"In this day of fast communication, newspapers and magazines there is a more enlightened conscience of the people and so nation can long stand out against the enlightened conscience of the world.

Should Lend In JJatlce. "This great country, this great Government should be a leader among the powers in doing justice toward the smaller countries. The old power of force has received the disrespect of the people, save in the chanceries of the world." Senator Borah said the United States was now being put to the test in a matter that may at first seem insignificant, but which, he asserted, is a crucial test. He referred to the situation in Nicaragua. He reviewed the election of 1923 in Nicaragua and charged that Adolfo Diaz was the brains behind the Ciia-morro'coiip d'etat.

"It now happens," he said, "that the organizer of the revolution is supported by the American navy and marines of the United States." Then taking up Mexico he reviewed the Diaie regime in that country and the Madero revolu election was defeated by the Republican nominee, Lewis Heisler Ball. During the last two years of his term Senator Saulsbury was president pro tempore of the Senate. Senator Saulsbury was chairman of the Democratic State Committee of Delaware from 1900 to 1900. Two years later he was elected a member of the Democratic National Committee and served continuously in that capacity until 1920. He was a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions of 1890, 1904, 1912 and 1920.

Aided In Arms Conference. Since bis retirement from the United States Senate Saulsbury had been actively engaged in law practice in Wilmington and- Washington. He was a member of the advisory committee of the limitation of armament conference-in Washington in 1921-1922 and a year later was American delegate to the Pun- American conference at Santiago, Chile. At the Democratic National Convention of 1924 in New lork Senator Saulsbury was put forth by the delegation from his State as a candidate for the Presidential nomination and received a number votes during the early balloting.

S. Senate WILLARD SAULSBURY ese troops to that city, although the Hankow negotiations are not understood in Washington to have any direct bearing on tbe International Settle ment status at Shanghai, No report on the Hankow negotia tions indicating tbeir successful conclu sion had reached the State Department tonight. The Washington Government has had only an indirect interest in the British-Chinese discussions there since they bave involved the question of the future status of British concessions at ports controlled by the Cantonese. Agitation Mar Subside. Should the British Government and tbe Can.onese authorities have reached an understanding as to these strictly British concessions, however, there is little doubt in Washington that Nationalist agitation at Shanghai, where the United States and other countries have interests, will subside.

Thus far the official reports from Shanghai do not show that the strikes called in that city in celebration of Cantonese military victories have bad any anti-foreigu aspect. This facj; has further encouraged Washington officials to believe that Shanghai again will es cape from serious disturbances, as it has so many times in the past in periods of revolutionary turmoil in the immediate neighborhood of the city. mm ACCORD IS SIGNED Britain Hopes To Reach Simi lar Agreement With Peking Government. ACTION PLEASES LONDON English Officials Think All Troubles In China May Be Ended. (Continued from Page 1.) to previous disappointments on tbe eve of the expected signature.

It is understood that tbe leading principle of the accord is withdrawal of the Hankow concession from exclusive British control and placing it under a joint commission for administration, similar to that of the former German and Russian concessions. The Chi ese will participate actively in municipal affairs with increasing rights and re sponsibilities. it is reported nnai signature was brought about by Sir Austen agreeing to divorce the Hankow problem entirely from (he larger question of British concessions in China generally, and naturally the agreement has nothing to do whatsoever with the Shanghai problem. Negotiations With Chinese Broken Off Several Times The agreement signed by Charge O'Miilley and Eugene Chen is probably in the nature of a new modus vivendi to take the place of treaties now in effect between China and Great Britain. Negotiations were begun early iu January.

It then was stated they were designed virtually to do away with foreign concessions excepting Shanghai, which is an international settlement-extraterritoriality and existing customs treaties, to which both the Canton and Peking governments strenuously objected. Xeu-otintlons Suspended. The terms on which Great Britain approached the Cantonese were not made public, but they were said to be most liberal. It was understood Great Britain asked only such minor conditions as would insure efficient administration of the surrendered concessions. The negotiations have been suspended several times because of objections from Chen.

