Washington, February 28.-By a vote of five to four, the directors of the Lee Highway association today, at their annual meeting, selected what is known as the Muscle Shoals route between Memphis and Chatta- nooga, as the most suitable con- meeting link in the transcontinental highway that will eventually extend from Washington to California.
 The selection of this route. came. it was said, after several ballots had been taken.

 The proposed routes were consid- cred, the Muscle Shoals and what was known as the all-Tennessse. After final vote was taken the state ment was made on behalf of the highway officials that they felt they should, in addition to other consid- erations consider the future in mak ing their decision. Construction work on every gap between here and the Pacific coast will be begun. it was announced, in the early spring with view to an early completion of the great memorial to General Robert E.. Lee. Those who supported the Mus cle Shoals route included. J. Fred Johnson. IT,, of Florence, Aka, Rep resentative Edward B. Almon, of Alabama, W. M. Cameron of South Pittsburg, Tenn, Nj. T. Sharp of Corinth, Miss. secretary of the Mus cle Shoals Highway association and Lawrence Cooper of Huntsville, Ala.
 Those urging the all-Tennessse route included Representative Edwin L. Davis, of Tullahoma, Tenn, NJ. W. House of Nashville, chairman of the Tennessee Highway commission. and W. F. Moore. also of the Tennessee Highway commission.
 Spokesmen from the Muscle Shoals route told the Lee Highway associa- ton that this route was sixty miles shorter between Memphis and Chat tanooga, than the all-Tennessee route. that it served the people of three states, touched the great Mus issue of S25,000,O00 was available with which to start immediate work.
 The Ali-Tennessee spokesmen urged that their route would serve larger populatio ns than the Mns -le astAszs-..sas 'rstf4p4 4ais l k fHs'sssZt | srf wealth. that the state highway com. mission was greatly interested in the development of the Lee highway and that the selection of the route as advocated by them would enable pos sibiy a speedy and at the same time, great bond issue which would be Of inestimable benefit to all concerned.

COMMITTEE UNABLE ID REACH DECISION ON SOLDIER BONUS
Nothing to Be Given Out, Says Chairman Fordney,
 Following Fruitless
 Three-Hour Session
Ny Aseoekate,l Rreaa

Washington. February 2S.-House ways and means committee repub- iieans spent three hours today trying to reconcile their differences over the soldiers bonus. but without success. After they had adjourned until to- morrow, Chairman Fordney an- nounced that he had been authorized to say that the committee has arr rived at no conclusion"
 There Is nothing to be given to tho newspapers today" he added
 It was understood that there was q general discussion of the whole question of finances, acromonious at times. and at the finish the situation was just where it was before the spe- cial subcommittee tentatively agreed upon special tax program which subsequently was disapproved by President Harding.
 Some committeeman were hopeful that there would be some kind of conclusion tomorrow. It was said that the possibilities included a post ponement of the whole question for month in the belief that the delay would serve to clear the atmosphere. but several members were understood to look upon such program with di sfavor.
 Real Stumbling Block
 The discussion today was reported to have revolyed largely around the proposition to write into the bill some kind of a financing provision that would meet the Presidents views at least half way. The sales tax sug- gested by the President and rejected by the special subcommittee last week by an overwhelming vote was not pressed particularly, 1t was said, and the impression went out that someAnae mbers had in mind a special tar p}eBram.

SENATE REFUSES ID AMEND PACT
 WITH JAP PANESE
Two Republicans Support and Four Democrats Oppose Proposed Amendment
 to Jap Treaty
By Associated Press

Washington, February 2S.-Divid- ing virtually on party lines the sen ate refused to amend the Tap treaty today in the first test of strength on any question affecting the interna- tional covenants negotiated during the Washington conference. The vote was 50 to q.
 Only two repubiicAns Borah of Idaho and France of Maryland. sup ported the proposal and only four democrats, Underwood of Alabama. Pomerene of Ohio, Williams of Mis- sissippi and Myer of Montana, voted against it. It had been offered by Senator Pittman. democrat. Nevada, and would have amplified the provi- sion that existing treaty rights of the United States shall apply to the mandated islands of the Pacific.
 Later, by a vote of 51 to Il. the senate also rejected proposed amendment by Senator France to pre- vent Manufacture or export of in- toxfoatinr liquor On the mandated islands. Eight dszaocrats joined this time with the republicans, while not a single other senator of his own party cast his vote with Mir. France.
 Senators differed over the signifi- cance of the two roll calls as they bear on the general situation of the arms conference treaties but the sem ate leaders declared the result had been to strength then their expectation that all the covenants would be rati- fled by safe margins even though there might be a considerable opposi- tion on the democratic side.
 Reservation Offered
 Just before adjournment another amendment was presented by Sena- tor Pfttman stipulating that under the treaty the United States should be sole judge whether Japan is main taining sufficient wireless facilities on Tap Island or whether the Ameri~ can right to install a wireless station there should be exercised. This and other reservations are expected to fgrra ts.tvc.r tnfscr-ow ard ssss .ses Ta &Ereemcnt reached yesterday a roll call is to be taken Thursday
 During today's debate further at tacks were made on the treaty by Senators France. Pittman. Borah and Reed. Mir. Reed again charged that the republican leaders were attempt ing to force" senate action before the country could realize what the agreements really embody. The on- slaught passed virtually without reply from the treaty's supporters.
