HARDING Wins

DISARMAMENT
Senate Naval Committee
Refuses to Accept Sem
ator Borah's Plan

Washington. D. c., May 4.-Admin-
istration forces won the first skirmish
today in the impending senate fight
over naval disarmament.
Guided by tho wishes of President
Harding. the senate naval committee
refused to incorporate in the annual
naval appropriation measure tha pro-
posal of Senator Borah, Republican of
Idaho. authorizing the chief executive
to invite Great Britain and Japan to
send representatives to a disarmament
conference. Before the committee
acted Senator Borah had reintroduced
his proposal in the senate and moved
to suspend the rules to make it in
order.
gave notice he also intended to present
a disarmament amendment to the ma
val bill. His amendment would au-
thorize the president to delay the build
ing program six months while an effort
was being made to arrange con-
ference between tho United States.
Great Britain and Japan. Should an
agreement to limit construction be
reached. the president might suspend
the building program in whole or in
part. II is understood administration
leaders plan to delay action on pro-
posals for International disarmament
because Of the desire OF the president
not to have this question initiated in
congress in the present state of inter-
national relations.
As favorahly reported today by the
naval committee the annual naval
bill, which failed at the last session,
provides not only funds for continuing
constructions on the uncompleted, 1915
program but also for personnel e0.Oo1
in excess of the 10000 proposed by tho

ginning work on naval bases on the

TO NOL|N LAST SUNDAY

The Central baseball team won its
second consecutive victory of the
1921 season Sunday afternoon when a
defeat was handed to the Noln nine
at Nolin. The score was s to 2. A
similar dose was given the Noln ag-
eregation on the previous Sunday
when the score was 4 to 3.
The batteries were PARROT and
Mol for Nolin. and Greenwald and j.
Holngren for Central. Jess Vaughn
is manager of the Central outfit and
he is looking for game for this com.
ing Sunday.
The Central team, which is compos-
ed Of country players who reside In
the Despair district several miles
from Pendleton, played a schedule Of
ten games last season with only one
defeat against 1t. The defeat was ad-
ministered by Nolin. The boys think
they are better than ever this year,
and they are ready to stack up against
any comers within the county.
