Pact to Foreign Eelations Committee. NEW REJECTION DANGER If Amended, Germany, ,It la Said, Would Ilavo to Pass on Shantung Disposal. Special DfTjxdcK to Tna 8uM. Washington, Aug. 16. Two devel opments of lmportanco In the League of Nations and peace treaty fight oc- curred The first was the adop- tion of a new plan of campaign by the group following a confer- ence between tho President and Sena- tor Hitchcock (Neb.). Tho second was tiiat the President unexpectedly not enly assented to the lifting of the ban of secrecy on the exchanges between the President and the Foreign Rela-tlc- Committee but suggested that stenographers be present and the ver- batim report of the conference bo given to the newspapers. The Administration sympathizers are to put aside all thought of reservations for the time being and concentrate their Are against Senatorial forces de- manding amendments to the peace treaty. Only two amendments are se rlously demanded, one affecting Shan tung and Its cession to Japan by the terms of thetrcaty and the other on the proposal, that representation be Ejven to the United B,taUa jn the pro- posed IcagUe equal no that given to Great Britain and Its autonomous col onies. This view was presepted to the Pres ident this afternoon by 8ena.tor.Hltch cock and tho Presidont assured him that he felt It was \eminently cor- rect.\ nifehcoek to Lead Campaign. As a result of the conference Sena- tor Hitchcock will make a speech in the Senate next week with the pri- mary purpose of pointing out the harm which It Is asserted would' be done to the United States 'through, amending the peace treaty in any way. It was learned on excellent authority following the conference', however, that the Administration is practically recon- ciled to the view that reservations will have to be included In the resolution of ratification oven It amendments are not actually made to the text of the treaty and the league covenant. The view affecting amendments which Senator Hitchcock will endeavor to im press on the Senate and country Is that any amendment to tno treaty win mane it necessary not only for all of the allied Powers to agree to the change but for Germany to do so as well. While this Is going on the United States still will be technically at war with Germany, and Senator Hitchcock will emphasize and wllf lay stress on the assertion that this will be playing Into Germany's nanas. By amending the treaty the Adminis- tration's new plan of fighting for it will assert and emphasize Germany will put America In the position of coming to ner with her hat In her hand asking uer man agreement to amendments In the treaty. Germany, the argument will run, having been practically forced to sign the present treaty, will be In a posi- tion to refuse If chooses, thus prac- tically escaping all obligation to the United States and leaving the Unljed States out of representation on the Keparatlons Commission. Talk of Xcsotlatlnr XfW Treaty It was learned to-d- on Indisputable authority that the President threatened in case the treaty Is amended to send Senator Lodge (Mass.) or Senator Knox (Pa.) to Berlin to negotiate a new treaty. The Administration forces are so con- cerned over the question of amendments to the treaty that they are willing to forego all thought of reservations for the time being. Senator Hitchcock ad- mitted to The Suk that any reserva- tions which amounted to anything, would require the assent of the Allies and of Germany Just as certainly as would amendments to the text of the treaty. Mr. Hitchcock made It plain that he end tho President expected the Foreign llelatlons Committee to report the treaty to the Senate with material amend- ments. There the Administration Is re- serving Its fire on the question of amend- ment for the Senate Itself, rather than try to sway the opinions of the com- mittee. This, with the continual growth ot anti-leag- sentiment, is responsible for the desire for haste by the commit- tee In getting the treaty before the Sen- ate for its consideration. Despite the fact that more witnesses have been summoned by the Foreign Ttelations Committee. Renator Hitchcock appeared confident to-d- that the