Coincident with the taking up by the House today of the postal pay and rate increase bill passed by the Senate, it was declared at the White House that President Coolidge looks to the House to take steps to fix the rates on a scale sufficlent to provide revenues to meet contem- plated expenditures. The "President has been advised that the bill as it passed the Senate would increase revenues from the postal service by approximately $47,000,000, or even less. This figure has been held in some quarters as not sufficinet to meet the pay in- crease. Senate Bill Before House. The House took up the Senate bill today with the purpose of sending it back to the Senate, the position being takon that the Senate had no right to initiate revenue legislation.

HIGH GRADE, BUT NOT HIGH PRICED SYRON S, ADAMS, Litxzee, TWO QUAKES RECORDED. Location of Disturbances Felt Here Is Undetermined. The seismograph at Georgetown University recorded two earthquakes yesterday, both of which were de- scribed by Father Torndorf, the uni- versity selsmologlst, as “pronounced,” but whose distance he had difficulty estimating. The first quake began at 8$:56 a.m. reached maximum intensity at 9:21 and subsided at 10 o'clock. Father Torndorf estimated that its center was about 4,200 miles from Washing- ton. The second began at 3 p.m. and continued until 4:30. Its distance was placed at 6,600 miles. Father Torndorf said no shocks such as &hose reported from Cornwall, Channel Islands and along the coast ! of Brittany had been recorded by his ¢ instruments, J THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1925. COURT PLANTOG0 TONEXT CONGRESS Action on Protocol Consider- ed Unlikely at This Session, Experts Agree. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Charles Evans Hughes 1s doomed to leave the Secretaryship of State without realizing his hope to take the United States into the World Court. Elimination of the administra- tion's world court proposal from the Senate steering committee program for the remainder of the session practically Dostpones action until 1926 It will be two years on February 24 since ~President Harding, through Secretary Hughes, submitted the original court proposal to the Sen- ate. President Coolidge resubmitted it and in all of his messages to Con- Bress has urged fits adoption. But the Senate, despite administration control, has not moved. There are suggestions that the ir- reconcllables, who are more powerful in the foreign relations committee than in the Senate as a whole, have SWOIR & YOW not to permit the World Cour protocol to be ratified while Mr. Hughes is Secretary of State. Wheth- er Mr. Kellogg, If and when he es- pouses it, will have any better luck remains to be seen. If Mr. Hughes desired to leave office laurel-crowned as far as the World Court is con- cerned and considering it the climax of his constructive record, he is to be cheated out of that glory. Only a senatorfal miracle can vouchsafe it to him between now and March 4. Proposal on Calendar. Contrary to popular understanding, the World Court proposition is before the Senate proper in the sense that it s on the calendar. It can be called up for debate and disposition at any time. What the forefgn re- lations committee reported out for that purpose Is the resolution Intro- duced by Senator Pepper of Pennsyl- vania. The purport of this resolution is to supplement the Coolldge-Hughes proposal with conditions that shall leave no manner of doubt that the United States in adhering to the World Court in no way, shape or manner “entangles” itself with the League of Nations. The Pepper reso- lution was adopted by the foreign re- lations committee as a substitute for the Democratic resolution fathered by Senator Swanson of Virginia. The Swanson proposition would in effect carry the adhesion of America to the court under the conditions submitted by the administration. Hold Senate Indifferent. Supporters of the Pepper resolu- tlon clalm that it is indifference, not intrigue, that is responsible for in- action on the World Court in the Senate. They contend that anybody at any time can ask for a vote, but, as nobody does, they insist there is plain evidence that nobody is suffi- clently concerned to do so. If the administration were fired with any crusading spirit in the matter, lead- ers‘like Senator Curtts or Watson .or Butler,. it is explained, would force action. But evidently inspiration or instigation from the White House is not forthcoming. So, barring de- velopments which nobody foresees, the World Court foundling will be de- posited on the doorstep of the Sixty- ninth Congress next Winter a neg- lected bairn of more than 2 years of age, Treatles Apt to Go Over. Two other major forelgn profects fathered by the Coolldge administra- tion seem likely to go by the boards, along with the World Court, as far as the expiring session s concerned. They are the so-called Lausanne treaty with Turkey and the German commercial treaty. There is violent opposition to the Turkish treaty from the “Friends of Armenia,” in America, headed by former Ambassadors Morgenthau and Gerard. Before the, treaty could be reported out, hearings would have to be held on it, and there is enough op- position in sight to make either con- slderation or passage before March 4 impracticable. Secretaries Hughes and Hoover | were this week in executive session with the foreign relations committee on the German commercial treaty. The Senate steering committee has put the treaty on the preferred list for consid- eration during the remainder of the session, but conclusive action is not certain in the brief interval between now and March 4. There has been no excessvle speed on Capitol HIIl in deal- ing with the German pact. It was sub- mitted to the Senate by President Cool- idge as long ago as December, 1923. Pact With Rumanin, Snags also have arisen in connec- tion with the administration’s extra- dition treaty with Rumania. Ques- tions of capital punishment and the soverelgn rights of American States are involved. Rumanfa does not im- pose capital punishment for murder. Under the treaty, certain objecting Senators point out, the State of New York, for example, which inflicts capi- tal punishment, might hand over a convicted murderer of Rumanian clt- 1zenship to his own country, with the result that he might be spared his life, Other treaties which have not been reported out by the foreign relations committee include a trade mark treaty with a group of Central American countries, a treaty with Great ~ Britain with reference to American rights in Palestine, and a treaty with the Netherlands concern- ing the Island of Palmas. The present session of the Senate has .ratified the Hughes anti-liquor smuggling treatles with Great Britain, France, the Netherlands and Panama. It also concurred in the arbitration convention with Sweden and in a treaty with Guatemala and other Central American states pro- viding for common inquiry and amicable adjustment on the occasion of controversies with the United States. Three other treaties to which the Senate gave Its constitutional dvice and consent” concerned our relations with the Dominican republic and a treaty with Great Britain pro- viding for extradition from Canada of violators of our narcotic laws. If the session ends with a less ex- tensive record of senatorial ratifica- tions In the forelgn affairs realm, authoritles say it will be due to the preoccupation of both the adminis~ tration and Congress with domestic affairs. That condition is sald to be ominous of what the future holds in store. The future, it is asserted, will be distinguished in ever-increasing degree by concentration on matters of more direct concern to the aver- age American than issues as far afleld as The Hague or the Near East.

