FIUME BECOMES
SOLOMON TRIAL

ROME, March 15.-The refusal OF
Deputy Giurati to accept the gov
ernorship of Fiume once more
plunges the future Of the trouble
scme city into doubt. The bitter
ness of the opposing factions is so
intense that a choice of one leader
acceptable to all is most difficult.
The Italians are comparing the
Fiume situation to the old Solomon
incident in which two mothers
claimed the same child. The real
mother offered the child to the
other woman when the judge
threatened to have the baby cut in
half, giving a half to each OF the
claimants. The Italians assert that
they have superior claims to Fiume,
but they appreciate the fact that
Fumes future existence, half Ital-
ian and half Jugo-Slav as set forth
under the name of autonomy in the
treaty of Raphallo, is not natural
and will result only in a prolonga-
tion Of the trouble
1t was at the italian govern
ment's request that Sig Giurati re-
fused the governorship and the
Rome papers are referring to him
as a great italian patriot who sac
rifced his ambition and opportunity
to save his country from interna-
tional difficulties. It is considered
most certain here that -Slavia
would have raised the most siren
uous objections to the presence of
an italian deputy at the head Of the
new Plume government

FURTHER DELAYS
WILL CONFRONT
BONUS In SENATE
Finance Committee May
Amend Bill and Force
New Fight.

Although IL is virtually certain
the House will pass the soldiers
bonus bill next week. the bonus is
by no means assured.
This became evident yesterday
when on the heels of opposition
from the President and Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon to the
House measure, there came evil
dence that the Senate probably
would not accept the bill as il
comes from the House.
Long delay in the Senate Finance
Committee is declared to be a GER
tainty and postponement of all
bonus legislation a possibility as a
result of the Senate attitude. One
administration leader insists that
il final action is not postponed, the
Finance Committee will insist upon
amending the bill to provide either
for a bond issue to finance the
bonus or a sales tax which was ad-
vocated by President Harding.
Tariff Bu blockade.
When the bonus bill reaches the
Senate IL will find the Finance
Committee still struggling with the
long delayed tariff bill. How much
longer the committee will struggle
with the tariff no one predicts
Every forecast that has been made
by admin stration leaders as to
when the bill would be reported to
the Senate has been a miscalcula-
tion and of late, some pessimisti-
cally inclined leaders have been
saying. that even tariff revision may
not come Yntil after the Congress
sional election.
Whatever happens about the tar
IN, the Finance Committee is still
hard at II and will show no dispo-
sition to lay il aside for the bonus
bill. So delay in consideration of
this legislation will be encountered
there.
When the Finance Committee takes
up the bonus however. assurances
have been given that hearings will be
given to Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon, Controller OF the Currency
Crissinger and other administration
officials who are opposed to the House
bill providing for bonus certificates.
IL the committee heeds the advice OF
these officials. It will kill the House
bill by amendments providing either
for a bond issue or a sales tax. Thai
will start the fight all over again
II the Senate shoud pass such q
measure, particularly a sales tax
bill
Definite arrangements for considera-
ton on the bill in the House next
week are awaiting the return OF
Speaker Gillette, who Is expected back
from Florida Saturday. In case the
Speaker, who has been with Presi-
dent Hsrding's party, objects to con.
sideration of the bill under a suspsn-
sion Of rules on Monday with "a

ONPACIFIC TREATY
AT NOON, MARCH24
Agreement Believed to
Show Opponents Con-
cede Defeat.

The Senate is expected to ratify
the four-power Pacific treaty at
noon on FRIDAY. March "a.
The treaty will come to a vote at
that time. under terms of a unani-
NOUS agreement reached in the Sem
ate late yesterday.
The agreement provides that
there shall be no further voting on
reservations or amendments until
Tuesday. Beginning the following
afternoon, debate will be limited to
thirty minutes on reservations and
an hour on the treaty proper for
each Senator.

Ability of leaders to reach the
agreement is generally taken as an
Indication that the opponents are
now ready to conccde their defeat.
Ratification of the other arms con-
ference treaties is expected to fol-
low with greater rapidity, although
considerable debate is in prospect
on the pact providing for the naval
holiday.

other victory yesterday when the
Senate voted down an. amendment

showed virtually the same align

previous day. Pittman's reserva-

provide for a general international
conference in event of meeting
under the terms of the four-power
treaty.
Opposed by Underwood.
The amendment was opposed by
Senator Underwood. the Democratic
leader. 1t would, he argued, delay
and endanger the treaty, and was
not of sufficient Importance for this
risk.
Senator Johnson, irrecencilabIe
Republican of California. again sub
mitted a reservation originally pro-
posed by Senator Brandegee before
the Foreign Relations Committee.
This reservation declares the United
States is not legally or morally OBJ
ligated under the terms of the
treaty to employ force, and that the
consent of Congress is necessary to
bind this government to any agree
ment reached among the powers.
A reservation offered by Senator
Shields, Democrat of Tennessee,
stipulates that the United States in
