SENATE SANCTION OF HPONER PACT New.Snarl Develops as Op- ponents Open Fire on Two Supplements. ADMINISTRATION LEADERS . ALTER PLAN OF ACTION Drafting Separate Resolution of Ratification—Immigration Issue Brought Up. The four-power Pacific treaty and ts two suppleme sot into such a up in the Senate vesterday that administration fication pro- Eram temporarily was tied in a knot and the leaders hurried ino confer- nce to draw up a new plan of cam- ign. Challenging the validity of Friday's action by which the four-power pact itself was ratified, opponents of the treaty suggested that the vote be yreconsidered so that the ratification rcould include the supplementary in- terpretative agreement signed by the Plenipotentiaries at the same time. e Further Action Advisable. At first the administration leaders refused to recognize apy merit in the suggestion, but after several con- ferences they decided that some fur- ther action was advisable. Most of them opposed the reconsideration plan, proposing instead/ a separate ratification vote on the supplement. Such a separate resolution of rati- fication was in process of drafting when the Senate adjourned Throughout the day's debate the [reaty oppouents sought to give point to their arguments by emphasizing {that the supplement deals with issues ‘which long have been sources of fric- ition between the United States and Japan. Tt declares it to be the under- standing of. the signatories that the treaty shall apply to mandated is- lands in the Pacific and that purely domestic questions shall not be brought' before the four-power con- ference for “consideration and adjust- ment.” Immigration Bogey Hovers. any times in the debate the ques-| tion of Japanese immigration into the Tnited States was mentioned as a “Jomestic™ American question-which might be a fruitful source of trou- ble, scnators on both sides agree- ing that no doubt ought to be left that the American government retains. full power to deal with the subject as 1t sces fit. Those who asked for a reconsideration contended that unless the validity of the supplement were established clearly Japan might claim the privilege of referring the whole immigration problem of the Pacific coast 6 a meeting of the pow- ers.

Hitcheock Takes Ll!‘. As soon as it was called up at the outset of the session, Senator Robin- son, democrat, Arkansas, offered an .amendment to exclude also the Island of Sakhalin, but neither the geo- graphical supplement nor the pro- posed amendment to it was mentioned thereafter in the day's debate. Late in the day, when debate on the do- mestic issues supplement had died down, Senator Ransdell, democrat, Louisiana, took the floor and occu- pied the remainder of the session with a speech supporting the naval treaty and advocating an efficient merchant marine. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, rank- ing democratic member of the foreign relations committee, took the lead in demanding Senate action on the domes- .tic issues supplement and in challenging the validity of the vote by which the iSenate Friday ratified the four-power tereaty. The supplement, Senator Hitch- %®cock contended, was either a proper part of the treaty and required Senate {approval, or else it was not binding and Jeft the problem of domestic issues-in a *dangerous” situation. He recalled that before yesterday's vote he tried without seuccess to get the supplement included lin the ratification resolution. Democrats Rally About Him. These arguments were supported by Senators Pittman, democrat, Nevada; Swanson, democrat, Virginia; Robinson, democrat, Arkansas, and others, Mr. Swanson declaring that to reconsider the treaty vote and include action on the supplement “is the only way this government can get a guarantee that the immigration question is not to be ~within the scope of this treaty.” aral times they raised again the ques- wion of why the supplement, signed at 1he same time as the treaty, was not jncluded in the body of the treaty it- self. Senator Lodge of Massachuetts, the sepublican leader and an arms con- Yerence delegate, maintained that the decclaratory supplement Wwas not in Fact a part of the treaty and did not yequire Senate approval. He des- fcribed it as merely an Interpretation of the treaty by the signatory gov- ernments, and asserted that even if jt didn't exist, domestic questions never could be brought within the scope of the four-power arrange- ment.

