Macdonald Fights to Get
Treaty Signed Today.
Wins Victory in Vote.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, August The proposal
of Prime Minister Macdonald to sign
forthwith the treaty between Great
Britain and Soviet Russia, which
was drawn UP by the Anglo Russian
conference yesterday, drew a vigor-
Gus attack from the opposition when
debate on the question was resumed
in the House of Commons today.
The premier refused to yield one
inch to the onslaught and finally
scored a victory when an amend
ment proposing adjournment of the
House until tomorrow for further
discussion of the question was de-
feated by 157 to II. The offensive
of the opposition at times produced
acrimonious language and bitter
comments.
Il want to sign the treaty today"
was Mr.. MacDonald's challenging re-
ply to his opponents. He added that
the House would be free to consider
the treaty, to amend 1t, to pass II or
to reject it
However. the premier said, he in
sisted upon signing the treaty i'm
mediately. The debate was opened
by Sir Robert Horne with an attack
on the premier's procedure and
Characterization of the treaty as an
Illusion. Meantime, in the House OF
Lords, Mr. Marquis Curzon made an
address along similar lines.
This is a fake-a contract in
which every essential figure is IeTt
blank" exclaimed former Premier
Lloyd George last evening in the
course of a sharp criticism OF the
proposed agreement. His phrase fs
indorsed by the majority of the
morning newspapers, which fully
share in the amazement with which
the Conservatives and most of the
Liberals received the announcement
by Arthur Ponsonby, undersecre-
tary for foreign affairs, that com
mercial treaty and a general treaty
had been arranged with the Sovlets-

toward problems affecting the wage
worker and farmer.
when the eight-hour law for rail-
road men was passed in 1916 the Off
Gals OF the railway organizations
feared that 1t would not stand the
test of the Supreme Court; that was
made evident by the fact they had
declared a strike on the members of
the brotherhood to take effect In the
early part. of. 1917. The manner in
which John w. Davis prepared and
n,srs pnessnted ,n tss.,s the Ssae to the Supreme
resulted in a favorable decision that
came just in time to prevent the
threatened strike. This attitude of
nina has been backed up by the
action of the Democratic party in
Federal legislation during the last 80
that the wage workers and farmers
have demanded, but 1T has placed
upon the statute books more weft
thought-out constructive legislation
that opened the doors of opportunity
to wage workers and farmers than
attempt to enumerate them, which
would only be refreshing your mem
ory on what your official records
show.

that he is best qualified to do it. He

tracted wide attention, but he does
not seem to have the faculty of con-
solidating his contentious into con-

people. In addition to that he has
allowed himself to be placed in the

President, in a letter made public
today. declared he is not a member
of the Ku Klux Klan and never
was a member. The letter was
written in answer to one sent to
Mr.. Davis by Devere Allen, editor
OF the World Tomorrow, a maga-
zine published here
= According to Thomas j. Spellacy,
manager cf the Davisl Eastern
campaign headquarters, Mr.. Allen
in his letter called the attention Of
Mr.. Davis to the charge that the
nominee was a member of the Ku
Klux Khan, and asked specifical-
ly If this was true. Mr. Davis re-
Piled:
I'm reply to your letter which
has been brought to my attention.
I answer the question in the same
direct manner you have put it, by
saying I am not, never have been
and will not become member Of
the Ku Klux Klan. ..-

my position on the great question
of religious tolerance too plain for
any misunderstanding or dispute"

Constant wrangiins.
The examination of the witness led
to constant -wrangling between Mr.
Grove and the veteran defense coun-
sci chief, and Judge Caverly left his
chair. leaned far over the railing
about the bench, and, in low-pitched
voice, made a long ruling as to the
admissibility of the evidence the de-
fense was trying to bring out.
Schrayer testified that he REGARDED
Loeb as abnormal, that Loeb was not
permitted the responsibility of being

Loeb was a good book student, but
apparently did not seem to have log
ical common sense, and was rather
impracticable.

examination and asked II ne did not t
recall having made statement 10
the States attorney htat he regarded
Loeb as perfectly sane and normal.
Are you normal?" asked MIR.
Grove.
Il don't know" replied schrayer.
Judge warns Court.
The courtroom broke into loud
laughter and Judge Caverly arose
and warned that any further out
break would result in clearing the

court

censored Loeb for drinking,

Mr.. Grove brought out that for
two and a half months before Loeb
was accepted into Schrayer's fra
ternity he was watched closely, as
is usual, to determine whether he
would make an acceptable fraternity
man. and that nothing to render Loeb
unacceptable was noticed.
Schrayer denied that his fraternity
pledge bound him to aid Loeb under
>he present circumstances.
Girl Friend Testtnes.
Miss Lorraine Nathan, former friend
of Loeb. was the next witness.
a small black hat. white stockings
and slippers, she appeared even
younger than her announced age of
Is. She was slight; with brown hair
and blue eyes. Loeb stretched far
out of his seat to watch Miss Nathan
as she testified.
Miss Nathan said Loeb was Just a
school-day friend and that since
June, 1923, she had noticed a decided
change in his denleanor.
She said that upon one occasion
when Loeb had called at her home he
had poked his thumb into al the
rolls on a plate trying to find the
softest one. She said she regarded
that as idiotic, but that her sister had
called it "cuchoo."
Miss Nathan referred to many oc-
casions on which she. had regarded
Loeb's behavior as ."babyish" and ''ir-
rational" The petite witness, ap-
parently suffering from stage fright
as she ascended the stand, gradually
recovered her composure and an
swered questions in a low, musical
voice. She refrained from meeting
Loebs stare.
Miss Nathan's conclusion that Loeb
had appeared "infantile" was strick-
en- from the record. She said she had
not seen Loeb since May s, last.
Miss Nathan denied she was fond
of Loeb, admitting she once had been
fond of him and thought he had liked
her.
