thought the treaty did not go far
enough in freeing China from for

Debate Is Desultory.
Debate on the Chinese treaties
was desultory and aroused little in
terest. At times fewer than a
dozen Senators were in the cham
Der, and once or twice the Repub-
lican side was entirely deserted.
Democrats carried on a discussion
among themselves, in which Sena-
tor Underwood. of Alabama, the
leader, defended the policies of the
administration.
ly pleased that the ratification of
the treaties was accomplished in
such a short time Six weeks have
not yet elapsed since the discus
sions began in the Senate, and the
way is now open for the transac-
ton OF the business that has been
accumulatinC in the Senate. EN-
cept for the four-power Pacific
treaty, approval of the conference
pacts was virtually unanimous.
Treaties Arc Listed.
Here are the treaties the Senate
has ratified:

sideration.
and 5. The two Chinese
treaties.
The Chinese treaties were ne
gotiated among all the nine powers
participating in the conference

France. Italy, Japan, Holland and
Portugal.
The policy" treaty establishes
the principle of the open door. by
guaranteeing the principle of equal
opportunity for the commerce and
industry of all nations throughout
the territory OF China" 1t also
binds the powers to refrain from
seeking special advantages in China
and to respect that nations inde-
pendence and territorial integrity.
The tariff treaty gives China an
actual tariff levy of 5 per cent ad

vision shall meet at Shanghai at the
earliest practicable date. and makes
provision for further revision by in

MRS. BERCD0tL

In COURT; FINED

When Lawyer Explains
misunderstanding.

Ignorance of District court pro-
cedure saved Mrs. Emma C. Berg
doll. of Philadelphia. who is suing
for the recovery of s250.000 in nego-
tiable papers and $4,000 in cash.
seized by the government during
the world war, the necessity OF
paying a $50 contempt fine. imposed
by Justice Jennings Bailey, OF
Equity Court, yesterday.
The court had begun the hearing
of the claim involving Mrs. Berg
doll, after completing arguments in
the claim filed by Charles Braun.
her son. for the recovery Of a s15,
900 promissory note, when the aged
woman rose and began TO address

remain silent. both by Justice
Bailey and her attorney. John S.

Thomas w. Miller. Alien Property
Custodian. continued the statement
of the case she again rose and be-
gan to give her side"
Insists ON Talking.
The court ordered her to remain
silent, but she continued to make
her statement of the case. il,
attorney told her that her actions
were contrary to the court pro-
cedure. but she continued to talk.
The court again requested silence,
but the statement continued.
When all efforts to regain order
failed, Justice Bailey placed a fine
of $50 against the woman, and or
dered a bailiff to remove her from
the courtroom until she had re-
gained her composure.
Later she returned to the court
room, supported on the arm of her
attorney. sobbing and almost hys-
terical, and unable to occupy the
witness stand. Noting the womans
plight, Justice Bailey postponed the
hearing of the case until April II.
Maxwell. Mrs. Bergdolls attorney.
wrote a check to cover the amount
of the contempt fine. explaining to
the judge that in Philadelphia his
client had been permitted to argue
for herself. and that she was of
the opinion that she would be per-
mitted to do the same here.
Fine Is Cancelled.
Probably it was the pitiful sight
of the aged woman who has been
subjected to innumerable difficulties
as the result of her sons unpatriotic
activities which caused Justice
Bailey to cancel the fine. or maybe
II was the statement that she in
tended no disrespect by her actions,
but believed she had the right to
state her own case. Whatever the
cause, the fine was cancelled, and
the money remitted.
Finally Mrs. Bergdoll had recov-
cred sufficiently to be lead from the
courtroom, but upon reaching the
stairway she again partially COL
lapsed and was permitted to sit upon
the steps while she sobbed patheti-
cally.

ASKS RAILROADS
HELP PAY COSTS

To determine what, if any, por-
tion of the expense Of eliminating
crossings of roads and railroad
tracks should be borne by the rail-
road. the Nevada public service
commission has set April 20 in
Carson City as the time and place
for holding a hearing on the appli-
cation of State Highway Engineer
George w. Borden to have the rail-
roads pay share Of the cost
All railroads operated in the state
are made defendants through the
filing of Borden's application.
"In connection with the develop
ment and construction Of the state
highway system of Nevada, it is ex-
tremely desirable to eliminate cross
ings of railroad tracks at grade
wherever feasible" Borden wrote
to the commission.
"This grade crossing can usually
be secured by the construction OF
overhead or under pass structures
or by relocation of the existing
grades. The use of any these re-
quires an additional expense, por'
ton of which should undoubtedly be
paid by the railroad company al.
fected.
"In order that the ratio Of par.
ticipation between the railroad COM
pany and the state may be adJudi-
Gated and fixed, we respectfully
request hearing before your COM
mission under section 18-A Of the
public service commission law al
which representatives of this de-
partment and of the railroads ma,
appear and present the facts and
arguments for consideration. Car.

WOULD GUST NYE
COUNTY COMMISSIONER

Custer proceedings have been
filed against William j. Douglas,
chairman of the county commission
ers of Nye county, and the date
set for the summary hearing before
the district judge is March "a.
The complaint was filed on the
10th by L. W. Horton, foreman of
the Nye county grand jury, acting
as a citizen of Nye county.
The complaint alleges generally
according to the Tonopah Times,
that defendant was guilty Of mis-
conduct on several occasions, and
enumerates many instances when
the chairman was alleged to be
under the influence Of intoxicating
liquors to such an extent that he
was incapable Of performing the
duties of his office, and that on
several Of these occasions he threat
ened and criticized other county Of
ficers regarding the performance Of
their duties.

NEW WAGE SCALE FOR
WHITE PINE employees

At a meeting of the board OF
county commissioners a new wage
scale was adopted for employees
working on county roads with
teams. The reduction is largely
due to the fact that hay and grain
is much cheaper now than it was
during war times. Owing to the
fact that such supplies are cheaper
in the farming sections the county
has been divided into districts. The
wages for one man and two horses
on road work will be Sc per day.
For one man and four horses, $3.50
per day. The town districts are
named as Ely, East Ely, McGill,
Cherry Creek and Hamilton, and the
wages in these districts fixed at 81
for one man and two horses, and
$3.50 per day for one man and
four horses. For an additional
team the rate will be $3.50.
Eight hours will constitute a
days work, but time will not be
allowed for going to and returning
from work. In other words the
county will insist that eight be put
in on the job. The county will
furnish equipment for all teams
while at WORLDLY Record.

However, once behind the bars
they found themselves at liberty tt
