EXPECTED THIS SESSIO?!
Although Fifteen Months
: Sincs-Hrding Submittfidti
Plan Uttie Yet Done ,
! WASHINGTON. May 24 An
amended proposal for American
membership in the world court
was approyed by the aenatevfor-
eign relations committee today
and placed on the calendar of the
senate where It la expected to re
pose undisturbed during the. two
remaining weeks of thesession. ,
Acting just 15 months to the
day after it receiyed the member
ship proposal of President Hard
ing, the committee reported by a
party rote a resolution requesting
that American membership be
conditional on amendnredt. of the
world court status to diforce the
tribunal completely V from -the
league of' nations and ' prorlding
In' addition that this ceuntry? re
serre to itself the Monroe doc
trine and others of. its cherished
policies. ..
: The resolution -was prepared .by
Senator Pepper, republican,- Penn
BjlTania. who said It "was bullded
on the foucdztion laid down, by
- Preside Harding and support ot
CIiaIrniin Le' ;a and airrepubli-
i: x?n . Irrecocl " ;sT but one. Sen-
ator Johnson -of California., alone
leaving :hl3 xartr-'I-sIsrahip'Tto
oppose. " Senator E-i; .tcad pt Mln-
- nesota, the, famer-Uior member,
also supported ' tla I r opsial but
said he did not a;;roT it and
would lay before tba senate short-
" ly.a peace plan of ti3 own. ;
i The democratic members op
posed the Pepper plan, and. gaye
notice they would bring in a reso
lution designed ; to follow more
closely Hhe recommendations f of
the two republicin presidents.
The proposal "which provides- for
; the reserratioss framed by Sec
' retary Haghea-but not forsamend
, ment of the -court statute Itself.
was voted dawn in the committee
10' to 8. with only democratic sen
ators and Senator; Lenroot, repub
, lican. Wisconsin, supporting. It.
: Senator Lodge's plan for erec
tion of an entirely, new court
through .the agency of a. new
Ha'sue conference was withdrawn
by its author just before the com
mittee endorsed the Pepper plan
by a vote of 10 to 6. ;
Neither among the friends nor
en amies of the court is there any
. expectation that any .resolution on
the isubject can .be brought by a
vcte before the . ad Journment of
' congress. Tae democrats probalh
' ly will aeele to bring their plan up
for! debate in order to place them
selves on record before the coun
try1 but they, recognize that a fin
al verdict by the senate must, wait
until next session,? at least.-.

The vote was taken by several'
senators as a fair indication of the
lineup should the president vetof

ered unlikely by .several republi

ferred, today with representatives
Mills of New York and Tllson of
Connecticut,' republicans, members
of the house ways- and means com
mittee, who voted against passages
of the bill when -first, before-the
house. They said Mr. Cool id ge
Indicated little as to his probable

though opposed- to some of the
provisions, , it ; is understood both
representatives are in favor of en

Upsetting previous calculations,
Chairman Smoot of the senate fin
ance committee and one of.the.-ad-ministration
spokesmen in the sen
ate declared today the measure
as now . framed would meet all
government expenses now regard
ed as necessary,-the next fiscal
year, including the soldier's' bonus
outlay, and permit a treasury Bur
plus of $2,000,000. ,
The. house will take up the con

overwhelming acceptance there is
predicted. Little time is expected
to t he 'devoted' to debate and It is
considered likely the measure may
be engrossed and sent to the pres

slaln.youth- It-was- writtea - ia
scribbling style, was ungramr-atl-.
cal in phrasing, and warned
Franks that .his, dauxter "k;u!1
be next." A half dozen detec ivea
wens .hurried to the Franks 1 nn
and placed on guard although tha
police attached little ImporUsc i
to. the missive. ' '
, The second letter, signed "a f or
ry man." was addressed to C.lif
of Police Morgan A. Collins and
purported to be from the s! yer
himself and intimated that he had
committed fcuicide.
, "Dear Chief," this letter read.
'1 am the murderer and the kid
naper of the Franks boy. WLm
rou get this letter I will probably
be a dead man. I. intend to com
mit suicide. I am sorry I did this
Inhuman piece of. work."
" The police at first attached lit

which was typewritten but toe k a

mand for $10,000 received , by

caused the police to belfeve that

.With this theory in mind detec
tives hurried to a wost fide postal
sub-station where the letter was

lice also started chocking up on a
ruan whose body was removed

affort to learn-if ho bad any con

man , apparently had bueu dead
only a few 'hours.
the. police added little to the
list of clues on -which they are
waking. These consisted of the

where--his body was secreted, a
