OPPONENTS IF PACT ACREE TO
 LIMIT DEBATE
Abandon Plans for Prolonged Fight Against Ratification
 of Four-Power Treaty
AMENDMENT REFUSED
Leaders See in Acceptance of Agreement Indication That
 Pact Will Be Ratified

WASHINGTON, Mar. 15. - Oppon- ents of the four-poEer Pacific treaty in the senate today abandoned all plans for q prolonged fight against ratification and accepted a unanimous consent agreement to limit debate and to take final vote on Friday, March A.
 The agreement, which was hailed by administration lqaders as a certain indication that ratification is assured, was proposed on the senate floor after a series of conferences among the various senate elements, and was accepted virtually without debate.
 It provides that no further reserva- tions or amendments shall be voted on until next Tuesday, that speeches on the treaty shall be limited to one hour, and those on reservations to 30 minutes each beginning on Wednes- day, and that final vote shall be taken without debate as soon as the senate convenes on the following Friday.
 Negotiations to bring the ratifica- tion fight to an end begun after the senate had refused for the third time to amend the treaty so that outside powers would be called into consulta- tion when any Pacific controversy touches their interests. An amend ment for that purpose. in a form diff fering slightly from the two voted down yesterday. was presented by Senator Pittman, Democrat, Nevada, and was defeated, 2S to 50. with the division of strength virtually coincid- ing with party lines.
 Little running debate developed over the amendment for the treaty generally, although late in the day, Senator Spencer, Republican, Mis- souri, a treaty supporter, stirred up a cross fire of discussion by assailing the mo alliance" reservation for the foreign relations committee. He de- clared the treaty did create "an alli- ance for conference" and that the reservation constituted ridiculous absurdity." In the course of the day, ratification was urged by Senator Ransdell, Democrat, Louisiana, charge of propaganda" in favor of the treaty was made by Senator Pitt man, and an attack on "Irish-Amer- ican influences against the four-power pact was made by Senator Williams, Democrat, Mississippi.
 Meantime, also, two new reserva tions and one more amendment were offered for later consideration. One of the reservations was put in by Sen- ator Johnson, Republican, California, and embodied the language of the reservation which had ben presented by Senator Brandagee, Republican, Connecticut. in the foreign relations committee, but abandoned by him after a conference with President Harding. The other reservation was by Senator Shields, Democrat. Ten nessee, and would declare the treaty meant no interference ill foreign quarrels. The amendment offered by Senator Robinson, Democrat, Arkan- sas. would pledge the four powers against secret treaties or understand

Proponents of Delay Suggest Conference of President
 and House Leaders

WASHINGTON, Mar. 15. = There developed today difference of opin- ion among Republican leaders In the house as to the method of calling up the soldiers bonus bill on the floor One group still favored consideration next Monday under a suspension of the rules, which would cut off all amendments, while another held to the opinion that delay in action would be preferable.
 By all sides it was said that a de- cision would await the return here Saturday of Speaker Gillett, who is in Florida with President Harding Meantime, there was speculation among house members as to whether the speaker would entertain a motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill.
 Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee, disclosed that he had been informed by Gillett before the speaker left Washington that he had better not depend entirely upon a suspension of rules as the proceed ure for getting the bill before the house.
 Since he has been in Florida, the speaker has indicated that he might not entertain a motion for this pur- pose, because of what he regards as the importance of-the bonus meas ure. p.
 Representative Mondell, Wyoming the Republican leader, said today it would be rather unusual for the speaker to refuse to entertain such a motion if the majority Of the house desired consideration of the bill un- der such plan. He added that it was his judgment that a majority did

