POLA NEGRI'S LATEST
TRIUMPH COMING HERE

A dream of arabian Nights
magnificence and rom anc g
brought to life.
That, in phrase, describes
"0ne Arabian Night" an Associ-
ated First National attraction,
which will start an engagement
of four days at the Liberty theatre
tomorrow. Pola Negri is the star
of this production and because Of
the popularity which her former
pictures won for her, Manager
Bligh is making preparations to
handle record breaking crowds.
The Madame Du Barry of Pas
sion" and La Carmencita of "Gyp-
sy Blood" takes the part in this
pictures of a wild, whirling, dane
ing nymph of the desert, for love
Of whom men fight; in turn, her.
self loving with Ihe ferocity of the
sandstorms that are her playmates
Here she is more beautiful than
Du Barry, more artful than La
Carmencita-a composite exalta-
tion OF both and yet suggesting
neither. She has been endowed
with role more appealing than
any in which she has ever been
seen, and her talent as dancer
has been given free rein.
In her dance before the shiek,
in whose harem she is later in
stalled as the favorite wife, she
performs gyrations which prob
ably have never been equalled on
the screen, for she formerly was a
member Of the famous Russian
Imperial ballet, which produced
the greatest dancers In the world.

HOUSE UNABLE ID
 OVERRIDE VETO OF
 EMERGENCY TARIFF
Veto Is Called Up and Voted on Without Discussion, But Measure Meets Its
 Death
By Associated Press

Washington, March 4.-EffOrts te override President Wilson's veto of the Fordney emergency tariff biI failed in the House early this morn. ing, and the measure, originally de. signed to aid the farmers, thereby met it's death. The vote on the mos tion to pass the measure over ths Presidents veto was POI for and 13z against.
 This was 21 votes less than the neces- sary two-thrds.
 The veto was called up and voted od without discussion. There was little ex. pectation among republicans that theS could round up the two-thirds vote nee. ossary to override the vote. and it was for this reason that some leaders had urged Chairman Fordney of the ways ard means committee to let it lie on ths table without action.
 The bill was vetoed late today bs President Wilson in a message which de- clared that this is no time for the erec- tion here of high trade barriers" and that the measure would not furnish D any substantial degree the relief sought by the producers of most of the staple commodities which it covers" Action on the veto was expected in the Housi and possibly the Senate tonight with the indications for overriding 1t consid. erably in doubt
 NO SHORT WAY
 The situation in which many of ths farmers of the country find themselves cannot be remedied by measure of this sort the President said in his message. There is no short way out of existing conditions" he added and measures oi this sort can only have the effect of-de- ceiving the farmers and of raising false hopes among them" The farmer needs a better system of domestic marketing and credits, he said. but especially largs foreign markets for his surplus prods- cts" Clearly measures of this sort, he continued Twill not conduce to an ex- pansion of the foreign market"
 The President said the measure has only shght interest so far as it's prcsi pective revenue yields are concerned. and declared that the rates established in the bill either equal or exceed those under the Payne-Aldrich 5ci. in which the principle of protection reached it's high water mark, and the enactment of which was followed by an exhibition of protest on the past of fhe ,kla jcrlt1 of the American people,.
 VI do not believe, the President saids that the sober judgment of the masses of the people of the nation, or even of the special class whose interests are ln- mediately affected by this measure, Will a return, especially in view CT conditions which iend even less justi- fication for such action, to policy or legislation for selfish interests which will foster monopoly and increase the dispo- sitlon to look on the government as an instrument for private gain. instead OF an instrument for the promotion Of thS general wellbeing."

COURT ORDER FOR
 WAGE HEARING IS
 OBTAINED BY bUGG
Action of Receiver Apparently Taken Without Consulting Grand Chiefs of the
 Unions Involved
By Associated Press

Atlanta, March Swallowing close
 up on the heels of the sanctioning by union chiefs in Chicago of general
 strike on the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railway, B. L. Bugg, re- ceiver for the road, obtained an order in federal district court here late to- day for hearing on the wage reduc- tion March 26.
 The action of the receiver was taken apparently without consulting grand lodge representatives of the unions in- today. The union meeting came to a close without any announcement being made as to it's results or any state ment regarding the sanctioning of the strike which was voted an January 2S.
 The grand lodge representatives will when they are expected to discuss the wage hearing order, according to J. B. Hogshed, grand vice president of the clerks union. No other union officials would discuss the matter tonight nor would Mir. Hogshed make any further statement
 At the time the road was thrown into receivershp, Colonel Bugg as president was seeking to have the United States railway labor board authorize wage reduction of 50 per cent of the increases granted since 1917 and last week obtained such order from Federal District Judge Sibley who granted the receiver ship on concurrence of the road which claimed to be losing $i0o00o monthly
 The receivership order contained the usual clauses adjoining any employees from interfering with the receiver and commanding them to obey his orders and there was much speculation here as to it's possible effect on any strike orders. In his petition today Colonel Bugg ret- erated the roads claim of inability to operate without reducing wages. de- clared the road Host something like $4,6C0, day during January, and also mentioned that union leaders had filed a. formal protest against the wage re- ducton which went into effect March first by court order.

