WHISKY USELESS FOR , .
FLU, SAYS DR. WILEY.'
f St. Louis, Jan. 31. Whisky and
htAwly have been eliminated as
medicines, it was declared here to
day by Dr. Harvey V. Wiley, presi
dent of the United States phara
ropocial convention and former chief
of the bureau of chemistry, De
partment of Agriculture. No men
tion of alcoholic liquors as medicines
will be made in the next issue of
the American Pharmacopeia, which
is prepared every 10 years, he said.
This was determined upon, Dr.
Wiley asserted, several years before
national prohibition1 became effec
. tive.
Whisky, instead of an effective
rvmedy or preventive of influenza,
is a positive poison in such cases,
said Dr. Wiley, adding:
"In only one instance would I use
whisky for an influenza case, and
that would be where I wished to
. hasten the departure to heaven of
the patient."
No serum has yet been found to
' prevent influenza, he declared.

NEW
FOR PACT IN
U.S. SENATE
Many Irreconcilables Believe
Move for Discussion to Begin
Feb. 10 Is UselessWant
Treaty Left "Dead."
REPUBLICANS MAY ASK
A TWO-THIRDS VOTE
Vice President Marshall, How
ever. Holds Majority May
.Take Action Slight Hope
In More Negotiations.
Washington, Jan. 31. A possible
foundation for another session ot
senate debate on the peace treaty
was laid today by democratic leaders
as a sequel to the collapse yester
day of bipartisan informal negotia
tions for a compromise on reserva
tions. , ,
Notice was served by Senator
Walsh, Montana, one of the demo
cratic members of the disbanded bi
partisan committee, that Tuesday,
February 10, a motion would be
made to resume consideration of the
treaty in open senate. He spoke for
the .democratic senate leader, Sen
ator Hitchcock of Nebraska, who
was absent.
The announcement developed no
debate. A little later, however, the
senate was given a concrete reminder
of the amount of .oratory it already
had expended on the treaty.
3,000-Page Book.
Senator Smoot, republican, Utah,
exhibited a 3,000-page volume, con
taining 7,300,000 words on the sub
ject, spoken in the senate last sum
mer and fall.
Although a vote is -10 days away,
there were indications that the divi-
xne sailiaj Hires- or unn4nw"iw-ii f.
have obtained generally during the
treaty fight.
The first impulse of some of the
senate's irreconcilable foes was to
vote for the democratic motion on
the theory that more discussion
would arouse further public opposi
tion to ratification, while others of
the irreconcilables held to the posi
tion that the treaty was dead and
should be left dead.
Still Hope in "Talk."
Some of the mild reservation re
publicans were inclined to favor fur
ther debate as the only possible way
to ratification, but others believed
it' only would consume time that
should be devoted to legislation.
There have been intimations, too,
that a number of democrats would
prefer to try some other method of
private negotiation betorc reopening
debate.
It generally was predicted that it
the democratic move proved suc
cessful, as the party leaders said it
would, the line up behind it would
be a combination of democrats, mild
reservationists and irreconcilables.
Republican leaders talked over the
situation among themselves during
the day, but declined to make any
predictions about the outcome.
Want Two-Thirds Vote.,
v
It1 was indicated, however, that
the republican leaders would make
an effort to require a two-thirds ma
jority for bringing the treaty before
the senate. Under the rules, they
said, two-thirds would be neces
sary, but it was pointed out that
Vice President Marshall had held
throughout the treaty controversy
that a majority, could proceed as it
pleased with treaty consideration.
Should an appeal be taken from his
decision in this case, it was expected
that a majority would vote to up
hold him. v

SAYS BILL WILL
MAKE PRESIDENT
DICTATOR OF U. S.
Senator McKellar Alleges Re
Organization Measure Is
"Militarist!! Run Mad."
Washington, Jan. 31. The army
reorganization bill, with its compul
sory military training provision, re
ported by the senate military com
mittee, not only will cost the tax-
payers more man a uunun umiau
annually, but will result in "mili
tarism run mad, said a minoiiiy re
port i filed in the senate today by
Senator McKellar, democrat, t Ten
nessee. The report, which was concurred
in by Senator Sheppard, democrat,
Texas, said the measure would per
petuate the. president's war powers
and make him virtually a dictator in
peace times.
"The minority of the committee
submit," sad the report, "that the.
passage of this bill carrying ap
propriations which must come, will
be to institute in this country a
military system of the first order.
Indeed, it will be militarism run
mad, a militarism of the ultra Ger
man tvne. a militarism never
dreamed of by our forefathers, a
militarism that is wholly unneces
sary, a militarism that cannot be
defended, a militarism that is wholly
unjustified when we look at our his
tory and our future."
Estimates made by Chairman
Wadsworth that the fyll with the
compulsory military . training plan
would not cost more than approxi
mately $600,000,000 annually were
incorrect. Senators McKellar and
Sheppard said, declaring the mili
tary establishment wouio. more
nearly cost $1,162,072,000 annually.

Pershing Sentiment in

By E. C. SNYDER.
Wnslilncton Correiipondent of The Bee.
Washington. D. C, Jan. 31. (Spe

applications for poultices are daily

immune, with indications pointing
to an unprecedented list of "also

Coolidce for oresident this week,
the headquarters of the Massachu

bang, and others may be expected
to go the same way before June 1
rolls around
While a recent edict has gone
forth that "favorite sons" must not
be used to hold delegates, which may
have a deterrent effect upon some
incipient booms, one thing especially
noticeable in and about Washing

work for Senator Harding, Governor
Lowden and General Wood.
Pershing Boom Has Force.
Tn the oast few davs those who
try to keep in touch with republican
leaders here have been struck by the
number of active nartv men who
have been impressed with the force
of the Pershing candidacy. "If such
sentiment and support has developed

and repeated denials, and in spite of
a most active and thoroughly or
ganized and financed move in be
half of another military man said a
well known eastern republican, "what
might be expected from a thoroughly

push the Pershing candidacy."
Shortly after the Wood boom was
launched prophecies were frequently
heard to the effect that while the
friend of Roosevelt might be ex
pected to go like a rocket in view of
the organization and effort behind
him, he would surely come down

fact that Major General Francisco -Murguai,

of General Fortunate Zuazua. mili
tary commander in Tamaulipas, the
situation relative to Lieutenants E.
F. Davis and G. E. Grimes at Guer

men taken to Monterey for military
examination proved a surprise to
Lntted States army officers here.
The change of plans came when
officers here thought the return of
the two officers to American soil
was all but actually accomplished. j
General Murguia, according to in
formation here, was at Piedras Ne

and it was from there, it is assumed,
that he ordered Davis and Grimes

The only information received at
Fort Brown here today was from
General Zuazua and Major Flores,
the latter of Matamoros, who went
to Guerreror, opposite Zapata. Fri

came at 3 o'clock this afternoon and

No direct word has been received
