POLICE COURT
M|NUSFUNDS
To KEEP WARM
Exchequer Is Exhausted and
Congress Must Find Way to
Provide Expenses.

Frank A. Sebring. chief clerk OF
Police Court, is in a quandary.
With the courts contingent fund
Of $4,000 reduced to 3109.s2. sebrins
is confronted with the problem OF
paying for coal. lighting. stationery
and other incidental expenses until
the endsof the fiscal year. June 80.
Judges Are Worried.
One phase OF the situation causing
Judges John P. Mcmahon and Robert
d. Hardison much worry Is the fact
that the Jury appropriation Of $4,000
will probably soon be exhausted. Ger.
tainly before June 80. Jurors are
paid So a day for service, not being
allowed under the law to serve gratis.
In the event that the appropriation
for Jury duty becomes exhausted, II
is likely that trials by jury will have
to be put off until July I, as Mr..
Sebring will have no fund to draw
on to pay the fees to the talesmen.
The situation L. serious. Already
Clerk Sebring has ordered a curtail'
ment Of electric lighting. urged the
sparing use of coal for heating the
court and scrupulous use Of the court
stationery. Employees OF the court
have been told to stint the use OF
every article which will have to be
paid for, particularly those things
which are dwindling in supply.
May Go to Congress.
Chief Clerk Sebring. however. Is
trying to find a way out Of his pre-
dicament. There must be some way
out of the situation" 1t Is likely
that he and the two Judges OF the
court will go to Congress and make
a personal appeal for additional
funds.
Salaries of the clerks and tho
judges arc fixed by law and are not
paid from the lump sum appropriated
for the conduct OF Police Court. But
more coal Is needed, and II In likely
that unless funds are provided thu
court attendants and prisoners VIII
have to do a shimmy in the near fu
ture to keep themselves warm.
In connection with the skinny wa,
Congress has handled the Police
Court appropriation. II was statet
this morning that the records in thu
financial clerks office shows that IL

SENATECUR|OUS
ABOUT CHINESE
DElLAT FARLEY
Foreign Relations Committee
Marking Time Until Return OF
Hughes From Bermuda.
BY j. BART CAMPBELL
International News Service.

Chinese-Japanese relation, and the
nine-power treaty relating to prin-
ciples and policies to be followed
in matters concerning China" en-
ragged the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee today while the Senate
waited to hear from President
Harding with respect to the four
power Pacific treaty.
Until the return Of Secretary
Hughes from Bermuda no response
is anticipated to the Hitchcock reso-
luton calling upon the President
for all available information re-
Earding the secret negotiations and
private conversations which led up
to the making of the Pacific pact.
Hughes holds the key to the sit
uation. as he, Baron Admiral Kato,
and former Premier Arthur James
Balfour, were personally responsible
for the Pacific treaty. according to
information given the Senate by
Senators Lodge and Underwood.
1t Is expected that Hughes will
be invited to appear before the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tCCs tiO piooooiy oO W
explain why he and President
Harding disagreed as to whether
the treaty, as originally drafted, in
cluded the Japanese homeland.
Republican leaders are still con-
fident Of ratification of all of the
conference pacts and agreements
despite the present mix-up over the
Petite treaty. The Republican "ir-
reconcilables' are bent on attaching
q reservation to the latter which
will specifically state that the
United States shall not employ its
man power and other resources to
help enforce whatever future de-
cisions are reached by it, Great
Britain, France and Japan under
the treaty. They hope for con-
siderable Democratic support.
It is believed that Senator Lodge
and his Republican associates, while
regarding such reservation as
unnecessary, will not oppose 1t If
its rejection would threaten to re-
tard ratification of the treaty.
