Never- theless every nation will hestitate to invite the ‘contempt ‘and resentment of other civilized powers by resorting to ruthless submarine warfere in viola- tion of its obligation to refrain from such inhuman policy. “It is indisputable that the treaty gives the Nayy of the United States a better- relative itiont with respect to the navies of Great Bfitain and Japan than it occupled at the time of the conference.

Honorable Winston Churchill, who declares that the treaty is not one of parity between the goyernment which he serves and our own, but that it definitely imposes naval inferiority on Great Britain, “Representatives of the Japanese ad- miralty are carrying on a determined resistance to the treaty, asserting that it deprives Japan of the power of self- defense in*home or nearby waters.

Doorman of Grill, Mistaken for Owner, Is Held for Ransom By the Associated Press. NEWARK, N.

This is nearer actual equality in the cruiser category than was contemplated by the minimum suggestion of the Naval Board propos- ing 210,000 tons in 8-inch cruisers and 105,000 tons in 6-inch cruisers, aggre- gating 315,000 tons in cruisers of both sub-categories compared with 339,000 for Great Britain. If the minimum cruiser arrangement of the General Board constituted parity, we certainly do not sacrifice that parity by accepting 38,500 tons in 6-inch cruisers in lieu of 30,000 tons in 8-inch cruisers. Safety in Pacific Upheld. This conclusion is reinforced by the fact that under the treaty there is no distinction in cruising radius as to ships hereafter constructed in the cruiser subcategories. Stated in another way, the treaty gives the United States superiority in large guns.and only slight inferiority in small guns, with the advantage in our favor as to cruising radius. The declaration is untenable, that the treaty sacrifices the safety of the United States in Pacific waters. Not only are our coast lines and ssions rendered more secure through the establishment of relations between the Japanese Navy and our own cals culated so discourage aggression, but our relative strength under.the treaty will be far greater than heretofore, and we are assured that Japan will suspend construction while we build auxiliary craft to the treaty standard.

BY MARK SULLIVAN. In an informal way some Senators say the naval treaty will be ratified and the session will be over by a week from now, roughly about July 21. Some Senators who make tentative arrange- ments based upon this expectation are in positions of one degree or another of leadership. Admitting their authoritativeness, an observer is disposed to question so early a date. It is always safe to count on the time-consuming capacity of the Senate. Some of those who speak of July 21 as the closing date are the same who last year said the tariff bill would be passed at various dates, all of ‘which erred on the side of optimism by from nine months to six months. ; Three Speeches to Date. To say the treaty will be passed and the session over in a week is future prediction. If one looks at past fact one finds the Senate has been in session a week and has heard just three speeches dealing with the naval treaty. All the rest .of the week has been consumed by the collateral but wholly distinct controversy over prerogative as between Senate and President. That question of prerogative is not settled yet. In another form it may readily consume the coming week. The question immediately before the Senate is a resolution by Senator Nor- ris of Nebraska which proposes to at- tach to this international treaty with Japan and Great Britain a curious record of a domestic American quarrel. The resolution begins with a “where- 85, reciting that the President of the United States declined to comply with | ing a request of the Senate for certain diplomatic correspondence. The resolu- tion then concludes with a declaration that “the Senate ratifies said treaty with the distinct understanding that ‘no correspondence outside the treaty itself shall “in any way modity, add to or take away from the treaty.’” Would Be Reservation. This resolution it is proposed to add to the treaty as a reservation. The reservation would give rise to some difficulty, though not much. Like all reservations to all treatles, it would have to be passed upon by the govern- ments of the other countries. Prob- ably the Japanese and British Parlia- ments would get some amusement out of it, though there is no reason why they should not accept it. The ma- terfal part of the resolution is merely like resolving that two and two make four, or that “this treaty consists of this treaty.” This curious resolution and reserva- tion. may consume considerable time. As an incident of the quarrel over pre- rogative between the Senate and the President, some friends of the admin- istration in the Senate object to the first part of the resolution, though not to the second. Undoubtedly amend- ments will be proposed, and the amend- ments will give rise to debate. Even if and after this reservation is out of the way, there will be yet other reser- vations. Some will be proposed in good faith and may be pertinent. Others, without doubt, will be proposed for time-consuming purposes. Foes Play for Time. The plainness of the purpose on the part of the treaty's opponents to con- sume time is the latest material devel- opment in the fight. The opponents have begun to show alert and contin- uous watchfulness as to whether a quorum is present. This means inten- tion by the opponents of the treaty to take advantage of the absence of a quorum, if that occurs. A quorum is 49. The number of Senators present from time to time in the Senate is, on the average, only about 50, or one over & quorum. There is, however, for the present, a margin of some six or eight Senators in Washington. There is al- ways the possibility of enough leaving Washington to bring about lack of a quorum. If that happens the treaty opponents will take advantage of it and end the session. In another way, the passage of time, and the consuming of time, favors the opponents. The day may come Wwhen a hot and weary Senate will be willing to give in to the opponents and vote to adjourn. Seek to Avoid Action. Adjournment without action is the objective of the opponents.

