no action could be taken except by

have changed her attitude within the

Lodge and Borah Face Each

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Adminis-

Chairman Lodge of the foreign re-
lations commission, began in the
senate yesterday determined fight
against the proposal OF Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho, for new
intornaIlonai conference in Wash

Senator Lodge, WHO was said by
his colleagues to have ascertained
the views OF President Harding and
his administration advisers, opened
his attack as soon as The senate be-
gan work on ihe Borah proposal
which is in the form of an amend
ment to the annual naval bill re-
qucsting the president to call an
economic and armaments conference.
The fight on the senate floor be-
gan after score OF administration
senators had conferred nj Senator
Lodges offices ana mapped out a
program providing for resort to
parliamentary tactics if necessary
to defeat the move by Senator Borah.
Part OF the senate irreconeilables

many other questions of foreign
policy also was arraycd against his
amendment, While the attitude OF
the Democratic side Of the chamber
seemed to be waiting one with

IVANDALS ENTER mr.. ARMOUR IS

RUIN PROPERTY THE PRESIDENCY
Sunday School Room and
Main Building Entered
Locks Broken-Of-
ficers After Culprits

An instance of vandalism that, in
point of unadulterated cussedness
lof spirit, compares very forcibly and
Iclearly with acts of sacrilege of
the dark ages and the barbaric re-
gions of the earth of the present
day, was that conducted at the
First Methodist church in this city
yesterday afternoon when the annex
land the main building of that house
of worship were broken into, ran
sacked and treated to other indig-
mites that were OF a most disgraceful
lSort of conduct. Leaders of that
church and officers of the law are
upon the lookout for the culprits
who staged the episode, hoping to
bring them to Justice.
The annex Of the. church, sit
uated upon the north side of the
lot---used as Sunday school ROOM
was entered by breaking the lock
of the door. Sacred pictures that
adorned the walls Of the room were
torn from their places and trampled
into soiled mass upon the floor,
and other marks of vandalism were
left to indicate the trail Of the cul-
orits. The rear of the main church
building was then entered and one
If the large window glasses of the
auditorium on the second floor OF
he structure was broken and other
mischief done in that section OF the
sdiiice. The lower part of the main
building was then visited and locks
on the compartments used for keep
ing Sunday school and other church
literature and supplies were broken
and the contents of the compart-
ments scattered about the floor and
much Of the stock destroyed or soiled.
1t is difficult to realize that a
civilized community could be pos
sessed of characters committing such
depredations but the evidence left
by the culprits who invaded the
sanctuary yesterday afternoon sup.
plies ample proof Of the fact they
are really here. 1t is doubtful If
parental corrective measures would
prove ample in a case OF this sort.
The more stern process of a trial
court, evidently, would come nearer
to measuring out the deserved de-
gree Of justice.
