SH0RTRIDGE TALKS
FOR RATIFICATION;
Portions of Day Taken Up
With Numerous Confer
ences by Both Sides
WASHINGTON. March 22.
Kipht hours more of oratory, di
vided nbout equally between
praise and condemnation of the
four-power Pacific treaty, went
into the senate record today as
the ratification debate approached
its conclusion.
So great was the crush of sen
ators who wanted to get their
views reported before the hour
for voting arrived Friday, that
an all-aiternoon session was not
sufficient to accommodate them.
For the first time since the de
bate began the senate recessed
for dinner and met again in t he-
evening to let the discussion wear
itself out.
Appeal Made by I'omerene i
On the side of the treaty pro-. J
ponents Senator Pomerene, Ohio,
Democratic member of the for
eign relations committee, took up
the fight for ratification with a
peech telling his party colleagues
that they could not consistently
oppose the four-power pact ii
they had honestly favored the
league of nations. He character
ized the treaty as a "pocket edi
tion" of the celebrated article 10
of the league covnant, and said
that although he would have pre?
f erred the league or the "associ
ation of nations" advocated . by
President Harding, it would be
inexcusable to reject the regional
understanding now offered.
Part Is Denounced
For the opposition the day's
debate was opened by Senator La
Follette, Republican, Wisconsin,
who denounced the treaty as a
British-Japanese scheme to merge
the Anglo-Japanese alliance into
another - alliance binding the
United States to support imperial
istic policies in the Pacific and
the Far Jast. In any conference
held under the treaty, he said
the American representative was
certain to be outvoted by a Japanese-British
commission against
American interests.
Senator Shortridge, Republican
California, and Senator Town
send, Republican, Michigan, spoke
in favor of ratification at the af
ternoon session, the former argu
ing that the provision excluding
"domestic Issues" from the scope
of the treaty constituted an ad
mission by , Japan of the right
of the United States to handle
the Pacific coast immigration in
its own way.
Conferences Numerous
At the evening sessions Sena
tor Walsh, Democrat, Massachus
etts, and Shepard, Democrat, of
Texas, were given right of way
to deliver prepared addresses op
posing ratification.
Numerous conferences between
various senate 'groups took place
while the day's discussion was
in progress and although some
of the irreconcilable group de
clared they had consolidated an
opposition totalling within two
or three votes of enough to de
feat ratification, administration
leaders insisted the margin would
be much greater. The leaders
also stood pat on their predic
tions that no reservation would
be adopted, except the "no alli
ance" declaration drawn by the
foreign relations committee.
In all, seven resolutions and
one amendment are pending and
.t was Indicated today that at
least one more would be present
ed before the final vote. It is
expected to provide that each sig
natory nation shall decide for it-
selfi what questions constitute
"domestic issues," within the
meaning of the treaty. The ques
tion of who would make such a
decision was raised several times
in today's debate, opponents of
the! treaty contending that ex
press provision should be made
to prevent any foreign nation or
combination of nations from
bringing before any ''conference"
a question considered by this gov
ernment to be entirely within Us
own Jurisdiction.

A controversy has arisen in
New York city as to whether
the statue, Civic-Virtue, one
of Frederick MacMonnies'
greatest pieces of work is an
insult to womanhood, and
whether it should be erected
in City Hall Park. Art critics
from from all over the coun
try praise the marble statue
as a most wonderful sculp
ture. Mayor Hylan says that
it. i. i-i

