URGES A LICENSE
Watson Asks Regulations for
Engineers of Kansas.
Takes Steps to Prevent Disaster
in Buildings.

The Knickerbocker theater disaster
in Washington, following the collapse
OF the partly constructed Masonic
temple at Salina, kan, several months
ago. emphasizes the need for state
licensing of engineers. in the opinion
of NJ. ". Watson, state highway engi-
neer.
The Kansas Engineering society and
the Kansas division of the American
Society of Civil Engineers Will push
a measure in the next legislature re-
curing all engineers to pass an exam
ination and obtain q license before
practicing. Such a measure was de-
feated at the 1921 session.
Very properly we require that
man prove his qualifications before he
is allowed to pull a tooth or act as the
family physician, but we are SEEM
ingly willing to entrust the lives of
hundreds of people and valuable prop
erty to the hands of So-calIed engi-
neers who may or may not be quail
fled for the work. said Watson.
Due to Faulty Construction.
THE reports of consulting engineers
show conclusively that the collapse of
the Knickerbocker theater and of the
Masonic temple frame work at Salina
were due to faulty design and con-
struction. If the SaIina temple had
been completed, it would undoubtedly
have collapsed sooner or later, per-
haps when crowded with people, caus-
ing a tragedy far worse than the one
at Washington. As it was. the property
loss at Salina was estimated at
$500, 600.
Under present conditions any one
may put out his single as an archi-
tect or as an engineer and the general
public has no way of knowing whether
they are qualified or not Bridges
may be BUILT only to fall with a little
extra strain, or sewer systems may be
constructed SO faulty as to endanger
the health of the entire community.
There can be no valid objection to
a licensing law since the fees would
easily pay the expenses of the examin-
ing board"

LANDSLIDE FOR
POISON GAS AND
NAVAL TREATY
Only Vote, by Senator France,
Against Reducing Naval
ArmamentS.
FAR EASTERN AND
CHINESE TREATY UP
Leaders Expect Both Remaining
Covenants to Be Approved
During the Week.
(Ry The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The
two arms conference treaties limiting
the navies Of the great powers, and
restricting the use of submarines and
poison gas were ratified in landslide
Of appreciation today by the senate.
To the naval limitation covenant,
declaring a naval building holiday and
fixing a ratio Of capital ship strength
for the United States, Great Britain,
Japan, France and Italy, the senate
gave it's final assent by a vote of IA
to 1, and then almost without debate
1t accepted II to the pact designed
to prevent submarine operations
against merchantmen and to outlaw
chemical warfare altogether.
One obiector.
The only negative vote was cast
against the naval treaty by Senator
France, republican, Maryland, who
said he regarded naval reduction as a
dangerous expedient under present
world conditions. Every other mem
ber of the "irreconcilabIe" bloc who
was present cast vote IN the affirm
ative, although Senator Borah, repub-
ican, Idaho, told the senate he re-
garded the treaty only as a beginning,
and Senator Johnson, republican, Cal
ifornia, declared he accepted the forti-
fications status quo" provisions for
the Pacific with grave misgivings."
a speech assailing the poison gas
articles of the submarine and gas
treaty was made on the senate floor
bys- Senator Wadsworth, republican,
New York, chairn1s n of the military
committee, but before the ratification
roll call he left the chamber and did
not vote. The New York senator
argued that chemical warfare had not
proved actually more brutal than
other accepted methods of destruction
and expressed a fear that the treaty
pledges would be violated in any
emergency.
Last Treaties.
Debate on the general far eastern
treaty will begin tomorrow with op-
position by senators who believe that
China's interests are not sufficiently
protected. It is the hope of the lead
ers, however, that both this pact and
the Chinese tariff treaty, the last re-
manning covenant of the conference,
will be ratified during the present
week.
