WASHINGTON", Oct. IS. Bitter
feeling engendered by the peace
treaty's Shantung provision got close
to the boiling point again yesterday
in the senate.
Repeatedly during: the five-hour
debate on the subject the gavel
sounded to bring order out of a con
fusintr cross-fire of oratorical pro
jectiles, and once It was ruled that
language used had violated the sen
ate's rules by Imputing to senators
conduct unworthy and unbecoming.
The declaration to which formal ob
jection was taken waa made by
fc-enator McCumber of North Dakota,
in a heated exchange with Senator
Reed of Missouri, and had to do with
charges that Japan was acting In bad
faith in the promise of her states
men to return Shantung province to
China.
"Japan was our associate in the
war," said theJorth Dakota senator,
"but I know that now that the war
practically has ended, many senators
prefer to consider her as our enemy.
Germany seems to be more an object
of solicitude than our friends who
helped us defeat Germany."
"ame Offenders, Says Reed.
"If the senator means that," shouted
Senator Reed, "I want him to name
the senators to whom he refers."
Senator McCumber retorted that he
would let recent utterances in the
senate chamber speak for themselves,
and when he declined to yield to
further questioning by Senator Reed
the latter 'appealed to the chair, de
claring loudly while Senator McCum
ber continued his speech that the
language used had been unparlia
mentary. When he had quieted the disputants
Senator Ball of Delaware, temporarily
presiding, thumbed through a senate
rule book while a half-dozen other
members tried all at once to get
in a word of advice. Senator Reed
then withdrew his objection, where
upon Senator McCumber declared he
had no intention of taking back what
he had said and insisted that the
clerk read the passage of his speech
which had been questioned.. That
brought a renewal of the Missouri
senator's protest. Senator Ball ruled
the language out of order and Senator
McCumber resumed with the remark
that he hadn't in the least changed
lii 3 mind about the truth of what he
had said.
McCumber Anmer Lodge.
Senator McCumber, a republican
member of the foreign relations com
mittee, was speaking in reply to
Chairman Lodge of the committee.
who had just concluded a prepared
address supporting the Shantung
amendment and declaring Japan was
building in China an empire menacing
the United States. Japan relentlessly
had broken her pledges and would
continue to do so in furtherance of
her scheme for China's exploitation.
Mr. Lodge asserted.
In replying Senator McCumber
argued that the proposed amendment
would be of no avail because Shan
tung already was In Japan's posses
sion and altering the treaty would
not change that possession. On the
other hand, he said, the league of na
tions would give the "civilized world
a grip upon Japan's throat" to com
pel her to make good her promises to
restore the province to China.
Later Senator Reed made an ex
tended argument against the league,
asserting that if it had the power to
force Japan to give back Shantung
it certainly would have the power to
compel the United States to do what
ever it desired. He argued that the
league council and assembly would
not be judicial bodies, because every
member would be an interested party
in a big world question.
Hitchcoelc Assails Reed
Senator Reed also engaged In a se
ries of heated exchanges with Sena
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska, the ad
ministration leader, who challenged
a number of his statements about the
practical operation of the league
The clash reached a climax when the
Missouri senator made a passing ref
erence to the arms embargo bill,
which he said Senator Hitchcock had
introduced after the sinking of the
Lusitania. "well knowing that If it
passed the Germans soon would be
pounding at the gates of Paris."
The administration leader declared
the bill had been introduced in De
cember, 1914, at the first opportunity
after the war started and that the
statement that it was after the Lusi
tania sinking was a sample of the
"reckless statements Senator Reed
had been making "all over the coun
try."
Later Mr. Reed showed the measure
had been re-introduced in December,
1915, and Senator Hitchcock said he
never had apologized for the bill and
never expected to, having presented It
in the interest of peace and neutrality.
Denial of statements relative to
alleged sugar hoarding: by wholesale
houses, made at the housewives
council Tuesday afternoon, followed
closely upon the publication of the
story in an evening paper.
"We have been unable to get sugar
since August 25," said a member of

FEREXCE XAMES PASTORS.
REDS REPORTED ACTIVE
OREGON CITY, Or., Oct. 5. (Spe
cial.) That agitators are busy among
the laborers in the industrial plants
of Oregon City, trying to precipitate
another strike,- was told the Live
Wires organization at its weekly
luncheon Tuesday by J. C. Williamson.
Circulars of a radical nature have
been quietly distributed among the
working men and a meeting was
called at 1:30 last Sunday at
Labor temple," said Mr. William
'Some 40 men were present and
this number only four were real
laboring men. However, the sane
element at the meeting prevailed and
the strike was not called.
"I believe the situation is s'erious
and one that the business men of Ore
gon City should be interested in. I do
not think the working men are in
sympathy with a strike and the agi
tation is being carried on by those
who do not work but live by what
they can get from the man who works
hard for his daily bread."
The matter was referred to the
Oregon City post of the American
legion for that organization to, take
such steps as it saw fit should the
agitators become a menace to the in
terests of the working people and
business men of this city.
condition." The six wholesale gro
cers, including men from Allen &
Lewis, Mason, Ehrman tc Co., Lang
& Co.. the T. W. Jenkins Co., Wah-
hams Sc Co. and Wadhams & Kerr,
held a meeting Tuesday afternoon
and each one reported that his house
had not a single sack of sugar on
hand at that moment.
'Furthermore, there would be little
to gain by hoarding. The govern
ment has set a price and we have to
conforlrn to it. There has been some
justification of the recent charge by
retailers of two pounds for a quarter.
The loss was heavy on cartage In one
nd two-bag lots, and more paper
bags were used."
The meeting held yesterday by
wholesalers was for the purpose of
checking up on the acute situation
and, if possible, arranging to equalize
distribution. It was announced dur
ing the course of the discussion that
11 cane sugar today would have the
price advanced 12 cents per hundred.
The jobber heretofore, it was ex
plained, has never taken advantage of
the full profit allowed him by the gov
ernment and the heavy expense of
cartage for small lots necessitates
some such step. Normally, however,
the housewife will feel no decided
Increase, and when the supply again
is plentiful, will be able to secure
CO and 100-pound lots at not over . 11
cents.
Beet sugar, which will be plentiful i
on November 1, will come in at $9-95
hundred. The price of cane sugar
has been $9.77.
One of the wholesalers remarked
that his firm had been accustomed to
ship from 50,000 to 60,000 bags of
sugar weekly under normal condi
tions, whereas, the city of Fortiand
alone has had but from 3000 to 4000
bags a week during the present crisis.
The arrival of the steamer Rose City
todaywith a large cargo of sugar will
afford mucn relief.
'Some objection has been made to
the canneries holding so much sugar,
and hints have been given out that
they are combining with grocers to
hold up the price of canned fruits.
This Is as impractical as the hoard
ing charge," said the wholesaler. "The
canneries have been given only
enough to care for the fruit that
needed to be saved. A little incon
venience in the home is nothing com
pared with the calamity of losing a
season 8 fruit crop, very mucn neeaea
by the country this coming winter."
Practically the only topic unaer dis
cussion at the fair price committee
last night was sugar.

that the code is essential to sanita
