Borah Charges
Public Deceived
on World Court
»_
Idaho Senator Says Only
“Benefit” Would Be Op
portunity to Pay Eu
roupe More Money.
By I'nlvrrml Swt Ire.
Washington, April 13. — The llard
hig-Hughe$-lloover scheme to force
American membership In the world
court was assailed Thursday in a vig
orous statement by Senator Borah.
The senator, as spokesman for the
senate irreconcilahlrtt rharged, in ef
fect, that an effort is being made to
deceive the American people ns to the
benefits supposed to be derived from
membership in the court.
It was charged that the sole ''bene
fit” which can come to the United
States through joining the court will
he an opportunity to pay more money
to Europe for maintaining tTie court.
Wait Seven Years for Vote.
Even the opportunity of voting for
an American representative on the
tribunal cannot be exercised for seven
years, Senator Borah said, because the
court is full and no vacancies exist.
Senator Borah made this plain by
quoting from the speech delivered in
Uos Moines by Secretary Hoover Wed
nesday night, in which it was slated
that all the United States will do if
the court proposal is ratified. Is to
agree to pay part of the running ex
penses of the court and participate in
the selection of judges. '
With fine sarcasm, the senator then
Inquired what satisfaction it would be
to the American housewife now faced
with the threat of 10 cent sugar, to
know that she could help pay the ex
penses of a world court, who has no
jurisdiction whatever over any of the
questions thnt threaten world peace.
Seeking to Cloud Issue.
Senator Borah's most serious
charge was that the administration
is seeking to divert attention from the
real issues which confront the coun
try. He pointed out that there are
questions of far greater importance
to be solved than that of helping to
pay expenses of a useless court in
Europe. He cited, among other things,
the high freight rates, the high cost
of sugar, gasoline, oil and coal, and
the problem of cutting down govern
ment extravagance.
The court as now constituted. Sen
ator BorJh added, is utterly without
power to solve any of the questions
ihat lead to world peace. He termed
it a "consent court,” for the reason
that no question may he taken tip
in it without the consent of all powers
concerned.
Italy Carefully Studying
War Debt to United States I
Rome, April 13.—The Italian gov
ernment, according to an official
statement, is carefully studying the
question of the war debt to the Unit
ed States, and has even gone to the
extent of exchanging views with the
other debtors of America, especial
ly France, although no general agree
ment between such debtor nations
and the United States Is anticipated.
A special commission on the sub
ject may he appointed later, Jt Is said,
but there are no actual plans at pres
ent for the formation of such a body.
Japanese Princess, Hurt
in Auto Crash, Recovers
Taris, April 13.—Princess Kitashira
Kawa. sister of the emperor of Japan,
has so far recovered from the in
juries she received In the automobile
accident near Bernay that she is con
sidered out of danger and will be
brought to Paris from the Bernay
hospital in a few days. Her phy
sicians say that It will not be neccs
sary to operate on one or both of
her legs.
Prince Asaka, who was hurt In the
accident, has improved greatly and is
to be brought here.

what kind of a tombstone he'll have

He also knows just what It's go
ing to say. No. no poetry; nothing
about how "Ed” Creighton, the found
er of the Creighton family, tried to
help start him in business—Just one
line in big capital letters;
"A L'nlon Soldier."
That counts in his life above all
other things, Mr. I-'eenan believes.

