TREATY DISPUTE
 FORECASTS STORM IN SENATE DEBATE

WaShington-Storm warnings werd flashed as the Senate continued to mark time today on the disputed Co., lombian treaty. Opposition to its ratification by Borah, of Idaho; Kel- logg of Minnesota, and other Repub- Hcan Senators was developing rapidly.
 Senator Lodge. of Massachusetts,, Republican leader, and chairman of the Foreign Relations committee, in- dicated that the Situation hinged up- on the special message regarding the treaty President Harding is reported to be planning to send to the Senate.
 Lodge would not discuss the situa- tion, except to state clearly he ex- pected the treaty to be ratified at the present special session of the Senate if the President so desired.
 If the treaty is called up for final action, it is the purpose of Borah and it's other opponents to insist that it be considered and debated in open executive session, so that all that is said and done respecting it may be given the fullest publicity.
 The treaty's opponents are also prepared. They say, to call attention to the fact that Lodge originally op- posed the payment of S25, 100000 to Co1omb bia for territory now a part of the Panama Canal zone, as provided by the treaty, and was a signer of a Senate report in which the demand of Colombia for such payment was emphasized as 'BlackmaiI.'

News of the passing of Peter T. Brennan of SO5 William street,a a native and lifelong resident of this city, which occurred during the night, came as a shock to his legion of friends throughout the city Although neither the family nor the attending physician had any reason to fear for the worst. MT. Brennan worked as usual until a week ago, since which time he has been taking matters quietly about the home. He was in rather cheerful spirits all of yester- day and before retiring. During the night he was seized with what is be- lieved to have been @ heart attack and passed quietly away. His wife discovered that he was dead about 6 this morning. At 2 a. m. he had chatted pleasantly with her for a few moments and apparently fell into a restful s1umber.

Brennan of the Jackson Stone Company; Cliff ford c. Brennan, who is associated with his brother in business; Mrs, Leslie J. Burby; and Miss Marguerite Brennan, who lived at home.