By the Associated Press ; MIAMI. Fla. March 25.—Pilot Robert Moore of the ill-fated Miss Miami returned to consciousness in a hospital here tonight. He charged that he alighted on the water so close to a fishing vessel that he could read the name on it. but that it failed to heed his trantic signals and and passed on by. “I only ask oné thing,” he said. “That is that God allows me to live and hunt the captain of that boat.” cries H MIAMI, Fla. March 25.—Nursed by a woman whom he believes to be his mother and whom he refuses to per- mit to leave his side, Robert Moore, pilot of the ill-fated Miss Miami, which sailed out of here last Wednes- day with six persons aboard her nev- er to return, lies in a hospital to- night in a state of delirium, more dead than alive. Moore was taken off the tanker Eillllm Green early this morning, as she passed here, by a sub chaser. All during last night he was tenderly cared for by Mrs. J. Williams, wife of an official of the Pan-American Petroleum Corporation, who was a passenger on the ship. This morning, when the relief boat pulled along- sile the big ship, Moore refused.to %o without her. When reassured that she would be there, he finally per- mitted himself to be transferred to the smaller craft and brought to a hospital here, where another woman took up the task of trying to pacify his wandering mind. Piece by piece during the night and day, Moore has revealed the tragic story of his awful experiences, cling- ing two days and two nights to the ‘wreckage of the lost fiving boat. No Trace of Bodies. No trace had been. found tonight of the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. August Bulte and Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence E. Smith of Kansas City, and Mrs. J. S. Dickson of Memphis, Tenn.,, who one by one gave up their lives as the struggle became too much for them. Moore's statements while aboard the tanker were retold today by the captain, Charles A, Wachsmuth. I was about forty-one miles off the East Indian inlet,” said Capt. Wachsmuth, when, just about dusk, I sighted “what appeared to be a human figure feebly waving his arms a mile off the starboard bow. We drew close until we could discern a man who appeared to be lashed to a spar. We hove to, launched a boat and rowed out to the rescue. A heavy sea was running, and it was no easy task, but, after considerable culty, we managed to get him aboard. He was lashed with a piece of rope about his neck and another piece about his waist, and was totally ex- hausted. «“As we cut him loose he murmured, ‘I'm sorry to put you fellows to so much trouble’ Then he became un- conscious. “We found that he had attached himself in some manner to an over- turned fiying boat. The exact loca- tion in which he was picked up was latitude 27.38 north, longitude 79.33 west. The time was 6:30 p.m. “We undressed him and placed him in my cabin, where he was cared for through the night by Mrs J. Wil- liams, a passenger. ‘4 “We found that his entire body was blistered and burnt, and that his lips were so badly swollen he could not open his mouth. His eyes, from the salt water and blazing sun, were in such condition that at first we thought he was blinded, but after Mrs. Wil- liams had bathed his.face he seemed he U5, WARNS ALLIES AGAINGT ‘JUGGLING' ARMY COST FIGURES New Note Declares America Will Not Be Deterred From Pressing Claim. QUESTION OF A DEFICIT NOT TO AFFECT STAND Supplemental Document Forestalls Paris Suggestion of Error in Our Calculation. The American government has sent to the allied powers another® note supplemental to that recently dis- patched and designed to support its | claim for equality with those powers | in the payment of costs arising from the Rhineland occupation. | The new note, copies of which were presented yesterday to the British. French, Italian, Belgian and Japanese governments by American diplomatic officials in the capitals of those na- tions, declared that whether or not there should be a deficit in the French account for its occupation army costs as of May 1, 1921, the claim for equality on the part of the United States woyld not thereby be affected. Plain if Not Diple: The American government in its supplemental note, in words char- acterized by one official as plain if not diplomatic. notified the allied gov- ernments that no juggling of book- | keeping as regards the Rhineland oc- cupation costs will deter the United States from pressing what it con- siders a just claim. High State Department officials, in making public the new note, ex- plained that the original identic notes delivered to the five allied pow- eors early last week stated that ac- cording to -information and accounts in posscssion of the American govern- ment it appeared that the amount due to France for its occupation army costs to May 1 had been paid in full, as had costs of the armies of Bel- gium and Italy. Recent dispatches from France, it was said, had in- timated that the American govern- ment made a mistake in saying that France had been paid in-full, and the supplemental note delivered yester- day was designed to forestall any such suggestions. Text of New Notes. tie. The text of the supplementary notes follows: “In its note of March 22, 1922, the government of the United States stated that according to the infor- mation and accounts in the posses- sion of tho allied governments, ft appeared that the amount due to France for its army costs to May 1, 1921, had been paid in full, chiefly | through deliveries of property. “The government of the United States is now informed that it is pro- posed to postpone the debit to France for the value of the Saar mines as though delivery were made in kind during the year 1922. This government does not deem it to be necessary at this time to enter into questions relating to debits or credits in the account or to consider the effect of the postponement of the debit for the value of the Saar mines, and all questions of this character are fully reserved. “It is deemed to be sufficient to say that it is the view of the gov- ernment of the United States that the question whether or mot there would be a deficit in the French account for army costs as of May 1, 1921, upon a’ final agreed statement of that account is a matter which does not affect the position of this government with respect to its right to receive the payment of the actual cost of its army of occupation upon an equal footing with the allied powersa.” RECOGNITION FOR SOVIET LLOYD GEORGE'S PLANK Premier Expectefi to Urge This at Genoa if Parliament Shows Confidence.

