The bill provided life imprisonm ent

The measure also stipulates that the

Senate Approval Secuted
Democratic opponents, defeated in

Rebutting the accusations of fraud

knowledge of political economy. The
German reply to the reparations com

Affirming the impartiality of the

j. s. PRESENCE
At GENOA TURNS
ON FRENCH CUE.
At Least Paris Expects
Ambassador Harvey
to Say It's Dependant.
Farley of No Value if
France Is Out Is View
Supposed to Hold.

Paris, Ian. 26.-(By The AS
sociated Press).-It was reliably
stated Thursday night that George
Harvey, American ambassador to
Great Britain, will tell Premier
Poincare, during his brief sojourn
here, on his way from Cannes to
London, that the United States
may yet consider being represented
at the Genoa economic conference,
provided France will consent to
full participation.
This was the view expressed
Thursday night, subject to any
further instructions the ambas-
sador may receive from Washing
ton as the course to be taken to-
ward the Genoa conference. Mr..
Harvey's interview with the pre-
mier is expected to take place
Friday.
Ambassador Harvey said he
would take the opportunity of max
ing clear the American viewpoint
on the Genoa conference specific
ally and on the economic and
financial question generally. He
said he would see as many rep

msnt as possible.
Mr.. Harvey also will hold con-
ference with Myron. T. Herrick,
American ambassador to France.
1t Is understood that MIR. Har-
vey probably will inform Premier
Poincare that the American gov
ernment feels that the Genoa con-
ference will be worthless. or at
least of little value, unless France
whole-heartediy takes part. Should
France decide to remain out, he
is understood to be instructed to
announce that America would be
particularly reluctant to join.
1t Is understood in American
quarters here President Hardings
final decision of acceptance OF the
invitation to be represented at
Genoa depends to considerable
extent upon the results of Mr..
Harvey's conversations here.

Washington, Jan. 26.--The senate
committee investigating charges that
American soldiers were hanged without
trial in France probably will close its
work next week.
After hearing IS witnesses. none of
whom testified directly in support of
the charges, the committee adjourned
until Wednesday. when II witnesses
will be examined Should no others
be found meanwhile, the hearing will
be closed and Chairman Brandegee
indicated an early report would be

The hearing Thursday covered a
broad field. Ivy Henderson Of Ches-
ter. S. c., who served overseas as or
derly for Colonel r. G. Langdon, de-
clared in letter that Colonel Paul Ma
had shot and killed soldier because
he could not keep up with his COM
mand and that Colonel Iangdon. who,
he said. was a witness, reported the
shooting. Colonel Langdon, who was
testifying. asserted that he never heard
of an officer shooting private and
expressed the opinion that Henderson
twas not very bright and that be-
cause Of his mental condition prob
ably thought the thing was true, but
that it did not actually happen.
Senator Watson, democrat. Of Geor-

probable that Colonel Malone will ap-
pear.

Columbia. Me-, Jan. 26.-At its
final session Thursday, the national
conference of the northern and south.
ern conventions of the Baptist church
went on record as opposed to ans
attempt to bring about organic union
denominations. The conference. how
ever. favored cooperation with other
denominations.
The conferense recommended to

ment of II joint committee to, inyesti-
gate pending treaties affecting inte.-

DR.. George Franklin Shiels. major

Coughing, sneezing, or sudden i'm

Outwardly the Shantung problem was
in a waiting stage, although important
moves were taking place behind the
scenes in Peking, Toxic and Washing
ton. The japanese and Chinese an
nounced they would meet before Satur-
day at the earliest to consider formally
the latest settlement proposed.
Wireless Agreement Reaffirmed
AS if in preparing for the announce
ment Of a complete agreement. how
ever, Japanese and Chinese delegates
cleared the last remaining collateral is
sues of the Shantung negotiations and
agreed to meet Saturday to begin the
drafting of a treaty. Only the central
problem of the Tsingtoa Tsinanful rail-
road, to which the compromise proposal
supported by President Harding is di
reeted, remains unsolved.
The Shantung meeting and session
of the drafting subcommittee at which
the Chinese radio resolution of Dec. Z
was reaffirmed after agreement on adj
ditional declarations had failed, consti-
tuted the formal conference activities
Thursday. The December resolution
provides for cancellation of unauthor-
lied wireless concessions in China while
the proposed additions would have di-
rected future development of the Chi
nese railway system. 1t was decided to
enter these rejected propositions on the
conference records as representing in
dividual viewpoints.
Italians Ask Atlantic Cable
Meantime, another conference draw
back disappeared when the Italians
made known their readiness to assent
to the six-poWer treaty allocating the
former German cables in the Pacific. on
the assurance of conference leaders that
Italy will be supported in her claim to
a share in the cable lines formerly con-
trolled by Germany in the Atlantic.
Completion Of this treaty dividing the
Pacific lines between the United States.
Japan and The Netherlands, is expect
ed within few days.
AS viewed by some delegates. the
cable treaty is virtually the only agree
ment Of the conference that is not in
some degree affected by the log jam Of
which Shantung is the center Should
an agreement over the former German
leased territory fail. it is conceded gem
orally that the effect will be far-reach-
ing in the whole far eastern situation
and through that medium. in turn, on
the naval agreement and the four-power
Pacific treaty.
Just how narrow has become the diff
ference remaining between the Japan
ese and Chinese over Shantung is not
revealed. but all outward signs indicate
that only one or two points of the rail-
road tangle remained to be settled.