The most serious impasse was that encountered early in February, when Chen announced that "uirtil the British cease their heavy concentration of troops at Shanghai the Nationalists of China will not enter into negotiations for a new treaty." How that objection has been overcome is not now apparent, as the British for a time continued to send forces already en route into Shanghai. The British proposals to the Cantonese were also presented to the Peking Government and for a time negotiations were in progress between Miles Lamp-son, the British Minister, and the Peking officials. No progress has been reported recently as to these negotiations, since the Peking Government ten days ago made objections similar to those of the Cantonese regarding the sending of British troops to Shanghai. Agreement May Relax Tension In Shanghai Wasliington, Feb. 20 UP).

Agreement between the British diplomatic repre sentatives at Hankow and Eugene Chen, Cantonese Foreign Minister, reported today, may serve to relax tension at Shanghai over the approach of Canton- All Parties Eulogize Wis Hubert M. La Follette, attended the services. Representative Nelson pictured La Follette as a faithful friend, a political leader and an immortal counsellor." Representative Rathbone said his whole life had been given over to a long, bard and sometimes discouraging battle for the "welfare of the common people." Called "Practical Ideullnt." "lie was a practical idealist, a common sense reformer and a man of the people," Rathbone said. Representative LaGuardia. declaring La follette was as much loved in the East as in the West, said "no one could adequately do honor to him in one short speech.

In his political career, he demonstrated to tbe people his love for them. He went into their homes and saw and understood their needs." BUTLER STARTS TOUR AGAINST DRY LAW Eighteenth Amendment Breaks Law, Says Columbia University Head. ORGANIZES CIVIL WAR He Opens Speaking Campaign To Carry Him To Middle West. N. Feb.

20 UP). The real issue of prohibition is a problem of government, not of morals, and best can be met by giving States and localities the right to control liquor traffic as they see fit, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, pr sident of Columbia University, said in an address here tonight. Speaking in Temple Adatll Yeshurun on "The True Issue of Prohibition," the first address of several to be made in a trip which wiR take him into the Middle West, Dr. Butler asserted the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead act have failed to solve tbe problem of controlling the liquor traffic and have brought results directly opposite to those sought.

Unestion In Government. "The true issue of prohibition has nothing 'to do with liquor at all," he said. "It is a question in government. It is a question as to how the American people, given their fundamental laws and history, shall deal, with the social evils, public nuisances and crimes which have been and still are the outcome of overindulgence in intoxicating liquor and in private and illegal liquor traffic. "The true question of prohibition is one having to do with the relation of the citizen to the Government and of the Government to the citizen, and that question would remain whether the Eighteenth Amendment dealt with in-toxicationg liquor or whether it dealt with meats and vegetables.

"A Law-Breaking; Law. "The Eighteenth Amendment affronts the Constitution and cannot be a part of it, for it is in itself a law-breaking law. Therefore every effort to enforce it is of necessity lawless. "The Eighteenth Amendment organizes legal civil war under constitutional force, and that is what is going on all over the land to the great distress of our people. Yet we have left the problem of the of the liquor traffic unsolved." lllseuKses Political Aspects.

Dr. Butler outlined a parallel between the present situation in which the great political parties find themselves in considering prohibition and that faced by the larger parties when slavery and secession were the issues. Failure of one party fo meet or mention the issue, he said, resulted in its political death. "Unless all signs fail," he declared, "that same fate awaits the political party in the United States today that will not lend the people to a solution of this new problem."

20 (Special). A hog, which escaped from its pen in Chesterfield in 1023 and has been running wild in the woods of that county, destroying crops and frightening children, has just been killed by a posse of hunters with a pack of hounds. The hog, which weighed 600 pounds, was killed near Midlothian after a spectacular chase. It required several loads of buckshot to put an end to it.

The Nationalist Hag was displayed everywhere, while labor massmeetings celebrated the taking of Ilangchow by the Cantonese.

Rain Units Looting. Looting of the city was blamed on troops of General Chow Jin-jen, ex Governor of Fukien province, who, after losing the former province, also shared Marshal Sun's defeat at Cbe- kiaug. These forces, the last Northerners to leave, began pillaging, but tbeir activities were cut short by heavy rains and rapid approach of tbe Nationalists, About 400 bouses were looted. Further northward withdrawal of Marshal Sun's forces is reported, but there are 40,000 soldiers between Hash ing and Sungkiang, which is taken as evidence of another stand. The Southerners, are not yet advancing, as their forces at Hangcbow are believed small and it is necessary to await reinforce ments and supplies before beginning the next stage of tho adventure.

