 C1arksburg, W. Va, Aug. 1S.-Be- cause a Bridgeport, w. Va, woman mistook the salt container in her kit chen cabinet for the sugar bowl she had lost all hope of being successful in the poultry business, for this sea- son at least. When the woman. whose name is withheld by request, was making a cake at her home she put in two cupfuls of what she thought to be sugar in the mixture. Not until the cake was baked and tested by members of the family was it discovered that the sugar was salt Then she threw the cake out in the yard The chickents ate it.
 When the family arose the next morning they found 21 chickens sprawled about-dead.

Except in one instance, there was
no explanation as to why today's wit
nesses failed to appear. One was
ready to start, but there was some de-
lay in delivery of his railroad ticket
and he will come later.
Chairman Brandegee announced

Missouri Senator Charges President Unable to Keep Track

Sessions; Says League Better Than Pact

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-(By The
Associated Press)-Speaking in the
senate today, Senator Reed alluded
repeatedly to the White House con-
ference which preceded President
Harding's statement last night, say
ing he could picture 'Mr. Hughes and
Mr.. Lodge and maybe Mr.. Under
wood telling the president that the
treaty is 'FJust as good with those pro

He added that apparently the pres
ident thought, however, he was stiff
ling all opposition by announcing
there was no guarantee of the Japan
ese mainlands.
He seemed to think" said the sen
ator, that the virtue Of the pact was
that it did not have the vice of bind
ing to protect all Japan.
IF this thing keeps on, Article 10
of the League of Nations will become
respectable and the drafters Of the
Versailles treaty will be regarded as

He said he would recommend that
Harding get better acquainted with
what his representatives are doing in

continued, had been urged in some
quarters but that since "the real ne

MacSwiney for speaking so long-two
hours and forty minutes-though
fifteen minutes would be sufficient
for each remaining speaker. There
was a disposition tonight by certain
members supporting the treaty to
predict definitely that it will be rati-
fled.
Mary MacSwiney not only said that
She might never have another oppor-
tunity to address that assembly, un-
less Ireland became a republic, but
marked out her future policy and that
of the republican party of rebellion
against the free state. She has
opportunities of iascertaining & the
views of the members of the Dali and
these references were taken as point
ing to her opinion as to the probable
result in the Sim Fein parliament.
Friction Again Arises
George Gavan Duffy and other
speakers for ratification seemed to
take it for granted that the Dali
would approve the treaty.
There were several references 70
day, as yesterday, to plebiscite,
whatever the Dali decision may be.
Much friction between the opposing
sides was in evidence. Interchanges
this morning between de Valera and
Griffith created a tense atmosphere.
The speech of William Cosgrave in
the afternoon, however, went rar TO-
war drestoring mutual friendliness.
Cosgrave strongly advocated ratifi-
cation of the treaty; he made it plain
that great majority of the Irish peo-
pie favored acceptance. He followed
the line adopted by Michael Collins
and welcomed the treaty chiefly for
its immediate helpful effects on irish
social and economic conditsons.

Iowa Republican Says Social

For Accused Senator

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Use of so
cial influence to bring about a vote
favorable to Truman H. Newberry in
the Michigan senatorial election con-
test of 1918 was charged in the SEN
ate today by Senator Kenyon, repGb-
lican, Iowa, in. a discussion of the
contest. d"ring which he declared that
the election in which Newberry was
chosen over Henry Ford, the demo
cratic candidate, was tainted"
The Iowa senator, who is one of
the leaders of the agricultural bloc,
declared that of all blocs, the social
bloc" was the most powerful. He said
he was convinced that the senate,
when it votes on the election contest
next month, would declare Senator
Newberry elected, but the vote will
not the last of the Newberry case"
''The day Is coming" he continued,
when it will be heard in another
court-the court of the great Ameri-

will be worth while, because the
American people, when they under
stand the question, will decide right"
The cold fact is" he continued,
that this seat in the senate was
bought and the price was not a penny
less than S250.000. And l want to adj
that if this sale of seat is allowed
to stand, the rule OF the people is

main here had they gone ahead On
such a proposition as the four pow er

what it would amount to when finish

Il wonder" he added, whether the

to know whether they have bound our

The explosion, which occurred
shortly before D. m, while the store
was crowded with shoppers, was said
by firemen to have been caused by a
leak in gas main under the sidewalk

basement of the store, where they
were ignited by furnace. Investiga

opinion that all the dead and injured
had been removed. City firemen,
