Allied Payments Would Be in Mellon's Hands. BLANKET AUTHORITY ASKED Extension or Reconversion Bill Introduced. HARDING URGES ACTION President In Penrose Letter to Declares Chairman Broad Action Is Xceded. WASHINGTON", D. C, June 23. A bill embodying plans of Secretary Mellon of the treasury department for refunding war loans made to the allies was introduced in the senate today by Chairman Penrose of the finance committee, to which the measure was referred. , Blanket authority would be riven to the secretary under the bill, with the president's approval, to reconvert or extend loans or interest payments, to accept foreign securities in pay ment and to settle all claims not now secured.

President Irarii Mrisnrf. President Harding wrote Chairman Penrose of the senate finance com mittee and Chairman Fordney of the bouse ways and means committee to day that "all tne circumstances sug gest the grant of broad , powers to the secretary of the treasury to han dle this problem in such a manner as best to protect the interests of out government. "I hope your committee and .con gress," the letter continued, '"will find It consistent promptly to sanction such an act as that which is sug gested.

"From this statement," said the Celestial Visitor Is Visible With Telescopes In Various Ob servatories of Country. Next Sunday and Monday are im portant days, in celestial circles. Ac cording to information given out by various observatories throughout the country, on or about Monday, June 27, the tail of the Pons-Winnecke comet will come in contact with the earth, and a meteoric display such as has seldom been witnessed on this earth may result from this contact. But according to the leading astronomers of the country, the exact time of this meeting of the earth with the tail of the comet cannot be ascertained. According to Professor J. W. Dan iels, of the Hill Military academy ob servatory, there is a possibility of the disturbance taking place Sunday night and it may take place Monday or Monday night, but a close watch will be kept for it both days. It is not possible to tell exactly, according to Professor Daniels,' and it is im possible to see the comet, especially since the earth is in the wake of the tail. The celestial visitor has been visi ble with the use of telescopes from the observatories in different parts of the country, including Cambridge, Mass., and Berkeley, Cal., observa tories, since June 12, and its nearest approach to the earth was on June 7, when it was 12.000,000 miles away. It will remain visible to the- earth by means of the telescopes for about a month, although it will at no time be visible to the naked eye. According to Prof. A. O. Leuschner, of the University of California, the meteor shower may take place on June 29, but this is providing the comet hass meteoric material in its wake. The earth and the comet are now in a celestial speed race. The comet has a start of about 12,000,000, miles, and about now is the time when the comet is due to swipe the eerth with its tail, causing the mete oric shower. The shower, if it occurs, will be a harmless and inspiring spe- taclc. HEARST BRANDED. AS FOE OF LABOR near-cyclone hits s' :ering town HT .AILSTOXES DO MUCH .tGE AT WALLA WALLA.

William Ran dolph Hearst was denounced on the floor of the convention of the Amer ican Federation of Labor today by President Samuel Gompers as a "traitor to the cause of America, to the cause of freedom, an -enemy of labor and of Ireland." This statement, together with many other denunciatory remarks regard ing Hearst made by President Gompers in a reply to a question from the floor as to his stand on the Irish question, was cheered and" applauded by the delegates. War Record Attacked. The veteran labor leader declared that Hearst had attacked him be cause he had declined to be "chained to his mad chariot for the presidency of the United States" and because he had tried to "see to it that Mexico shall go undisturbed and not be over run by the American forces." Defining his stand on the Irish question, President Gompers declared that he had carried out every declara tion, of the federation extending sympathy and aid to the Irish re public. Challenge I Issued. "The only real charge against me is (and I plead guilty to it) that I have not freed Ireland," he said. "I chal lenge any man to show I have been faithless in any declaration made by the American Federation of Labor. or that 1' have been, false, faithless or negligent of any of its directions. "When the American Federation of Labor declared that policies be pur sued, even if they drove men to Jail, I did not falter in the fight or in the faith." President Gompers expressed regret that he had to discuss this matter be fore the election of officers. A proposal to organize a banking and beneficial department of the fed eration and establish a system of co operative labor banks throughout the country was defeated.