treaty would be out of committee and In the Senate before the end of a fortnight Meanwhile, however, tho Republican majority on the committee is going terently ahead with plans to hear ta to try to ascertain better than It Conltnurd os Eighth Page. U. S. BACKDOWN ON HUNGARY IS SEEN IN PARIS Mildness of Allied Reply \Edited\ by Polk Is Ob- ject of Criticism. AMERICANS MAKE DENIAL Expect Order to Rumanians to Get Ont to Follow Com- mission Report. By LAVKEKCE MILLS. Staff corretpondtnt of Tns Sox. CopvrlgM, 1911, all riohta reserwi. Paris, Aug. 15. Despite the impres sion created here and emphasized in the French newspapers that the Amer- icana have executed a turnabout In regard, to the Rumanian situation, as is indicated In tho answer of the Peace Conference to tho Rumanian note. It la stoutly affirmed In American circles y that there has been no change In the American attitude, because tho final determination of the whole ques- tion involved in the Rumanian occupa tion of Budapest awaits the report of the commission pent there by the Allies. Notwithstanding this the tendency Is to regard the Rumanians as having won a diplomatic victory', yesterday's mild answer from tho Allies belngon-traate- d with the tenor of their pre vious communication,-!- . This note is ascribed to Foreign Minister Balfour and is believed to have been edited largely by Under Secretary Polk. The points emphasized y In American circles are tho following: First The Peace Conference is satisfied that the Rumanian army never received he order to halt be- fore \ reaching Budapest, -- which somowhat changed the situation. Second That while the Ruman- ian occupation is accepted for the moment as a fact accomplished, the conference has not sanctioned of- ficially Its continuance but has pointed out to the Rumanians that its decision on this question will be determined by the report of the Allies commission. ThirdThe Allies declare also that they stand united against tho principle advanced by the Rumani- ans that the breaking of the armi- stice by the Hungarians entitled tho Rumanians to advance and to re- claim the loot taken by Field Mar- shal von Mackensen In the con- quest of Rumania. Even the French now recognize the danger of allow- ing such action, which is likely to encourage other nations to follow tho same procedure. Consequently this point remains to be fought out with Rumania. Fourth That the Peace Confer- ence has decided not .to recognize tho Government set up in Rumania by the Archdulte Joseph, Premier Clemenceau having received warn- ing from the Socialists that they would attempt to overthrow him If a Hapsburg should be restored. It is believed also that a coalition Government will be formed soon which will oust Archduke Joseph. The Americans believe that when the report of the commission now in Budapest has been received a majority will be In favor of ordering the Ru- manians to leavo Hungary imme diately, provided that they think order can be maintained. This will bring up the main issue, which Is whether the Rumanians will actually ooey tne orders of the Peace Conference to th(r cxtcn,t of leaving what their army has taken and readjusting the matter of suDUlles which they claim to be theirs, In this issup the whole future ot the power of the Peace Conference is Involved, but up to the present time moral victory plainly rests with the Rumanians. RUMANIA SATISFIED WITH ALLIES' REPLY Commission to Discuss All Moot Questions. Bv tin Attoeiatci Prru. Paris, Aug. IS. Full satisfaction Is given Rumania In regard to the exercise of authority at Budapest In the reply made by the Supreme Council to the Rumanian note, according to the Temps. The commission of four allied Gen- erals at Budapest, the Bupreme Coun- cil's answer was said to have stated, will deliver the peace conference's Instruc-tldn- s to Rumanian civil, commissary and military command's at Budapest, and these Rumanian commands will be charged with the execution of these di- rections. An agreement concerning the disposi- tion of all the material taken In Hun- gary by the Rumanians, according to the newspaper, will be reached by the Itu- -. manlan Government and the Allies.

