-—
Washing ton March 21—The twen- j
ty-four-hour sensation over ire ca
tion. of a secret Britiah-Amerkan ce
oporatlvu “understanding" suddenly
flickered out today in the Senate.
A aucceeeion of forma! denials,
cmaaiating from source* that ranged
from tht White House down, show
ered in upon opponent* of the ‘oar
power Pacific treaty as they were
preparing to a*k for a formal inves
tigation and apparently put en end
to tht whole incident.
Avalanche *f Denial.
At the White Home officials said
flatly that no secret agrseaoent of
the character suggested existed. Sec
retary Hughes, la a lattrr read ia
the Senate, characterised the seg
XTStion a* “absolutely false "
Paul D. Cravath the New York at- I
torn./ whose statement started thr !
roes, sent a telegram saying ha had
been im errectly quoted and had no
knowied.ee of any “aorret undsr
standiae “
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho '
eh# presented the Crarath statement j
to the Senate yesterday, ceatewted
MawU with saying that what be
read waa a stenographic transcript at
Cravaih’3 rrnirti, end that the ex
planation near made would not be ac
cepted in aay court. No Ui rose to
defend the Now York attorney and
the diacuaaion drifted to ether lines of
the treaty light.
■ 'itwAulfsi ofT^TfiSPj
coneilsbles to neelc, the incident the
baeia for a fight to aend the treaty
back to committee apparently had
been abandoned tonight. Soma Sena
tors, however. Indicated that they
felt a motion to recommit should be
made as a matter of fionn, and R
was generally predicted such a step'
wosld be taken before the ratifica
tion vote is reached on Friday. Ad
ministration leaders say they era cer
tain to defeat the motion overwheba
ingly.
Mr. Hughes wasted no words in
denying tbv existence of any “secret
notes or understandings" with any
foreign power, but he concluded his
five sentence letter with a hope "that
the American delegates will he saved
further aspersions upon their veracity
and honor.” In the debate which fol
lowed there was net a single refer
nee to the letter or to the Secre
tary.
General Diacaaslea
Once the storm stalled by Sena
tor Borah’s utterances of yesterday
had blewn ewer, general discussion
proceeded throughout the day with
very little give and take arguments
mixed with the aueeemion of long
addresses. Senator Rdge, Republican,
New Jersey, aad Senator Poindexter,
Republican. Washington, spoke In
favor of the treaty, and Senator
Watson, Democrat, Georgia, assailed

Stacey W. Wadr, Insurance Com
mit-doner of North Caroline, baa ad
drrsard the following letter to the
Chamber of Commerce end the chr
!ca department of the Wonw'i Chib
of Dunn. At a meeting of reprmsa
tativoe of thoie organisation; bald
yesterday it was decided to ghre Dann
a thorough cleaning nest week and
plana art being made to make the
rm
Dispatch. The letter follows:
We are calling your attention tr
a subject seldom re'vrred to in but1
nose, but one of great importance to
yoa and your household :
Truth
Our State, along with her othei
troubles, last year had a tremendous
fire lose- about eight million dollar'
—and while we stood low In a umbel
of Urea from moat causes, the flnx
caused by trash ware mare than am'
proportionals part, or about $900,
000. A little trip through the bum*
nose district of our city,-including the
back yards and alloys, wiU show yo
why—that debris tnvuriubly ever
flows from the inside.
May we depend upon you for ser
vice during tbs week of March *7-31
in doing away with the major portion
of this great menace? This la the
week generally adopted throughout
the State aa claaa-up waek, and w»
Irmly believe that a word from you
to polar associates would do a grsal
deal toward aero ring the removal of
trash so as to avoid a possible con
flagration.
Wo are writing to all mu.-xidpa'
authorities asking their eo-operation
to the extent of furnishing free
transportation for all trash put where
the wagons, trucks and carta can
get it. Wo are going te have a real
damn-up week, and you can be of
great eerviee If yea wiU.
