TIIE SUNDAY OTIEGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 8, 1922 THREATS CHARGED ft TO NEHH FOES Interests JDeclared at Work to Frighten Senators. CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS LEADING TO IRISH TREATY Ratification of Pact by Dail Puts Definite End to Period of Hostilities Following Rebellion of 1916. FOOLISH FRIENDS BLAMED l,-orl Characterized us Pacifist Brought Into Race Through Efforts of Wilson. ' WASHINGTON', D. C, Jan. 7. Sen ate debate on the Newberry case came to a dramatic climax today, when fcenator Townsend of Michigan, speaking in behalf of his colleague, declured certain interests had threat ened his political life if he voted to sustain the right of Senator New berry to his seat over the contest in itiated by Henry Ford. Senator Townsend declared that if he consulted only his political fu ture, he might be tempted to be silent on the question of the Ford-Newberry contest.. But he declared he could not and would not take the easier path, for in so doing, he would stul tify himself and do violence to his own conscience and courage. Time and again he was interrupted as he attacked the enemies of New berry, who, he said, were "trying to deprive him-of his seat out of ani mosity and hatred." He character ized Henry Ford as" a pacifist who had been thrown into the political ring by President Wilson and assert ed that while too much money had been spent In the Michigan campaign for Newberry's good, the chance of no poor man was hurt, because all three candidates were millionaires. )u'tlonx to Be Permitted. Senator Townsend announced that his colleague would appear Monday to speak for himself, ready to sub mit to reasonable questioning. "I do not doubt," be declared, "that thin good man, who is this moment & senator, would give every dollar he has if he had never entered the cam paign. He has endured the tortures of hell; he hR been villified and ac cused and blamed and it's all the worse because I am convinced it's a political job." Turning to the democratic side, he declared that there must have been a time when some of them, like New berry, hud suffered from the foolish acts of their friends. Senator Trammell, democrat. Flor ida, engaged in exchanges with Mr. Townsend and into these colloquies entered Senator Spencer, republican, Missouri, who is leading the fight for Newberry, and Senator Walsh, demo crat, Montana, a strong opponent. Senators Spencer and Walsh sparred frequently over legal phases of the Newberry case. Senator Trammell later spoke for 30 minutes in denunciation of the claims for retention by Mr. Newberry of liia seu. Trail of Money Seen by Foe. Discussing expenditures in the Michigan primary, Mr. Trammell as serted that through the court and committee records alike ran the thread of money, money f-om begin ning to end. "This money was not used," he con tinued, "for1 legitjmate purposes, but to do the very things forbidden by the Michigan Klatutes." Tho galleries were crowded and among the onlookers were Senator Newberry's tv.o sons, while in an other gallery sat Alfred Lucking, Henry Ford's counsel. Senator Town send referred to the presence of Mr. Ford's "paid agent" in his speech and in that connection mentioned refer ence by Senator Kenyon, republican, Iowa, in a recent attack on Newberry, to the workings of a "social lobby." The Michigan senator declared he knew nothing of such a force, but added that he would rather be sub jected to the influences of friendship than to that of "bitter partisanship and contemptible underhand dealing." Mr. Townsend then told the senate that he 'had seen senators talking with the "paid agent" of Mr. Ford in the senate lobby. POWERS BANP0IS0N GAS "ntlnul Krnm First Pape.) for Japan today, but it was indicated that Mr. Balfour was considering can celing his steamship reservations for next Saturday. Treaty May Be Clarified. If a plenary session Is called for next week, it is not unlikely that among other things It will see an nouncement of a definite agreement for clarification of the four-power Pacific treaty so as to make It inap. plicable to the major Island's of Japan. Aside from Shantung, the biggest elements of potential delay remaining to be discussed are embraced in" the Chinese request for consideration of the "21 demands'" and in the proposal to take up the problem of the Chinese railway concessions. Both of these may be reached before the end of an other week, however, and it is appar ent that the delegates are in no tem per to unduly prolong debate. AIKSHII IMIOBLEM TAKEN IP Development Not Expected to Be liestrlctod by Conference. WASHINGTON. D. C, Jan. 7. (By the Associated Tress.) The five ma jor naval powers, through the naval committee, today voted to outlaw poison gas as a weapon of war, and in adopting the Hoot resolution to that end invited world adherence of all nations to the prohibition as a rule of International law. The committee then turned to the third now agency of war with which it has been called on to deal air craft but had not completed discus sion when adjournment was taken. p- Indications were that there would be no effort to restrict airplane de velopment through limitation of num ber, size or military characteristics. A sub-committee in a report recom mended against such a course as both impractical and unwise. Kven action to curb lighter-than-air craft devel opment or. fleets seemed improbable, as the delegates apparently do not regard Zeppelins as of serious men ace. The discission brought out the .o:ibilit y, however, that a declara tion ajaint the bombing of open u.Aiis or cities m.ght later be laid ,i-fore the conference for approval, couple:! with a five-power contraft to refrain from such acts as among themselves. The anti-gas resolution went went through as drafvn by Klihu Koul, It reads: "The use in war ot asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases and a!l other analogous liquids, materials or de vices having been,' justly condemned by the general opinion of the civilized world and a prohibition of such use raving been declared in treaties to which a majority of the civilized pow- ; ers are parties; "Now, to the end that this prohlbl- j THE following is a chronology of important events In Ireland from the Easter rebellion of 1916 up to the truce of July 11, 1921, between the Sinn Fein and crown, forces and the negotiations between Premier Lloyd George, Sir James Craig of Ulster and Kamonn de Valera, the Irish republican leader, looking to the establishment of peace and the rati fication of the treaty by the Dail Kireann: I16.

November 28 Fighteen fires and lion shall be universally accepted as a part of international law binding alike the conscience and the practice of nations, the signatory powers de clare their assent to such prohibition, agree to be bound thereby between themselves and Invite all other civi lized nations to adhere thereto." In giving adherence of France to this doctrine, Albert Sarraut, head of the French delegation, said that while 'the exercise of authority" In the banning of gas warfare did not seem practicable, the Boot proposal was none tho less useful because it would be "a bond of union" among the five powers against an'abhorrent method of warfare and also because the example they set for themselves pos sessed "a not inconsiderable per suasive power" on world action at large. Arthur J. Balfour for the British, in concurring in the Root principle, argued that the history of interna tional discussion on the subject made the Root proposal no new element of international law but a reaffirmation of that law. Such a course was valu able, he said, although it was a fact that the declaration would not relieve nations of the necessity of preparing themselves to - guard against use of gas by an unscrupulous enemy. While not finally committing the British delegation on the language of the Root proposal, Mr. Balfour ex pressed British acceptance of Us policy. Baron Kato's acceptance for Japan was brief and the formal adoption followed. Mr. Hughes then presented the re port of the aircraft limitation sub committee which was headed by Rear Admiral Moffatt, director of the naval air service. The findings wre summed up in the following para graphs: "It is the opinion of this committee that the limitation of military air power (as regards heavier-than-alr craft) Is not practicable at present.
