Cox to Take Active Part inCampaign Candidate Defeated in 1920 Will Have Voice in Selec tion of Next Demo cratic Nominee. Ohio Leaders Divided By MARK SILI.1VAX. Special Hi.patch to The Omaha Bee. Washington, May 3—The position of ex-Governor James M. Cox with re lation to the democratic situation next year, has emerged to a point where it is possible to speak of it with some definiteness. The first ele ment in that situation is that Cox is not going to be what, for example, Parker was after bis disastrous de feat by Roosevelt in 1904. Cox is 0P certainly going to be an active figure next year, and under certain situa tions may be one of the leading fig ures. It would lie far too much to say that he is now one of the more sell- I ous possibilities for the actual nom ination. But it would be too much also to say that even in this respect he is absolutely and definitely ' eclipsed. Omitting the actual none ination. in the field of determining who else the nominee shall lie and in j determining the party's policies, Cox is clearly disposed to he much to the front and probably will succeed in being to the front. Ilumlii by 1910 Defeat Cox's chief handicap is. of course, the obvious one of his severe defeat in 1920. Next to that his principal handicap is his changed relation to his own stale of Ohio. In 1920 Cox was in the governor's chair and was without competition as Ohio's favor ite son in the democratic, conven tion. But due to events which have occurred since 1920, Cox's hold on the Ohio democratic organization has be come much less firm. Some of the Ohio leaders, who were Cox's princi pal friends in 1920 and who were most responsible for getting the nom ination for him, do not now occupy the same relation to him. g0 Some of them are out of politics voluntarily, some of them are out in voluntarily and some have transferred their loyalty to others. Nevertheless, the probability is that Cox will attempt to secure the Ohio delegation of 49 members to the next democratic convention, lie may not secure them .n the sense of ft devoted and persistent following, as he had them in 1920. at the same time, he may be able to secure iho delegation, certainly in a complimen tary sense and possible in the sense that he may be able. In some degree at least, to direct this big state dele gation with relation to the choice of the nominee and to the making of the party platform. ftdvocates l/mune of Nations. In one respect Cox is unique among i he democratic leaders. Next to il son. he Is the most courageous and the most outstanding advocate of the league of nations. If lie were free to speak hi« heart, he would probably not say that he is necessarily for the league in the exact form that Wilson wrote it. Rut he is In favor of America's cooperation with the other nations for the preserving of peace in the spirit of the league of nations, trt a greater degree than any other democratic leader of his rank. The plats that Cox will have in the next democratic national convention will depend a good deal ort what kind of platform the convention wants to adopt with reference to foreign rela tions.

Sun Room Merely an Annex. “Bet the walls of your sun room remain the same as the natural walls of the building, for as you know the sun room is merely an annex of the house no matter how luxurious it might be made.” he said. “The furniture of the sun room should be Wicker, reed, or painted wood. This does not mean the furni ture must be expensive, but the best furniture is the cheapest In the long run.

Washington, May 3—Regulations now being drafted for enforcement jf the supreme court ruling applying tlie prohibition law to foreign ships with in the three mile limit after June 10 were outlined at tlie Treasury depart ment today. The underlying spirit of the regula tions, It was explained, will be sane and reasonable enforrement of the ban with a view to avoiding International complications Insofar as it may be possibly consistent with the law and the court ruling. The principal pro visions will be: 1. To permit foreign vessels to bring in liquors for medicinal pur poses 2. No interference with the privi leges of foreign diplomats to bring in their own liquor supply. 3. .Seizure of foreign ship* bring ing liquor into American ports will not be resorted to except in eases of flagrant violation of the law. Un authorized stocks will Ik* confiscated and heavy penalties imposed In or dinary violations. l imit Medicinal Liquor. The amount of medicinal liquor that may be carried will b« prescribed .n the regulations on the nunil»er of passengers and crew’aboard each ves sel. It will be inquired that au«*h liquor be held in the custody of the ^hip doctor and stored in a safe place. If the restrictions now obtaining with in the United States are extended «o ships, the limit will be one pint per I>eratal not oftener than every 10 days, and then only on a physician's pre scription. It was explained that diplomaticj liquor 1h not exempted by the law or the supreme court decision, but nevertheless, the government policy will he not to disturb a privilege which always has been enjoyed by foreign diplomats in every land. Any other course, it was declared, would violate international comity and dip lomatic usage. Itight to Search \ easels. Whih the power under the Vot stead law to confiscate a vessel vio lating the prohibition statute wilt i*e exercised only in extreme cases, the regulations will make it plain thnt customs and prohibition enforcement authorities have the right to board incoming vessels within the three mils limit upon suspicion or information of liquor illicitly aboard. These officers would make a » areful search of such ships and seize .ill liquors found out side the doctor's custody. It was plainly indicated, however, that the enforcement authorities in the customs service will liave to rely largely on the good faith of the ship ping comiwtnie* to abide by the regu lations So increase can he made In the forces at the various ports, be cause of a lack of funds. Under this condition, it was explained, the de partment must l»e content In doing the best it can. Two Aviators Killed in Fall Near San Diego Kan Ibego. Uul .
