LENROOTPUTS
PLAN BEFORE
U. S. SENATE
Movement to Force Entrance
Without Connection With
League Launched .
Universal Service
Washington, Dee. 10.—The Lenroo-i
■resolution introduced in the senate
Monday to force the United States in
to the World Court was disclosed as
the handiwork of Secretary of State
Hughes.
It attempts to provide an entrance
:for the United States into the court
without connection with the League
■of Nations, but the court named in
the resolution is the same, court which
.Hughes sought to have the United
states join while Harding was presi
-dent.
Lenroot discussed the resolution
■with Hughes before he introduced it
dn the senate. It is understood that
■the text of the resolution has Hughes*
Approval, despite the fact that its
language seeks to strip the court from
Any form of dictation or direction bj
the league.
Claimed Authority.
When Lenroot Introduced the re
solution Monday he claimed personal
Authorship, and declared that he
sspoke for no one in the administra
tion.
It was authoritatively disclosed
Monday night, however, that the
(resolution was taken up with Hughes,
And that the administration “will
-offer no objection to it.” In
:form, at least, the resolution Is an
Administration measure and will have
Administration backing.
It became known also that Lenroot
bad the preparation of such a resolu
tion in mind when he fought for a
■place on the foreign relations com
unittee of the senate, which has
jurisdiction over all such proposals.
He won this committee place Monday
when the assignments made by the
“old guard” committee on committees
-was adopted by the senate.
Lodge Backs Down. ’
An “Irreconcilable” senator who
•opposed Lenroot’s assignment to the
•committee informed Lodge and others
that Lenroot already had his World
Court resolution prepared. Loclige,
■chairman of foreign relations, and
An opponent of the World Court, at
.first took the position that Lenroot
should not be added to the committee.
He weakened, however, when tol<\
that rumors were being circulated
that he was having the committee
'“stacked” against the World Court,
And that if Lenroot were denied the
place he migtht carry the fight to the
•senate. Thus Lenroot was put on
the committee, with the whole pow
er of the administration, including
President Coolidge and Secretary
Hughes, both Warld Court advocates,
behind him.
With Lenroot, Willis of Ohio and
"Pepper of Pensylvania, addedi to the
■committee, the "lrreconcilables” have
lost control because all but one of
the seven democrats are also World
Court and League of Nations sup
porters. Republican members be
sides Lenroot, Willis and Pepper are:
Lodge, Borah, Brandtegc®, Johnson
-of California, Moses, McCormick, and
"Wadsworth. Of this number, Borah,
"Moses and McCormick cannot be
surely counted to remain “irrecon
-ciiable” if the World Court proposal
is presented in a form they can
Accept. They will agree to it, if as
Aured it lhas no connection with the
league of Nations.

IOWA SOLONS
FACE BIG TASK
Much Time Needed io
Straighten Out Various
Code Revision Bills
Des Moines, la., Dec. 10—Members
of the various committees of the leg
islature in special session here Mon
day night could be heard to declare
as they left committee meetings,
that much time will be needed to se
cure agreement on bills to come be
fore the session before they can be
presented for action in the chambers,
due to the necessity of proceeding
slowly and the large number and in
volved nature of the bills. It is be
coming apparent that the task be
fore the speciall session is greater
than all but a few of the legislators
surmised. Many bills contain hun
dreds of sections, some merely group
ing into sections while others make
distinct changes in the law.
The hills on drainage, motor ve
hicles, department of agriculture and
state printing are examples of the
involved measures before the ses
sion. The drainage bill contains 265
sections and the handling of such
measures in committees is proving
a giant task.
The judiciary committee of the
house was in session two and one
half hours Monday and was able to
report little progress. The senate
voted to meet at 9 o’clock Tuesday
in order to have more time for com
mittee work. The week largely will
he taken up with committee work, il
was stated.

“OLD GUARD”
LOSES IN FIRST
TEST OF POWER
LaFollette Bloc Wins First
Round in Fight Over
Committees
BY JAMES R. NOURSE
Universal Service Correspondent
Washington, Dec. 10.—Insurgency
won the honors in the first tussla be
tween the LaFolIette bloc In the
senate and the republicans "old
guard” when the latter attempted to
complete organization of the com
mittees 'Monday.
LaFolIette wa» absent, but hlj fol
lowers, seven In number, succeeded
in clogging the machinery which was
all set to give the "old guard” com
plete control over all the senate com
mittees and the much-prized chair
manships.
The insurgents concentrated their
attack upon the resolution sent up by
the republican committee on commit
tees, naming Senator Cummins as
chairman of the Interstate Commsree
committee, which he has held ever
since the democrats lost control of
the senate in the 1918 elections.
LaFolIette Wants Placa
LaFolIette wants that chairmanship
because of the power it would give
him over railroad legislation, parti
cularly his pet desire to have the
Each-Cummins law wiped off,the
statute ' books. If Cummins should
retire jor be defeated in his fight to
retain the chairmanship, LaFolIette,
being next in line, would step In to
succeed trim.
Accordingly, when Senator Brandegee
offered the report from the committee
on committees. Senator Wheeler,
democrat, of Montana exercised his
right to have a separate roll call on
this particular committee, thus bring
ing to an issue the question of
whether or not Cummins was to hold
on.
On three successive ballots, Cum
mins failed to get a majority of those
voting, so the- “old guard” was com
pelled to give up the fight for the day
and turn to other business. It will
be renewed Tuesday, with indications
that neither side will weaken. In case
an election Is not possible, Cummins
will hold the chairmanship by suffer
ance, it being the rule of the senate
that a chairman holds until his suc
cessor Is chosen, unless LaFolIette and
his supporters devise some new
method cf dislodging him.
LaFolIette received seven votes on
each of the three ballots taken. They
were cast by Brookhart, Frazier
Howell, Ladd and Norris, republicans,
and Shipstead and Magnus Johnson,
farmer-labor. The remainder of the
republicans voted solidly for Cum
mins, while the democrats cast their
votes for Senator Ellison D. Smith, of
South Carolina, who preceded Cum
mins as chairman.
On the first ballot Cummins re
ceived 41 votes, Smith 39 votes and
LaFolIette 7. The second ballot was:
Cummins 39; Smith 38; LaFolIette 7;
and the third was the same as the
first. The change on the second bal
lot was due to the absence of Pepper
and Warren, who voted for Cummins,
and Overman, who supported Smith.
Forty-four votes were necessary to
effect a choice.
Cummins, who had been presiding,
gave up the chair to Brandegee.
while the fight was on.
Lodge Coles Fight.
At the end of the third ballot,
Lodge called the fight off for the day.
suggesting an executing session, fol
lowed by adjournment in memory of
ten member* of the house who died
since adjournment.
Preparation to continue the fight
when the senate assembles Tuesday
were made by all three factions.
Lodge declared the “old guard” was
not worried by the situation, for if
no choice is made on any bellot, Cum
mins will still hold the chairmanship
and LaFolIette will be kept out of it,
which is the principal thing the “old
guard” desires.
Senator Robinson, democratic lead
er, admitted that democrats could
make an election possible if a suf
ficient number on that side absented
themselves from the chamber while
the ballot was taken to enabled Cum
mins to gain a majority of those vot
ing. He declared, however, the demo
crats will not do this, but will keep
on voting for Smith as long as the
republicans are unable to agree.

