GiTe Assuring Addresses Regarding Territorial Adjustment. TIOME. Dec. 30. The senate today heard addresses by botli Premier Nittl and Foreign Minister Scialoia. who grave assurances that nothing had been compromised concerning the Adriatic settlement. Both statesmen declared they -would go to London and Paris hopeful of a satisfactory solu tion of the question of Fiume. Both threat Britain and France, they said, had agreed to some changes in Italy's favor In modification of the last pro posals of President Wilson. ' Neither stated what President Wil son's proposals were, or what the possible modifications might be.' Signor Soialola said the treaty of St. Germain did not become effective unless ratified by at least three of the allies. So far only Italy and Austria had ratified. But, he added, even if the Versailles treaty (with Germany) had been ratified by three of the allies it was not yet effective, because ratifications had not been formally deposited. However, in both cases several clauses of the treaties al ready were being executed, the allies trusting in the good faith of the con tracting parties. iiM-ri. nn Proposal Favored. The memorandum handed to him in London by Premier Clemenceau of France, Mr. Lloyd George, prime min ister of Great Britain, and Mr. Davis, American minister. Senator Scialoia continued, does not have the value at tributed to It by newspapers. It con tained explanations of Secretary l.an slng'b statements regarding former Minister Tlttont's proposal, together with a text of the proposal. The memorandum went Into both sides of the question and showed a certain leaning toward the American pro posal, he added. "This would be grave," Slgnor Sci aloia continued, "If verbally they had declared to me that the memorandum did not contain any character of pressure to be exercised over Italy, but it must be considered simply as a means of reopening the discussion and not a an attempt to close it. Earl Curzon of Kedleston, British foreign secretary, already had noti fied me of the contents of the mem orandum. 1 told him I would not ac cept it. "Karl Curzon replied that it was not a question of accepting It or not, be cause It was aimed exclusively to give us the possibility again to discuss the question. Outlook Held Favorable. "M. I'lemenceau and Mr. Lloyd George ld me that if France. Eng land ami Italy agreed, even going be yond the terms of President Wilson, they believed they could present the agreement to President Wilson and induce him to accept it In the interest of European peace." The reproach made against Italy, Slgnor Scialoia said, was that she asked for Dalmatia and also Flume, although Flume had been awarded to Croatia under the terms of the pact of London, which would make the pact contradictory. "In reality." he said, "there was no contradiction, as Italy has a treaty with France and Great Britain which unfortunately is not recognised by the United States, granting her DiUrnatia. Italy asked for the fulfilment of that treaty, but did not ask for Flume. It was Fiume which asked to be an nexed to Italy." Applause greeted these words. "According to these principles of nationality and self-determination," he proceeded, "we could not help sup porting the claims of Fiume. which had the right to decide its own fate. We may renounce a part of what was promised us, but this must be done spontaneously. So far no' reunucia tion has been made. There have been several compromises suggested, but no renunciation. "Concerning a direct agreement with the Jugo-Slavs, we are ready to try It, but on condition that the Jugo-Slav government be free and guaranteed the minimum of Us claims by some power. I cannot tell what our position in going to Paris is. That would make negotiations Impos sible. But I can proclaim that our alms are to guarantee the Italianity of Flume, protect Italian Dalmatia , and insure the safety of the Adriatic." lite object of Italy, said the foreign minister, was twofold, the protection of the Italian nationalitv of Flume and Dalmatia, and military defense of tne Adriatic. He said that Secretary of State Lansing proposed neutraliza tion of the Dalmatian islands and of the surrounding sea as far as Ra gusa. but declared this would leave a part of the Italian coast exposed 10 me same aiiacK as In the late war Security First Concern. this Is Intolerable." exclaimed signor sciaioia. we do not want any protection which allows us to attack an opposite coast, of which "iiih lucre is no tnougnt; Dut we wish to be sure that we cannot be attacked. Premier Nttti began his speech by declaring that the statements of .slgnor Scialoia represented the Ideas of the entire cabinet. "However much I regret what M. Clemenceau said," Slgnor Nittl de clared, "there were in his words some historical inexactitudes. Italy did not pledge herself to give Flume to Cro atia, which was not a contracting party. It is true that Fiume was not included in the pact of London, but it is also true that If the