PEACE TREATY
IN sight BY
SAFE MARGIN
Agree On Friday, March "a,
AS Date For
Ballot
TWO VOTES TO SPARE
Possible That More Democrats VIII
Switch. Increasing Majority in
Favor of Ratification

Washington, March l6.,-Tne fight
over the Four-Power treaty virtually
is over, with victory resting with the
supporters of the measure.
The vote of ratification will be
taken Friday, March "a, and unless
some sort Of political thunderholt hits
the Senate in the nine days before the
vote is taken, the treaty will be rati
fled with at least two votes to spare,
and possibly slightly larger mar
gin.
This is the view today of leaders of
both camps in the treaty battle. 1t is
publicly expressed, of course, by the
friends of the treaty. The opponents
of the measure are not talking pub
Iicly and are not through fighting.
but it is admitted privately in that
group that hope Of defeating ratitl-
cation is gone-barring the thunder
bolt possibility.
It is generally conceded that SEN
ator Underwood. while. not able to
swing the majority Of his Democratic
associates, has been able 10 convince
enough of those Democrats who did
not make up their minds on their own
account-like Senator Sharp Will
liamS. of MisSissippi--to overcome the
losses sustained by Senator Lodge of
the Republican side and add the addi-
ti0nal votes necessary.
There are 90 Republicans in the
Senate. That is four less than the
necessary two-thirdS laiority for rat
iiiication. assuming all Of the Senator'S
vote. With the loss Of Senators Bo-
rah, johnson, LaFollcttc and France
the pro-trcaty strength of the Repub-
licanS was reduced to SO, or eight less
than the necessary number. 1t has
been up to the pro-tr"aty forces
among the Democrats. headed b!
Senator Underwood. to deliver at least
that many rotcS. and there is no doubt
now that they will have them in hand.
The forecast Of the probable di-
vision of the Senate is expected to
stand, except the possibility that one
or two Democrats counted in the anti
treaty column will swing 10 the other
side. Senator Eendrick. Of Wyoming,
is one of the Democrats put in the
anti-trcaty column who IS thought
likely to 20 over TO the Underwood
group Of Democrats.
When the, Senate convened yestere-
day. having had 81 hours Of reflection
on Yesterdays vote on the Robinson
amendment, which was defeated by %

reach an agreement to vote next
Tuesday. That failed Then efforts
were made to agree to vote on the fol-

ported for somc days that he conten-
plated making one of his famous long

and that such Il speech might become

the trraty's enemies.

TO ASK COUNCIL
FOR THREE MORE
POLICEMEN P
Board of Police Commits
sioners Adopt Resolu-
tion Last Night
WOULD MAKE 81 MEN
Object of Increase is Improved Ser
vice and Shorter Hours for Men
21S Arrests in Month

The Board of Police Commissioners
at their meeting last night adopted a
resolution to ask City Council for
three more policemen to serve perma-
nently, bringing the force up to Il
men.
The prime object of this is to OBJ
tain better service and TO have the
hours for the force more uniform.
Under existing conditions sometimes
the men work as high as Is hours of
duty and have their days broken up,
so to speak. The appointment Of
three more men would greatly facii-
tate this problem and result in ii
surcr service, it is pointed out. The
matter will be presented at the next
regular meeting Of City Council.
Announcement was made at the
meeting last night that William G.
Hunt and Luther H. Hayden, who
were among the three named as cx-
ira men the latter part OF December
to serve till April ], had resigned,
leaving only one of the extra men on
the force. 1t was decided not to hill
their places, owing to the fact that the
extra men would have only a short
time in which to serve.
The monthly report of Chief Of
Police c. 7 Goods showed that dur
ing the past month 2iS arrests were
made. Heading the violations. were
spceders, a total of 81 being arrested
on this charge. Next came violations
of the prohibition law, % being
charged with this otfeEse. and Is for
disorderly conduct was third on the
list.

heretofore has been lost to him
through speculative profits and un-
necessary handling cost.
"That the South Carolina cotton
pool plan is sound and workable is
being proved in conclusive manner
by everyone Of these cooperative as
sociations, which has begun to handle
the crop. There are three outstand-
ing features of everyone of these or
ganizations.
"First: longtime, legally-binding
contract. This makes the members
"stick" and assures the association
that it will have cotton to sell over
a period of years sufficient to enable
it to establish satisfactory trade re-
lations and justify adequate arrange
ments for transacting the business.
"Second: the one hundred per
cent compulsory pool. In the pool
all the product is handled for sale in
evenrunning lots according to quail
ty and variety. All growers deliver
ing the same grade and the same kind
of cotton receives exactly the same
price. Every member receives the
average price at which the product
of that kind and quality is sold. This
makes possible orderly marketing
throughout the year in accordance
with market demands.
"'Third: the non-profit, none-stock
feature and the exclusive grower
membership. This insures a COM
plete harmony of interest, absolute
fairness and equality in the handling
of the business of each member, and
it is a guarantee against outside in
terests over gaining control of the
organization and exploiting it for
their own gain.
"That the South Carolina cotton
pool plan is sound from a financial
standpoint is clearly proved by the
fact that the banks are doing busi-
ness with these associations wher-
ever they are in operation. Banks
of Oklahoma extended the state cot
ton association a credit of upward of
two million dollars last year. Banks
of Texas were also ready to loan
their association several million dol
If;alars! If;alar Phe satien