Weston Writes Inaugural Committee He Sees Storm Coming From Lakes to Pour Rain Here's the first weather forecast for Inauguration day—and it bodes ill for part of the festivities, at least. L. H. Weston of Brightwood Sta- tlon, writing to Col. Fred S.

He was found guilty on two counts. He was sentenced on the first count to be committed to the Washington Asylum and jail for 60 days, and on the second count to pay a fine of $100, or, in défault, to be committed to Jjail for 30 days additional. The record presented showed many con- tinuances, and that on December 4, 1923, execution of the sentence on the first count was suspended, and that a personal recognizance in the sum of $100 was entered for appear- ance in the Police Court, and the de- fendant placed on probation for a period of~one year.: Mr. Pickett's statement -sald that the case was continued. 12 times—in other words, delaved. , Seemingly Mr. Lansburgh was at- tempting . to perfect an appeal, but we cannet learn from the record that he everdid jhis” he sald. No Record of Case. “Nearly a year after he was sen- tenced, ‘the defendant, never having served a day in jall, had the execu- tion of sentence on the first count suspended, but we are unable to find that the sentence to pay a fine of $100 or serve additional time was ever suspended or executed. Robert I Miller, attorney for Mr. Lansburgh, told the committee that he had recommended clemency to Judge McMahon on account of Mr. Lansburgh's age, the fact that he had an invalld wife and a son who was a profesfor in a college, but that the Jjudge had told him it was no use to make this appeal. The many con- tinuances in the case, Mr. Miller sald, were not at fils request, and the final action of the dourt was taken with- out notifying him, although he was attorney. Mr. Miller sald that he was conwinced “influence” had been brought to bear on the judge, but he was unable to say how. Mr. Miller also told the committee that he-had gepresented two soldiers who were selling Pershing buttons on Pennsylvania ,avenue, who were ar- rested and brought before Judge Mc- Mahon, ‘who finéd them $50 each. Mr. Miller sald that he told the judge the men had just come back from France and that the judge said he didn't care where they came from. Mr. Miller said that he himself paid the fines, Says Sentiment Rules. “If the judge does not like the po- lice officer or the lawyer who brings the case before the court,” said Mr. Miller, “the officer or lawyer has no chance.” Other witnesses who appeared against Judge McMahon were Dr. A. C. Dinwiddle, who declared that the feeling is great that the Police Court is not In sympathy with the enforce- ment of the prohibition law. He said that when police officers come into court the feeling is they are going to be criticized and the law violator will get off easy. A briet for the W. C. T.

Dr. Clarence True Wilson of the board of temperance and public moarls of the Methodist Episcopal Charch, sald that he ‘had talked with the Attorney General and with President Coolidge, opposing the nomination of Judge McMahon. “I think they were convinced,” said Dr. Wilson, “that under great press ure, the nomination has been passed along to you.” Dr. Wilson sald that if he was going before Judge Mec- Mahon, he would never let him knows# that -he was a Methodist or in favor of the Volstead act. Senator Means of Colorado, chair: man of the subcommittee in charge of Judge McMahon’s nomination, an- nounced after the hearing today that there would bé a meeting of the sub- committee Thursday, at 10 am, to hear those who favor confirmation of the nomination.

By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, February 3.—Govern- ment ownership and operation of shipping was called a “costly and wasteful” experiment which should “be brought to an early end” by Al- fred Hilbert Smith in an address be fore the American Steamship Owners’ Assoclation, of which he was re-elect- ed president yesterday. He sald that shipping methods are practiced only by private interests. he concentration of public inter- est on political matters and a na- tional election has precluded private shipping Interests from crying out for the retirement of the Govern- ment from the business,” Mr. Smith assexted. “An opportune time for the private owners to be heard has yet to present itself,” he said. Other officers of the assoclation elected yesterday are: William Necom, Unlted Fruit Company, Boston, first vice president; Paul H. Harwood, Pan American Petroleum and Trans- port Company, second vice president, and J. Howland Gardiner, New Eng- land Steamship Company, third vice president.
