Lodge Refuses
to Lead Fight
1 on World Court
IMassachusetts Senator Ex
presses Belief That Differ
ences Within Republican
Party W ill Be Adjusted.
By International News Service,
Washington, April 3k. — Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts,
who hart been expected to lead the
fight In tlie senute against the acuept
anee of President Harding's proposal
to mako the T'nited States a member
of the international court of justice,
declined tonight to go to war agaitnst
the administration and expressed phe
believe that differences within the're
publican party over the court pro
gram would he adjusted.
Lodge's position was revealed in a
letter to Governor Arthur M. Hyde
of Missouri, who had urged him. as
the republican chairman of the sienate
foreign relations committee, to "pre
vent the disaster to the nation and
the paily."
It was the first public expression
that' has come from Senator Lodge
Since Mr. Harding, in his New York
speech on Tuesday, came ,out for
American participation In the world
court.
Desires Success of Party.
"I most earnestly desire the success
of the republican party and am eydal
ly desirous that President Harding
should he renominated and re-elected,"
Lodge declared in his letter. "When
the subject of the legaue court has
been fully discussed and considered
I hope and believe that a satisfactory
adjustment will be reached."
Senator Lodge said he believed the
profit mass of the American people
were in full accord with the determi
nation of President Harding that the
league of nations "is not for us."
"Nothing could have induced me
to vote for the covenant of the league
of nations which Mr. YVilson laid be
fore the senate on July 10, 1819,” he
continued. "But I voted twice in favor
of the treaty with the reservations
adopted by the senate. As I have
watched during the past three, years
|he performances and futilities of the
league of nations. I have become con
vinced that It was fortunate that
the senate rejected it and that R is
the best for the world, for the cause
6t" world peace and for the American
people that the United States should
Dot, under any circumstances, be
come a memtter of the league.
Proposal L'p to Senate,
i ”tn the plan now Inefore us, the
permanent court of international jus
tice is not to lie formed by the na
tions Independently, but ta to beithe
I .*
court already erected by the coun
ell and assembly of the league of na-'
jtions, and this fact, as is already ob
| vious. will lead to much discussion
: and itw-wlll have to be decided
1 whether the senate will assent to ac
cepting the court as proposed and
chosen by the league."
It berame apparent here tonight
that until President Harding leates
■Washington in June for his western
tour the campaign to win support for
the administration's program will be
conducted through correspondence and
in conference behind closed doors.
Thus far only two members of the
president's party—Senator Wiljiam K.
Borah of Idaho and Senator Robert
M. Lai Follette of Wisconsin—have
protested audibly against Mr. Hurd
ing’s plans.

House of David
Grave to Give lip
Gruesome Secret
Sexloii of Cemetery Says
Young Girl Buried When
Certificate Recorded s
Aged Woman.
By International Newt* Service.
St. Joseph, Mich, ApriX 28.—Sheriff
•ieorge Bridgman tonight ordered an
investigation into the reported
mysterious burial in an unknown, tin
marked grave in the cemetery of the
House of Bavid. of a former member
of the colony.
The body was buried, according to
the records, as “Mary Kirkham. 68,
cause of death apoplexy." The grave
will be opened and its secret cleared
up, according to deputy sheriffs.
The investigation was ordered after
Clarence Pullen, with much hesitation
and fear, told of the strange discovery
of "Mary Kirkham's” body to deputy
sheriffs who went to Cryetall Springs
to investigate the whispered stories
which reached the ears of the sheriff.
On August 4, 1921, the sexton of
Crystal Springs was asked by F. H.
Martini, undertaker for the House of
David, to prepare a gruve. He gave
the death certificate to the sexton,
saying that "Mary Kirkham, ah in
mate nf tile House of David, aged 68,
died from apoplexy.” At that time
Pullen was acting as assistant to the
sexton and took charge of the burial.
"When I was putting the casket in
the rough box, the lid fell off,” Pullen
said, according to a deputy sheriff
"Then I saw a paper bag in the cof
fin. That surprised me very much.
I pulled the suck away from the face
and found not an old woman but a
young girl of about 16 or 17 years old.
The body was lying face down. I
turned the body around and saw that
there were blue finger marks about
the neck. The face was swollen and
dark. I pulled the sack back over the
face and closed up the ca’sket."
