SENATE STILL
WRANCLES OVER
KELLOGG TREATY
BY PAUL r. MALLON
Omitted PISS Staff Correspondent

WASllINGTON, Jan. :. - Ncgo-
tiatiots seeking to end the senate :
hot dispute over the Kcllog anti
war treaty with Il compromise, m-
dcrtakcn hy senate leaders over the
week k-cud, accomplished nothing,
and the numerically small but high
powered opposition took up the cud
gel against the pact again today.
The compromise solution was Of
tered by senator James f. Watson
of Indiana, now practicinc to be
come senate leader after March /.
He got the opposing leaders togcth-
cr and proposed the reservations en-
bodied in the Moses Reed resolution,
explicitly eXcmpting traditional
American foreign policies from the
treaty, be written into an official
report by the foreign relations com
mittcc. In return for such a report
hr expected the opposition to ahan
don it's resolution.
Chairman Borah, who is cham
pioniug the treaty, was agreeable
enough 10 such a course "it it would
speed up vote ON the trcaty,' he
said. But Senators Reed of Missouri
and Moses Of New Hampshire, the
opposition leaders, frowncd ON the
scheme. They asked more time to
think it over,
The report proposed by Watson
would cmbody statements that the
Monroe Doctrine, as AN essential
part of American self defense, would
not in amy way be effected by the
treaty.
II the agreement can be affected
the treaty can be ratified without
further argument and the senate can
turn its attention to the naval
cruiser building bill. If not, the
debate may drag ON indefinitely.

 Middletown, April 15.-This city will see the end of local trolley lines shortly if the Public Utility com- mission acts favorably upon peu- ton soon 10 be submitted by the Connecticut company asking for per mission to substitute buses upon all the remaining trolley routes
 The petition will ask for substitu- ton Of buses on the Miadletield, West Side South Main, and Connec- ticut state hospital lines. If per- mission is granted 10 substitute buses the only trolley line in the city will be the interurban line 10 Hartford. which is not a local line.
 The reason for the change is that the city vii soon pave Mt. Vernon street, an important thoroughfare, which would force the company to make expensive track changes. Rather than meet this expense the company prefers to eliminate the tracks entirely and substitute the buses.
 The change from trolleys to buses in MiddletoWn has been gradual. Starting about two years ago the Meriden trolley was suspended and a shorter route followed by buses. Then the Portland division was changed 10 buses, combining with the South Farms line. Now comes the petition to eliminate trolleys on the remaining routes.
