Mr, Hale Is sald to have rather tartly requested Mr. Lodge in reply to advance some good reason for this government's giving up advantugeous {ariff relations a year before they should end. After a long debate it was.realized that ratification today was impossible and the senate adjourned. A radically different view "of the Japanese treaty is heli by those ix the confidence of the state depart- ment,” who regard the position of Sen- ator Hale as the result of a misap- prehension. $2,000 IN MONEY AND JEWELRY RECOVERED Three Men Arrested for Train Rob- bery in Georgia.
