Ths negative vote was cast by Representative Mal bjr. of New Tork. A virtually Identical resolution by Fonator Culberson, of Texas. Is pending In ths Senate. Farorahle action of both houses will bs necessary to make either resolution effective. Both the Eulser and Culberson resolutions di rect the President to give Russia ths year's notice, necessary for ths abroga tion of ths treaty that has been In fore for nearly SO years. Ir.rt.a Xe Wulri, An attempt led by Representative Olmstesd. of Pennsylvania, to modify ths Bulser resolution, so as to arold making ths direct charge that Russia, had violated ths treaty In refusing to recognise ths passports of American Jews, was defeated. 114 to 115. Prominent Republicans declared that ths House should not go on record as charging a violation of the treaty, but should adopt langaage stating that Ruasla had so construed the treaty that the 1'Dlted States could no longer be a party to It. The sentiments announced hare to day." Republican Leader Mann said, "are such that If they were uttered In another parliamentary body tnlrtht bring such resentment as would pro voke war." Man Warms Heaae. Mann added that if the United States asserted that a demonstration against races was a violation of a treaty, .It might weaken Its own attitude toward the exclusion of Orientals. The debate In the House bristled with charges that Ruasla'a attitude was an ofTense sgalnst the United States and that the exclusion of American Jews. ho bore properly certified passports, wss an affront to this Government. Representative McCall. of Massachu setts, said the matter ought not to be acted upon by the House until It had been submitted to arbitration between the two countries. Uitmili Trees Art las. Representsttvs Longworth. of Ohio. Insisted that the "time for arbitration has gone and that the time for action has come." Mann endeavored to have the joint resolution amended so as to assert the right of the United States to discrim inate against foreigners on account of race. All amendments to the resolu tion were overwhelmingly beaten. The resolution adopted by the House tonight declares that "The Government of the United States will not be a party to any treaty which discriminates, or which by one of the parties thereto Is so construed as to discriminate, be tween American cltixena on the ground of race or religion." and It adds: "The government of Russia has vio lated the treaty between the United States and Russia, concluded at St. Petersburg December IS. 1133. refusing to honor American passports duly Is sued to American citizens, on account of race and religion: that In the Judgment of the Congress the said treaty, for the reasons aforesaid, ought to be termi nated at the earliest possible time."

He declared that for nearly half a century Russia had persistently refused to live up to the treaty or to recognise passports of American citizens without discrimina tion on account of the race or religious prejudices. Ue declared It was a ques tion that affected the rights of all American citizens and that Russia not only refuses to recognise American passports held by Jews, but 4hose by Baptist missionaries. Cstholtc priests and Presbyterian divines. t The United States must adhere ten aciously to the fundamental principle that the rights of cttixens at home or abroad shall not be Impaired on ac count of race or religion.

WILDE DEFENSE TO LOOK AT PAPERS Prosecution Ordered to . Show Evidence. HOT CONTEST FOUGHT OUT Lawyers Clash Over Hint That Blackmail Figures in Case. HOT PROTEST OVERRULED Attorney Malarkey for Accused Pro moter Declares Client Is Entitled to Privilege Under Code, but Other Side Says It's Illegal. Over the protests of Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald and A. E. Clark, special prosecutor, who declared that the court was exceeding Its authority. Presiding Judge Gatens yesterday aft ernoon made orders forcing the state to give the defense In the Louis J. Wilde case copies of the documentary evidence to be used at the trial. The order also directs the prosecution to furnish a bill of particulars setting forth in detail the descriptions of the notes, stocks, bonds, bills of exchange and other valuable securities which it is alleged Wilde assisted W. Cooper Morris, cashier of the defunct Oregon Savings & Trust Company, In embez zling. Before Issuance of these orders Dep uty District Attorney Fitzgerald said in open court that the state would disclose to the defense all the evidence which it is intended to use In the pros ecution If the defense would disclose all the evidence to be used In Wilde's behalf. Attorney Dan J. Malarkey, appearing for Wilde, refused to accept the proposal, contending that the po sition of the state and the defendant are diametrically opposite, that Mr. Wilde was entitled to know to the minutest detail to what he was expect ed to answer and that it is the duty of the state to prove the guilt of the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt. I'nfalr, Says Fitzgerald. Mr. Fitzgerald declared that the at torneys for the defense were seeking to take an unfair advantage. They want ed the court to force the state to make a clean breast of its evidence, he said, and they would then have the defend ant take advantage of his constitution al privilege and refuse to take the witness stand. Mr. Malarkey urged in replying that the indictment mere ly sets forth that Wilde assisted in the embezzlement of notes, stocks, bonds, bills of exchange, certificates of de posit and other valuable securities, a more particular description of which was to the grand Jury unknown to the extent of $90,000. He asked the Judge how he and his associates, Attorneys Bovverman and Sumner, could be ex pected to prepare a defense to an in-, dictment couched In such general terms. Order's Le'gallty Questioned. "Only In states where there is a statutory provision to that "effect is a defendant in a criminal case apprised of the exact nature of the evidence to be used against him," said Mr. Fitz gerald. "In states which have not such statutory provision the Supreme Courts have invariably ruled that a person accused of a. crime is not en titled to such privilege. Our own Su preme Court Has not passed on the question, but it has held that the crim inal code of the state' is complete in itself, and we have no such statute." Mr. Fitzgerald cited decisions of the Supreme Courts of California, Missou ri, Utah and several other states in support of his contentions. Attorney Malarkey referred to sec tion 633 of the code, which sets forth that bills of particulars must be fur nished in civil cases, and then to sec tion 1533, which provides that the same rules of evidence which apply in civil cases shall govern In criminal cases. Mr. Clark contended that section 1533 is Intended to refer only to the meth ods of introducing or barring evidence at the actual trial of cases. ! The situation was enlivened when Attorney Malarkey, In answer to a question, declared that the only reason Wilde was indicted several years after the commission of the alleged crime was because he refused to be a prey of blackmail. Mr Clark, who has acted as attorney for Receiver Devlin all through the Oregon Savings & Trust Bank trouble, took offense. Clark's Ire Arouned. "Do you mean to include me in that?" he asked. "I did not mention your name, sir," answered Mr. Malarkey. ""Now come out in the open. Tou say that tlie men prosecuting Wilde are doing so because he failed to come through with money. Do you mean to intimate that I was a party to any . such scheme?" asked Mr. Clark. The argument continued brisk for a few moments, andAttorney Malarkey had the last word.. As he walked away he said: "If the shoe fits, you can put it on." Mr. Clark laughed. The application for a bill of partic ulars was based on an affivadit signed by Wilde, in which he set forth the indefinite nature of the indictment and Concluded on Page 2-1
