BLOC DOESN'T BLOCK
FOR PUBLIC, HESAYS
Senator Stanley Finds when
People Ask for Bread They
Get a Stone.
peoiar Dispatch to TIE New YoRK HERALD.

Special Dispatch to TIE New York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau
Washington. ID. c., Jan. 30.
The agricultural bloc was denounced
and defended to-day in the Senate and
the roll was called to show that twelve
members "voted right" on amendments
to the funding bill.
Senator Stanley (Ky.) said he was
surprised and shocked to note that the
agriculture, bloc fails to block where 1t
is possible to block in the interest of
the people,. He said in his opinion the
bloc was much overrated as power for
good, "for when the people ask for bread
you are giving them a stone"
The Kentucky Senator added that he
''noted that the bloc members for the
most part are lined up with the Wall
Street interests in this BILL" and he
added 'it appears they have been giving
the farmers a cock and bull story or a
square mile of hot air."
mo, the agricultural bloc does not
amount to much when Wall Street is on
the Job" he said.
Senator Ashurst (Ariz.) defended the
AGRICULTURAL bloc, saying "it seems to be
the favorite indoor sport to denounce the
bloc. Even the President Joined in the
sport at the recent conference OF farm
ers. Now / will prove to you that many
members of the bloc are voting right on
this bill ~
Then the Senator pointed out that
he and Senator's Caraway, Fletcher.
Heflin. Jones (New Mexico). La Fol-
lette, Kenyon, Ransdell. "all members
of the bloc in good standing. have
looked out for the interest. of the people
in considering amendments TO this BILL
After Senator Ashurst had announced
the roll call of the bloc Senators Wat
son (Ga), Harris (Ga) and Sheppard
(Texas) said they wished to be recorded
as members Of the bloc who are vot-
ing right on the pending amendments.
After the three Democrats had got
on the bloc band wagon Senator
Ashurst asked: Now will any one
else on the opposite side join the con-
fession?'
Then he proceeded: "The bloc rescued
this country from perilous drifting on
MANY vital questions. 1t was instru-
mental in securing much beneficent
legislation. including the passage OF a
bill requiring the appointment OF a
farmer on the Federal Reserve board.
The bloc forced through the bill te
regulate grain exchanges. and 1t has
been instrumental in having the COM
mittee framing the tariff to grant
proper protection on hides and wools
SO our producers OF these commodities
here can compete with the producers In
England. We have been back OF many
other important acts"

pointed to meet the director and tell him

That after definite information was
given to him on vice resorts he failed
to suppress them. either because he was
unable or unwilling to do so."
Several weeks ago a committee of the
churches visited Director Brennan. and
they are said to have given TO him in
formation about certain alleged dlsor-
derly resorts. He was asked to close
them. It Is said the Commissioner prom
ised to do something. but that the houses
continued to run and no arrests were
made.

PEKIN ACCEPTS FINAL
SHANTUNG PROPOSAL
Holds Refusal Might Aiiendte
English Speaking Nations.

PEgIN, Jan. 81 (Associated Press) -
The Government is understood to hold
that tine final Shantung proposal at the
washington conference, as framed by
the British and American delegates,
should be accepted.
while it was felt to be important that
the problem of the port of Kiao-chou
should also be adjusted, it was realized
that this could not be done without a
settlement of the Shantung Railway
question and that therefore ii was un-
wise to refuse the proffered adjust
ment.
A refusal, IL was realized, might
ALLEVIATE the English speaking nations,
who were considered in Government cir
cles as likely to hold China unreason-
q BILE, to the detrment Of their future re-
latfons with her.
The decision. IL is pointed out. may
throw a damper on the efforts of COM
inercial and other organizations TO raise
funds for the cash redemption of the
Shantung Railway. but the funds sub
scribed il is argued. can be used in re-
demption of the Treasury Issue at the
first available opportunity. and thus
efface the last trace of the dispute.

