PASSED BY SENATE YEAR AGO
Secretary of State Hughes Sends
Copies of All Correspondence He
Has Had With Dutch Govern-
ment to Senate.
Washington.—It is the policy of the
American government in every part of
the world "to Inquire and make rep-
resentations to foreign governments
wherever it appears that monopolistic
petroleum concessions might be grant-
ed to the possible detriment of Ameri-
can citizens," according to a state-
ment signed by Secretary Hughes
and transmitted to the senate in
answer to a resolution passed by the
senate a year ago.
Mr. Hughes included in the report
copies of communications exchanged
between the United States and th*
Netherlands government in reference
to the Djambi oil fields of the Dutch
Indies and summaries of state depart-
ment actions taken in Mexico.
In all diplomatic communications,
the statement said, it has been "em-
phasized that foreign nationals and
corporations controlled by foreign na
tionalists have enjoined privileges in
the exploitation of American oil
fields equal to those extended to citi-
zens of the United States."
In the Djambi matter, the state
ment said, it was hoped that the con-
cessions bill recently passed "might
be modified to let Americans partici
pate but under present conditions it
was certain that control of th6 de-
velopment would go to the Bataaf-
sche Petroleum company and the
Shell Transport and Trading com-
pany."

ly following an attack of heart dis-
ease.
Funeral services were held at Chi-
cago, where his body was cremated,
following a private funeral, one of Mr.
Lane's last requests.
Messages from President Harding,
Woodrow Wilson and scores of gov
eminent officials and personal friends
were received by Mrs. Lane during
the day.
Heads of Administration Come to Sup-
port of Idea as They Communi-
cate With Senate.
Washington—Senator Borah of Ida
ho and those associateed with him In
the senate on questions of naval pol-
icy, virtually won their fight for incor-
poration in the $500,000,000 naval ap-
propriation mil of the Borah amend-
ment requesting the president to call
naval disarmament conference of
i he I nited States, Great Britain and
Japan.
Sena.or Poindexter, republican,
Washington, in charge of the naval
bill, and other administration leaders,
suddenly and unexpectedly came to
the support of the amendment and
leaders generally joined in predictions
of adopting of the disarmament pro-
posal.
Harding Heard From.
Although Senator Poindexter and
other republican leaders said they
had not heard further from President
Harding regarding his attitude to-
ward the Borah porposal, there were
reports that both by letter and tele
phone the president had been In com-
munication with republican leaders.
Both in senate debate and in a
formal statement to the press. Senator
Poindexter annonnced his intention
to vote for the Borah amendment
and also hold a preliminary point of
order against it which would have
required a two-thirds vote for its
adoption. After this announcement
Senator Curtis, republican whip,
passed the word among republicans
to vote as they desired on the Borah
provisions. Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, the republican leader, said
that he would vote for the amend-
ment and that he expected general re-
publican support for it.
Borah Is Gratified.
The change in the situation oc-
casioned considerable surprise and. to
Senator Borah, much gratification.
After a conference with the presi-
| dent, Senator Poindexter announced
I recently that the president preferred
' not. to have the Borah amendment
adopted, while Senator Hale, republi-
can. Maine, who accompanied Senator i
Poindexter, also had said that he
understood the president regarded it ]
as "unnecessary."
Despite the developments In the dis- j
armament controversy, no progress '
was made on the bill. Senator King,
democrat, Utah, and Lafollette, re-
publican, Wisconsin, again spoke at
length in the criticism of the appto-
priation program, but tomorrow it was ,
expected that the senate would get '
down to disposition of many amend !
ments proposed by the naval commit- j
tee.

COURT ELEVEN YEARS.
His Ascension to the Bench Was the
Climax of a Long Career With
Many Honors Attained.
London.—The dinner of welcome by
the Pilgrims Society to the American
ambassador, George Harvey, was en-
veloped in far deeper interest than
usually attends a reception to a new
ambassador by this international club.
Not only was it Mr. Harvey's first
public appearance since his appoint
ment to the post, but there was gen-
eral expectation that he would reveal
something of the new administration's
policy toward European affairs.
The ambassador did not disappoint
his audience, for he sharply brushed
aside any lingering illusion that the
United States would have any relat-
ing whatever with the league of na-
tions.. He also announced his appoint-
ment to represent the president in the
supreme council in the discussion over
Silesia.
His Words Are Plain.
Mr. Harvey's plain words on the
league were a revelation, and his plea
for the closest co-operation between
the two great English speaking coun-
tries was impressive.
The British prime minister made an
eloquent speech, but rather disappoint-
ed those who hoped for more of inter-
national plain speaking, whidh is the
fashion of the moment. The premier
described the plight of Europe, en-
meshed in ancient feuds, and gave
warm welcome to the new co-opera-
tion of America in world affairs.
The Duke of Connaught presided,
and Lord Desbrough read a message
from the American pilgrims.
Lord Cruzon, secretary for foreign
affairs, spoke briefly and humorously
referred to.the league of nations by
the wish that lord Robert Cecil one
of the chief supporters of that or
ganisatlon was in his shoes.
There were 350 diners, among them
the Duke of York, and many mem-
bers of the peerage and rspresenta
tives of the American colony.
Washington — Edward Douglas
White, chief justice of the United
States supreme court, died at a hos-

