UNDERWOOD DEFENDS 1T

Washington, March 1.-THE four
power pact treaty Is the "real treaty
of peace" of the arms conference,
Senator Underwood told the senate to-
Gay He said he would vote for ratifi-
cation in he same spirit in which he
supported the Versailles treaty and
the league Of nations.
The real issue, he said, was whether
the United States was ready to back
a peace by mutual understanding"
or desires to continue "the oppor-
tunity for war which has threatened
us the last two decades"
ROBINSON 1AssAlLs PACT.
Washington, Marcl II. - Pressing
their attack on the manner IN which
the four-power Pacific treaty was ne.
gotiated, the treaty's opponents de-
clared on the senate floor yesterday
that the American delegation to the
arms conference not only concealed
knowledge of the negotiations from
the public but was responsible for the
dissemination Of misleading reports
concerning them.
AT the time when announcement of
the treaty's conclusion was "immi-
nent' Secretary Robinson, Democrat,
of Arkansas, told newspaper CORE.
spondents that he had no knowledge OF
any such project. As a result the Ar
kansas senator declared, the press not
only was inaccurately informed but
correspondents assigned to the con-
ference suffered professionally be-
cause they placed reliance on what
Mr.. Hughes told them.
That the secretary Of state had
made such denials was characterized
by Senator Lodge, Republican, Massa-
chusetts, another member of the Amer
ican delegation "as inconceivable.
Mr. Lodge declared that the project
for a Pacific concord had been dis
cussed by him with Mr.. Hughes be-
fore the conference began.

Poli Review

Seven classic dancers headed by La Bernicia are the headliners at Poli's this week. This act is a magnificent offering complete in every detail, good taste of staging and coStuming and directing of the sort that makes suc- cessful vaudeville acts.
 Toto Hamme opened the program and with his clever female assistant in novel act entitled Woodland Echoes" made a great hit. His con- ception of a frog was fine and the female assistant was nearly as Timber as Hammer when it came to gym nastics.
 Leon vavara in an act entitled "The Evolution of a Pianist was real en- tertaining and good. The piano play ing of Vavara classed as the finest in the city in a great while.
 The comedy portion ofsthe bill fell to the lot of Sadie and RobIes, who offered ''The Laugh That Makes You Laugh" They carried on their com edy in first class style and with their fiery line of chatter they took down the house.
 Adams and Morin who gave a series of delightful bits from musical shows we'll known and popular were equally as good as the headliner. Their act was very entertaining and pleas ing.
 The extra attraction, a comedy sen- titled Rapid Fire and Agnes Ayres featured lately in "The Sheik' is pie tured in the ordeal. This picture is of the highest calibre and is full of varied exciting episodes.

Bulgaria Would Welcome Capitol
 From America

Sofia, Bulgaria, Aug. S.-Bu1garia's mines, forests, rivers and railroads offer excellent opportunities for en- terprising Americans, in the opinion of King Boris, and the popular young monarch is anxious to have American business men and capitalists come to Sofia to look over the field. We will give them every advantage and op- portunity to invest their money in profitable enterprises the King said recently to the correspondent. 'We would prefer to deal with American than anyone else. We like them for their honesty, their quickness, their originality and resource. They may be assured of the most cordial well come here"
 Bulgaria ia may be said conserva- lively, is making a really remarkable recovery from the effects of the war. The Bulgaria population today has food, clothing, good health, shelter, money and the other clements of ma teriaI contentment, and for this the principal reason is the labor of the masses, their sobriety, energy and thrift. and their satisfaction with liv- ing conditions. The work of the Vol unteer Labor Army is another cause.
 Bulgaria is a nation of peasants. More than four-f1fths of her popula- tion of 5,oO,000 work on the land.

