.ALL-DAY DEBATE
Whole Field of Controversy
Opened Anew in 0ratorical
Field Day.
ASSAIL SHANTUNC DEAL
British Ambassadors Speech
in California Assailed by
Johnson.

WASHINGTON. March 1S-The
whole field OF controversy centering
about the arms conference was
opened anew in the senate today
during an all-day debate on the four
power Pacific treaty.
Sen. Robinson. democrat. Arkan-
sas. started the field day Of oratory
with speech supporting his amend
ment 10 pledge the four signatory
powers against secret diplomacy.
Sen. Johnson, republican, California,
asked why the Franco-Japanese
alliance as well as the Anglo-Japa-
nese alliance, had not been terminal
ed by the four power pact, and later
Sen. Borah, republican. Idaho. join
ed in with an assault on the Shan
tung settlement as an example of the
sort OF diplomacy with which he said
the United States should not asso-
ciate itself.
When the discussion drifted to the
naval limitation treaty and its forti-
fication provision Sen. Poindexter,
republican, Washington, defended
the conference as a real peace ac-
complishmeHt, and when the Shan
tung agreement was assailed, Sen.
Ienroot. republican. Wisconsin, read
portions Of the Shantung treaty to
support his argument that the con-
ference had produced a great deal Of
actual benefit to China.
The manner in which the treaty
was negotiated, the charge that in
sufficient information had been sup
piled the senate, and tho failure to
include outside powers in Pacific
conferences involving their interests
all were among the questions
brought before the senate debate.
One new issue was raised by Sen.
Shields. democrat, Tennessee. who
declared that the British ambassa-
dor. Sir Auckland Geddes, had been
quoted in a speech in Los Angeles
as virtually saying that a war in the
Orient had been averted by negotia-
ton of the new treaty. Sen. Johnson
Immediately inquired since when
the ambassador had been making
speeches TO Californians in support
OF the treaty, and Sen. Robinson de-
clared that if it were true Japan had
been preparing to attack American
possessions in the Pacific, 1t would
be hard for him to support either
the four power or naval treaty.

CONDEMN INDIAN
LEADER TO SIX
YEAR SENTENCE
Gandhi Found Guilty on Each
of Three SeditiOn
Charges.
VIOLENCE Is FEARED
British, With Large Forces of
Troops, Are Prepared for
Disorders.

LONDON. March ia prison
sentence Of six years at hard labor

The trial lasted less than one day,

three different charges of seditOn
against the prisoner and he received
two years upon each.
Violence Feared.
Although the arrest of Gandhi al
Ahmedabad on March did not pre-
cipitate any widespread violence in
protest. fears were expressed today
that the imposition of a long prison
term upon the idol of the Indian ma
tionalists may have more serious
effect.
Gandhi according to an Exchange
telegraph dispatch from Bombay, is
understood to have presented a writ
ten statement to the court, making
no defense. The jail in which the
Indian leader was confined has be
come a mecca" for pilgrims. Many
followers expressed a desire TO be-
come fellow prisoners with their ad-
mired leader. Gandhi showed no
perturbation throughout his ordeal,
but went into the courtroom smiling.
Prepared For Disorders.
The British government is main
tanning large forces of troops in In
dia and Is prepared to cope with
any disorders.
Another feature of the situation
in India was believed to be eXer-
cising. A Pacific effect has left the

listed some powerful residents Of In

ma Shanllerlal, a banker, who was
arrested about the same time as

Barristers.

One of the most successful gather
ings of its kind ever held in this
county was the annual banquet OF
the st. Joseph County Bar associa-
ton, held last night in the Rotary
room OF the oliver hotel. Hon.
Daniel Simms, of Lafayette. Ind.
who is seeking the democratic nomi-
nation for United States Senator
from Indiana was the principal
speaker of the evening.

formerly a practicing attorney in St
Joseph county, acted as POSTMASTER
He was introduced by George Crane.
president Of the bar association.
Mr.. Simms chose as his subject.
The Court for the High and Mighty
as well as the Meek and Lowry"
Developing his theme the speaker
said that the government originally
arose in the theory that might is
right. That was the hrst concept OF
government, he said, and It was fol-
lowed by the concept Of plan versus
plan and finally that Of the individ-
! ual expressed through the unit of
the home for the home is the unit
Of which the government today
exists.
In further developing his theme
the speaker said there came into
existence a limitation Of a doctrine
of the theory that might makes
right
Justice Main Theory.
Conditions arose out Of which
new ideas grew, and from that the
concept Of liberty and Justice. on
which the constitution Of the United
States government was born. Justice
( to every man was the theory on
I which our government was created,
