SENATE ENDS
DISCUSSION OF
US. TREATIES
Approval of the Isle of Pines
Treaty and Lausanne
Action Final
WORLD COURT OVER
Won't be Taken up Until the
. Next Session of the
Congress
WORLD COURT OVER

Washington, Mar. 1.-the Senate
calendar stood cleared of all final
treaties today save only a decision
to return to committee the Lausanne
pact to reestablish diplomatic and
CONNIE rcial relations with Turkey,
with action thus going over until
the next session.
Prior to it's decision late yester-
day on the Lausanne treaty, after
the administration had redoubled it's
efforts to obtain ratification at this
session, the Senate ratified the
treaty recognizing Cuban sovereign
ty over the Isle of Pines. As ap-
proved 63 to Ia, the Cuban treaty
carried only minor reservations.
The World Court question also
has been definitely put over until
the next session under an agree
ment of yesterday to make it a
special order for next December.
The action Of Senator Borah of the
Foreign Relations Committee in
moving for the return to his COM
mittee of the Lausanne Treaty, re-
suited from a canvass of the Senate
situation which convinced him that
the necessary two-thirds majority
for ratification could not be had.
Chairman Borah was understood to
hold the view that the virtual solid
opposition of the Democrats would
result only in the rejection of the
treaty if pressed.

WHEAT MAKES WAVERINC START.
THEN TURNS RAPIDLY DOWNWARD.
in CHICAGO WHEAT PIT TODAY
Plunges Far Below Yester-
days Bottom Figures in
Trading, Dive Carrying the
Market Five Cents a Bushel
Under the Preceding Close

Chicago, March 14.-(By the A. P.)
Wheat made wavering start today
and then plunged downward far be-
low yesterdays bottom figure. The
dive carried the market five cents a
bushel under the preceding close,
May touching $1.62. Trade was Of
huge volume with reports current
that wheat at Liverpool was unsale-
able.
Wildness Of price fluctuations was
such that blackboards at times mark
ed up no changes of less than a cent
a bushel. From $l.62 the market
jumped back to above $1.66 within
a few minutes.
Excited dashes upward later took
place and before the rise was ended
the market had mounted to Sill for
May, nine cents a bushel up from the
days bottom, a short time previous.
The advance was based largely on
word that export business of one mil
lion bushels or more had been con-
firmed, that export purchases of
IiOui ONCl HiSHt WCIC IHdoc at ot.
Louis and reports that drought still
prevailed in Texas and that hauling
of water was necessary in many To-
calities.
After May wheat had reached $1.71
some thing of lull took place and
as the buying furry died down
prices slowly dropped back. A half
hour before the close the market
was poised at s169 for May.
Revival of export buying led to a
decided upturn in wheat prices to-
day after severe fresh decline. The
difference between the low and high
levels today was 9 Ia cents. Clos
ing prices, although firm, were at a
reaction from the top, but at l 1-2
to 3 cents net gain with May $1.69

CONTROL OF
FLOODS HELD
BIG PROBLEM
Flood Control Methods in Red
River Valley Are Out
lined Here

The engineering of the forces of
nature in connection with the pro-
posed establishment of flood pro-
lection in the Red River Valley
"will prove relatively simple as
compared with the engineering of
the human element affected by the
relief plan," f. V. Willard of St..
Paul, Minnesota Commissioner of
drainage and waters, told members
Of the North Dakota Chapter, Am
erican Association of Engineers
here.
Mr.. Willard spoke on "Flood Pro-
lection Problems of the Red River
Valley"
ITO determine and levy assess
ments of benefits in a project af-
fecting similarly group of farmers
and landowners in an ordinary
drainage proceeding is one prob
lem," he declared. "To assess farm
ers, cities. water powers, townships
and counties-all within the same
project-each of whom may be af-
fected in a different way and all of
whom must be reconciled to accept
the same plan, is quite another af-
fair.
Application of Laws
"The larger the area involved the
greater is the diversity of human in
terests and the more complex be-
comes the problem. To one who has
had to do with the practical applica-
tion of the usual laws for the estab-
fishing of drainage and flood con-
troll improvements in average sized
areas, the task of reconciling the
varied interests along the main
streams and tributaries liable to be
affected within drainage basin
comprising more than $4,000 square
miles, affecting three states and
probably two nations, looms up as
stupendous enterprise"
Mr.. Willard discussed the prob
lens of flood protection in the Red
River Valley from the standpoint of
needed legislation rather than from
the strictly engineering features in
-volved. He pointed to the need of
legal machinery to enable the three
states, North Dakota, South Dakota
and Minnesota to act jointly, in the
practical functioning Of a project to
accomplish relief, and for the just
and equitable determination and
levying on common basis, of as
sessments of benefits and awarding
of damages to all interests liable to
be affected.
The speaker called attention to
the fact that while there are avail
able number of reports on plans
for the engineering of the forces of
nature, there is almost complete
lack of precedence to point the way
for procedure to bring togethe,
and harmonic the varying and con-
flicting viewpoints Of the human
element in project affecting three
states and embracing what he said
probably was a larger area than has
ever before been included in one en-
terprise.

Action Taken at the Request
of President Coolidge
To Leaders
TO NAME NEW MAN.!
Reported President Is Con-
vinced That Warren Can.
not be Confirmed
TO NAME NEW MAN!

Washington, March 14.--President
Coolidge asked today that a vote
on the nomination Of Charles B.
Warren to be attorney general be
deferred until Monday. This word
was taken to the capitol by Senator
Curtis of Kansas, the Republican
leader who had been summoned to
the White House.
Some Senators said the President
had been convinced the nomination
could not be confirmed and that he
wanted time in which to make an
other selection before the Senate
adjourned. There was no indica-
tion, however, that the President
would withdraw the nomination. On
the other hand, it was said, he still
was insistent that full statement
on Mr. Warren's qualifications should
60 into the record in reply to the
charges against him.
After conference with opposition,
Leader Senator Curtis said the vote
would 60 over until Monday.

Carpenter Lumber Company.
In later suit commenced
French e. Welch Hardware Com
pany. brought action against the
Woodrich Construction Co., for an
unpaid balance on account for goods,
hardware and paints sold and de-
livered to the latter, between May
/, 1923 and October 8th, 1924. The
language of the complaint leads to
the inference that considerable
amount Of goods were sold to the
construction company and that the
sum of $62S.11 is only the unpaid
portion thereof. Garnishment pro-
ceedings we're also instituted against
the city. Woodrich's contract has
been cancelled and the city is COM
pleting the intake.
The affidavits of the city auditor,
NJ. H. Atkinson in the garnishment
proceedings in both suits show that
the city admitted liability to the
Woodrich construction company on
Oct. 18th, 1924 of not to exceed
$19,0O0.0O and claimed as an offset
or defense "any defects in the per-
formance of the defendants Wood

pleted and the amount of which can
not be determined"
At the time the contract was
awarded to the Woodrich Construc-
tion Co. and ever since Commission

and manager of French & Welch

construction company.