Final Selection of Jury in Arbuckle Trial Is Held
 Up by Defense

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar 15.-Attor- neys for the state announced at 5:30 o'clock this afternoon that they ac- cepted the jury as it then stood for the third trial of Roscoe c. Arbuckle, film comedian, on manslaughter charge in connection with the death of Miss Virginai RapPe film actress. The jury contained three women.
 Final selection of the jury was held up by the defense counsel after a few minutes deliberation, when they ex- cused one of the nine men on the jury. Another man was called to be exam ined for the last place, but his exam ination had not been concluded at adjournment. The state so far has used one peremptory challenge and the defense two.
 Selection Of the jury in both the first and second Arbuckle trials took a week, while the conclusion of the fourth court session in the present trial saw the jury lacking but one man of completion. It was expected tonight that the jury would be com- pleted and taking of testimony started tomorrow. Two alternate jurors pro baly will be chosen.
 The selection as juror today of Fred D. Bepler, proprietor of a machine shop. recalled a famous trial in San Francisco 30 years ago, in which M. B. Curtis, also known as "Sam1 of Posen". was tried for the alleged mur- der of San Francisco policeman. His nickname, Saml of Posen," was taken from his play of that name, which had brought him fortune of a million. He spent that sum in his defense during three trials, the first two resulting in a jury disagreement and the third in acquittal
 Bepler was juror in the first trial of Curtis, and told the court that be had carried strong prejudice against circumstancial evidence ever since. The charges against Arbuckle were supported, in his previous trials, mainly by circumstantial evidence.
 Bepler was accepted as a juror and there WAS some speculation as to
 whether the prosecution had new an
 more direct evidence to offer.

 The senate considered the Burton bill to raise the governors salary from $6500 to $12,000 a year. It was agreed to amend the bill so as to pro- vide that members of the legislature who vote for the increase would not be disqualified for candidacy for the office of governor. The bill was per mitted to retain it's place on the cal endar.
 When Senator LarSon's inheritance tax bill was taken up. the author and Senator Elliott enliyeled the pro. ceedings with a heated argument. FL liott had reported that his work on other important bills had prevented him from deciding as chairman of the judiciary committee, certain Ques- ton relative to the Larson bill. Sen ator Larson suggested that the sen- ate employ a lawyer to look after the affairs of the judiciary committee.
 '1nasmuch as nearly all the knotty questions presented to the commit tee have appeared in bills offered by the gentleman from Cocolino (Lar- sonl, I would suggest that he hire him a lawyer" retorted Elliott.
 Two income tax bills were intro- duced today one by Senator Claypool and the other by Representative Hays
 Other bills introduced in the house included measures by:
 Representative Gal.S to increase the course of study in high schools by adding ''the principles of public advertising"
 Representative .Cobbe, to amend a law which requires couples desiring to be married to go to the county seat for a license. This requirement., he said. works hardship on poor peo- pie. He proposed that licenses be issued by any justice of the peace.
 The final business of the senate today was intrpduction and reading of a josh" bill bearing the name of Senator Eddy, who has flooded the senate with district irrigation legis- lation. Preambles of the act recite the entire history of irrigation from the remotest period, and the act it. self makes irrigation close to Gel ony and provides capital punishment by drowning for all who engage in it. The bill was referred to the game warden.

 Over 5000, Loss RUINS STILL SMOKING Say Modern Methods Unable to Cope With Fires in
 High Buildings
RUINS STILL SMOKING

CHICAGO, Mar. 15.--Investigation of the cause of the fire which destroy ed a solid block of thickly tenanted office buildings, caused loss of more than 00,O00, resulted in the death of one man and made 10000 workers idle, was begun tonight by state, city and insurance officials.
 The manner in which the flames flared out in several places at the same moment, the extraordinary rap idity with which they spread until nothing but smouldeIing ruins was left of the entire block bounded by South Canal, West Van Buren and South Clinton streets and West Jack son Boulevard, caused Shirley T. High. fire attorney, to announce that everything pointed to incendiarism."
 The first ''still' alarm was turned in at 12:50 a. m., but it was not until four hours later that the fire was brought under control.
 Just across the street from the charred landscape of tottering walls and twisted, smoking ruins, which firemen expected to be working for the neyt three days, lowered tha mas sive skeleton of the "fireproof" Bur- liugton Building tonight. The walls still stood intack. but its 15 stories of windows stared like sightless eyes over the scene of desolation. The structure housed the headquarters of the Chicago.

