THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1919. LEVIS ANSWERS CHARGES i.IADE BY SEN. BORAH Senator from Illinois Also Re plies to Recent Speech by Reed Opposing League of Nations. Washington, Feb. 24. Speaking in the senate today in support of the proposed league of nations, Sen ator Lewis f Illinois, democratic whip, declared the league would not 'Contravene the advice of Wash ington or the Monroe doctrine, and broadly intimated that personal and political antagonism to President Wilson Jay behind the opposition in congress. Senator Lewis replied specifically to recent speeches by Senators '-ioran oi iflano, repuDiican, ana Heed of, Missouri, democrat. His address marked resumption of sen ate discussion of the league with prospects of daily speeches until ad journment of congress a week from tomorrow. Asks for Better Plan. ' Attacks upon the league, Senator Lewis asserted, were based on fajse fears and designed to awaken preju dice. Demanding that opponents present their plan for world peace, lie asked: "Have you any? Is there only the voice of veto from you all cm whatever plan merely that it is proposed by Wilson? - "The country is not deceived; it will understand and when it does know that for party politics or per sonal prejudices their representa tives would continue to consign the nation's children to the misery of cripples to the agony of sightless eyes and order the destruction of their young lives forever; these Christian, mothers and patriot fath ers will cry down on the heads of them all the curse of heaven. Animosity Toward Wilson? "" "If Woodrow Wilson were a Ro man Cataliue charged by a Cicero with cotispiracy to surrender his land to the enemy of his country and Taft a modern Aaron Burr, they could not have been more vio lently impugned than each has been !v the leaders of the opposition to the league of nations," said. Mr.-f Lewis. "Nothing so proved the animosity to Wilson's success in any design ;is the refusal to grant him his re quest, cabled as he sailed for Amer ica, to postpone discussions of the constitution of the league until he could arrive and explain the circum stances of its formation. The fact that there would be months after Wilson returns to Faris for the con clusion of his work, in which dis cussion of every nature could be had, was of no influence on those who preferred to exhibit every where their defiance of any request he might make. Prevents Alliances. "The reasons raised as a justifica tion of the assault have, I declare, no grounds in the contents of the document. "It is said that the document vio lates our policy against alliances with foreign governments as oppos- rnoTo-rT.AVs.

"It requires two-thirds of all to permit any war or peace action with one. Would two-thirds ever, allow such disadvantage to them in- favor of any one against them all?

Hubby Would Kill Wife and Self to Settle Score --Wielding a huge knife and threat ening to end his life and that of his spouse, and also showing the ef fects of "fire-water," Bill Nikkei son, 4002 Hamilton street, baker. was overpowered and taken info custody by Policeman Dalton Mon day evening, at his residence. Nikkelson's display of temper fol lowed his wife's objections to his imbibing too much liquor. At the station Kikkelson stated that he had taken only a moderate amount of liquor as a bpcer to counteract the weariness entailed by too much work. His wife's objections so ex asperated him that he had deter mined to leave her, but before leav ing he wished to settle some old scores with, her. By killing himself I he believed he would be able to do this, he said. When arrested he had in his. possession $78, about a third of which was in pennies, nickels and dimes.

