Weeks Studies Report
Of Airship Disaster

Washington, March 22-Secretary
Weeks had before him tonight for
examination the report OF the spe-
cial army board headed by Lieut.
Col. Arthur G. Fisher appointed to
investigate the wrecking of the army
semirigid dirigible, Roma, at Hamp-
ton, Va, recently with the loss OF
many lives. The secretary declined
to make public the boards findings,
but said he expected to give out the
report tomorrow. .....
No definite decision has been re-
ported BY the War department Oh
the question of whether the Roma is
to be replaced in the army air SER
vice. Mr.. Weeks said this decision
was moi. necessarily dependent in any
way upon the findings of the board
which investigated the disaster. but
would be reached after a > careful
study Of the probable military value
Of dirigible airships.
For his own part. the war secre-
tary is inclined to believe that such
aircraft have not a sufficient value
to warrant a propect for replacement
OF the Roma.

Moral Reform Wave
Sweeps Mexico City

Mexico City, March "a wave
of moral reform that might be lik-
ened to the blue law agitation of the
United States is sweeping over Mex
leo City.
The latest agitation is for the sep
aration of the sexes in the moving
picture theaters. Most Of the movies
here are quite dark during the per-
formances and the moralists say that
there is as much uncensored romance
in the balconies and the dusky cor
ners of the orchestra as there is on
the screen. Leaders of the moral re-
form movement predict national de-
cadence and a rapid lowering of the
moral standard if the sexes are not
separated or the lights turned on.
Some of the moving picture houses
here are particularly adapted to the
DEVELOPMENT of romance.

Coal Mine Strike

No Hope Held Out of Avert

indianapolis, March 22.-No hope
was held out in union circles here
that the coal strike set for April |,
might be averted by government Of
ficials, who have not entirely aban-
doned their efforts to get settle
mcnt, particularly in the soft coal
fields.
Even an unexpected decision on
the part of operators of the central
competitive field to meet the miners,
was said to be doubtful of stopping
the strike, which it was pointed out,
was authorized to be effective unless
a new wage contract had been made
by union officials and approved by a
referendum vote OF the miners. With
only 10 days intervening until April
|, the time was said to be too short
for carrying out the unions program
for reaching a settlement. Though
the unions policy committee has au-
thority to iorestall the strike, there
was no indication that any such ac-
ton was contemplated.
The exact financial resources Of
the union for carrying on the strike
are not known, but the internation-
al organization had about S500000

Senate Holds
Night Session
on Pacific Pact
Oratory Divided Equally Be.
tween Friends and Enemies
of Treaty-La Toilette
Leads Opposition.

Washington, March 22.-E & h I
hours more OF oratory, divided about
equally between praise and condem-
nation OF the four-power Pacific
treaty, went into the senate record
today as the ratification debate ap-
preached its conclusion.
So great was the crush OF sena-
tors who wanted TO get their views
recorded before the hour for voting
arrives on Friday. that an all-after-
noon session was not sufficient to ac-
commodatc them. For the first time
since the debate began, the senate
recessed for dinner and met again
in the evening TO let the discussion
wear itself out.
On the side OF the treaty pro-
ponents, Senator Pomerene, Ohio, a
democratic member OF the foreign
relations committee, took up the night
for ratification with speech telling
his party colleagues they could not
consistently oppose the tour-power
pact il they had honestly favored the
league OF nations. He characterized
the treaty as a pocket edition OF
the celebrated article 10 Of the league
covenant and said that although he
would have preferred the league or
the association of nations" advocat-
ehby President Harding, it would be
inexcusable to reject the regional un-
derstanding now offered. Q,
La Toilette Opens Opposition.
For the opposition the days debate
was opened by Senator La Toilette,
republican, Wisconsin, who denounc-
ed the treaty as a another alliance
binding the United States to support
imperialistic policies in the Pacific
and far east. In any conference held
under the treaty, he said, the Ameri-
can representative was. certain to be
outvoted by a Japanese:-Brltlsh COM
bination against American interests.
Senator Shortridge, republican,
California, and Senator Townsend,
republican, Michigan, also spoke in
favor of ratification at the after
noon session, the former arguing that
the provision excluding domestic
issues" from the scope of the treaty
constituted an admission by Japan
of the right of the United States to
handle the Pacific coast immigration
problem in its own way. At the
evening session, Senators Walsh,
democrat, Massachusetts, and Shep-
pard, democrat, Texas, were given
right-of-way to deliver prepared ad-
dresses opposing ratification.
Conferences Numerous.
Numerous conferences between
various groups took place while the
days discussion was in progress and
although some of the irreconcilable
group declared they had consolidat-
ed an opposition totaling within two
or three votes of enough to defeat
ratification, the administration lead
ers insisted the margins would be
much greater. The leaders also stood
pat on their predictions that no reser.
vation would be adopted except the
"no-alliance" declaration drawn by
the foreign relations committee.
In all, seven reservations and one
amendment are pending and it was
indicated that at least one more
would be presented before the final
vote. 1t is expected to provide that
each signatory nation shall decide
for itself what questions constitute
domestic issues" within the mean
ing of the treaty.
