SENATE SPEECHES FIERY
Xjodge, Shaking With Emotion, De
clares He Can Not Stand
Attacks on Patriotism.
i.
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 20.
Senate debate on the four power
treaty touched its high-water mark
of bitterness today in an exchange
resulting from suggestions of
secret British-American understand
Ing for further o-operation.
Aroused by recurring references to
such an international understanding
after its existence had been directly
denied, Senator Lodge of Massachu
setts, the republican leader and, a
member of the American arms dele
gation, took the floor and in a voice
shaken by emotion declared he could
no longer be patient under attacks
which seemed to question his patriot
ism and Impugn his honor.
Reply Also Is Dramatic.
Replying in a fashion scarcely less
dramatic. Senator Robinson, demo
crat, Arkansas, an opponent of the
treaty, told the senate he questioned
no one's motives but proposed to do
, his patriotic duty as he saw it with
out permitting himself to be "intimi
dated by outbursts of. indignation.
He remained convinced, he said, that
both of the senate's representatives
on the delegation were "amazingly
ignorant" of some of the things done
at the conference.
The exchanges between Senator
Lodge and Senator Robinson, which
was part of a long debate full of
charges of "slander" and "untruths'
and "propaganda," took place shortly
after the republican leader and other
prominent figures in his party or
ganization had canvassed the whole
treaty situation at a White House
conference with President Harding.
, Chairman Adams Present.
Besides Mr. Lodge, those who were
present included Chairman John T.
Adams of the republican national
committee; Senator McCormick of
Illinois, chairman of the party's
senatorial campaign committee, and
Senator Curtis of Kansas, republican
whip of the senate.
The presence of so many party
chiefs at the conference led to the
impression that they discussed with
the president the possible injection
of the arms conference treaties into
the coming congressional campaign,
but some of the senators who attend
ed said afterward that the primary
purpose was to give Mr. Harding the
latest information as to the lineup on
the four-power treaty ratification
vote to be taken Friday. It was said
that the president reiterated his ac
ceptance of the "no alliance" reserva
tion drafted by the foreign relations
committee and was told there were
. enough votes pledged to ratify the
treaty on that basis.
Democrats Called In.
"Late in the day the president also
called in two democratic senators.
Smith of South Carolina and Kendrick
of Wyoming, for a discussion of the
treaty situation.
The senators on leaving the White
House would not even admit that the
treaties had been the subject of con
versation or from what particular
standpoint they had been discussed.
At the same time administration
officials reiterated that the treaties
were certain to be ratified but-did not
indicate whether additional demo
cratic votes were sought or the status
of reservations was under considera
tlon.
Suggestion of a British-American
understanding for future concerted
action was thrown into the senate de
bate by Senator Borah, republican,
Idaho, who read a statement regard
ing the conference results he said
had been made by Paul D. Cravath, i
New York attorney. In this state
ment Mr. Cravath was quoted as say
ing "he had been told by every mem
ber of the American delegation" that
the conference resulted in an unwrit
ten understanding between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain of such a
cnaracter that "both sides assumed
that in all future emergencies they
.can both count on having the very
closest co-operation."

I SCHOOL TAX INADEQUATE
" (Continued From Pirat Page.)
$1. 85,000." The limitation law is re
ferred to in the report as "pernicious"
and "baneful'' in effect-
The board, at the suggestion of Di
rector Woodward, decided that it
would be inexpedient to make a direct
appeal to the legislature of 1923 for
repeal of the 6.5-mill tax limitation
law, but agreed that the public should
be informed of conditions and pres
. sure brought on the legislature from
this source.
The cost of operating and main
taining schools of the district, exclu
sive of outlays for permanent prop
erties, was $3,106,800 for the school
year ending in June, 1920; $3,476.
S24.93 in 1921, and is estimated at
SS.SOl.'fSS.SS for the present school
year.
The average dally attendance in
the schools was 33,584.8 in 1920.-36,-523.9
in 1921 and 39,124.3 in February,
1922, according to the;k report, which
estimated that there would be 250
more children in scfiool next Septem
ber. - '. ' '
The report states that "the steady
and rapid increase of school papula
tion, and the equally steady and rapid
decrease of school revenues under the
6.5-miIl tax limitation law forecast a
critical condition next fall."

