SUMMARY VOLUMB 39 E lmira , N. Y., S aturday , J une 11, 1921. •X- « N umber 24 Armament Dispute To Conference H o u s e Votes, 2 3 2 —i l O lo Leave I t ' s Spokesmen Free- Means Fight For Porter Plan. Harding Gives A p proval W ashington .— By s vote of 232 to 110, tbo Memo sent the Nsval Appropiiation bill lo eoa- forenee without instructions te its conforeei. Thro«i;h this course the House left its confereos free to substitute the Porter disArmament resolu tion for the Borah smendment new in the bill. President HardinK objects to the limiting pro visions of the Borah amendment, which leaves him no choiee to invite other nations than Great Britain or Japan te a disarmament conference or to include the limitation of ormiss as well as ■avioB. By its action the House clearly indicated that it stands back of the Prosident in this attitude. Sympathy between the House and the President appears to be mutual, for Mr. Harding exproised to Representative Mondell, the Republican floor leader in that body, his satisfaction with the Porter Resolution. Senators Poindexter end Hale, both of the loaato Naval Affairs Committee, whe are cen- forees representing the Sonate on the Naval bill, also visited President Harding today. They wouldaot discuss what occurred at tho mostiag. Senator Poindexter said that the Senate confor- 008 would insist on the Borah a nendmont in pte- ferenco te the Porter resolution. If both the House and the Sonate are so fixed in their a ttit udes, it may be noeessary to request Preaidoat Harding to make a formal declaration of his po sition. AIRPLANE BEATS LIMITED POUGHKEBPSIB, N. Y. —An exciting race be tween an airplane and the Twentieth Century Limited took place. The race started at a poini a little south of the village of Tarrytown, and before the train was opposite the village the airplane had passed the locomotive as if it wore standing still. The train was mokiiig between sixty-five ondaeveatT miles an boar, while the airplane, after coaxing it along, passed it at a rate of 125 miles an hour, LAFAYETIE VISIT ANNIVBRSARY Rachester, N. Y. The ninety-sixth anniversary of the visit of the Marquis Do Lafayette to Reeh- oster was marked by the Rochester Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution by the un veiling of a tablet on the site of Hoards Tavern, whore Lafayette received veterans of thn'rovelu- tion on his visit in 1825. The dedicatory address was delivered by Prince De Beam Et De Cbalais, ohaneellor of the French Embassy. MEXI::AN TREATY OF AMITY W ashington .— The American government has proposed a treaty of amity and commerce with Mexico, it was announced at the State Depart ment, in which Mexico will agree to safeguard the rights of property in that eountry htld by American citizens which was attashed boforo the constitution of 1917 was promulgated. The eign- iog of the treaty automatically would aceemplish recognition of the Mexican government. REDUCE FREIGHT RATES. ' C hicago . —The transcontinental railways an nounced a reduction of rates on earload shipments I ef vegetables, melons and apples. A new rate ' of $1.76 per hundred pounds on vegstablss and melens, including santaleupes, from Pacific coast ' Mrminals and intermediate points to destinations east of Chicago and the Mississippi river will be made effective at the earliest potslbie data. FOR LOWER W a g e sc a l e C hicago . —A petition asking a rsdaetion of wages of nearly 100,000 employas in the meat industries was filed with Jndga AJsehnler, packing iiawB— —— -——— — sf the Unitsd States District Court, by the allied padcing interests. Judge Alachnler is the official arbitrator agreed upon by empleyers and em ployees nader a caatiaaation of a war time agree ment. Engiish^F rench Treaty FaVored Liquidation Of Questions Outstanding Between The 2 Wo Countries Greatly \De sired. Governments Are Hampered. L ondon .— Desire for a definite Anglo-French treaty expressed by tbs French newspapers met with a certain amount of response from the Brit ish press. It is felt that the present system ef irregular meetings ef the Supreme Council with regard to special problems is unsatisfactory, and that the time is approaching when there should be a general liquidation of questiens outstanding bet ween the two countries and an agreement on allied policy on such widely separated problemes as Silesia, Austria, the Near East, reparation and the Ruhr. It is felt that failure te act together on one is reacting en discussions on the others and is giv ing the enemies of the Entente most desirahleop- portunities for trying to play one eountry off a- gainst the other. The Lendon Times notes with pleasure that the French publicists are awakening to the need of thorough settlement, and quates Poinrare in tbo Revue Bes Deux Msndes, Portinax in the Echo Do Paris, and the Petit Parisien as supporting the general idea. NEW TREASURY NOTE* W ashington .— Secretary ef the Treasury Mel lon announced his first offering of approximately $500,000,000 of short term Treasury notes, pur- si ant to the Treasury's new program of varying its monthly offerings of Treasury certificates of indehtednesB with issue of short term notes with a view to toe gradual distribution of tho short- dated deht through successive issues of notes in coorenicut naaturities coveting the period from 1923 to 1928. Under this progsm, Secretary Mellon said he is making a combined offering of three-year 6^ per cent. Treasury notes and one year 51^ per cent. Treasury certificates. Ha at the same time made public the text of a letter he has writ ten te the banking institutions ef tbo caantry, taking them into the confidence ef the Treasury raspsetisg its plana and policies.

In a statement Representative Gallivan ebara- etarized Dempeey as a \big bum who dodged the draft” and declared that France bad been at war for months before Carpentier joined the colors. \The men whe will pay $50 for a ringside seat to look at those two ‘fighters’ overwhelmed mem bers of the last Congress with their letters of protest against paying a mere pittance ef a aol diers’ bonus to real champions,” Mr. Gallivan ■aid. “It would not havo enst these men individ ually $50 to have helped meet the cost of a sol diers’ bonus bill.” NO MORE PASSPORTS O ttawa , O nt .~ American toarisis to Canada do net need passports either to enter or to loave tbo country, the Department of Immigration and Colonization declared in a formal statement.
