TO RAT|FY
NAVAL PACT TODAY
Unanimous Vote in Senate
Forecast-opposition Fails
to Develop
SENATOR REED ABSENT

Washington. March 20.-Prediction
that the Senate would ratify the naval
treaty today by unanimous
vote was made by Administration lead
ers in view Of the complete absence Of
opposition to the treaty when brought
up Yesterday, for debate.
Favorable sentiment revealed during
the five hours Of discussion yesterday
resulted in an agreement for a final
vote on ratification today at 3 p. NJ.
Administration leaders also were hope
full that the submarine and poison gas
treaty would be approved without an
opposing vote before adjournment to-
night.
Although there were numerous ex'
pressions of disappointment on the
Democratic side yesterday that the lin
itation treaty did not 60 further in the
direction of both land and sea disarm :
ament. not a single voice was raised in
opposition to the pact.
|. Claims by the Democrats for share
of the credit for the reductions ac-
tually accomplished were based on the
argument that the whole idea. OF an
armament conference originated with
the Democratic Congress Of 1915 and
finally was forced upon a reluctant he'
publican Administration.
Following the forceful presentation
Of the treaty for ratification BY Sen :
ator Lodge and its support In an equally
effective speech by Senator Underwood.
virtually all Of the limitation articles oi
the pact were agreed to one by one
Adoption took place by viva voce vote
The one indicated opponent OF tht
treaty, Senator Reed. Democrat, oi
Missouri, is campaigning in his home
State, and his absence appears to insure
unopposed ratification.
Before he left Washington, and in thu
course of the Four Power Treaty debate
Mr.. Reed blew off characteristic steam
against the naval pact. A large par,
Of Mr.. Lodges speech yesterday wal
devoted to showing that the Reed steam
for the most part was not steam Mt all
but gaseous vapor.

Miss Briggs explained that she had
gone into Miss Rappe's room on the day
Of her death. 'She asked me about the

the door of the hotel room in which the
struggle was alleged to have taken
place were not those Of Miss Rappe
