A—4 TREATY LOOPHOLE - FEARED IN SENATE Swanson Urges Notes With Great Britain to Assure U. S. Position. (Continued From Pirst Page.) which this tonnage is now represented, he said. Having already 15 of the big cruisers by specific provision of the treaty, that | would make a total of 23 for England. | The United States, meanwhile, will be proceeding in the closing three years of the treaty with the laying down of the last three of the 18 big crulsers which it is allowed to have on January stipulates that the United | States shall not complete more than 16 of these cruisers before December 31 1936, the exgg‘y!dlu‘ The opinion of the general 'd of the Navy is that the 8-inch gun cruiser is the type best Suited to American needs. By the same interpretation that would allow Great Britain to use her available tonnage in 8-inchers, the United States could build one addi- tional 8-inch-gun cruiser of 10,000 tons. In such an event, the United States, in 1939, would have 19 big cruisers to Britain's 28. With the treaty expiring with the year 1936, the powers would be unrestricted after that date. But it is the fact that it takes about three years to build a cruiser that makes the point important in the eyes of naval men at this time. For, as they say, the right to lay down cruisers as early as the year 1934 would enable Great Britain to have several of them well long toward completion by the end of 1936, or even before the next confer- emce in 1938, After a week of intensive public hear- on the treaty by both the foreign tions and naval affairs committees :i(vity today with respect to the treaty. ‘The hearings will be resumed on Mon- day with Admiral Jones resuming his testimony before the naval affairs com- inittee and Rear Admiral Mark L.

Stimson, Secre- tary of State, and Charles PFrancis Adams, Secretary of the Na who testified before both committees during the week. Admirals Pratt and Jones were the ehief advisers to the American delega- tion at London. Over the objection of the general board the former aban- doned the board’s stand for the con- struction of 8-inchers to the exclusion of 6-inchers, and indoj the plan in the treaty by which the United States is allowed what he calls a “50-50" division of its cruiser strength between the two types.

Senator Robinsan disputes the contention of the general board ad- mirals that the treaty language, in article 19, is ambiguous enough to war- rant replacement of -inch cruisers with 8-inch ships. Both Secretary Adams and Admiral Pratt, while on the side opposite Admiral Jones and the general board, have admitted that there 15 merit in the point, and Secretary Adams is authority for the statement that the question has been discussed in administration quarters. Senator Swanson intimated last night that his proposal for an exchange of diplomatic notes to clarify the matter 1s recelving favorable consideration. Meantime, Representative Fred A. Britten, Republican, of Illinois, declared that he was preparing to ask the House committee on naval affairs, of which he is chairman, to adopt a resolution call- ing for a reservation amending the safeguarding clause so that the United States could build whatever kind of ships it chose in case Britain should decide to bulld more ships than the | treaty provides in order to maintain Ber superiority over the Prench and Italian navies. Senator Prederick Hale, Republican, of Maine, chairman of the naval affairs committee of the Senate, indicated that he was disposed to support such a move, | which would suggest that proposals for | a reservation or reservations be made | in the Senate. | Senator Borah, chairman of the for- eign relations committee, has no doubt | that the treaty will be ratified, and he | thinks it will be before adjournment of | the present session. i e — Upper left: Florence Sydnor taking pony class.

