which he reached this conclusion.

Four-Power Pact Taken
Up in Committee Gets
Friendly Attention.

Washington, Feb. 1f.-Consideratio
of the four-power Pacific treaty, one
of the seven laid before the senate Fri
day by President Harding as the prod
ucts Of the Washington conference was
begun Saturday by the senate foreign
relations committee which, after a
lengthy discussion of the pact adjourn
ed to meet again Tuesday.
No definite program for considera-
ton of the four-power and other treat
les was agreed upon by the committee.
There was no demand for hearings,
however, and senators said they prob
ably would be dispensed with.
Ihe four-power treaty was taken up
first by mutual consent, it was said.
1t was read and re-read at the initial
plantations of various phrases made by
Senator Lodge.
May Report One at Time
Senator Lodge after the session said
that it was probable the committee
would not consider the seven treaties
at one time, but would report out each
treaty as its consideration was fin
ished.
Friends of the four-power treaty
expressed satisfaction over the prog
ress of the first committee session
Senator'S Borah, republican, Idaho, and
Brandegee, republican. Connecticut,
who have been inclined to oppose the
treaty, were reported to have asked
many questions and raised points as to
the treaty's possible Implications. in
cluding that of moral obligation for
use Of American force in its observ-
ance.
Reservations Not Brought UP
It was understood that Senator
Lodge vigorously reiterated the con-
tention that there was no obligation
for the use of force and only one for
discussion in the event any question
should arise challenging the four pow
ars' insular rights in the Pacific. Indi-
cations were said to have been given
that there would be considerable demo-
cratic support for the four-power
treaty.
There was no definite declaration

ROME; CAN 7 SEE
POPE GET TIARA
Thousands Americans
After Tickets, Total of
Which Is Only 300.
Even Cardinals Feel In
suited by Rebuffs Civ
en- Their Requests.

Rome, Feb. 11.-(By The Associated
Press).-A thousand Americans So
journing her have applied to the Amer
ican college for tickets to the corona
ton of Pope Plus, but the allotment
of the Vatican to the college only
amounts to 300, thus 700 Americans
are securing Rome in an effort to OBJ
tain tickets for Sundays historic
event. Tickets have been offered by
various spectators at 100 lire each.
Monsignor Same de Samper, papal
chamberlain, finds himself in serious
conflict with various high officials Of
the pontificial household because of his
inability to satisfy the demand for
tickets. The secretary of states de-
partment requested 200 tickets for the
diplomatic corps, but when they were
issued the percentage consisted of only
$50 and several important persons
were refused admission to the cham
berIain's office in the major domo's
quarters.
Nearly Eject Clamorous Romans
Cardinal Tacci sent a messenger to
request tickets but it is reported the
messenger was turned abruptly from
the entrance. Some of the families of
the Roman aristocracy also were con-
fronted by either leaving the Vatican
premises or being escorted by the gen.
darmerie.
Pope Wears Italian Order
Following the announcement that
the pope had been decorated with the
white eagle of Poland, it is learned
that his holiness also wears the high
Italian decoration of Knight of st.
Maurice and st. Lazarus.
An interpreter of handwriting who
has made an analysis of the pope's
writing declared that with the mental
and spiritual equipment with which the
pope is endowed, his reign is sure to be
full of wonderful developments. The
experts say that the handwriting re-
yeals a superior spirit of serenity,
clearness and sincerity. The writing
shows a person of great distinction
and simplicity, but of little diplomatic
quality.
See Chance To End Schism
Many prelates in the Vatican are Of
the opinion that with Plus NJ on the
papal throne, there will be a great op-
for the Roman church to
advance toward healing the schism be-
tween the orthodox and Roman church
