 Montgomery, October 7.--(Special.) Arriving at the state house Friday to be present for tho first time at the special session of the legislature, Senator T. J. Bedsole of Clarke coun- ty. chairman of the senate commit he would call meeting of his com mittee Monday to consider the ce- real beverage bill. advocated by the administration. The bill has been pigeon -holed" since its introduction on the first legislative day, because of the absence of the committee chairman. similar bill, by vote of to ' was adversed by the house committee on ways, means and ap- populations.
 Another attack was started on the state law enforcement department In the senate Friday when Senator D. A. Baker of the Twenty first dis tr.ct introduced a bill which would abolish the, department. There is now pending like bill In the house, it having been referred to a committee when introduced.
 A bill of Senator Kelly of tho Twenty first district would amend Section of the general revenue act of the 1919 legislature, and exempt from taxation all tenant houses. The author believes that exemption would stimulate the building of homes in Alabama.
 Session Very Brief
 The state senate was in session I IErtd o'clock 1t convened Five minutes later it recessed until Il o'clock, and at 1I:20 o'clock 1t met again. There being no matters to dispose Of, be- cause of a resolution of Senator Char lie McDowell of Barbour county, which tied the hands of the senators. the upper branch adjourned soon thereafter until 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, at which time both houses will convene for the fifth legisla- tive day.
 senator John Rogers of Sumter county. made an effort to have adopted a resolution which would provide for joint session at o'clock Monday to hear w. $. Kellar, state highway engineer, explain the work done by his department under the present road laws. His attention was called to the provisions of the McDowell resolution. which did not permit the consideration of bills or resolutions on Friday and the reso- lutions was withdrawn. It Is very probable MT Kellar win be invited to address the two houses Monday afternoon.
 The Mcdowell resolution was pre- sented because many senators de- sired to go to their homes for Fri day. and they did not want any measures adopted or discussed while they were absent. The resolution completely tied the hands of the sen ators. with the exception of hearing reports of committees and receiving messages from the house.
 Only a Few senators remained in the city Friday, and the senate chamber was deserted soon after ad- journment.

Bessaraloiia
A Russians Voice Raised Against
Its Ccssion to Rumania

Its Ccssion to Rumania
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Several newspapers have re-
Gently published articles regarding the
claims of Runhnia to Bcssarabia,
which lies in the southwestern part of
Russia.
Bessarabia was annexed to Russia
under the treaty which followed the
war between Russia and Turkey. After
the. Crimean War 1850 and in con-
Formity with the clauses of the Treaty
of Paris, which was imposed on Rus
STA by England, France and Turkey.
the former was compelled to hand over
to the Allies one of the eight districts
into which Bessarabia is divided. which
was incorporated by them as a part
OF Rumania.
In 1877, after the Russian Turkish
War, this same district was restored
20 Russia. This restitution was re-
garded as q PREPARATION for the injus-
tlce committed in 1856 Not wishing,
however, to prejudice the interests Of
her ally, Rumana, Russia amply COM
pensated the latter by giving her the
whole province Of Dobrudja. 1t must
be remembered that at the time Of
the first annexation of the whole Of
Bessarabia (1812). Rumania did not
exist as an independent nation, being
one of the provinces of Turkey. There
fore this territory never belonged to
Rumania. Notwithstanding the lattcr's
claim to the contrary.
Russia, having given greater service
than Rumania to the Allied cause, not
only did not obtain anything, but her
loss in territory, with consent of the
league of her former Allies, is many
time greater than Germany's. Ct do
not include here the Russian part of
Poland and Finland, the independence
of which was proclaimed by Russia
itself. Nevertheless, Rumania claims
part of Russian territory equal In
size to AlsaceL Lorraine, and also part
of Bulgaria.
The annexation Of Bessarabia to
Russia was regarded by the Allies as
Illegal and for unknown reasons was
awarded to Rumania, Notwithstanding
the attitude of the United States. We
Russians hope and believe that the
President of the United States will
stand for the territorial integrity and
proper boundaries of Russia at the
time when real and sincere friends are
most needed. The friend in need is
the friend indeed, and Russia some day
may come to the assistance of the
United States in the cause of humanity
and justice.

The Colombian Claim
Hamilton Holt Rcjoices at Prospcc

Hamilton Holt Rcjoices at Prospect
of Treaty Ratification
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Every American who ms the
honor of his country at heart ought to
rejoice that Presiden. Harding, fol-
lowing in the footsteps of Presidents
Taft and Wilson, has requested the
Senate to ratify tho treaty with Colon
bia by which the United States will
indemnify Colombia for the loss Of
the Panama Canal.
Whether Mr.. Roosevelt "took the
isthmus" rightly or wrongly is a matter
about which political moralists differ.
But there can be no doubt whatsoever
that the United States by recognizing
Panama Immediately after her seces-
sion and guaranteeing open transit in
the Canal Zone prevented Colombia
from regaining or trying to regain her
lost territory. Colombia repeatedly
appealed to our State Department for
redress. She waived the question Of
the return Of Panama, but she did think
She had a good case for damages and
was DESTROYS of referring the whole
matter to arbitration. Mr.. Root, how
ever, as Secretary of State turned a
deaf ear to Colombia's opportunities
and finally stopped answering her notes
altogether.
When Mr.. Taft was President he ex-
pressed his willingness to pay Colom-
bia quit claim of $25 900, 900, but it
was near the end of his term, and Con-
gress, having no expectation of "favors
to come,' paid no attention to him.
Mr.. Wilson made similar attempt.
but the matter was held up because the
treaty began with an apology. Mr..
Wilson deleted the apology, but the war
broke out and the whole matter was
tabled till to-day.
The United States, despite the last
election, can we'll afford to be gcner-
GUS in her dealing with foreign nations
and especially with those of this con-
tinent. There should be no further
delay in satisfying the just claims of
Colombia, both for her sake and ours.