Every opponent would freely say that their objective is to throw the treaty over ‘until December. One thing the opponents could do any time they choose. The 12 of them could absent themselves and thereby create lack of a quorum. Once or twice some of them have hinted this threat. They are not likely, however, to do this unless they can gei more public opinion on their side than mow exists. No doubt the public wonders why some forty-odd friends of the treaty cannot outvote 12 opponents and go ahead and ratify the treaty. One reason is the Senate's methods of pro- cedure, about which Ambassador Dawes, when Vice President, used to discourse adversely. Another reason is division among_the treaty's friends on questions other than the treaty. On controver- stes about prerogative between Senate and President many friends of the treaty stand with the Senate. (Copyright, 1030 Canaries Dislike Jazz.

C., MONDAY, MARY MCLENNY KNEW MAN WED {Richmond Girl Says Parental Objection Was Cause of Flight. By the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va, July 14—Mary | Prances McClenny, 20-year-old Rich- | mond society girl, was at home today, exactly two weeks after she disappeared with Harry Dickinson, her man” companion. Her father and mother, Dr. and Mrs. D. O. McClenny, exhausted by search for the girl, were on the verge of col- lapse, Russell Bowles, the family at- torney, said. Miss McClenny returned home yes- terday from a small rooming house at Waynesboro, Va., where she and Dick- inson had posed as Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Jones of Lynchburg, Va. since their secret departure July 1. They were found by an attorney and a newspaper Teporter. Dickinson surrendered to police, who held a warrant charging him with “abducting and secreting” the missing girl. He was released in bail of $1,000 for appearance July 18. The bond stip- ulated “he must not attempt to com- municate with Miss McClenny, either directly or indirectly, until the case has been disposed of.” Miss McClenny in a signed statement said she went away with Dickinson with full knowledge that he was mar- ried and undivorced. She also said she fled because of parental objection to Dickinson. Hitch-Hiked to Waynesboro. She said they hitch-hiked to Waynes- boro and on July 2 rented a room, kitchenette and bath apartment, where they have been’ staying while officers and private detectives were combing the State and following clues leading to distant citles. Mrs. R. L. Spradlin, in Waynesboro today said the couple came to her room- g house and rented the apartment for two weeks, paying in advance. They said their name was Mr, and Mrs. Harry L. Jones of Lynchburg, Va., giving her the impression that they were bride and groom. The man said he was look- ing for filling station work. Miss McClenny and Dickinson drove here in an automobile with Joseph Nunnally, a lawyer, and a newspaper reporter, Dickinson doing the driving. Dickinson immediately surrendered himself to the police, who was wanted on warrant sworn out on information given them by Dr. McClenny. Miss McClenny said she had been buying clothes for a week before her departure and hiding them under the seat of her automobile. She said she left & note for her father, telling him ;hz had left home and not to look for er. Left Note in Car. She pinned the note to the seat of her automobile which she left parked on a side street, and then took a trolley car to the downtown section where she met Dickinson. The two proceeded, the girl said, to a railroad station where they were given a ride in an automobile to_Ashland. Their discovery was made yesterday by police on information given them by a Miss Leonard, an acquaintance, who sald she saw them on the street in ‘Waynesboro. Miss Leonard was visiting In Waynesboro at the time. Dickinson’s wife and child are now living near Russellville, Tenn. His father sald she came there some time ago, from Richmond, and was making her home with her parents. TARIFF BODY NAMES MAY BE HELD UP Move to Hold Appointments Until Treaty Vote Seen to Delay Reorganization. By the Associated Press. ‘The prospect that the Tariff Com- mission will not be reorganized until after adjournment of the Senate Treaty session was seen today at the Capitol, with word from the White House that no nominations would be made pend- ing approval of a date to vote on the treaty. Under the new tariff act, President Hoover has until September 17 to ap- point a new commission. Any of the six incumbent commissioners who are not reappointed and confirmed by that date automatically go out of office. Should the President wait until the last few days of the special session to send in any nominations to the com- mission the chances of confirmation be- fore adjournment would be impaired by the controversies which often attend such appointments. Mr, Hoover has had many names under consideration for the commission. He also has been reported at the Capi- tol as ready to reappoint some of the present. commissioners. Pending the reorganization, the pres- ent commission has been reluctant to start actively upon any new investiga- tions ordered by the Senate since en- actment of the new law June 17.

