The bonus raid on the public treas.

blocked to-day by the two most pow
full blocs that it has encountered

In the order OF their relative impor-

The result was that the discredited

fewer friends than at any time in its
turbulent history. Rejected by the

In the debate in the Senate to-day
on the four Power treaty the charge
was made that the United States and
Great Britain have entered into a Sc
cret agreement as part of the treaty
and against Japan.
The charge was read into the SEN
who quoted Paul ID. Cravath, New
York lawyer. as his authority. Mr..
Cravath's statement is supposed to
have been made before the council for
foreign relations Of the New York
Bankers Association on February IT..
In this statement. which Senator
Borah explained was a stenographic
report Of Mr.. Cravath's speech. the
speaker had said the agreement ex-
listed, and added he had talked with
the members of the American delega-
existence to the extent that a basis
for cooperation had been established.
The Borah statement Immediately
drew statements from Senator Under
wood (Ala.) and Senator Lodge
(Mass), both Of whom denied the ex-
istence of the agreement and charac-
terzed the assertion that they had
been consulted by the original author
of the statement as untrue" Sena-
tor Underwood added: II would char
acterize it by a stronger word if
were not speaking from the floor OF
the Senate, for it deserves such char
acterization."

with the questioning of talesmcn 50 the

was no speeding up OF the work ami
nearly two hours was consumed in
picking the last two Jurors.
Mr.. Pecora asked each talesman. as

Mr. Pecora asked several questions
that might indicate what line he antici.

by Mr.. Steucr as character witness.
Another question late In the afternoon
was whether II would prejudice the

A tedious day of jury drawing for
the trial of Tex Rickard, boxing pro-

sensationally yesterday when the
court ordered Rickard, who has been
at liberty under s25,0OO bail, sent to
Tombs Prison and the eight members
of the jury thus far selected locked
up over night in the Murray Hill Ho-
tel.
This action by Justice Wasservogel,
sitting in the criminal branch of the
Supreme Court, came as a wholly un-
expected climax to the general list
lessness Of the dty's proceedings.
1t was not until adjournment at 9
o'clock that the spectators in the
court room coupled the Justices order

Action Is Unexplained.

Mr.. Steuer would make no comment
upon the courts action. Mr. Pecora,
when asked his reason for wishing the
jury put under lock and key and the
defendant placed in custody. refused to
give any further information. He said.
however, that although such was not a
common practice it had been done on nu-
merous other occasions where a serious
crime was charged. He said il was
more frequently done at a later period
in trial when the prosecutions evil
dence had been presented.
Justice Wasservogel told the members
of the jury the court would spare no
expense in making them as comfortable
as possible during the time they will
be obliged to be held together and for
hidden communication with persons on
the outside.
From the time court was convened in
the morning until adjournment was or
dered two hours after the customary
hour Eickard had listened attentively to
all that transpired. He appeared
slightly nervous and detected when told
by the court his bail was Cancelled, and
that he would remain in the Tombs dur
ing the remainder of the trial. He was

"Infamous and Untrue"

Both Senators Underwood and Lodge
spoke with feeling. Senator Lodge espe-
cially not attempting to hide his in
dignation. Senator Lenroot Cwis.) joined
Senators Lodge and Underwood in dep
recating the publication Of such a state
ment on the floor of the Senate and
added that ii was clear opponents OF
the treaty were reduced to serious
straits. since they are forced to re-
sort to an effort to raise suspicion con-
corning the treaty by the use of slander
and insinuation."
Senator Underwood charged that use
made OF the statement is a menace 70
the people of the United States since IL
might strain the relations of this Gov
ernment with foreign Powers. He de-
clared the charge was as infamous as II
was untrue.

Senator Borah read his statement

the meeting presumably by Norman

State under the Wilson Administration.

The Cravath statement as presented
by Senator Borah reads:

There are five principal Gauss sCf

lect. Contagious diseases can be
avoided. or ut least the consequences
greatly diminished, II farmers will
learn to cooperate with the United
States department Of agriculture and
the various state livestock and sani-
tary authorities, who are striving to
maintain animal health. Farmers
should report promptly to the nearest
officials any suspicion Of the pres

should observe carefully all regula-

lection against contagion.
Tuberculosis is one Of the worst
scOurges among animals and thrives
best in damp, dark, ill-ventilated sta

mails running at large. Light, dry,
well-ventilated stables and dry, clean
barnyards or paddocks, are essential
to the health Of farm animals. One
valuable point in combating contag-
ious diseases, especially tuberculosis,
is to start the herd with animals that

Wool Position Strong
Again advising Montana woolgrow-
ers to keep their control of the mar.
ket which they have gained in the
few weeks past. Mr.. Staff briefly
summarized the present situation
and gave forecast of the informed
wool circles. He said. lit is acknowl-
edged that wool occupies a stronger
position today than at any time with
in the memory of those engaged in
the trade. It is now entirely a prob
lem of supply and demand. With
stocks on hand in this country on
January l. 1922, of approximately
S50.000,0O0 pounds. with an antici-
pated production this year of not to
exceed 25O,OOO.OO0 pounds. we will
have available for consumption with
In the calendar year 1922 a total of
6OO,OOO,O00 pounds. Since it is Gus
tomary in normal years to carry over
from one year to the next around
30O.0OO.000 pounds. we shall neces-
sarily have to import from abroad
at least 3O0,0O0,OO0 pounds, and
possibly considerably more. to sup
ply our needs.
when 1t is considered that Amer
lea has bought very little in foreign
markets, all available supplies having
been absorbed by England and con-
tinental Europe. it will not be diff
ficult for anyone to understand what
the effect would be on prices in the
foreign markets If America suddenly
should become an active participant
In bidding at foreign auctions. As
It now stands, foreign markets have
advanced more rapidly than Ameri-
can markets and the margin is WIDEN
ing. Fine woods are practically i'm
possible to obtain, and 1t is my judg-
ment that this will result in a strong
demand for medium woods such as
are produced in many sections Of
Montana. As to fine woods, no one
can tell how high they may go later
In the season.
Consumption Heavy
consumption continues heavy, as
10 shown by recent reliable statistics.