Tho amount of costs that Henry Ford may re- ceive from the Chicago Daily Tribune, in addition to the six cents damages awarded him last night by a jury, which heard his libel suit against the Chicago newspaper, will not exceed $50. Under a Michigan law where nominal damages are awarded, not moro than $50 costs can be assessed against the losing party. Alfred Lucking, senior counsel for Mr. Ford, said this morning that little attention had been given to the matter of costs and that until hxi had looked up tho law covering the case, he could not say how much the plaintiff could expect to receive. Among other attorneys, however, tho opinion was held that in cases where damages awarded amount to less than $50, the costs col- lectible may not oxcecd the judg- ment awarded. In this event, Mr. Ford could demand only six cents costs from the Tribune. BLAME U.S. FOR TURKEY'S CHAOS Allies Point to Wilson's Un- fulfilled Promise as Canso of Muddle.

A' V I lhe Peace Conference the effect IS rather disquieting. The Young Turk revolution, for which tho stage al ready has been set. Is threatening to reestablish the power of the Commlt- - ten of Union and Progress and to over- throw the present pro-Al- ly Govern- ment and to complicate the Turkish, situation into one colossal muddle ot chaos and disorder. Diplomatic advices received by the Peace Conference say that Mustapha Kemal, chief of the revolutionaries, has transferred the Erzeroum National As. aembly to Slrwas and virtually set up a government there. Ills army Is said to be gathering new strength dally. His latest adherents are officers of the old Teutonlzcd army regime, among them Gen. Halll Pasha, uncle of Enver Pasha, who early this week escaped from prison to Asia Minor, where he' Joined Kemal. tirand Vizier Helpless. In the face of the Intrigues ar.d ex- ploits of the new revolutionary part.\ the present Government Is finding, ltsel. helpless and tho Grand VUlcr 'Is re- ported to be at the end of his resources and doubtful of his own ability to re- main In- - power. Corruption has spread even to the court, and the heir apparent seems to have allowed himself to be compromised by relations with the Unionists, tho latter evidently seeking to obtain his support as the successor to the sultanate. Kemal now Is circulating his national- ist programme, which he says the As- - kembly at Slrwas will ratify soon. Fol- lowing are tho principal points of his programme : 1. Respect for the crown of ths Khallfate. 2. Complete Independence for Tur- key. 3. No cession of Anatolian terri tory in favor or any State, especially. not to the Armenians. 4. No foreign control or mandates. 5. Freedom In foreign polloy. 6. Guarantee of rights of minor- ities. Kemal points out that his programme contains no hostile Intentions toward the Allies, but that he Is ready to back up with all the force that he can muster anv resistance to his doIIcv of banc off ' . J.\ ni!ht aea'nst tolls. United States Blamed, As regards mandates, Kemal asserts that Turkey has an Independent spirit and no foreign control is desired, but there is no objection to \collaboration\ under the guarantee of the League ot Nations. For, this state of affairs, which has awakened the Turks to annatlonallattc and religious uprising, Iurope points an incriminating finger at the United States. European diplomacy leng since dismissed the illusion based on President's Wil- son's promise of an answer from the United States regarding Turkey \within ono month\ of effective Intervention by tin- - Allies in Turkey. The affairs of the Ottoman Empire ap- pear to be doomed to the same fate as the antiquated Busslan question as a result of this neglect Several of the French newspapers publish desperate editorials this morning demanding hov Jong this error maklng.ls to continue. ACTORS TO GET NEW CONTRACT LIKE EQUITY'S i Sothern's Neutral Delega- tion Patches Up Truce With Managers. ARBITRATION IN SIGHT Untermyer, Who Owns Half of Two Theatres, Sides \With Players Demands. Following, a peace mission- - under- taken by E. H. Sothern's trained band of mediators the way was paved yes- terday for a break In the deadlock that has been turning Broadway for a week Into a theatrical No Man's Land. The Producing Managers Associa- tion, following a conference with Mr. Sothern's armistice commission, which disclaimed ofllclal connection with either side, decided to offer to the striking actors a contract modelled on tho lines of the Equity instrument. It was not to be called, however, the con- tract of the Actors Equity Associa- tion, which Samuel Untermyer, ap- pointed chief counsel yesterday for the Equity, had declared the actors were justified In breaking during the strike because crs repudiated the arbitration clause.. The managers re- solved yesterday to ofTer the olive branch of arbitration with a board which it was possible for the Equity to help choose. Though no formal statement wasiss- ued by tho P. M. A. immediately after the conference, Arthur Ilopklne, rrho has acted as herald for the' managers ' In many past statements, said that an agreement had been reached In offering to \'Individual actors\ a contract grant- ing an eight performance weok, with tra performances paid for pro rata. rtiau, air. liimKin.i said, tne manarers ' it , i ....uhr iu tuumu oiner qucsiiuna u uiu.irauon Dy a joint uoara. who would choose a neutral umpire, each slde selecting 1U own representatives. i I n 1 . . . a ... 1,11 . \ w \At'iuri ii 1 01 1 , u m. \We're not offering this contract to striking actors,\ said Mr. Hopkins, \but to actors who are out of work. \Would It be possible for the Eoulty to chcosa the actors' representatives on tho arbitration board?\ he was asked by one of the publicity pundits. wnue 1 can t speak authoritatively for the other managers,\ Mr. Hopkins said. \It Is my personal opinion that I think they would leave that matter open. We haven't so far decided, but the Equltj-mlg- ht possibly choose the actors on the board. We shouldn't mind, so long as the arbitrators were chosen.\ \Would you recognise the Equity?\ \No we should not recoimlre It.\ A later statement omitted the offer of ar bitration. Mr. Untermyer accepted the nosltlon of head of the Equity's legal talent In a letter In which ho upheld the stand of the players and denounced that of the managers, althoush he stated he had large property Interests In several of the theatres darkened by the strike. Untermyer n Theatre Orrner, Mr. Untermyer wrote In part: \Although I personally own anQ rep-r- e ent a one-ha- lf Interest In the Shubert and Booth theatre properties, which are leased to Messrs. Srtubert and Ames re- spectively, to my mind there can be but ono answer to the Issue thus raHid. The gentlemen constituting the Produc- ing Managers Association eeem to me to bo about a quarter of a century behind thr times. If they expect to satisfy the public that while they may combine to their hearts' content, the uctors shall be derived of tho protection of collective bargaining in settling the forms of their contracts, they are mistaken, if they can succeed In such an undertaking the olden days of lntalernble oppression amounting to quasi-slaver- y to which ths actor was subjected on tho part of the Lmanagcr, and the 'cutthroat' form of contract wnicn was so often denounced by the courts, and which Is so repugnant to the elementary Instincts of common Justice, might be reinstated. \I am told that the ground on which the managers' association has determined to encompass the destruction ot the Actors Equity , Association Is that the latter has brought about the breach of existing contracts for the purpose of enforcing the right to' a more lust form of agreement for the future.

