Senator Borah
k tWins Victory in
' Navy Bill Fight
Senate Adopts Amendment to
Measure Providing for Dis
armament Negotiations "With
Great Britain and Japan.
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
tliirafo Tribune-Omaha Bee leaned Wire.
t Washington, March 2. Following
a sensational discussion yesterday
of the Japanese menace in the
tirst secret legislative session i:i
many years, the senate shortly bc
1orc midnight, unanimously adopted
an amendment to the naval appro
priation bill, providing for negotia
tions with Great Britain and japan
tor reduction of naval armament.
Although Republican Leader
Lodge and other strong navy sena
tors exprescd the opinion in the se
cret session that a naval reduction
agreement with Japan would not be
worth the paper it wa9 written on,
there were no voles against Senator
Edge's amendment to undertake the
negotiations with Great Britain and
Japan.
Favorable action on the amend
ment, however, was made .possible
only when Senator Edge consented
to the elimination of France and
Italy and the land armament ques
tion from the proposition. It was
the prevailing opinion that the pros
pects of obtaining reduction of naval
armament by agreement would be
embarrassed by dragging in the
question of army restriction.
Reject Walsh Amendment.
Previously the natc rejected by a
vote of 26 to 30, the Walsh amend
ment to send delegates to the league
of nations disarmament conference.
On this Vote the senate divided on
party line;,'' the negative majority
consisting of 29 republicans and Sen
ator Smith ,of Georgia, democrat.
The tet of the Edge amendment,
practically the same as the Borah
amendment, was:
"The president is authorized and
requested, if not incompatible with
the public interest, to invite the gov
ernments of Great Britain and Japan
to send representatives to a confer
ence which will be charged with the
duty of promptly entering into a pro
posed understanding or agreement by
which the naval building program of
each of said governments, towit, the.
United States. Great Britain and
Japan, shall be substantially reduced
annually during the next five years,
to such an extent and upon such
terms as may be agreed upon, which
conclusion or agreement is to be re
ported to the respective governments
for their approval."

Washington Warming'Up
To Inauguration Plans
National Capital Recovering From Chill Cast When
Harding Vetoes Scheme for Elaborate Cere
monies Visitors From All Parts of World
Flocking to City for March 4.
Chleag Tribune-Omaha Br Leaied Wirn,
Washington, March 2. With the
day approaching for the inaugura
tion of Warren G. Harding as pres
ident of the United States, the na
tional capital has completed recov
ered from the chill sustained when
Mr. Harding decreed that plans for
a celebration on an unprecedented
elaborate scale should be abandoned.
Despite the simplicity of the cere
monies that arc to attend Mr. Hard
ing's induction, the capital public at
first inclined to be disappointed over
the decision for a quiet inaugural,
finds that Washington nevertheless
is filling with visitors from all parts
of the nation and the world, that
there really is going to be an occa-
sion of great moment well worth
attending and the city has warmed
up to it in old-time form.
On every hand there is evidence of
voluntary preparation to make the
day a notable one. From a social
side the occasion 'promises to be
nearly as gay as it would have been
with the great inaugural ball, for
there are to be numberless recep
tions of importance and a charity
ball which will take the place of the
abandoned inaugural ball will be a
great affair to bring the day to an
appropriate social climax.
Coolidges Center of Interest.
Vice President-elect Coolidge and
Mrs. Coolidge, who arrived in
Washington Monday evening, were
yesterday the center of interest in the
inauguration preliminaries. Together
they enjoyed the privilege of being
taken for the movies at their hotel
and Mrs. Coolidge was initiated into
the allurements of Washington's
shopping district.
Among the members of the Hard
ing cabinet who have arrived in
Washington are former Senator John
WT. Weeks of Massachusscts. who is
to be secretary of war, and Will
Building Prices
At Low Point Now, j
Speaker Asserts!
Chamber of Commerce Secre-!
tary Declares no ISced of
Delay in Starting Build-1
ing Program.
Delay in erecting buildings has no
justifiable reason. Harry E. Moss,
secretary of the Nebraska Chambir
of Commerce, declared Tuesday night
when he spoke on "WhyAVc Should
Build Now" at the annual banquet of
the Omaha Builders' exchange in. the
Blackstone hotel.
William Redgwick. president, in
troduced F. XV. Curry as toastmaster.
Selwyn Jacobs led community sing
ing. More than ZW attended tlie
banquet. I he first Omaha building
show in the Auditorium April 18 to
23-was discussed. Members of the
entertainment committee were Ed
ward Kraus, Rodman M. Brown,
Harrv A. Koch, Frank R. Vierling, .
Otis II. Warren and vl Bloom.
Speaking to the builders m par
ticular and to all business men and
workers in general. Mr. Moss said:
"Take your individual responsi
bility and render your personal
measure of service in helping to
s,clve the problems which are press
icg for solution. If we all do this,
then our country will continue to
lead and control the world."
Country Needs Homes.
.Speaking lfiore directly on the
subject of home "' building. he as
serted that this country has expe
rienced much industrial financing
during the last few years, but he
argued that more should have been
invested in home building, because
more homgs .is the crying need of
the country at this time. '
He stated that the general short
age of homes is having a depressing
effect on the morale of the country,
a situation which is undermining
some of the ideals of the country.
An estimated shortage of 2,000.000
homes was noted and the speaker
said that a home-building program
of 3,000,000 dwellings would be
necessary 'in the next five years to
correct the abuses of this situation.
Mr. Moss stated that one of the
problems arises out of the fact that
more than half of the populationn
is of the tenant class, which makes
the matter finnancing home
building a question of vast impor
tance. Prices at Bottom.
"If the people could be convinced
that materials and labor are at the
bottom, building operations would
be stimulated tomorrow," he said.
"Lumber, no doubt, has reached the
bottom. . The contemplative builder
is asking whether materials are at
the bottom. If they are not, then
pressure should be brought to bear
by such organizations as this. I am
convinced that if a building program
should be started we would see a
tightening market in lumber, with
possibly some slight advances in
certain lines.
"It is believed there will be a
tremendous demand for cement and
brick for road building this year
and this will invoke the old law of
supply and demand. The man vho is
contemplating building this year will
make no mistake. Every day we de
fer building means that we, merely
are spiking our guns for lower prices
and thus we will be complicating
the situation. I am convinced that
the man who builds in 1921 will
build as cheaply as he will be able
to do at any time within the next
10 years."

