His Claim Of Secret Agree
ment Reached.
DENIES ENTERED INTO

gates TO Arms Conference
VIII be Respected.
tBy The United pre.s.)

Washington. March n.--Secretary
OF State Hughes struck back sharply
at the senate critics of the American
arms conference. negotiator of the
four power Pacific treaty
In a letter addressed to Senator
Lodge. Secretary Hughes denied that
any secret agreement exists between
the United States and Great Britain,
as charged by Senator Borah yester-
day afternoon. Secretary Hughes, in
singing language also expressed the
hope. that the American delegates
will be saved further aspersions
upon their veracity and honor.
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
started the fireworks yesterday by
reading statement said to have
been made by Paul ID. Cravath, a
New York lawyer, saying he had
been told by every member of the
American delegation that an under
standing for future cooperation be-
tween the two governments in any
emergency in the Pacific bad been
reached at the arms conference.
The assertion promptly was denied
by both Senators Lodge, republican,
Massachusetts, and Underwood DEM
ocrat, Alabama, both of whom were
members of the delegation.
81 have never had a conversation
with Mr. Cravath about it at ALL"
said Senator Lodge, "and know Of
no such agreement or understanding
with Great Britain. There's not a
word of truth in 1t so far as know
And | certainly made no such
statement" said Senator Underwood,
"and never met Mr.. Caravath so
far as | remember, ] would not
consider the incident worthy Of
notice had it not been brought here
to the floor of the senate. But to
have it go out from here uncon-
tradicted would be menace to our
government, because it might affect
relations with great powers. 1t is
dangerous and ] would not allow it
to go out without an absolute and
unqualified contradiction.
where is your patriotism? Do
you no longer believe in and trust
your government? Can you believe
that your government would make a
solemn compact with other powers
and then before the ink was dry
turn around and enter into a secret
agreement with single one of those
powers? 1t would be infamous if
true. 1t is absolutely untrue and |
would call it by stronger name if |
were not speaking on the floor of
the senate"

Indication.
Telegrams were received this
morning from Ada and Shawnee,
stating that those towns would not
make bid to enter the league The
kilograms came from newspaper men
who had sized up the situation from
conversations with baseball men
there. Ada stated that that town
had a ball team composed of play
ers who held lucrative jobs and
played Sunday ball as a matter OF
recreation. These players could not
afford to give up their jobs for sal

stated, the town evidently desiring
to stay with amateur ball and let

ing a flock Of ball hands for steady

Shawnee was very brief and to the
point. Shawnee will not enter the

be considered to be sufficient.