A great little saddle mare, brought to the National Capital Horse Show by the Henry L. Fonda Stables, Charlottesville, Va., pranced proudly to the cham. plonship of the show yesterday after- noon, capturing two blue ribbons along her high-stepping way, the first in the $1,000 Washington Saddle Stake, for the title ribbon of the show, and the second in & $500 stake class for saddle horses. ‘The mare, Americana, 2d, chestnut in color and standing about 15.1% hands high, was ridden in both of the feature events of the afternoon by Forrest Ward, Ponda's trainer, and added the two blue ribbons of yester- day to a third won in the first day of the show in a class for novice park saddle horses. Americana, 2d, enriched her stable to the extent of $740 by winning the three events, Horve Runs Away. Miss Elizabeth Martin of Washington provided the large closing day crowd with plenty of excitement when she plloted a big runaway horse through more than a score of people gathered at the south end of the show ring without injury to any'of the spectators. Miss Martin, riding George Washing- ton, an entry in the ladies’ hunters class, found her mount unruly after taking two ‘jumps, leaping over the north fence of the show ring. No spec- tators were at that end of the ring, so Miss Martin, lashing her mount furi- ously about the head with her crop, jumped it back into the ring and started through the jumps again. Two more jumps she made and again she lost control of her mount. As she shouted a warning to specta- tors along the south rail, the horse jumped and the crowed scattered. The horse landed clear of all but one of the spectators, one of its hind hoofs graz- ing the arm of Miss Virginia Yellott, one of the Capital debutantes of the past season, knocking her handbag from her hand. Miss Yellott was not injured, and Miss Martin kept her seat and managed to get her horse under control.

' DALLAS, Tex., May 17 (#).—Jose- phus Daniels, former Secretary of the Navy and a delegate to the General Conference of the Southern Methodist Episcopal Church here, tonight issued a formal statement to correct what he said was a misinterpretation of state- ments credited to him today. The statements, he said, were made in executive session and had been “er- roneously quoted.” They did not, he made clear, “reflect in any way on Her- bert Hoover.” The statements to which he referred were that Hoover had made no posi- tive declaration on the prohibition question. “I said in executive session that Mr. Hoover was ‘no crusader for prohibi- tion’” Daniels' statement said. “But I did indorse his plans to strengthen and enforce the law. I also s: in executive session, from which my words have been garbled and handed to the press, that I considered the worst blow struck at prohibition was the repeal statement of Dwight Morrow, under- stood to be Hoover's candidate for Sen- ator frof New Jersey.” ‘The former Secretary of the Navy, who served in President Wilson's cabi- net, made the executive session com- ment in discussing charges of stock market speculation against Bishop James Cannon, jr, of Washington, D. C., and in answer to the charge of Cannon's friends that the accusa- tions had .been brought against the bflgo b‘{hthot! who rigunbed nnon’s anti-Smith eampaign - dential eltcuon.pll' e VICTIM OF DROWNING LEFT $61,000 ESTATE Miss Helen Fink Was on Pacific Bteamer at Time of Death, and Relatives Petition. Miss Helen M. Fink, who -was drowned off the steamship Virginia in | the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, April 2, left an estate valued in excess of $61,000, according to the petition of her aunt, Miss Rida Fink, Portland Apartments, for letters of administra- tion on her estate. She had personal effects, now in the possession of the International Mercantile Marine Co. at New York, and Justice Hitz directed Theodore Cogswell, register of wills, to make an investigation of these effects. Through Attorney Beverly M. Cole- man, the court is advised that Miss Fink had no living father, mother, sister or brother, and that her nearest relatives are the petitioner and Mrs, Mary Fink Connelly of Sacramento, Calif.; Willam B. Fink, 1013 Ninth street, and Charles H. Fink of Balti- more, Who are brothers and sisters of the dead father of Miss Fink. ‘The court is told that the body of the young woman was never recovered and there are consequently, no funeral expenses.

