Control of Treaty Proced

LODGE MOTION IS ADOPTED
Senate Postpones Consider
ation of Amendments.
ACTION HELD SIGNIFICANT
Vote Closely Following Party Lines
Taken to Indicate Senate Atti
tude Toward Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. Republic
ans took actual control of peace
treaty procedure in the senate today
by a three-vote margin.
The first test in the fight now be
ing waged about the pact with its
league of nations covenant came on
a motion by Chairman. Lodge of the
foreign relations committee to post
pone for one week consideration of
some 40-odd amendments which
would relieve the United States from
(service on commissions created under
the treaty.
The formal motion, with a fixed
date, was put before the senate after
the vice-president had sustained a
point of order by Senator Hitchcock,
leader of the administration forces,
for ratification against a motion. for
indefinite consideration, and it was
adopted, 43 to 40.
Motion Held Significant.
The motion, not of itself important,
was accepted tonight by opponents of
the league as the best possible index
of the feeling and attitude of the sen
ate toward the treaty and the cove
cant. Democratic leaders declared it
meant nothing.
Except in three instances, the vote
on which the ayes and nays were de
manded by Senator Hitchcock, fol
lowed party lines. Senator Jones of
Washington and Senator McCumber
of North Dakota, both Republicans,
voted against the motion, and Sena
tor Reed, Democrat, of Missouri voted
lor it.
Ten senators were paired, and three
Gore, Oklahoma; King, Utah, and
Shields, Tennessee, absent and not
voting, were not paired.
Chamber Almoat Deserted.
The little flurry over the lodge mo
tion was the only excitement during
the two hours' consideration of the
treaty, which was not taken up until
3 o'clock because of a parliamentary
wrangle. Senator Lodge called it up
at 2 o'clock, the regulation hour, but
the fight over a senate rule still was
running wild when Senator Hitch
cock cut it short by a demand for
reading of the treaty.
There was no speech-making and
late in the day the crowds in the gal
leries, listening to the monotonous
reading, looked down and saw only
two senators Hitchcock and Brande
gee, Republican of Connecticut in
the chamber. Others flitted back and
forth, but few sat through the read
ing. Johnson Still Belligerent.
Senator Johnson returned today
from his speech-making tour in the
wept, prepared, he said, to go later to
Vpshington, Oregon and California
and keep up the attack on the league
covenant. Senator Johnson said he
had not had time to look over the
situation, though he hoped to get up
his amendment "within a week." If a
vote on the treaty was delayed 60
days, he eaid, "not a shred of it would
' be left."
Although Senator Lodge's motion
was to - defer consideration of the
amendments offered by Senator Fall,
republican, New Mexico, until "next
Tuesday," he later explained that he
had picked that date at random, and
it was changed to Friday of this
week. It was said tonight that the
amendment by Senator Johnson, re
publican, California, designed to
equalize the voting powers in the
league of the United States and Great
Britain, would not be taken up until
the senate had finally disposed of the
Fall amendments.
FRIENDS OF TREATY ACTIVE
Substitute for Johnson Amendment
to Be Sprung Soon.
OREGON'IAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Sept. 23. With a close
vote apparent on the Johnson amend
ment to the league of nations cove
nant, which would give the United
States the same number of votes in
the league assembly as Great Britain,
friends of the league were busy to
day framing a substitute which is to
be sprung as means of rescuing the
treaty from danger of resubmission.
This substitute amendment, it is
understood, provides that Great Brit
a in shall have the same number of
votes in the league assembly as the
United States in any matters affect
ing the British empire. It is thought
this substitute will satisfy one'or two
democrats and two or three republi
cans who dislike to vote against the
Johnson amendment.
The result on the Johnson amend
ment depends on seven republicans
on the one hand and five or six demo
crats on the other. Republicans who