with Secretary of War Baker for sev
eral pays, discussing with h:m the
routine'of running the War depart
ment and getting a line on the inside
of the bureau, preparatory to taking
over the oflice next Saturday.
The present secretary and his suc
cessor have had luncheon together

war oflice and their exchanges on the
subject of operating the department
have occurred ovrr the coffee cups.
Meetings Enjoyable.
"My meetings with the new secre
tary of war," said Mr. Baker today,
"have been very enjoyable. We
have agreed that Mr. Weeks shall
come in Saturday morning to take
over the office. At that time I vill
introduce the new secretary to the
army officers, in the department and
I shall take pleasure also in present
ing him to the press, thus to give
him a good start."
Mr. Hays chuckled over the fact
that he had spent the entire day
last Friday with Postmaster Gen
eral Burles,on at the Postoffice de
partment, going over the ropes that
it will be his job to pull for the next
forces, and was undiscovered in the
act by the newspapers.
"I managed to have an all-day con
ference with the postmaster gen
eral," said Mr. Hays, "and not a
newspaper printed a line about it.
I have arranged with the post
master general to take charge of the
department next Saturday afternoon."

plans for the- development of the
postal service which will be an
nounced in the near future. The new

In a bill introduced in the legisla

Mr. Everett would make it a fel

President Makes
Room for Tumulty
On Water Project
Demands Resignation of
Chairman Gardner of In
ternational Joint Commission.
Chiraco Tribune-Oinnha Be I-eaed Wire.
Washington, March 2. President
Wilson's precipitated eleventh hour
action to provide a public berth for
his secretary, Joseph P. Tumulty, was
revealed today as an extraodinary
proceeding endangering the success
ful issue of the St. Lawrence ocean
ship canal project, of vital impor
ance to the middle west
To make a place for Tumulty at a
salary of '$7,500 a year and accomp
lish his purpose in the few remain
ing days of his power the president
caused the abrupt dismissal of Oba
diah Gardner, chairman of the inter
national joint commission which has
jurisdiction of the questions pertain
ing to the boundary waters of Can
ada and the United States.
Resignation Asked For.
"Chairman Gardner, who is a dem
ocrat and formerly a senator from
Maine, was asked by Secretary of
State Colby, at the instance of thy
president, to resign at once from
the commission of which he has been
a member since 1913 When Mr.
Gardner protested that such precipi
tated action would gravely embarrass
the United States in pending nego
tiations with Canada and masked to
be allowed to complete pending
work before retiring, Mr. Colby
wrote him that his resignation was
accepted, to take effect at once. Mr.
Gardner- who is in Ottawa, wired
friendsoday he had not resigned.
Favor Project.
Both Mr. Gardner and former
Senator Clareucc D. Clark, republi
can, the other member of the com
mission at present, are strongly in
favor of the St. Lawrence canal pro
ject, which would connect the Great
Lakes with the Atlantic ocean by a
waterway navigable by ocean ships
and afford a direct outlet for the
grain and other products of the middle-west,
into the channels of for
eign trade without trans-shipment of
cargoes from railroad to vessel at
New York and other eastern ports.
Expected to Fight Plan.
New York and New Jersey, fear
ing the loss of vast export business
if the St. Lawrence canal should
be constructed, have fougfct the
project tooth and; nail. New , York
and New Jersey presumably will
count upon Tumulty, who hails from
New Jersey,- to oppose the project.
Certainly he could favor it orrty by
resisting the great pressure" that
would be brought to bear upon him
from his constituency.