Polo Ground Gules Swept Away by Greatest Jam in Sport's History. SCORE HURT, ONE MAY DIE Steel Shutter Collapses and Fans Aro Hnrled to Scc-\tio- n Bolow. New York went baseball mad yes- terday afternoon. Lured by the at- traction of two games for one admis- sion fee between the New York and Cincinnati clubs, which are engaged In a tense struggle for the National League pennant, more than 60,000 persons attempted to Jam, wedge or hurl themselves into the Polo Grounds. Forty thousand finally did manage to gain entry into the stadium. The rest were forced to retreat downcast, but not before two gates had been broken down and the crowd had been charged time and again by the police. To make matters worse New York was dtfeated twice. It was the biggest crowd that yet has attempted to see a major league game In this or any other city. Very likely it was the biggest gathering that ever saw a professional contest In the- - United States. The day was not without its casualty list. In the second Inning of the first game a report which sounded like the bursting of a big shell resounded through the grand stand. It was caused by the collapse of a steel shutter under the Im pact of1 a determined charge of fans at the Speedway entrance. In a trice a writhing human mass went hurtling from the ruhway to' the upper stahd down to the lower section, cnrrylns the frail rail with it.

The park had become too Jammed for safety. The Cincinnati club proposed that the fans be permitted to overflow onto the r?old and that ground rules bo established, but this proposltlbn was turned down by Charles Stoneham. president of the New York club. He felt that because of the tensity of the pennant flsht and the hard feeling engendered thereby It would be unsafeto place the fans so near the Cincinnati pluyers.

Orders Investlfgntlou, Acting on a telegram late to-d- from Gov. Cox, saying that a Cleveland con- cern, to escape porslbla prosecution for hoarding, was moving Its meat products to warehouses in Chicago and destroying Its records, the Department of Justice or- dered the District Attorney at Cleveland to look Into the matter immediately. All attempts to effect transfer ot goods in storage, officials said, would be dealt with summarily, Selsure of large stocks of foodstuffs In storage continued with reports received of libels flled In Cleveland and Detroit and preparations for such ac- tion In many cities. The department was Informed that tho District Attornev at Detroit had flled libels in three cases and seized approximately 10,400,000 eggs and 300,000 pounds of butter, all of which had been held in storage. Statistics announced by the Bureau of Markets showing a great increase In the amount of food held In storage were said by Judge Ames, assistant to the Attorney-- General In charge of enforcing the food control law, to bear out the depart- ment's contention that a prime reason for enhanced prices was the holding of supplies from the market. \We are going to force these hoard-er- a and profiteers to disgorge,\ Judge Ames declared, \wherever they are found to hold greater amounts tha'i are necessary for the conduct of their business and the safeguarding of, Uio food situation during the winter.\ DRUNKEN CREW SEIZE SHIP.

DEMOCRATS IN FIGHT TO STAY PALMER'S HAND Southern Senators Start Filibuster Against Effort to Iteach Profiteer. COTTON PRICES INVOLVED Ransdell Says Measure Will Be Debated Until Food Con- trol Bill Dies. Special DttpatcA to Tns Sex. Wabhinoto.v, Aug. 13. A filibuster in the Senate, with Southern Demo- -' crata leading it, threatens any effort to amplify the food control statutes in the fight to reduce the high cost of living. This was made evident to-d- at a meeting of the Senate Committee on Agriculture when tho subject of provision for penalizing merchants who make unfoUr or ' unreasonable rates or charges came up for discus- sion. \This means the prosecution of the individual for a wholly new and here- tofore unheard of crime,\ said Senator Smith (Ga.). \I for one am not pre- pared yet to lend my vote to It.\ \It's a very dangerous step,\averred Senator Itansdell (La.), cutting in, and Senator Gronna (N. D.), chairman of tho committee, remarked that the farmers would oppose It tooth and nail, as It bore directly upon them and their business. \So far asrm concerned,\ asserted Senator Smith (S. C), \I'll fight it r.nyhow and the Attorney-Gener- al is not going to gei such legislation with- out a fight. He has too much power as It is.\ \ . : 0nly thinly veiled were the threats that the Southern Democrats ot the com mltteo Intended to combat to the last ditch any further Increase in the ex- ecutive power or any broadening of the scope of tho existing law which might, in any circumstances.

This hurry call has cut short several pleasure trips, sent telegrams flying over the' Stat for distant members, one of whom.