PRESIDENTIAL CAR IN HEAD-ON CRASH; OCCUPANTS UNHURT (Continued From First Page.) month-old baby, and their 7-year-old daughter. The others were not hurt. ‘The party was returning from New York to their home in Luray. Motor Cycle Escort Urged. ‘The accident spurred advisers of the President today to urge inclusion of a motor-cycle escort in future excursions to the Blue Ridge lodge. Pressure on the President was brought to bear a week ago after another accident nar- rowly was averted, but Mr. Hoover had been reluctant to consent to the escort. It was indicated today tnat he might accede to the wishes of his friends. It was said today that the Pesident now realizes that he and Mrs. Hoover had a narrow escape, and those in the car which was struck are to be con- gratulated on their good luck at not|M being injured in any way as a result of the accident. It was thought that the quick think- ing on the part of Francis Robinson, a White House chouffeur, who was driving the car occupied by the President and Mrs. Hoover and Senators Allen of Kansas and Thomas of Idaho, saved the presidential car from being struck. Robinson said he noticed the car com- ing toward them at a high rate of Speed, running on the wrong side of the road, while overtaking other cars. He noticed also that the oncoming car was not being driven on a true course. It was careening from one side of the roac to the other. He slowed down the President’s car and in doing So saved it from being sideswiped. The careening machine also nearly struck the secret service car immediately be- hind the President’s car, and, in avoid- ing collision with it, partially left the road at a diagonal line and ran directly into the third car of the presidential party. The force of the collision was So great that the White House car bare- ly escaped being toppled over. The coolness of the chauffeur is thought to have held it on the road. Caravan Comes to Halt. The President’s car and the others in the caravan came to a stop and one of the secret service men was sent back by Mr. Hoover to make inquiry as to the extent of the accident and see if any one was injured. When he was in- formed a few moments later that no one was hurt, but that the cars were damaged, the President declined to re- sume his journey, but sent another secret service man back for verification of the first report. Mrs. Hoover's personal automobile, which she had driven to the camp on Saturday and which was trailing the party, was then turned over to those of the White House party whose car had been damaged. The latter group in- cluded Mrs. Boone and her little daugh- ter Suzanna. Before the caravan re- sumed its homeward journey, the Presi- dent and Mrs. Hoover insisted that the members of the party who figured in the accident drive up ‘alongside of their car so that they could personally assure themselves that all were uninjured. One member of the White House party said there was every reason to believe that Mrs. Beach lost control of her car while passing the line of cars ahead of the President’s party. Another mem- ber of the party said Mrs. Beach placed the blame of the collision upon her hus- band, saying that he grabbed the wheel when her car partially left the road after narrowly escaping hitting the President’s car and the Secret Service car. And it was during this confusion that the car headed in the direction of the Boone and Richey car. ‘The side of the White House car was badly dented and two of the fenders mashed, but otherwise it was not se ously damaged. The remainder of the journey to Washington was made with- out difficulty. Mrs. Beach's car was virtually wrecked. One of the front wheels was knocked off, the radiator was badly smashed and other damage was done. A. W. Mills, county officer, investigated the crash. The presidential party had left the camp at 3 o'clock in the afternoon after a happy and restful week end. The President, Capt. Boone and Secretary Ritchey played medicine ball us usual this morning with other members of the medicine ball cabinet and showed no ill effects from the experience.

