Way CLEARED FOR
FAR EASTERN PACT

Washington. March 30. - (By A..
P.) - Ratification by the Senate Of
the two Arms Conference Treaties,
limiting the navies Of the great
Powers and restricting the use of sub
marines and poison gas, had cleared the
way for debate today on the general
Far Eastern Treaty.
Although there were indications that
the latter would be opposed by a small
group Of Senators who believe China 8
interests were not sufficiently protect
ed. Administration leaders hope this
pact, along with the Chinese Tariff
Treaty, the last remaining covenant
of the Conference, would be ratified
during the present week.
Without amendments or reserva =
tions being proposed to either, the
Senate ratified the Naval Limitation
Treaty yesterday by vote of "a to 1.
and then. almost without debate, ap-
proved. II to o, the pact designed to
prevent submarine operations against
merchantmen and to outlaw chemical
warfare altogether.
Senator France, Republican, OF
Maryland, who cast the only vote
against the Limitation Treaty, said
he regarded naval reduction as a dan :
gerous expedient under present world
conditions.

tfsnsecting it, business the board should
hold frequent meetings and act on al
matters as a body. gg
AS matters now stand. there IL no
way In which the people Of Philadelphia
can register their will concerning the
work Of the public schools. This con.
difion results from the fact that the
members Of the Board Of Public Edu.
cation are appointed by the judiciary
rather than elected BY the people. There
is no escaping either the logic or the
wisdom Of maintaining that, where the
members Of a board OF education have
the direct power to levy and collect
taxes for the support Of the public
schools. the members Of such a board
should be elected directly by the people
taxed and 50 become directly responsible
to them. 49,,
There should be one chief executive
officer Of the Board Of Education and
Of the entire school system. This Of
ficer should also be the chief profess
sional adviser Of the board. After con .
sultation with his professional stan and
the public sentiment Of the city 80 far
as may be possible, he should formulate
the general plans and policies for the
administration Of the schools and sub
NIT the same to the Board OF Educa :
ton. When the Board Of Education
adopts such plans and policies It should
delegate to the superintendent of schools
ample authority to execute ana ad'
minister them

A characteristic story Of johnson is
the account Of what happened Mt the first
Progressive convention, when Roose :

dent and Vice President. The conven-
didates were present in Chicago when It
was held. The natural course was to
bring them both in and introduce them
TO the delegates. The natural order
was Roosevelt first and johnson second.
Roosevelt not only had first plncc on
the ticket, but was one or the best
known and most distinguished men in
the world. johnson at that time had
only been Governor of California and
was hardly known to the country.
Moreover, he was only that vermiform
appendix to a national ticket, the can.
didate for Vice President.
So It was proposed that Roosevelt
should be led in and introduced, and
then johnson. But, no-Johnson would

February Railroad Earnings Large

SO striking was the Improvement in
railroad net earnings for February that
il the returns for all roads average the
same rate of gain rs shown by the
returns for forty systems which have
already appeared, the total will repre-.
sent almost the full 6 per cent return
on tentative property valuation Mt which
the Commerce Commission aimed in it's
last general rate adjustment.
Forty railroads report an aggregate
net operating income for February of
S3l ,S91 100. compared with all operat-
ing deficit of S4.216,175 for the same
ronds in February. 1921. At this rate
the total net for. all Glass roads for
February would approximate $j4,-
900. 900.
The February proportion of 6 per
cent return on the $4,000. 200, 900
tentative property valuation. basing the
monthly division upon the average dis
tr!bution of net operating income for
the three years ended juno 30. 1917,
would be 1000, 900. This estimate
indicates. therefore. that the railroads
earned in February the equivalent OF
an annual return o. 5.Ti per cent on
their property valuation.

First Astor Lots on Block

For the first time In the history of
the Astor family. vacant lots in the city
of New York belonging to a direct de-
scendant of John Jacob Astor. are to be
sold at public auction, about the mid
die of June. at the Hotel Astor. The
property has been ordered sold by the
executors of the estate OF the late
William Waldorf Astor, who was the
first Viscount Astor. The sale will be
conducted by Joseph p. Day and J. Clar-
ence Davies, agents and auctioneers
The property consists or something
less than 1000 lots In the Bronx. be-
tween the Westchester avenue subway,
the New York, Westchester e Boston
Railroad and the Bronx subway. at the
1S0th and Bronx Park stations. the
Bronx River Parkway and East 177th
street, just north of the congested Hunts
Point section of the East Bronx.
John Jacob Astor first landed In New
York n poor boy in 17S3. In sixteen
years he had amassed a fortune of
$3.50. 900. and in 1880 was reputed to be
the only millionaire in America. At his
death In 1S48 the value OF the Astor
real estate was estimated to be about
S20.000.0 900. When his son. William b.
Astor died. in 1876. the Astor real estate
was estimated to be worth 500. 900. 900.
No one to-day knows what the actual
value of the Astor realty may be. as at
present 1t is divided among the many
and various branches of the family.
The late Lord Astor was born In 1s47.
