Marquis Saionji, head of the Japa
nese peace delegation who has just
arived in Faris, joins with other
members of the delegation in ap
proving the plan for the league of
nations. In discussing the Japa
nese position today the marquis
said that their approval of the pre
liminary, text should indicate suf
ficiently Japan's adherence to the
plan. '
Japan Reserves Rights.
He added that while Japan has re
served certain rights, like France
and Italy, to offer amendments
later the amendments would be con
fined to a renewed attempt to se
cure a declaration against racial
discrimination and perhaps a closer
definition of the strength of the
army which Japan can maintain.
Advices from Japan, he said, were
that the native newspapers general
ly favor the league.
The conditions under which the
internationat regime of ports will
be applied were agreed upon by the
subcommission of the peace confer
ence commission on the Interna
tional regime of ports, waterways

Apparently an open covenant of

Sets Up An Oligarchy.
Of the proposed constitution, Sen
ator Sherman said it would set up an
oligarchy of the worst possible sort,
adding:
MTf we cut the cables of constitu
tional government here we are
caught in the irresistible tides that
will sweep up into the maelstrom of
the old world's blood currents. The
feuds and spoliations of a thousand
years will become our daily chart ol
action. All we know is that a few
men in some hidden chamber
known as the executive council
wield over us powers of life and
death.
"The creation of a nameless thing
to sit in star chamber judgment and
decree implicit obedience to its
mandates cannot be borne by free
man. By an ukase it will embargo
our commerce, close our exchanges,
destroy credits, leave our merchan
dise rotting on piers, shut the 1'an
ama canal, order congress to de
clare war, levy taxes, appropriate
money, raise and support armies
and navies, and dispatch our men
to any quarter of the globe to fighi
and die because an alien executive
council has willed it.
Deceived Sincere Men.
"Sincere men may have deceived
themselves in their great hope for a
perfect world, but no delusion, how
ever sincere, will excuse this senate
from its duty to interpose its power
against this universal Utopia prom
ised by the president. It is the
fabled appeal of a great hope which
will turn to ashes on a trusting peo
ple's lips. The senate never faced
a greater task nor a nobler duty.
It will not ratify an emotion nor
translate an impossible idealism in
to a weapon of national suicide."
Senator Sherman asserted that
against the wisdom and experience
of the American forefathers as
summed up in Washington's fare
well address, there was now rising
up "the dreamer and the bookman,
the socialist, the mere habadasher
in phrases which intoxicate and mis
lead." United States Would Not Be Bound.
Senator Smith asked what would
happen , in case the United States
should withdraw from the league,
leaving all other nations of the
western hemisphere as members,
among whom a dispute might arise.
"Would not the dispute be settled
by the league without reference to
the United States?" asked Senator
Smith.
"If America did not belong we
would not be bound by anything,"
replied Senator McCumbcr. "But
the league constitution says that the
'keep your hands off' policy of the
Monroe doctrine shall be applied to
the whole world."
Senator Smith suggested that the
United States would have to placf
its case "in cold storage for three
months in the event of trouble with
Mexico.
"We bind ourselves not to make
an aggressive war on Mexico," re
plied Senator McCumber, "but if we
are attacked by Mexico we are not
bound to take steps to defend our
selves." : He added that a bandit raid could
not be considered as an' act of war
if it was not conducted by a govern
ment. "That would depend on who was
president," responded Senator
Smith when Senator McCumber
said the fear that the United States
would be out-voted in the league
was overdrawn, and declared that
each self-governing nation should
have one vote, Senator Smith of
Michigan, said it would be possible
for Great Britain to outvote this

ator McCumber said that so ;1ong
as the dominions of Great Britain
were self-governing nations they
would have the right to individual
votes, but Senator smith argued
that treaties involving Canada were
negotiated between this country and
Great Britain and Canada did not

