YAP PACT UPHELD
BY VOTE IN SENATE
Amendments Are Defeated on
Party Lines.
SOLONS JEST ON DRY LAW
Prohibition Effort on Mandated
Islands Fails Amid Roars
of Laughter.
WASHINGTON'. D. C, Feb. 28. DI
vided virtually on party lines, the
senate refused to amend the Tap
treaty today In the first test of
strength on any question affecting
the international covenants negotiat
ef in the Washington conference. The
vote was 50 to 23.
Only two republicans, Borah of
Idaho and France of Maryland, sup
ported the proposal, and only four
democrats. Underwood, Alabama;
Fomerene. Ohio; Williams of Missis
sippi and Myers of Montana, voted
againet it. It had been offered by
Senator Pittman, democrat, JNevaaa,
and would have amplified the provi
- eion that existing treaty rights of the
United States shall apply to the man
dated islands of the Pacific
Later, by a vote of 52 to 11, the sen
ate also rejected a proposed amend-
mert by Senator France to prevent
manufacture or export of intoxicating
iiauors on the mandated islands.
Eight democrats Joined this time with
the lepublicans opposed to the amend
ment, while not a single other senator
r.f his own party cast his vote with
Mr. France.
Ratification Is Expected.
Senators differed over th.3 signifi
cance of the two rollcalls as they bear
on the general situation of the arms
conference treaties, but tte senate
leaders asserted the result had been
to strengthen their expectation that
all the covenants would oe ratified
by safe margins, even though there
might be considerable opposition cn
the democratic side.
Just before adjournment another
amendment was presented by Senator
Pittman, stipulating that under the
treaty the United States should be
sole Judge whether Japan is main
taining sufficient wireless facilities
on Yap island, or whether the Amer
ican right to install a wireless sta
tion there should be exercised. This
and several other amendments and
. reservations are expected to come to
a vote tomorrow, and under an agree-
ment reached yesterday, a rollcall on
ratification is to be taken not later
than 2 P. M. Thursday.
Reed Makes Attack.
During today's debate further at
tacks were made on the treaty by
f Senators France, Pittman, Borah and
Reed, democrat, Missouri. Mr. Reed
again charged that the republican
leaders were attempting to "force"
senate action before the country could
realize what the arms conference!
- agreements really embody. The all- j
day onslaught passed virtually with- i
out reply from the treaty s sup
porters. It was to the accompaniment of re
peated bursts of laughter, which the
presiding officer made no effort to
check, that the France prohibition
amendment was presented and re
jected. Senator France protested that
the senate was not giving serious
consideration to his proposal. Sena
tor Reed, also lecturing his colleagues
for .their mirth, caused new convul
sions of merriment on the floor and
in the galleries by pleading that the
provision be accepted "so that some
Japanese Volstead can exercise his
genius in the Pacific."
Lodge Backs Treaty.
Senator Lodge declared the amend
ment wholly unnecessary, quoting
Irom the treaty a provision that in
toxicants are not to be "supplied to
the natives" of the mandated islands.
To this Senator Reed replied that a
more complete prohibition was pref
erable, including foreigners as well
as natives, so that the world would
r.ot behold the spectacle of a "totally
sober population bossed by Japanese
cfficials loaded to the guards."
The Pittman amendment regarding
existing treaty rights also was de
clared by Senator Lodge to be en
tirely superfluous and it was indi
cated that other amendments and
reservations to be proposed tomorrow
would likewise be opposed by the re
publican leader.
Into account their previous knowl
edge of her, as well as the possibility
she might be actuated by a motive
of jealousy.
A short time before Taylor was
slain, according to the police restate
ment of Mrs. Rupp's story, two of th
six men returned to her home and
told her:
"He double-crossed us; wouldn'
pay for the booze we brought him.
We'll get the . We're going to
kill him."
The name of the director was not
spoken, however, it was said.
Woman Accuses Man.
Mrs. Rupp said she dismissed the
threat from her mind until the day
after the murder. Then, she said
while she and the two men were at
dinner, she suddenly cried out to one
of them:
"You are the man who killed Tay
lor."
"He turned perfectly white and
sagged in his chair," Mrs. Rupp was
quoted. "Then he said: "Good, God
Don't say that again! Don't ever
mention that again!'
"I never dfd," Mrs. Rupp was said