Walla Walla's hot spell cirnt to a sudden end about 3 o'clock this afternoon when a terrific wind and rainstorm struck, tearing down trees, blowing off awnings, smashing plate glass windows and doing othe damage throughout the city and dis trict. Hail in excess of an Inch In diam eter fell In the upper Mill creek sec tion and some damage was done to fruit and wheat Wheat was leveled by the wind. ' When the first gust of wind struck Walla Walla the temperature was 98 degrees. Thirty minutes later it had dropped to 71. One-fifth of an inch of rain fell in the city, 13-100ths of an inch falling in five minutes. The wind in the city reached a velocity of 36 miles an hour but was much heavier in the country. " .The street car line was put out of commission in the Boyer avenge dis trict when the trolley wire was,Ilown down and live wires were scattered over the street. The storm ended as suddenly as it started. The wind in the city was almost cyclonic in nature, uprooting huge trees which were planted when Walla Walla was a village. More trees were blown down in this storm than any in the recollection of pio neers In many instances trees fell entirely-across streets, blocking traffic and carrying down electric light and telephone wires. , Other trees fell on houses and In yards,, narrowly missing people, but no one was injured. One woman drove ner automobile under a tree for shelter, then felt a premonition and jumped out of the car with her small baby. A minute later a large tree branch crashed through the top of the automobile and struck on the seat she had just left. Certain sec tions of the city practically escaped wind damage, but in the East Main street district, on Washington street and others, tree after tree went down. Reports coming to the city tonight showed that heavy damage had been done to fruit trees in the valley. On some trees practically all the fruit' was shaken off.

(Copyright by the New York Evening Post, Inc. Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON. D. C, June 23. (Special.) Any enumeration of de velopments in Washington, beginning to be apparent just now, will prob ably start with the serious possibil ity that no tariff bill may be passed by the present session of congress. This would be a startling develop ment, considering how much emphasis was laid on the tariff by the repub ican leaders at the beginning of the administration. Disagreement la Noted. The tariff, so far as it has gone, Is still in the ways and means commit tee of the house, ten weeks after tne beginning of the session. Far from approaching the kind of agreement that would mean an early perfection of the bill, the fact is that in the house disagreement becomes daily more apparent and more violent. After the house ways and means committee is through, the findnoe committee of the senate will prob ably spend another ten weeks on the bill. It may well be September be fore debate on the bill gets under vay In the senate and under all the rcumstances it would be bold to predict that the debate can be fin ished and the bill passed before De cember 1. Increased, Energy Noted. Within the past few days thoSe re publican leaders who believe it is a mistake to pass the tariff bill first and that the revision of taxes is toe more immediate necessity I.-ive shown ncreased energy. It Is likely that very soon increased emphasis will be given to taxation measures. Another conspicuous and unexpect ed development is that in the present state of the senate the man who comes nearer than anyone else to be- ng a leader of that leaderless body s Senator Borah. Borah is as uncon cerned with leadership in the formal sense and as loose In his attachment o the republican party organization he ever was. Probably it would be most improbable to expect him ever take on the responsibility of for mal leadership. Treaty Question Is Up. The actions of formal leadership are such as to be greatly repugnant his temperament. But if leader- hip consists in getting what you ight for, Borah comes as near being leader as anybody else in the sen- I to. It is a leadership that depends pon the recognition of popular' uses and the earnest advocacy of them. A third development apparent this eek concerns the question of re- ewing- the Anglo-Japanese treaty, Within this field, there are no official utterances and no one can do more than make deductions from observa tion. The appearance of things is that the government looks on this matter as of interest to It but makes no pretence to clai: i that either Great Britain or Japan is called upon to consult it. But it's also apparent that the government would not wish those British colonies which object to the- treaty to be misled info with drawing their objection on any theory that the United States had been con sulted. Treaty Objections Heard. Outside the administration, in the senate and elsewhere, where men feel more free to talk, there is as much objection to the renewal of this treaty as there is in the British colonies. Men who are not in official positions of responsibility do not hesitate to say that however much justification there may have been for this treaty at a time when Germany and Russia were active In the east and when Great Britain had to protect herself against them, those reasons do not now exist as justification for a re newal of the treaty. The grounds given by friends of Great Britain as reasonable justifi cation for renewing the treaty were that this Is the best way for Great Britain to preserve and further her commercial interests in the east, that failure to renew the treaty would be an unpleasant thing for Great Britain to do toward as loyal an ally as Japan has been, and finally the fact that an identity in religion between a large part of Japan and a large part of India makes the treaty desirable to Great Britain in the highest interest! of the empire. Privilege of Renewing Option on Canadian Acreage Declared to Have Been Given Guide. NEW YORK, June 23. (Special.) Mrs. James A.'Stillman has demanded, through her lawyers, that Dr. Hugh Russell of Buffalo return to her cer tain papers in his possession and the possession of a nephew of Dr. Rus sell, who Is a lawyer in Canada. This, It was learned today, was the reason for the trip to Canada of one of Mr. Brennan's Investigators and not to bring Fred Beauvals, the guide, back to testify. Mr. Wallace, the in vestigator, was accompanied by Miss Estelie Kiee, Mrs. Stillman's secre tary. At the last hearing In Poughkeep- sio Dr. Russell testified that options to certain property adjoining the Stillman camp at Stillman's, Three Rivers, Canada, were in the name ot Fred Beauvals. A blank check made out by Mrs. iStillman also figured in the testimony. The intimation, It was said, was that Bcauvais was being assisted by Mrs. Stillman. It was said by Mrs. Stillman's at torneys that Mrs. Stillman owns a good many thousand acres In Can ada, but wanted some 20 acres ad joining her estate. Fred Beauvals got an option for her for the addi tional property in 1916. This option expired. To get an extension, .Mrs. Stillman later gave Beauvals her blank check, which he filled in for $500, it was said. Eventually Mrs. Stillman bought the land and the deeds are now recorded in her name. Dr. Russell, who has been a con tractor in New Jersey and worked three years for a title guarantee com pany In Chicago, went to the Still man camp in 1919 and advised Mrs. Stillman to look up titles to her prop erty. His nephew did some of the work, and it is asserted that Dr. Russell still retains copies of some of Mrs. Stillman's papers. Mrs. Stillman's lawyers insist that Dr. Russell, who testified at a hear ing that Mrs. Stillman had told him Fred Ueauvais was the father of Guy, used information from the papers in conferences in the interest of Still man and are trying to find ground for legal action against the doctor.

