HITCHCOCK RESOLUTION
STARTS INVESTIGATION
Nebraska Senator's Move May Cut
Short the Vacation Of Sec
rotary Hughes.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Secretary
Hughes may be required TO cut short
his vacation trip 10 Bermuda and re-
turn here to disclose TO the senate
foreign relations committee what TOOK
place In the secret meetings of the
big four" when the four-power treaty
was drafted.
President Harding himself. II Is
stated. would like 10 be Informed as
to what occurred az these meetings,
no record of the negotiations having
been given to him by Hughes before
he sailed.
This Is the outstanding development
OF the senate's demand for the secret
meetings which was Incorporated in
the Hitchcock resolution asking the
President TO send the record Of the
four-power parleys to the foreign re-
lations committee.
The President Informed Senator
Lodge. who called at the White House.
that he has no record of the meetings
that Hughes alone knows what took
place IN those midnight meetings In
downtown hotel room when he,
representing the United States Bal
four. for England. Shldehera for ia
pan. aud Viviani, for France. agreed
upon the terms of the treaty TO de-
strOy Americas right OF independent
action IN the Pacific.
The amazing pauclty of information
regarding the negotiations of the
treaty is illustrated by the fact that
Senator Lodge told the foreign rela-
ions committee In session Thursday
that there were number of pro-
visional drafts Of the treaty, one be-
ing submitted by Great Britain, one
by japan. and one by himself. Yet,
in spite of this statement. Senator
Underwood, another member of the
delegation, stated in the senate n few
minutes later that so far as he knew
only one draft was considered.

BRASS SALT SHAKER
VAS IN NESS KIT IN
REVOLUTIONARY VAR

To most people a salt shaker is just
a salt shaker. 1t is something that YOU
buy at the store to hold salt and when
worn out i: is thrown away. But Miss
Mary l.. klinsner. the supervisor of do
mestic science at the University High
School, has salt shaker that cannot
be matched in any store and perhaps
cant be matched al all.
This one is made out of brass and is
the only piece left from the mess kit that
Miss klingners great-great-grandfather
carried with him during the eiglr years
Fdf the Revolutionary War. Salt box is
really the name for it although it resem-
bles small stein more than anything
else. Ii is about iwO and a half inches
tall and has high round top. Unlike
the salt shakers of today this one has 4
flat handle on it.
There were several pewter plates and
a pewter cup in the kit,' said Miss Kim
gner, ''and although was only a small
child when ! saw them last | remember
them very distinctly. The cup looked
like a tin one. And | remember the
chest that my grandfather keP them in
but | don't remember the kit itself. AT
grandfather's death the kit was inherited
by an uncle Of mine but after his death.
his family did not appreciate these things
for the sentiment with them and all but
the salt box were destroyed. The plates
were used to hold water for the chickens.
When my father had to make speech
at the unveiling of ID. A. r. monumen.
and he got the salt box so that he could
show something that had really been
through the war. ! managed to get hold
of i: after iha, and I'm going to keep it,
she finished with smile.
