Dr. New library NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Mr. Stimson Returning With Naval Treaty—Fight on It Due in Senate. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ECRETARY OF STATE STIMSON and his colleagues in the London naval conference sailed for the United States Wednesday bringing with them a certified copy of the naval treaty which the senate will soon be asked to accept or reject. The treaty was signed on Tuesday by the represent. atives of the five powers concerned, the ceremony taking place at the final plenary session of the conference in the Queen Anne drawing room of St James’ palace. Prime Minister Mac Donald, Mr. Stimson, Aristide Briand, Rejiro Wakasuki and Admiral Sori- anni all spoke at some length and then affixed their signatures to the momentous document. The confer- ence then was adjourned, with the way left open for its resumption when and if France and Italy can he brought into the full treaty by diplo- matjc negotiations, Though the results of the three months of work in London fell far short of the hopes of those who spon- sored the parley, they are by no means small, The treaty, though sigued by all five powers, is in the main a three power pact between the United States, Great Britain and Japan by which those nations agree to limit the ton- nage of all classes of fighting ships America is to scrap three battleships, England five, and Japan one. The sections of the treaty adhered to by France and Italy provide for a five year holiday in battleship bullding, prescribe rules of submarine warfare and relate to less important phases of disarmament. The compromise reached between the French global and the British and American categorical methods of limiting tonnage was omit- ted from the document but will be transmitted to the League of Nations for use by its preparatory committee on disarmament. That the treaty would not have an easy time getting through the senate was assured when the plans of Sen- ator Hale of Maine, chalrman of the naval affairs committee, became known. He is leading the opposition and in his first attack on the pact will charge that its ratification will not give the United States parity in naval ships with Great Britain duc ing the life of the pact. He also will attack the treaty on the ground that its provisions allowing Japan an in- crease in cruiser, submarine, and de- stroyer ratio will weaken the Ameri- can naval position in the Far East and lower this country's prestige in the Orient. It was said Mr. Hale found many admirals of the navy were hostile to the treaty mainly because of limita- tions placed on American building of 8-inch gun cruisers and the increase in the Japanese ratios. Senator Borah, chairman of the foreign relations com- mittee, and Senators Reed of Penn sylvania and Robinson of Arkansas, are expected to lead the fight in be- half of ratification of the pact. EBUTTAL evidence by the wets was heard by the house judiciary committee, the principal witnesses be- ing Pierre 8. du Pont, millionaire chem- ical and munitions manufacturer; Maj, Gen. Clarence R. Edwards, comman- der of the Twenty-sixth division. A. E. F.; Miss Elizabeth Harris, repre. senting the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform, and Dr. Clarence F. Buck, secretary of the Federal Dispensary-Tax Reduction league. Mr. du Pont presented argu- ments and statements designed to re fute the claims of the drys that the country's prosperity in recent years has been due mainly or in any marked degree to prohibition, General Ed. wards bitterly attacked the prohibi- tlonists for putting through the Eight. eenth amendment while the soldiers were overseas, told the bad results of drying up the military reserva. tions as a preliminary experiment and gave facts and figures showing the excellent behavior of the American troops In France where they were per- mitted to drink wines and beer. Declaring that “temperance” was his objective In coming from his farm in Westwood, Mass, to talk to the committee, he described prohibition as “the most intemperate thing that ex- ists.” EFORE another committee, that of the senate on lobbying, the liquor issue also was dominant. Henry H. Curran, president of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, had been summoned to tell of the ac- tivities of the officials of that organi- zation, and he proved a very lively witness. In his first day's testimony he predicted the development of a new national party made up of the wel elements of both the Republican and Democratic parties, the platform for which already has been written by Dr. Samuel H. Church, president of the Carnegle Institute of Technology. He gald Pierre du Pont has indorsed proposal and has said the new party will be successful. As for Mr. Curran freely admitted his asso- ciation took part in the campaigns in Wisconsin and Illinois for repeal of the state liquor laws, but said he didn't see what that had to do with “lobbying in and around Washington,” which is the subject of the commit. tee's inquiry and of which he declared the association had not been guilty. Next day Senator Robinson of Indi- ana came to bat with sensational charges that Curran’'s association had “lobbied with members of the United States Supreme Court.” He produced letters written by T. W. Phillips, Jr, Republican gubernatorial aspirant in Pennsylvania and a director of the association, to Justice Stone and the late Justice Sanford, and denounced them as “the most amazing thing 1 ever heard of.” Three hundred delegates represent- ing the hundred thousand members of the Women's Organization for Nation- al Prohibition Reform held a confer. ence in Cleveland, Ohio. A platform calling for repeal of the Eighteenth amendment was adopted, and Mrs. Charles Sabin of New York. founder of the organization, was elected its first president. OSTAL substation leases are about to be investigated by a special sen- ate committee, and at least one of them already is being probed by the federal trade commission. It is pre- dicted that the Inquiries will turn up a scandal rivaling the Teapot Dome affair. Rumors involve the names of high post office and other government officials In an alleged conspiracy that is said to have mulcted the govern- ment of millions of dollars and taken the life savings of thousands of in- nocent investors throughout the coun- try. NTOMINATION of Judge Parker of i North Carolina to be an associ ate justice of the Supreme court was rejected by the senate judiciary com- mittee, and the matter goes to the floor of the senate. The vote to re port adversely on the nomination was 10 to 6. The negro Issue caused the defection of three administration Re publicans and the opposition of organ. fzed labor accounted for the votes of the radicals on the committee, HREE hundred and eighteen In- mates of the Ohlo state penitentl ary at Columbus lost their lives In one of the worst holocausts of recent years, and the pity of it Is that not one of them need have died if the cell tiers had been unlocked promptly. At least, that is the statement of A. BE. Nice, fire chief of Columbus. Where the blame iz to be placed will be de- termined by an official Inquiry. The fire started, apparently, from a short circuited wire and spread with great rapidity, and most of the vie tims perished In locked cells, The other prisoners, numbering many hun- dreds, being freed, helped the firemen and guards in rescue work and some of them performed notable acts of heroism, Warden P. E. Thomas sald at the investigation of the disaster that he did not provide general fire protection at the prison because the Columbus fire companies could reach there In two minutes, and that he did not go inside the walls to the scene of the fire because he had given or. ders and expected them to be carried out.

Year in and year out the coming of spring means the coming of the street repair gang and the going of tax payers’ money.

All that is neces. sary for a motorist te do is to drive his car onto a platform, pull a lever, obtain a check, and his car Is auto matically whisked upward out of sight. The device immediately places another empty platform at ground lev. el, ready for another car. When read: fo leave, the motorist can push a but. ton corvesponding to his check, and his car is delivered to him at ground level almost Immediately. The ma chine consists of two endless chains passing over wheels at the top and bottom. Platforms are suspended be tween these chains. Each platform provides space for one automobile.
