COOLIDGE GUESTS
DISCUSS TURK PACT
Members of Senate Foreign
Relations Committee Called
to White House.

The long-pending Lauzanne treaty
providing for resumption OF diplo-
matte relations between the United
states and Turkey. had been brought
out of relative obscurity today by q
White House dinner conference con-
cerninr its position in the Senate.
At the invitation of President Cool
Idge, members of the Senate foreign
relations committee discussed the
treaty at the White House last night
with Richard Washburn Child, who
represented the United States in It's
negotiation. The conference was said
TO have been devoted largely to a
presentation by Mr.. Child Of his views
as to the Importance of early Senate
action on the treaty, which has been
pending in committee for more than
year.
The Senators attending said the
President himself expressed no views
regarding the treaty, nor did they
give any opinion as to the proba-
abilities of action by the Senate,
where opposition already has devel-
oped that points to a long fight when
ever it is brought to the floor
No Mention of Paris Pact.
The Presidents guests said the two
hours and a half spent around the
White House dinner table passed
without mention of the Senate reso-
luton, adopted a few hours before,
calling on the State Department for
information concerning the Paris rep
arations agreement, or of the World
Court or other pending matters in
the foreign relations field.
Chairman Borah said that while he
expressed no opinion as to the pros
poets for Senate action on the Lau-
zanne treaty, his own view was that
proposals for American adherence to
the World Court should take prece-
dence. On this the committee chair
man has previously stated he be-
lieVed time would not be permitted
for final action at the present session
Mr.. Child, who was Ambassador to
Italy at the time of the Lauzanne
conference, and who has been a White
House guest for several days, told the
committee members that unless the
treaty was ratified the United States
would find itself under necessity of
negotiating an entirely new conven-
tion with Turkey under circumstances
which might be less advantageous
than prevailed at the time of the con-
ference.
Shipstead Not Invited.
Invitations to the dinner were sent
70 all members of the committee now
in Washington with the exception Of
Senator Shipstead, Farmer-Labor, of
Minnesota.
Besides Mr. Child, the guests We're:
Senators Curtis, Borah, Moses, Nc
C0rmick, Johnson of California, Will
lis. Pepper, Underwood, Pittman and
Shields and Alexander Moore, United
states Ambassador to Spain. SEN
ator Swanson, ranking Democrat of
the committee, was unable to attend
because of an engagement he had
last night with a delegation of Vir-
ginians. Senator Walsh OF Montana
sent his regrets at his inability to
attend, and Senators Robinson, Len
root, Edge, Mclean and Owen were
out of the city. Invitations to the
dinner did not go out from the White
House until o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon, and most of those who at
tended found it necessary to break
other engagements.

whom to nominate, the executive
likewise could not tell the senators
whose nomination they must approve
under the constitutional authority
reposei in the senate to advise and
consent with respect to presidential
appointments.
There was no further statement to-
day from the white house nor was
there any information as to whether
Mr.. Warren would accept a recess
in the event his nomin-
alton should be rejected again. Pres
ident Coolidge remained in WASH
ington over the week end with Mr..
Warren who is his guest.
The present situation. without
parallel since the administration of
President Tyler. was viewed by some
at the Capitol as one that might have
far-reaching effect on the future re-
lations between the executive and
the present senate.
Should Mr.. Warren accept a re-
cess appointment. he could serve
only until the senate again assemb-
led. His nomination then would
have to be acted upon by the senate,
and unless, 1t were confirmed he
could draw no salary for the period
uuilHS WHICH lie Il1Q served.
-Four hours have been set aside to-
morrow for debate in the senate be-
fore the vote is taken, with the time
equally divided between supporters
and opponents. President Coolidge,
in re-submitting the nomination,
made it clear to Republican leaders
that he desired Mr.. Warren's quail
fications to be fully spread upon the
senate record.
In the discussion yesterday Sen
ator Pepper, Republican, Pennsyl-
vania. mades an extended argument
on behalf of the presidents nominee,
and Senator Reed, Democrat, Mis-
souri,, an opposition leader, replied at
even greater length.
There were Indications tonight
that much of the debate tomorrow
would revolve around the constitu-
tionaI question which Democratic
senators insist has been raised by the
pronouncement.