BEAUTY SPECIALIST

A Beauty Specialist Gives tlome
Made Recipe to Darken Gray Hair.
Mrs. M. D. Gillespie, a well-known
auty specialist of Kansas City, re
cently gave out the following state
ment regarding gray hair:
"Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture at" home that will darken gray
hair, and make it soft and glossy. To
a half-pint of water add 1 ounce of
bay rum, a small bo of Barbo Com
pound and ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be purchased
at any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hair twice a week until
the desired shade is obtained. This
will make a gray-haired person look
twenty years younger. It doea not
color the scalp. Is not sticky or greasy
and does not rub oft." .Adv.
tivitles and courses suggested by the
committee include the following, at
the annual cost indicated: Swimming
pools, $16,600; orchestra and band
work, $5900; adult education, $41,000;
short Commercial course, $3000; ele
mentary schools, graduating exer
cises, $126.97; cooking, $19,061.81;
drawing, $10,402.57; gardens, $1244.45;
manual training, $35,014.88; music,
$11,531.13, and sewing,' $20,517.94, a
total of $164,399.75.
Teachers May Be Dropped.
The committee held , that it would
be little or no economy to eliminate
these courses in academic, high and
polytechnic schools, because the pupils
must be taught In some other subject
if these are discontinued.
Just how many of these activities
or courses will be discontinued will
be decided by the board at later meet
ings. If all the eliminations were
made, 75 teachers, or about 6 per cent
of the entire teaching staff, would
lose positions.
Under the provisions of the tenure
of office law, teachers affected by the
abolishing of their positions must be

CONCERT TRIO IS HEARD
Violinist, Cellist and Pianist Ap
pear Before Large Audience.
The second of the present series of
chamber musical trios played by Susie
Fennell Pipes, violin; Ferdiinandi Kon
rad. cello, and J. R. Hutchison, piano,
was given last night before a large
audience in the Multnomah hotel au
ditorium. The trios selected for the
occasion, according to i programme.

97," and the
Minor, Opus 65,'
messages.
The Beethoven took 25 minutes' to
play, and the three artists revealed
the beauty of melodious song that
ever marks all creations that this
famous German classicist wrote. True
to the Beethoven plan, the "andante
cantabile" movement' is the soul and
oasis of the entire motif, and it and
the three others were played with an
unanimity and sympathy that left
nothing to "be desired.'
The Dvorak trio showsr the Bohe
mian master in- a near-Lenten mood
of quiet, spiritual thought. In. this
trio the composer shows traces of his
unmistakable Slav sympathies, which,
experts say, found leaders in Dvorak
and Smetana, although Dvorak can
not be accused of neglect of Magyar
melody. He la especially Slav in the
"poco adagio" movement and the last
half of it when once heard is so ex
quisite that hearers think they have
just been to church. The audience
was so pleased with the playing of
this trio that a hearty recall was
registered, and the delightful "adagio"
was partly repeated.

Beautiful Divorcee Is Declared
Have Said She Was -to
V Marry Banker's Son.'
BOSTON, March 20. Miss Pauline
Virginia Clark, beautiful divorcee,
had gaily announced her engagement
to Bayard Wharton, Harvard athlete
and son of Henry Wharton, Philadel
phia banker, five hours before she
ended her life by poison in her apart
ment early last Thursday morning.
This statement was made tonight
by Miss Ona M. Cosskie of Worcester,
a guest at the party. .
Miss Cosskie asserted that the
young woman had promised her in
tended husband that she would see no
more of the moody young Norwegian
technologist. Otto Halden Larsen of
Christiania, who took his own life
Sunday by poison from the same vial
that he had admitted he had given
Miss Clark' to use.
A wedding ring and a picture of a
woman and a fair-haired boy bearing
strong resemblance to Larsen were
found among the dead student's ef
fects, police said tonight.
This was taken by them to be an
indication that Larsen was married
and as a possible explanation of this
incoherent sentence in a letter to the
medical examiner:
"I knew him able and myself unable
to marry Miss Clark."

statement he made recently to the

France intends to pay her debt to the

France never would be able to pay
