MAY NOT RATIFY TREATIES

Senator Bacon Thinks Senate May Take No Action Washington, Aug. 11. —Senator Bacon (Ga.), who is one of the chief objectors to the arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France, recently negotiated, expressed doubt as to whether the,treaties would be ratified at the extra session of congress. He contends that the treaties take away from the senate the power conferred upon it by the constitution, in that they deny it the right to say whether or not each international question shall be submitted to arbitration.
