Senate Foreign Relations
Committee Debates Anti-War
Treaty Without Taking Vote.
FILIBUSTER ACTION
IS NOT ANNOUNCED
Reed Joins Moses in Demand for
Adoption of Interpretative
Resolution.

The Kellogg multi-lateral treaty re-
nouncing war was debated for another
hour and half by the. Senate foreign
relations committee today. No vote was
taken. The committee meets again at
1890 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The discussion today was referred to
as Legitimate" by committee members.
If there was suspicion of filihuSter
against action on the treaty in the
minds of any of the committeeman it
was not publicly declared today. Much
of the time was given to consideration
Of the plan proposed by Senator Moses
of New Hampshire, for separate inter-
pretative resolution. Critics of the kel-
logg treaty--no one admits he is an en-
emy Of the pact-are insisting that the
Moses resolution shall be reported along
with the treaty and adopted in the
Senate.
Senator Reed of Missouri had prom
inent part in the debate of the treaty
at today's meeting He stands with
Senator Moses In favor of adoption of
the interpretative resolution, which to-
day was before the committee for the
first time.
Some Expect Vote Tomorrow.
Some of the committee members
spoke hopefully of vote of the COM
mittee tomorrow on the resolution on
the treaty. 1t is expected that the first
test of strength will come on a motion
to report the treaty with or without
reservations. The interpretative reso-
luton, while it would not have the
same standing as reservation, is re-
garded by proponents Of the treaty
much in the same light and as pro-
claiming to the world reservation.
They do not believe reservations are
needed, but that the rights OF the
United States have been Safeguarded,
in the correspondence leading up to
the signing Of the treaty. and in the
treaty itself
Senator shipstead of Minnesota, Far
mer-L Labor. was called to the White
House today to discuss the treaty with
President Coolidge. Following the COM
mittee meeting today, Senator Ship
stead, who has been counted as one OF
the critics of the treaty, II not an op-
ponent. said that he had not yet
fully determined what his course would
be in regard to the pact.
Eight Pacts Reported.
He said he thought some Of the pro-
visions of the Moses resolution were
superfiuous but indicated that others

WOMEN'S BUREAU
LOSES COURT FIGHT
Citizens Win Injunction in
House of Detention Loca-
ton Dispute.

Southwest citizens today won their
fight in the District Supreme Court to
prevent the continued use OF the apart
ment at 9O8 B street southwest as
House of Detention Justice Jennings
Bailey granted an injunction asked by
William K Wimsatt, 9l0 B street south
west, against Nina C. Van Wrinkle, chief
of the Womens Bureau, and the Dis
trict Commissioners. The defendants
noted an appeal to the Court of Appeals
and the question whether they may
continue to occupy the premises pend
ing review by the appellate tribunal was
left for further determination.
Justice Bailey sustained the conten-
ton of Attorney George E. Sullivan,
counsel for the property owner, tnat the
zoning regulations apply to the District
of Columbia as strongly as to the
humblest owner, and as the area in
which the building is now located is
zoned residential its use as House OF
Detention is banned by the regulations.
The courts decision is in accord with
his previous ruling about two years ago,
in the case of the Western High School
athletic field While that decision was
reversed in the appellate court it was
because that tribunal held that an ath-
letic field is necessary adjunct to a
school building which is allowed to be
constructed in residential areas.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Alex
ander H. Bell, jr., asked the court to
set out in the decree that its operation
should be suspended until the appellate
court acted, but this proposal was op-
posed by Attorney Sullivan, and action
was deferred.

ABOARD u. S. S. CHEWINK, off
Block Island, r. l., December 1.-THE
submarine S-4, death trap of 40 men
off Provincetown just year ago, was
sunk again today, this time deliberately.
The Navy, which had fitted her re-
conditioned hulk with new lifting hooks
or Dead Eyes" wished to test this and
other apparatus designed to save future
seamen from death, and accordingly the
crewlesS S-4 was sent to the bottom OF
Great Salt Pond, a land-locked bay off

Standing by the submersible as it
was sunk were Coast Guard control
boat, the submarine tender Chewink
and the submarine rescue ship Falcon.
The experiment was undertaken in
favorable weather. Only slight wind
was stirring and the water of Great Salt
Pond was calm about the scene of the
operation; several halndred yards fr0m
the shores of Block Island.
Naval experts directing the experi-

LONDON. December 1.-THE Boliv-
-Paraguayan conflict is causing
anxiety to the British government. No
body is inclined to exaggerate the i'm
portance of the conflict from the mill
tary point of view.
The conflict is not regarded as i'm
portant on account of involving other
nations i'll war. A conflict between the
Macedonian comitadjis and Jugoslav
gendarmes is more likely to cause in
ternational complications with far
reaching results than the present Boliv-
an-Paraguayan row.
What is worrying British statesmen is
the question: What is the United States
going to do in case the League of
Nations tries to force both belligerents
to obey the Leagues order to submit the
dispute TO arbitration by the League?
In other words, this is the first test case
of the Monroe doctrine versus the
Society of Nations. Both South
American republics are members of the
League, and so far they have not fol-
lowed Geneva'S injunction to settle the
dispute amicably.
