tBy The Assoclnted Press,

United States circuit court of APP
peals today confirmed the order of
District Judge Lewis of Denver,
granting the Denver Tramway
company an injunction against the
city and county of Denver and per-
hitting the company to establish
an Scent maximum fare instead of
a G-cent fare.
The company Is in the hands Of
a receiver. The court held that a
city franchise ordinance, which
provides for a maximum Scent
fare, was not in the form of a con-
tract, and If there were contract
it would be void because of lack Of

BENSON ORDERS
CUT. OF FIFTEEN
Per CENT MADE
Wage Reduction Was Effective
at Midnight Last
Night.
MARINE WORKERS WILL
NOT SIGN LOWER SCALE
Union Officials Still Hopeful for
Mediation by the
Government.
tsy The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON. April 3O.-Just one
concrete result came today out of a
series of conferences here looking TO
settlement of the wage dispute be-
tween the American ship owners the
shipping board, and the marine work
ers. That was an order by Chairman
Benson to all operators Of government
merchant craft to reduce wages Is per
cent effective at midnight tonight
Apparently none of those partici-
pating in the conferences was prepar-
ed to say what would be the full ef-
feet of the order. William S. Brown,
president of the Marine Engineers
Beneficial Association, said the engi-
neers had been instructed not to sign
any, articles calling for wage cuts,
while Andrew Furuseth, president of
the International Seamen's Union,
stated that the members of his union
had voted against sigring such ar
ticles.
Chairman Benson 3 order came while
President Harding and his secretaries
of labor and commerce We're consulting
on the advisability of appointing a
commission of three to mediate the
controversy. The suggestion that such
a commission be named was made by
the union representatives who agreed
to abide by any award it would make.
1t was supported by Secretary Davis.
/ Both Mr. sF'uruseth and Mr.. Brown
We're hopeful tonight that the commits
sion would be appointed and suspen-
sion of work by the marine employees
averted. On the other hand shipping
board officials declared that Chairman
Benson was opposed to mediation by q
commission. His position from the
first has been that at least a Is per
cent wage reduction was necessary
and that the responsibility rested
with the owners and the men to come
to an agreement without burdening
the president.
At the white house late today it was
said that the president did not in
tend to appoint any commission, but
that such a body might be named by

IMPROVEMENTS
TO SAN CARLOS
ARE PROMISED
NewCOmb Interests Purchase
Controlling Interest
in Hotel.

j. A. Newcomb, representing the
Newcomb interests, yesterday exercis-
ed the option held on 200 shares OF
the capital stock of the San Carlos
Hotel and purchased from Max L.
Bear and his associates all of the
stock held by them in the San Carlos.
This purchase gives the Newcomb in
terests control of the hotel and ac-
cording to Mr.. Newcomb indicates
what the Newcomb interests think of
Pensacola
IF we did not have faith in the city,
said Mr.. Newcomb, I'VE would never
have made this investment which will
eventually amount to several hundred
thousand dollars"
Speaking of the outlook for an i'm
provement in business, Mr.. Newcomb
said:
"Just as soon as they get the wages
of skilled mechanics adjusted, and the
amount of indemnity Germany is to
pay the allies, SO that shipping can be
resumed and building Of homes on q
large scale takes place, we will have
better and prosperous times. I do not
think it will be long before we see all
these things taking place.
nv iIldIlCi WHAT Sou itdtS
heard or seen, the general tourist busi-
ness throughout the state of Florida
has fallen off twenty per cent from
last season. OF course Pensacola has
suffered it's share just the same as
other parts of the state, but our busi-
ness at the San Carlos on the whole
has been satisfactory under the cir
and all we expected it
would be at the time we took charge
of the hotel.
When asked about what he consid
cred the greatest needs of Pensacola
he said: I'VE should have the con-
crete road or some other kind of hard
surfaced road to the Gulf Beach, this
would be one of the greatest assets
to the city, and would be equal to the
Atlantic Beach highway at Jackson
vile, where they, have similar condi-
ton.
Next, we should have the municipal
pier, so that when shipping is re-
sumed we will be ready to offer in
ducements for ships to call at this port
for business. Next the greatest at
traction from a tourist point of view
is to increase the golf links to Is
holes We have already proposed to
subscribe 1000 to this ourselves in
order to have grounds that will attract
golf players from all parts of the
country. They insist on IS holes and
we must have them if we expect to
draw them to Pensacola.
1--WE are having plans drawn to add
about so new baths to the hotel also
to add a new cafe which will be run on
the quick service and popular priced
order plan. We expect this to greatly
increase the popularity If the hotel

FIRST STEPS TOWARD PLACING.
UNITED STATES ON TECHNICAL
LEGAL BASIS OF PEACE TAKEN
In Final Clashes League of
Nation Battle Is
Fought Over.
THREE DEMOCRATS VOTE
IN FAVOR RESOLUTION
Now Goes to House With Pros
poets of Prompt Ac-
tiOn There.
fsy rho AssooIated Pressl

