By the Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio, February 6.—~The first formal step in behalf of Secretary Herbert Hoover's candidacy for the Re- publicar. presidential nomination has been made by his Ohlo supporters, who at the same time have drawn the battle lines against efforts of Senator Frank B. Willis to obtain Ohio’s delegation to the national convention. ‘Thad H. Brown, former secretary of State of Ohio, and Robert A.

The meeting, besides marking the first formal step in behalf of Mr. Hoover’s candidacy, has added signifi- cance because the Secrctary of Com- merce has not formally announced his :nwnllon to 'scw the nomination.

ARBITRATION PACT SIGNED BY FRANGE AND UNITED STATES Agreement Supersedes Root Treaty. Which Expires February 27. | NATIONS' LEGISLATORS MUST GIVE RATIFICATION Text Kept Confidential, but Docu- ment Is Known to Aim at Out- lawing of War. By the Associated Press The new arbitration treaty with France was signed shortly after 11 o'clock today by Robert E. Olds, Under- secretary of State for the United States, and Ambassador Paul Claudel for France. Revision of peace treaties between the two nations became an accomplished fact with signature of the pacj. The treaty supersedes the Root ar- bitration treaty which expires February 27. It will become effective, however, only upon ratification by the legislative bodies of the two governments and the formal exchange of ratification copies. President Coolidge sent the treaty to the Senate soon after # was signed. Text Is Confidential. As 15 customary, the text of the new treaty will remain confidential until it is made public by the Senate committee on foreign relations. In substance, how= ever, its terms already are well known, including *a general declaration in the preamble against resort to war, coupled with an expression of hope by the two republies that a day will soon come when all nations will have abandoned war as an_instrument of national policy. The binding commitments of the treaty have to do entirely with arbitra- ton of disputes which it may not be possible to scttle by diplomatic means, or through the coneiliation machinery set up by the Bryan Treaty. Under it, the two governments pledge themselves to arbitrate any dispute not arising rom purely domestic questions in efther country, not affecting the interests of a third nation, and not involving the Monroe Doctrine. This represents a marked change from the language of the old Root Treaty, which reserved from arbitration matters affecting the vital interests or national honor of each country. To that extent, the new treaty is looked upon both here and in Paris as strengthening the peace-pre- serving machinery between the two countries to a material degree. Conciliation Necessary, Another aspect of the treaty is that it interlocks with the Bryan pact, under which disputes of any character, with- out exception, must be submitted to conciliation for a period of at least 12 months before either power may resort to war or warlike preparations. The new treaty represents the first change made in the Root treaties since they were negotiated. It is the purpose of the Washington Government to model all existing arbitration treaties with other powers as they approach expiration, using the Franco-American C In most cases, it 5 expected that exactly the same language will be employed to stand- ardize American peace undertaking: although in some instances a varfatio to include specific concillation ma- chinery, where no paralleling Bryan treaty now exists, will be necessary. Negotlations Unchanged. Blgnature of the treaty leaves the Briand-Kellogg conversations over a pact renouncing war unchanged, with no present Indications as to what the outcome may be. The Washington Government was unwilling tv make a treaty of this character with France exclusively, or to accept the French theory that only wars of aggression should be renounced and denounced. The Parls government, because of other commitments, found ftself unable o mccept the Kellogg counter proposal for a sweeping unqualified renun? clation of war, to be incorporated In a six-power treaty to negotiated under Franco-Amerlcan leadership, First Treaty by United States. The anniversary was not alone that of the first Franco-American treaty on February 6, 1778, with its solemn decla- | ration that: “there shall be firm, in- violable and universal peace, gnd a true und sincere friendship between the most Christian king, his heirs und suce sor, and the United States of Ameriea, 1 ! the fist treaty of any itered into by the American iment. It s the aaniversary of the first recognition by any power of Amerfcan nationalism as 1t had been ed In the Declaration of Inde- pendence on July 4, 1776, But the new treaty to be slgned to- day goes fur beyond the assertions of pece and friendship contained n that orlginal covenant with France.

