S. SAYS COURSE IS FOLLYj America Would Be Alone, Declares Floor Leader For President Wilson By Associated Press Washington, Sept. 3. —Fresi- dent Wilson, in a final confer- | ence to-day with Senator Hitch- j cock, of Nebraska, before his j departure on his speech-making ; tour to the Pacific coast, ex-1 pressed confidence that the j Treaty finally would be ratified without amendments or "de structive" reservations. The President told Senator Hitchcock that in all his ad-1 dresses during his trip, he ex pected to emphasize that delay in ratification was obstructive of legislation on the cost of liv ing, the railroad question, and All reconstruction problems. Senator Hitchcock, who is! the leading spokesman for the ; administration in the 1 rcaty | fight in the Senate, told the j President he was positive all i amendments to the I rcaty | would be defeated. The Presi- j dent, the Senator said express-1 ed satisfaction with what he be-1 lieved was a "clean-cut issue" j aver amendments. Washington, Sept. 3. Declaring t the real purpose of the Foreign Re- : lations Committee majority in I amending the Peace Treaty was to j kill the Treaty entirely and that such a course would be suicidal to the United States, Senator Hitch cock, of Nebraska, Democratic leader, asserted in a Senate speech to-day that the majority of the Senators never would accept any of the committee changes. The Treaty opponents, he said, "crawl on the ground with a mic roscope searching for pitfalls" in the League of Nations and overlook sub stantial benefits which the Treaty would bring the nation. The pro posal of Senator Knox, Republican, Pennsylvania, that the Treaty be rejected and a separate peace made with Germany was characterized by the speaker as a "mixture of pol tronory and folly." Would Japs Submit? "By a vote of nine to eight," said Senator Hitchcock, "the committee on Foreign Relations is to bring squarely before the Senate the ques tion of defeating the pending Treaty. Suppose the Senate should vote in favor of the Shantung amendment or any other? What would happen? "Either the President would re fuse to go further with the Treaty or he would submit the amendment to the nations associated with the United States. Does anyone believe they would accept it? Does anyone believe that Great Britain, who has already ratified the Treaty and is also under a pledge to Japan with regard to Shantung, would accept the Shantung amendment? Does any one think that France, also under a pledge to Japan, would ratify this ijiange? Does anyone suppose that Japan herself would submit to this humiliation before the eyes of the world? U. S. Plane Flying Over Mexico When Attacked Laredo, Tex., Sept. 3. Mexican Federal soldiers made the attack yesterday upon an American Army airplane fired upon near here while on border patrol duty, but the ma chine was within Mexican territory at the time, according to Mexican Consul Garcia, of Laredo. The firing was "unwarranted," the consul said, and was done in the absence of the detachment's com mander, and the ease has been re ported to the superior authorities for instructions in IV-gard to punish ment of those guilty.

REGISTRATION IS REPORTED IN CITY Trend of Public Opinion Is Shown by Party Enroll ment of Voters The big Republican registration ! of yesterday was the talk of the I town to-day in political circles. It ; was a repetition of what occurred I on the iirst registration day and j indicated strongly the trend of pub- j lie opinion in this section of the State, it being freely predicted that , the Republican vote in November ! will be the largest ever cast in an ] "off year," while the Democratic outlook is correspondingly dismal. This, political forecasters say, is due to two causes; first, dissatisfaction j with the local management of i Democratic affairs, the so-called ] leaders having deserted ihe organi- ; zation in its distress, and secondly, I the complete satisfaction of the men under the present Republican administration. Not a word of criti cism has been heard with respect to any of the county offices or the officials in charge and as the county is strongly Republican and even [Continued oil Page 9.] Price Fixing Killed by Big Senate Vote Py Associated Press.

