A canvass of views of members of . the Senate on the subject of the naval limitation and Pacific and far east treaties emanating from the Washing- ton conference, completed last night, in- dicates: g 4 “ 1. I the Senate should vote on ‘the treaties tomorrow, they would be - ratified without exception, and all ex- cept the four-power Pacific treaty practically 'unanimously. The proba- bilities are that all of. the treaties will be ratified whenever they are voted on. 2. Such opposition as there is to the treaties.today centers about the four-power pact, and this treaty is likely to lead to considerable debate. 3. A reservation to article II cf the four-power pact, somewhat similar to the reservation adopted by the Sem- ate to article X of the league of nations covenant, is likely to be adopted. As has been said, the opposition in the Senate so far is centering about the four-power pact. The naval lim- itation treaty is expected to receive practically the unanimous support of the Senate.

A half hour after the conference began Capt. David L. Adams of the Los Angeles police department, who has had charge of the police investi- gation, joined the other officials and Peavey. This was the first time that repre- sentatives of the three principal of- fices working on the case—that is, the police, the sheriff and the district attorney—had met in a joint confer- ence. Peavey has given several state- ments, including a very extended one taken by the police. All of his stories have had to do with the life of Taylor in the months that Peavey was em- ployed by him and with occurrences surrounding the finding of Mr. Tay- lor's body, bearing a revolver bullet wound, in the director’s home here last week. 3 ’ Investigate Jealousy Theory. The taking 0f a new statement un- der the circumstances existing today was deemed to ean that further in- vestigation of the sheriff’s theory of jealousy as a possible motive for the crime was to be made by all the offi- cers employed on the case. Other than the examination of Peavey, apparently little of impor- tance happened today in the murder iry. lnqplz::” left the office after having been closeted with the officials about an hour.

The soldiers’ bonus legislation is go- ing to be passed up to the Senate by the House, possibly this week or sure- 1y next week, according to present sentiment in the House. Just now there appears to be a deadlock be- tween the conferees representing the republican members of the House ways and means committee and the republican members’ of the Senate finance committee. Senator Smoot is understood to be blocking an agree- ment, leading a fight against the pro- Posed tax on undistributed profits of corporations. ' Frlends of the soldiers’ bonus leg- islation in the House, with strong support from the ways and means committee, are not in a mood to be balked. They are now endeavoring to have a party caucus called. During this week it is very likely that the democratic members of the ways and means committee will be called in, and there has been some talk of a demo- cratic caucus on the bonus bill also.