act of London was executed Dalmatia would Immediately be given to Italy. The pact of London also said that we would never fight alone against Aus tria. Despite that fact, we did fight alone against Austria. We must re call to the allies our friendly attitude when we were not asking for Vny territory but risking our entire na tion's existence." Signor Nittl urged the senate al ways to use friendly language toward Italy's allies and to make known throughout the country the advisa bility of speaking about allies in tones of sympathy and cordiality, be cause there still was a long road on which to walk together. He also urged them to demonstrate the loyalty of Italy's conduct. "We desire that the situation in the Adriatic." said the premier, "cease 1o be a situation of our actual occu pation of what we want, and for It to become a situation of the right of occupying only what Is acknowledged by the powers to be our right." HAPGOOD MAY TALK SOON (Continued Prom First Pafiu between President Wilson and Colonel House. On occasions of reported breaks there are always a few doubt ing TSoiOises, tesit today Um general comment was, "Oh, that Is not new." The fact that Colonel House, so long associated with Mr. Wilson's in ternational policies and ao intimately connected with the peace conference, found no business of sufficient impor tance to bring him here for a personal conference with the president has been proof enough that differences existed. The matters which they would necessarily discuss are not questions on which exchanges could easily be made either by mall or tele graph, and yet Colonel House has not recently been In Washington. He has sought seclusion. - Reports Net Surprllug. Reports that Colonel House will not support McAdoo or Palmer for presi dent also are not surprising, because ; this might he true without necessarily affecting the relations between the eminent Texan and the president. Neither McAdoo nor Palmer, to use a rural expression, has ever been permitted to "get by" with Colonel House. Of all the cabinet, only Postmaster-General Burleson has ever en joyed his close personal acquaintance or society. Most other members of Mr, Wil son's official family have always ap peared about as curious regarding Colonel House's "long drag" with the president as has the average out sider. Mr. Wilson's intimates have shown a reluctance to discuss the Texas colonel, being obviously sensi tive of the super-power wielded over the White House by this mysterious man. Colonel House never conferred with cabinet members when visiting Wash ington. He always saw the president alone. CHARGE FALSE. SAY'S HAPGOOD Report of Relations With Soviet Government Denounced. NEW YORK. Dec. SO. Norman Hap good issued a statement here tonight in explanation of his resignation as minister to Denmark, in which he categorically denied having expressed sympathy for or havng had relations with the soviet government of Russia. He declared his viev.-s have not changed regarding the maintenance of the blockade and that he still believes bolshevism I? strengthened by It, not only in Russia, but else where, "In proportion as Europe suf fers from the Inability to get raw materials and food from Russia and to send her manufactured articles in return." Charges that Mr. Hapgood had been in friendly relations with Lenine and Trotzky were originally made in Harvey's Weekly and the former min ister said that one of his reasons for asking to be released from the diplo matic service "was the necessity of answering Colonel George Harvey's falsehoods." His attack was "foolish and vindictive," he asserted. Mr. Hapgood said he had been op posed to communism all his life and denounced the charge that he was a plenipotentiary of Lenine and Trotzky as a "grotesque falsehood." He characterized an accusation that he had used the American legation at Copenhagen as a "trading post" for the soviet government as "despic able." Mr. Hapgood explained that Alex ander Berkenhelm, representing 1(.- 000,000 co-operatives of Russia, came to America with a letter from Prince Kropotkin and they met. He said he agreed with the Russian that the best way to overcome bolshevlsm was to restore trade and he gave Berken helm letters to government officials here, urging that he be permitted to ship out piled up stores of flax and hemp, valued at J300, 000,000. await ing export in possession of the co operatives, and to import machinery, shoes and medicine. Out of this. Mr. Hapgood said, grew the false charge that he had made "repeated over tures" in Wall street to finance the bolshevlki, Berkenhelm being so antl bolshevik.. he stated, as to have been arrested five times. DAMAGES GIVEN VICTIMS 53 Claims Against Brooklyn Tran sit Company Allowed. NEW YORK, Dec. 30. Fifty-three damage claims against the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company, aggregating $85,737. were allowed by Philip J. Mc Cook. as special master. In a report filed today with Federal Judge Mayer.