Gov. Pinchot has been out of office for | four years. What organization he ha: as governor faded away in the interim. However, he has been able to build up again, to some extent, his old political fences. And more particularly is he being helped by the Anti-Saloon League, the Women's Christian Temperance Union and the churches. He is the one dyed-in-the-wool dry in the race for governor. Brown has declared for a State referendum on the liquor issue | as a concession to the wets. Phillips is & wringing wet. The Brown sup- porters indthe wet centers, however, are | passing the word that any man sup- | ported by “Bill” Vare should be satis- | factery to any wet, after all. .Pinchot has an advantage over Brown in the | four big coal mining counties, where the | coal miners are friendly to him because | he helped them get higher wages when he was governor. ‘The Grundy and Pinchot camps are counting on the wet ticket cutting into the Brown and Davis strength in Phila- delphia, Pittsburgh and other centers. However, the wets will draw from some of the strength which under other eir- cumstances would be Grundy’s. Law- yers, physicians, business men—all be- longing to the middle and upper crust in Philadelphia’s social organization— in many cases will voice their resent- men¢ against the dry laws by supporting the et ticket. Dark Horses Loom Strong. ‘Three weeks ago it looked all one way, with Brown and Davis far out in the lead and running strong. But the resourceful Mr. Grundy and the cru- sading Mr. Pinchot have come strongly to the fore recently and there are plenty of political wiseacres here who insist they have a good chance of winning. If there is little money for betting purposes, there seems to be plenty of it for campaigning. Secretary Davis said today before leaving for Pittsburgh and his home, where he will wind up his campaign® “The Brown-Davis ticket will win this primary unless it is bought out from under us. I believe we will win by 150,000 to 200,000 votes, anyway. But the opposition has been pouring money into the campaign and is continuing to do. The expenditures in this campaign, if all brought into the open, would make the 1926 primary campaign look like a modest affair. In that primary campaign, which re- sulted in the nomination of Vare, some- thing like $2.500,000 was expended in | support of the Pepper-Fisher, Vare- Beidleman and the Pinchot tickets, then in the fleld. Grundy was backing Pisher for governor and the Pepper- Pisher ticket had expended for it about $1,600,000, as compared to $800,000 for the Vare-Beidleman ticket and some- thing less than $300,000 for Pinchot. If Mr. Davis is right, there seems to be not the slightest doubt that the Senate slush fund committee, headed by Sen- ator Nye of North Dakota, is coming into the State to make an investigation of the campaign after the voting is all done, As 3 matter of fact, the Nye com- mittee is already on the job here. On election day Senator Nye and other | members of his committee will be in the State themselves to take a look at what is happening at the polls. This will be the first primary election y supervised b: A Senate committee. Already Senator Nye has must be no holding back of the count | to see how many votes are “needed.” Charges Workers Intimidated. opponent, Mr. Grundy, wné Grundy's manufacturing supporters, are spénding hundreds of thousands of dollars, out he asserted that these manufacturers are cracking the whip over the shoul- ders of their mill workers. The owners | and operators cf big plants here, he said, have threatened their employes with loss of jobs if they do not go down the line for Grundy The word has been slipped to them in their pay en- velopes in some cases. In other cases, the mills have been shut down for two hours at a time while 3rundy workers have talked to the employes, and such meetings are scheduled at the plan's for Monday, ton. While Mr. Davis is charging mtimi- dation of workers in the “actories, Sen- ator Grundy is chargng the Pennsyl- vania Railroad president, Sen. W. W. Atterbury, with having issued orders to all employes of the roed to vote the Brown-Davis ticket. He insists, too, %-m the employes of all traction ind ublic utility corporations are being coerced to vote for Davis and Brown. “We'll win if we can get the vote counted in Philadelphia and Pitts- burgh,” said Senator Grundy. Then he added that,he would win, anyway. He said that precautions were being taken to safeguard the vote, that county de- tectives would be on the job under the orders of the county attorney. He does | not take much stock in the ordinary | watchers at the polls, however, and | intimated that having _Democratic | tchers at the volls in Philadelphia was very much like having Republican watchers at the voting booths in the Tammany districts of New York.