Results of Government Probe to Be
Announced Next AVeek.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Feb. 28.
Results of the government's investi
gation into the retail prices charged
for necessities in various parts of the
country will be made public next
week, Attorney-General Daugberty
said today.
Mr. Daugherty announced that he
expected to have schedules prepared
by the first part of the week show
ing the prices asked for shoes, cloth
ing, food and fuel in different parts

ures giving the manufacturing costs

The attorney-general has an
nounced his intention of prosecuting

retail merchants through illegal
agreements is uncovered by the de
partment, but has indicated that he
would rely mainly on the publicity
given the price information to en
able the public to demand the proper
levels.

Mrs. Rupp was said to have given
the police the name of an alleged
bootlegger from whom the six men
were reported to have obtained the
liquor th'ey were charged with hav

BONUS YET BAFFLES
E
CdiTT
Three Hours Spent Trying to
Settle Differences.
HARDING ISVISITED
Legion Officials Call on President,
Who Outlines Position on
Compensation Bill.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 28.
House ways and means committee re
publicans spent three hours today
trying to reconcile their differences
over the soldiers' bonus, but without
success. - After they had adjourned
until tomorrow. Chairman Fordney
announced that he had been "author
ized to say that the committee had
arrived at no conclusion."
"There is nothing to be given to
the newspapers today," he added.
It was understood there was
general discussion of the whole ques
tion of finances, acrimonious at times
and that at the finish the situation
was just where it was before the
special sub - committee tentatively
agreed upon a special tax programme,
which subsequently was disapproved
by President Harding.
Some Committeemen Hopeful.
Some committeemen were hopeful
that there would be some kind of con
clusion tomorrow. It was said that
the possibilities included a postpone
ment or the whole question tor
month in the belief that the delay
would serve to clear the atmosphere,
but several members were understood
to look upon such programme with
disfavor.
The discussion today was reported
to have revolved largely around the
proposition to write into the bill some
kind of financing provision tnai
would meet the president's views at
least half way. The sales tax sug
gested by the president and rejected
bv the special subcommittee last week
by an overwhelming vote, was not
pressed particularly, it was said, and
the impression went out that some
members had in mind a special tax
programme.
Sales Tax Is Favored.
Sales tax proponents were under
stood to be hopeful that this pro
gramme would be worked around to
the sales tax. but leaders of the agri
cultural bloc will oppose that. They
take the position that the bonus can
be financed out of proceeds from the
refunded British debt.
As the republican committeemen
were assembling to resume consid
eration of the bonus, Hanford Mac-
Nider, national commander of the
American Legion, and John Thomas
Taylor, vice-chairman of the legion s
legislative committee, discussed the
bonus situation with President Har
ding at the White House. They said
afterward that they were "perfectly
satisfied" with the results of the con
ference and expressed confidence that
there would be no delay in the enact
ment of the adjusted compensation
legislation. They added that the
president was "heart and soul" with
the legion and understood its position
fully. ,
Harding Favors Sales Tax. .-
At the White House it was said that
Presidnt Harding, in his talk with
the legion officials, had simply re
ferred to his recent letter to Chair
man Fordney of the house ways and
means committee, outlining his posi
tion on the bonus as favoring a sales
tax to raise the funds with which
to finance it, or else postponement of
such legislation.
The following statement was issued
at the White House on the conference:
The president made no commit
ment except that in his letter to
Chairman Fordney, which expressed
an attitude which remains unchanged.
He proposed no further statement
and has none to make."

at East Sixth and Halsey streets. The
pupils by this time had begun filing
out of the exits cf the school and
were directed by their teachers to the
vacant lot across we street.

