8orah Opposes Ratification
on the Ground That y. s.

BY WILLIAM Il. HUTCHINSON,
International News Service.
Brushing snty years Of
accumulated dust, the Senate to-
day began formal consideration of
the Isle of Pines treaty under
which the United States would
cede ownership of the island to
the republic Of Cuba. The treaty
would settle title dispute which
arose after the Spanish-American
war.
Five Presidents have occupied
the White House and ten new
Congresses have convened since
the late Theodore Roosevelt sent
the treaty to the Senate for con-
firmation-back on March 3, 1904.
For years, it laid in senatorial
|cubby-hole though some OF the
dust was disturbed two years ago
when the Foreign Relations Com
mittee reported it favorably.
Fate Is in Doubt.
The fate of the. treaty was in
doubt today because of the wide
split in opinion over its probable
effect.
One group, headed by Senator
Borah (Rep.) of Idaho, contended
the proposal would deprive hundreds
Americans of their property invest
ments on the island which les in
the Caribbean Sea off Cuba. An
other faction, led by Senator swan
son. Dem.) of Virginia, urged its
immediate ratification as an act
Of Justice to Cuba.
PARTY lines were broken in the
treaty's consideration. Borah was
supported by Senator Ralston DemJ
of Indiana, while Swanson was
backed by Senator Mccormick (RepJ
of Illinois.
The treaty, which was drafted by
John Hay, Secrtary of State in
Roosevelt's Cabinet, would relinqulsh
all claims of the United States TO
the island. m
This action was taken Gin con-
sideration of grants OF coal1ng ana
naval stations in the Island OF CUBA
heretofore made by the Republic
of Cuba to the United States" ac-
cording to terms of the treaty.
American citizens would be per-
mitted to retain title to their
property, to sell it or to carry on
business under the same laws ap-
plicable to other foreigners. The
Senate's disagreement arose over
this provision.
u. s. Property, Borah Says.
s'There Is no doubt but that the
ownership of the island rests with
the United States" said Senator
Borah. 1.-THE question is that
great many Americans made IN
yestments thcre when assured by
the War Department that it was
American soil.
THE War Department even is
sued a pamphlet inviting American
citizens to settle on the island ana
pointed out that the American land
laws applied there to settlers. These
Americans are not protected under
the treaty.

Hampden-Sidney College, which is

AS a matter of fact, Bernier has one

big institution to take smaller job
with small institution. Bernier be-
gan his athletic career at Hampden-
Sidney and went from there to Vir-

successful there and left. that school

athletics at University of Alabama
He was at Alabama for three years.

cast his lot with Hampden-S Sidney and
be back in a job in which he was

Immediately after the close of the

lefthander and has had enough pitch

Others may think differently. Here is
the way it works: Geore finds his ball

He decides that to lose q shot by
dropping out of the hazard will cost
him too much, and since he isn't too
sure of his shots, he does not like to
play out of the water. SO he builds q
mud dam upstream and in a few mo-
ments his ball lies ON the sand bottom
or mud bottom Of the shallow ditch,
