SENATE RATIFIES
FOUR-POWER PACT
treaty wins by close margin,
THE VOTE TAKEN BEING
67 TO 27
U. S. FIRST TO RATIFY PACT
This Action Makes U. S. Partner With
Great Britain, France And Japan
To Keep Peace Os The Pacific
The United States went into part
nership with Great Britain, France and
Japan to keep the peace of the Pa
cific. when the senate ratified the four-
j >ower Pacific treaty. The vote was
67 to 27.
The United States is the first to
ratify the treaty, which also scraps
the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
Attached to the treaty was the
Brandegre reservation, approved by
Fn idem Harding, which states that
the United States, in ratifying the
treaty, understands that It contains
no commitment to armed force, no
alliance, -xcept the one sponsored by
Brnndegei*.
Ratification came after administra
tion forces, in more than four hours
of roll calls, had swept down ty de
feat all reservations and amendments,
except the one sopnaored hy Hrande
gee.
The action clears the way for rapid
ratification of the nnval limitation
treaty and other pacts growing out of
the arms conference, hostile forces
having concentrated their attack on
the four-power treaty.
The vote showed four more than the
necessary two-third and the roll-call
showed twelve Democrats votng for
ratification and four Republicans
against ratification.
The dozen Democrats favoring rat
ification were Broussard, Dial, Flet
cher, Kendrick, McKellar, Myers,
Owen, l’omerene. Ram-dell.
The four Republican opponents were
Borah, France, Johnson and LaFol
lette.
Two absent senators, Crow, Repub
lican, Pennsylvania, and Jones, Dem
ocrat, New Mexico, were announced
ns supporters of the treaty.
Senate approval of the pact was
voted after all proposed amendments
and reservations except the "no alli
ance" declaration accepted by Presi
dent Harding had been defeated.
A long succession of proposed
amendments and reservations to thd
four-power Pacific treaty were voted
down one after another hy the sen
ate as it approached a final roll call
on ratification.
For the most part the majorities
were overwhelming and virtually coin
cident with party lines. Only a hand
ful of Democrats stood with their tit
ular leader, Senator Underwood, of
Alabama, against the effort to qualify
the ratification resolution, and only the
litth- group of Irreconcilubles opposed
the Republican leadership of Senator
Ijodge. of Massachusetts, to vote with
the reservationlats.
The strength recorded for the pro
posed qualifying declaration hovered
close to thirty on succeeding roll calls,
but was not sufficient to Ruffle the
confidence of the two party chiefs,
both of whom were members of the
American arms delegation, that the
final count on ratification later in the
afternoon would show a safe margin
over the necessary two-thirds.
Scene Os Lincoln Conspiracy On Block
Washington. A forlorn-looking,
dark gray old house was placed on the
auction block here but the auctioneer
thought It was worth more than the
bidders bid. II was the home of Mrs.
Mary Surrat. who was executed as one
of the Lincoln conspirators, and it was
in the little front parlor of the once
pretentious residence that the con
spirators met and planned the death
of the martyred president. The house,
standing then in the center of the
residential section, was used as a
boarding house by Mrs, Surratt for
many years prior to 1865.*

Chicago Frank Piano. Sr., who kill
ed his son "to save his soul," was
acquitted by a jury here. The father \
testified that his son was hanging
around pool rooms with a gang of
hoys ho feared would lead his boy
Into trouble. He tried to get the hoy
to come home with him one night
when he found him with these boys.
The son refused and the father shot
and killed him. The jury declared
him insane when the crime was com
mitted, but since recovered, insuring
the father's discharge.

P. 0. BILL PASSES IN SENATE:
Bitter Attack Made On Item For
Gotham By Several Democrats,
Charging “Steal.”
Washington.—Thte postoffice appro
priation bill, carrying $623,773,000, was j
passed by the senate after a heated!
fight, carrying $63,309,000 more than [
aB passed by the house, $50,000,000 i
; of the Increase going for refleral high- j
way aid.
The bill also carries provisions for
restoring to service the New York 1
pneumatic mail tubes and for contlnu- j
ing the New York to San Francisco j
air mail service. The vote on the tube :
amendment was 39 to 19 and came |
after a bitter attack had been made
on the proposition by several Demo
crats. The $50,000,000 was accepted
hy the senate without debate and with
out a roll call.
A fight centering around postoffice
appointments, originating early in
discussion of the bill, resulted just
before adjournment of the senate In
the introduction hy Senator Harrison —
Democrat, Mississippi—of a resolution
calling on the president to supply
the senate with the number of execu
tive orders be has issued removing
postoffices from civil service classi
fication. Tho resolution went over un
der the rules.
The fight which culminated in the
Harrison resolution was precipitated
by an amendment increasing the num
ber of postal inspectors frvim 420 to
520, a move which Mr. Harirson as- j
sorted was 'o make more places for
Republicans. The debate quickly en
tered the subject of postmaster ap
pointments and thq president was
charged with having removed the Mar
ion, Ohio, office from civil service by
executive order so that he could ap
point the postmaster in his home town.
This amendment involved $235,000
—but it required two hours of discus
sion and a record vote of 40 to 21 be
fore it was finally put into the bill.

