"Washington-, March 30.?The Senate
to-day completed the ratification of
the cycle of six treaties growing out
of the Conference for Limitation of
Armament. The nine Power treaty
relative to principles and policies con
cerning China was unanimously rati
fied with a vote of 65 to 0. The treaty
regarding Chinese tariffs was ratified |
by a vote of 68 to 1, Senator King
(Utah) casting the one dissenting vote, j
Senator Underwood (Ala.) dissipated j
charges made by some Senators that j
China had been hoodwinked and op
pressed by this treaty, which, it was
said, took away from her the right to
fix her own tariffs.
8cnator Underwood said the treaty ar- j
rangerrient made was at the request of j
the Chinese delegation and that in ad- i
dltion It was a contract agreement
which the Chinese could denounce at!
any time and assume full control of
their tariff. The Chinese, he said, did
not regard it expedient to assume the
responsibility now. A statement by
Senator Underwood that Senator King
did not understand the situation aroused
the Utah Senator, who attacked the
treaty and finally voted against it.
Victory for tndcrnooil.
Ratification is a victory for the Re- I
publican Administration and a personal 1
victory for Senator Cnderwood, Demo- I
era tic floor leader, who has been op
posed by the majority group of Senators |
on Ills own Bide of the chamber.
The four Power treaty was reported
to the Senate from the Foreign Rela- j
tiona Committee February 25, and j
within a little more than a month all !
of the treaties growing out of the con- i
f'*rence have been ratified in the face j
of spirited opposition on the part of
Democratic Senators and a small group j
of Irreconcilable Republicans.
The treaty with Japan growing out
of the Yap controversy and settling that j
i?sue was ratified in advance of the j
six conference treaties.
jflies', treaties are the four Power Pa- i
rlfic treaty, the supplemental, four'
Power treaty esxcludinsr the Japanese
mainland from Its provisions, the naval
limitation treaty, the. submarine and poi
son gas treaty and the two Chinese trea
ties ratified to-day?one declaring prin
ciples and policies relative to China,
which pledges the Powers to the policy
of the open door and to respect the po
litical and territorial integrity of China,
and the other Increasing Chinese tariffs
to 5 per cent, with provision for a further
increase later.
Senator Underwood during the debate
to-day explained he had charge of the
negotiations of the last treaty for the
American delegation and that he had
consulted every stop with the delega
tion. At one time it was ttiought an
agreement could not l>e reached, and he
was tirgea by these delegates to renew
hla efforts. He explained the temporary
saorftlce i?f sovereign power by a nation
was frequently made, either for ita own
good or for the good of the world. The
United States, he said, had done the
same thing in several Instances.
China Not Tied Down.
Urging that China has the right to
denounce this treaty at any time she
sees- fit. Senator Underwood claimed it
was merely a contract agreement which
did not have any definite time to run 1
The United States, he ?aid. had termi
nated similar agreements In the case of
reciprocity treaties, while the Jones hill,
authorizing the President to cancel trade
agreement" with foreign countries', was
an example in point.
Senator Underwood said he hoped for
the assumption of complete tariff au
tonomy by China at the quickest pos
sible moment. He pointed out that the
Senate, had within a year ratified a
separate tre?ty with China fixing the
rales to br charged on Apierlean goods
at a rate tuwef than that authorized In j
the prerent treaty. In view of that fact
he could see no reason why Senators |
should vote against this treaty.
"If this treaty Is not ratified." Sena-1
tor Underwood said, "CMna will he in a
worse position than before. Further
more, the present arrangement calls for
a lower duty on goods going Into China
overland from which France, Germany :
and Russia dative advantage (t I* well

Some members of the Senate who op
posed tr.w four power pact charged that.
!he Far Kastern treaty imposed a
"morai obligation" to take up army in 1
certain contingencies, but wei ,? told by !
the treaty supporters that It contained
no such obligation.

