SPEEDY WORK ON TREATIES URGED Special Senate Session May Take Action, Bv United Preee WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Spec’.al session of the Senate called by the President to meet March 4, primarily to confirm appointments, may hold over long enough to act on the Lausanne treaty, early ratification of which Is desired by the Administration. Swift confirmation of Ambassador Kellogg to be secretary of State after March 4 cut down the number of appointments on which the special session may have to pass to three— Charles B. Warren, to ba attorney general; Thomas F. Woodlock, to be a member of the Interstate commerce commission, and W. B. Humphrey to be member of the Federal trade commission. * There Is an even possibility that these nominations can be confirmed before March 4, leaving the special session the alternative of hearing General Charles Dawes make his inaugural address as Vice President and immediately adjourning or, sitting a few days to clear up some pending foreign questions.