Four to One.
If a controversy between the
United States and Japan were sub
mitted to the league and if Canada
stood with the United States the
latter' would still have four votes as
against one for the United States,
Senator Smith argued.
"I look with apprehension upon
the plan for farming out our rights,"
said Senator Smith, who referred
to the constitution as "a constitu
tion of internationalism."
Senator McCumber said that the
Michigan senator "would have the
United States remain on this side
of the Atlantic ocean in splendid
isolation, but that the world had
grown and that the isolation no
longer was practicable.
During the discussion, senator
McCumber urged the adoption of
his resolution calling on the govern
ment to send reinforcements to
Russia to remain there until a stable
government has been established.
This resolution is a substitute for
one offered by Senator Johnson.
Much Heralded Woman
Booze Sleuth May Lose
Her Mystery in Court
"Babe," the mysterious woman
booze- sleuth, will cease to be a
mystery today if she testifies in po
lice court. Yesterday reporters and
other curious people gathered in
court only to be disappointed when
the much heralded "Babe" appeared
heavily draped in veils. At the re
quest of state agents the cases m
which she was to testify were post
poned till today, and neither her
name nor her features were re
vealed. Police Judge Fitzgerrald says she
hasn't a chance to testify without
removing her veil and giving her
name, as state agents seem not to
desire.
"In the first place," said the judge,
"it is a constitutional right of a
prisoner to be faced by a witness.
In the second place, I judge the
truth of testimony by the witnesses'
expression, and how could I do that
if she wore a veil?"
At the request of State Officer
Harris a whisky case to be tried
Saturday was postponed till this
week. Police, who are rather skepti
cal regarding female sleuths in gen
eral, believe "Babe" is to testify in
this case also.
Would-be Bank Robber Put
to Flight by Nervy Cashier
Sacramento, Cal., March 3. An
attempt by an unmasked man to se
cure at the point of a revolver
money fom the Citizens bank of
Oak Park, a suburb, was frustrated
this afternoon by D. K. Colslough,
cashier. Colslough ignored the
bandit's command to throw up his
hands, and, seizing a revolver, put
to rout the intruder who escaped.
The driver of the taxicab which
brought the bandit to the bank, de
nied knowledge of his patron.
Former Omaha Pastor to

Rev. S. G. Dorey, former pastor of
Dietz Memorial Methodist church, is
visiting Omaha for a few days. He
preached .in his old pulpit yesterday
and will lecture at 8 o'clock tonight
in the same church, on "Fun, Facts

December.

Chairman Chamberlain of the mili
tary committee asked unanimous
consent to vote on the $1,215,000,000

cultural bill at 10 o'clock. Like
objection from the Pennsylvania
senator met a request of Chairman
Swanson of the naval committee to
vote on the $720,000,000 naval bill at
midnight. Mr. Penrose said the
naval bill had many "vicious fea
tures" which would require "months
of debate."
Chairman Simmons of the fi
nance committee then requested
that the resolution repealing the
sem-iluxuries tax be voted on at
11 o'clock and Senator Curtis i-f
Kansas objected.
In calling up the sundry civil ap
propriation bill in the senate to
night Democratic Leader Martin
told the senate that if the $750,000,
000 appropriation in the bill for the
railroad administration failed a fi
nancial panic might result.
Who Will Be Responsible?
Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin,
republican, asked whether if the
bill failed, "President Wilson would
change his mind about calling an
extra session rather than bring
about a financial panic."
the president wont be re
sponsible," said Senator M?rtin,
"the senate will bear the responsi
bility." Senator Penrose refused to with
draw his objection to dispensing
with reading of the bill with all
amendments and the reading con
tinued. When the bill was considered sec
tion by section, the senate without
objection adopted the committee
amendment authorizing; the govern
ment to take possession of the
Cape Cod canal at not to exceed
$10,000,000 if the War department
institutes condemnation proceed
ings. An amendment by Senator Knox
of Pennsylvania, authorizing $950.

An amendment offered by sena
tors from the cotton states reducing
the number of grades of cotton de
liverable on future contracts from
20 to 10 was retained in the bill.
Huge Sum For Shipping Board.
A committee amendment appro
priating $50,000,000 for the shipping
board was tentatively accepted after
it had been amended on the sugges
tion of Senator Harding of' Ohio,
republican, so as to provide specific
ally that none of the money should
be used except for meeting obliga
tions already incurred by the board.
During consideration of the
amendment Senator Calder of New
York, republican, sought to change
it so as to prevent any part of the
appropriation being used for the
purchase of ships from the Inter
national Mercantile Marine, but his
amendment was withdrawn after the
Harding amendment had been in
troduced. Socialist Mass Meeting