The British version of Dr. Simons' re- ply to Lloyd George indicated that they would. He was quoted as saying that the Germans would examine the prime minister's speech. that their intention had been mistaken and that no occasion would arise for employment of the meas ures outlined by the allies.
 The German text oftDr. Simons' speech, however. puts different complexion on the matter. According to this, the Ger man foreign secretary protested against sanctions (penalties) without legal foun- dation."
 This. of course. .sis based on the treaty of Versailles, which provides that penal ties cannot be enforced until after May l. but ignores the allies contention that the Germans have failed to comply with the conditions of the treaty.
 Dr. Simons is in close consultation with the other members of the delegation and also with the Berlin cabinet and while some of the Germans continued to ins.st that they could go no further towards meeting the standpoint of the allies, the belief prevailed that they will make new proposals, which MT. Lloyd Georges speech was aimed at inducing them to do.
 The British prime minister's presenta- ton of the allies case greatly pleased the French He drew a parallel between German action now and at Frankfort III '71, when the treaty was based on the assumption that France was Tn the wrong, and Germany demanded, not only reparation, but payment by France or the whole cost of the war.
 Until Germany accepts the position that she is responsible for the late war and interprets her obligations according ly" said MT. Lloyd George these con ferenees will be futle."
 He insisted, however that the aliles were mot going so far In the matter oi payment as the Germans went in MI,

 was then obvious that the pro- 3ects were defeated Certain members or the delegation considered it un. advisable to submit the proposed ap propriation to an open vote. But Sen ator Underwood, with whom they con ierfed, insisted that they put the House again on record.
 Future plans for conservation of the protects are not published by the dele gatlon. It is safe to state that despite an expression of hopefulness, all the members are more or less in actual despair

 tration as Under Secretary
By Associated Press

Washington March 3,--The nomina- ton of Norman H. Davis of Tennessee. to be Under Secretary of State, was Unanimously confirmed late today by the Senate, acting in open executive session.
 The confirmation was requested by Chairman Lodge of the foreign rela- tions committed, who intimated that it was desired by the republicans be- cause of MT. Davis work on the in- ternational councils. It also was in timated that he would be retained by the republican administration to con- tinue that work.
 Unsuccessful attempts were made to secure the confirmation of Finnis J. Garrett to be judge of the western disi trict of Tennessee. py Senators Under wood. Alabama, Robinson. Arkansas, and Shields and Mcclellan, Tennessee, all democrats. .
 Senator Lodge contended that offices of federal judges ought to be reserved for the incoming administration and objected to Mir Garrett's confirmation on that ground.
 Chaimran Wadsworth of the miIi- tary affairs committee reported the nominations of several hundred army officers, including promotions and transfers in grades below that of Erigadler general, and al his request the Senate unanimously confirmed them. More than 1000 army officerA including lieutenants and captains however. failed to be confirmed be- cause of objections by Senator Me- Kellar.
 Another unsuccessful effort Aas made by Senator Kellogg, republican, Minnesota, to obtain the confirmation of Fred K Nelson, as solicitor of the state department
 The Senate also confirmed the nomf- nation of Melvin H. Coulston as com. missioner of patents on an explAna. tion that the work of the office would be stopped if the place was not filled.
 Later the nomination of MT Nelson to be solicitor in the state department was confirmed.
 The Senate also confirmed en bloe all the presidential nominations of of- ficers of the marine corps below the rank of brigadier general.
 Mir. Davis, by virtue of the confirna- tion of his nomination, will continue as. under Secretary of State until his successor, Henry F. Fletcher, IS ap- pointed and qualities. Otherwise. NIT. Davis term of office would expire to- noon. When Mr Fletcher be- comes under secretary, MT.

throughout the speech. Dr. Simons was extremely palt. There were no signs on any part of the German delegation leav- ing London, while Premier Briand and M. Berthelot, of France, NJ Jasper, the Belgian foreign minister, and the other delegates will remain pending the Ger man reply.
 It is noted that the towns to be occu- pied in case the Germans refuse to come to terms face the territory occupied by the Anglo-Belsians so that these armies will be the first to move, should the ne- cessity exist.
 The allies decided having regard fer the miraculous of the treaty. that Ger many intended further to defy the treaty, determination indicated by the counter proposals, the prime minister said, and added:
 We must act upon the assumption that the German government is deliberately in default, and unless we hear by Monday tf at Germany is either prepared to ac- cept the Paris decision or submit pro posals which will in other ways equally satisfactorily discharge her obligations under the treaty of Versailles-subject to the concessions made in the Paris pro- posals-we shall from that date take the following course under the treaty oI Versailles:
 "First-Occupation by the allied troops of Dusburg Dusseldorf and Ruhrfort.
 .'Second-Legislation by the respective parliaments requiring their nationals to pay certain proportion of all moneys due Germany on German goods to thelf several governments, such proportion to be retained on account of reparaton This is in respect to goods purchased either in this country or any allied coun- try from Germany.
 "Third-Amount of duties collected ny German customs houses on the external frontiers of the occupied territories to be paid to the reparation commission; these duties to continue to be levied in accord- ance with the German tariff; line or custom houses to be established tenn porarily on the Rhine and a boundary porarily on the Rhine and at boundary tariff to be levied on this line, both on the entry and export of goods. to be de- termined by the allied high commissioner in the Rhine territory in conformity win instructions of the allied governments
