CROWD AT PLENARY
SESSION THRILLED
REAL ACHIEVEMENT SEEN
Announcement of Four-Power
Pact Sensation.
Senate Ratification of Treaty Just
Obn eluded at Conference Now
Is Counted Certainty.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington. D. C, Dec. 10. M. VI
vianl supplied the oratory. Senator
Lodge furnished the sensation and
Sir Arthur Balfour added the good
feeling at the fourth open session of
the disarmament conference today.
The session had a rather dull begin
ning, but slowly warmed to Its task
as Senator Lodge unfolded the four
power agreement between the United
States, the British empire, France and
Japan, designed to preserve peace in
the Pacific.
As Senator Lodge began reading
the text of the treaty, several in the
audience who followed closely the
Versailles pact from beginning to end
In the American senate shook their
heads. There were whispers plainly
audible that "the senate will never
ratify It," but when he had concluded,
applause came from those very per
sons who but a few minutes before
were skeptical.
In evident memory of Article X of
the League of Nations covenant, there
was well sustained applause particu
larly when he declared:
"There is no provision for the use
Of force to carry out any of the
terms of the agreement, and no mili
tary or naval sanction lurks in the
background or under cover of these
plain and direct clauses."
Spectators Oat Thrill.
The audience appeared to regard it
as nothing short of sensational that
an American delegation could get to
gether with the representatives of
several other great nations and work
out an International agreement that
was not open to the charge of being
either an alliance or a league. When
Senator Lodge read Section IV of the
treaty, which provides for the termin
ation of the Anglo-Japanese alliance,
the effect on the spectators was all
but equal to the thrill given by Sec
retary Hughes at the first session of
the conference when he unexpectedly
laid down before the foreign dele
gates President Harding's concrete
proposal for a 10-year naval holiday.
at Vivianl, now head of the French
delegation in the absence of Prime
Minister Briand. plainly Intended by
nature for a great tragedian, gave the
conference a further taste of gei.uine
French eloquence and oratory. HIS'
earnestness and delivery were, so im
pressive that one of the stirring mo
ments of the conference was when Mr.
Balfour, at the opening of his address
referring to the Vivianl speech, said:
"We have Just had the pleasure of
listening to one of the greatest mas
ters eloquence now living."
Balfour Tribute Barked.

French view of the agreement pre
sented by Mr. Lodge.
Many times the delegates of the
nine nations at the table Joined - in
applause of the French speaker and
Senator Underwood, one of the least
emotional men In American public
life, grasped both the Frenchman's
hands as he took his seat, holding on
for some time to shower his congrat
ulations while others were seeking
to do the same thing.
Briton Radiates Cheer.
For some reason, when Mr. Balfour
rises a smile lights the countenances
of most of the conference. Today was
no exception. He is delightful to look
at and speaks so smoothly, so agree
ably and always as if he took no
credit, either to himself or the British
empire, for anything that is being
accomplished in this conference.
Every proposal he treated today, aa
before. Just as If It had been pre
pared entirely by Secretary Hughes
and others and handed to him for
his approval. His attitude is that he
and his government are always grati
fied to approVe any steps making for
peace, and he looks at Secretary
Hughes just as if to say, "Charley, old
boy, you're all right; the world be
lieves In you and so do we."
And it can truthfully be said that
several noted Irishmen in today's au
dience who have moved actively with
the cause of Irish independence joined
whole-heartedly in the applause when
Mr. Balfour told of his desire and
the desire of the British government
to promote "good relations between
the two great branches of the English-speaking
race."
It is doubted that there will be any
difficulty In securing senate ratifica
tion of the treaty presented today.
Much of the opposition that began to
develop two weeks ago appears to
have died out. and the surprising and
gratifying announcement this week of
the conclusion of the agreement be
tween England and Ireland to set up
an Irish free state was a distinct
setback to those who sought to use
the Irish question to disrupt the
parley.
HOOD APPLES IN ARIZONA
Grower AVrltes Oregon Orchard 1st
of Excessive Freight Rates.
HOOD RIVER. Or., Dec. 10. (Spe
cial.) Hood River apples are being
sold In Arizona this year, according
to W. W. Carn'fcy, owner of the White
Wing ranch at Tempe. Mr. Carney
writes to S. G. Oxborrow, local orch
ardlst. whose name was found on a
box of C-grade apples just purchased
by the Arizona grower, in part as fol
lows: "In this county the freight absorbs
about 51 per cent of the cantaloupe
crop and the commission men 20 per
cent, leaving 29 per cent for the
farmer, who must pay the expense up
to the time of shipping. Your apples
were fine."

President Tells Senator McNary
Indorsements or Official From
West Are Not Necessary.
THE OREGON1AN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington. D. C. Dec. 10. Clyde B.
Altchison of Oregon will be reap
pointed to the interstate commerce
commission, in the opinion of Senator
.McNary and others who have been in
terested In the matter.
Senator McNary visited the White
House this afternoon and offered to
submit several letters and telegrams
of indorsement sent to him In Com
missioner Aitchlson'a behalf, but was
told by the president that the in-
were not necessary. Mr.
Harding indicated that his mind was
made up to reappoint Mr. Altcnison.
which was in line with reports which
have been coming from the White
House for several days.
It is understood that within the
last few days representatives of the
western intermountain country have
been putting in a word in Mr. Aitch
ison's behalf, saying that, while he
did not agree with them on some of
the principles of ratemaking he had
been uniformly fair.
The fear had swept over the inter
mountain country that a candidate
was to be put forward from the Cali
fornia coast, who stood ready and
anxious, if appointed, to go to bat
nir.iinst everv DrlnclDle for which the
western interior has been fighting.
James A. Ford or the spoicane
chamber of commerce, who was con
spicious in the campaign which land
ed J. B. Campbell of Spokane on the
commission several months ago. has
been here for several days and is un
derstood to have let the president
know that in the Judgment of interior
cities he could do no better In naming
a coast man than to reappoint Mr.
Altchison.
$11,150 Damage Case Lost.
A verdict for the defense was re
turned Friday in the $11,160 damage
suit of Ionian Collins against the
Northwestern Electric company and
Mr. and Mrs. Sanford Whiting for
burns received while operating an
electric iron in the basement of the
Whiting home, 535 East Nineteenth
street. The plaintiff held that the
electric company had been negligent
in providing a faulty iron and that
the Whitings were" to blame for re
quiring her to use It. but a Jury in
the crfurt of Circuit Judge Hamilton
found that no negligence existed.
