the door way, and Brewer testified that Hat field cupped his hands to Brewers ear and whispered: Let's kill every - one of them."
 A moment later Brewer said he stepped back from the. doorway and Hatfield fired. ,s "who did he shoot?'' States coun- seI asked.
 Albert Felts," was the reply.t
 What did Felts do when the shot was fired?' ... .sat4. . r*
 "He fell.'' .*-.
 ''I was pushed forward after the first shot I heard was f1red,' the wit ness continued, 'and then I was shot by Cunningham. attempted to draw my pistol after being wounded. I was shot in the hand as I got my pistol out"
 Brewer said he did not know who fired the shot that caused Mayor Testerman's death. He declared, however, that he heard another shot fired from behind him after Fe1ts fell.
 As Brewer looked out the doorway he said he saw Hatfield and William Bowman, also a defendant, approach the spot where Felts lay. He testified that Bowman levelled a pistol at Felts and remarked: Now I guess you'll die.''
 Witness at no time saw a weapon in Felts' hand, he said.
 When J. J. Conniffe, defense counsel. sought to learn why Brewer turned states evidence. he said is was because he understood the blame for killing Felts would be placed on him.
 He testified he learned from "Wes" Holbrook, a Matewan resident, the day the trial started, that $1,OO0 would be given a defendant to turn states evidence and swear, Brewer, killed Felts. Anticipating such action, witnesse said, he decided to testify for the state.
