WASHINGTON, March /. - The
four-power Pacific treaty, its purpos-
es and possibilities and the manner Of
its negotiation, passed through an
other spectacular combat of argu-
ment and oratory today on the floor
Of the senate.
Throughout the battle Of wits the
burden of defense was carried by
Senator Underwood of Alabama, the
Democratic floor leader and a MEM
Der Of the American delegation to the
arms conference. Hinged by enemies
of the treaty, largely Of his own
party, the minority leader stood for
three hours in his place in the center
chamber and replied in kind to the
thrusts directed at him.
Among the weapons or argument
used by the Alabama senator was a
letter written to him by Secretary
Hughes, head Of the American con-
ference plenipotentiaries replying to
charges that the treaty resulted from
a British-Japanese plan to allay the
embarrassments OF the Anglo -Japa-
nese alliance. Mr.. Hughes asserted
that he himself had prepared a draft
of the treaty after consultation with
the other delegates and that, with
minor changes, it became the final
text as signed and submitted to the
senate for ratification.
The state department secretary
further declared there was not the
slightest mystery about the treaty or
basis Of suspicion about it." He de-
scribed it as "a straightforward doc
ument which attains one OF the most
important objects the American gov
ernment has had in view Of the high
est Importance to the maintenance OF
friendly relations in the Far East
upon q. sound basis.
"In view of this and in view OF the
relation of this treaty to the results
OF the conference" concluded Mr..
Hughes. 'its failure would be nothing
short of a national calamity"
The argumentative duel which fol-
lowed the reading of the secretary's
letter and which interposed itself into
the senator's prepared address, was
fought for an hour between the
speaker and Senator Robinson, DEM
ocrat of Arkansas, who originally had
raised the question of the origin of
the treaty and who declared that the
secretary's letter had not dispelled
evidences that the four power ar
rangement was inspired from London
and Tokyo. Other Democrats then
Joined in the questioning of their
party leader. including Senators Reed
OF Missouri, Glass of Virginia, Walsh
of Montana, and Watson of Georgia.
From the Republican side of the
chamber their efforts were seconded
by Senators Borah Of Idaho and
France Of Maryland.
His support of the treaty, Senator
Underwood said, was actuated by the
same spirit that prompted him 20
vote for the treaty of Versailles, with
its League of Nations. He declared
no alliance was contemplated but
added that he could see no objection
even to an alliance II it were based

CLAIM Of PRIORITY FOR
.RH|NELAND EXPENSES
Finance Ministers Sign Agreement For Dis
tribution Of German Reporations Disre-
garding Americas Claims Because u. S.
Not Party To Versailles Pact Provision
LRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

PARIS, Mar. 1.-THE allied finance
ministers signed an agreement this
afternoon for the distribution Of the
first billion gold marks Of German
reparations. The agreement disre-
CARDS the American claim of priority
for its expenses in connection with
occupation of the Rhineland so far
as the actual sharing of this money is
concerned, but recognizes the claim
by a special clause. which states that
all the agreements on this question
are subject to the American rights as
the various governments may estab-
lish them, the finance ministers con-
sidering that they do not have power
to decide this question.
The ministers decided that the
question was not for the reparationS
commission to decide, because that
body was acting solely under the
provisions OF the treaty OF Versailles.
to which the United States no longer
was a party. Consequently. it was
decided that the question was one for
the various governments concerned to
settle.
The finance ministers also conclud-
ed that it was impossible for them to
reopen the long and difficult delib-
erations which resulted in the pres
ent agreement, so they could only
reserve the American right and leave
the question for diplomacy to settle.
The agreement provides that the
expenses of the armies of occupation
after May /, 1922 shall be divided as
follows:
One hundred and two million Bel
gian francs to Belgium; 100000
pounds to Great Britain and 100000
900 francs to France. The distribu-
ton of deliveries in kind by Germany
in 1922 will be ON the basis of s 5 per
cent to France and 35 per cent to the
other allies. The Wiesbaden agree
ment will continue in force for three
years, with the reservation that pay
ments will not exceed 350,000,000 gold
marks worth of material in 1922:
750, 600, 900 in 1923 and 750,000,000 in
1924. Other powers besides France.
under the agreement. are permitted
to conclude arrangements with Ger
many similar to the Wiesbaden agree
ment, provided such agreements do
not call for deliveries in kind in ex-
cess of the total amount fixed by the
present agreement.
None of the powers, the agreement
provides, will be compelled to turn
back any cash as result OF deliv-
cries in kind received in 1922.
The first billion marks paid in cash
are to be distributed as follows (leav-
ing out of account the American
claim:
Five hundred million marks at
Great Britain as partial reimburse
ment Of the expense of her armies of
occupation up to May /, 1921; 140,-
100000 gold marks to France for the
same purpose, and the remainder to
Belgium with the exception of 172,-
100000 lire allotted to Italy.

California City
Has First Snow
In Seven Years

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. H.
Several sections of California to-
day had their first March snow in
many years. In others the pre-
cipitation turned to rain and in at
least one case that also set
record.
There was snow on the hills in
sight of San Francisco early to-
day; TurIoek had a one-inch fall
this morning and San Bernardino
had a furry or two of the white
flakes. Seven inches of snow fell
at jackson and 18 inches at Col
fax. Merced, usually rated az
having a warm climate, had an
impromptu winter carnival as q
result of it's first snow storm in
seven years.
Almond and apricot orchards
suffered no damage from the fall,
although their trees are just COM
inq into bloom. Bakersfield had
its first snow in ten years.

