SENATORS DELAY
CONFIRMING STONE
Further Inquiry Into Morgan
Estate Case Sought by
Opponents.

Confirmation of the nomination of
Attorney General Stone to be an as
sociate Justice of the Supreme Court,
is being blocked in the Senate to per-
nit further inquiry into a case in
executors of ]. Pierpont Morgan
Senator Overman, Democrat. North
Carolina, who had the nomination
held up for a time in the judiciary
committee has been joined in his re-
port for delay by other senators, in
cluding Senator Hefiin, Democrat,
Alabama.
Mr.. Stone appeared for the exec
utors some years ago in the Supreme
Court in a suit brought against James
A. Ownbey, a mining man of Colo
rado, after action had been brought
in the Colorado courts and before
there had been final action there.
Senator Hehin said today the record
showed that not only has Mr.. Ownbey
been denied any hearing in the Della
ware courts, where he appeared in
answer to a writ, but that at one time
when he sought to protest against a
statement of facts in the action he
was removed from the court by a
bailiff.
After the executors nau thrown
Ownbey's company into the hands Of
a receiver in Colorado. declared the
Alabama Senator, they had then
brought further action to obtain
Judgment under an ancient Delaware
statute which had been invoked only
a few times in history.
Administration leaders, nevertheless,
are confident the nomination will be
confirmed at an early date, probably
in the first executive session to be held
next week.
Senator Overman plans to deliver an
address reviewing the record of the
Morgan case and Senator Hefiin, prob
ably will do likewise. Senator
Walsh, Democrat, Montana, who
asked for further delay in the COM
mittee, said today, he would inter-
pose no further objection, as he saw
no ground on which the nomination
should be opposed.
The nomination of Charles 3.

General in place of Mr.. Stone is now

Chairman Borah expects to call to-
gether in few days.

During the hearings the committee
was told that a reduction of the pres
ent rates. which vary under different
conditions, was absolutely imperative
IL some OF the roads owing money to
the Government are to avoid serious
financial consequences.
Under the bill reported the Inter
state Commerce Com mission would
be given authority, when a road ap-
piled for a reduction, to inquire into
the case and, if circumstances war
rant, certify 10 the treasury that a
reduction of interest Is necessary

Upon receipt of such notice, the
Treasury would ascertain the aver

rate plus one-quarter per cent on the

BORAH TALK SHOWS
SPIRIT OF CONGRESS.
UnWilIingneSS of France to
Settle Debt Is Source
of Indignation.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The prompt reply made by Senator
Borah, chairman OF the Senate foreign
relations committee, to Louis Marin
of the French Chamber of Deputies
indicates the temper OF the American
Congress with respect to the non-pay-
ment by France OF her war debt
For a fortnight the tension which
followed the speech of the French
finance minister. NJ. ClementeI, has
been eased by the expectation that
the French government would present
formal proposals to fund the debt
owed to America. 1t needed only the
spark furnished by Deputy Marin to
set off another blaze of congressional
Indignation. While it is true that NJ
Marin represents the minority in the
French Parliament, nevertheless his
theory comedies so with what infor-
mally has been expressed as the true
French idea about the American debt
that Congress is not drawing much of
a distinction between majority and
minority opinions across the Atlantic.
France Expects Concessions.
Ever since the war the contention
has been made by French statesmen
and publicists that because France sac
rificed more human lives than did
America, the latter should either can
eel or scale down the three and
half billion dollars borrowed by
France from the American taxpayers
The French have naturally taken 1t
for granted that a nation which could
send overseas two million men and
raise unparalleled sums of money
merely to serve the general cause
of democracy would not hesitate to
fur
speCt to war debts
What the French do not understand
Is the change in Washington itself
toward Europe. 1t is not generally
appreciated in Paris that France it
self Is as much responsible for the
change In opinion on this side of the
Atlantic toward war issues as any al
legged materialism in America The
refusal of France for several years
to listen to the appeals from America
for settlement of the reparations
problem, together with the French at
titude of opposition to the reduction
of land armament, has alienated many
of her friends in Washington. Premier
Poincare is as much responsible as
any French statesman for the es-
arrangement.
Directed at Mandates.
AHeTe are Ie" men IN congress
today who feel that the war accom-
plished what it's slogans claimed
were the true objectives of the con-
hict and this is particularly true of
the battle cry "No annexations and
no indemnities," which stimulated the
American imagination shortly before
America entered the war. The spec
tacle of quasi annexation, whereby
German colonies passed into the con-
troll, if not the exact possession OF
the French at Versailles, has not been
forgotten, and Senator Borah, in his
speech, has just made articulate a
spirit of criticism about the mandate
system which has been brewing for
the last five years.
When the French contend that they
have made large sacrifices in man
power there is no let-up in the SYM