But against him are the Pennsylvania Railroad and the public utllity interests. The Mellons are back- ing Grundy, while “Bill” Vare, the Philadelphia boss, is backing Davis and Brown, his running mate. The tariff is the great issue made by Grundy in his campaign, and he has added to this an attack on the Vare organization in hiladelphia. The old high priest of protection declares that the pending tariff bill is the worst that has been written by s Republican Congress sinee the bill of 1884, He is pledging himself, whether elected Senator or not, to take & Pennsylvania delegation to the next Republican_national convention, which will work for a platform pledging the party to & new_revision of the tariff which will give Pennsylvania industries the protection which he says they should have. Grundy in Reformer Role. Grundy has violently attacked the Philadelphia _organization. He com- pares it to a band of robbers. It would loot the State if put in power at Harris- burg, he insists. Grundy, who has been a manipulator of politics and politicians, is talking like & reformer these days. Involved in this fight also is the old Tow over the falure of the State to im- pose a tax on Pennsylvania manufac- turers. Right there is where the Penn- sylvania Manufacturers’ Association and the Pennsy! public utilities corporations, etc. horns, The latter for years have main- talned that the manufacturers should pay taxes just as other corporations are taxed in the State. They believe that such a tax would lessen the burdens they themselves have to bear. manufacturers, on the other hand, want no governor who would stand for such a law. Grundy has taken a tremendous interest in the election of a governor every four years for a long time. There is not the slightest doubt he would greatly prefer Gifford Pinchot as gover- nor to Brown, backed by the Phila- delphia_organization. The Pinchot people are more cocky today than any of the others. They insist that they will come down to| Philadelphia with a lead of 250,000 | votes, such a lead as the Brown ple cannot hope to offset in this city of brotherly love and organizatio ©On the other hand, the Brown-Davis | ieutenants are estimating that their ticket will carry the State outside of 'hiladelphia by 40,000 to 50.000 and that it will have a lead in Philadelphia of 150,000 or more. Mr. Davis poohpoohs the charge by Senator Grundy that the Pennsylvania Railroad em})loys are being dragooned into voting for the Brown-Davis ticket by Gen. Atterbury. He points out that labor _organizations _throughout the State have indorsed his candidacy for the Senate. All of the railroad labor organizations have gone on record for his election long ago, he says. Labor, the organ of the railroad brotherhood: has sent a special issue into the State, urging the voters to support the Davis ticket and to oppose QGrundy. This issue has been circulated widely. In & final public statement issued by him to the press for publication today, Mr. Davis said, in part: “It seems quite certain that we will achieve a notable victory. We entered upon the fight as a united group and we close the campaign without a break in our ranks. ‘One for all and all for one' was the slogan adopted by Chair- man Bernard J.

Old “Bill” Vare, limping and leaning on a cane, addressed two of the wind- up meetings here. He made a personal appeal to his friends in Philadelphia and throughout the State to get behind the whole organization ticket. The “sick man of Pennsylvania” is still the boss of this city, no matter what he may be after Tuesday's election. If the organization should get a drubbing, losing both Senator and governor, it would be in a sad In only one of the old Vare wards the twenty-third, has the ward leader gone over to the enemy. He is David T. Hart and in his ward are located many textile mills. The owners of these mills put up the money and they are back of Grundy practically to & man. But outside of Hart the ward leaders have stuck by the organization. The Philadelphia vote, which is near- ly & third of the total vote that will be cast in the State, is likely to decide the race both for governor and for Senator. A great deal depeénds on how big & lead the Vare organization ticket rolls up in the city. If the dope- sters are correct, Da*’s will run ahead of his ticket, gaining more votes in the State because of his big labor following | than, will Brown, his running mate. Brown, on the other hand, a citizen of Philadelphia, is expected to have more votes in the city than Davis.

By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, May 17.—The Southern Baptists tonight adjourned their annual convention here under a definite stand to war for a dry Nation and to fight for defeat of any political candidate who does not frankly advocate the present prohibition laws. ‘Two of the last acts were a request to the churches to provide a budget for the denominational State papers to solidify their position in the cgurch and an appeal to the churches to usher in an “old-time Baptist spiritual evangel- ism to preach the doctrine of sin and salvation and reclaim the blackslidden churches.” The evangelistic campaign was agreed to after the convention accepted the suggestion of J. H. Anderson of Knox- ville, Tenn., iay leader for the South, that the “soul-saving campaign” be financed privately without burdening the convention’s financial budget of $3,000,000 further “at this critical moment.” The convention ended without a con- troversy over modern and fundamental ideas on religion and without official gosture from the convention toward the | hope expressed by Dr. A.