of the heart occurred. Up to that

SETTLE THE TAX QUESTION

' America Urged To Take Lead In Ask
Ing Disarmament In Speech.
j Chicago.—America was urged to j
I take the lead in effecting reduction el 1
I armament of all nations, at a mas«
I meeting addressed by William Jen-'
j nnigs Bryan and others in the final'
session of the two-days' congress on
' limitation or armaments. Mr. Bryan
I made the closing appeal for worldi
| peace, declaring his motton to be "dis :
! armament by agreement if possible, |
by example if necessary."
The purpose of the entire confer-
ence was summed up in a resolution
adopted earlier in the day and pre |
sented to the assemblage urging j
President Harding to call Great Brit ;
aln and Japan into conference looking j
to reduction of naval armaments by j
agreement.
America, Mr. Bryan said, was the
only great nation which set an ex- ;
ample in mobolization for war, but I
now, he added, "she can't get out of j
war." He ridiculed the law which re- j
quired two-thirds vote in congress to
ratify a treaty but permitted declara-
tion of war by a majority vote. i
Matthew Woll, vice president of the i
American Federation of Labor, ex- |
tended the "helping hand of the
American labor movement," to the I
congress in their proposal for arm.«-
bient limitation. He asserted labors
stand for peace, but declared lahoi j
had no regret for the part it took <n
•he world war.
Edward Douglas White
hoped for a rapid recovery after an
operaton for bladder trouble
After the unexpected relapse th«
physicians did not expect the chief
justice to live.
Death was said to be due directly
to complications which developed aft-
er the operation.
Justice McKenna and other of Mr.
White's associates in the supreme
court called at the hospital when it
became known that his condition was
serious, but did not enter the room
as the chief Justice was unconscious
Chief Justice White of the United
States supreme court was regarded
as the embodiment of his high office.
In the earlier days of his occupancy
of the bench, he had the reputation of
being a fastidious dresser; and cou-
pled with this human trait, he wai
fond of outdoor exercise.
He was a Roman Catholic in reli*
ion, having graduated from the Jesuit
college in New Orleans, and at
Georgetown, District of Columbia, uni-
versity. His other studies had been
pursued at Mount St. Mary's near Em-
mitsburg, Maryland.
His ascension to the bench was the
climax of a long career in which many
honors had been attained. Licensed
to practice law by the supreme court
of Louisiana in 1868, he was elected
to the state senate in 1874, and four
years later he was appointed asso-
ciate justice of the supreme court of
Louisiana.
He occupied the bench for a num-
ber of years. In 1891, however, he
took his seat in the United States
senate, having been elected as a dem-
ocrat, from Louisiana.
While serving in the senate, he was
appointed by President Taft, in 1910
to be Chief Justice of the United
States Supreme court, and took bis
seat December 19 of that year.
RELATES LATER EXPERIENCE
Declares That the Way Tanlac Re.
stored Her Health Is More Re-
markable Than Anything She
Has Ever Had Happen
to Her.
"I've had some remarkable expe-
riences In my life, but none more won-
derful than the way Tanlac overcame
my troubles and made me gain twen-
ty pounds," was the statement of Mrs.
Christina K. Dingman, 1216 Alice St.,
Oakland, Calif. One of the experiences
to which Mrs..Dingman refers is well
known to her friends. When a child
of three years, accompanying her fa-
ther, a noted sea captain, on an ocean
trip, the vessel was wrecked, but she
was almost miraculously saved, the
small box into which she was put be-
ing washed ashore. According to her
statement, Mrs. Dingman enjoyed the
best of health until three years ago
when she began to suffer from a bad
form of stomach trouble and later
from rheumatism. How she was com-
pletely restored to health is best told
in her own words:
"Nobody knows how I suffered for
the past three years. No matter how
carefully I ate I would endure ago-
nies afterwards from smothering and
sinking spells. Sometimes they were
so severe I would fall to the floor and
wonld have to be carried to bed. I
went for days at a time without eat-
ing, as I dreaded the misery I knew
would follow, no matter what I ate.
Then rheumatism set in and my shoul-
ders and arms hurt me so I couldn't
comb my hair. My back felt like It
was breaking In two.
"I was almost In the depths of de-
spair when I began on Tanlac, but this
grand medicine has made me a well
and happy woman. I'm not even trou-
bled with constipation now, thanks to
the Laxative Tablets, which are far
superior to anything of the kind I ever
tried. It seems almost too good to
be true, but here I am in the best of
health and spirits after I had given
up hope, and I'll always praise Tanlac
for It."
Tanlac Is sold by leading druggists
