PRESIDENT 10 QUIZ HUGHES ON TREATY, ‘Army k d supply bases which :‘:::'vn and supply s ch ‘war ac 1 Will Communicate With Sec- retary on Senate Request on Four-Power Pact. While President Harding was pre- paring to communicate with Secre- tary Hughes today regarding the Senate request for further informa- i tion on the four-power Pacific treaty, | the Senate foreign relations commit- tee completed its preliminary read- ing of all the arms conference trea- ties except that relating to Yap and laid them aside without action until inext week. No serious opposition was revealed to the genmeral far eastern or Chinese tariff pacts, which were read by the committee at today's meeting, but there was considerable discussion of the provision of the naval limitation treaty fixing a forti- fications “status quo” in the Paclfic. { Committee members indicated that they would desire the advice of American naval authorities hefore they acted on’ the fortifications ar- ticle. Meet Agaln Moaday. Meeting again Monday, the commit- tee is expected to consider the Yap treaty and perhaps have before it at the same time the Presiden! reply to the resolution adopted yesterday asking for records of the four-power treaty negotiations. Mr. Harding is understood to have taken steps to communicate with Secretary Hughes, who has gone to Eermuda, after a visit to the White House today b; Senator Lodge, who was a member of the American delegation. Senators Johnson, republican, Cal- ifornia, and Borah, republican, Idaho, asked a number of questions at the committee meeting regarding the fortifications “status quo” agreement under which the United States pledges not to further fortify the Philippines and Guam. The California senator told his col- leagues that he desired further in- formation as to how the “status quo” zone was defined, and indicated that he would either ask for the appear- ance of American naval officers before the committee or for adoption of a resolution asking the executive branch of the government for the de- sired data. Chinese Tariff Discussed. Senator Borah also started a com: mittee discussion regarding the Chi- nese tarift treaty, asking whether its provisions did not infringe upon the sovereignty of China. He was as- sured by Senator Lodge that the ar- rangement was the most satisfactory that could be obtained at the present time, but there were indications that some further discussion would be necessary. ‘While they awaited word from the ‘White House on the four-power pact the committee members revived in their private consultations the project of a reservation declaring that the agreement could not be construed as obligating the United States to use armed force without the @xpress authorization of Congress. Several members, both republicans and democrats, were said to be lean- ing toward adoption of such a stipu: lation, and all agreed that much de- bate was in prospect, both within the committee and on the Senate floor. Treaties Under Consideration. The foreign relations committee at a meeting yesterday afternoon di termined to go ahead with the coi sideration of the other treaties, while the Senate awaits the reply of the President to the Hitchcock resolution calling for information regarding the negotiations leading up to the four- power Pacific treaty. The committee completed its reading of the naval limitation treaty and the aubmarine and poison gas treaty yesterday, with- out bringing to light any indication of opposition to these pacts. ‘When President Harding will reply to the resolution is uncertain, in view of the absence of Seeretary Hughes, who has gone to Bermuda. It is in- dicated, however, that action will be taken as quickly as possible because of the President’s desire to have ratification on the treaties completed without delay. Dgspite the attention temporarily given the other treaties by the foreign relations committee, Senate leaders have not altered their intention of bringing the four-power treaty up for ratification first. Ne Vote Taken. Although it completed reading the naval limitation and submarine treaties at yesterday's mieeting, the foreign relations committee did not take a vote regarding approval of either. It was indicated that com- mittee indorsement of none of the other treaties would be asked until the members were ready to act on the four-power pact, and that the whole group might then be reported to_the Senate on the same day. In order that the full sgope and intent of the four-power ‘eement might be understood, Mr. pu into the Senate record yesterday a copy of a note sent by the four sig- natory powers to Portugal and the Netherlands, declaring that the in- sul possessions of these two na- tions in the Pacific would be respect- ed in the same manner as those of the signatories are to be respect- ed under the treaty provisions. The note was sent on February 4, while the arms conference still was in session. Text of Note. The text of the note was contained odge from Secretary Hughe: “Referring to our conversations in -relation to the note given to the Netherlands government, 1 beg to say that the following is a copy of the mote which was delivered to the minister for forolgn affairs_of the Netherlands on February 4, 1922: “‘The United States of America have concluded on December 13, 1921, with the British empire, France and Japan a treaty with a view to the preservation of the - general peace and the maintenance of their rights in relation to their insular possessions and insular dominions in the region of the Pacific ocean. They have agreed thereby as between themselves to respect their rights in relation to these possessions and dominions. “‘The Netherlands, not being sig- natory to the said.treaty, and the Netherlands posseasions in the region of the Pacific ocean, therefore, not being_ included in the agreement re- ferred to, the government of the United States of America, anxious to forestall any conclusion contrary to the spirit of the treaty, desires to declare that it {a firmly resolved to respect the rights of the Netherla: in relation to their insular- poss sions in. the region of the Pacl ocean. “This is identical with not livered by the British, Fren Japanese ministers. “A_similar note was delivered to the Portuguese government.” YAP TREATY MADE PUBLIC. At the request of Senator Lodge, the republican leader, the Senate yes: terday removed the usual injunction of secrecy regarding the treaty be- tween the United States and Japan relating to Yap and other mandated islands in the Pacific. The treaty text, which heretofore had not been made public, follows closely the of the “points of agreement” announced by 'the State: Department during’ the arms conference. It provides that for cable and wirel purposes American and Japanese nationals shall have access to Yap “on & footing of entire equal- ity, recognises Japan's mandate over the former German islands in the Action by Senate Paves Way to REALTY BILL PASSED. . .

