was offered by Senator Swanson, Demo-

would be appointed q joint committee
of Congress to inquire into the collision
between the S-4 and the Coast Guard

now be sent back TO the House for ac-

It was made clear at the War De-

West Point remained entirely In the

Army officers in Washington feel it

Some officers say privately that serv-
ice feeling has run so high that an
Army Navy game this year might lose
much of its aspect OF good sportsman

Winans. since the Navy has forced
the issue over the eligibility rule to a

recede from his decision not to permit
the Army team to meet the Navy this

GERMANY BACKS
BRITAIN ON PACTS
Memorandum to League Fa-
vors General Obligatory
Arbitration.


BERLIN. January 27.-General agree
ment with the British suggestion to the
League Of Nations for regional pacts
to keep world peace Is expressed by
Germany in a memorandum sent to-
day to the Leagues security committee
meeting at Prague.
The German memorandum, however.
goes further by favoring unconditional
obligatory arbitration OF all juridical
disputes and urges arbitration even of
political disputes.
The German contention Is that Secur-
ity can best be achieved by providing
adequate machinery for composing Diff
ficulties between the nations without
recourse to war. Armaments then
would become unnecessary. the German
memorandum says.
(The British memorandum OF Janu-
ar. 10 cites the Locarno treaties as an
example Of q desirable regional pact
and says that the British government
looks forward 70 q gradual growth of
this system in the conviction that the
easiest way OF attaining universal Sc
curity Is FOR each state to provide it
self with the necessary guarantees in
that quarter where Its main interests
and consequently its principal danger
lie.D

Federal Officials Convinced
Bitumin0us Deadlock
Exists.

Convinced that a deadlock exists be-
tween miners and operators In tho
bituminouS coal fields of PENNSYLVANIA
and Chic. the Government has decided
not TO again initiate a move toward
ending the longest coal strike of record
According to the United Mine Workers.
10000 men are out in the States affect
ed. Other estimates place the number
on strike at not more than 60.OOO
More than month has elapsed since
an iiiconcluSive conference was held by
operators Of mines In PENNSYLVANIA and
Ohio. and representatives of the miners
union with Secretary of Labor Davis.
The strike Is still going on with little
evidence OF an end. according TO cor
reSpondencc brought to the attention
of the Labor Department
The present strike In the soft coal
fields. nearing the end of its tenth
month, has gone into the records a.
the longest strike affecting any con-
siderable number of miners In the
history of the coal mining industry
in this country. Although many oper-
ators, including some of the largest
operators IN .he two States. have
reached agreements with groups of
employees largely on the old wage scale,
the strike still continues without ap-
parent hope OF settlement.
Under the policy adopted some years
ago by the Labor Department for Gov
ernnent Intervention In similar cases.
the department cannot take action un-
til one SIDE or the other asks for arbi-
tration. The recent conference was
asked for by parties to the dispute over
wages ana was inconcluSive. The
Labor Department is now convinced
that the strike must be settled by agree
ment among the miners and operators

Recount OF ballots cast in six Penn
siyvania counties in the 1925 sena-
tor1al race between William s. Ware

Senate elections subcommittee.
The full committee decided late

sons contest petition. The reversal
came shortly after Senator Reed.
Democrat. Missouri. offered a reso-
luton asking the Senate TO direct its
committee to entertain the contest
Explaining the unanimous decision
OF the committee changing its previous
stand, Chairman Shortridge. Republi-
can. California, said the amended petit
ton filed yesterday by Wilson met the
objection of the committee, which was
that the charges lacked particulars.
The recount will include the ballots
cast in Philadelphia, Allegheny. Luzerne,
Delaware, Lackawanna and Schuylki!l
Counties, where Wilson charges con-
spiracy existed against him. His
amended petition asserted that the con-
spiracy included Ware. Thomas r Wat
son. sr.. chairman OF the PhiladeIpnia
Republican central committee: John j.
| Mckinley, committee treasurer. and
members OF the committee and Others.
He named also John G. Armstrong,
! chairman Of the Republican county
committee of Allegheny: other Pitts
ourgh committee officials and those Of
/ similar committees in the other counties.
Senator Reed hopes to have his cam
palgn funds committee also examine the
ballots in cooperation with the elections
committee and will ask the Senate for
that authority
Thus Senator-elect Ware is defending
his seat against two attacks, the Wilson
contest and Senator Reeds challenge of
ms credentials on the grounds OF exces-
sive campaign expenditures. Ware has
been denied the cath Of ofice on the
basis OF the slush fund committee re-
port. and should Wilson win his con-
| test he will win the seat also.

murder trial today when Judge Joseph

Capt. Kent vas told he must make
no mention OF any alleged forgeries or
the viii OF Mrs. Eliza A. Hill. In which

cused OF her death
Arguments today followed Harry's un-
expected appearance on the stand yes
terday when he told OF alleged abuse
by detectives at Seattle. The Jury was
excused during his testimony.
Hills counsel objected 70 Kent's
testimony being heard by the jury
citing numerous cases which had been
reversed because the defendant made
confessions under conditions similar 70
those 70 which he said young Hill was
subjected.
The State contended Hill made no
confession 70 the detective and Kent's
testimony could not be barred on that
ground.
Judge Davis said IL was his under.
standing that the Illinois law makes
a distinction between q confession and
q declaration OF admission, and he