DOCTOR IN MURDER NET (Continued From First Pf.i should be in danger was not stated by Mrs. Gardner. Miss Rose Heverin, who works In the same office with Katie May Grif fith, sister of the dead girl, told Louisville police that she heard Miss Griffith call her sister Elixabeth at Schott's office shortly after 2 o'clock the afternoon of the killing, and that Schott answered the telephone. Previously Miss Griffith had been the only witness who heretofore has charged that Schott was in his office before the hour of 8:10 o'clock, the time ho admitted first having been there after the girl was killed. It alfio had been established previously that Elizabeth Griffith was alive at 2:15 o'clock, as a patron of the doctor had called at his office at that time and talked to her. Scbott Owns Gardner Home. Schott owns nine pieces of real es tate In Louisville, among which is the house in which Mr. and Mrs. Will iam Gardner, parents of Laurene Gardner, live The fact that a preliminary test of the pistol was made became known tonight. Detectives at first denied that the weapon, had been fired since the murder, but later admitted this to be true. It was learned that the test showed that when the pistol was fired at distances 1 2 to IS Inches away from white cheesecloth It left only a slight discoloration, hardly to be classed as a powder burn. This fact, it was said, strengthens Schott's assertion that if the girl, ending her own life, had pressed the muzzle of the pistol close against her body there would have been no powder burns. The powder was said to be of a new kind. Schott Is a native of .Bavaria. Ger many, and had five brothers in the German army during the war. He came to this country when he u- a IK venrn nf aee.

Japanese troops now being sent into Siberia are believed at the state department to be largely replacement units. It was said officially that no new agree ment relating to increasing the size of the Japanese army in Siberia had been reached, negotiations on this question still being In progress. Some of the new forces now going In from Japan, officials said, probably will be used to reinforce some out posts which are threatened by su perior bolshevik forces. It was de clared, however, that Japan was not undertaking any aggressive move ment. The Czeeho-Slovak forces, to the aid of which the joint allied military expedition was dispatched, soon will be ready to leave for home via Vladi vostok. They will be brought across the Pacific In American transports, but whether they will cross the con tinent through the TTnlted States or Canada remains to be determined. American Force to Stay. Replying to suggestions that with the return of the Czechs it would be possible to withdraw the American forces from Siberia, officials said the American railway mission still would remain to direct the operation of the Trans-Siberian railroad and that military guard for the road would be necessary for the present at least. e The American force numbers about 9000 men made up of volunteers re cruited since the armistice to replace the selective service men first sent into Siberia.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 0. All Riza Pasha, Turkish grand vlxler, re ceiving the correspondent of the As sociated Press today at the palace at the sublime porte, expressed the be lief that reorganization of Russia into small states would furnish one solution of the Turko-Russian prob lem. An alternative of this, he said, would be evidence of "political char ity" on the part of the soviet Rus sian government. The grand vizier said he did not anticipate any trouble in Turkey this winter. Parliament Is expected to open within a few weeks. Mandate Tonic Avoided. The grand vizier avoided discus sion of Amer..-an mandates, excus ing himself on the ground of his pre carious position both with regard to the nationalists and also allied sub jects here who are said to resent the idea of an American mandate for Turkey. LONDON, Dec. 30. Fierce fighting in the Narva region in which the Esthonlans forced the bolshevlki to retire over the Ntrrova is reported in a soviet official statement today. Bolshevik forces have occupied Bakhmut. while beyond Novo Niko laevsk they are pursuing Admiral Kolchak's troops and have occupied Alexandrovsky. the statement claims TREATY WILL BE SIGNED (Continued From First Pace.) ago that the Invitation be extended to him, but the question was not de termined at that time. Some admin istration officials believe he would acquiesce in the request from the al lied powers, but the United States will have no part In the meeting of the council by reason of the fact that the treaty has not been ratified bj. the senate. The treaty provides that the first meeting of the assembly of the league shall be called by the presi dent, but the assembly is not expect ed to meet in the Immediate future. The council, however, must assemble within a fortnight after ratification Is completed at Paris, as the carry- i ing out of some provisions of the treaty is Intrusted to it.

MEXICAN OIL BILL FAILS PASSAGE OF MFASl KE CALLED IMPROBABLE BY EXPERTS. Carranza Solons Consider Law for Year Without Results; Villa Reported Planning Raids. MEXICO CITY, Dec. 30. Passage of the all-important petroleum bill is Improbable, according to parliament ary experts, who point out that only two days remain for regular sessions of the Mexican congress, which ad journs on December 31. Congress has been In virtually continuous session since September 1, 1918. The only legislation of a notable character has been that of re-forming article III of the constitution, which involves formation of an or ganic labor law. The proposed oil legislation was in troduced in congress on November 22, 1918. The measure would nation alize oil lands, and has aroused bitter opposition on the part of foreign in terests. Although debated in the chamber of deputies during the extraordinary session last spring, no action was taken, but the delay caused the sen ate to take up the measure at the present ordinary session and pass it.
