mo HOPE OF VOTE
ON NAVAL TREATY
UNTIL NEXT WEEK

WASHINGTON, July IA. U.P)-
President Hoover took hand to-
day in the Senate fight for the Lon
don naval treaty.
But while Senator Robinson,
! Democrat, Arkansas, one of the Am.
crican delegate to London, was ad-
dressing the Sena>c in support of
the pact, and urging its ratification,
Mr.. Hoover was Informed by Ma
.lority Leader Watson and Chairman
Borah of the Sena.e foreign rela.
tions committee there was no hope
Of vote before liext week.
Mr.. Hoover had hoped for ratifi.
cation last week and his anxiety at
the Senate's slow pace was com
municated to his spokcsmen at the
capitol. The present program is to
permit the treaty opposition to talk
itself out and to bring the pact to
Il vote the end o. neXt week.
To this end it has been suggested
that Borah, Watson and Senator Me.
Nary, Republican, Oregon, join with
Senators Robinson, Arkansas, and
Swanson Virginia, on the Democra-
tic side to outline bipartisan pre-
gram to which the senate would be
held by cloture if necessary, opposi-
tion tactics designed to force the
Gebate into fourth week probably
would be met ~ an effort to invoke
the cloturc rule, the United Press
was reliably informed.
Borah told Mr.. Hoover the real
problem confronting the treaty was
maintenance of 4 quorum. Tcle-
grams have been sent to all Sena.
tors within reach, requesting their
immediate presence to bolster the
administration in its fight against
a bipartisan anti-treaty minority led
by two Republicans, johnson, Cali
fornia, and Moses, New Hampshire.
The administration group is con-
sidering amendment instead of re-
lection of the Norris resolution,
which stipulates the treaty shall not
be subject to secret papers nor it's
provisions subject to prior interpre-
tations. 1t was pointed out today
the present wording of the resolu,
tions probably would prevent use of
the notes exchanged with Japan and
Great Britain to clarity replacement
clauses of the pact.

STOCKS RESUME
FORWARD MARCH

NEW YORK, July IA. U.R)-
Stocks resumed their forward march
impressively today in the face OF
continued unsettlement in wheat
and cotton prices and active profit
taking for the account of traders
who bought stocks for support pu'
poses during last weeks sinking
spells.
Accompanying the substantial i'm
provement in prices, which embraced
practically every group, was size
able increase in trading activity
Sales were well in excess Of the two
million share market, a volume
reached on only one day last week.
Moderate selling checked the rally
shortly before noon and again
around 2 O'Clock, but the trend OF
the market was distinctly upward
with best prices reached in the final
hour Of trading. Further ease in
call money, which fell to 2 per cent
from the renewal rate of 22 per
cent, aided the recovery.
Shortly before the close, Steel
common pushed through its early
high of 1925, a gain of nearly ?
points. Similar gains were made by
General Electric, Westinghouse and
Radio. Radio Keith led the amuse-
ments with gain of more than )
points.
Some of the hisher-priced issues,
such as Eastman Kodak, Columbian
Carbon, and J. +. Case, extended
early gains to as much as 10 points;
after breaking to a new low since
1914, July wheat led a recovery in
wheat prices, with closing values y
to 4 cents higher Cotton had an
other sinking spell, breaking 81
bale to the lowest levels since 1927
on news of the break i'll the

SAN FRANCISCO, July II. W.n
John Macdonald, waiter witness
in the Mooney Billings preparedness!
dav trials, will tell his story of repu
diation after the August primary, i
was announced here today in behal,
of Governor &. {. Young.
Macdonald s story, that he gave
false evidence when Billings and
Mooney were convicted of the 19lt
bombing outrage, in which 10 per
sons were killed, will be at an open
hearing, before Governor Young and
his advisory pardon board, the gov
crnor said.
Governor Young is a candidate fOl
reelection and in the primary to be
hold August % will contest with
Buron Fits, Los Angeles district at
tornev, and Mayor James Rolph Jr.
san Francisco, for the Republican
gubernatorial nomination.
1t is presumed that decision to dc.
lay the Macdonald hearing until
after the primary is with view OF
preventing the ease from becoming
an issue in the present campaign.
The Mooney Billings ease has been
a matter of bitter controversy in Cali
fornia ever since conviction of the
pair. Billings, tried first, was con
victed in 1916 and sentenced to life
at Folsom, and Mooney, convicted
in 1917, was sentenced to death but
the sentence later was cOmmutcd
to life Imprisonment at San Quentin
Out of Politics
Although Governor Young did not
mention the case I'M connection with
his candidacy for a second term, he
was quoted as saying that the affair
should be "kept out of politics.
In denying Moneys pardon ap.
plication, which followed supreme
court refusal to recommend pardon
for Billings, Governor Young sug-
gcsted that Macdonald be located
and returned to California so that his
reputation of his trial testimony
could be thoroughly Investigated.
Today, as evidence Of sincerity in
providing that "loop-hole' for
Mooney and Billings, Governor
Young wired Baltimore that he per
sonally was ready to pay all costs
of bringing Macdonald to California
and his return fare to Baltimore.
In view of Governor Young's in
terest in the MacDonald phase of
the ease, it is thought unlikely that
any attempt will ever be made to
prosecute Macdonald fer perjury
1t is probable that Macdonald will
appear before the Supreme Court az
well as before Governor Young and
the pardon board because the court
must act ON the Billings application
before it even reaches the governor.
California law provides that the
supreme court recommend Il pardon
for twice convicted men, such as
Billings. and that the recommends
tion be favorable before the COVER
nor may grant pardon.

Bill Is Harmful to State
BY UnIversal Service

The unprecedented threat of
Pennsylvania Republicans going
off the reservation to vote against
the tariff bill on final passage
troubled House leaders yesterday.
The threatened insurrection is
based on the belief Of many
Pennsylvania members of the
House that the ,Smoot- -Hawley bill
in its present form win do more
harm than good to the industries
Of their State. .'.7
The Senate cut the House rates
on most Of the important duties
in which Pennsylvania was in.
terested. such as aluminium, pig
iron, plate glass and ammonium
suIphate, and thus far the con-
ferees have shown no disposition
to restore them to the bill. In
some cases. as on the aluminium
rates, a compromise has been
reached. .......
On the other hand. high tariffs
have been imposed on manganese
and other raw materials essential
to the industries Of that State.
Several informal conferences
have been held by Pennsylvania
Republicans and it is under
stood that q protest has been