Schwartz, 24 years oli@' ‘who lived at 2023 Nichols avenue south- en.st, and Fred Boyd, 19, of Baltimore, Schwartz and Boyd made their way unobserved to a room used for the storage of clothing taken from prison- ers upon their commitment shortly aft- er noon yesterday and remained there until dark. A search of the institu- tion was made by guards when the two prisoners were missing, but they escaped detection. The doors of the supply room were locked yesterday afternoon, but Schwartz and’ Boyd managed to force one of the locks. Capt. M. Barnard ordered out the blood hounds, but the dogs failed to locate a trail of the prisoners in hiding. No attempt was made to use the blood hounds when the prisoners’ route of escape was discovered, the trail having grown cold over night.

While the principal task of the com- mittee is to inquire into Mrs. McCor- mick’s campaign, Senator Nye said the activities in behalf of Senator Deneen would not be ignored. No investigation is to be made into the campaign of James Hamilton Lewls, the former Sen- ator, who won the Democratic nomina- tion without much opposition. Asked about the Senate's method of determining excessive expenditures, Mr. Nye said there was no set rule or law, but mentioned the resolution adopted by the Senate in 1921, which took the stand that the $191,000 expended by Senator Newberry in Michigan was ex- cessive.

By the Assoclatec Press. ATLANTA, July 14—Thirteen deaths were traced today to excessive heat, which reached its peak in the South yesterday with a temperature of 113 degrees at Columbus, Miss. Nine deaths were reported in the vicinity of Memphis, Tenn., where the mercury climbed to 103, three in Arkansas and one in Montgomery, Ala. A rarified atmosphere coupled with a disregard of airport ~restrictions was held responsible by the manager of a Memphis, Tenn, flying base for an airplane crash near Ripley, Miss, in which L. H. Hines, 27, and his brother, Dr. T. C. Hines, 31, were injured fatally. Lightning, accompanying severe windstorms in Georgia, killed two col- ored persons in Macon. The gales broke a long hot spell and drought, but disrupted communications and dam- aged small dwellings in many sections of Georgia and Alabama. DROUGHT CONTINUES. LOUISVILLE, K; With the heat wa past, the Kentucky public today promptly forgot the 100-degree tem- peratures of last week and unconcernedly went on about its business, but not so Kentucky farmers, who were troubled by & more serious matter than mercury ‘adings. Droutl, withering the crops so care- fully tended during the Spring, con- tinued to damage tobacco, corn, wheat and other products of the Blue Grass State. Light showers of the past few days were of little benefit to growing plants. Scarcity of water for cattle also con- spired to make the farmer's lot a hard one, and in some sections the precious fluid has to be transported long distances for the use of farm animals. Cattle also is being fed on commercial feeds, since the grass in pastures had withered, denying them their usual sus- tenance. July 14 ®)— & thing of the Pray for Rain. Cases of shortage of drinking water for human beings were less general, but some communities experienced this in- convenience also. Prayers for rain were offered Sunday at masses In most Cath- olic churches, and many Protestant pas- tors conducted special services, inter- ceding for Devine aid. ‘Western Kentucky faced the prospect of the lightest dark tobacco mcg in years, and Central Kentucky—the Bur- lev belt—was dubious as to the future of its chief money crop. The Blue Grass seed crop was estimated at 10 per cent of normal. Western and Eastern Ken- tucky coal mines and oil drillings were threatened with shutdowns if the drouth continued. Rivers were at their lowest levels in years, and creeks and ponds were dried up. Rainfall this Summer has been about half the normal quantity. WEST IN GRIP OF HEAT. SAN FRANCISCO, July 14 (#)—Re- lief from the heat wave which struck Eastern Washington, sending the tem- perature up to 111 at Riparia, was fore- cast for today, but continued warm weather was in store for Southern Cali- fornia. Riparia’'s 111 took the sweepstakes for the Western country yesterday, but Needles and Yuma, Ariz, and Orofino, Idaho, showed 108. Several cther West~ iern cities reported temperatures well over the 100 mark. Thunderstorms and cooling winds were promised for East- ern Washington today.

Mrs. Updike, through Attorneys Ray- mond Neudecker and Jean M. Board- man, complained that the former Con- gressman had failed to pay her ali- mony as directed for the support of her- self and their four children, having neglected to pay a balance of $32.50 which she claimed was due as of June 1, last. In the order for alimony it was provided that credit should be given Updike for $30 admitted to have been paid to his wife during the pendency of her motion for support.
