COOLIDGE TRIES TO PUT PEACE PACTTHROU6H President Urges Treaty, While Reed Obstructs Its Passage. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—President Coolidge tried to lend a pacifying hand in the naval cruiser Kellogg anti-war treaty situation in the senate today but for matters so far developing he found his control. While the foreign relations committee again was delaying action on the treaty and while threats were being made against the naval bill, Mr. Coolidge summoned to the White House, Senator Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota, one of the mild reservationists. Mr. Coolidge told Shipstead he hoped the treaty would be speedily reported out by the committee and ratified by the senate without unofficial reservations proposed by the Reed-Moses group. Adjourn Senate Shipstead returned to the committee meeting to find Senator James A. Reed of Missouri insisting on the reservations in a speech lasting so long the committee was unable to reach a vote on the treaty. The session therefore adjourned until Tuesday. It developed Mr. Coolidge conferred Saturday with Senators McLean and Hiram Johnson along the same lines at in the Shipstead conference. But the situation about the treaty and the naval bill appeared to be growing worse instead of better. Senator K;'"g of Utah told the United Press he intended to fight to keep the naval bill from consideration in the senate until the treaty can be ratified. He is opposed to the naval bill. Naval Bill Near Vote Chairman Hale of the naval committee was trying to line up his votes to get the naval bill up this afternoon, hoping to vote down King’s threatened coup against the measure. Amicable settlement of the difficulties seemed improbable, although leaders were exerting all possible efforts to avoid a clash between the two measures. Meantime senate Democrats were arguing over prohibition and Senator Hawes (Dem.) Missouri, was waiting to start debate on the unfinished business, the Hawes-Cooper prison labor bill. He expects a vote before night and as soon as his bill is out of the way Hale intends to move consideration of the navy bill. The house was occupied with the agriculture department appropriation bill. Fight Over Request The cruiser bill, carrying authorizations for fifteen new 10,000-ton cruisers and an aircraft carrier to be built in the next three years at a cost of $174,000,000, has been given first place on the Republican program after the Hawes-Cooper prison labor bill passes. The prison bill is expected to require but a few hours for debate. The crux of the navy fight is over President Coolidge’s request that the three-year time limit provision be eliminated, delaying actual work of construction. The senate almost unanimously has been in favor of what it chooses to call “a steel navy.” There is a report that the antiwar treaty will be pushed to supplant the naval bill. Peace organizations have been advocating such a plan. Republican leaders have planned to let the treaty be considered next after the naval cruiser bill, and they have indicated they will prevent any attempt to sidetrack the cruiser measure. A plea to push the treaty as fast as possible was presented to Borah before the meeting by the Rt. Rev. William F. McDowell and Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas. It was signed by prominent educators, clergy and citizens. SEEK OWNER OF CAR Police Search for Driver of Coupe, Deserted After Crash. Police today were investigating the ownership of a Ford coupe bearing license number 700-084 which was wrecked in front of 2732 Madison avenue Sunday afternoon. The car does not contain a certificate of title slip to show ownership. An investigator reported a bullet hole in the left side of the car and that shortly after the accident a woman inquired in the neighborhood as to the condition of “the young man who was hurt.” The injured youth did not give his name and disappeared immediately following the accident.

CONSISTORY IS HELDBY POPE Cardinals Meet in Rome to Hear Message. Bn United Pr 88 ROME, Dec. 17.—Pope Pius held a secret consistory at the Vatican today. In his allocution to the cardinals, he expressed pleasure with the success of the recent eucharistic congress at Sydney, N. S. W. All of the cardinals who now are in Rome were present. The cardinals, with their attendants, entered the consistorial hall immediately after their arrival at the Vatican in their automobiles and closed carriages. They awaited the pope’s arrival there, chatting with each other. The pope, accompanied by his Swiss guard and members of t'ne noble guard, entered the hall. A bell had announced his arrival. He advanced to the throne in the front of the room. A short prayer was said by his holiness and Monsignor Cacci-Do-minoni, master of the papal household, gave the signal for all except the members of the sacred college to retire. When the pope and his cardinals were closeted alone, he read his allocution to them and then left the hajl. accompanied by his court. Customarily, two consistories are held each year, one on Tuesday and a pubic one the following Thursday, but as no cardinals were to be created this year, the pope will omit the public sessions and moved the secret consistory up to Monday.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

GILDA DENIES SHE WILL WED HERMANAGER Husband Charges Dancer and Theater Aid Lived Together in London. By United Press NEW YORK. Dec. 17.—The New York Daily News published a copyrighted article by John Chapman today which said that Gil Boag, husband of Gilda Gray, had accused the motion picture actress of having “requently and habitually committed misconduct” with her manager, C. D. Krepps. The Daily News said it had received its information from Port Washington, Wis., where Boag is now staying. Miss Gray arrived from Europe Sunday and denied she would marry Krepps, the newspaper said. Devoted to Her Art “Ridiculous.” she was quoted as having said. “It may be the custom in America for famous actresses and prima donnas to marry their managers, but as far as I’m concerned, I do not follow customs. “My divorce action is going through. I’m going to get rid of him (Boag) quick, and I’m not going to marry for some time. I'm devoted to my art.” Miss Gray boarded a train for Chicago where she will visit her parents—who are named Michalski and not Gray—and then she will go to Milwaukee to see her 14-year-old son by her first marriage. The Daily News said Krepps formerly was an usher in a Chicago motion picture theater. Now he is said to earn S4OO a week as Miss Gray’s manager. Miss Gray May File Suit

While Miss Gray’s divorce suit is on file in Port Washington there was a report current today that Boag would sue for divorce in New York. Boag was quoted as having said that Miss Gray had no legal right to file suit in Port Washington. because she was a resident of New York. Boag, who at various times has conducted night clubs here, married M*i:s Gray in 1924, after he had brought her here from Chicago and helped her attain a prominent place in the theatrical world. She was first married to John Gorecki, said to have been a bartender in Cudahy, Wis. The Daily News said Boag’s answer charged that Miss Gray and Krepps lived together at the Piccadilly hotel in London while Miss Gray was making a motion picture, “Piccadilly.” Krepps arrived from London on the boat with Miss Gray.