appropriations for the fiscal year 1926
show "a large increase for peace-t time
governmental operations" and that the
reductions were brought about by the
decreasing cost of disappearing" war
agencies and not as the result of
economies"
The total appropriation of 1885,
921, 900 for 1926, Mr.. Madden asserted,
was S24.191,O00 less than the current
appropriation and he described the
S7,S9S,764, 900 appropriated at both ses-
sions of the 6Sth Congress as being
approximately sS0O,O00,0OO less than
was appropriated by the 66th. approxi-
matcly $3.50. 100000 less than by the
9th Congress.
Discussing separately the depart
mental bills, Mr.. Byrnes said the navy
was allotted in actual cash" for 1926
total of $51S,402.32S. as against
s27S,l75.460 for 1926. and s150,000,00O,
the largest amount ever spent In time
of peace for the maintenance Of the
navy, back In 1914"
This huge sum-" Mr.. Byrnes con-
tinued, when considered in connection
with the fact that there is balance
of authorizations of s172,560.000 for
alterations and increases in the navy,
emphasizes the Importance of another
more effective conference on the limi-
tation of ornaments and that the for
mer conference failed to accomplish
what the people believed" Mr.. Mad
den said the new postal salaries in
crease law. while recurring appropria-
ton of approximately s100,000.o00 for
the remainder of the fiscal year 1928
and for 1926, practically offsets this
amount through 1.-The additional reve-
nues anticipated under the law 1t
should have no appreciable effect on
the relationship of general receipts
and expenditures" he added.
Pointing out that Congress had re-
duced by S11.125.000 the budget bureau
estimates for 1926. Mr. Madden said
he wished to call attention to this be-
cause of "a more or less widespread
apprehension that Congress does not
and has not stayed within the limits
of the amount requested BY the presi-
dent"

JONESPORT AND
ABBOTT SCHOOL
WIN AT ORONO

Orono, March 14.--Little Jonesport
High and Big Green Hebron Academy
furnished the surprises in the finals
of the Maine interscholastic basketball
tournament here today. Jonesport
toppled Southwest Harbor in a Cruel
ling overtime match, 80 to IS, and
Hebron stumbled in the path of a
scrappy Abbot School five. losing an
expected toehold on the prep school
crown, IS to 20.
Little Jonesport High school pulled
the first great surprise OF the after
noon by winning the final and Juggling
off the high school championship
from Southwest Harbor so to 26 in a
five minute overtime game. The strug-
gle was even through the game with
first one team basket ahead and then
the other. the half ending IL all. Both
teams came back strong in the second
half and played each other to tand-
still. Wass and Gilley of Southwest
Harbor were well guarded and they
had hard job finding the ring. At
the end of the playing time the score
was "a to "a. The overtime period
was fast and furious, but the work of
Lamson and Worcester showed Jones'
port to the lead and Jonesport won by
two baskets.
Abbott upset the old dope bucket
for the second time to take over the
much touted Hebron outfit 20 to Is in
the last championship game of the
| tournament. Hebron was decidedly
the favorite at the start of the game,
but seemed tired from their previous
struggle. Abbott took the lead imme-
diateiy and played a great defense
throughout to keep ahead. The half
ended 10 to 5, in favor Of Abbott.
Pierce and Wheeler did excellent work
in the second half but were unable to
bring their team anywhere near the
fast travelling Abbott crew. Murphy
and Daley were the two men respon-
sible for the victory. although the en-
tire Abbott team deserved credit for
springing the unexpected.
The Hebron center, Pierce. was
picked by five judges as the most valu-
able player at the tournament and the
following All-Tournanhent teams were
selected:
In the preparatory school class:
Right forward, DAILY, Abbott School;
left forward, Morse. Hebron: center,
Pierce. Hebron; right guard, Wheeler.
Hebron: left guard, Murphy. Abbott.