Second Alarm Answered.
Enerines 7 and 18 and truck 3 an
swered the second alarm, which also
brought John Young, chief of the de
partment. Young sent two special
calls for seven different engines and
pumpers as soon as he arrived, mak
ing a total of 13 engines, two trucits
and about 200 firemen.
In spite or the ettorts or tne nre-
men and apparatus, the flames con
tinued to spread. At the height of the
fire. 32 streams of water were playing
on the flames from all sides of the
buildings. The fire dropped from the
second to the first floor in very little
time, and within 15 minutes after the
first alarm was sent the roofs began
to cave in, endangering the firemen
nd driving them from the interior
of the building.
Wind Carries Away Water.
The effectiveness of the streams of
water was greatly diminished by the
wind. Thrown from the street to the
top of the building, the water was
carried away in spray before the'
wind. Ladders were put up at various
places and firemen carried hose lines
up these, attacking the blaze at close
range and succeeding In stopping It
in the north part of -the building.
Dropping cornices, eaten away by
flames, knocked a ladder from under
Battalion Chief Holden and two fire
men and caused them to hang to i
window sill until another ladder was
rushed to the place and they were
rescued from their perilous position.
Fire was burning fiercely inside the
window, making their position ex
ceedingly uncomfortable.
Whole Interior Burned.
The fire was nof brought under
control until it had burned out the
interior of the building, consumed
the roof and left only the four much
damaged walls standing.
Frantic mothers from all directions
rushed to the school as soon as they
learned it was ablaze, fearing that
their children had been trapped in
side the burning building. Instead
they found them safely outside and
bearing mingling sentiments about
the burning of the school. Little girls
were crying because their books, rub
bers and coats had been left inside.
Little boys, like Skinny having "more
darned fun," whooped in glee and
screamed with excitement. One little
fellow yelled, "Hey, mister, don't
bring out the books; let 'em burn!"
Other Schools to Be Used.
C. A. Rice, acting superintendent
of schools, and Mr. Thomas announced
yesterday afternoon that plans had
been made for the resumption of
studies by all Holladay pupils in
other schools Thursday morning. All
pupils have -been ordered to report
at the schoolhouse. East Sixth and
Halsey streets, this morning at 11
o'clock, when teachers will instruct
them where to report for classes the
following morning.
Holladay teachers have been re
quested by Acting Superintendent
Rise to assemble their classes Thurs
day morning and report with them
to the schools designated as follows:
Fernwood school. East Thirty-third
and Hancock streets, Mrs. Bessie R.
Horstman, Miss Josephine Roche and
Miss Myrtle Reed; new Buekman
school, East Eighteenth and Oak,
Miss Louise Kelly, Miss Jessie Mc
Gregor, Miss Edith Olson, Miss Mary
Ulen, Mrs. Gertrude Sharp and Miss
Olive Chenault; old Buekman school.
East Twelfth and Burnside, Miss
Louise Strout and Miss Florence
Cady; Irvington school, East Four
teenth and Thompson, Miss Lilah
Rogers and Mrs. Ada Beard. Miss
Eugenia Morse will meet her class
in the manual training room of the
Holladay school and Miss Cordelia
Murphy will meet her pupils in the
ungraded room of Holladay.
Permanent School Planned.
The matter of arranging for a per
manent school home for the Holladay
pupils will be taken up at the regu
lar meeting of the school board at
the courthouse tonight. "The senti
ment of the school directors seems to
be in favor of the erection of a per
manent building," said Director Eis
man yesterday. "If this plan does
not seem advisable, we shall probably
arrange for portable buildings to care
for the Holladay pupils.
School officials were lavish in praise
of the level-headed and efficient ac
tion of both teachers and pupils in
the fire emergency. (
Pupils March Out Rapidly.
All the children were out of the
building in safety 45 seconds afte
the alarm for the firedrill was given,
which i3 just about as speedily as a
drill of that nature can be carried
out," said Acting Superintendent
Rice. "Practically all the dooks on
