the most battling Investigations re-
gently conducted in the District.

against them.
suspends Both Officers.
The two policemen in question are
G. W. Giddings and w. S. Abrams.
of the First Precinct Station. After
being questioned by Inspector Will
liam H. Harrison, they were sus-
| pended.
Up to an early hour this morn
ing police have been unable to
learn the cause of the shooting and
by whom the shots were fired
Policeman Tanner, of the Third
Precinct Station, while patrolling
his beat, heard the first shot fired
Rushing to the house he saw a
man lead a woman to a waiting
taxicab. The sab speeded away
before the officer could obtain the
license number, he said
BY that time a second shot was
fired and Tanner saw two police
4 men leaving the house. They
escaped. but not before he obtained
the numbers from their police
badges. which later proved the only
means of identity.
Deny Firing shots.
The two suspended policemen told
Inspector Harrison that after be-
ing relieved from duty Thursday
at midnight they met the Chris
tiancy woman at Ninth street and
New York avenue northwest. and
then proceeded to the Twenty-Irst
street home. Both admitted hear
Ing shots but both denied firing
them.
Mrs. Wetanab told Inspector Har-
rison that Abrams had left the
house shortly before a. m. and
returning five minutes later fired
both shots.
The inspector said last night that
he was unable to explain what
took place. He had been unable
to learn the Identity of the couple
who left in the taxi. He said that
he affair would be given a thor
>,ugh investigation.

the speaker. Il have every conf
demo that a partial disarmament
will be effected but I doubt if the
large nations should put them
selves in a position where they
could not offer aid or go to the
assistance of smaller and weaker
nations"
Senator Townsend applauded the
lead of Secretary Hughes in pro-
posing a ten-year naval holiday
and said: The contest among ma
ttons for the largest navy was ruin
Gus to the world. 1t is my opinion
however, that we should reserve
enough ships, proportionatc to the
navies of other nations. and sufi-
cient to hold off Japan or any other
nation"

The moral coercion of America,
England and Japan can prevent

will then agree that it would be
folly to start in to build battle
ships"

RECEIPT OF PACT
BEFORE DEFENDING
Few Republican Senators
Against Treaty; Demo-
Gratis Divided.

Republican Senators in a cloak
room conference yesterday decided to
refrain from answering attacks on
the four-power pact until 1t Is for
mally before the Senate.
That announcement was made by
Senator Curtis, of Kansas, Republi-
can whip. at the conclusion of bit
ter attack on the treaty by Senator
Reed. of Missouri, Democrat.
Republican leaders, after carefully
eanvossing the treaty situation in the
Senate. declared they could find but
two NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Borah and
La Follette-Openly opposed. Two
other Republicans, Senator Norris, of
Nebraska, and Senator France. of
Maryland. were regarded as doubt
ful. All other Republican Senators,
IL was stated. could be counted as
friendly.
REED CONTINUES ATTACK o
Senator Underwood is believed to
be welding a strong influence in
lining up Democratic Senators in Ia
Vor OF the treaty, but there is every
prospect that their ranks will be
widely split.
The Democrats" said Senator
Robinson. of Arkansas. ARE en-
deavoring to keep an open mind on
the treaty but the trend seems to be
away from the pact"
Senator Reed declared that if the
Senate ratified the pact the United
states would be made a second rate
power in the Pacific" He pictured
the treaty as signing the death war
rant of China" and putting the United
States in such a situation that in
Of

the one hand and Japan on the other

Senator Reed also contended that
the treaty would entangle the Unit
ed States in the league of nations.
our associates are tied into the
league he said. They are subject
to the orders of the league and we
can therefore be affected by its de-
cisions though We have no part or
voice in the league"

Senator Reed held that ratification
of the fOur-poweT pact would take
the United states into an entangling
alliance of dangerous sort. out of
which 10 would get no advantage
while the interests and possessions
Of Great Britain and Japan in the
Orient and in the Pacific were pro-
tected by it.
The Senator exclaimed: THE long

foreign stepmother makes me sick"
Senators Shields. of Tennessee:
Overman, of North Carolina and
Stanley, of Kentucky, asked Senator
Reed many questions, which seemed
to indicate sympathy with his views.

MARTIN
TENOR COMING

The coming recital in this city Of
iRiccardo Martin, Amica's, leading
opera and concert tenor, is looked up
on as a notable musical event. Sure
" no American singer has attained a
higher reputation than Mr.. Martin,
who today is right in the zenith Of his
vocal powers. To Mr.. Martin, more
than any other singer, can Americans
attribute their recognition on both the
opera and concert stage and after his
years Of experience he still remains
the leader in the fields if musical ac-
tivity.
Riccardo Martin was the first great
American operate tenor. In 1916 Car
uso was taken i'll and was forced to
leave the Metropolitan for the season.
It was not until then, that Martins
real value became known. That year
the young American stepped into the
