START PACT FIGHT
Senate Begins Eight-Day De-
bate on Colombian Treaty.
Provides sa5,oOO,OOO Payment
for Panama Zone.
Sen. LODGE CHANGES FRONT
Called 1t "InternatiOnaI Black
mail" Four Years Ago.
Opens Argument Today With
Speech FaVQring Ratification.

Washington, April 12.-Four years
OF senatorial debate, off and on, over
proposal to pay the republic of Colom-
pa S26, 1000, coo in settlement of the
dispute over the Panama canal ques-
ton today drew near its end. The
senate took up the proposed treaty
with Colombia, under an agreement
TO vote after eight days debate.
Supporters and opponents of the
pact jumped into the fray today right
at the start Senator Lodge, chairman
OF the foreign relations committee
opened the discussion with a speech
favoring ratification. Lodges speech
was largely an explanation of his
change of position. Four years ago
he signed a report in which the treaty
was called international hlackmail."
Senator Kellogg, Minnesota, follow
ed with a speech opposing ratification
and took the position that the same
reasons exist today as existed in Theo-
dore Roosevelts time for not acceding
to Coiombia's demand for payment.
Senator's Pomerene, Ohio, and Knox,
Pennsylvania, also are to speak on
doubtful whether either would get the
floor today.
Colombia Wants More.
The treaty in its present form pro-
poses to pay to Colombia in annual
installments of 100000 a total of
Z5,uUO,OOU IN settlement or all claims
growing out of the dispute which
arose when the now republic of Pan
anna seeded from Colombia. The
United States paid Panama 100000
coo for the site of the canal. Pre-
viously, negotiations had been going
on for purchase of this land from
Colombia.
The Colombian government wanted
more money. When Panama seeded,
the United States bought from it.
Colombia blames the United States
for Panama's secession and has been
demanding money and an apology.
The money senators were willing to
give but Republicans always fought
the apology on the ground it was a
slight on the late Theodore Roosevelt.
during whose term as president the
affair occurred.

NO MORE GRuDGE RAIDS
Chicago Women Called Murder
Squad Out of Spite on Ne;ghbors.

Chicago, April 12.-Chicago wom-
ems little game of calling out the
police murder squad" to raid the
homes of women they have grudges
against must cease.
Police Chief Fitzmorris said so to-
day.
Ever since the notorious Tommy
o'Connor killed a policeman and
escaped two weeks ago, police have
received several hurry-up calls every
day such as this:
"He1lo. police. Shush.s Tommy
o'Connor is hiding right next door
to u.s.
Whereupon the murder squad"
with orders to shoot to kill when they
found the elusive Tommy, would rush
the house, break down doors and point
shotguns at the frightened housewife
until the place was searched.
OF course, no Tommy was found.
Chief Fitzmorris discovered today
that it wasn't that neighbor women
wanted to cooperate with teh depart
ment to bring a criminal to Justice,
but merely gave the hum steers to
spite persons they hold a grudge
against.