The Senate today passed the Hou: bill paving the way for the War De. partm to complete the scquisition of real estate at a number of COMPANIES WOULD n over durl lities during CONTINUE GAS RATE Hearing Before Commission - Also Relates to Present Pressure Conditions. The Washington and Georgetown gas light companies this afteroon requested the Public Utilities Com-: mission to continue the present rates for gas, at least during the balance of 1922. ‘When the hearing on gas rates ad- Jjourned at noon for recess the com panies had not yet reached the ques- tion of future rates, but Benjamin Minor, their counsel, stated that the company would argue for continu- ation of the present charges, Mr. Minor sald the gas companies feel that they are entitled to a re- turn of 8 per cent on the value of the property used in the public service. While present rates, if continued throughout the year, will yfeld less than 7 per cent, he saild the com- panies would ask that those rates be retained. At present householders pay $1.10 per thousand cubic feet for gas. The price for lunchrooms and other com- mercial establishments decreases as consumption’ goes up. Discuss Gas Pressure. The morning session of the hearin was devoted entirely to a dllwlllb: of gas pressure and means of improv- ing it in ocertain localities. James S. Mcllhenny, engineer of the | company, was the firsy witness. He sald that the pressure of gas in the District ranges from a minimum of two inches to a maximum of six inches, which, he said, is lower than in a majority of cities of the country. The average pressure schedule for the states, he said, is from two to eight inches, with a few cases from two to twelve inches. Engineer Commissioner Keller asked Mr. Mcllhenny about the effect of in- eased pressure on gas service, It is more satistactory to con- sumers,” the witness replled. “We have no comrlllnu from aigh pres- sure. The higher' the pressuro the more perfect Is the combui the quicker you can cook Therefore, it 18 more efficient.’ Walter C. Allen, secretary to the commission, took is: with the w. ness' statement about high pressure causing no complaint. He said the complaints which have come to t! commission have concerned high pressure, as if air were being blown through the pipes. 2% Mr. Mcllhenny then explained that as pressure in a gas main is i creased. consumers should adjust the flow in their burners by manipulatin, the stop-cocks at the burners or al the meter. Consumption of Gas. Mr. MclIlhenny said high pressure has no effect on the consumption of gas if the burners are adjusted. Pres- sure is now good, he said, but will be improved in some localities by the installation of mechanical equipment in & number of engine houses, which will register at the gas works t variations in pressure in the neigl 100 of the engine houses in ‘which this equipment is to be ed. As these variations are shown at the works the pressure can be promptly adGjusted, the witness sald. The company placed on the stand A. J. Battain. a pressure expert Philadelphia. He told the commission pressure conditi, Washington are good. He said he did not know of a city which intained o many stations to register pressure and thereby keep track of it. ‘William McK. Clayton, representing the Federation of Citizens’ Associa- tions, announced at the opening of the aring that he had ten ques- tions he desired to put to officials of the company during the hearing. Among them, in part, were the fol- lowing: ‘What are the business relations existing between the Washington and the Georgetown companies and the gas companies operating in nearby Maryland and Virginia? What efforts are being made by the Washington Gas Light Company to secura an increase in the 70-cent rate per thousand cubic feet now paid the extension of |, ‘WA product.
