TO 8E RATIFIED FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE APPROVES DEMOCRATS JOIN IN MAKING FAVORABLE REPORT, WITH FINAL ACTION SCHEDULED NEXT WEEK. Washington; Se#t. 23.?The treaties of peace negotiated by the administration with Germany, Austria and Hungary were approved today by the senate foreign relations committee, but with two reservations. One resrvation?similar to a Lodge reservation to the treaty of Versailles?would require an act of congress prior to representation on or; participation in any foreign agencies or commissions by American representatives whose nomination would have to be confirmed by the senate. The other is designed to protect thep roperty right of American citizns as well as of the America.n government in the three former enetay countries. Adoption of the two reservations brought from the White House the statement that while President Harding had not seen their text, he favored the principles involved and no objection would be raised by the administration to ratification with the proposed reservation attached. Senator porah (/Republican) of Idaho, leader of the "irreconcilable" in the treaty of Versailles ratification, alone of the foreign relations committee members, stood out against recommendation that the three treaties be ratified with the mronosed reservations. Democratic committee members joined with the Republican members in ordering the pacts reported favorably to the senate where they were presented late todal by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican leader and committee chairman. - The treaties, Senator Lodge announced, are to be called before the senate tomorrow when he plans to make a preferential motion i, for ll their discussion ahead of all other business. It is proposed, however, to give right of way next week to the tax bill and to have night sessions, , beginning probably hext Tuesday, in an effort to hasten ratification. # 1 POPULATION OF PALESTINE SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND London, Sept. 24.?There are now barely 700,000 people in all Pal estane, a population mucn less roan that of Galilee alone in the time of ; <Christ,says Sir Herbert Samuel, the , British high commissioner there, in a i-eport just made public. Ten thousand' immigrants arrived in Palestine in the seven months be- , tween September, 1920, and Mayp1C21, he reports. ( Sir Samuel attributes the scarcity of the population to lack of develops ; ment. ; The financial condition of Eastern and Central Europe and internal ( difficulties within the Zionist organ- . ization of the- United States, says the , report, have prevented the Zionist < movement from providing, aa yet, any large sums for enterprises of , "development or colonization. As a > consequence, while there had been ( much pressure to admit Jewish im- , migrants, there has been no ex- ? pansion in the opportunities for em- 1 ployment, he declared. > . The water supply by Jerusalem having been found to be insufficient, { the government is bringing into use ] some ancient reservoirs of vast ca- , pa city, named the pools of Solomon, but of mnkonwn date, possibly. Herodian, situated eight miles away. The garrison of the county has been reduced to 5,000 combatant troops, imposing a charge of 2,500,000 pounds on the British exchequer or at he rate of 500 pounds for every fighting man.

RAILWAY BRINGS : COURT ACTION SOUTHERN FILES COMPLAINT IN NORTH CAROLINA?CLAIM MADE THAT ASSESSMENTS 1 ON ITS PROPERTY IN STATE ARE EXCESSIVE. Greensboro, N. C., Sept. 23.?Alleging that the tax assessments on its property in North Carolina are excessive and discriminatory and that under the statutes it has no right to appeal to the state board of equalization or to any other state ' board or court, the Southern Railway company today began action here in the United States court for 1 the Western district of North Carolina to have its 1921 assessments . set aside. < The action is in the form of a bill I of complaint in equity against Com- 1 missioner of Revenue A. D. Watts, 1 State Auditor Baxter Durham, State 1 Treasurer Benjamin R. Lacy, Attor- 1 ney General James I. Manning, the 1 sheriffs of counties and the tax col- 1 lectors of municipalities and school 1 districts through which the railway 1 operates, asking that they be enjoin- < ed from taking any steps to collect taxes on the alleged excessives valu- ! ation. No temporary restraining or- 1 ders is asked. It is understood that 1 three judges, one of who must be a 1 circuit judge or supreme court jus- 1 tice of preliminary injunction. ^ The Southern alleges that the as-j 1 sessment of its property in \North * C&rolina at above $96,000,00fl is | < more than $30,000,000 in excess of its true value. It states also that should this assessment stand its taxes will be increased more than $180,000 over last year as the result of action of the o<juntie| in reducing the assessments on real estate and increasing the tax rates. MONEY AT BOTTOM OF HANAN AFFAIR . < Daughter of Shoe Man Shot Be* came She Withdrew Financial Support From 'Mrs. Laws. ( f New York, Sept. 24.?The theory that Mrs. Grace Laws, losing the friendship and financial assignee of Miss Mildred Hanan, was driven t to a frenzy Which resulted in her ( shooting the shoe man's daughter \ and then committing suicide was ad- ? vocated today* by John S. Borland, .< a central figure in yesteray's trage- i dy. , * 1 Borland?a Dartmouth graduate, i importer, and friend of both Miss j Hanan and Mrs. Laws?advanced ] theory only after he had been press- i ed to do so by Assistant District At- ? toxney Wilson. j Borland asserted that the ending < of the friendship, carrying with it t withdrawal of Miss Hanan's finan- ? cial assitance, had left Mrs. Laws, , .1? m 1- _ I) TT - J i 1: ? I neany oruKe. ne expretsaeu ovukx thatv this followed by the excessive chinking for which Mrs. Laws wrote her regret in a letter addressed to her sister in San Fancisco and found after her death. Then, in turn, according to the Borland theory, came the homicidal frenzy. It w?3 learned that when the assitant district attorney attempted to question Miss Hanan?lyinfif in a Brooklyn hospital, fighting off death?the girl readiy answered all questions except those pertaining to the question of whether Mrs. Laws had owed her money. When a detective asked Miss Hanan, bluntly, why the other divorcee had shot her, the girl closed her eyes and barely moved her head from side to side to signify that she did know.

Desolation and ruins .alone remain of what was once the flourishing town of Oppau. The town had 6,500 residents, of which a majority of the men engaged in the chemical works were killed or bounded. Soldiers in French uniforms are clearing away the wreckage, picking up the dead and injured as after a big battle. (Eleven hundred dead and 4,000 injured is the latest estimate of the disaster yesterday, which caused a greater number of casualties in the Mannheim -Ludwighafen district than the four years of the war. The desolation around Oppau equals anything seen at Verdun or in Flanders over a similar area. Hundreds of! persons are ditreine in the ruins for 11 the bodies of relatives or friends, nearly 1,000 of which have been re:oveted thus far. Thirty-six hours after the explpjion, from the gaping, funnel like iole, where the Badische works formerly sfood, there are still to be aeard moaning and cries of the grounded, while the soldiers search For possilbe survivors. Twenty-five lundred of the injured are reported :o have passed through the hospital >f the surrounding cities. The vast crater is slowly filling arith water and it may ne7er le cnown how many victims found a p-ave there. All mutilated, but stil! iving animals crawling amidst tee wisted girders and blocks of con :rete, are being put out of th*;ir nisery: The firemen and relief work*rs have not yet been able to Jissard their gas masks. , IAPPINS WILL APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT )ne of Trio Convicted of Br&zell Murder Takes Case To Higher Court.