Richest Newspaperman Thinks He
Prefers to Talk to Unfor- .
tunates Than to Royal Heir.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 23. (Spe
cial.) Cornelius J. Vanderbilt Jr., the
wealthiest newspaper reporter in the
world, "covered" police for a Seattle
afternoon newspaper this morning,
declaring that the job "is Just the
sort ho wants," preferring the news
paper work here to hs long trip for
the New York Herald, in which he
interviewed the Prince of Wales, the
premier of Manitoba and other nota
bles. "This is the life," declared Mr. Van
derbilt this morning after interview
ing one of the trusties in the Seattle
city Jail. "It's Just what I want.
Lots more fun than talking to the
Prince of Wales and the big men."
When young Vanderbilt ' returns to
New York he is going to go on the
police run, where he expects to meet
drunks, vagrants, murderers, burglars
and so on.
"I'm scared to death of the city
editor," said the young reporter. "His
name is Richardson, and the fellows
on the staff say he's a hard-boiled,
guy. Just now I'm working under
J. K. Ohl, who is a peach of a fellow."
Young Vanderbilfs first experience
directly under a city edjtor was as
police reporter today. After his ex
perience in France as a private he
was scheduled to enter a university
this fall.
"I don't want to go to school Just
yet," he said. "My dad and I differed
over the matter and I went into the
newspaper game. The newspaper men
I have met seem to be the ones who
are doing things. If there is a suicide,
a newspaper man is on the job. A
big fire and he's the bird that walks
past the policeman. Besides some
day I hope to be the editor of a great
daily.
"This morning I met Ole Hanson of
Seattle. Fifty million people in the
east would like that privilege, and
I got it because I'm a newspaper re
porter." EXTENDED SURVEY LIKELY

STATEMENTS VARY WIDELY
Corporation Officials Dispute
Workers' Figures.
MANY PLANTS NOW IDLE
Day Passes Quietly in Pittsburg
District; Men Reported Arrested
for Refusing to Work.
(By the Associated Prees.)
Organized labor gained ground in
Chicago, Youngstown and other west
ern centers on the second day of the
great steel strike, which was marked
by increased violence, but. according
to officials of the United States Steel
corporation and various independent
companies, made but little headway in
Pittsburg and other eastern mills.
From the south were received de
cidedly conflicting reports, such as
from Birmingham, where union lead
ers claimed 4000 men were out and
plant officials asserted there was
such a surplus of labor that hundreds
of men were set to sweeping floors
for lack of other tasks.
In the Chicago district, where union
leaders claim an additional 10,000
men had gone out, more steel plants
were closed in South Chicago and
Indiana Harbor, although at the lat
ter place officials of an "independ
ent" company explained that their
shutdown had been ordered merely to
avoid responsibility for industrial
warfare. Yesterday only the Gary
mills of the United States Steel cor
poration, some small plants in East
Chicago and five independent mills
in Hammond attempted operation.
Yonngstovrn Strikers Score.
In the Youngstown district proper
strikers achieved their most marked
success, causing complete suspension
of work in every plant in the Mahon
ing valley by calling 4000 away from
their "posts.
Union leaders boldly heralded a
spread of the strike, declaring that,
whereas only 284.000 of th-j 500,000
workers affected had marched out of
the mills on the opening day, their
ranks now numbered 327,100. They
predicted that
today or tomorrow
would see the closing of many more
plants and announced that they hoped
to extend the strike to the Great
Lakes seamen and union trainmen.
Industrial leaders, while withhold
ing their own figures, challenged the
claims of labor's leaders. Representa
tives of the Carnegie company, the
largest subsidiary of the United
States Steel corporation, declared that
the situation was "much improved.
An estimate was made that, in

COTTAGE GROVE. Or., Sept. 23.
(Special.) A man who gave his name
as A. M. Saunders is in the county
jail because G. H. Pitcher, city mar
shal, when about to start for home
early Sunday morning, had a hunch
that If he went home, something
would happen. Pitcher stepped be
hind a building out of sight and in a
moment saw someone go in behind a
cigar store. When the marshal got
there the man was up on the roof pry'
ing open a window. The officer let
the robber continue and did not in
terrupt the man until he could see
that he had filled his pockets with
plunder.
Pitcher gets these hunches every
once in a while. Sometimes he catches
a burglar, sometimes a booze-laden
automobile, sometimes something else.
but he always gets something.
EUGENE. Or.. Sept. 23. (Special.)
When City Marshal Pitcher of Cot
tage Grove, caught up with a pedes
trian on the Pacific highway as he
was coming to Eugene in his car. he
had no idea that this was the man
he had been seeking on the charge
of holding up and robbing another
man near Yoncalla the day before.
but after inviting to ride, and after
having traveled several miles with
him the deputy sheriff suddenly re
membered the description of the al
leged holdup man and was certain
mat ne and his passenger were one
and the same.
Pitcher stopped his car and sur
prised his passenger with a demand
to hold up his hands and drop the
rifle which he carried. As Pitcher
was armed with a revolver the man
quickly complied with the demand
and the rifle and a revolver which
the alleged holdup artist carried were
placed out of reach in the rear of the
car. Pitcher brought his passenger
on to Eugene and locked him up in
the county jail. He gave the name
of Julius Fronczak. He admitted
stealing the rifle and revolver, but
said he held up no one.
He declared that he found the
weapons and a number of other ar
ticles in an old house.
