VaUeJo, Calif.. July 0. (Ry A.
P.) -r The extraordinarily warm
weather of the present summer I
caused by an unusual downpour of
meteors on the sun, Increasing Its
radiation nnd effective surface tem
perature, is the belief of Prof.
T. J. J. Sec, Government astrono
mer nt the Mare Island Navy Yard.
Citing the fnct that unusually
warm summers occur every ten or
eleven years, he said that "now, for
the firnt time, by profound re
searches, astroftomcrs are able to
throw some light" upon this great
mystery,
"Since a mnss 'of meteoric matter
greater than our moon Is falling Into
Hho sun every century," ho enld, "It
Is very Improbable that the down
pour "proceeds nt n uniform rate.
If it comes down In custs under
the actions of the chief planets,

should have sudden Increases of the

Is a sufficient explanation of the tin

Father and son went to a woods In

hnve been notified to watch for the
children.
Jefferson Gibson, chief of police of
tho seashore resort, has nsked the po

land to join in the search,, and has fur
nished them with descriptions of the
children nnd also of Mf. and Mrs.
Henry James, who disappeared nt the
same time, from Sunnysldo Villa, Cape
May, where they had been staying.
Detcctlvo Frank Lore, of Bridgcton,
N. J., has been especially assigned to
the case. Everything that the police
authorities of Cape Mny and the sur
rounding territory enn do to clear up
the mystery and recover the children Is
being done.
Finds Ally In Granduncle
Mrs. Woodland has found a firm ally
In John Wllbrnham, the children's
wealthy granduncle, n former Philadel
phia manufacturer, who makes his
homo in Cope Mny. Mr. Wilbralmm
told his niece before she left yesterday
for Chattanooga thnt he would back her

known to almost every one In Cape May.

Mrs. woodland believes her husband,

father's family lived on a farm ten
miles from Richmond, Vn., nnd that
sho and her husband lived on Marshall

which is near tho Cnpltol.
Sy James Acted Qucerly
According to Mrs. Bennett, James
acted queerly the day before he and
his wife disappeared. He told her thnt
night thnt lie had been unable to sleep
for several nights and therefore thought
he would not go to bed. Mrs. Jaines
said that they were thirsty nud she and
her husband went to get n sodn. The

nctt said, nnd then went directly to
their room, on the fourth floor.
On one occasion during their stn
nt the Villa, Mrs. Bennett said, Mrs.
James had received a letter from her
mother telling her daughter thnt she
prnjed every night for her, that she
and her husband would "give theii
henrts to God." Mrs. Bennett snld the
letter seemed to hnve a profound effect
on Mrs. Jnmes and thnt she cried a

VERSAILLES PACT
PROBLEM STILL
L
Sonato Expoctod to Defor Ques
tion of Resubmission Until
Regular Session
HUGHES AND HOOVER SAID
TO OPPOSE FURTHER DELAY
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Staff rorrmnondrnt Kveolnic .Public Ideer
Covjrtoht, lilt, bv Public l.tAotr Co.
Washington, July 0. From the
White House It Is lenrned thnt the
question of resubmitting the Versailles
Treaty and in whnt form to resubmit It
Is no fearer solution than It has been.
On tho .one hnnd Congress Is Jn con
fusion. The Senate has Its calendar
full of bills which tho Administration
docs not desire to see pass. President
Harding has just attempted to estab
lish his leadership over Congress nnd
the submission of such a contentious
subject ns the treaty would weaken his
control.
On the other there Is the pressure
to re-establish relations in Europe nnd
protect American economic Interests
there. It is known thnt Sccrptnry
Hoover has rendered n report to Presi
dent Harding nnd Secretary Hughes
upon the commercial interests of the
United States which can be best safe
guarded by the ratification of the Ver
sailles Treaty, at least in part. Mr.
Hughes Is said to concur In Hoover's
view thnt It Is unwise to delay action.
Further Delay Forecast
No decision has been reached, but
the difficulties nt the Cnpltol seem to
make it unlikely tnat tuc treaty in any I
1 form will go before the Senate until the
regular
session in December. If the i
tariff bill runs over into that session, the
official of the Government who called
attention to thc fnct that n three-line
decision recently announced by the
Reparations Commission sent European
exchnnge down 15 points nnd ns a
consequence stopped thc export of
wheat from this country with the rc-
suit that wheat in Chicago dropped
nine cents n bushel.
This decision was the order of
Reparations Commission thnt Gem
f the
erman.v
vote, una me ti "i j nine iu
cause dislocations in American trade
slmllnr to this one. It is the most pow
erful economic body the world has ever
been.
This upset in the whent price at
Chicago is u specific instnnce of whnt
can be done under the Versailles treaty
without our having any power of veto
uuless we ratify tho treaty. It is
something that has already happened.
Exchange In Commission's Hands
But It is only trivial to what the
Reparations Commission can nnd will
do that will vitally affect American
trade -relations. The commission not
only can move foreign exchange up nnd