C, GERMANS REJECT ALLIED WAR BILL Terms for Payments Due in 1922 Declared “Utterly Unacceptable.” By the Associated Press. BERLIN, March 25.—The German sovernment's reply to the recent of the Reparations Com- miston will be forwarded to Parls before the meeting of the Genoa economic conference. It will as- mert that the 80,000,000,000 marks plementary tax levy iy a finan- eial and techmical imposaibility, Snd dive will reject the proposed Snancial comtrol by the commis- siona. spatch to The Star. NEW YORK, March 25.—A special cable to the New York Tribune says; The German cabinet at a meeting today decided to reject the revised war bill payments for 1922 as framed by ths allied reparation commission and dispatched from Paris Tuesday. At the direction of Chancellor Wirth, a note is being drafted to be sent to Paris probably on Monday, advis- ing the reparations commission that the conditions laid down by the com- mission as the basis upon which the allies will concede a moratorium on part of the payments due in 1922 under the terms of the treaty of Versailles and the London ultimatum are utterly unacceptable to Germany. The German communication will inform the commission that the guar- antees demanded encroach on the sovereignty of the German republic and therefore will not be granted. The note also will contend that it is impossible for the Berlin cabinet to impose additional taxes of 60,000~ 000,000 marks this year in addition to the present levy of $8,000,000,- 000 marks, and that this phase of the reparations commission’s note cannot be complied with. New Propesals to Be Drafted. The German government will' set forth & new set of proposals to the commission outlining the payments which Germany is able and ready to make and explaining why it is im- possible for Germany to accept the commission’s program. In view of the ten weeks allowed Germany to reach an understanding with the allies and to meet the terms agreed upon, it is hoped in govern- ment circles that some concessions will be won from the reparations com- mission immediately. What attitude the cabinet will assume toward the threat of the commission to reimpose the original schedule of 1922 pay- ments and use force to collect this bill is not known, but in political circles there is considerable doubt whether Chancellor Wirth could weather the storm that his acceptance of the allied demands wéuld arouse. The cabinet's note, now in prepar: tion, is the chancellor's first break- away from his policy of fulfiliment of Germany's obligations. 2 Demand of Allles. . | Under the reparation commission's program ‘of demands Germany would pay in 1922 720,000,000 gold marks SUNDAY MORN MARCH : You CANT GET IN.IT'S z LOCKED OUT. |WOMEN OF BALAKS RUN THE GOVERNMENT AND THE MEN LIKE IT By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. First units of the new prohibition navy are in actual operation some- where along the Atlantic coast. it was learned yesterday on high offi- cial authority. Officials continue to withhold plans for the sea attack on rum smugglers H by the submarine chasers operated by the prohibition bureau, on duty in Florida waters, and that others were cruising farther north. Officials indicated that as rapidly as additional subchasers obtained from the coast guard can be put into commission they will slip out to sea under sealed orders to join in the proposed rum patrol along the At- lantic coast line. Lieut. R. L. Jack of the coast guard, the “admiral” of the prohibition fleet, is to have direct charge of the op- eration of his miniature warships, it was stated officially, but he will function under E. C. Yellowley, chief of general prohibition agents, who will bear somewhat the same rela- tion of the prohibition navy that the chief of operations in the Navy De- partment does to the country's sea forces. Commissioner Haynes, it was un- derstood, was waiting until the new prohibition enforcement arm was in full swing before making any state- ment, in order to avoid the possibil- ity of information reaching the ears of the liquor-laden enemy. Two plans are being considered by the Treasury for extending the sphere of operation of the prohibi- tion fleet beyond the three-mile limit. It is proposed, according to high officials, either to make the prohibi- tion agents aboard the subchasers special customs agents or to assign regular customs agents aboard each of the prohibition ships. Secretary Mellon, it was thought, would probably favor the latter method and guthorize the customs di- vision to designate a man for duty aboard each of the rum chasers. ‘Without customs authority, officials explained, the prohibition fleet could not operate outside the three-mile limit. Customs agents, however, are empowered to board ships bound for this country far as twelve miles at sea. - LENIN, SERIOUSLY ILL, MAY HAVE T0 RETIRE By Cable to T Star and New York Tribuse.

ROCKVILLE, Md., March Rockville, long known as a Gretna Green, will be hard hit, so far as the issuance of marriage licenses is concerned, if a bill now pend- ing in the legislature is enacted into law, as now seems highly probable. The measure has al- ready passed the senate and its .passage by the house of delegates and approval by Gov. Ritchie are expected within the next few days. ] The measure requires all couples not residents of Maryland to wait forty-eight hours after application before they will be issued licenses to marry. As something like two- thirds of the 700 or more couples who obtain licenses here each year come from outside of the state—a very large majority from the District of Columbia and Vir- ginia—the enactment of such a law is certain to very greatly diminish Rockville'’s marriage-li- cense business and. incidentally, deprive Rockville ministers of op- portunities to make much easy money by performing marriage ceremonies. i The bill is state-wide and does not apply to residents of Maryland. Its sole purpose is to prevent run- away couples from getting mar- ried in Maryland and thereby save many of them from ill-advised marriages.

