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-

T HAPPEXKD out in Los An-'
geles, Louis J. Oasnier, president I
of the 'Astra Film corporation,;
ami Sidney Cohen, the well known '
fillu man, both had purchased new :
cars. The cars are of different make.
The two magnates Yell into some- j
what acrimonious debate as to the
merits and demerits of the cars. j
"Say Gasnier, I'd have to reverse ,
in order to let you get up with me i
on the broad- highway," exclaimed !
Cohen. ' j
"I've got a hundred here that says i
my car is faster, classier, and every
thing," was Gasnicr's answer. j
The two selected Mr. J. A. Eerst, j
president of United, as stake holder, j
"Select the car you think the class-:
iest," exclaimed the arguers in uui- '
son. Just then Kitty Gordon, the
movie star, arrived in her new
limousine. Mr. Rcrst looked the car
over critically.
"I think Mis Gordon has the
prettiest car," said he as he handed
the money over to Miss Gordon.
A new series of comedy cartoon
films has been completed and will

Montagu Love, Carlyle Blackwell,
June Elvidge, Evelyn Greeley.
Madge Evans, George Drumier and
Johnny Mines. Sounds mghty
promising, doesn't it?
Those wealthy picture actors are
at it again. Both Pearl White and
Warner Oland, star x and featured
players respectively, of the new
Pathe serial, "The Lightning Raid
er," have purchased farms within the
last month. Miss White parted
ed by Washington. I answer ,that
the document prevents what Wash
ington opposed partial alliances b;.
America with any foreign countny,
even -were its statesmen inclined.
"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?
"The constitution of the league
prohibits the possibility of a political
alliance with any European power
by balancing against the European
the Asiatic, Japan and all South
America."
Hubby Would Kill Wife
and Self to Settle Score

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

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.
He was charged with drunkenness
and abuse of his wife.

BY SCANDAL
IT IDA GROVE
Governor Harding, Who Par
doned Ernest Rathbun, is
to Testrfy Before the
Grand Jury. 1
I Ida drove, la., Feb. 24. (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

HE attraction at the Crandeis
beginning Monday will be Otis

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-

Kles by the aoft curved lines of health and
beauty, there are evidently thousands of
men and women who keenly feel thMr ex
cessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate, which is inex
pensive and is sold by Sherman & McCon
nell in Omaha and most all druggists under
a guarantee of satisfaction or money back.
By feeding the nerves directly and by sup
plying the body cells with the necessary
phosphoric food elements. bitro-Dhosnhate
quickly produces a -welcome transformation
m the appearance; the Increase in weight
frequently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries with
it a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of en
ergy, which nearly always accompany ex
cessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes
become bright, and pale cheeks glow with
the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION : Although bitro-nhosDhal.
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness, it
should not, owing to its remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh. Adv.