EXPLORER IS DRIFTING IN ICE ! LOCKED SHIP Amundsen on Dash to North' Pole Is Believed Floating North of Siberia Seattle, Sept. 3. —Bound for the North Pole, Roald Amundsen, Nor wegian discoverer of the South Pole, is at present drifting in his j ice locked scnooner, the Maud, somewhere north of western Siberia, | according to beliefs held by the i Seattle Norwegian vice-consulate | and Vilhajalmur Stefansson, Can- | adian Artie explorer. In planning the trip, the explorer i said he expected, after reaching the ■ pole, to return either to Grant Land, j west of Greenland or Melville Is- | land, which lies in the Arctic Ocean north of Canada. Should he reach I Melville Island he probably would ■ journey by sea to Nome, Alaska or I overland to Dawson, Yukon terri tory. Two airplanes, it is believed, formed part of the Maud's equip ment when she left Norway last fall and sailed through the White Sea bound for the icy north. The final dash to the pole may be made in one of the planes. Amundsen, it is believed, may also fly back to civilization in one of the machines. No Word in Year Nothing has been heard from 1 Amundsen since September 1. 1918; i At that time the Maud was reported i taking oil for her motors at Dixson | Island, a White Sea point. After taking the oil she sailed northeast I into the rapidly freezing waters of I the Arctic Ocean. j From White Sea, Amundsen ex ! pected to drift eust with the ice to ' the New Siberian islands, whic# lie lin the Arctic off Siberia. At the New Siherian Islands, it was be t lieved, the drift would carry the I boat toward, if not across, the pole, i Amundsen intended to use the air | planes if he found the drift would I not carry him across the "top of I the earth." | Amundsen in a degree followed the footsteps of his countryman, ! Fridtjof Nansen, in 1895-96. Nan i sen in the Fram started on a drift across the pole but left his boat ! and tr'ed unsuccessfully to reach the goal on foot. I-ater the Fram I drifted as close to the pole as Nan sen got. Expects Scientific Data The Maud carries wireless send ing apparatus hut no receiving in struments. Amundsen said he would I not install the receiving apparatus because he did not want to be wor- I ried by news from the outside I world. I The Norwegian government this summer arranged to establish sev eral food depots on Grant Land, from Cape Columbus to Robinson chan nel, for the use of Amundsen in ease he comes out by his eastern route. > If he comes toward the west and strikes Melville Island he will find himself on familiar, ground fbr he passed near Melville Island when he discovered the Northwest Pass age in 1903-06. Amundsen expects to obtain scientific data at the pole. He will take soundings, observe the ocean drifts, study the tee conditions and bring back full reports.

TIGHT HOLDING IN DANCES TABOO, SAYS CITY CENSOR Police Matron Rules Against the "Shimmic, the Wrig gle and the Wiggle" Vulgarity is not to be permitted in the dances staged in this city. Th s is the ultimatum of Mrs. Edith B. Eergstresser, police matron, one of whose duties is that ot visiting the city dance halls to see that they are properly conducted. The matter of tight holding at dances, especially, comes in for the condemnation of Mrs. Bergstresscr and It is along this linu that she will direct her most vigorous efforts. She has given her approval to the promises to enforce the advice of dancing mas ters to the effect that there must be at least one or two inches betw'een the dancers. That is close enough for all gracefulness, she says. "Shlmnile" Not For Us The "shlmmie" is absolutely tabooed in Harrisburg, according to the police matron. There have been few at tempts to stage any exhibitions' of in In the city and none will be permitted if vigilance will result in eliminating them, It Is promised. Among the other more vulgar practices in dancing | to be barred are: j Girl's arm clutched around the man's neck; her head resting on hia shoulder; the wriggle; the wiggle . the squirm : "exaggerated jazz." The New Rules | The accepted forms of dancing, as j set forth by their Harrisburg censor, : are: One-step, fox-trot, with simple ; tango step added, and the waltz. The "position" of both parties is radically ; different. The girl's arm no more will I cprve closely around the man's collar; lit must rest lightly on his shoulder ' and very "lightly" at that. His hand ' must not slip down to her waist. Such • is the advice which Harrisburg danc j ers must follow, if they wish to con : duct themselves properly at dance j halls in the city limits.
