HARDING DENIES
INF FORMATION ON
PACIFIC TREATY
No Records of the Negotia-
tiOns Were Kept, Senate
is Told; Incident Is Closed
1t Is Believed.
tBy The Associated rress.)

Washington. Feb. 20.-President
Harding informed the senate today
he could not comply with it's re-
quest for records Of the four
power pacific treaty negotiations
because no such records ever ex-
listed, and because he considered it
incompatible with the public in
terest to reveal "informal and con-
fidentiap conversations.
The presidents five-sentence re-
ply to the resolution of inquiry
sent to the White House last week
was accepted by those in charge OF
the treaty at the capitol as closing
the incident, although at the same
time it aroused increased dissatis-
faction among senators who insti-
gated the move for more complete
information. A proposal to call
Secretary Hughes before the for
eign relations committee was re-
vived momentarily but without any
immediate prospect OF success.
Meantime the committee took its
first formal action on any Of the
international agreements negotiat-
ed during the arms conference by
reporting favorably the Japanese
American treaty by which the Uni
ted States is accorded cable and
wireless rights on the Pacific Is
land of Yap. The committee lead
ers later made known their pur-
pose to press the treaty toward
vote on the senate floor, indicating
that debate on it might begin at
tomorrow's session.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Hun-
dreds of aliens are being ille-
gally 'bootlegged" into the
United States, Secretary Davis
declared today on leaving the
White House after a confer
ence with the president. The
secretary, who declined to
state VIVA, the subject of his
conference with the president
was, declared that the enact
ment of a law requiring all
aliens to register was the only
solution of the situation.
Bootleggers, the secretary
said, were finding it more prof
table to bring in immigrants
who are banned by law than to
handle liquor. Such illegal
entries, he added, were being
made from the Bahamas and
Cuba into Florida, across the
Mexican border and from Cam
ada.
There are from 5000 to 25,-
600 undesirable aliens in the
country who should be deport-
ed, the secretary continued, be-
cause of penitentiary senten-
ces, diseases they have con-

Of BUT A WEEK
Former United States Sen
ator and Twice Governor
of Colorado Passes Away
at the AGE of 81.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 2O.-JOhn f.
Shafroth, former United States sen-
ator from Colorado. and twice gov
ernor OF this state, died here this
afternoon. He was 81 years old.
He had been ill about a week.
Senator Shafroth was a democrat.
After having served in the ma
tional house of representatives,
Shafroth was elected governor of
Colorado in 1908 and reelected In
1910. He was chosen United States
senator in 1912. but was defeated
in 1918 by Lawrence Philips. re-
publican.
Shafroth began his political life
as a republican. FIe went to con-
gress as a republican in 1896. after
having been chosen city attorney
of Denver.
In 1896. however. shafroth de-
serted the orthodox republican
party and aligned himself with the
silver element and three times that
wing Of the party returned him TO
congress.
In 1904. one of the most dramat-
ic incidents of Shafroth's political
career occurred when he made the
race for congress for the fifth
eighth session as a democrat His
opponent was Robert w. Bonynge,
republican.
on the face of returns Shafroth
was declared the winner. Bonynge,
however, charged fraud in the
counting of ballots. Prompted by
his desire to hold office without
criticism, Shafroth instituted an in
vestigatlon of his own. which sub
stantiated the charges. In one of
the most remarkable speeches of
its kind ever delivered in the ma
tional house of representatives,
Shafroth resigned from that body.
In the fall of 1921, the Senator
and Mrs. Shafroth made an extend

Balfour Is Modest.
With the modesty which charac-
terized and popularized his efforts
at Washington, Mr. Balfour, in re-
spending, said that in all the years
of his career, he had never attend
ed an occasion so moving and so
difficult to do justice to as this
welcome. Though for the moment
he appeared in the forefront of the
picture he pointed out that the
part Of any individual was but
small matter in dealing with issues
so great as were handled at Wash

Balfour declared. was Of unmixed
benefit to mankind. One or two
things, he hoped. had been accom-
plished, but the greatest satisfac-
tion was that nothing had been

agree with the only suggestion of
criticism Of the conference he had
heard--that the results were mimi

"The league could not have done
what Washington did" he ex-I
claimed emphatically amid cheers.
"The world is In such condition
that all machinery and every in
strument upon which we can, lay
our hands are needed to raise 1t to

Neither could Washington ac-
complish, in his opinion. the work
of the league. for which other ma
chinery had not yet been discov-
cred.