Two supple- mentary reports were filed with the main report, one being submitted Jointly by Judge L. C. Barley and C. Keith Carlin and the other by J. Ran- dall Caton. The committee's report states that during the past twenty months Judge Moncure has been on the bench of the corporation court, and up to the pres- ent time, 807 divorce suits were dis- posed of and 193 cases were pending in the court; that the committee heard oral testimony and that the scope of the inquiry was enlarged, and they submitted the following: “Making due allowance for the sit- uation in our city on the north edge of the state and its easy accessibility to a large city; the national capital,” where there is only one ground for absolute divorce, “yet the number of divorces steadily increasing, in the last two years, is utterly astounding. ) Same Law for Years. “Practically the same law relating o divorces has existed In Virginia for years.

UNDERPAID Survey of Schedules in 48 Com- munities Prepared in Pamphlet Argument for Increase. Further plans in their campaign to have the new teachers' salary bill passed by Congress, at this session. will be made by school authorities and the steering committee of the teachers’ council, at a confegence to- morrow afternoon in the Franklin School, it was announced last night by Supt. Frank W. Ballou. All data and arguments which the school officials will use before con- gressional committees to point out the need of new salary legislation for the teachers will be assembled at this conclave. The first hearing at which the officials will present their argu- ments, will be before the Senate Dis- trict committee April 3. Convinelag E: The most conclusive evidence of jence. | the urgent need of passing the new salary bill, acording to the officials. is contained in a pamphlet published ! by the National Education Asociation which will be submitted to the Sen- ate committee. This pamphlet shows the salary schedules of teachers in | forty-eight cities of the United States and was prepared under the direction of Dr. Ballou, Dr. E. G. Kimball, su- pervising principal, and Allan Davis, | principal of Business High School and president of the Teachers' Council. Information for this pamphlet was sought from all the cities in the United States with over 100,000 pop- Replies were received from Twenty-eight of the thirty-three cities with popula- tion in excess of 200,000 replied. Eleven of the twenty cities not reply- ing have population of 150.000. The information, therefore. the officials declare, is clearly representative of | the salary situation in cities of over 100,000 population. A comparison of minimum salaries of teachers in grades from one to eight, the pamphlet shows that eleven jof the forty-eight cities pay more than Washington, twenty-one pay the same and fifteen pay less. A com- parison of the maximum salaries in this group of teachers, forty-five of the forty-cight cities pay more than Washington and two pay less. Salaries of Principals. The comparison of the minimum salaries of principals of elementary schools shows that Washington pays less than thirty-three cities and more than six, if the eight-room building principal's salary is considered. If the twenty-room building principal's salary is considered, Washington pays less than thirty-six of the cities and more than three. A comparison of the maximum sal- aries for the principals of elementary schools shows that Washington stands last in the list of forty-three cities. The comparison of the minimum sal- aries of directors of special subjects shows that twenty-three cities in a list of thirty-one pay more than Washing- ton and one pays the same and six pay less. The maximum salary comparison shows that forty-nine cities of a list of seventy-three pay more than Washing- ton, three pay the same, and twenty pay less. The comparison of the minimum sal- aries of junior high school teachers in twenty-two cities shows that seventeen pay more than Washington, three pay the same and one pays less. The max- imum salary comparison for the same teachers in twenty-three cities shows that thirteen pay more than Washing ton and nine pay less. Other Comparisons. The comparison of thé minimum sai- aries of principals of the junior high schools with fifteen cities shows that ‘Washington pays less than eleven and more than three. The maximum salary comparison for the same group shows that of seventeen cities listed, thirteen pay moro than Washington, and three of divorce were based on sufficient evidence, and”that the one year’s dom- icile, together with the actual resi- dence when suit was brought, was established by the evidence. “His attention was specially called to the questionable domicile' of par- ties with Mrs. Baggett, wiio testifled or made affadavit in his court =o often in divorce cases. He continued to“accept Mrs. Baggett as a vitriess. In some cases there was only the slightest, if any, corroborating testi- pay less. The comparison of the minimym sal- aries paid the lower group of high school teachers in forty-seven cieies, shows that thirty-tiree of them pay more than Washington, and thirteen pay less. The maximum salary com- parison for these teachers, the same cities shows that thirty-two pay more than Washington and fiftcen pay less.
