say when he would submit the Root compromise to the senate for rati- 1 fication. He did not mention the
 Root formula itself, directly or in directly.
 Submission of the proposition ne
 gotiated abroad by Elihu Root, eminent jurist would certainly lead to an old fashioned senatorial row, the republican leaders believe. Sev- eral republican senators already have signitied their intention of fighting the compromise which. they assert, changes the original terms of ad-
 herence.
 Under the Root proposal the
 United States may withdraw from the court in event a question is sub
 mitted to it's jurisdiction which this
 nation refuses to submit to arbtra- tion. Withdrawal is the only weapon
 reserved to prevent submission of undesirable questions to The Hague
 tribunal.

 Fear Delay
 At present, republican authorities are afraid the supply measures may be delayed at the session opening December l, Under the constitution this congress expires automatically March 4. Unless the government appropriation measures are passed by that date, MT. Hoover would be forced to call an extra session of the new congress which ordinarily would not meet until December 1881.
 The new congress, elected last week, is so closely divided politically that Mir. Hoover's friends would re- gard it as a calamity if he should be forced to call it into session before its regular time
 Ignored Formula
 This situation is given as the req son why MT. Hoover omitted any promises about the court in his Armistice day speech. He endorsed the proposition Of American adher- ence in general terms but did not

Process to Protect
Crumbling Statues
Sketched by Expert
Bacteria, Frost, Acids and
Salt Attack New York
Museum Works.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 1.-Curative
methods for saving priceless Gothic
sculptures of the Metropolitan Museum
OF Art from the ravages of bacteria
and atmospheric enemies were described
yesterday by Prof. Colin G. Fink of
Columbia University.
The sculptures have suffered more
deterioration during their 20-year stay
In the New York, Prof. Fink said, than
was caused by storms, earthquakes and
conquestS of six centuries in France.
The attack agencies, which are bring
ing rapid disintegration to stone build
ings in all parts of the city, were
listed by Prof Fink as bacteria, frost,
acids and salt.
Prof. Fink, who has been given
charge Of the care and treatment of
the valuable works of art at the
cloisters, said his treatment will begin
with a careful cleansing to eradicate
the bacteria and free salts and acids in
the quarterback layer of stone that
is decomposed. This will be followed
by an alkaline wash to give immunity
for about year to attacks of acids.
The third stage will be treatment with
melted paraffin and beeswax to pro-
tect the surface.