Aleutian Islands, nor TO extend its
armaments in the Philippines and
Guam.
The United States and the other sig
natory Powers are not prevented from
adopting military measures TO main
tain order on any of the islands where
the status quo of Notifications is TO be
observed during the life OF the treaty.
Permission is also given to extend
works that may be essential for trade
necessities.
The British Government agrees not
TO extend its Notifications at Hong
kong and any insular possessions
which the British Empire now holds
or may acquire in the Pacific Ocean
east of the meridian 10 east longitude
1t will have the right, however, to
fortify or extend Notifications on ISL
ands adjacent to the coast of Canada,
the Commonwealth of Australia and
its territories. New Zealand and Singa-
pore. The latter port is not regarded
as being properly in the Pacific. Aus
iralia will have the right to fortify
New Guinea, the Norfolk Islands,
Papua and the Lord Hall Islands.
Japan agrees to maintain the status
qua of Notifications in the Kurile ISL
ands. the Bonin, the Amami Oshima,
tho Loochoo Islands, Formosa and the
Pescadores and any insular territorial
possessions in the Pacific which she
may acquire. The Japanese Empire
has the right TO regard the southern
half OF Sakhalin as a part of its home
land and preserves the same right to
fortify il as the United States has over
thu Hawaiian Islands.
Under the terms of the new agree
ment not to extend Notifications ex-
cept as specifically provided no new
fortifications nor naval bases will be
erected or established in the terri
tories and possessions of the sigma
tory nations. No measures will be
taken to increase existing naval facili-
ties for the repair and maintenance Of
naval forces and no increase will be
made in the coast defenses of the
territories and the possessions speci-
fed in the agreement.
The restriction, however, does not
preclude such repair and replacement
of worn out weapons and equipment
as Is customary in naval establish
ments in times of peace.
The agreement as to Notifications
makes no references to inundated
islands awarded to Great Britain and
Japan in the Pacific by the Versailles
treaty which prohibited the arming
OF them. The effect of the agreement,
however, will be to place the United
States on the same footing with other
nations with respect to mandates
without making it a party to the Ver-
sailles treaty.
The four Power treaty already
agreed upon and approved by the con-
ference provides for the respect of
inundated possessions by tEis country
without involving it in the terms OF
the Versailles instrument.
The American delegates in making
known the completion of the naval
treaty tonight expressed the opinion
that the Notifications feature will give
general satisfaction. as it fully recog-
nizes the actual defense necessities Of
all the nations having insular possess
sions in the Pacific.

report that the roof was weakened
when monster ventilator was installed
last summer. This heavy ventilator with
a motor driven fan was in the center of
the roof Reports are current that this
ventilator had been seen to sway
The evidence all points to the fact
that the ventilator so sagged the roof
that the snow slid toward it and that
the added weight at this point was too
much. The supports broke, consequently

The greatest precautions are being
taken to prevent a recurrence of any
disaster of this sort in any other thea
ter. Examinations are being made of
all, and only those which have been
inspected have been allowed to open.
The newspapers tonight are carrying
large advertisements of some managers
explaining that their houses have been
inspected and are safe. The snow, of
course. has been removed from the roofs
and the inspection is general as to con-
struction and other details.
But Washington is not in the humor
for going to motion pictures. The hor-
ror OF the Knickerbocker is too fresh
in the minds of the people, All the
theaters are doing but slight business.
The Crandall theaters, those of the
chain Of which the Knickerbocker was
a link, have been closed indefinitely.
Harry Crandall, head of the company,
issued a statement in which he said
that the theaters would remain closed
for the time being as a result of the ac-
cident.
The members of the Gridiron Club,
made up OF newspaper correspondents

resolutions in memory of two of its
members lost in the disaster, and to ask
that the fullest investigation be made

city government Criticized.

The introduction of the resolution of
Senator Capper was the signal for criti-
cism of the entire District of Columbia
government and 1t is possible that the
scope of the investigation Will be ex-
tended TO all branches. This was pro-
posed by Senator Frelinghuysen IN. J)
in supporting the Capper resolution.
II think this investigation should be
widespread" Senator Frelinghuysen de-
clared. "and that 1t should cover the
entire city government.
II know from personal knowledge that
there are In this city at the present time
many buildings that are firetraps and If
at any time a casualty should occur
there will be a great loss Of life. This
city has grown far beyond its proper
ton in ten years and 1t Is high time
Congress should pay some attention to
the conditions and that some civic lead
ership should be established to give pro-
trction to citizens who reside here"
The Capper resolution was referred to
committee as formality, and its adop-
ton is assured. Similar action is ex-
pected in the House.
The Federal Grand Jury, which has
been occupied with the case of Charles
w. Morse, set that aside for the Knick-
erbocker inquiry.
When street cars go over the different
sets OF tracks there is great deal or
vibration. The residents of the neigh
borhood say their houses always shake
because of this. One of the theories is
that this process has been soing on at
the theater for a long time, weakening
tho structure to an extent where the
snow brought about the collapse.
Also 1t is said the hand clapping In
the theater and the music may have
contributed to the weakness of the
building, through the vibration that re-
suited.

lending the money to the nations, Sena-
tor Borah continued:
"I feel that my share OF the response

voted for the bill because others insisted
it was the only way to win the war,
Now, I want to know how and when

on the debt funding bill In its present
form. saying he would not vote for II
unless amendments were adopted limit
ing the power Of the funding commits

ing submitted TO the Senate for ratifica-
tion or rejection.
