This information was given today by treasury officials who appeared hefore the senate finance committee considering the administration bill to give the sec- retary of the treasury broad powers in refusing the allied debts to the United States. tant Secretary of the Treasury Wadsworth after questioning by Senator La Tollette and upon request of other committee members, read into the com- mittee records a lengthy extract from Premier Liloyd George's letter and a part of the British chancellor’s cable- gram. The latter was addressed to R. C. Lindsay the British treasury repre. sentative and in turn referred by hi informally to R. C. Leffingwell, thc assistant secretary of the treasury. The two communications brought jm- ‘mediate questions from members of the committee and a statement from Secre- tary Mellon that the cancellation sus- gestion had not been broached to him since he assumed office and would not to to he to show whether Mr. Wilson of the treasury replied to the communications and the committee adjourned until tomor- row after asking that treasury doeu- ments relative to America’s loans to the allies, now in the custody of the senate judiciary committee be obtained. Questions involved in refunding of the foreign loans also came in for dis- cussion from time to time today on the senate floor in connection with debate on the soldier bonus bill. Senator Kel- logg criticised the Wilson administration for failure to bring about the refund- ing of the allied loans and Senator Glass, treasury of Virginia, secretary of “the aring a portion of that administration, eclared that the United States had en- tered into negotiations with Great Britaln but that the latter had abrupt- ly terminated them without explana- tion. e PERSHING PLEDGES SUPPORT TO MILITARY COMMITTEE ‘Washington, July 14.—General Persh- ing took measures today ‘to establish ter relations hetween the army gen- eral staff, of which he is now head, and congress. Accompanied by his executive assistant, Major Gereral Harboard and unannounced, he called on the military committee of both houses. exchanging pledges of co-operation with chairmen and members in an effort to make the army worthy of the nation. Committeemen said he was the first chief of staff to have thus called inform- v on the committees. Hints of friction between the commit- tees and the staff have been frequent for vears. Apparently it was with knowledge of this situation in mind that General Pershing set out today on his calls. He was greeted cordially and brief ad- dresses were made on both sides .dur- | ing his visits, Senator Wadsworth, New York, and Representative Kahn, Cali- fornia, the committee chairmen, reply- ing. E':'We regard the military committees as very important parts of the military es- tablishment of the United States” sald General Pershing to the senate commit- tee. “We are asking that you give us the advantage of your experience and knowledge of military affairs and we shall do likewise. We shall endeavor to carry out your will as expressed by the | law and hope for most friendly rela- tions.” The general added that, the ‘latch string” of the general staff headquarters was always out for committee members. < X T e BASEBALL DEFENSE - WINS FIRST VICTORY Chicago, Jnly 14—The defense won its first wictory in the trfal of Chicago White Sox plavers and others charged with conspiracy to throw the 1819 world series when Judge Hugo Friend today or-| dered the stafe to permit the defense to interview Bill Burns, former ball player, and Billy Maharg, of Philadeiphia, al- leged accomplices in the conspiracy and who are eald to have agreed to turn state's evidence.

HOUSE CONCLUDES GENERAL DEBATE ON TARIFF BILL Washingon, July 14.—The house con- cluded general debate on the Fordney tariff bill late tonight after the longest session of the six davs since unlimitea discussion began. It is ready to start tomorrow on a seven day stretch of con- sideration of amendgjenis and of de- bate under five minute limitation. Schedules, open to amcndment from the floor, will be taken up, according to an- nouncement of Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee, in the fol- lowing order: Hydes, dye stuffs and dye control, oil, cotton and asphalt. ~ The committee which, by special rule, is permitted o ofier amendments to any paragraph, has many changes it will recommena, mostly, however, it is understood, in the naturc of correction of errors. Oil was to the fore in the day's dis- cussion although Representative Coch- ran, demogat, New York, made 2 two and one-half hour attack on the bill gen- erally describing it as a “policy o1 plunder.” The oll duty inserted in the last mo- ments of committee deliberation had both friend and foe on the ficar durmng the day the disoussion being led by Representa- tives Chandler of Oklohama, in its de- fense and Treadway of Massachusetts in opposition. Both are republican members of the committee which drafted the bill. Mr. Chandler charged that attempma to compel withdrawal of the duty of 35 cents a barrel on crude and 25 cents a barrel on fuel oil were traceable rectly “to propagandists for the Stand- ard Ofi company.” He declared also that the Standard was responsible for the nation-wide impression that there is a shortage of oil and that American oil @eposits must be preserved.” A tariff, he contended, was necessary to maintain American supremacy in oil. Mr. Tredway's opposition was based on the discrimination which he sald would result from an oil duty. He de- clarad it would cost Massachusetts in- tries five million dollars a year in e same time there would be .an ad- tional demand for coal throughout New England, He read & lettez from Gov. Cox, of his state urging defeat of the proposition and saying that New Eng- land business men were unanimous in oppesition to it. TOKIO SILENT 0¥ FAR EAST PEOBLEMS Tokio, July 14—(By the A. P.)—Pres- ident Harding's ruggestion for a confer- ence at Washingten for the limitation of armaments to be accompanied by a dis- cussion of general I'ar Eastern questions by interested powers, has been officially received and was leng'hily deliberate up- on today by the cabinct. (Since the filing of this despaich Ja- pan’s acceptance of President Harding's suggestion for a confecence has been re- ceived at Washington, no reference be- ing made, however, to far eastern ques- tions.) Every difficulty Japanese statesmen are apt to find in attempting to fix thc scope of Japan’s political activities in the future in the far east is put forward here to explain the apprehension, namely, that the armament conference should logically include a discussion of general far eastern problems. g Japanese officials decline to discuss the matter, but the corresponden: is in- formed that that while Japan heartily welcomes the armament _deliberations, the belief prevails that the suggestion of a conference on policies in the far east is one requiring the most careful consideration on the part of Japan and some doubt is expressed as to whether Japan would accept such an invitation blindly. It is pointed out, for exampie that the status of Japanese *s_America is an im- portant question to Japan whic: might like to know whether it is included in the suggested discussion. The plan to invite China to a general far eastern conference is another majter which it is understood, is giving the Japanese authorities food for thought. At all events, Japan apparently considers that the form of the proposal leaves her free to present her views frankly con- cerning the taking up of questions relat- ing to the far east, where Japan has al- ways insisted she holds a special position. REFUSES TO CUT WAGES OF PACKING HOUSE EMPLOYES Chicago, July 14—Employes of middle western and western packing houses, jar- ties to the arbitration agreement with the government, will continue to receive their present wage rate for the prasent, and probably until next September when the agreement expires.

P.)—The great majority of the Irish people ap- pear to entertain no doubt that at the informal conferences in London Eamonu De Valera will assert Ireland’s claim to a republic, based upon the Deople’s de- cision at the elections. When the Brit- ish prime minister, Mr. Lloyd George, as is expected here, replies that a re- public never will be granted, it is pre- dicted he will follow this reply with an offer of the most than can be conced- ed. Everything. it is considered pere, de- pends upon the nature of that offer. The impression gathered by conversations in responsible Irish quarters here is that Mr. De Valera will be able to accept what will be offered. He will keep in touch with Irish opinion and, though it is be- tieved he will maintain the republic prin- ciple he is expected to leave to the Irish people the determination as to whether the warfare shall be carried on or a settlement acoepted. The crux of the situation, as it is viewed here, is finance. The Irish vir- tually are unanimous that mo rystem can be called self-government that with- holds from Irsland control of its own money—to_collect, spend and to ym- pose taxation as it pieases.
