SENATE COMMITTEE URGES SHIPS BE HELD
REPUBLICAN SENATORS DESERT LODGE ON TREATY VOTE;
HOUSE PASSES ESCH-CUMMINS BILL FOR RETURN OF ROADS
House Passes Measure by Vote of
250 to 150—Upper Body
. Ready to Jam It Through.
Vigt.ry for Esch-Cummins Bill
Was Foreseen, but Majority
Was Greater Than Expected.
(By Universal Service.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—The
House has given its final approval
to legislation for the return of the
railroads to private operation when
it adopted the conference report on
tz BEsch-Cummins hill by a vote of
250 to 150, with one member voting
present.
The conference report now goes to
the Senate, where Senator Cummins
“Vm chairmsn of the conference
on {bat side, says it wi
be adopted in time for the law 'to
‘become operative before Mateh 1,
the date on which President Wilson
has announced he will turn the
roads back, provided the President
signs the act.
Adoption of the conference report
in the House followed immediately‘
upen -the- rejection, 171 to 228, of aI
motlon by Reprasentative Barkley of
Kentucky to send the bill back to
eonfercnee. Mr. Barkley was one of
the two dissenting Democratic con-‘
ferees. His motion carried no in
structions as to changes in the bill. ‘
Twenty-one of the representatives
who favored the moticn to recommit
the bill supported the conference re
port on final adoption. The one ad
ditional vote in favor,K of the report
on the finw. ballot was cast by a
member who was absent when the
first roll call was taken.
PASSED BY BIG VOTE.
On the fina] adoption of the re
port, 206 Republicgns and 44 Demo
erdts voted in the affirmative,
The negative vote was: Democrats,
125; Republicans, 21; Independents,
$® Prohibitionist, 1.
The vote to recommit was: No—
Republicans, 201; Democrats, 27.
Yes—Democrats, 144; Republicans,
23; Independents, 3; Prohibitionist, 1.
The size of the mzjurmes, 57
against recommitting the measure
and™ 100 for its adoption, came as a
distinet surprise to the Republican
Jeaders. They were visibly appre
hensive yesterday of the strength of
the opposition and declared even
after the debate got under way today
they feared the result would be “dan
gerously close.”
A safe majority for the legisla
tion was indicated early in the de
bate, however, by the enthusiastic
demonstration accorded Representa
tive Esch of Wisconsin, chairman of
the House Conference Commictee, at
the conclusion of his speech in sup
port of the conference report. A large
number of Democrats joined with
practically all of the Republicans in
the ovation.
'{ho result was clinched when Re
publican Leader Mondell closed the
five-hour discussion with a speech
carefully designed to whip in line the
reoalcitrant members on that side.
He sald the passage of the railroad
bill was the “greatest service to our
ecountry and our constituency that we
shall be priyileged to perform during
this Congress.” He added:
“The responsibility for the passage
of the measure is primarily on this
side. We are about to determine
whether or no, as a party in this
House of Representatives, we are
qualified to legislate along construc
tive lines."” -

Original Amendment Adopted
~ Providing for Means for With
drawal From League of Nations
IWordy Battle on Floor Precedes
Vote—Johnson Assails Root.
More Amendylents Monday.
By JAMES R. NOURSE,
Staff Correspondent Universal Service
l WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Ten Re
publican senators has broken from
Senator ILodge's leadership in tfie
Senate and assisted the Democrats in
defeating the proposed amendment to
the original Lodge reservation which
provides for notice of withdrawal
from the league. ’
The insurgents were all of the par
ticular group in the Senate known as
the irreconcilables, and in voting to
'defeat Senator Lodge's amendment
ltney simply carried out the purpose
i announced by them a few weeks ago
to the effect that they would not
permit _any of the original Lodge
reservations to be changed.
Their action today makes it certain
that \very change proposed in the
reservation, either by Senator
Lodge or by the administration lead
ers, will be rejected, and that the
final vote in the Senate on the ques
tion of ratification will come on ac
ceptance or rejection of the original
Lodge reservation, just as it was last
November,
Following the defeat of the pro
posed amendment, the Senate re
adopted the first reservation in the
exact form in which it was adopted
before. All of the Republicans and
ten Demodrats voted for it, the re.
sult being 45 to 20. Senator Hitch
cock and the closest of the admin
istration men voted against it.
The vote by which the reservation
was adopted was the first two-thirds
vote recorded on any phase since
the fight on the treaty began,
A YEAR'S BATTLE.
This action by the Senate was on
the anniversay of the beginning of
the treaty fight in the Senate, which
was started a year ago while Presi
dent Wilson was yet in Paris,
The. amendment which Senator
Lodge proposed to his reservation
would have authorized the President
alone, or Congress by a majority
vote in both Houses, to serve notice
upon the other natjons in the league
of the purpose of the United States to
withdraw. In many respects the op
ponents of the treaty viewed this
reservation with }he amendment as
much sronger than the original res
ervation. Several of the irreconcil
ables preferred it, because it would
have made easier the process of
withdrawal. It was even conceded
that if an enemy of the treaty were
elected to the presidency his first act
would be to withdraw from the league
without any aflvice or assistance
from Congress.
But the irreconcilabes, led by Sen
ators Borah, Johnson and Brandegee,
had notified Senator Lodge that they
would not permit the reservations to
be changed, so they all voted with the
Democrats. The ten Republicans
thus voting were Senators Borah,
Brandegee, France, Gronna, Knox,
Moses, Norris, Poindexter and Sher
man. On the first vote Senator
Frelinghuysen voted with them, but
changed on the affirmative,