DEMOCRATIC MEMBER
Of ARMS DELEGATION
REPLIES To ATTACKS
Underwood Declares Farley Conducted More
Openly Than Any Similar Consultation In
Worlds History; Party Leaders Confident
OF Safe Majority For Treaty Ratification

on arbitration rather than force and
effaced dangers that threatened
American interests in the Pacific To
reject the pact because II does not
bind the signatories to employ force,
he asserted would be to revert to
the reactionary philosophy of the
past.
The Democratic leader conceded
that the negotiations leading up TO
the treaty were carried on in "secrc-
cy' but argued that such a course
was necessary in view of the peculiar
circumstances surrounding the effort
OF the American delegation to rid the
world Of the Anglo Japanese alliance
In the main, he said, the arms con-
ference was conducted more openly
than any similar consultation in the
history of the world.
Senator Robinson insisted, in turn,
that the provision for consultation
among the signatories 10 agree on n
course of action in case of aggression
by an outside power" could mean
only that the force of all four was 60
be united against the aggressor.
When any such consultation TOOK
place, he argued, and any one power
signified that it was not able to meer
the attack alone, the only means
tiS OAncIS COuiQ suggest was unltCu
action. He asked that Mr.. Hughes
now inform the senate why he had
remained silent so long as to the
method by which the treaty was
drafted.
Because many senators desired 70
complete work on an appropriation
bill. administration leaders did not
force vote today on the first OF the
proposed reservations and the treaty
was laid temporarily aside without
action. Senator Lodge of AIassachu-
setts. the Republican leader. an
nounced however, that on Monday he
would attempt to secure an agree
ment for q time for voting. and
should he fail would hold the senate
to 'long sessions" until the debate
had worn itself out.
Although they cared to make no
numerical estimates, the Republican
and Democratic floor leaders both re-
mained confident tonight that no res
ervation except that drawn by the
foreign relations committee would be
adopted and that the treaty woull
have a safe majority on the ratifica-
ton roll call. They declared that
more than the necessary two-thirds
had pledged themselves TO support II.

COMM TEE
ENDS v ORK
ON FINANCE
LEGISLATION
Total Of Appropriations
Bill Is Not Known But
Indications Are 1t Is
Reduced BY 81, 900, 900

The general appropriation bill
which has engaged the attention of
the leading members of the appro-
priations committee Of both houses
in some degree since the beginning
of the session and almost constantly
for the past week was practically
concluded yesterday. and 1T is stated
that it will be ready for the printer
tomorrow morning. 1t Will also prob
ably be introduced into the house to-
morrow.
1t was stated yesterday that 1t had
not been accurately footed so that
there was no member of either COM
mittee who would give the exact to-
tai it carried, but it was said that in
the final revision the tentative total
had been considerably reduced. At
that time it was understood that the
appropriations were less by nearly a
million dollars than those carried in
the general appropriation bill Of the
regular session for the year 1922-'23.
The footing of the bill, however,
will not reveal by comparison with
the general appropriation bill OF the
regular session, all OF the saving Tor
there will be included in 1t much
that had been carried in statutory
appropriations. Some idea, though,
Quoting from the total of the forth
coming appropriation bill. the total
of a repeating bill which viii be
brought in at the same time, includ-
ing the repeal of some los such
continuing or statutory appropriations
for which the appropriations commits
tees have been searching the revised
statutes and the session laws pains
takingly.
If ther is a statutory appropriation
left anywhere in the existing laws 1t
will be because of an oversight of
the committee. And it is said that
an effort will be made to prevent
again the encumbering of the stat
utes with any such appropriations.
Will Rush Bill
Tt IS understood that nearly all
other legislation will be set aside for
the consideration of the appropria>
ton and repeal bill; at any rate.
none will be considered that will in
terfere with expeditions action upon
these measures.
The only other development OF a
nom Legislative day was prolonged
caucus to the democratic members
of the senate at the Hotel Adams
yesterday afternoon. Several men,
bers Of the house participated in 1t,
but no hint of the matters under con-
sideration was given out.
Action is expected tomorrow on
House Bill No. 2. the Kimball bin
for the amendment of the Improve
ment act, Which is in the hands Of
the senate committee on state, coun-
ty and city affairs. Action of the
committee was held up last week be-
cause Of q motion by Senator Sims
to strike out the invalidating clause
of the bill: that is a clause of the
bill, not affecting the chief purpose
of it to provide for competition for
bidding on street paving but to meet
a condition at Tucson where a paw
ing project has been held up in an
ticipation of the passage of the bill.
This section was designed to in
validate certain proceedings that had
been taken with regard to that pro-
ject. Conflicting kilograms and in
structions have since been received
from Tucson, though all of them
strongly favor the enactment of the
bill in its main feature.

Government May
Insure Fuel To
Operate Trains

DAYTONA, Fla, Mar. 11.-Govern-
ment intervention to insure suffi-
cient fuel for the movement of trains
and the running of essential indus
tries may be recommended to the ad-
ministration as q proper course Of
action in the event of coal strike,
it was declared here today by mem
ber of the party accompanying Pres
ident Harding on his Florida trip. 1t
was emphasized, however, that this
view did not necessarily reflect the
opinion of President Harding, who
has made no comment on the situa-
tion.
Consideration might also be given,
il the emergency warranted, the Of
ficial said, to program to provide
for a commission representing the
operators, miners and public to ar
bitrate the controversy. Failure or
arbitration, it was added, might re-
suit in a suggestion for more drastic
action, even to the point Of operation
OF the mines by the government.