Traction System to

i 1 '.
New York March 2. A real bat-J
tie over' Governor Miller's pro
gram for a' state-controlled "trac-1

he fonirht in AlSativ tomorrow, when
lie legislature's judiciary commit
tee will hold a hearing on a' bill
designed to empower a, stale public
service commission to allow trans
portation companies to increase!

The argument probably will hinge
on whether a state can constitu
tionally intervene and alter a con
tract between a. city government and
traction companies.
The' fight over how1 to furnish
transportation for this city's 6,000,
000 inhabitants, with an additional
floating population estimated at
600,000, has been smouldering' for
more than three years. The bill now

ment by the governor of a state pub

to- investigate traction problems and
to fix rates of fare, if the economic
problems warrant a change of fare.

Washington, March 2. Seated be
fore the memb-srs of the cabinet in
the farewell session at the White
House, President Wilson yesterday
afternoon, delivered his valedictory.
With glistening- eyes which looked
into equally moist ones, he said
goqdby to each, thanking them for
the service that th'ey had given to
"him, the country and humanity."
Secretary of State Brainbridge
Colby acted as spokesman for the
cabinet officers. Three of them,
Secretary of Navy Daniels, Secretary
oi , Labor W;ilson and Postmaster
General Burleson, have served
throughout the eight years of the
democratic administration. The
president was presented 'with the
chair in which he has presided over
cabinet sessions.
Colby Was Speaker.
Secretary of (he Treasury Itous
tonwas the only, one to reach the
cabinet room1: ahead of President
Wilson. Within a few-minutes ithej
president appeared, walking very
slowly and relying to a great extent'
upon his cane. , He was at once -assisted
to'his chair at the head of the
cabinet table., to await the other
members of the 'official, family. - .1
When official matters, among
them presumably the question: of
whether or not the foreign loan data
was of such a secret nature as -to
prevent its being furnished the sen
ate were disposed of, thf fareweils
were' staged. . .
Mr. Colby made his speech in
behalf of himself and colleagues and
the president . made a brief reply.
Then one by one the cabinet of
ficers shook hands with their chief,
some of them getting the presi
dent's autograph' on their picture
taken at the last meeting.
After' the cabinet officers had left
preparations were made for the pres
ident's last walk from the offices to
thi White House. The whole execu
tive force stood in sjlence watching
him gamely make his way through
the executive mansion grounds.
Also Saw Francis, j
Walking on level ground, he
needed no assistance other than his
cane, and would take no other. When
steps were to be negotiated he ac
cepted the aid of his personal attend
ant, Major Brooks, and the chief of
the secret service squad, Richard
Jarvis, he made the entire trip with
out a glance to one side or the other.
Among the visitors at the execu
tive offices during the memorable day
was David K. Francis, ambassador to
Russia,who has been in this country
since the Kercnsky government fell.
He stated that he was there to sub

Chicago. March 2. An inquest in
to the death of Herbert Zeigler,
automobile tire agency ' manager,
shot to death by Mrs. Isabelle Cora
Orthwein, after he had broken into
her apartment, was begun but con
tinued indefinitely after a few wit
nesses had been heard. Mrs. Orth

club, and that O'Connor named
Orthwein, then part owner of the
club, as corespondent when he .di

and later they were divorced.
The police said an investigation of
Mrs. Orthwein's apartment bore out
the statements that Zeigler forced
his way in.