 Discharged Chef
 In Brunch Case

Brunch, circus proprietor, shot to death in his home Friday night, it was announced tonight by Prosecutor Jonathan Kelsey. The prosecutor said he wished to question Werner. who had been employed by Brunch in the cook tent of the Mighty Doris and Ferrari Shows" to clear up certain points He directed that a picture of Werner, known as "Dutchy the Chog' be given out for publication at once.
 Werner was said formerly to have conducted a bakery in New York and Milwaukee He was employed in the winter quarters of Brunen's shows at Williamstown, N. J., until a week before Christmas, when he was dis charged.
 That was the outstanding phase of the search for Brunen's slayer today, after the publication last night of a letter Erunen had written to his sis ter, Mrs. Elizabeth Jaesche of Gary, Ills, charging that his household was framing" to "get" him, and the an- nouncement of County Detective FL lis Parker that the show man had shown him a list of names of persons he believed were planning his death.
 Walter s. Keown, Camden attor- ney, retained by Mrs. Brunch, today issued statement denying that the show mans widow knew the identity of the person .or persons responsible for the death, or anything of the kill ing. He asserted also that the letter written by Brunch to his sister had been composed in the heat of passion and had no foundation in truth. Re garding the estate of the show man, the statement said, the reports con corning his wealth were ridiculous" Keown said it consisted of nothing more than half interest in the Mighty Doris and Ferrari Shows" and approximately S1S.OO0 in cash. The only insurance Brunch had. he declared, was a S2.000 policy in which his wife was named as beneficiary.
 Ellis Parker. Burlington county de- tective, said tonight that he had been unable to pick up a single trail of per sons listed by the circus man and giv- en to him two months ago as those who were likely to seek his death.

 and Not of Facts

LOS ANGELES. Mar. 15.-Defense arguments occupied all of today's ses sions in the trial of Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain. charged with the murder of her sweetheart, J. Belton Kennedy. Jud R. Rush. senior counsel for Mrs. Obenebain, began his address at the opening of the afternoon session. He will clos e tomorrow.
 Mrs Obenchain wept when Rush read letters which had passed be- tween her and Kennedy. Rush said Kennedy lover her 'as devotedly, loyally, passionately and e1duringly as she loved him." He declared the state had not shown that she ever held any malice toward Kennedy.
 Referring to Arthur C. Rurch, Mrs. Obenchain's co-defendant, the attor- 1ey said:
 "Madalynne Obenchain looked on Burch in a sisterE sort of way. Burch's mother, wife Of minister of the gospel. invited such a relation"
 Mrs. Obenchain herself, he declar- ed, is a Christian woman of culture. education and refinement, and her let ters indicated nothing but purity. portraying the highest ideals and nob- lest thought"
 Mrs. Obenchain came into court to- day wearing a smile, as yesterday, and intently watched her counsel and the jury as the pleas in her behalf were being made.
 Rush, early in his argument, told the jury thatthe case involved an "oldfashioned love story" He said hot .l,.S. n and referred to the prosecutions 8 case as one of theories and not of facts"
 He declared Mrs. Obenchain looked upon Burch in a ..'sisterly way" and that the testimony showed they were not lovers
 Referring to a remark made in the states argument that the defense had not called Burch as a witness, Rush termed 1t liar fetched in view Of the states atetmpt with Burch on the witness stand"
 Though Burch was called as a wit ness by the state, he refused. upon the advice of his attorney, to testify.
 Rush said the defense had not con trol over Burch and mo means in the world to bring him here"
 Iouchlng upon Mrs. Obenchain's testimony that she had no remem. brance of making a statement to of ficials the day following the killing. Rush said it was not an unusual hap. pening. He cited instonces, where, he argued, it was possible for a per son to have a clear memory of events up to the time of sustaining a severe shock. and then to lose all remem- brance of events Immediately follow ing.
 Mrs. Obenchain, though subjected 10 the most effective cross.examina. tion l have ever heard in my life. came through without a material va. riation in her story" Rush declared.

Alderman Leo Klein declared today in introducing an ordinance before the city coun- cil providing for lower street car steps.
 "The women wear such short skirts that when they start to climb up the high street car steps well, the men cant seem to keep their eyes to the front and many accidents occur, particularly among the automobilists," explained Klein.
 The proposed ordinance was re- ferred to committee.
