STATE STATUTES VIOLATED

Washington. Jan. 10.-The Senate

should be declared vacant. Senator
Borah. of Idaho. declared today in the
Senate, on the ground that the Michigan
election in 1918. "being tainted with
corruption and controlled through the
use of money, is void.'
Senator Boran said this conclusion
was one of eight which he had reached
after "a thorough examinati ion of the
law and n careful study of the facts
relative to this controversy. He out
lined the other seven conclusions as fol-
lows:
THAT the primary is a part OF the
election process, and the improper use
Of money in the primary has the same
effect upon invalidating the election as
the use Of money at an election.
That the amount expended in this
election was such rs TO lead to the con-
clusion that it was intended to, and
did. corruptly affect the results of the
primary.
THAT no man can be the beneficiary
of corrupt election when such cor
ruption was had in his behalf. whether
he personally participated in the cor
rupt methods or not.

this money was Newberry's committee.

When Presented to Plenary
Session
SOME CHANGES PROPOSED
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 10.--Thc Amcri-
can delegates worked on the naval limi-
tapon treaty for several hours preccd-
ing this afternoons meeting of the
heads of delegations.
The treaty will be presented as an
American proposal at n plenary session
Of the Conference. probably before the
week end. Secretary Hughes is cx-
pected to sponsor it. In American
quarters it is stated that the treaty
is SO long and complicated. with n.
finite details TO be fixed exactly. that
the officials are noe sure whether the
delegation heads will be able to round
it out in final draft today.
Before the plenary session the treaty
is to be submitted to and approved by
the Armament Committee of the Five
Powers in executive session.
The tentative draft of the treaty Is
understood to include number of
wholly new features. chief among them
proposal to extend the duration of
the pact until 1897. this not to affect.
however. the ten-year period of the
naval holiday.
Another new provision would au-
thorize construction of warships on for

I commercial vessel of moro than 1O,OO0
tons into a naval auxiliary.
As result of the study which has
been given to the rough draft of the
treaty, several of the delegations have
concluded to recommend changes in the
text, but these for the most part are
designed to clarity the language, and in
no case affect the general broad princi- =
pies embodied.
Further consideration will also be
urged by several delegations of the linn
itation to be placed upon the fortiiica-
tion of the Pacific islands affected by
the treaty. There also may be some
additional suggestions regarding the
method of conversion of merchant ships.
Rut these are all matters of detail, and
it was said by British spokesman
today that they would not present any
obstacles to successful conclusion of
the treaty.
The extension of the terms of the
treaty from ten to fifteen years was
an American idea. but this met with no
opposition from the ether Powers. 1t
was indicated also that the treaty will
continue indefinitely after the cXpirn-
tion of the fifteen year period unless it
IL formally denounced by one or more
Powers after reasonable notice.
This form has been adontCd IN the
hope that by the expiration of the fif-
tctn-year period the convention will
hive so thoroughly demonstrated its Of
hcacy as a means of. preserving the
rcacc that there will be no question in
the minds of the signatories of its con-
tinuance for any definite period there
after.
Seek Shantung Settlement
Arthur j. Balfcur and Secretary
Hughes are working quietly and in
directly to effect n settlement Of the
Shantung controversy despite Japan's
refusal to join with the Chinese dele
CATION in request for such media

With no sign OF the Chinese with
drawing opposition TO accepting a Jap
anese loan to pay for the kiao- Chow
Railway and with the japanese ad-
mitting their readiness TO transmit to
Toxic any new proposal for settle
mcnt. it was expected that Mr.. Balfour
and Secretary Hughes might work out
some formula which might be accept
able to the japanese which would en-
able them to meet the Chinese on
grounds which would save the national
pride Of both nations.
At Chinese headquarters today It was
said that the difference between the
two groups is not "slight' one de-
spite its characterization as such in
japanese circles.
