 Over Treaty
 Causes Rift
Pro : Wilson And Anti Wilson Forces Report ed Lining Up For Wig orous Campaign.

1 Washington, March f5 -
 Growing dissension among Democratic Senators split on
 the Four Power Pacific Treaty
 was reported today to be caus- l ing serious ruction in the higher councils of the Demo
 cratic party.
 Feeling Spreading. With Senator Oscar w. Underwood and William Jennings Bryan pulling for the treaty, and Democratic lead President Wilson pulling against it, the ill-feehng already engendered be- tween the opposing forces, was sadd to be spreading far beyond the Sem ate chamber
 Underwood is expected to hold Democratic senators in line to assist the Republican majority to ratify the pacts are all out of the way it is considered not improbable that a con- oerted move will be made on the Dem ocratic side to wrest from the Alabama Senator his titular leader ship which most of his Democratic colleagues are TOW refusing to recog- nize.
 Baruch And Daniels Active.
 The known activities of Bernard M. Baruch, former secretary of the navy Daniels and other pronounced pro- Wilson men aroun dthe Senate since the treaty fight began. have directed, 1t was declared, as much against Un- derwood's leadership as against the Four Power Pacific Pact itself.
 That the issues raised by the treaty fight will be carried by the Democrats themselves to the polls this year was believed to be inevitable and&the dec laradon of Senator Robinson, of Ar kansas a Pro-Wilson man who pre- sided over the Democratic convention at Sam Francisco, that Underwood made a. every grave mistake" when he asked his colleagues to ratify the treaty, was construed as but one indt- cation that Democrats generally are likely to divide on the pact.

Fordney Plans ToPush Bonus
 ThroughHouse
Get The Bill Passed As Soon As Possible" - Instructions Of House Committee To Chair man,

Washington. March 15 - Plans of Chairman Fordney ot the House Ways and Means Committee to jam the soldier bonus bill through the House early next week without Crossing a 'T' or dotting ar r " went forward today.
 This action is done even in the face of reports from the presidential party in Florida that efforts would be made to thwart his program of immediate action.
 The Ways and Means Committee has instructed Fordney to get the bill passed as soon as possible and it is the plan of leaders to call the measure up next Mon6ay under a suspension rule which would limit debate to forty minutes and under which introduce ton of amendments would not be per- mitted. A two-thirds vote is required rule. but the polls taken by those favoring the bonus indicate that there would be no difficulty in rounding up the necessary majority.
 GiIIett Holds Power.
 Ther is only one thing that could cause a hitch in this program and that is the attitude of Representative lett decides that opportunity should be given for extended discussion of the bonus bill, he can fail to recognize Chairman Fordney or other members of the Ways and Means Committee when they attempt ot put the Bonus bill on its passage and in this way de- lay action until opportunity iS afford ed for lengthy debate and the intro duction of amendments.
 The speaker is now with President Harding in Florida and is reported to have indicated that he does not favor jamming the bill through the House. His decision. however, has not been communicated to RepubE- can leaders in Washington so they are going ahead with their plans in the belief that Gillett will not enter into the bonus fight in such a way as to slow up House action on the com penSatiOn bill.
 Opposition Prepares Views.
 The five members of the Ways and Means committee who opposed the bonus bill were busy today preparing their individual views, but did not indicate whether these would be sub b. mitted in formal report to the House or reserved for statement on the floor during consideration of the legislation. These members are Kitchin of North Carolina; Garner, of Texas, and Collier, of Mississippi. Democrats, and Treadway of Massa- chusetts, and Tilson, of Connecticut, 
 With defeat in the committee of the sales tax, the excess profits tax and higher surtaxes on incomes as a. means of raising money to pay the bonus, it was believed today that such efforts to change the bill would cease, and that it would go in its passage minus and revenue provision.

ELEGANT THEATRE

Houses in State. Hand
some in Its Appointments.
Modern in Every Respect.
Rockingham now has the dis
tinction of possessing a theatre
and picture show that is I'M
doubtedly one of the handsomest
in the State. In fact, a travelling
man in the city today remarked
that it isl the most beautifully APP
pointed house in the State, with
possible exception of the Nat
'ional at Greensboro.
"The Garden" is the name OF
the new house of amusemea. 1t
is really the old opera house-but
remodeled to such an extent that
the said O. h. would bear as
much resemblance to it now as
this climate to the frigid North.
/. Some three months ago Messrs.
T. C. Leak and H. c. Wall bought
the opera house building from
the Bank of Rockingham. They
then leased the opera house to
Mr.. Marshall H. French. who
conceived the idea of building
the premier house Of the State,
under the name of the Rocking
ham Theatre Company. He
oamed the new place The Gar
den, with VIM. G. Atkinson as
manager and Miss Esther Thomp'
son as stenographer.
The remodeling was completed
on Tuesday, and Tuesday night
the doors thrown open to the
public. Rain late Tuesday at
ternoon caused the electric light
wires on upper Washington St
and the new fire alarm wire sys
TEN to come in contact, with the
result that the lights were burnee
out about z o'clock. Despite the
darkness, hundreds assembled ii
front of The Garden waiting fol
the lights to come on and thu
place to open. Finally the juice
appeared at $50 and the door
we're opened. Quickly every ont
lof the more than 600 seats wer'
taken, with scores standing a
the rear; the proprietor, in fact
had to turn away possibly a hun
bred, there being no room. 4

weekly. Aisle lights are at the
end of the seats to prevent
stumbling around in the dark.
The ceiling and walls are in
green and Old Rose, with STENCIL
decorations. These must be
seen to be appreciated. 1t is a
work of art.
The stage has an equipment
surpassed by none. The scenery
was painted and installed by the
Lee-Lash Studies, Of Mt. Vernon,
N. Y. They consist of complete
wood sets, library sets, fancy
sets, plain interior sets, kitchen
sets, besides an oleo drop, gar
