I GIVEN * SETBACK Must Give Service to Subscrib er Who Refused to Pay Charge Por Toll Call—Held to Be Farfetched. Barg.-nt. Neb., Sept. 16,—The Crown over Telephone Company, of this place, has been ordered by the state railway commission to restore the telephone on Patrick Sullivan’s farm that it re moved because be would not pay a 10 cent toll charge the company sought to collect. It must do this without any expense to Sullivan and it must forego the collection of the 10 cent charge. The commission says that it is not in fayor of telephone mooching, but that in this case the company made a far-fetched interpretation of the rule relating to calls by or for non-subscrib ers. Sulivan's son telephoned to town for a veterinary surgeon, and at the pame time told the doctor that a neigh bor also desired his services. The company said this waa a misuse of the phone, and when Sullivan re fused to pay the 10 cents took out his phone.

CONVICTED ATTORNEY TO ASK FOR A REHEARING Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 15. — Arthur J. Koenig-steln, formerly county attor ney of Madison county, has asked the supreme court for a rehearing of the case In which that tribunal affirmed his conviction on the charge of taking protection money from women keepers of bawdy houses in Norfolk. The Koenigsteins are prominent In north eastern Nebraska, and tne case against Arthur lias been in court for four or five years. A previous conviction was overturned. His attorneys insist that the supreme court ignored or overlooked the fun damental law in permitting the evi dence of the worrian complainant taken in the first ease to bo read in the sec ond trial without the requirements that the courts have always said should first be met. They say that the lawless elements of the city con spired to ruin Koenigstein because ho had prosecuted and convicted a num ber of them, through his brother, who served during his absence. A number of errors of the court in misreading the evidence, whereby it reached a wrong conclusion as to the fairness of his’ trial, are alleged. They close with this appeal: “If this opinion is permitted to stand and this ease affirmed for the reasons stated in the opinion, a great wrong will have been done the plaintiff and a rule will have been announced which is not the law in any jurisdiction In any English speaking country or state. If right is to prevail in this case, a re hearing must be granted."

COMPLAIN ABOUT HAY SUPPLIED AT STOCK YARDS Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 15.—J. M. Calk ins, big ranch owner of Knox county, has promised the state railway com-, mission that he will file a formal com plaint against the Union Stockyards at Omaha, alleging that they sold him rotten hay that sickened his cattle and caused him considerable loss when marketed.

The company says that its instructions are to buy only first grade upland hay, but that it was not always possible during the shortage period of the past year to get it.

HALED BEFORE Thronged Galleries Witness First Open Consideration of Treaty In Nation’s History— Jones Makes First Speech. Washington., Sept. 16.—“I call up the treaty 04' peace with Ger many. J ’ v With these words, Senator Lodge^ehai rraan of-the foreign re lations committee, today formally opened the discussion in the Sen ate of the peace treaty as reported by the committee. For the first time in the Senate’s history, a great treaty was consid ered in open session, before thronged galleries instead of be hind closed doors. Immediately after Lodge had for mally made the treaty the Senate busi ness the first gun in a marrage of speeches from the democratic side of the chamber in favor of unqualified ratification was fired in a speech by Senator Jones, New Mexico. Jones, one -qt the treaty's most ardent supporters, will be followed tomorrow by Senator Overman, North Carolina, also In favor of its ratification as It now Is. Six Week’s Debate. From now until the final vote has been taken on ratification the treayt will remain the Senate’s unfinished business, taking precedence over all else. Senators today estimated that the debate upon it will consume from four to six weeks. Lodge also put Into the record a copy of the treaty with Austria, with the allied note telling Austria to take the treaty just as it was written. Lodge said he was given he treaty by a Chi cago newspaper. He anounced thai following Jone’s speech he would ask that the Austrian pact be read. Gallery room in the Senate was at a premium today. Many spectators left in disappointment when they learned that instead of being treated to a view of the Senate at work on the momen tous document, they would be com pelled. if they stayed, to listen to a speech. Assails Treaty Enemies. Senator Jones, to whom flell the chance of making the first formal speech after the treaty was called up, declared opponents of the League of Nations "poison the public mind with insidious declamation.” ”1 have given to this covenant of the League of Nations all the careful an alytical and calm consideration of which I am capable, and I fail to find anything which even tends to justify these invectives which have been di rected against it,” he said. “I can un derstand how the wisdom of some of the provisions of this covenant may be drawn in question, but ther should be no difference of opinion as to the cre ation of a super government to which we shall surrender our sovereignty.” Such a super government may cofe, but "the time has not yet arrived” said Jones. He took up the covenant by article and declared the -objections raised against various provisions aro not , supported by the covenant's language. McCumber's Report. Earlier in the day. Senator McCum ber, North Dakota, presented his in dividual report on the treaty as a mem ber of the foreign relations committee. Scoring the committee reservations to Article X of the League of Nations covenant, Senator McCumber said it really is an amendment “pure and sim ple’’ and designeed to make the United States entirely out of the league. He expressed opposition to the pro posed amendment to the Shantung pro vision. By this amendment, he said, Japan would be “kicked out" of the league by the United States end Shan tung possibly lost to China. Calling attention to what he termed the failure of the majority to explain the purposes of the league, Senator McCumber said: "Not one word is said concerning ei ther the great purpose of the League of Nations or the methods by which those purposes are to be accomplished. Irony and sarcasm have been substi tuted for argument. It is regreted that the consideration of a matter so foreign to partisanship should be Influ enced by hostility towards or subser viency to the president.” Hits Johnson Amendment. Senator McCumber said that the amendment to give the United States equal votes in the league with England and the British colonies was ‘'unnec essary." The plan of giving each member na tion one vote without regard to size or importance, was the only possible plan, the senator argued, adding that to all intents and purposes the British colonies are independent. Criticises Lodge. Senator McCumber said his only ob jection to the Lodge reservation on withdrawal from the league was of form. As to the Lodge reservation to Article X, Senator McCumber said he had many objections. "hirst—It is an amendment pure and simple." he said, "Qf the most import ant article in the league. Its purpose is to take the United States, as a power for >the ineaee of the world.'out of the league entire)}’. "Second—It places this count -y in a false and wrong position:, an attitude of encouraging powerful countries to Inflict or impose any wrong upo weak er nations by our declared policy of non-intervention.” With his report Serutor McCumber eubrr. .ted the six 1 ese.wati one he champions as substitutes for commit tee reeervati. ns.

The signers declare that every day of delay in ratifying tho treaty puts the world in “imminent peril of new war.” Wars Not Ended, He Tells Close Army Friends—Points to Mexico and Japanese Militarism. Washington, Sept. 16.—According to a remarkable articel in tho Washington Post today General Pershing, though he has not talked for publication, has expressed his views on the League of Nations and on preparedness to close army friend. He has told them tho league will not prevent war and tho United States must look to its own fighting strength. He thinks there is a great danger of another war. He regards intervention in Mexico as unavoidable and has ad vised his staff to be prepared for ac tion there. But he looks on Japan with its excessive militarism as most f* dangerous. In this connection, it appears Japan y wanted to go into Russia alone against the bolshevists but made extreme ter ritorial demands in Asia, as the price of this work. Pershing has been un willing to talk for publication on any matters relating to politics or interna tional affairs but to old'army friends he has, the Post says, made no secret of his views.
