No further kidnapings had been re-

the imperial government was hopeful
of the Immediate release of the caS-

Hearings to be Public.
So far there has been no move for
public hearings by the committee, but
the senate leaders propose to open the
senate doors when the covenants ar.
under debate. 1t is probable that dis

the end of another week.
Prompt action was requested by the
president, because, he said, it would
be impossible to shape the naval pol

known whether the naval treaty is to
become the accepted covenant of the
nation. Until the whole Series is rat

Harding predicted that the Chinese

Republican and Democratic sides OF
the senate. He pounded the desk and

he declared the treaty contains no

should his proposed contract for their

attending hearings on the Ford offer
believed that such a delay was appar-

Questions were raised at the hear

some with experience in legal matters
thought would necessarily have to be
solved by the courts, irrespective Of
congressional action, unless the Ford
offer was rejected. These involved
the delav of clear titles to Ford, Of

ed with the Muscle Shoals project,
but which are located on lands pri-
vately owned, and whose owners
claim they have legal options for the
purchase of the buildings which thev
intend to exercise. 'rt.a, So -.
Some committee members, after
hearing the testimony of Colonel John
Hull, acting judge advocate general
of the army. thought that the govern
ment would be compelled to institute
condemnation proceedings before it
could obtain the necessary titles to
the land for Ford, and in doing this,
meet the owners who would perhaps
test their rights in the courts
Colonel Hull said it was his opinion
that the contractual obligations were
''non-enforcible" and null and void"
and could not be successfully present

whom claim optional privileges and