gentleman of Jack Dempsey's
proportions trampling under

rens, is suggestive. In defend
ing his statue Frederick Mac
Monnies says : "In all the forty-three
years that I have
never made a single sexual
suggestive statue. It is easy
to produce sculptures that will
make that kind of an appeal.
Nothing is easier than to
make a suggestive statue.
KILLING OF
HELD JUSTIFIABLE
BY CORONER JURY
John Davison, guard at the state penitentiary who yes
terday shot and instantly killed James Ogle, life-termer at
the prison, was yesterday exonerated by a coroner's jury.
John H. Carson, district attorney, said after the verdict had
been returned that there would be some further investiga
tion into the affair. Warden
vison would be retained as guard.
Ogle was the leader of the
Up Claremont tavern near Portland in November, 1919. and
Kinea j. in. tsurgess, state jhighway commissioner and big
sheep operators, and. George E, Perinsrer. wealthy Umatilla
county wheat grower.
Ogle, confined in the "bullpen
at the state prison,, had said that
any time after March 19 he might
make a break for freedom, and
some way this threat had reached
the officers. Guards were warned.
Two days after this crucial date
Ogle died with a bullet in bi3 body
from Davison's rifle, after the
convict, according to Davison's
story, had hurled a rock at his
keeper and threatened to throw
another.
Davison Followed Orders.
Considerable criticism has been
leveled at Davison since the shoot
ing by persons who believed he
may have invited an attack from
Ogle as an excuse for the shoot
ing, also by others who ask why
he was not in the "house" of post
No. 7 instead of out on the open
wall. In the inquest yesterday
was brought out the fact that Da
vison had been instructed by the
warden's office to stand, when
ever Ogle was in the enclosure,
exactly, at the point on the wall
where he was standing when the
shot was fired.
In general the testimony tended
to show the desperate character
of Ogle and the thorough relia
bility of Davison.
Former Break Xippod.
Percy M. Varney, state parole
officer, told the coroner's Jury
how Ogle, prior to his incarcer
ation in the bull pen, and while
at work leveling the prison base
ball diamond, had ingratiated
himself into the confidence of one
of the guards. In this way he
was able one morning to get into
a line of workers who were be
ing takea outside to repair a
flume. His plan to escape was
nipped by Eugene Halleyv prin
cipal' keeper, and Captain E, A.
"And then to think that I,
who so carefully kept away
from any such work, should
be accused of this !
"I'm only a sculptor. I know
nothing about politics. I don't
want to weep over the ashes.

was about to be passed through
the gate. This Incident led to his
being placed in the bull pen.
"There had been agitation and
plans to escape repeatedly, and
of eVery kind, involving Ogle said
Varney.
Notes Are Passed.
The parole officer told how a
series of notes were cleverly
passed through a door between
George Kemp, another convcit,
and Ogle not long ago. whereby
Kemp was arranging to aid Ogle
in getting away. Kemp, who had
been removed from the bull pen,
was put back as a result.
Recently James Stanley was re
leased from the prison, and about
the time of his release the au
thorities were informed of threats
he had made to cause a delivery
of prisoners "even if I have to
blow up the walls." The night
after his release a privately
owned powder house near the
prison was burglarized and 19
sticks of powder taken. This in
cident caused renewed instruc
tions to the guards to be on the
lookout. When Ogle took his
bath a few days ago he gave his
change of underwear to an at
tendant with the remark: "I
won't need these any more. You
can keep them."
Ogle Cunning Prisoner.
Parole Officer Varney testified
to the cleverness and cunning of
Ogle, but withal his ability to
make friends through a suave de
meanor.
Warden L. H. Compton, who re
turned last night from Seattle, of
fered similar testimony.

Surgical Operation Is
Performed During Trial
MILLEN, Ga., March 22. A
surgical operation performed in
open court upon Sydney Rowe
and Roscoe Chance, two of the
five men charged with the mur
der of Watson Allen last Christ
mas, was the feature of the trial
here today of R. H. Chance, Ros
coe Chance's father.
Using cocain to deaden the pain,
the surgeon extracted several
shots to bear out the contention
of the defense that they were fir
ed on by Allen, who was then
killed in self defense. Roscoe
Chance's body was bared to show
the Jury wounds in his left arm,
left side, and left thigh. He was
driving a car containing the five
men which, it is claimed, was fir
ed upon in the vicinity of the Al
len honie.

Dr. Elliott paints a graphic

returned to Salem last night.
"All day long we hear the

we can and will take them in.
The children are dying of starva

she writes. "If the sun shines for
