TREATY DISPOSAL
ASKED BY HOOVER
President Indicates He Wants
Action Taken on Naval Pact
Before Adjournment.

By the Associated Press.
President Hoover gave the word today
that he wanted the London naval treaty
disposed of by the Senate before adj
journment.
At conference with Senator Wat
son, the Republican leader, who was
warned that the pact might go over
until the next session, the President
made it clear that he wanted prompt
consideration.
Watson informed the President that
if the treaty is reported to the Senate
from committee before the tariff bill is
enacted, it would be acted upon at this
time.
He emphasized, however, that the
membership was worn out from IL
months of almost continuous session
and that unless 1t was brought up be-
fore other business was concluded ~
session.
The treaty proponents moved today
to speed its consideration.
Chairman Borah of the foreign rela-
lions committee said he would be ready
to conclude the hearings tomorrow so
far as he was concerned.
At today's session of this committee
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania. one OF
the American delegates during the Lon
don Naval Conference, disclosed now

TWO-CENT CAR FARE BILL
FOR PUPILS PROMISED
Committee Members Go on Record
Commencing Noonan for Efforts
to Aid Children.

The bill to merge the street car
companies went down to defeat today
when the House District committee,
which had the bill in charge, voted IL
to to postpone consideration in
definitely. Practically full committee
was present when the vote was taken
and the committee room was crowded
with spectators, although there were
no representatives of either the street
car concerns or the Public Utilities
Commission present. These were all
at the District Supreme Court waiting
for the argument on the 10-cent car
fare case.
That case has been delayed since
Monday, but it was said this morning
that it would come up tomorrow.
No Debate on Motion.
As soon as the committee was called
to order today, Acting Chairman Clar-
ence Mcleod, Republican, Of Michigan,
called up the merger bill. Representa-
tive Hull, Republican, Of Wisconsin.
moved that consideration be postponed
indefinitely. There was no debate,
seven Republicans joined the four
Democrats present in defeating the bill.
Three Republicans voted against MI.
Hull's motion. Those in favor OF the
motion were: Republicans, Lampert,
wisconsin,; Hall. Indiana; Blackburn,
Kentucky: Sullivan, Pennsylvania; Pal
mer, Missouri; McClintock, Ohio, and
Hull, Wisconsin. Democrats. Norton,
New Jersey; Palmisano, Maryland; Tar
yer, Georgia, and Patman, Texas.
Those voting against the motion, all
Republicans, were Bowman, West VIZ
ginia; Reid, Illinois, and Stalker, New
York.
After the vote Mr.. Mcleod announced
that he would introduce bill to reduce
car fare for school children to cents
separately from the merger bill. The
2-cent school children clause was one
of the controversial features OF the
merger bill. This was strongly urged
by John J.. Noonan, former stock
holder in the washington Railway &
Electric Co. After the vote was taken
several of the COMMITTEES members
asked to be recorded as warmly COM
mending Mr.. .Neonan for his efforts IN
behalf Of the school children.
Charged stock Jobbing Scheme.
Although no reference was made to
1t today. Mr.. Hull conducted his ngnt
against the merger on the proposition
that it was stock jobbing scheme
sponsored by the North American Co
Of New York, which owns the majority
of the voting stock of the Washington
Railway g. Electric Co. and also owns
some stock in the Capital Traction Co
When informed of the action of the
committee, John H. Hanna, president
of the Capital Traction Co., said that
the committees action was what he
had more or less expected" He said
that the action of the committee would
not make any difference in the street
car outlook here as far as he could
tell. Further than that he would not
comment.
william r. Ham, president Of the
Washington Railway 81 Electric Co.,
said: II guess I'd better not comment
on that"

EQUATOR TO BE TEST.
Climatic Conditions There New Problem
For Graf Zeppelin.

For Graf Zeppelin.
LAS PALMAS, Canary Islands, May
q (P).-The Graf Zeppelin, flying from
Seville, Spain, to Pernambuco, Brazil,
today pushed steadily across the East
Atlantic toward the Equator, where the
high temperatures and unusual climatic
conditions are expected to subject 1t to
one of its severest tests.
There were three groups Of land
between it and its goal, the Cape Verde
Islands, $50 miles southwest from the
Canary Islands, which the Graf passed
before dawn today: st. Paul Islet, a
mere speck in the middle Of the Allan
tic, and Fernando do Noronha, just east
of pernambuco.
Delayed already by contrary winds, 1t
was expected that the dirigible might
suffer other delays in veering out of the
path of local storms which beset the
tropical area and in taking advantage
of what winds the area might ener.
There were, besides, other technical
problems connected with operation OF q
balloon which now confront the ships

time.