Two of yesterday's matches were truly remarkable, going eaira holes, and found the participants playing the best golf, not only of the tourna ment, but of any Pacific cast tour ney. It would be hard to distinguish between the Smith-Schmidt match and the Egan-Griswold tilt for brilliant play i a?. To Clare Grlswold of the Portland Golf club and an ex-champion must go credit for playing a wonderful game. Matched with H. Chandler Egan, ex-national titleholder and twice winner of the northwest cham pionship, Grlswold forced the Waver ley player to the 39th hole before the match was decided. At the end of the morning roun i Egan had 2 up, and he held this ad vantage to the sixth hole of the sec ond 18 holes. On this hole Grlswold cut down his opponent's lead to 1 hole by taking a t to Egan' S. The match was square at the turn. Mnlrh Square on IMlh. Coming in on the second nine of th afternoon round, Grlswold won the lUlh and 15th holes, while the W'aer ley star took the 11th and 16th holes, and the match was all square on the final hole of the eccond IS. Going tn the 37th hole, Gr'swold had a good Olive while Egan hooked his tee shot. Egan's second shot landed him on the back edge of the green while Grlswold socketed his second shot, landing un a line with the out-of-bouml stakes. After a careful survey by A. Vernon ..lacan, umpire of the match, thu Portland club player received the benefit of tie doubt and his next shot placed him 12 feet on the green. Uoth sunk their putts for a half anuV were off for the 3Sth hole. 'Urrrllenl Miuls IMadr. Driving to tho lsth, bbth players made excellent shots. Grlswold missed his approuth and Egan failed to end tho match on this hole by missing a ten-foot put. Griswold halved the hole by sinking his three foot putt. At tho 39th both players again had terrific drives down the course und were lying side by side. GrlswoM pluyed first and hooked his nio-hle across tne green, i-ir.in aunued nis second shot and was short of the green. The Waverley man, however, played a beautiful chip shot, landing one foot from tho flag. The match ended when Grlswold missed his ten- foot putt.

Russell Smith In his match with Heinle Schmidt continued to serve up the same consistent and steady game with which he defeated Rudolph Vt'il helm in the second round on Wednes day.