Concluding. Mr.. Balfour said:
"The representatives of the nine
powers represented look back on

with unmixed satisfaction. Every
one has gained by these labors; no
representative will return TO his
homeland unable to claim that ''e

COME FERENCE ON
VAL LUATION PLAN
IN TARIFF BILL
Differences Between House
and Senate Committee
men Are Aired But No
Agreement Is Arrived AT.
lRy The AssocIated Press.l

Washington, Feb. 20.-Differ-
ences between republicans of the
senate finance committee and the
house ways and means committee
over tariff valuation principles
were aired today at a three hours
secret conference vithout any con-
crete result. N side tonight
appeared hor an early
agreement.
The housf -. teemen, repre-
sentatives/ I ( $&'/y Longworth,

by tH s +. held out strongly at

I n the senate committeeman,
', i undertaking to rewrite the
hon., measure, long ago aband-
oned that principle.
The conference was asked for
by the senate committee majority,
following the declaration Saturday
of Mr. Fordney that il the senate
sent back to the house a bill car
rying foreign valuation basis as
tentatively agreed upon by senate
committee republicans, the ways
and means committee would re-
write the measure on the basis of
the American valuation principle
and the house would return that to
the senate.
Chairman McCumber said il was
desirable to bring about an agree
ment between the two committees
if possible before the bill was re-
ported to the senate, as time prob
ably would be saved in that way
1t was explained that any change
in the valuation principle under
lying the bill would involve a re-
casting of most Of the ad valorem
rates or a rewriting of a great part
of the whole measure.
The discussion behind closed
doors of the senate committee
room was said to have been heated
at times today, but many OF those
in attendance thought that the
frank discussion would serve to
clear the atmosphere and pave tile
way for some kind of a compro-
mise. Just now, however, senator's
and representatives are so far
apart on the question that specific
plan has not been So
riously considered.
None of those interested was
to say how long inter-
committee conferences would delay
the completion of the tariff. but it
was practically certain that the
measure would not be ready for
the senate before next month.

HAYNES DECLINES TO
COMMENT ON NEW PLANS

Washington. Feb. 20.--Prohibi-
ton headquarters awaited the
night reports from Florida of what
was said to be the first dry law
air raid at sea with the inaugura-
tion Of land, water and air war
fare against rum smugglers along
the southern coast.
Commissioner Haynes said he
had not as yet received a report
from Miami Of the seizure of the
British schooner Annabelle with a
cargo Of liquor off Jewish creek
by airplanes Of the prohibition
forces, but added that advices of
the squadron's initial flight might
reach headquarters tomorrow.
Mr.. Haynes and other high pro-
hibition officials were reticent
concerning the mobilization of air
forces to combat liquor runners,
indicating that they would prefer
to discuss the new plans when they
know that the machinery for the
concentrated campaign was work
ing smoothly.
1t was learned, however. that
prohibition headquarters had been
quietly preparing for some time to
bring to bear simultaneously air
planes, sub-chasers and reinforced
land forces in Florida upon tho
Illegal liquor craft said to be in
Testing southern waters.
With airplanes as swift raiders
to swOop down on runners stealing
toward the coast the prohibition
authorities were understood to
plan a patrol of sub-chasers from
Maine to Key West which could
spot the blockade runners and
either relay reports Of their loca-
ton to the planes or make seizures
themselves,
Many intricate questions of in
ternational law may arise from
the use of airplanes and submarine

rights Of the nationals involved in
the boarding of ships at sea. How-
ever, II is understood Commission
er Haynes has gone thoroughly
into the various legal phases of the
problem before putting his COM
bined forces into action.
1t was not known here tonight
just what circumstances had sur
rounded the seizure Of the Anna
belle, which is said to be under
British registry Seizure of a for
eign vessel outside the three-mile
limit might result in international
complications if the foreign gov
ernment was disposed to make rep
reservations to the state DEPART
ment, it was said. On the other
hand. several vessels Of apparent
foreign registry seized with car
goes OF liquor in the past few
months, have been found to be
American owned.

Not Qualified to Prepare
a Treaty for the Limiting
of Armaments.

Paris, Feb. 20 (by the Associated
Press) The disarmament COM
mission of the league of nations
decided today it was unqualified to
prepare a general treaty for the
reduction or limitation of arma-
ments, as requested by the last
meeting of the assembly of the
league. The commission decided,
however, to proceed with the elab-
Grafton of general plan of reduc-
ton of armament. in accordance
with the resolution of the assembly.
The committee met in the Lux
embourg palace under the presi-
dency Of former Premier Viviani
to prepare for it's work in accord
ance with the assembly's resolu-
ton, which, besides a general plan
of a treaty on the limitation OF
ornaments, asked the commission
to consider the question of prohib-
iting the use of poisonous gases
and prepare for an international
conference on the control of pri-
vate manufacture and trade or
arms. NJ. Viviani declared in a
short address in which he briefly
summarized the work of the wash
ington conference and pointed out
how the results obtained there
might be supplemented by the
league of nations.
Count Donin-Longare, Itailan
to France, headed the
Italian delegation in the absence OF
Carlo Schanzer. and Lord Esher re-
placed II. A. L. Fisher for Great
Britain, M. Matsuda representing

ing France and M. J. Oudegeest
representing Holland, We're the
principal representatives of labor
at today's meeting.

the council of the league to en-
large the leagues membership by
representatives from Switz-
erland, Spain, Poland and one
South American state. Sub-com-
were appointed for the col
lection of statistics necessary. for
final conclusions with regard to
private manufacture of arms.
A resolution was adopted re-
questing the league council to send
circulars to all governments ask
ing them to set forth considerations
which they deemed necessary con-
cerning their armament REQUIRE
ments for purely national defense,
obligations and geo
graphical and other special condi-
tions creating exceptional needs
and to indicate separately what po-
lice or other forces were consid-
cred necessary for the maintenance
of order in their respective nte-
riors.
