SHORT ANSWER FOR BRANDEGEE of Former German Cargo Carriers Will Continue, Declares Shipping Chief. "* ? ?- 1? " ?. ?i ? ?? I? / . O A L> **A C*1 , 1 A 4 r CU. 1 icomviiv Wilson flatly denied today in a communication to the Senate that he had 5tny agreement or understanding with Kritish officials regarding: disposition of the fleet of former German liners around which since they were offered for sale by the shipping board, has raged a controversy into which Congress, courts and government agen " les have been drawn. "There is not, nor has there been vany agreement or understanding between the President of the United Slates and officials of Great Britain concerning the sale of the ex-German vessels in possession of the United States," Mr. Wilson said, responding specifically to a resolution by Senator Brandegee, Republican, Connecticut, adopted by the senate, "nor is there any agreement or understanding with respect to what disposition shall be made of those ships by the United States. J 4il believe the above information I iully answers the Senate inquiry." i At the same time, however, and '"in order that the Senate may be in possession of all the information there is in any way relating to the vessels in question," the President transmitted a copy of a hitherto unpublished tentative agreement reached in Paris that Germany eventually j ~would be credited before the repara-' tions commission, should Congress ap prove, with any surplus valuation of the ships in excess of merchant tonnage losses of the United States dur- i ing the war. In no case would title . ro the ships themselves pass from the United States, the agreement provided. ! Before Mr. Wilson's message reached the Senate the commerce committee had decided to recommend pasage of the bill drawn by its * n i. T LI.* enairman, oenaior jones, xvepuoiican, Washington, deferring sale of the ships until they shall have been re- ; fitted for commercial service by the ] shipping board and Congress shall have laid down a national shipping : policy. The House merchant marine committee had embarked on an inde pendent inquiry with Chairman John- ; Barton Payne, of the shipping board, 1 j Cf tWid ?

FAMOUS B1RDMAN VISITS COLUMBIA i : i i Lieutenant Maynard and Sergeant ; Saxe Arrive From Camp Bragg. j L . .. The State, 22nd. j Lieut. Belvin W. Maynard, the "flying: parson," leading American aviator, arrived in Columbia late yes- j terday afternoon from Camp Bragg:, Fayetteville, N. C. The trip was made in about three hours, the avia-! tor leaving the Tarheel camp at 1:45 ( o'clock and arriving here shortly be- j fore 5 o'clock. Accompanying Lieutenant Maynard is Sergrt.

On arriving here Lieutenant Maynard flew over the city and then proceeded to Emerson field where he landed. When here last fall the parson came very near n<iviii? a t serious accident on the fair grounds and did not attempt to light there yesterday afternoon. Lieutenant Gaines and Mr. Roddey together with several other men were at the fair grounds awaiting the arrival of the j distinguished birdman, but he gave this field the "once over" and went to the camp field.

After circling over Lieutenant Maynard for several times and giving an "air handshake" Pilot Gaines and Mr. Roddey alighted on Emerson field. The "flying parson" followed and made a safe land- . innr The "parson" arived here several days late, due to the efficiency of a mudhole near Orlando, N. -C., where he spent some time before he could rescue his plane from the North Carolina mud. He left Mineola field at New York several days ago on his Southern tour in the interest of army recruiting. His first stop was at Washington and from there he went to Langley field at Newport News and then to Orlando where he stuck. His flight from Camp Bragg was made . without any trouble, the trip being made against a heavy wind, however. The plane which the "parson" is using is the same one he made the famous transcontinental race in and the one he was flying here last fall when he stopped on his way to Sa- / r\r?o \\ T+ 10 fU vauiiaii* a v 10 vx vii^ uv xia t nauvi type equipped with Liberty motors. ' STORMY SCENE IN SENATE WHEN HITCHCOCK OPENS TREATY TALK Question of Party Responsibility for Deadlock Threshed Out in Military Fashion With Both Sides on Guard. Washington, Feb. 20.?The ques- j ion of party responsibility for the ! >eac*e treaty deadlock was threshed >ver in militant fashion on the Senate !oo>* today with both the Republicans tnd the Democrats seeking to wash : heir hands of the Senate's failure to r ict and of any consequences in the ? olitical campaign. P*Among the things, the debate} rought out a direct disagreement as | o which side originated the bi-par- j isan conference, in which five Demo- j ^ rats and four Republicans sought un- J uccesslullv to work out an agree-; lent, and as to what transpired be- Th ind the closed doors of the confernce sessions. he! I Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the i ^ )emocrat leader, started the flare-up | ^c< y a speech denying- charges that the Pu )emocrats wanted the treaty in the ampaign. He asserted that his party in ad gone "nine-tenths of the way to a ompromise/' and that L . Republi- po' ans had stood solidly for acceptance f their own reservations "without cit he dotting of an i or the crossing of sh< t." It was the minority side, he bo eclared, who had instigated the bi-rsh< artisan movement and who now hadrth( +wr? i>nmnromises on article i Th en reservations which many Republi-j pa an Senators believed were identical j ch n substance with the Lodge reserva-1 ion on that subject. I Mi ! f Senator Lenroot. of Wisconsin, one j. if the mild reservation Republicans, lm harmed that the Democrat ic leader {nf< lad stood out against compromise so|^a leterminedly that the Republicans j vere driven to agree upon the best j ^ compromise they could among them- j selves. Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, speaking for the irreconcilables, declared the two sides were no nearer ^ agreement than they were when the 011 league of nations debate began a year ago tomorrow, and that further discussion was only a waste of time. ai The treaty, he said, already was so, *( +v,n Mmnaicrn that "VOU Can I IHL 1III/W mv ? no more keep it out than you can ! stop half way over Niagara." ^ She (to dentist-lover)?Mother f< will not believe that I come here si about my teeth so often.
