1—Dr. E. York. rebels, Urgriweed § Vodriwind NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Smith of Illinois Is Barred From the Senate—More Money for Army. By EDWARD w. PICKARD RANK L. senator-designate from SMITH, senator-elect and Ilinols, is at least until the commit tee on privileges and elections has passed his qualifications, By a vote of 48 to 33 the senate on Thurs- day withheld the eath eof from him. Twenty-nine Republicans four Democrats voted in faver of seat. ing Smith, and 15 Republicans and 32 Democrats against him. Mr. Smith ap- peared In the senate chamber Wednes- day and submitted his credentials in the form of an appointment by Gov- ernor Small. Senator Deneen of 1ii- nois at once moved that Smith be sworn in pending reference of the charges against him to the privileges and elections committee. Senator Reed of Missouri moved that the oath be withheld temporarily, contending tuat Smith's disqualification already had been established by the investi gation of the Illinois primary slush fund scandal conducted by the special committee of which Reed Is chairman. General debate on the matter was thus opened, and for hours the sena- tors discussed the problem, some hold: ing that the senate had no power over Smith until he became a mem- ber, and others demanding that he be refused the oath of office. Constitu- tional points were argued and prece- dents brought forward: and while nat- urally no one defended Smith's accept- ance of campaign funds from Sam Insull, public utilities magnate, the number of those who defended his right to be sworn in was rather sur- prising. Next day the debate was resumed and a vote taken, with the result noted above. The committee's inquiry may not be completed for sev- eral weeks, possibly not before March 4, so there Is little chance for Smith to get in this session. The vote seemed to make it certain he will be barred also by the new senate. the senate, on office RESIDENT COOLIDGE'S economy program for the army was knocked galley-west by the house, which ap- proved of appropriations totaling $2 612,674 for the strictly military activi- ties of the War department. This makes avallable $0.477.000 more than was recommended by the budget bu- reau. One provision maintains the en- listed personnel strength of the army at 118750. Other sections increase the army ration allowance from 33.74 cents a day per man to approximately 40 cents a day by adding $2.688.530 to the budget's estimates, provide for the purchase of 1.000 more horses and 725 more mules than the budget would have allowed, provide $042.530 more for National Guard activities, $446, 878 more for the organized reserves, and $382,410 more for the operation of citizens’ military training camps than the budget recommended, “Big navy” advocates in the senate appropriations committee carried on the fight for construction of three light cruisers, that was just barely lost In the house, and the committee amended the house navy supply bill by including that feature, Increasing the total voted by the lower chamber by $5,207 854. This was highly pleasing to the strong national defense advocates, but word came promptly from the White House that the President would veto the bill If it went to him carrying the provision for bullding additional eruls- ers this year. He still feels that this would be a step toward precipitating another naval armament race and would be a violation of the spirit of the Washington arms treaty, Y A vote of 50 to 84, six short of the necessary two-thirds, the sen. ate rejected the Lausanne treaty with Turkey, for the ratification of which a long and earnest campaign had been carried on’ and which had been de- bated for many hours In executive ses. sion, The treaty was sponsored by the administration and supported by Senator Borah, chairman of the foreign relations committee, Swan- son and King led the opposition, tending that the pact gives up histori guarantees of justice for Americans in Turkey without securing adequate safeguards in their place, that it in effect acquiesces In the Turkish re fusal to recognize American naturall- zation laws in so far they affect Turks who return to their native land; that it falls adequately to protect the charitable and philanthropic enter prises of Americans in Turkey, and that it abandons Armenia, notwith standing pledges that secured.

Speaking for the committee, Chairman Haugen said: “The big problems of American agriculture to- day are beyond the power of individ ual farmers or of their relatively small organizations to solwe. These prob lems arise because the prices of farm products are uncertain and unprofit able due (1) to seasonal variations in vield and (2) to’ competition with the products of European and Asiatic peasant labor and of pew lands with lew production costs, “The best judgment is that the rem- edy will be found (1) In products over from fat years to years aud equating a price supply and demand over a period of years rather than for one year, and (2) in managing the tariff fective when ne stable markets, “To do these things requires voir of money and credit after manner of the capital stock of federal reserve banks.” have tion count eerie on agricultural products ef cessary to mo RR reser Federal District court, of the senate to compel the appearance of witnesses before its committees, force the production of records and to punish for contempt those witnesses who refuse to testify. he opinion was in the case of Mal 8. Daugherty, brother ef the former attorney general, and he was remand- ed to the custody of the senate’s ser- geant at arms, Members of the senate interpreted the finding as ample grounds for the punishment of Sam- uel Insull, utilities magnate; State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe, and Ed- ward H. Wright, colored member of the Illinois state commerce commis sion, all of Chicago, for their refusal to testify during the investigation of the recent lllinois senatorial primary. HATEVER may be the outcome of his other troubles, President Calles of Mexico has succeeded in one of his aims. He has conquered the hitherto unconquerable Yaqui Indians of Sonora. Their leaders, Including Chief Luls Matus and eight governors of pueblos, presented to General Man- zo, commander of the federal troops, a document offering to surrender un- conditionally, to give up their arms and to support the government in its fight against its enemies, This offer was accepted by President Calles and Minister of War Amaro. The Yaquis, who were short of money, food and ammunition, sald they had been de- ceived by the De la Huerta party and by agents in the United States and induced to rebel. The war against them lasted six months and the gov. ernment built a great military road 300 miles long that completely sur rounded the Indians in the Bacatete mountain region, Catholle rebels In the state of Jalisco sustained a severe defeat by the fed Atotonilco and lost that town. It was asserted in Mexico City that these rebels were lead by Bishop Orozco y Jiminez of Guadalajara, but this Is doubted by the close friends of that prelate, In the state of Zacatecas the rebels were reported as making a strong attack on Nochistan, This matter of the "Catholic rebel lion" caused a lively debate In the United States senate when Heflin of L atinck the asserting they United Alabama made an Knights of Columbus, were trying to Involve States in war with Mexico because of that country's treatment of the Cath olie church, His charges were strongly nssalled Walsh of Massachusetts, Ransdell of Louisiana and Ashurst of Arizona, all Democrats and all Cath by Bruce of Maryland and Heed of Missouri, who also are Democrats, The also took cognizance of the dispute over the Mexican ofl anil tobinson of Ar resolution declaring that the dis arbitration, State Kellogg it declaring on the by olles senate land laws Senator kansas it the offered a of the senate settled by of a statemer welcomed Ro had Rense pute should be and Secretary promptly issued binson's sugges alren been consider lity of applying the prin the and of arbitration to The Mexican government ace bitrdation “in pris Alberto J.