Mr. Keenan came to Omaha in 1S67

time there was no other marble shop

He had learned his trade In Iowa

Edward Creighton offered to lend him

Half Dozen Cities
in Running for
C.O.P. Convention
Party Chiefs Discuss Plans for
1924 Campaign—$1,700,
000 Deficit of 1920 De
duced to $.100,000.
By AftMifliitpd Tress.
Washington, April 13.—Preliminary
discussion relative In the 1924 con
vention city of the republican party,
I together with plans to wipe out the
■remainder of the deficit Incurred by
Vie republicans In the 1920 campaign
atid a survey of the general political
sitgiatlon constitute the outstanding
developments of a series of confer
ences with republican leaders con
Cludad here tonight by Fred W. I'p
ham, treasurer of the republican na
tional committee.
Participants in the conferences with
Mr. I pftam Included John T. Adams,
chairman of the republican national
committee who returned to Washing
ton today" after a trip abroad; Secre
taries Weeks and Davis, Hush 1 >. Hol
land, assistant attorney general, and
others prominent In the councils of
the party. Mr. Fpharn, during his
two-day stay in the capital, also has
had two conferences \M*ili President
Ilarding, but at these politics have
been entered upon, it was explained,
only in a general way.
Six Cities A\ant Convention.
The discussions which have been
in progress and which will be con
tinued by Mr. I *pham Friday In New
York with Charles D. Hllles. republi
can national committee man for New
York, and Will U. Hays, former re
publican national chairman, are un
derstood from some of those who saw
the republican treasurer to have de
veloped:
That consideration now Is being
given to six citiesr Chicago, Kansas
City, San Francisco, Cleveland, Wash
ington and Buffalo, as the site for the
1924 convention.
That the deficit of approximately
$1,700,000 resulting from the 1920
campaign has been reduced to about
$300,000 and that steps have been
taken which it is hoped by party
leaders wilt wipe it out completely
by June 1.
That party leaders expect that the
fortunes of the republican party in
1924 may turn largely on the general
business conditions obtaining during
the next 19 months.
Hiseuss Alaskan Trip.
Mr Ijpham, in his conferences w th
President Harding, is understood to
have discussed in some detail the trip
to Alaska contemplated by the execu
tive, but these discussions were of a
nonpolitical nature, the president hav
ing let it be known that he is firmly
opposed to giving the tour a political
tinge. The republican treasurer
asked the president to make an ad
dress in Chicago on his return from
Alaska.
The disrussions relative to the pro
'
posed trip were said to have devel
oped that the president has tenta
tively derided upon about 15 ad
dresses in the west, about six lo lie
made en route to the roast by the
southern route, probably three in
roast rities and some half dozen on
his return eastward by the northern
route. While the rilles to lie visited
by Mr. Harding have not been desig
nated. It was said to be likely that
tho return trip would include ail
dresses at Hpokune and Seattle, Hel
ena, Mont.; some city in South Da
kota. probably Aberdeen, Minneapolis
and St. Paul and Chicago.
No Action l mil December.
In connection with the preliminary
consideration given to selection of the
1924 convention city, It was empha
sized that no definite action will he
taken until the December meeting of
the republican national committee. All
of the six cities mentioned are press
ing their informal Invitations vigor
ously and two or three others have
indicated their desire to be considered.
Chicago has been the convention eity
continuously since 1904 and Mr. Cp
hatn is urging it for 1924. Home party
leaders, however, are known to favor
a change. Sun Francisco is strongly
presenting its rlaim and recently has
set about raising a guarantee fund,
but there nre those who do not favor
going to the coast because of the dis
tance which many of the delegates
would have to travel.
Many of those who desire (hat the
party continue to meet In a centrally
located city, hut do not look with
favor on Chicago are inclined toward
Kansas City or Cleveland, and some
believe the convention should he held
in Cleveland as a compliment to Pres
ident Harding. Although the presi
dent has not Indicated his views defi
nitely. there Is understood to be a
feeling In the minds of leaders that he
might feel that such selection would
convey tho appearance of an attempt
to influence the convention

more than $4,500 worth of loot taken
from 15 persons despite the vigilance
of the police department's new motor
bike patrol.

the holdups forced their way into the
magnificent home of lOdward 1'pdike,
52. 204 North Fifty-second street, and
robbed him and Mrs. Fpdike of $100
worth of goods, and their guests, Mr.

Commissioner Dan Butler.
Although the bandits were not cap

work.
Mis. Smith, 'a < harming woman of

to the bandits.
Ifarding Shakes Hands,
Senator Warren O. Harding, now
president, at Hotel Konten^ile on the
night of October 7, 1920, walked up
to Mrs. Smith and asked to shake
hands.
“I saw you while I was speaking
at the Auditorium.” he said, “and you
were an inspiration for my speech, I
talked to you as you sat in the third
row',”
The bandits were not so polite.
“Get hark in there, get back,” he
commanded ns lie shoved a gun in
her face last night after she opened
the door and she and Mr. Smith were
preparing to leave after a brief call
on the Updikes.
"Line up over there by the fire
place," he ordered as Mrs. Smith re

sleeve. Mrs Smith, in quarter sleeves
and gloves, tried to get her rings off,

“I,et me keep this.” Mrs. Updike

'years ago.

They were taken.
“Maybe we'll give bmk some of he
