PACT, SENATE HEARS
H. P. Davison Says He Got
Copy of T. W. Lamont.
WRONGFUL USE IS DENIED
Banker Tells Senators That He Ob
tained Treaty Merely to Clear
Tp Status of Ilcd Cross.
WASHINGTON', June 11. How thfc
peace treaty reached private hnads in
New Tork and thus stirred up a sensa
tion in the senate was established today
at a two-hour hearing before the for
eign relations committee.
Senator Lodge revealed that the copy
he caw was shown him- by Elihu Root,
a former secretary of etate. Mr. Root
told the committee he got it from Henry
P. Davidson, a member of the Morgan
bonking house and head of the Red
Cross, and Mr. Davison in turn testified
it was given him in Paris by Thomas
W. Lamont, another Morgan partner
attached to the American peace mission.
J. P. Morgan and Frank A. Vander
llp, retiring president of the National
City bank, also before the committee,
said they had never eeen a copy.
Davison Gives Reasons.
With, that the committee adjourned
without settnig a date to-continue the
shearing and with members on both
sides of the treaty controversy saying
privately that the investigation appar
ently was over.
Mr. Davidson said he secured the
eopy to clear up the status of the Red
Cross under the league of nations, and
never had used it in a financial way.
Tie had shown It to no one except Mr.
Koot, he continued, and had sent it to
him because he knew the former secre
tary was being consulted by the Amer
ican mission.
Mr. Root gave it as his opinion that
there was nothing improper in the way
the treaty reached him an-i that he was
free to use it as he chose. There could
be nothing secret about it, he told the
committee, because the German gov
ernment had made it public
Under questioning Mr. Root, who ap
peared at the inquiry voluntarily, went
on to say that while the senate was
within its rights in asking for a copy
afier the treaty became public in Ger
many, President Wilson was within his
right in withholding it if he chose.
Mr. Root thought, however, that it
would hav facilitated a solution had
Mr. Wilson consulted the senate more
freely.
More Copies Are Reported.
All the witnesses said they had heard
rumors of other copies in New Tork,
but did not know whether they existed.
Like statements were made in tele
grams to the committee by Jacob
Kchiff of Kuhn, Loeb & Co, and Paul
Warburg, formerly a partner in the
aame firm.
Tonight the inquiry seemed to have
reached a standstill because no one had
any further witnesses to suggest.
Senator Lodge and Senator Borah, re
publican, of Idaho, who made the reve
lations which started the investigation,
caid they considered all their state
ments in the senate had been proved
and Senator Hitchcock, democrat, of
Nebraska, author of the investigation
resolution, declared the inquiry ap
parently had lapsed without showing
any dangerous leak in diplomatic
channels.
Chairman Lodge, at the opening of
the hearing, read a telegram from
Jacob Schiff, saying he knew "absolu
tely nothing directly or indirectly" re
garding the treaty and then called Mr.
Root to the witness chair.
night to Treaty Anxrtted.
"I have a copy of that so-called
treaty," said Mr. Root. "I have had
it for several weeks. It was sent to
mo by H. P. Davison, chairman of the
International Red Cross league. I stand
upon my right to have it. I assert tht
entire propriety of his giving it to me.
He had it because of his legitimate in
terests in the Red Cross, involved in
the treaty.
Mr. Root said he understood Mr.
Davison had the copy in Paris in con
nection with Red Cross affairs and
brought it away with him.
Mr. Root remarked that the German
government had made the treaty public
in detail, adding:
"It thereupon became publio prop
erty." "Then I gather." Senator Knox In
terjected, "that you do not consider
yourself in possession of stolen goods,
obtained by bribery, as has been
charged on the senate floor?"
"I feel a sense of strong resentment
to repel such a suggestion from any
source," Mr. Root replied, with some
chow of feeling. "Nothing could be
more baseless than such a suggestion."
There was nothing material in the
eopy he had not seen in the papers.
Mr. Root added.
Vanderllp Denies Seeing Copy,
Senator I.oldge said Senator Hitch
cock had charged in the senate that
the copy he (Mr. Lodge) had seen was
obtained by "bribery and corruption."
"As a matter of fact," said Senator
Lodge, "the copy I saw was the one
shown me by Mr. Root."
Frank A. Vanderllp was asked "If he
had received a copy of the treaty.
"No, sir," said Mr. Vanderlip, em
phatically. The committee examined him on Eu
ropean conditions generally.
Mr. Vanderlip, who recently visited
Europe, said there was "most desperate
need of assistance there, not only from
the United States but from other coun
tries. "Do you think we ought to guarantee
the political and territorial integrity
of all Europe?" asked Senator Knox.
"I do not," Mr. Vanderlip replied em
phatically. Mr. Vanderlip advocated private