BADGER
A Careless Helper.
Stopping often to listen, Benny
Badger did not reach the Ground
' JJennu looked at it
Squirrel's chamber half as quickly
as he could have had he done nothing
but dig.
And when he thrust his ose into
the underground bedroom he found
nobody at home. The Ground Squir
rel had fled, leaving -his nest so
warm that Benny Badger knew he
could not have been gone long.
Benny turned away. But he was
not . so disappointed as he might
have been, for he remembered that
Mr. Coyote was watching the back
door. And certainly no Ground
Squirrel could escape his sharp eyes.
Hurrying as fast as his short legs
would carry him, Benny joined Mr.
Coyote, who still sat comfortably
on his haunches.
To Benny's surprise, his helper's
eyes were closed, instead of being
fixed on the Ground Squirrel's back
door.
"Have you seen anything of the
Ground Squirrel:" Benny demanded
anxiously. . ' ''
Mr. Coyote' started, and opened
his eyes.
"Somebody came out a few mo
ments, ago," he replied. "But he dis
appeared in no time."
"That's too bad!'; Benny Badger
wailed. "He got avay !"
"Are you sure?" Mr. Coyote in
quired. .
"Why. yes!" Benny cried. 'It's as
plain as the nose on your face."
"I von't dispute you," said Mr.
Covotc.
"ou'd better not!" Benny Eadger
snapped. "You have been very care
less. 1 don't believe you watched
carefully enough. When' I came up
just now you had. your eves shut."
"I w'on't dispute you," said Mr.
Coyote again. He Mas most politc-v-so
polite, in fact, that Benny Badger
was ashamed to appear -. rude or
quarrelsome.
But Beniiy couldn't help being,
disappointed over losing the Ground
Squirrel. And when, after he had
dug to the end of three more tun
nels that night, ..'the 'same accident
happened three, times more, he de
cided" that something would have to
he done. It was clear tliat Mr.
Coyote's eyes were not sharp
enough. He was not nearly so help
ful as Bennr had expected him to
he. "We'll have to change about,"
Benny announced at last. "You
mnst die while I watch."
But Mr.' Coyote promptly made a
number of objections" to that ulan.
Ht said, with something ouite Jike a
sneer, that he had much sharper
eyes than any member of the Badger
f.tmilv that ever lived, and that he
was quicker, than a hundred Badgers j
put ..together. And z if. he hadn t
given reasons enough for disagree
ing with .Benny, he declared that he
simoly couldn't do any digging that
mVht because he had a spre paw.
To prove his statement, Mr
Coyote held up one of his paws for
Benny to see.
Benny looked at it. He couldn't
discover that it was .any', different
from Mr. Coyote's three remaining
paws.- And he had just started to
say so. too, when Mr. Coyote inter
runted him with an enormous yawn.
"I'm getting sleepv." Mr. Coyote
remarked. "It will he davlight be
fore we know it. And I'm going
"home to take a nap.
So savine. he sprans; up ' and
stretched himself. A,nd then he
trotted off. But he stopped before
he had pone far and looked back at
Bennv Badger.
"I'll be on hand to help you agam
after sunset." he said.

Ask the Wife About It.
You may think you have the real
spirit of good fellowship because you
ask some boarding friend or friends
to come to your home for Sunday
dinner; but how about consulting
your wife beforehand?
You, think if you tell her by Sat
urday1 night' or" Sunday morning it
is time enough for her to know it.
-This is not. a square' deal for the
little wife.
One more persons, more or less,
when it is someone outside the fam
ily circle does make a great deal of
difference to your wife.
jshe wants' your home o'present
its best possible appearance to your
friends and sh?-wants the meals to
be a credit to "her and she would
like to plan the work so that she will
not be too tired to make a pleasing
vhostess.
To gain such results she should
know in advance that you are go
ing to have guests.
In some homrs the Sunday din
ner is planned expressly with the
idea of being ready for the one or
ones who may be invited, as cir
cumstances dictate, or who drops in
unexpectedly.
, It is a pretty custom,but cer
tainly your wife .has something to
say about whether it is convenient
for you to take friends home with
you Sunday- or any' other- day.

Graham may be changed. Un
less sections relating to Armistice

its province iri attempting to criti
cise and condemn fighting orders of
General Pershing.
There is scant possibility of action
by the house on the report.
A table was presented showing
3,912 total casualties, on Armistice
day, including 2C8 killed and 2,769
