tead himself before the senate

today.
This was Newberry's answer ID
recent suggestions tnat he do cne
or the otner. III sit tight and
wait with what patience 1 can sum-
mon for the senate to act on the
report Of the committee that in
vestigated me-" Newberry said.
His attitude, Sewberry said, was
based on the best advice he could
get. As to the report that l will
resign" he said, Il have often
wished myself out of all this, but
to resign now is impossible"
Friends of the senator say that
he realizes Republican leaders may
be put in an embarrassing position
by Democratic efforts to orst him,
but that he considers resignation
while he is under fire would be
taken as an admission OF guilt
Lodge Asks Denial.
Senator Lodge, Republican lead
er, however, has been insisting that
New berry, in a speech to the SEN
ate, deny for himself that he per-
sonally spent large sums or knew
of the spending OF any undue
amount in the 1918 Michigan sena-
torial campaign.
Il shall expect Senator Newberry
to arise and deny that he had any
part in the matter" Lodge said to
Senator Spencer, Missouri, chair
man of the committee that inyesti-
gated and excnerated Eewberry.
Spencer told Lodge such a thing
would never do. He got Senator

: MORE BODIES
AREREC0vERED
FROM WRECK
Huge Crane Brought
to Help in Removing
Airship From River.
Public Funeral With
Military Honors to Be
Held Next Wednesday

Hull, Aug, 26.-(By the Associat
ed Press)-Recovery from the wreel
of the ZR-2 late Friday of two more
bodies, those of Albert L. Loftin, al
American mechanic and Flight Ser.
geant A. P. Martin, of the British
crew, and the near recovery of an
other, which slipped from the mass
of wreckage just after it was brought
to the surface, gave hope of finding
other members of the crew.
Inquest Held.
As the salvagers worked, another
brief chapter in the tragedy was writ
ten when the coroner's inquest on the
bodies of Lieut.. Marcus H. Esterly,
of Washington, D. c.. Lieut. Charles
Little of Newburyport, Mass, and
Lieut.. r. s. Montague of the British
personnel, was opened. The session
was brief and after taking some evi-
dence, adjourned until October 4. The
formality enabled the coroner's in
quest to issue burial certificates.
Further inquiry is impossible at pres
ent owing to the lack of evidence and
the fact that the most important wit
ness, Flight Lieut.. A. H. Wann, must
remain in the hospital another fort
night.
The American air force was repre-
sented by Lieutnants John B. Law
renee. Joseph B. Anderson and William
R. Taylor. A number of British of
ficers were present. John III. Grout,
American consul was present as an
observer.
Lieut. Taylor identified the two
Americans. speaking in voice which
shook with emotion. A British air
officer identified Lieut.. Montague.
An interesting point brought out
rather casually was that the airship
had been officially named ZR-2 but
still was the R-38.
From early morning the salvagers
worked among the wreckage of the
ZR-2, They found what is believed to
be the remains of the forward part
OF the ship. where most of the crew
were on duty when the career of the
dirigible was cut short. Late Friday
a huge, 1OO-ton crane was placed in
the middle of the Humber river and it
was expected to lift portion of the
Find but Two Gondolas.
IL is reported Dy the SalVAgerS Ilat
they have located but two of the six
yondolas. This leads to the belief that
The explosion blew the center gondola
to pieces and threw the others away
rom the ship and that the remains
'f them may be found by dredging the
7icinity of the wreck.
An official announcement by the
liver and harbor authorities Friday
morning said that the wreck is 4SS
,eet from shore and on shoal, when
1t low tide is covered by only two
,eet of water, This lends proof to the |
he Dry that the gondolas were destroy
I'd; otherwise they could be seen at |
ow tide
A great military funeral, open to
he public, is to be held at the How |
len airdrome next Wednesday.

follow failure to comply with the rule

possible" giving the board power to

The note is said to declare that
Panama, having rejected the decision
handed down by the late Chief Justice
White relative to the frontier, the
arbitration agreement entered into be-
fore that award was made does not
exist.
State department officials in Wash
ington appeared unperturbed Friday
by the report that Panama would not
recognize the validity of the commits
sion selected to delimit the boundary
line between Costa Rica and Panama.
1t was intimated that the continued
Panaman opposition would not pre-
vent the marking of the line in accord
with the White award.
Luis Garay, the foreign minister of
Panama. who has been conducting the
negotiations before the state depart
ment has departed for his capitol,
upon instructions from his govern
ment and has filed with the depart
ment sharp communication reassert-
ing the justice of the Panaman claims
DR.. Garay in his protest declared
that Panama "cries to heaven against
the injustice" to which he said she has
been subjected through the stand taken
by the United States in the boundary
atspuLe. he IOreiSU minister duQeQ
that the Panaman government will
look to the future to see that redeem
ing justice comes some day by the
inexorable design of God"
The note of the Panaman minister,
who has been here on q special mission,
was transmitted just before he left for
Panama last Wednesday and reasserted
the justice Of his governments claims
while deprecating the possible use of
force by the United States in seeing
that the White award is carried out.
The reply of Secretary Hughes, which
vas made public Friday night, says that
the American government has fully
considered all the questions in the con-
troversy, but has found no escape from
the conclusion that the governments of
Panama and Costa Rica are bound by
.he arbitral award
"It is my earnest hope" the note
that the government and
people Of Panama will realize that the
government of the United States has
acted in this matter in the most sin
ere friendship, animated solely by the
lesire to do complete justice and with
he profound conviction that the surest
safeguard Of independence and terri
oriaI integrity lies in the faithful OBJ /
eryance of international Obligations.

FRENCH CONFERENCE
MAY CAUSE DELAY
IN RUSSIA RELIEF
Walter L. Brown, Head of U.
S. Delegation, Sent to Paris
to Confer With Chiefs.

Washington, Aug. 26.-The Russian
relief situation developed a new prob
lem Friday. with the calling Of an in
ternational conference to meet in
Paris, presumably with a view to CO.
ordinating relief measures.
In response to urgent requests from
abroad, the state department has des-
ignated Walter l.. Brown, who nego-
tiated the relief agreement at Riga to
attend and make a complete survey of
European opinion as it develops there
At the state department information
was refused Friday night as to the
purposes or scope Of the conference or
the details of it's organization. 1t is
assumed, however, that the invitations
were issued from France, and that all
Of the European nations interested in
the Russian tangle would be repre-
sented. There has been indication that
the meeting will delay American relief
work.
Since the negotiations over the send
ing Of supplies into Russia began, the
United States has insisted that what
ever relief work is undertaken by this
country should be exclusively under
American control.
