Washington, March .14.--Secretary
Hughest statement that the four-pow-
er Pacific treaty was drafted by him
met with direct challenge In the Sen
ate yesterday from Senator Borah, and
to n lesser degree from Senator John

the debate on the pact.
The other important development
vas an agreement for n vote tomor-
row on the amendment OF Senator
Robinson which would compel the in
clusion in any Pacific conference OF
all nations interested.
The question of the authorship Of
the treaty came up during a speech
by Johnson.
Referee was made TO the fact that
before tho treaty wac signed Hughes
found Il necessary to prepare reser-
vations.

ADA|R CHALLENGES
INDICTMENT FOUND
Demurs to Accusation Against
Him in General Sessions
Court.

Judge Harrington yesterday after
noon In Court OF General Sessions re-
served decision after argument was
heard on the demurrer fllcd by Robert
Adair, attorney, against the indictment
charging him with embezzlement by
attorney.
The Indictment cites eight counts.
However. Mr.. Adair, In arguing his
own case, contended that tho indict-
ment Is endorsed violation OF Section
s765" and that indictments 6 and 3
dealt with unnamed persons" Count
and 4, he told the court, did not nj
form sufficient intention OF n crime and
that count 3 WAS especially mlsap-
piled. In every ono OF these counts.
Mr. Adalr informed tho court. the in
tent to commit crime should have
been alleged.
There is no crime under tho Della
ware statute" said Mr.. Adair, "un-
less there is intent. Tho words OF the
statute are not sufficient In every case
to charge crime and In the present
case Il particularly Is not sufficient"
The attorney further informed the
| court that he was well vcrsed" on
cases OF this nature.
The indictment az a whole, Mr.. Adair
pointed out, constitute blank indict-
ments. There are other contentious

EXPOUNDS VALUE Of
CONSERVATIVE LIFE

The Value OF the Conservative
Spirit" was discussed at the MONDAY
Lenten service at st. Andrews p. e
Church today by Rev. w. Russell
Bowie OF St. Paul's 2. Z. Church Of
Richmond, Va.
Taking as an example the story OF
how Isaac dug again the wells OF
his father, Abraham. which had been
filed up by the Philistines. DR.. Bowie
declared that for man to go back 10
the old wells OF reverence and belief
was a reasonable thing to do. He
said that we are not stronger oc wiser
in ourselves than men OF past ages.
but we started where they stopped.
and we know that because inspiration
once flowed from the wells OF our
fathers. il will again. In spite Of the
distaste that moderns feel for the
rubbish OF form and meaningless cere-
nony that have stopped the springs
OF Christ's life OF service. DR.. Bowie
declared that it is easier TO clean the
old springs than TO dig new wells.
We need inquiring minds and q con-
structlve spirit" he said. so that the
Old water OF life may flow In new
ways"
The third reason for the value OF
conservatism DR.. Bowie gave. was the
value OF religious associations and
reverred memories. which hallow the
wells OF our fathers He decried the
cheap new houses we live in; built
with no thought OF a yesterday and
little vision OF tomorrow. which are
typical OF these times when We think
that a new thing must OF itself be
better than the old.
Tomorrow Or. Bowie will talk on