SOLDIER BONUS
PASSES IN HOUSE
GREAT EXCITEMENT PREVAILED
WHILE DEBATING WAB IN
PROGREBS
VOTE ON MEASURE 33 TO 70
:
President Is Expected To Make Fight
For Delay Measure May
Be Vetoed
- \
Washington.—The house passed the
! $4,000,000,000 soldier bonus bill.
Since no amendments were* permit
ted under the rule, the measure as
passed was in the same form as re
ported from the house ways and means
committee. It provides cash payments
to men entitled to receive SSO or less;
1 an endowment insurance certificate
on which service men may borrow up
to 50 per cent of its face value for
others, and service men are given the
option of these two provisions, or
home-aid, farm aid, land settlement
or vocational training.
The bill now goes to the senate, j
where President Harding will make
a fight to have It delayed.
Unde* the rule a two-thirds ma
jority was required to pass the meas
ure.
The vote was 333 to 70, vastly more
j than sufficient to put the measure
through the lower branch. Four voted ;
present.
The president’s fight for delaying or
entirely rewriting the bill in the sen
ate, so that it may definitely provide
funds for the soldiers’ compensation,
was started ever before the measure
had passed the house. The treasury
department let It be known that col
lections on the March 15 installment
of the income and profits taxes indi
cated that they would fall about $60,-
000,000 below the estimates for the
quarter.
On the basis of collections thus far,
the March 15 installment, it was said,
will be only about $400,000,000 as
compared with $460,000,000 expected.
If this proves true after a!J collections
are compiled at the end of them onth,
the treasury will face a shortage of
over $200,000,000 in the estimated rev
enue from this source during the cal
endar year of 1922, entirely upsetting
' the treasury’s pogram for continuing
j reduction of the public debt and mak
) ing necessary further borrowing by
| the government to meet appropriations
made upon the basis of budget esti
mates.
The falling oil in tax revenues is
attributable, treasury officials said, I
to the industrial deperssion, and the
extent of this may be indicated from !
! the fact that he $400,000,000 expect
! ed front thef irst quarter's collections
i this year are as against $728,000,000
collected from the same sources for
the'corresponding quarter last year.
To add a bonus drain to this, treas
ury officials indicated, would render
! even more difficult the government’s
financial operations.

MINERS’ STRIKE INEVITABLE
Non-Union Production, Together With
Supplies On Hand, Expected To
Outlast Shutdown
Indianapolis, Ind. —Suspension at
work by all union coal miners at mid
night, March 31, was ordered by offi
cers of the United Mine Workers of
America, the call being the first ever
issued for both bituminous and anthra
cite workers to walk out simultane
ously. Six hundred thouirand men will
be directly affected by the order, it
is officially estimated. The suspen
sion, the order provides, will continue
until stopped by union officials.
The order, which was sent to the
3,000 local unions, directed the miners
; to give the operators their fullest co- j
operation in the protection of mine j
property and counseled against vio- j
lence and violations of the law. In !
addition to affecting all union miners ;
in the United States, the order also <
directed approximately 6,650 union j
men in western Canada to join in the
walkout, but did not apply to 14,000
miners in Nova Scotia.
Never before in the history of the
. coal industry has a suspension ot j
strike order called for cessation of !
work by all unuion miners in the Unit- :
ed States. In the past, wage contracts |
in the bituminous and anthracite
fields have not expired at the same
time, but a complete tie-up in union
fields was considered during the great* :
anthracite strike in 1902.
A sympathetic strike by the bitumi
nous miners at that time was rejected
by the union's convention, it being ar
gued that the soft coal workers were
bound by contract.

i it was said officially that the work of

even- field voting overwhelmingly in
favor of a suspension. Indications
are that nine -tenths of the miners
favor the walkout.
Cessation of the suepension, in
v/hole or part, is left to the union’s
policy committee, composed of more
than 100 union officials, which will
meet in Cleveland soon to consider
plans for conducting the strike. Out

The Very Next Dose of This
Treacherous Drug May
Start Trouble.
You know what calomel is. It’s mer
cury; quicksilver. Calomel is danger
ous. It crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put Into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents which
j Is a harmless vegetable substitute for i
, dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn’t start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your

Don’t take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a ’day’s
work. Dodson’s Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. No
salts necessary. Give It to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate. —Advertisement.
