SKIT WOMBISUGHHY HURT Considerable Confusion Prevailed aa Result of Fake Tickets Being Is- \_.wmd by Speculators--Crowds- ; Not Skillfully Handled. Rome, Feb. 14.--Dawn found th|; vast piazza of San Pietro already: crowded by picturesque, multicolored thousands anxious to witness the coronation of the great spiritual ruler of the world. Cordons of Bersaglierl, four deep, with their traditional feathers making a brave show on the steel helmets, were drawn up across the piazza, allowing only those with admission cards to enter the basilica. At the left of the piazza cavalrymen of the Royal Piedmont regiment were an imposing spectacle. !, • Considerable confusion prevailed and the crowds were not skillfully handled, resulting In several "rushes" and an incipient panic. The cosmopolitan assemblage of monks, priests, capuchins, Franciscans, nuns and students of all nations, in their characteristic cassocks ranging from the flaming scarlet of the Germans to the black or violet of than Americans, produced a wonderful color scheme. A limited number of tickets had been Issued, In order to avoid overcrowding, but the vast number of card bearers justified the suspicion that unscrupulous speculators had issued fake tickets when the demand became frantic. There were offers of thousands of lire from rich Americans and others anxious to witness the coronation at any price. The sun, streaming Into the Vatican basilica, which was packed with more than 100,000 people, illuminated a spectacle worthy of the centuries-old pontifical splendor. At 8:30 the pope assumed' the pontifical robes and mitre in the sacristy adjoining the chapel of the Holy Sacrament, seating himself on the ihrohe, surrounded by the cardinals. Merry Del Val, the archpriest of the basilica, pronounced the congratulatory address, afterward kissing the pope's head and foot and receiving the papal embrace. All the other members of the Vatican chapter of bishops and clergy performed the same obeisance. Then the pope descended from the throne and proceeded to the chape) to worship the blessed sacrament. The papal cortege, Issuing from the chapel of the blessed sacrament, up the central nave, formed a unique old world spectacle. It was led by the Swiss Guards, carrying halberds. They were followed by the procurators of the sacred college; the apostolic preacher, the papal confessor, with scarlet liveried attendants ; Mgr. Canorl, the papal master of robes, carrying, on a red cushion, the triple cross and escorted by pontifical Jeweler Tanfani; chaplains, carrying precious mitres; red-robed private chamberlains; the auditor of rote, carrying the pontifical cross, surrounded by gentlemen ushers carrying red rods. u Following the cardinals came Marc Antonio Collona, prince assistant to the papal throne; ine Marquis Sacchettl, the "toriere maglore" of the apostolic palaces; the Marquis Serlupi, master of horse; Prince Massimo, who is related to the king of Italy and who is the papal postmaster general; Monsignor Respeghi, the prefect of ceremonies. Then, surrounded by a sunlit halo, appears the gestatorlal chair on which is seated the pope, surrounded by the "tlabelli," mace-bearers and Swiss guards in full armor; Prince Aldobrandlni, commander of the Noble guards, the commanders of the papal gendarmes, the Swiss and Palatine guards. Despite the strict prohlbitfteijagainst applause, the crowd set op a^treat shout: "Viva 11 Papa; viva Plo Undoclmo." The great pressure of the crowd caused the wooden palisades to collapse and numerous persons were thrown headlong at the pope's feet. Sixty women were slightly injured. The pope appeared extremely fatigued. He gave the blessing with a wide, gesture, indicating weariness. The pope then celebrated the solemn pontifical mass, pronouncing the prayei-, "Pro seipso," which means "For himself." The. silver trumpets again sounded when the pope raised his head. There was a moment of Intense emotion when the pontiff thrice pronounced the words "Dominee non Sum Dignus," meaning "My <2ocl, l I B n w o r t b y . " ' 1 r , According to Don Manuel C. Telles, charge d'affaires of the Mexican embassy In Washington, the Obregon government has spent between two and a half and three million dollars In aiding 45,000 Mexican' families destitute in the United States because Of unemployment.

President SlAMtils Pacts of Arms se-rjlaet an* Asks Prompt : ^ Approval. 80 EOTMaBIENTS FOR U. S No Allianes or Involvement Which ft* quires America to Surrender Any Worth-While T radition -- Con* tains No War Commitment Washington, Feb. 13.--President Harding on Friday submitted the seven treaties of the arms conference tt) the senate and asked "prqiupt approval" of them. With the treaties he submitted the report of the American delegation and the minutes of both the plenary aapsious and the committee meetings of the conference. v The President asserted there is in the treaties "no entanglement alliance, or involvement which require* the United States to surrender any worth-while tradition." "I am not unmindful," he said, "nor was the confevence unmindful, of the Sentiment in this chamber against old world entanglements. "But 1 can bring every assurance that nothing in these treaties commits the United States, or any other power to any kind of an alliance, entanglement or involvement It does aot requi/% us to surrender a worthwhile tradition." The treaties-the President submitted were: The four-powered Pacific treaty, which replaces the Anglo-Japanese alliance. The supplementary treaty to this pact, taking the Japanese homeland out of Its provisions. The five-powered treaty that limits the size of navies. $ ^ The five-powered poison gas ud submarine treaty. The nine-powered Chfhese treaty. The nine-powered Chinese customs treaty. A treaty covering American rights In mandated territories (Yap treaty). The President defended the fourpowered treaty which replaces the Anglo-Japanese alliance and to which already much senatorial opposition has been manifested. "The four-powered treaty contains no war commitment," he said. "There is no commitment to armed force, no alliance, no written or moral obligation to join In, or arrive at any agreement except in accordance with oar constitutional methods." The treaty, he said, was a mutual pledge on the part of the four powers to respect their insular possessions. The President described the nact as a "moral warning" to the world that the four great powers of the Pacific would protect the peace of those waters. It Is now up to the senate, he said, as the executive branch of the government has done Its work, and much depends on the senate's decision--if it is against "these advanced expressions of conscience, then it will be futile to try again." The senate's concern for freedom from entanglements, the President said, was never once forgotten by the American delegation. The President said that If the senate turned down the treaties "the republic would be discredited, future peace efforts rendered futile and unlikely, and discouragement would be written where there Is now world hope." .