(Spe ! trial.) Word was received this morning that Gov. W. L. Harding would arrive here soon to testify before the grand jury in the Ernest Rathbun 'case. .The message was sent fiom Car roll, la., where the governor was compelled to stop for medical treat ment when he was seized with an attack of illness last week en route from Des Moines to Ida Grove. It was addressed to Attorney General H. M. Havner and signed by Charles Witt, the governor's secre tary. Governor Last Witness. The attorney general declared that the grand jury would submit a report after hearing the statement of the governor, who will be the last witness. . Mr. iKvner, assisted by Attor neys J. W. Kindig and J. L. Ken nedy of Sioux- City, is said to be ii tempting to obtain an indictment against young Rathbun for perjury. It is alleged, the prisoner con fessed to having assaulted Elsie Hargens a year ago, and following his trail for criminal assault las; spring, which proved one of the most sensational in the history of Ida couniy, his conviction and sub sequent pardon by the governor, an effort is being made to obtain an indictment for false swearing in the statement upon which Governor Harding based his action in setting aside the verdict of the court. Town in Turmoil. Excitement is at a high pitch here. Feeling against Rathbun, who was not committed to jail until last Thursday, is bitter. He 'was arrest ed and confined to the Ida countv jail upon instructions of the attorney general, who holds that the eovernor Kexceeded. his authority in granting a pardon to the accused, in as much as he did not submit the application first to the state board. Mr. Havner located in the clerk's office the origi nal committment to the state peni tentiary issued after the trial, in which Rathbun was found guilty, and ordered Sheriff Dalquist im mediately to take the accused to the state prison. Attorney George Clark, for the prisoner, at once applied to Judge E. G. Alberts for the release of his client on a writ of habeas corpus. Rathbun is being held without bond pending a hearing, which has been set for Wednesday. Governor Hard ing is expected to appear at the hearing. v Serious Charges Made. A great deal of speculation is be ing indulged in as to the nature of the grand jury's report, which is predicted not only will concern Rathbun. Charges of attempts to bribe jwors at the trial have been circulated freely. The grand jury also is said to be investigating ru mors to the effect that Rathbun's father gave an attorney $6,000 only .recently. This money is said to have been m addition to a regular fee. It is said that the attorney gen eral has remained-ia. the grand jury room throughout the investigation. Mr. Havner refused to say on what matters the governor would be questioned. People here are lookifl'g for several indictments with the re port of the grand jury. Ernest(Rathbun and Ray O'Meara, 19 years eld, the sons of wealthy and influential farmers living near Ida Grove, are alleged to have been driv ing in Rathbun's automobile last spring when they met Elsie -.Hargens and another girl on the street. The boys were not acquainted with the girls, .hut they stopped and en gaged them in conversation. -They were invited to get in the car and go for a ride and accepted the invi tation. The automobile was stopped a short distance from the city limits knd all four of the occupants alight ed and took a walk through the woods. The boys are said to have rban'o'led the girls roughly and Miss Hargens companion tied. Miss Har gens is alleged to have been held a prisoner and criminally assaulted by both boys. Were in Omaha. A report df the affair was made to County Attorney Clark, who obtain ed warrants for the arrest of Rath- nun and UMeara. When the boys learned that warrants, charging criminal assault, were in the hands of the sheriff, they took Rathbun's car and left town. They spent about two weeks in Omaha while fugitives from justice and returned to the Lhoiiic of William Rathbun, a brother of Ernest Rathbun. living on a farm about two miles from Ida Grove. William Rathbun advised his broth er and O'Meara to surrender them selves to the sheriff. This was done after arrangements had been made for their release on bonds. Attorney Genera! Havner interest ed himself in the case from the first and sent O.'O. Rock, chief state agent, and three assistants to Ida Grove to make an investigation and obtain evidence against the twy boys. The state agents are alleeod to have obtained a signed statement from Rathbun admitting his guirt upon the promise that he would b: exempted from proscution and that O'Meara would be made to suffer for the criirc. O'Meara Found Guilty. O'Meara was found guilty by a jury and sentenced to life in 'the state penitentiary. His case now is in the supreme court. Rathbun, who also appealed his case, remained at liberty on bonds until his pardon was signed by Governor Harding. It was thought the case had been disr pos.ed of finally when the attorney general reopened it a short while ago with another grand jury investi gation. Governor Harding was subnoeV naed to testify and was taken tick at Carroll before he arrived here. While the governor was confined to his bed the attorney general made the point that the state's chief execu tive had no authority to pardon Rathbun without having first sub mitted the case to the state board. This, he charged, was not done, and the attorney, general contends AT THE T HE attraction at the Crandeis beginning Monday will be Otis :kinner in a revival of Colonel Bridau in "The Honor of the Fam ily. It is '10 years since he has played this cocky little French of ficer. The revival should be particu larly nmeiy now wnen interests arc so closely cemented with the French, and as Mr. Skinner's playing of the mustering, nre-catine omcer ot ,a noleon's army is one of the best things this distinguished actor has none, there will be many who are keen to revel in its delights again. It is not as a motion picture di rector and' actor that Hobart Bos worth is best konwn. That star who is appearing this week in a short dra matic version of Jack London's story, "The Sea Wolf," won dis tinction for himself, much before he allied himself with the film industry. He played leading roles with lulia Marlowe and with Mrs. Fiske, as well as with Henrietta Crosman. His portrayal of the brutal Wolf Larsen is a piece of vigorous acting. The big society audience last evening at the Orpheum was deeply impressed by his work and by the excellence ot the entire bill. The Empress headline attraction is "The Eight Corn Cob Cut I'ps" an octette of male comedians, sing ers, dancers and musicians. One ofJ of the hits of the bill is the 'singing and piano number of Hazel and Kitty Harte. Maybelle Phillips is purveyor of sunshine and makes qujte a feature of telling "kid" stories. An amusing comedy skit,fs offered by Jack Cahill and Don Ro maine. The recent visit to America of Reginald L. "Snowy" Baker was a source of constant worry to the manager directing Julian Eltinge, who is appearing with his own that the pardon was illegal. Mr. Havner unearthed the committment filed in the clerk's office with the papers in the case, and ordered Rathbun taken immediately to Ana mosa to begin serving his life term. The attorney general filed his answer this morning to the petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Attor ney Clark declared he wfou!d file a demurrer to the attorney? general's answer. Argument on the demurrer will be heard first when the case is called Wednesday. If the demurrer is sustained by the court, Rathbun will be given his freedom, as far as the attorney generals attempt to ignore the governor's pardon is con cerned. It is possible, however, the prisoner will be rearrested on anoth er charge, depending on the report of the grand jury. If the demurrer is not sustained by the court, argu ments will be submitted by counsel. If Judge Alberts refuses to grant a writ of habeas corpus. Rathbun will be sent immediately to the peniten- . .