By FLOYD McGRIFF, |
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S.
LONDON, Feb. 22.—Premier Nitti
of Italy, the central figdre in the in
ternational storm over Fiume, broke
his silence tonight and in an exclu
sive interview with the International
News Service declared he is ready to
open direct negotiations with Jugo-
Slavia as soon as the exchange of
notes cver President Wilson's Adri
atic protest terminates in a satisfac
tory agreement.
The Italian premier thus outlines
his attitude, as spokesman for Italy:
“l desire above all a settlement
that will insure the friendship and
co-operation of the United States.
“Secondly, I want an adjustment
which will leave no rancor in Italy or
Jugo-Slavia.
“l want to be the friend of Jugo-
Slavia, even if Jugo-Slavia does not
desire it. Who could go further than
that?™
] 'ljhe premier refused to go further
into details, in view of the negotia
tions now proceeding between London
and Washington. However, it |ls
learned from an authoritative source
that Premier Nitti is willing, should
the pact of London be put into' ef
fect, to guarantee Jugo-Slavia and
Dalmatia the right of plebiscite, or
some-ather form of self-determination
as to their own political future.
Premier Nitti's colleagues say that
he is determined not to create a Jugo-
Slav irredenta or sow the seeds of a
future war.

Wilson’s Arger Aroused by Fail

(By Universal Service.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22—President
Wilson's note to the allies on the sub
ject of Fiume is ®xpected to go ror-l
ward Monday. It was still in the
state department today.
The note, it was reported, will con
tain no “bad faith” allegation toward
the allies. This attitude of the United
States jn the reply is based necessa
‘rily on the important fact that this
country did not consider the agree
ment’ of December 9, which was
signed by Frank Polk, then head of
the American peace commission In
'Paris, as an inelastic document. On
the contrary, it was the general un
derstanding it could be modfied if all
ilhe parties signatory to it were unan
iimouA in their agreement to any
change,
1 It was for the important reasons|
thus set forth that the United Smtes,i
after having signed the December B:
“groement, suggested that all further.’
'discuuslon of the document would bei
continued through the state depurt-’
ment. ‘
U. 8. NOT NOTIFIED. \
The President’s anger naturally,
however, was aroused when modifi-|
cations were made without reference
to the American state department|
and likewise without his pr:rsonul!
knowledge. It was very well under-‘
stood at the time of the signing of/
the December 9 note the treaty of
peace might not be ratified, in nnyt
given time, by the United States, The
American representatives, therefore,
by providing that the state depart
ment be consulted continued in full:
force the ' understanding that nle
whole Adriatic question was a cone
tinuing subject, and one in which the
United States had the deepest inter
est. :
The President, it is understood,
while not making a charge of bad
faith against the allies, nevertheless
cats their attention to the fact that
the stafe departmen should have been
consuled on every phase of the l~'lumoj
negotiations after the departure of
Mr. Polk from Europe and the conse
quent disintegration of the American
| peace commission,
’NO WORD FROM PREMIERS,
There was no disposition in official
circles today to credit the eabled ad
vice from Paris to the effect that Earl
Curzon on January 4 informed the
state department of the allies’ steps
toward a solution of the Fiume muds
dle. On the contrary it is an estab
lished fact that first information re
garding the actions of the allies came
from Hugh C. Wallace, the American
ambassador to France, who sent a
cable to the state department about
January 9. In this cable he set forth
what was transpiring in the Adriatie
situauon,
The receipt of information was too
late to permit American interference
in the ultimatum which the aliies
sent to Jugo-Slavia on January 14,
The United States did, however, send
a communieation to the allles, four
or five days after January 14, the
point of which was that this gov
ernment viewed with great surprise
‘the decision of the three premiers, in
dependent of consultation with Pres
fdent Wilson. This was followed by
another note wherein the American
position as outlined on December §
was reaffirmed and an unsatisfactory
reply brought forth the President's
protest of February 10,

