COUNCIL INSPECTS
OBNUHL PROPOSAL
Railway Land Is Asked, for
Vacating Streets. .
LONG STRIP rS WANTED
Xn ruber of Changes In Project Are
,- Suggested by Officiate, One
an Overhead Crossing.
Members of the city council yester
day accompanied railroad officials on
an inspection trip in tbe terminal
yards here in an investigation of the
applications by the lines for vacations
of streets to expand the freight terminals.
With the Inspection weri conceived
a' number of changes In the project
which will be placed In the hands of
the city engineering forces for con
sideration.
. The first of these proposals calls
for the donation to the city by the
railroads of a strip of 40 feet along
Front street for about one and one
half miles to widen this street to
120 feet. Commissioner Barbur. who
made the suggestion, said he desires
to make Front street similar to the
embarcadero along San Francisco's
water front.
OTerhead Croasinr Tree.
' 'The railroads. Mr. Barbur main
tained, could easily afford to donate
the property in return' for street
vacations by the city.
. Commissioner Mann suggested the
erection of an overhead crossing to
connect the Broadway bridge with
Ninth street. He declared such a
ramp would care for much of. the
traffic which now finds its way into
Uroadway and causes congestion in
that important main artery.
Overhead crossings throughout the
terminal yards were proposed by City
Engineer Laurgaard to enable traffic
to reach Front -street by various
routes in tbe event that the city de
cides to grant the vacations sought by
the railroads. The city engineer de
clared that under the plana as sub
mitted by the railroad engineers ve
hicular traffic would be forced to go
more than a mile out of Its way to
reach important industries on Front
street.
. The inspection trip created some
sentiment among city offioials to "go
low" on tbe vacation proceedings.
Problem after problem bobbed tip.
True, many of the problems were
minor ones, but the city officials
seemed determined to solve each one.
looking well into the future.
The council will have authority to
deal with tbe railroads direct, after
May 26, on the subject of street va
cations, by virtue of the terms of the
Kubli bill passed by tbe last legis
lature.
. .Should the city officials come to
terms with the railroad officials, and
in the event that the city engineers
encounter no serious obstacles, it will
be possible to submit the vacations of
the 40-odd street portions to the peo
ple at the special election on June 5,
Carefnlnesn la Favored.

adequate to handle the business. .
t City Commissioner Mann proposed
that the railroads pay the terminal
Company the amount of money the
land would be worth which tbe rail
roads are seeking from the city In
the event the vacations are granted,
and thus give tbe terminal company
the opportunity to nse such funds
in the construction of a new pas

Jenkins, there Is practically no co

trouble in shifting their operations
to another section after they have
been uncovered in one place. Like

comparatively light penalties because

WASHINGTON. D. C, April 12.
The fight over the Colombian treaty
was reopened in the senate today.
with Senator Lodge leading the rati
fication forces.. 1
The contest, which the administra
tion forces hope will result in a fa
vorable vote April 20, began with the
reading in open executive session of
a message from President Harding,
who declared "the early and favora
ble consideration of this treaty would
be very helpful in promoting our
friendly relationships." The message
was read in executive session March
9, but was not made public until to
day.
Better Relations Foreseen.
Senator Lodge declared ratification
not only would improve relations
between the United States and Latin
America, but that the world situation
as regards oil, of which Colombia has
rich store, seemed "strongly to Just!
fy, in fact to demand, the ratifica
tion."
Acceptance of the present pact, he
contended, would not be inconsistent
with the stand taken in 1917 by re
publican minority, members of the
foreign relations committee in refus
ing to agree to a favorable report.
Since then, he declared, changes have
been made, including elimination
the expression of the American gov
ernment's regret to Colombia for the
part played by the United States In
the events attendant, on the separa
ion of Panama from Colombia. These
changes, he asserted, removed in the
main the objections raised in 1917.
Oil Field-Considered.
He further declared ratification
would cast no reflection on the ac
tion of President Roosevelt in extend
ing recognition to Panama after it
had revolted from Colombia.
Declaring that "the indications re
very strong that very large oil fields
are on the point of development in
Venezuela and Colombia," the senator
said, "American companies have al
ready started in Colombia, but they
will pass into the hands of the pow
erful British combination if our peo
pie cannot understand that they will
be protected against wrong and in
justice if they invest in countries
other than their own for the purpose
of furnishing the United States with
oil and enlarging our commerce.
Another aspect of the oil question
was brought out in a letter written
by Secretary Fall and read by Mr,
Lodge. In it Mr. Fall charged "Brit
ish oil interests are giving every as
surance to Obregon and Mexican of
ficials in their support and friendly
co-operation, seeking advantage
against, or over American companies,
while the British government owning
this oil company (the Agnila com
pany) "is ostensibly standing by the
United States" in its protests against
obnoxious Mexican degrees.
Harding's Message Read.
The message of President Harding
read as follows:
I very respectfully invite the at
tention of the senate to the pending
treaty which has been negotiated be
tween the United States and the re
public of Colombia, which is in the
hands of your honorable body with
full information relating to its ne
gotiation and its later modification
and revision.
'The early and favorable considers
tion of this treaty would be very
helpful at the present time in pro
moting our friendly relationship.
There have been many and long de
lays in dealing with this treaty until
we have been made to seem unmind
ful, when in truth we have had no
thought but to deal with this sister
republic with most cordial considera
tion. I believe the revised treaty to
be a fair expression of our just and
friendly relationship with the re
public of Colombia and I would re
joice to bavour example in dealing
with the republic of Colombia to be
made an assurance of that prompt
ness and firmness and justice which
shall invite added confidence in our
government and a' new republic for
our own republic."

Combing Won't Rid
Hair of Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid ot dan
druff Is to dissolve it, then you de
stroy It entirely. To do this, fret about
four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply It at night when retiring;; use
enough to momten the scalp and rub
It in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most. If not all, of your dandruff will
be cone, and three or four more ap
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have
You will find. too. that all Itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus
trous, glossy, silky and soft and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is Inexpensive and
never fails to do the work. Adv.
