HELLOGG TO OFFER NEW PEACE DRAFT éc}_'atary Convinced No In- q?ounlable Obstacles Have | Aeen Raised to Pact. ‘. FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Before many days are past, Secretary | ellogg expeets to submit to France, | r¢at Britain, Ttaly, Germany and Ja- | DAWN OF A NEW DAY FINDS SENATORS STIL 1 a revised draft treaty for renuncia- R of war as an instrument of na- tional policy. The replies to Mr. Kellogg's original proposal are now all in hand and con- vince him that no insurmountable bar- | riers have been raised in any quarter. It does not seem likely that the plan | first put forward by the American Sec- retary of State can or will be finally afiopted as a six-power pact, but Mr. ! Rellogg has every reason to hope that the broad basic principle he seeks to | establish in international treaty form will be accepted. To promote that end. this writer is ‘nformed, the United States Governm-nt will make certain concessions desgned to meet point: raised by vario s powers. The points in question concern mainly the rights of the signatory nations to go to war in “gelf-defense” and their obligations un- | der already existing covenants. Change Preamble. . It is probable that foreign suscepti- bilities on these two scores W be conciliated by writing satisfactos erences to them into the preamble of the new draft treaty. The State De- partment is understood to feel that every reasonable demand will be met it the points are covered in this way rather than by including them in the articles of the treaty proper to which signatory governments would formally subscribe, Preambles are not binaing upon treaty-makers except “morally” snd “in principle.” It is the precise ‘and categorical text which counts. | What has happened so far since Sec- retary Kellogg on April 13 invited the | five powers of Eurgpe and Asia to _mm‘ Uncle Sam in renouncing war is this: Prance replied by submitting a draft treaty of her own to be considered | alongside the American proposal. Ger- | many accepted the Kellogg plan out- ht. Italy subscribed to the principle | of the projected treaty and Great Britain accepted the pact in principle while suggesting certain reservations. Japan is prepared to “collaborate with | cordial good will” in Secretary Kellogg's | negotiation for a muitilateral treaty to outlaw war. It is the position of France which| mrobably conjures up the most serious difficulties in the path of America's | Thomas, Tydings and Tyson—25. { hart, Capper, Couzens, Cutting, Dale, | CONGRESS TO QuIT, AFTER LONG FIGHT FAILS IN DAM BILL (Continued from First Page.)

Completing its examination of New- comb, the commission turned to utility activities in Minnesota and the Dak tas, calling John W.

He said his committee spends from $15,000 to $20,000 annually and re- ceives the money from member com- panies.

Lapham said Ryan, a professor of electrical engineering, was chairman of the association’s educa- twrl::l ::mmmec, pham testified that Prof. Ry who teaches a utility course at the uni- versity, in 1926 suggested to him that the National Electric Light Association sponsor the establishment of public utility courses in colleges taroughout the country. Sought More Aid. A letter from Ryan to Lapham was introduced in that connection, in which he wrote: “I would like to see the National with public utflities, particularly pub- lic utility economics.” Lapham sald his organization had paid the expenses of Prof. Ryan to at- tend a meeting in Chicago in January, 1927, called by Carl D. Jackson. chair- man of the National Electric Light As- sociation’s committee on co-operation with educational institutions. In a let- ter dated December 16, 1926, Ryan wrote Lapham that he Hesitated to “again ask your organization to pay my traveling expenses,” but that if the or- ganization could pay them he would accept. He wrote that he thought Jackson would have some constructive ideas on co-operation with educational institu- tions. ‘The witness sald his organization had succeeded in having short courses on public utility problems established at the University of Minnesota and other institutions in his territory for the em- ployes of power concerns. Lapham sald the text book used iu North and South Dakota and Minne- sota schools had not been surveyed by his organization, but added that he un- derstood they would be examined in the future by the National Electric Light Association, He said that power executives had | made addresses to engineering stu- dents at the University of Minnesota on utility subjects, A disclosure late in the hearing yes- terday, while the New York situation was under scrutiny, was that the Na- tional Electric Light Association had |sponsored a nationwide survey of text books with the purpose of revising them it necessary In their relation to the industry. Fred W. Crone of New York, director of the New York State committee on public utility information, and Charles H. B.

Chapin testified that a committee from ,his organization had appeared before the New York Board of Edu- cation in an effort to have public utility courses placed in the schools, and that a number of college profes- sors had recelved payments for radio and other talks in behalf of the utilities.

William F.

Another development in his testimony and documents introduced in that con- nection was that Edward Hungerford, formerly of Rochester, had co-operated with the Rochester Board of Education and varfous publie utilities in producing A fext book which is now being used in Rochester schools. In addition, it was brought out that Mrs. Henry G. Danforth of Rochester, president of the Board of Education, wrote the foreword and that the book was copyrighted in the name of the Children's Memorial Scholarship Fund, Inc. Checked New York Books. Another development was that a sur- {vey of text books was made in New York in 1924, At that time J. B. Sheri- | dan of St. Louls, director of the Mis- sourl committee on public utility in- formation, and in charge of book sur- veys for the National Electric Light As- soclation, sent a letter, presented in yesterday's testimony, informing Crone of the purpose of thé survey. ‘The object, he wrote, “Is to accurate- ly inform ourselves of the nature of matter dealing with the public utility industry In these textbooks, and. if| found necessary, to take up the matter | of revising, rewriting and bringing up to date the textbooks, with the proper authonties.” Crone testified that the utilities were opposed to Gov. Smith's proposal for water power authority, and that he had written and distributed more than 200~ 000 coples of two pamphlets urging the development of the streams in New York for water power under private control. He also testified that his organization pald $20 a month to have the public service magazine sent to members of the State Legislature, but that he did | not know whether its stock was owned by utility companies. Although he said that he had noth- ing to do with legialation, Crone testi- | fled that he had written articles about # bill proposed to make public utility stock legal fnvestment, but added that the bill falled to pass.

By the Associated Press. Bristling with pungent terms of de- nunciation of the naval oil leases and the Continental Trading Co. deal, a re~ port supplemental to that approved yesterday by the Teapot Dome commit- tee was filed today by Senator Nye, Re- publican, North Dakota, chairman of this Senate investigating group. It went into the record along with the report of Senator Walsh, Demo- crat, Montana, who prosecuted the oil acterized Robert W. Stewart, Harry F. as “conspirators” and de- nounced the entire deal as a “con- | temptible private steal” “Never has the world known a case involving a degree of fraud, quite evi- | dent bribery, thievery, cy and | corruption to compese with what has | come to be known as the Teapot Dome- | Elks Hills-Continental Trading Co. | case,” the Nye report said. | “Worth Half Billion.” | “The leases involved in the case are estimated to have been worth not less | than $500,000,000 and were consum- | mated, to use the language of the Su- | preme Court of the United States, ‘by conspiracy, corruption and fraud.” “The investigation has uncovered the | slimiest of slimy trails beaten by privi- lege.

And in the end the story is one of the crushing of brilliant careers when finally the light was played upon those who schemed those unhealthy schemes born in darkness.
