TURKISH TREATY

Of SENATE
Quick Ratification Expected.
Accords Favored Nation
Treatment to U. S.
BY international News Service.

Congress will promptly ratify the
American-Turkisht treaty signed yes
terday at Lausanne, Administration
leaders declared today. With rati-
fication will come the resumption
of diplomatic and commercial rela-
tons between the United States
and the new Nationalist govern
ment of Turkey.
The chief points in the treaty,
which had been approved in detail
by the State Department some time
ago, will be to relieve American
commercial interests in Turkey
from unfavorable local laws and
regulations. and will rescind the
Turkish governments recent decree
abolishing capitutations and provide
foreign legal advisers whenever
Americans or other foreigners are
arrested or imprisoned in Turkey.
The treaty accords most favored
nation treatment to Americans, ex-
empts nationals of each country
from serving with military forces
of the other.
With this much-discussed treaty
out of the way until Congress con-
venes in December, Secretary of
State Hughes announced today he
would hold no further conferences
with newspaper men until next
week. Inability of the Secretary of
State after several conferences with
the President to obtain something
definite about the policies Coolidge
intends to adopt in dealing with
pending foreign questions is said to
be the reason for the discontinuance
of Secretary Hughes daily confer
ences with the press.

sci for the defendant, who opened
for the defense. Both speakers were

tons.
Anders Speaks One Hour.
Anders spoke for one hour. He
gave a resume of the events lead
ing up to the trial, beginning with
the day upon which Mrs. Kepner
was found in her room, shot

was in possession of evidence which
would prove conclusively that Mrs.
kepner was killed by her husband.
The prosecutor went into a de-
tailed account Of Kepner's alleged
double life during the past two
years.
Anders declared that an examina-
ton of Kepner's finances showed
them to be in deplorable condi-
ton. He said that between So 900
and $4,000 were outstanding IN
notes, which were signed both nv
Mr.. and Mrs. kepner.

CITY
VIII Receive Chiefs Body in
Darkness of Night and in
Deep Sorrow.
By PHILLIP A. ORNrE.

Not under garish daylight, but
befttingly wrapped in a moonless
and probably clouded night, the
train forming the funeral couch
of Warren Gamaliel Harding will
move slowly into Union Station
about II o'clock tonight.
Through Love of Mourning.
This word came from officials at
the terminal this afternoon. Hour
by hour, they studied reports show
ing that the progress of the black
draped special was being increasing
ly retarded and that not until the
sun had been long at rest could the
last stretch of the weary transcon-
tinenta1 pilgrimage be passed.
It is as though the long, drab
train had run into a cloud of sor-
row too thick to pierce. The speed,
at behest of Mrs. Harding, has
fallen below the so miles an hour
which she desired as a maximum,
and ever more slowly the great To-
connective and eleven vestibuled
sleepers roll ponderously over q
road-bed thanked by groups of 81
lent mourners. Over the lines
of the Baltimore and Ohio the spe-
cial traverses a portion of Penn
sylvania and approaches Maryland.
Forgetful of her own crushing
sorrow, Mrs. Harding has decreed
that the mute thousands along the
right-of-way, shall be given oppor-
tunity to have their reverent regard
Of the trailing car in which rests
the guarded coffin.
Thus, the Capital which greeted
the twenty-ninth President on
brisk and sun-flooded March day
in 1921, will take him back for a
last tribute under pail of black
ness and amid shroud of silence,
save for the sounding dirges OF the
Marine Band.
Cloudy weather with probable
local thunder showers is forecast
by the Weather Bureau for tonight
and Wednesday.
Whatever the hour or the skies,
this, the most austerely mournful
cortege the long-historied city Of
national pomp and circumstance has
known since William Mckinley, the
dead chieftain's fellow-statesman,
was borne into it, assassinated, will
find the people waiting.
Capital DOns Black.
Arrangements as carefully forlnu-
lated and as instinct with solemn
respect as could obtain in the case
of a monarch have been made or
the reception of him whose pride
was his oneness with the citizenry.
Washington, the heart Of a
democracy Of 10000, 900, is to show
that an inherent nobility clings to
the rites of republics as to those Of
empires.
The Capital is donning its black
today. Along Pennsylvania avenue,
whose lifetime, like that OF men, has
known the passing of hosts Of sor'
row. Joy, triumph-yes. even panic
in the days Of '61-is putting up
it's shutters and unfurling It's
crepe. Flags. dull in the fitful sun
light. lift heartlessly from mid-staff,
to droop again as though aware Of
their sad proclamation. Men so
about their tasks heartlessly.
