score of 18 to 3 was chalked up

Dallas used to hare one or the

And they seem to be holding their

six straight wins this season, and

During the debate today Sena
tor Newberry's clam to his seat
was denounced and defended. A
large crow4 filled the galleries in
anticipation; of a bittr fight and
they could not b3 said to be dis
appointed, Tor at the outset Sen
ator Caraway, Democrat of Ar
kansas, launched an attack- on
the Newberry supporters, while
Senator Spencer and Senator Wil
liams, Democrat of Mississippi,
soon Jo'ned in the debate.
When Senator Spencer an
nounced thit he had been inform
ed Senator; Newberry rwould take
the floor Monday, it was said by
leaders that it would be the first
time in the two years since his
election that the Michigan sena
tor had addressed the senate. Sen
ator Townsend; Mr. Newberry's
Republican i colleague, also, was
said to be prepared to speak for
three hours in defense of the
unior senator from his state.
, Williams Brings Laughter
Senator Williams had not long
entered today's debate when the
presiding officer was frequently
forced to tap: for order as the
Mississippi I senator's shafts pro
duced laughter and occasionally
applause from the floor and the
galleries. ;lt was Mr. Williams
who elicited from Senator Spen
cer the statement that senator
Newberry would speak in his own
defense.
Senator Williams said he de-
pried to hear the defense to be
oiiered in : tne nope tnai air.
Newberry could give reasons why
he should retain his seat and "not
disgrace not only his own good
family, but the good family of
his wife." ;
I have ; known It is .family a
long time,'? continu-d Mr. Wil
liams. 'l am very fond of them.
They hav Jivd straight and use-

in the right way and I hope he
can explain away these charges.

against him."
There was also hurled at the

Five Powers Are Asked to

Forms of War
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. ( Iy
tirs Associated Press. )- A flve
power contract to impose the ae
old penalties for piracy against
naval commanders who violate ac
cepted laws of naval warfare wis
approved today by- the armamelt
committee of the Washington con
ference. It completod j the Root
formula for suppression of U-bojtt
teffrisrii at sea and the commit-'
tee then moved forward toward
a proscription: of gas warfare on
land or sea. . t
Again Mr. Root drew the reso
lution to effecft the prohibition.!
Again an immediate five-power
contract to abandon gas or other
similar chemical weapons as be
yond the pale of human tolerante
is proposed, 'to be worked opt
laer by world agreement into
the fabric of; international laf
And again it seemed certain that
under American initiative, war In
the future would be stripped of
others of the ihorrors German in
genuity let loose upon the world.
Anti-Gas Approved
Italy gave prompt adhesion o
the anti-gas project as "a real step
in the path of progress and civil
ization." Adjournment of the
committee prevented the views of
other delegates, froro being pre
sented, but all were said to favor
the ban on gas warfare.
As the natal experts shaping
technical questions In the naval
limitation sections of the forth
eomlng treaty still were wrangl
ing over definitions to make clear
the agreements they have el
ready reached the armament com
mittee adjourned on call. The
naval men labored all day in, Mia
hope of concluding tonight, hut
without success. They will com
plete their work tomorrow, how
ever, and thei full committee will
bo in a position to resume Mon
day, witn tne way ciearea tor
quick framing of the naval limi
tation treaty and an omnibus
burden of allied pacts, under
standings and declarations. r
Slay Not Go In Treaty
It was no? definitely decided
tonight whether the anti-gas dec
laration was. to Je incorporated In
the voluminous treaty that will
be required to cover the naval un
derstandings. It may be' put forth
as a separate product of the con
ference it final approval is given
the Root prohibitory resolution.
It seemed moVe likely. 'however,
that it would 'go into the genaifal
treaty, soon to be laid before the
armament committee for final Ac
tion. S
There was a rearrangement to
day of the Root formula for cunn
ing submarine operations against
merchant cratt.f As ihe propos
als caroefrom; the armament com
mittee, it was divided into fob
separate articles. v !
fILst of Article
The first re-stated in brief lan
guage the ftceppted rules of naval
warfare applying to merchafll
ships,! and specifically applied
these rules to submarines. l B
second asked jadherence of all na
tions to this reaffirmation of in
ternational law. The third pro
posed a new j principle of inter
national law prohibiting use Of
submarines commerce destroy,

among the fife powers to adopt

to seek world; agreement on that
principle as an immediate exten

speech, during which he was mov
ed to such depths of emotion that
tears stood in his eyes and his
voice occasionally ! was choked

Mr. De Valera msdo it plain In
his speech of resignation that his .
object was to enable the Dall to
choose between what he called the
representatives of two fundamen