: LONDON, Feb. 22.—Further prog
kress in the direction of the discovery
«of the elixir of youth was announced
‘today by two scientists, one an
FAme'ri-mn chemist and the other a
former professor of biology in an
American college,
+ Julian Huxley, grandson of Thomas
Huxley, and formerly professor of
biology in the University of Texas,
made the announcement that experi
ments in the laboratories of Oxford
University had shown that dévelop
)menta of tadpoles can be either ac
celerated or arrested by administer
ing a solution of the thyroid gland,
or by the removal of these glands.
Treatment of a species of Mexican
tadpole with the tyroid gland solu
tion, he adds, resulted in the devel
opment of an entirely new species.
Apropos of the Huxley announce
ment, other London scientists an
nounce that' experiments on human
beings have shown that man's vital
processes can be considerably in
creased by the application of a so
lution of a thirty thousandth part of
an ounce of the thyroid gland secre
tion, which they describe as the most
reliable elixir of youth discovered
thus far.
The American chemist, Kendall,
also made it known today that he had
discovered that a chemical solution
similar to the thyroid secretion, an
consisting chiefly of iodine, when ad
ministered to the rudimentary flat
worm maintained the latter in youth
ful condition for the period in which
a sister worm built up a family ex

PARIS, Feb, 22.-—Speaking of the
possibility of restoring youth and ex
tending the term of human life by
means of the discovery of Prof. Hux
ley at Oxford University, Dr. Tuf
fier, the celebrated Frenth surgeon,
said today to Universal Service:
“Application of thyroid secretions
or chemical solutions to human be
ings in the near future for the pur
pose of reviving youthful energies is
problematical. The fact that human
organs may be kept alive after being
separated from the body, as shown
by Dr. Carroll, proves the possibility
of maintaining life artifically, but
such organs are dependent on the en
’ernmu- force of the human body.
| “They have no independent life
and are not self-sustaining. Hence
it is impossible to say that the elixir
of youth has been found.”

Senate Commerce Committee Re
ports German Ships Should
Not Be Sold but Retained.
Found To Be Valuable Property
.
and They Should Be Repaired
and Set to Work, Says Report.
WASHINGTON, Feb, 22.—The
Senate Commerce Committee went en
record today as opposing the sale of
the thirty former German passenger
ships the shipping board attempted to
auction off for $28,000,000, and as
advocating their retention as an im
portant part of the American mer
chant marine.
“Regular routes between this coun
try, South America, Europe and the
Oriént should be established as
promptly as ponslble."g commitee
urged. “These ships n repaired
and reconditioned are highly suita
ble for this purpose.
“They were also considered the
best ‘of their kind in the world be
fore the war. They were taken from
an enemy. We have spent mll‘onl
of dollars on them and they shave
carried hundreds of thousands ¢f our
boys to and from the battlefidids of
Europe and were a great factor in
saving modern civilization from mil
itary autocracy. This fact probably
has much to do with creating an
almost wuniversal sentimenf among
our people against this saie”
The report continued: |,
AVERAGE AGE 16. !
“The financial phase of the situ
ation is abous this: The aggregate
tonnage of these ships fs about 374~
612 gross tons, while that of the
twenty bid on on January 20 lis
about 250,796 gross tons. Some -of
the thirty ships are over twenty years
old; some are about gix years old,
“Their average is about sixteen
years, Sealed bids for twenty-one
boats, including the ILeviathan, ag
gregated $28,231,940, A naval board
valued nineteen of these boats, in
cluding the Leviathan, immediately
after they were taken over under the
resolution of Congress. at $20,180,-
350. Twenty of these boats, includ
ing the Leviathan, were appraised
by experts selected by the shipping
board at $27,685,000.
“The shipping board estimates that
repairing and reconditioning the
twenty ships, for which about $28,-
000,000 was bid, will cost under the
best possible estimate $57,000,000, ma
at this rate the refitting of the thirty
ships would cost about $85,000,000,
so that on this basis the twenty
ships would cost a purchaser about
$85,000,000 and the thirty ships $103,-
000,000, I the government does not
gell the ships, it should proceed at
once to put them in condition for
use, .
SALE UNCERTAIN.
“Bverybody econcedes ' this,. The
longer the -hAp\ are tied up the
more rapidly they will deteriorate
and the greater will be the cost of
refitting, In any event it will take
from six to twelve months to repair
them,
“No one can tell whether the gov~
ernment will be able to sell the
ships when repaired, for the amount
of the bids submitted plus the cost
of repalring. Some think this can
be done. Others believe they ecan
be sold at a greater price. The bids
submitted may be lower than they
