REFUNDING VOTE
EXPECTED TO-DAY
Senate Adopts Amendment
Making Allied Interest
4 IA Per Cent.

WASH INGroN, Jan. 26.-The allied
debt refunding bill was subjected again
to-day to a running attack from both
the Republican and Democratic sides Of
the Senate and was defended at some
length by majority party leaders. When
the Senate adjourned the end OF the de-
bate was not in sight, but those in
charge OF the measure thought a final
vote might be reached tomorrow.
IAN amendment was approved provid-
ing that the refunding bonds should not
bear interest at less than Az per cent.
1t was suggested by Senator Simmons
On. c.. Democrat, as substitute for
the original Finance Committee amend
ment. that the rate Of interest should be
not less than that provided for by ex-
listing law.
The attack on the measure to-day was

opened by Senator Johnson (Cal), who
warned that IL the reported plan Of the
Administration to sell the foreign bonds
to the American people was carried out.
"You won't need a League of Nations
to drag you into every imbroglio across
the water" With the bonds distributed
among the people, he asserted, there
would be constant pressure on the Gov
ernment to interfere in the AFFAIRS OF
the debtor nations.
Supporting mis- amendment requiring
Congressional approval OF agreements
entered into with the debtor nations by
the proposed debt refunding commission,
the California Senator said Congress was
responsible to the people. and should
not surrender Its power to supervise the
debt refunding. In this connection he
attacked the secret sessions of the arms
conference. declaring that "a real dis
armament program" would have re-
suited had the seasons been held in the
open for one week after Secretary
Hughes "had made himseuf a hero by
his nlasterful presentation to the world
of the things America would do
Opposing the johnson amendment,
Senator Watson (Ind), Republican.
declared a vote OF the Senate to ac-
cept 1t would be nothing less than "a
vote Of lack OF confidence in the
President of the United States" Sena-
tor Borah (Idaho), Republican. took
issue with the Indiana Senator declar-
ing that Congress had caused the
creation Of a debt and that 1t was re-
sponsible to the people for what hap
percd to 1t.

Consolidated Gas,

A sharp break Of more than points
occurred in the Consolidated Gas Com
pany's shares on publication of the
news that its quarterly dividend had
been referred to it's executive committee
with power to act. The committees next
meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, and
next Monday is the last decision day Of
the Supreme Court in Washington be-
fore its adjournment until the end Of
February. This was interpreted as
meaning that unless the court decides
on Monday for the company in its higher
rate fight. and thereby releases some
$13.000,000 which has been collected at
those rates and impounded pending de+
cision, the dividend may be in danger.
1t is believed certain that il the court
holds that the company shall be entitled
TO charge the higher rate. and thus
make available the $4,000, 900, the quar-
terly dividend Of $1.75 will be paid.

of the sale of American war material

Senator Glass (va.) and Senator
Simmons IN. C.), both Democrats,
contended that the Secretary had full
authority to refund the deferred In

Finance Committee. in charge OF the
BILL disputed this contention. Both he
and Senator Watson also argued that
the United States should not insist
that the refunded bonds bear the same
conditions as the American Liberty

said conditions in the world had
changed and that the present situation
should be taken into account in the re-

proved Of by the other interests. In

Oakland ENGINEERS
HONE CYLINDER WALL
innovation Said to Add Life
and Strength to
Machinery.

Probably the most unusual method
80 far devised for finishing cylinder
walls has been perfected by Oakland
engineers. II consists Of an original
process OF "honinR' the. cylinder
walls until they resemble the surface
Of a polished mirror.
Cylinder walls are usually reamed,
rolled or ground. 1t Is only when
photomicrograp phs are taken OF the
four processes - reamed, rolled.
ground or 'honed" that It II clearly
seen how superior are the smooth
walls obtained by the honing process.
The Oakland honing process is
simply the usual honing process as
sociated with razors and high-grade
steel, adapted to a machine operation.
A series of carborundum honing
stones are mounted on the outside Of
a cylindrical fixture and held against
the surface Of the cylinder by indivi-
dual springs. This affords a floating
construction in which the stones are
in a flexible position. without exert
ing injurious force against the
cylinder walls.
1t is declared this method obvfa tes
one of the alleged weaknesses of the
grinding process. When the honing
fixtures come up against a point. 1t
has cushion-action. As a result.
even surfaces Is attained and the
cylinder bores can be held within
very close limits.
Previous TO the honins. Oakland
cylinders go through four complete
operations: Rough boaring. second
boaring. third boaring and finished
reaming-the last step of 'honinx'
being added by Oakland engineers to
insure lons-life, powerful cylinders
