can. Wisconsin, argued against it on
the ground that it would impose blar-
ket obligations going even beyond the
League of Nations covenant.
Senator Johnson's address of more
than two hours was directed largely
against the declaration of the treaty's
supporters that its chief benefit lay IN
the provision abrogating the Anglo
japanese alliance. If solemn assur-
ances of Great Britain and Japan re-
garding the purposes OF the alliance
were to be credited, he said, then (
contained no menace to the United
States. while if these assurances were
to be regarded as false. then this gov
eminent should not go into partnership
with nations which had practiccd the
deception.
The four-power engagement. said
Senator Johnson, would amount to al
"alliance" and would impose obliga-
tions not dissimilar from those of the
league covensnt. The chief difference
between the new treaty and the league.

he broke the panel to the door to the
private office. He did not know if the
door was locked. 1t was caught and
he broke it. He later went into At
torney Locke's office and with Mr..
Locke he went to Judge Cony's Of
flee; then with Mr.. Locke, to DR.. IA
CANS house. He had secured a war
rant against his wife and DR.. Kagan.
He testified that he had not used
profanity in the. presence of the chill
dren.
Service was made on him on the
first libel brought by Mrs. Lawrence,
he said The matter was finally
dropped.
Upon cross examina ton it devel-
oped that Mr.. Lawrence had receiv-
ed letters and made gifts to Mary z.
York of Brooks and that he had taken
Helen Shaw out to ride on various
occasions, but he denied any improp-
err relations. He said that he was
away from home a good deal. attend
ing auto shows and on hunting and
fishing trips. He said he gave his
wife a note for $4,000 and placed it in
a vault an the Augusta Trust Co.. but
after the DR.. Kagan episode he went
to the bank and tore the note up.
When asked how much he was
worth Mr.. Lawrence was non-plussed
and said he was in the process of fig
uring out his income tax. Both his
! home and garage were mortgaged
and he owes in Augusta about $4,000
and Mrs. Runnells, mother of his
wife, about $1,000. as we'll as $1,000 to
his wife. He had about $4,000 of au-
tomobiles in stock. His house was
worth about $4,000 and he had $4,000
worth of property at South Gardiner.
He also owned stock and bonds. the
value of which he could not tell until
afternoon. when he would have time
to figure them up. His copper stock
had gone down 200 points since he
bought them.
A little later in the days session of
court a written statement regarding
Mr.. Lawrence's assets and liabilities
was presented. showing a balance in
his favor of less than $4,000.

position Of Mrs. Della M. Bridges.