A number of robberies in the en virons of Shanghai are blamed on Sun Chuan-fang stragglers, while National ist sympathizers are believed responsible for some tampering with the railway line encircling this city.

Robert Marion La Follette was described as a man for the people in memorial services for the late Wisconsin Senator today in the House, where a score of his friends from half a dozen States and all parties eu'ogized bis "practical idealism" and bis readiness to fight in the people's interest.

ITALY'S REPLY AWAITED Speculation In Washington Caused By Delay In Rome.

Washington, Feb. 20 W). Prospects of an early action by President Coolidge in connection with bis proposal for a supplemental naval conference at Ge neva were further removed today, due to tbe fact that Japan, in accepting the suggestion, set June 1 as the earliest date -by which her delegates could be prepared to proceed with negotiations The Japanese acceptance, made public very curly today under the arrange ment of the Tokio Government, com plied closely with forecasts of the Jap anese attitude as made in tbe Parlia ment at Tokio. Due to tlii-; advance notice the Japanese intimation that the Tokio Government would not accept the u-5-3 capital ship ratio of the Washing ton treaty, to be applied rigidly in any tonnage limitation agreement for auxiliary craft which might be reached at Geneva, came as no surprise. Coolidwe May Delny Comment.

The Japanese communication still is to be studied by Secretary Kellogg and his advisers, and it is anticipated that Mr. Kellogg will issue a formal state ment, as he did In connection with the French rejection of the American plan'. It has been indicated at the White House, however, that President Cool idge will defer any comment until the British and Italian replies also have been received. Japanese acceptance presumably leaves the door open for consideration of a three-power understanding should the British accept, as has been indicated unofficially in London. Home May Be Hrdruf tliix Reply.

In some quarters there was a tendency to speculate on the reason for Italy's delay in transmitting an unfavorable reply which an official statement- in Rome early last week said would reach Washington before the end of the week. It has not come, and some observers believed it possible that the Rome Government has decided to redraft its answer iu view of the French reply. Whether this would amount only to a change in form or would involve an alteration of the Italian attitude on the conference proposal itself, these observers would not predict. Merger Makes Frisco Bank Second Largest In V. S.

Combine Raines Cnpltnl Investment Of Const InstKntlun To 910.1,000,000. San Francisco, Feb. 20 OP). The Bank of Italy, with headquarters in this city, became the largest banking institution iu tho country, outside of New York city, yesterday. Indorsement by the Federal Reserve Board in Washington of an application by the bank to merge its interests with the Liberty Bank of America made this ninioiiiioement possible, said President James A.

Bacigalupi, of the Bauk of Italy. As a result of the merger stockholders of the Liberty Bank will received 50,000 shares of the stock of the Bank of Itnly, thereby increasing the capital of the Bank of Italy and the Affiliated Stockholders' Auxiliary Corporation by approximately $30,000,000 and making tbe combined capital investment upward of $103,000,000. This will give the Bank of Italy the second largest capital accumulation of any bunk in the United States. The bank has branches throughout California.

The ten legislative days remaining before the gavels fall at noon March 4 will be given over to driving through a flock of pet bills, some consideration being given to several major ones, but without much likelihood of finality. Tomorrow the Senate will resume debate on the Boulder Canyon Dam bill, which faces a filibuster by the Senators from Arizona, Utah and Nevada. When the night lights begin to burn, the Senate will take up the House bill authorizing the Veterans' Bureau to make loans to. World War veterans on their adjusted compensation certificates, and if that is disposed of the Alien Property return bill will become the order of business. Joint Session To donor Washington.

Tuesday both houses will do honor to the memory of Washington in a joint session, at which President Coolidge will peak. At night the Senate will meet again to consider private pension claims and other measure to which there may be no objection, by any individual Senator. The program after Tuesday remains to be made up, but Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah, has given notice that lie will move to displace the Boulder Canyon Dam bill with the prohibition and customs reorganization measure. There also may be one or two -more night sessions to take care of some of the 214 subjects on the calendar which will be forced over Tuesday night. Whisky Bill Cumin Hp.