the first floor were saved, and the
school records and nearly all the
children's wraps and personal belongings."
The Holladay school building was
one of the oldest in use in the city.
the original building, which now
forms the north wing was built in
1869. Additions have been built at
various times, until the original
structure is now only a minor wing.-
:' BackWrd Students Valiant.
Miss Murphte class of . ungraded
Doys. made upioi intornsn'iCT
backward students, pr6vet themselves
the most valiant of all the pupils.
They led smaller , classes to places of
safety and then , helped Dring . mil
books and clothing. Students from the
North Pacific Dental college and from
Christian Brothers' Business college
aided the firemen in salvaging stuff
left inside and at first aided in man
ning the hose lines.
Practically all clothing ana dooks
left on the first floor were recovered
before the flames got that far, and
those on the second floor were lost.
After the children had been released
from the fire drill formations they
ran around the building trying to
find their belongings. Some were
taken to neighboring houses and cared
for until their mothers arrived.
Other Officials at Scene.
School Directors Thomas and Eis-
mann and School Clerk Thomas, Chief
of Police Jenkins, Mayor Baker, Com
missioner C. A. Bigelow and Harry
Coffin, commissioner of public safety,
all arrived while the fire was in its
early stages and did what they could
to help. Mayor Baker attempted to
help on a line of hose, but it sprung
leak just at the spot and just at
the time he picked It up, and the
mayor was soaked to the skin.
The city officials had an opportu
nity to notice the leaky hose which
the fire department has been unable
to replace. Few of the many lines
directed to the schoolhouse did not
leak, and this fact caused, much com
ment. Chief Young said there was no
doubt that some of the larger leaks
diminished the pressure of the water
at the nozzles.
Spectators Are Attracted.
A crowd of spectators formed al
most a solid line on all four streets
around the building and police had to
be rushed to the scene to keep them
back, so the firemen could have free
play.
No estimates could be had from the
school board yesterday on the value
of the building and the amount of
damage. George S. Edmonstone,
superintendent of properties, was
sent home at noon suffering from
illness and other school officials were
reluctant to say at how much the
building was valued. Guesses varied
from $65,000 to $100,000, and the loss
was generally considered total, as
the Holladay school was one of the
oldest in the city, of frame structure,
and practically obsolete in compari
son with modern school archiecture.
No statement was forthcoming as to
whether it would be rebuilt or torn
down to make room for a new building.
Blanket Policy Ordered.
On February 18 the Insurance Ex
change of Portland was directed by
the school board to. proceed with
plans to draw up a blanket policy for
$6,000,000 in addition to $1,600,000 of
insurance previously carried on the

Camden, Nevr Jersey
$8,000,000 worth of school property In
School District No. 1.
Pending- the adjustment of rates
and amounts of Insurance on the dif
ferent school buildings, a blanket
binder for 10 days was Issued and
this was to expire at noon yesterday.
When the fire broke out at 9:35 A. M.,
insurance agrents and officers of the
Insurance Exchange of Portland and
members of the . school board were
negotiating- a renewal of the 10-day
binder until the complete deal could
be drawn up and executed.
Examination of the statistics fur
nished the insurance exchange on
separate valuations showed that the
Holladay school building value was
placed at $6644 value and the con
tents valued at $12,649. This total
was fixed according to a system of
depreciation used by the school board.
Officials of the insurance exchange
said that the amount of recovery
possible by the school board could not
exceed the total of $19,193, and .one
said that only 90 per cent of this sum
could be recovered inasmuch as the
new system of school insurance was
for 90 per cent of the valuation.
No definite statement about the
amount of insurance to be recovered
for the loss was given out yesterday
and it is possible that a conference