SENATORS APPOINT NEW 1L COUNSEL | Wickersham Named to Op- pose Stewart at Contempt Hearing Tomorrow. By the Associated Pres Two additional witnesses were exam- ined today by the Senate Teapot Dome committee in a futile effort to throw light on the famous Continental Oil deal, which Senator Walsh of Mon- tana described as fraught with sus- picion at every turn. Having appointed George W. Wicker- sham, former Attorney General, to rep- resent it in the court tangle growing out of the refusal of Robert W. Stewart of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana to answer questions on the subject, the committee sought without success in a short session to obtain evidence as to the disposition of the huge profits of - mmu?oam' that Albert B.

Sheldon Clark of Chicago, vice presi- dent of the Sinclair Refining Co., and H. L. Phillips of Tulsa, president of the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Co., were today's witnesses, the question- ing dealing mainly with the deal whereby the crude company, owned Jointly by the Standard of Indiana and the Sinclair interests, bought oil from the Continental at $1.75 a barrel, al- most simultaneously with the latter company's purchase of it at $1.50. Nefther could give the committee any great amount of detailed information. Finally, Senator Walsh of Montana, the committee prosecutor, brought the session to a close with one of the ques- tions which Stewart refused to answer, even In the face of a contempt charge: “What, if anything, do you know about the disposition of the b(mdfi of the Continental Trading Company?" he asked i “1 know nothing about them.” Phil- lips, who was on the stand, replied.

A running battle betwéen colored occupants of a speeding automobile and pursuing motor cycle officers in which guns were brought into play ended dramatically early today in a desperate close-range encounter in which the police were victorious. The chase began within the city limits on the Bladensburg road, contin- ued at a mile-a-minute clip along the Baltimore pike and culminated in the ditching of the ‘automobile near Vista, Md., and the capture of two partly identificd colored passengers. One is in a serious condition at a hospital and the other is In a cell at the twelfth precinct. Motor Cycle Policeman Watson Sal- keld and Ernest C. Spaulding were slightly injured in the battle. Both had narrow escapes from the fusillade ot bullets, while Salkeld saved his brother officer from being choked to death by attacking his assallant with the butt of his revolver, after the weapon had jammed and, backfired, police declare, ‘The captured men are believed by police to be a colored restdent of Lan- ham, Md, named “Jackson” and a companion named Jacob Sandus. Neither was in condition to identify himself today, Jackson being in Emer- gency Hospital with a possible fracture of the skull and Sandus in a deltrium from what police believe is alcoholism. Third Man Escaped. A third colored man the mgelee after the w car, police assert The car was s aped during ing of the hted by Salkeld and Spaulding about 0 o'clock proceed- ing north on Bladensburg road at Mount Olivet road.

For re- ply, Juckson, who was driving, pulled @ revolver and fired five shots at the policemen without slackentng his speed, they reported.

The Police Court has concurrent juris- diction with the Juvenile Court to ex- amine, commit or admit to bail juveniles under the age of 17 years and section 25 of the Juvenile Court act does not repeal the jurisdiction which the Police Court had at the time of its passage. This is the effect of an opinion rendered today by the Discrict Court of Appeals through Judge James Francis Smith of the United States Court of Customs Appeals, who sat in the absence of Justice Van Orsdel. The appellate court reversed a finding of Chiet Justice McCoy,” who held the Juvenile Court had exclusive Jurisdiction over all juveniles under the age of 17 years and ordered the release from jail- of Harold Reed, colored, charged with robbery. ‘The decision is expected to set at rest the controversy which has raged for some time between Judge Kathryn Sel- lers of the Juvenile Court and Uhited States Attorney Peyton Gordon. Maj. Gordon has always held that a juvenile charged with a felony might be haled before the Police Court, but Judge Sel- lers insisted the Juvenile Court act gave her exclusive jurisdiction and all such offenses should be brought before her for commitment.