a national characteristic is now
the purpose of the government's
war savings stamp organization.
"How to make permanent
among our people the habits of

Calling Troops.
MEDIATION EFFORTS FAIL
Railway Brotherhood Chiefs Report
Deadlock In Work Deliveries
Are to Be Resumed.
WINNIPEG, June 11. Mayor Charles
F. Gray made a formal announcement
tonight that any further street rioting
of a serious nature will be the signal
for him to call upon the militia. He
intimated the question of Invoking
military aid was discussed during yes
terday's disturbances at a conference
with General H. D. B. Ketchen, com
mander of the Manitoba military dis
trict, and Colonel J. S. Starns, com
manding the Royal Northwest Mounted
police forces stationed here.
It was stated at the city hall that
the street fighting resulted in a large
increase in the number of applicants
for special constable duty.
Mayor Gray declared the city would
accept another thousand men, in fact,
would "take every eligible man apply
ing for police duty."
No New Trouble Expected.
The day passed without demonstra
tion of any kind on the part of the
striker sand their sympathizers. There
was no disposition to heckle the re
turned soldire constables, and police
officials expressed the opinion no fur
ther trouble would be experienced.
Energetic steps are being taken by
civil authorities to establish house-to-house
delivery of bread, milk and ice.
Managers of companies supplying these
necessities have promised a partial de
livery system by Friday morning.

peal by Manager A. W. McLimont of

meeting to consider the notice the men
had voted unanimously to remain on

metal trades employes continued to

that a deadlock exists on the ques
tion of recognizing the metal trades

"Conciliation has failed. said II. E.
Barker, chairman of the mediation
board, "and there is nothing further
that we can do that I know of, but
we are still in session."
Dismissal of the regular police force
was followed last night by the most
serious disturbances of the general
strike wnen bergeant Frederick
Coppins was probably fatally injured
by strikers. A mob attacked a group
of veterans who have been sworn in
as constables and a score of the special
constables and as many of the strike
sympathizers received cuts and bruises
in a melee near the city hall. Sereeant
Coppins was decorated with the Vic
toria Cross for valor in the war in

E UP ONE CENT
MOTORISTS MUST NOW PAY 2 3 S

Supply and Demand Only Reason for
Measure, According to Oil
Official.
Gasoline prices have gone up one
cent per gallon. When Mr. Motorist
drives to his favorite filling station
and tells the attendant to "give 'er
ten," his bill will be 234 cents per
gallon instead of the familiar 22Vi.
The new price, like to old, includes
the state tax of 1 cent per pall on.
Neither the tax nor other state law
has anything to do with the increase.
"Just the old law of supply and de
mand," explained J. K. Balsley, dis
trict manager here for the Standard
Oil company. "More motor care, in
creased demand, less gasoline, sums it
up.
"Gasoline supplies all along the Pa
cific coast are very low. The market
is strong and costs of production high.
nence, tne increase.
"The increase of one cent per gal
lon is effective for the whole coast.
The Oregon state law has nothing to
do witn it."
Distillate prices also have gone up
one cent per gallon, but kerosene re
mains the same.
