 Three Classifying Division The bill would abolish all existing naval or marine corps reserve and establish a naval reserve as a com" Donent part of the navy, consisting of three classes, the fleet resere, the merchant marine naval reserve ana the volunteer naval reserve. A sep arate section provides for reorgan- ization of the present marine corps reserve in conformity with the new plan. It would have two classes corresponding to the fleet reserve and the volunteer reserve Of the naval establishment.
 All present members of the vari- ous classes of naval reservists, both officers and men, and the naval mili- tia would be brought into the new system, officers not to be above the rank of lieutenant commander except for "a small percentage in the rank of commander or captain flor re- cruiting organization, adminlStra- ton, training, inspection and mob1n- zation of the naval reserve.

Senate Opens reaty Fight

Washington, March "A prolong- ed debate was in prospect when the Senate opened discussion today on the four power Pacific treaty, regarded as he p1Voted agreement of the arms conference series. The treaty was called up late yesterday immediately after the Senate had ratified without reservation the Yap treaty with Ja- pan by vote of CT to 22 in which the 32 Democrats present divided 13 for ratification and 19 against, while only three Republicans voted in the negative.
 The significance of that vote with regard to the four power and other treaties awaiting Senate action was a question on which the leaders of the various Senate elements today dis agreed The Administration manag- few'' of the votes they commanded yesterday in the subsequent natiffea- tion roll calls while the 'irreconcil- ables" predicted that the lineup on the four power treaty would show at least seven and probably more who voted for the Yap treaty or were absent, voting against it.

Decision Is Put
 Off A Few Weeks

Washington, March 2-Indications now are that final decision on the question of American valuation by
 Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee may be postpon-. ed until action has been taken tenta- lively on all rates of duty. It is the expectation that two or three weeks time will elapse if this program is adhered to. 7
 The House Ways and Means Com nlittee originally decided on ad va lorem rates on the foreign valuation basis and then with the aid of eX- ports converted them to the Ameri- can valuation basis by means of a mathematician formula. It is said that regardless of the basis of valu- aion the conversion process will be a simple matter after the bill is completed.
 Senator Smoot of Utah, who last week admitted that the trend of sen- tlment was in favor of the adoption or the American selling price of the imported article as the basis of valu- atlon, said that he believed that uIti- mateIy his own plan of retaining the foreign valuation plan with authority to the President to proclaim Ameri- can valuation, would be adopted He said he believed that after going through all the schedules the Sena- tors would be convinced that this scneme was more feasible than the other.
 The situation remains uncertain. most of the test votes in the commit lee having been five to four with the majority sometimes leaning toward one scheme and sometimes toward the other. Until the bill Is actually re5 ported to the Senate it is likely that th!S element of uncertainty will pre- vail relative to the valuation basis
 Senator F'reiinghuysen of New J Jea'- sey introduced a bill in the Senate placing the Tariff Commission under the control of the Department of n n d :I~n fS,,rr sion to make special Investigations to ascertain the conversion cost of arti- cles manufactured or produced in the United States and in competing coun- tries.
 The conversion cost is defined. as "the cost of manufa curing or pro- ducing such article including labor. overhead, interest, insurance and transportation.''

Hold Man Who Cut Throat And
 Shot His Wife
John Patrick At Point Of Death In Bridgeport Hospital After Violent Assault.

After shooting his wife and slashing his own throat in a jealous rage, John Patrick, 66, of 72 News avenue, lies at the point of death in the Bridgeport hospital. His wife, Julia, is in the same institution in a. serious condi- ton with a bullet wound in the up- Der part of her right arm. She is also suffering from hysteria as the result of her narrow escape from death.
 When Mrs. Patrick returned from Ash Wednesday service last night her husband inquired where she had been. She replied she was attending services in her church. He grew violently angry and implied that she was con- ceaHng the truth.
 She turned her back to prepare a light luncheon when she heard the roar of gun. She felt the. pain of a bullet entering her right arm and rushed to the back door. to escape from her frsnzied husband.
 The door was locked and she turn ed and faced her husband who stood with the gun in his hand. A second shot at her went wild. and the wife managed to escape to the home of a friend on Standard avenue.
 The Emergency ambulance was summoned and pr. A. B. Margulis and Driver Patrick Cornell respond ed. Dr. Margulis remained in care of Mrs. Patrick while Cornell ran across lots to her home. In the meantime, the police were notified. They arrived at the Patrick home at the same time as Cornell.
 As they crept up the stairs a dog parked and Patrick, who had not left the kitchen, cried out through the locked door:
 ''If you come here I will shoot you"
 Several other officers had arrived by this time. They decided to break down the door and found Patrick on the floor with his throat cut from ear to ear, lying in a pool of blood. The police patrol took Patrick to the hspita1.
 In the City court today, Patrick was charged with intent to kill and attempted suicide. His case was continued for two weeks under S3,OOO bonds. Patrick is under police guard at the hospital.

Australian Unions
 Discover Panacea
 For Worlds Ills

Sydney, N. s. w., March 2-The Council of Action, consisting of 13 delegates appointed by the Melbourne 'All-Australian Trades Union Con- gress,' has just decided how all wars may be prevented.
 The solution lies in the converting of a Pan-Pacific Congress of dele gates from labor organizations throughout the world, with a view of arriving at an understanding to pre- vent war. The following motion was adopted:
 'We do not believe that the Wash ington conference is likely to evolve any scheme of value for the preven- tion of any future wars. Further, we believe that the best way to prevent wars will be for the Australian work CTS to arrive at an understanding with labor organizations in other countries and we are of the opinion that an endeavor should be made to bring about a Pan-Pacific conference as early as practicable
 It was decided further that an other meeting of the AustraIasian Trades Union Congress should be held next June and that in the meantime the Council of Action should endeavor to progress with the industrial or ganfzation and the establishment of a labor research and information bureau.

France Backs Brussels in De-
mand for Enforcement of
Terms.

Paris, Sept. 12.-(By the Associated
Press Formal demand was made on
Germany Tuesday night by the Belgian
government for a deposit of 100000,
900 gold marks in the National Bank
of Brussels, but the demand is 80
worded as opermit reply by Ger
many and further negotiations.
Although September Is is the date
fixed for the delivery of the gold, 1t is
highly improbable that a definite deci-
sion in the new reparations tangle viii
be reached before next week. In the
meantime, the members of the COM
mission are working for the inevitable
compromise.
France is firmly behind the Brussels
government in demanding strict en-
forcement of the terms of the recent
reparations decisions, and strong rep
resentations from the French premier
NJ. Poincare, are believed to have been
largely responsible for the withdrawal
of the Belgian delegation from Berlin
and Tuesday nights request for gold
Great Britain favors acceptance OF
the German proposals for the exten-
sion of the six months moratorium to
ia months. Under this scheme, Ger
many, with the reichsbank's guaran-
tee, would pay the 27O,OO0,OO0 gold
marks due this year in three install
ments, In 6, II and Is months. The
compromise terms call for the payment
of this amount in six months.
The new Belgian action is regarded
more as a diplomatic move than any
thing else, as the government favors
acceptance of the German PROPOSE
ton in a modified form.
