However practical we deem it, that life
loses itself which fails to keep in touch
with the invisible-with the deeper princi-

rocks and skilled use of the scalpel, and
life more than the baking and eating of

"Pitiless' Publicity

Democrats of the Senate are going
to make a demand for "pitiless pub
licity" at the forthcoming conference
on the limitation of armaments. Sen
ator Pat Harrison, Of Mississippi, las
prepared a resolution which he will
introduce in the Senate demanding
open sessions of the conference. The
resolution would have the conference
admit newspaper men to the main ses-
sions. 1t is recognized that it would
be physically impossible to admit the
public into these meetings. The re-
solution would further look with dis
favor on any effort by the conference
to censor the publicity attending il
proceedings. and would require the
keeping of complece daily record OF
the debate and proceedings of the con-
ference. Republican Senators are eX-
pectcd to oppose the passage of the
Harrison resolution.

UNDERWOOD ASKS SENATE

international Conference on the Linn

rlous setback today when Senator
Oscar W. Underwood. Democratic
lrader of the upper chamber and
)ne of the United States delegates
TO the conference, announced after
confrnce with President Harding
that he was opposd to such an ag!ta-
.ion.
Senator Underwood questioned the
rropriety OF any action in Congress
on the subject. Personally explain
ed Senator Underwood, he would be
glad to have open sessions, but he
added that the matter is not one with
in the jurisdiction Of Congress nor Of
tie American delegation. All the
nations interested, he said, must Le
consulted, and he thought it would
lie unseemly should the Senate pass

wood, who now joins Senator Lodge
in advocating a "hands off policy
in the Senat, probably will halt the
serious consideration of resolutions

ror William E. Borah, Republican, of
Idaho, expressing the sense Of the
Senate that the United States should
use its best offices to open the doors
IF he Disarmament Conference rooms
These resolutions will be supported
hv small group in the Senate, ac-
cardng to present indications, but
the combined influence of Senator's
Lodge and Underwood in all proba-
nllity will halt favorable action.
Senator Underwood called upon
President Harding to thank him 1ot
&c honor conferrd in naming him
one of the representatives at the
conference. Whether the Alabama
Senator reflected the views Of TIE
President in disappearing the pro-
rosed Senate resolution for "pitiiess
publicity" at the international gath
&ring was NOT stated by MIR: Under,
wood, but Indications are that the
Administration is against any acton
IN Congress that would seem to dc

but it is apparent the Representatives

$2l,O83 from Allan A. Ryan, tinan-
cier, whom he had appointed dep
uty police commissioner.

(From Our Special Correspondent.l


Washington Sept. 21.-With the re-
convening of both branches Of Con-
gress today after the months recess
interest once more attaches to Capitol
Hill and to the doings of our national
legislators. With the submission of
the German peace treaty to the SEN
ate by the President, with the prohi-
bition leaders determined to force a
vote on the anti beer bill, with tax
measure about ready for action by
tire Senate, with tn Panama tolls
nlestion ten railroad refunding bill,
the foreign loan refunding bill all
pressing for a vote the members
should find plenty Of material to keep
thm busy from now until the opening
of the regular session the first Mon
day in December next. Despite all
reports to the contrary the Gazette
correspondent was informed on the
highest authority today that it IS not
the intention of administration Sem
ators to shelve consideration of the
treaty Of peace with Germany until
after the meeting of the conference on
the limitation Of armaments and Far
Eastern questions scheduled to begin
its deliberations on November II at
the National Capital. From the
President down there is every reason
to believe that the peace treaty will
be ratified by a substantial majority
when the vote is taken upon the pact.
But sometimes the wheels Of legisla
ticE grind very slowly.