WASHINGTON, April 30.-The ad,.
Illustrations first step toward placing
The United States on technical legal
basis of peace was taken tonight by
The senate in adopting the Knox reso-
luton.
The vote for adoption Of the resolu-
ton was 40 to 23.
Three democrats voted for the reso :
luton and although no republicans
voted against 1t, Senator Nelson of
Minnesota, was paired against it. The
democrats voting for it were Senators
Myers, Montana; Shields, Tennessee
and Watson, Georgia. Two other dem
ocrats, Reed, Missouri, and Walsh
Massachusetts,, were announced as ia
voring the resolution.
In the final clashes today, the third
day of debate, on the resolution, the
league of nations battle was fought
anew. Senator Borah declared tina.
president Harding had "scrapped' the
league with the approval of the Amer
ican voters. Democratic senators de-
MED that the last election was q de-
cison against the league, declaring
that many supporters of the republi-
can ticket favored the league and be-
iieyed that President Harding would
endeavor to secure ratification of the
treaty OF Versailles.
Senator Borah charged that the
treaty was not being executed and
That the allies in fixing German re-
paration were acting without authority
rom the treaty. Senator Borah' 8
statement brought sharp reply from
Senator Hitchcock, the democratic
leader in the treaty fight, who declared
Senator Borah was primarily respon-
sible for Americas lack of a voice in
the peace settlement.
The resolution now goes to the house
with the prospect Of prompt action
there. No change was made by the
senate in the Knox resolution as re-
ported by the goreign relations COM
mittee. 1t would repeal the war reso-
utions affecting Germany and Aus
ria Hungary, impound alien enemy
property and reserve to the United
States all rights and privileges under
Inc treaty Of Versailles and other peace
2. treaties.
An effort to amend the Knox reso-
.ulon made by Senator Townsend, re-
publican, Michigan, who moved to
strike out the clause repeating the war
declaration and substitute a simple
declaration of peace, was defeated A
10 26 shortly before the final vote.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, re-
publican leader, opposed the Townsend
amendment, stating that it had been
considered carefully by the foreign re-
lttions committee which decided that

ENLISTED FORCE
is CUT DOWN IN
THE ARMY BILL
Democrats Force Amendment
Through House Making En-
listed Strength 10000.
t1y The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. April 3O.-Holding a
solid front against a republican split.
democrats forced through the house
today an amendment to the army ap
preparation bill cutting down the en-
listed force to 10000 men. The Kahn
proposal for bigger force never got
a vote.
The bill as approved by Secretary
Weeks made provision for 16S,0O0 men,
or $4,000 more than the number fixed
by the measure passed last session and
vetoed.
There was no certainty, however, that
the 10000 figure would stand, for the
vote today was in committee of the
whole and the house may demand q
separate vote on the amendments in
passing the bill next week.
The amendment for reduction of the
enlisted strength to 10000, the low
est figure suggested in the long de-
bate, was offered by Representative
Byrnes, democrat, South Carolina.
Only two democrats opposed it and
many republicans gave it their support.
The vote was 109 to 80.
The huose previously had adopted as
substitute for the Kahn proposal an
amenment by Representative Fish, re-
publican, New York, for an army of
10000, but the Byrnes amendment
went through and wiped it out.
Representative Mondell, Wyoming,
the epublican leader, in closing debate
urged representatives to stand by the
bill as fraed by the appropriation
committee with its enlisted total Of
$4,000, but many members of his party
deserted him as the march was start
ed down the aisle for an actual count.
Chairman Kahn, of the military af-
fairs committee, pleaded for at least
175,000 men, declaring the times too
troublous for wholesale slashing of
forces. Representative Wood, republi-
can, Indiana, taking issue with the CAL
ifornian insisted that if the world was
on the verge of fire few thousand
extra men could not put it out.

ALLIES DIFFER
AS TO PLAN TO
COLLECT DEBT
England and Italy on One Side
and France and Belgium
on the Other.
(ey The Assoc lated Press.3

LONDON, April 30-A sharp differ
ence of opinion between the French on
the one side and the British and Italians
on the other arose this afternoon at the
meeting of the supreme council to con-
slider enforcement of the treaty of Ver-
sailles, and the steps to be taken to en-
force payment Of the reparations by
Germany.
Premier BRAND, of France. who had
the support of NJ. Jaspar, the Belgian
foreign minister, made strong fight
for the Paris plan, which includes i'm
mediate occupation of the Ruhr region
Of Germany, while the British prime rnin-
lister. Lloyd George and. Count Sforza
the Italian foreign minister, brought up
new proposals under which the confer
ence should decide how the obligation
was to be satisfied and then issue an
ultimatum which would have a brief
time limit. to Germany. The experts to-
night are considering the two schemes
and will report at another meeting OF
the supreme council Sunday morning
So serious was the situation considered
that Mr.. Lloyd George, who was accom-
panied In the conference by Earl Cur
zon, tho foreign minister, called an inn
mediate meeting of the British cabinet
to discuss the matter.
Todays meeting of the supreme council,
was protracted one, NJ. BRAND taking
a long time to explain the French plan
to Count Sforza and Mr.. Jaspar, who
had not the advantage of being present
at Hythe when the French premier dis
cussed the matter with Mr.. Lloyd George
Only this morning was it made known
that the British had a new scheme rc
offer, which was communicated to NJ.
BRAND when he went to Downing street
at noon for short talk with Mr.. Lloyd
George. 1t was explained from the
British side after the meeting of the
council that the new move was made
owing to the finding of the reparations
commission that the German Indebtedness
was $500, 100000 pounds. This, it was
said, greatly altered the situation as it
was necessary in applying the penalties
that the provisions of the treaty should
be observed.
1t was no surprise to find Count
Sforza supporting the British plan as il
had been known Italy was strongly OPP
posed to occupation of the Ruhr unless
it was found absolutely necessary in or
der to enforce payment of the repara-
tions