DAME RUMOR
PRESIDES AT
BALL PARLEY
Moguls of National Pastime
Do Much Talking—Fail
to Act %
BY A. J. LORENZ
Universal Service Correspondent
Chicago, Dec. 10.—Madame Rumor
Monday appeared !n the role of a
maternal great aunt of baseball. In
fact, she worked overtime at the
convention of the moguls of the game
so that she presided at the dinner ta
ble as dowager.
Some 1,200 managers. owners,
backers, scouts and captains of the
sport spent the first day of their
meeting playing a guessing game
with 75 scribes.
There were a few other matters
selettd definitely. Among them was
the election of Christy Matlifwson
as a director of the National league.
The other new directors are Charles
H. Ebbets of Brooklyn, Barney
Dreyfuss of Pittsburg, and William
Veeck of Chicago,
Many Conundrum*
Among the conundrums proponed
were these:
Will High Commissioner Kenesaw
M. Landis' high powered steam roll
er he geared down to slower speed,
and the white haired arbiter be
shorn of much of his Sarnson-ltke
power?
Will Eddie Collins manage Wash
ington next season?
Who'll land Lee from Tulsa?
How will Urban Shocker and
George Staler get along In the same
fould with a beautiful feud hanging
over them?
Who owns the Seattle club?
Will the Syracuse franchise cross
the border?
Some of the riddles were answered
in a sphinx-like way by those most
Intimately concerned with them.
League to Back Browns
Walter Fritsch, vice president of
the Browns, openly agreed with 9is
ler, his new manager, that Shocker
will not be traded or released. Shock
er's case is still to he decided by
Commissioner Landis. No matter
how the American league will back
up the Browns, was the report.
The two hour conference between
Ban Johnson and John A. Heydler
which was held behind closed doors
with triple seals, led to the p-o
poundlng of the Samson-Lnndls rid
dle. The American and National
league chiefs, it was said, wore dis
cussing their future relations with
the commissioner. Both are said
to be ready to unpack their grouch
against Landis later in the week.
They even became pointedly per
sonal when Ban Johnson said: “No
body but the president of the Amer
can league will handle the umpires
in that circuit."
Heydler merely smiled, but said
nothing.
8hortstops Hava Innings
Shortstops had their Inning right
at the start Monday.
Shortstop Lee of Tulsa, it would
seem, is much in demand. Four ma
jor league clubs were carrying con
tracts for him. The Cubs' contract
was reported plainly visible in Bill
Klliifer's back pocket. Cub scouts
have trailed him ever since he be
gan to hit. The Browns, however,
are very friendly with the Tulsa
club.
Frank Chance never came out of
his quarters in the Auditorium,
across the street from the meeting
place of the moguls. Jack Dunn,
the manager of the Baltimore Ori
oles, was reported having offered
the White Sox manager his star
shortstop, Joe Boley. Chance, with
New York and Washington inter
ested, is said to have offered Eddie
Collins to any team for a proper
price.
Connie Mack offered a bit of ex
citement when he announced that
he had purchased Fred Bishop, Bal
timore second baseman, "for a medi
um price.”
New Managers suggested
Clark Griffith, president of the
Washington club, said there was no
truth In the report that Kddle Col
lins will manage the Senators. Then
he added cryptically: “The Idea,
though Is good and one that I hadn’t
thought of."
New managers for the St. Paul
team also were suggested—but none
picked.
Donnie Bush of Indianapolis, and
late manger ot the Senators, said he
felt that he would make a good man
ager for St. Paul and put in his bid.
Then the name of Jack Daubert of
Portland, Ore., was mentioned for
the same job at a $50,000 figure.
Moran denied the latter tip.
The Western Deague held its an
nual meeting, with Al Tearney In the
president's chair, despite reports that
he would be asked Ip resign by «
strong faction opposing him.
The Southern Deague, however, not
only re-elected John D. Martin as
president, but increased his salary
from $7,500 to $9,000 per annum.
The big business of the moguls, il
was reported, will not be transacted
until Wednesday. Until then the win
ter side of the summer pastime is to
be played as dame rumor’s guessing
game.