The House will devote Monday and Wednesday to bills on the calendar and Thursday and Friday it will perfect and send to the Senate the last of the necessary supply bills, a second deficiency to take care of the excess of expenditures by the Government departments over the amount Congress allowed them for this fiscal year. Tuesday will be prohibition day in the House in all probability, as the leaders expect to call up Representative Hawley's bill providing for manufacture of medicinal whisky under Government supervision. Fiiends of the Boulder Canyon Dam bill still are bopeful that the Rules Committee will unbottle the Swing-Johnson bill and propose a rule uflder which the House could express itself at this1 session on this long-sought legislation. Cruiser Fight Itluy Be Settled, Efforts will be made in both houses to forco Muscle Shoals once more into the picture, but there remains little doubt that this will be one of many problems the Sixty-ninth Congress will bequeath to the new one. The battle between the Senate and the House over authorizing Immediate construction of three more of the scout cruisers, which Congress provided for in 1924, may be settled this week with the House taking a separate vote to determine whether there has been any change of sentiment since it refused to approve the cruiser proposal.

Session's Political Phases Placed Under Review Wasliington Bureau of The Sun. Washington, Feb. 20. Now that Congress is. near the point of expiring, one hears a general sizing up of tbe session's work from a political viewpoint.

Besides the appropriation bills, the outstanding accomplishments lie in the passage of the MeXary-Haugon farm bill, the MeFndden branch bank bill, a compromise and tentative radio regulation bill nnd the rivers and harbors bill, regarded as a great pork barrel. Party lines have been so loosely drawn that neither side can well claim credit for any of these measures, seems to be the consensus. Pnrty Linen Lnld Aside. Representative Tilson, Connecticut, the Republican floor leader, and Representative Garrett, Democrat, Tennessee, the Democratic floor leader, fought side by side, and both ineffectually, when the McNary-Uaugen bill was being jammed through. The parties in the Senate were divided Over the same bill and observers saw Senator Robinson.

Democrat, Arkansas, assisting the Republican Senator McNary. On the MeFndden bill, Democratic Senators like Mr. Glass, Virginia, aligned themselves with Republican stalwarts like Senator Smoot, Utah, and similar combinations were effected in the House. Radio was not a party measure and neither was the rivers and harbors bill, In which all hands scrambled to put through pet projects. Differ On Taxation.

The only apparent difference between the two parties, other than occasional Democratic assaults on the Administration, lias been over taxation. In that the Democrats made a gesture toward urging tax reduction at this session and accused the Republicans of wanting to delay until just before the next elec tions. The respective party leaders might well have changed places without much change in the direction of their policies, an observer comments. It is said no individual came out of the session with greatly enhanced prestige unless it be Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri. His reputation seem ingly has been improved because of his w-orl: in connection with the slush fund I investigations.

"They tell us about Bolshevism in Mc.iico," Senator Borah said. "They tell us about Bolshevism endangering the Panama Canal. There was no Bolshevism and no talk of it when Madero started his revolution to regain to the people a country which had been sold from under them.

We hear, too, about the Constitution of 1917. The provisions of that Constitution were a part of the Madero platform in 1910. "The duty of the United States was then and is now to assist Mexico in solving the great agrarian problem. We ought to lend our aid to these people, even if a few oil wells are not worked overnight. Let us take into consideration something other than the cold value of dollars and cents." Xrrses Arbitration, Senator Borah maintained it was proper- to protect American interests abroad, but he asserted "in administering that protection we can't overlook the rights of the people in whose countries our property is situated." "People who acquire property in for eign lands should at all times be willing to submit their property rights, if brought in question, either to the laws and courts of the country in which their property is situated or to arbitration," he said.

"It ought to be re garded as a crime to defend by force and with American marines a title or claim for property which cannot stand the inspection of an abitrator. Alludes To Revolution Of JT70. "The American taxpayer should not be called 'upon to protect property or titles which the claimants are unwill ing to have adjudicated, according to the methods now adopted by civilized countries for the settlement of such questions. The time bas passed when people will go to war to uphold titles which exploiters and investors are un willing to submit to the scrutiny of judicial investigation. "A great and powerful nation should be unwilling to accomplish by force That it is unwilling to accomplish by arbitration." And then, alluding apparently to both Mexico and Nicaragua, he asserted "It is just as possible for these peo-'ple to work out their own salvation in their own' way as it was for us beginning in 1770."

He believes the question will be taken up at a conference in Washington In May. "Alcoholism in this country," the paper quotes Dr. Nicoll, "is at present the cause of death and sickness of ever-increasing thousands.
