Four Power Pact Now on Passage Amendments Defeated and First Two Articles Adopted in Committee of the Whole By the Senate (ASSOCIATED PRESS) WASHINGTON, March 23 The senate tonight concluded its debate on the Quadruple Treaty amidst bursts or oratorical fireworks that were scarcely surpassed in the days of the fight against the Versailles treaty but apparently without the change of one vote. Administration senators esti mate a margin of three to ten votes over the requisite two thirds, depend ing upon how many of he opponents of the treaty change over when they finally recognize the hopelessness of their fight against ratification. Lafollette introduced six amend ments in the course of the day provid ing among other things that the treaty may be abrogated upon a year's notice; that there shall be no separate agreements among the signatories pre judicial to the terms of the treaty; that the Anglo-Japanese alliance shall not be renewed during the life of the treaty; that signatories shall respect the independence of the Philippine Is lands when it is attained. About a dozen amendments to the treaty or reservations upon it are pending but the administration forces are confident of their ability to-defeat all of them except the reservation pro posed by the commitee on foreign re lations that "no alliance" is constitut ed under the terms of the treaty. Such reservation has the approval of the administration.

March 23 Nomina tion of E. C. Peters to be chief lust ice and Antonio Perry to be associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Ha waii Territory was sent to the senate by the President today. In some circles it had been expect ed that all of the judicial appoint ments for Hawaii, where terms have expired, would be made at one time by the President and thus there was some surprise that the nomination of D. H. Case for justice in this circuit was not sent to the senate. Mr Case has the endorsement of the bar association and the county ml territorial committees and his appointment is. considered a certain ty. It appears probable that the ap poinment of other than the supreme court justices were held back that they may be made together. Peters succeeds J. L. Coke Perry succeeds S. B.

VOTE FOR ONE ONLY KOHO NO HOOKAHI Kalama Forecasts 5000Majority Drops Mantle of Reticence and Says Baldwin Will be Easy Victor if Voters go to Polls Tomorrow Usually noncommittal before an election Sam E. Kalama has depart ed from his habits of reticence this year. He is outspoken in his confid ence. Ho forecasts victory for the Maui candidate by a clear majority over all of 5000 votes. Kalama went on through on liana on the Kilauea on Tuesday and re turned on that boat to Kahului and I then proceeded up to Wailuku. In the I County Clerk's office that afternoon he made the forecast.

"On Kauai they are talking about a 500 majority for Baldwin. On Oahu the Fourth will be strongly Republican as ever and it is even being figured that Baldwin will carry the Fifth. Reports from Hawaii are good. too. It's not a question of beating McCandless but of beating all the other three candi dates combined."