U. S. TO GET PROMISE
OF HELP TO COLLECT
COST OF RHINE ARMY
Allied Chancelleries Too Busy to Reply to Secretary
Hughes, but Forecast Shows Future Provision to
Be Made, Though Nothing From Past Ger
man Reparations.
Sprcial Cable to Tim New To?k Hbrai.Ii
<"opt/right, tots, by Tub New Yo?k Hiuld.
New York li'ralil Iturran. 1
Pari*. March SO. (
While the allied Chancelleries expect to be too busy in the immediate
future with preparations for the Genoa conference to reply to the note
of Secretary Hughes on the Rhine occupation costs, this is not saying
that a careful study has not already been given to the note by them. Ft
is now possible to formulate a forecast of the reply, the general form of
which will be decided upon after a conference between Charles de Lasteyrie.
French Finance Minister; Sir Robert Home, British Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and the Belgian Finance Minister.
The attitude of the Allies is that they hope America will permit them
J to distribute the cash reparations already made by Germany as they have
j agreed upon, but that in future payments in kind by Germany full provi
sion will be made for the American claim.
It already has been decided that the Allies will send a joint note
to Washington, which, according to a forecast given to The New York
Herald, of Paris by a leading govern-^
mental financial authority, will set
forth the following points:
First ? The principal of Ger
many's indebtedness to the United
States for the Rhine army occupa
tion costs will be admitted by the
allied governments and in conse
quence the Reparations Commis
sion will express willingness to aid
the United States in collecting its I
claims from Germany, especially ir^
the matter of payments in goods.
Second?That the no-called first ]
lien on Germany for the payment of 1
army occupation costs only applied
to the initial payment of 20,000,000,- j
000 marks, which by the London j
agreement was cut down to virtually
8,000,000,000, of which the billion in
question constituted the final pay- i
merit in cash. Therefore, payments j
since this first billion are held not to
be affected by the American demand
and are subject to distribution by i
the Reparation^ Commission.
'l'reniirn on 10i|Uiill(j,
Third?The Allies are disposed
juridically to give the Versailles and
Berlin treaties equality so far as
payments are concerned, but as the
Allies are working under the Ver
sailles Treaty and are enforcing
payments under it they will suggest
that the United States demand pay
ment under its own Berlin Treaty,
but with assurance froip the Allifs
that tl.ey will not take any ag
gressive attitude toward the Ameri
can policy. In other words, should
Germany maintain that she "can
only deliver goods in payment to a
certain amount, the apportionment
of this amount will be agroed upon
in a conference between the Allies
and the United Stated, the former
not insisting, as they contended at
first that they had the right to do,
that they have a prior lien on Ger
many's payments because of prior- j
ity of signature.
This is a notable change in position
from that taken immediately after
Rowland W. Boyden had presented the
Washington memorandum, when the
Finance Ministers seemed disposed to
quibble over the confusion caused by
the two treaties and to enforce their
alleged prior liens on everything that
Germany could pay, either in cash or
goods.
It should be noted, however, that the
Allies still are hoping for an interna
tional loan participated In by America
to take up A and B bonds, and holding
out the bait to America that If she
assists in floating the loan adequate
provision will be made to cover her
occupation claim.
Meanwhile America's participation
In the deliberations of the Repara
tions Commission is assuming more
and more Importance, as is indicated
by the fact that Mr. Boyden was dele
gated by the commission to preside
over a meeting of the delegates of the
smaller nations to discuss the dis
tribution of 9 per cent, of the repara
tions payments assigned to these
Powers and that Mr. Boyden for
mally repeated to them the American j
reservations regarding the distribu
tion of any reparations sums without
the consent of the I'nited States.
It i^ now obvious that America's
claims will be greatly facilitated an.l
satisfaction more quickly obtained if i
the I'nited States representative is |
made a full member of the commls- i
sion and that the Allies, far from Ob
jecting. would welcome such a step.
Attltndr of France.
The French attitude regarding th*
American claims is dearly indicated
in Finance Minister Laateyrle's speech
In the Senate when he said the allied :
Government* had never sought to dls- |
pute the American claim and that the
whole question is merely one of pro
cedure?whetner the American Gov
ernment should not have addressed
the claim directly to Germany rather
than to the Allies.
Kven should the payment to the1
Allies of the occupation costs be fur
ther tied up by the American claim,
the French will regard this as or
Rmall importance beside the larger
Issue of the total reparations and
whether thes,^ payments are to he in
ash or kind. M. Lasteyrie's warning
of the necessity of a French Internal
loan to cover advances made for tho
devastated regions on behalf of Ger
man payments having rfruck Franco
aghast.
It has presented the l?tie again to
all Frenchmen on the eve of impor
tant political development* in 'lurope
as to whether they must continue tn
advance these sums or lax tfiem*elve?
for the restoration of their ruitip for
which Germany has promised to pav

GOT DRAW IN FIGHT
New Version of 'Duel" With

Friend and Artist.

San Francisco, March 30.?Carmel,
home of writers and artists and of 0
lot of ordinary folk, who, however,
take a pergonal and intimate Interest
in the "Bohemian colony," as they call
it. is a town divided ugainst itself be
cause of the fistic duel of last Satur
day between Harry Leon Wilson, au
thor, 55 years old, and Theodore M
Criley, artist, 45 years old.
The population of the colony seems
evenly divided between " Wilsonlte?i"
and "Crileyites."' It has gone so far
since the writer and the artist got to- j
gether to settle their differen es with
fists that many Carmel residents <\r~
not speak to each other.
-V Carmel play morn than six months
ago started all the trouble between Wil
son and Criley. Wilson wrote the play
?"Pomander Walk" it was named?and
Mrs. Wilson took the Dart of the hero- j
ine. Criley wa-s the hero. Wilson and .
Criley were friends then. After the per- 1
formance they ceased to be.
According: to the best informed In !
Carmel?who are not afraid to talk for
publication providing their names are
not mentioned?Wilson thought, that
Criley's stage lovemaking was too real
istic. There was argument ajid counter
argument. Friendship ceascfl. Threads
of bodily harm were indulged in and the
whole thing came to a climax bqtdde the
Pacific Ocean in the early dawtv when,
by agreement, the two men met and
went at It according to their Ideas of 1
Queensberry rules. Wilson Is heavier
than Criley. but the difference in weight
was more than made up by the differ- ;
ence in years. Both men are said to be j
in the pink of condition for their ages.
From the most authentic sources It Is
learned tho fight was more or less of a
draw. Tn the early mom on an ocean
cliff outside of Carmel there are not
tr.any people. The fight had not been
advertised. The two min who wit
nessed It. somewhat as seconds wit- |
ness a regular duel, are not talk- i
Ing about the battle part of It. But
both contestants were somewhat bruiser)
and n draw would have hern declared
had the bout been nulled off In ouhlic.
The principal trouble seems to be. ac
cording to Carmel folkd. not a fist fiaht
between an artist and a writer but the
fact that the fight hasn't settled any
thing. The men appear to be still bitter
| enemies. ' Living not ,far from ??sch
! other and about six mile" outside of
Carmel, Criley. It Is stated. Is afraid
Wilson is going to carry*the w?' riab:
into his camp. Wilsonltes at Carmel say
this is all nonsense and that Wllaon

A challenge was issued, the story run?.

respectively to the Canaries and then ;
to the Cape Verde Island while the
last stage of their contemplated flight j
to the Brazilian coast Is near 1600