k0 LOWS KILLING
 STIRS CHINATOWN
 TO FEVERISH POINT

New Yorlk.Aug. S-Chinatown today seethed with rumor and sudden per iods of panic among it's Oriental pop ulation while the body of Ko Low, national president of the Hip Sings, lay in state in the Tong's headquar- ters in Pell street. Ko Low died early today after Chinese gunmen toppled him into the gutter with a. bullet in his back as he left a Chinese restaurant within the bounds of Hip Sing territory. The usual throngs in the Chinese quarter were absent today. There were those, however. who loitered in doorways, peering in tently out, in quest of strange Orien- tai faces, for the slayers of the pow erful Tong chieftain were declared to have been strangers in the Chinese section populated by the Chinese.
 The police, who flood the quarter, scout reports that Kos LowS murder mean a reopening of the wars of the
 past that swept Chinatown, leaving
 dozens of Tongmen dead along the boundary line that once separated On Sing and Hing Kong Tongs.
 The Chinese never talk about their affairs with the Caucasians. Espec- iaIly are they reticent when question ed by police officials and the police
 have little to work on in trying to trace the slayers of Ko Low.
 Hip Sing officials sat with faces as expressionless as those of waxen inn ages in their lodge rooms. They said | little, though much. while their men combed the city seeking the identity l of their high chiefs slayers.
 ] said Lee Yee Hing, state president o1
 the Hip Sing Tong. When we find out who the killers are, then we will know how to act and what to do."

COMPOSER GETS
 THEME FROM
 NOTES OF THRUSH
Mrs. Beach Notates Bird Songs and Amuses Her self By Initiating Them on Piano.

Singing birds may in time come to outrival folk songs in furnishing composers with musical themes for their works, judged by the experience of Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, American woman composer, while composing in the Mcdowell woods at Peterbor- ough, N. H. Mrs. Beach, confirming g this statement, told friend the other day that such arranging of hermit k hrush songs in two piano pieces had been a great joy to her.
 My studio at Peterborough said
 Mrs. Beach, was surrounded on three sides by beautiful birch trees, the front facing a wide view of valley and mountains. In the deep woods nearby the hermit thrushes sang all day long, so close to me that I could
 notate their songs and even amuse
 myself by initiating them on the piano and having them answer!
 ''The songs," Mrs. Beach went on
 to say, "were very lovely and so con- sonant with our scales that I could
 weave them into piano pieces as cas- fly as I could have used folk songs
 It was a labor of love, indeed, and ] only hope that I have succeeded in giving at least a slight impression ot | their exquisite rhythms and melodio beauty

NEGROES USE DYNAMITE
 TO SETTLE A DISPUTE

Birmingham. Ala, Aug. s-Since time began men have been prone to settle their disputes by resort to weapons. The stone hammer was superseded by the flint jave1in; the bow and arrow put this out of busi- ness. In a more modern day the musket appeared; then the high-pow- cred rifle, poison gas and other 1nVen- tions of "civilization.' But it re- mained for Will Jackson and Herbert Meadows, negro prisoners, serving a prison sentence at Banner Mines, near here, to bring into use a unique weapon.
 Jackson, it is claimed, ignited the fuse of a stick of dynamite with the announced intention of blowing Meadows to kingdom come" The present earthly kingdom, though. seemed to suit Meadows, and he inn mediately grappled with Jackson: In the struggle which ensued Jackson was thrown to the ground on top Of the stick of dynamite. When 1t ex- nIoded a moment later Jackson was instantly killed his body being badly mangled while Meadows, as sou venir of the encounter, is minus one arm. . o,
 The coroner in the inquest over Jackson's body pronounced it a case of iustifiabIe homicide.
 Which merely goes to prove tnat dynamite is dangerous-and wonder fully effective.

.FISKE O'HARA SCORES SUCCESS
 IN NEW PLAY

With a splendid cast of assisting artists. Fiske O'Hara successfully presented his newest vehicle Hand O'RomanceS at the Park theatre last night. Upon his first appearance this old fayorite was greeted with loud applause and the enthusiasm of his audience increased after each of his selections.
 The theme of the play was unique with Michael Sheridan. portarit painter, (Fiske O'Hara). and the lit tie pickpocket waif, (Miss Pat Clary), whom he found starving on the street.
 The scene of 'The Land oRo- mance'' was laid in Ireland, and the
 play consisted of three acts the first two of which took place in the studio of Michael Sheridan and the third in a corner of the garden around
 his house.
 Last evenings performance was the second presentation of this new play. Seldom do actors in so young a ve- hicle portray so wildly the heart and soul of the characters. Fiske 'O'Hara the part of Sheridan and in the very first act stormed the hearts of his audience. He was ably assisted by
 Miss Clary who was delightfully."- real of the street, and as the girl who had grown lovely through her refined environments.
 Even without such a fine play
 Fiske O'Hara would have been we'll received with his group of new
 songs. Several times during the play he sank his beautiful new ballad
 Land O'Romance," and after the finale sent his audience away hum
 ming it's captivating air. He was forced to respond to five encores for his second number, Broth of Boy!'' His other selections inc1ud- ed Father O'FNynn,'' Thank God for a. Garden" and Three Wishes"
