SOUCEK ON GROUND.
Clear Weather Essential for
Altitude Flight Planned
by Navy Pilot.

An overcast sky threatened today
to hold up a final attempt Of Lieut..
Apollo Soucek to establish q new
worlds altitude record until early next
week The naval flyer prepared to take
of at the first favorable moment, how
ever, and II there is break for q few
hours the attempt will be made today.
Clear weather is essential for an alti-
tude flight.
Though there is possibility that his
flight to an indicated altitude Of $4,000
feet Wednesday afternoon will show a
new record when the checking Of the
paragraphs is completed at the Bureau
of Standards tomorrow, he was not
satisfied and planned Immediately to
go up again regardless Of what his
Paragraphs show.
Yesterday afternoon Soucek aban-
doned the metal propeller which car
ried him to a height of eight miles
above the earth Wednesday and made
a trial with huge wooden propeller of
nearly twice the blade area. The blade
was so large however that the power
full engine, which on Wednesday turned
up to as high as $500 revolutions per
minute, could not turn over at more
than 1850 revolutions and Lieut..
Soucek had extreme difnculty in getting
his Sppercharger to work.
At $4,000 feet, after he had passed
through two layers of clouds, he was
convinced that it was no use going any
further and he turned back to the field.
His final attempt is to be made with
the former steel propeller, with the
blades set, however, to a greater pitch,
so as to increase its effectiveness at the
top Of the climb.

BILL RECONSIDERED
Measure Affecting Jurisdiction in
Utilities Gases Had Been
Passed Under Consent.

The bill to curtail the power of the
District Supreme Court in passing on
decisions of the Public Utilities Com
mission, which passed the Senate early
Yesterday on the unanimous consent
calendar, was reconsidered later in the
day at the request of Chairman Capper
of the District committee and will be
taken up again.
Senator Capper explained that some
members of the District committee were
not aware the measure was being con-
sidered and had an amendment they
wanted to offer: Members of the COM
mittee have differed as to the wording
of the section defining the extent to
which the court should review evidence
taken by the commission.
Senator Glass, Democrat, of Virginia,
who favors the bill as 1t passed yester-
day, said he would not object to its
reconsideration If 1t is understood the
bill would be disposed of the next time
1t is reached on the calendar. Senator
Capper said Senator Blaine, Republican,
of Wisconsin wanted to have the Sem
ate consider an amendment to the
measure, and he did not believe there
would be any delay.

PACT FOES CLAIM
GAIN IN STRENGTH
Sponsors Still. Confident, but
Robinson, Indiana, Fore
casts Its Rejection.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
. Opponents of the London Naval treaty
today claimed voting gains, but Its
sponsors were still confident the pact
would be ratified.
Senators johnson of California and
Robinson of Indiana, Republicans, who
are expected to lead the fight against
the arms limitation agreement, made
claims of increased strength. Robinson
predicted the treaty would be rejected.
Meanwhile, procedural difficulties had
been smoothed over with the definite
adoption of the original plan for de-
batting the pact at q special session, to
be called by President Hoover as soon
as the present regular session is ad-
journed.
This program was finally agreed Upon
after three days Of conferences between
the Chief Executive and leaders OF the
various factions in the Senate, The
young Republican" group had been
considering an effort to bring the treaty
to a vote before adjournment.
BOrah Issues Statement.
Chairman Borafl of the foreign rela
tons committee, which has the pact
under consideration, was among those
who conferred with MIR. Hoover, and
he issued a statement last night saying
he had told the President that so long
as the Senate remained in session" he
would feel 1t his duty to urge the
treaty be disposed Of with all convenient
dispatch"
He went on to say he would begin
calling daily sessions of the committee,
%
soon as the testimony taken at the re-
cent hearings is available in printed
form and requested documents have
been received from the State Depart
ment.
SECRETARY Stimson, who was present
at the Hoover Borah conference, told
the Senator these papers would be
ready for delivery today. They were de-
manded by Senator. johnson, member
of the committee, and consist OF ex-
changes between Washington and Lon
don which led UP to the recent naval
conference.
johnson issued a statement last night
asserting members of the Senate should
be supplied with all available informa-
ton before taking action on the treaty
Correspondence Published.
ITO coerce action before they are
before every scrap of information and
every pertinent document is before
them should be resented" he said, mot
only by the foreign relations committee
but by every individual Senator"
The State Department published yes
terday the correspondence between this
country and Great Britain and Japan
regarding replacement of cIuisers, show
ing agreement between the three ma
lions on the subject.
The correspondence was initiated
upon suggestions made at Senate COM
mittee hearings on the treaty that notes
be exchanged removing the possibility
that Great Britain might replace g.
inch gun cruisers with 8-inch gunners
at time of obsolescence. .,r
Replies from both countries indicated
they concurred with the American view
that any replacement would have to be
made in the same gun power, except
that the British explained they had sew
eral ships carrying rs guns which would
be replaced with 6-inchers.

Special Guard Is Posted.

Special Guard Is Posted.
Despite Chinese tong uprisings in
other cities, reports that the trouble
might spread to the Chinese settlement
here were secuted by police and friends
of the rival leaders today.
No special precautions have been
ordered to guard against an outbreak,
police say, and the only change in the
regular patroling Of that section of the
city was the ordering Of the patrolman
on that beat" to make more frequent
trips into the 800 block of Pennsylvania
avenue where the Hip Sing and On
Leong longs have their headquarters.
Belief that the two factions might
rise IN a local war had been expressed
after reports of killings in Newark and
New York City and an attempted kill
ing in Chicago.

mander of No. station in the absence
Of Capt. Martin Reilly, who Is Ill in
