PEACE MEETING
WILL SUBMIT TO
WILSOtrSTERMS
Senators Say Threatened
Break Impossible as United
States Now "Holds
Purse Strings."
By JAMES R. NOURSE.
By Cntvwmsl Nervtc.
Washington, April 10. Disquiet
ing rumors from abroad to the effect
that the peace conference may break
tip in a disagreement are given little
credence by senators here. Despite
the persistence with which these in
timations appear in the cable dis
patches there is a strong feeling
among officials generally that there
will be no serious interruption of
the work of the peace conference.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
republican leader in the senate, be
lieves that when the president comes
home he will bring the peace treaty
and the league of nations covenant
with him. He is laying out the work
of the foreign relations committee,
of which he will be chairman, upon
the firm belief that the first thing
the committee will have to do whin
congress meets will be to study the
text of the treaty.
Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali
fornia today expressed the opinion
that there is small likelihooc of
President Wilson withdrawing from
the conference until the treaty and
the ' league constitution have been
fully agreed upon. The senator be
lieves that the European nations
now represented at the conference
will not permit the president to quit;
he offers as a reason for this the
terse suggestion that the president
"holds the purse strings and they
cannot let him quit," he said.
"Wilson Holds Purse Strings."
"It seems perfectly obvious to me
that the powers of the president be
ing so great, he other nations will
b3 forced to accede to him on every
point in dispute. We hold the purse;
they have to come to us for their
food, for their material and for
everything else. The,y cannot do
without us and so whatever may be
said, there is very small chance that
the conference will end in a dis
agreement between any of the other
nations and the United States.
"I look to see the treaty adopted
and the league of nations in some
torm agreed to by the conference
because these are the things Presi
dent Wilson wants. He has the
power to compel the others to give
him what he wants, and I do not
see how they can very well avoid
doing it."
Protests Secrecy.
Senator Johnson emphasized again
his protest against the lack of
specific information as to what the
peace conference is doing. He de
clared it to be "a monstrous thing"
.that the people of the United States
are not permitted to know all. that
is being dAne. He coninued:
"It is part of the peculiar
psychology of war. I presume, that
the American people have been kept
from knowing anything whatever as
to what is being done at the peace
conference in the settlement of
questions concerning their own
country. The people seem to have
gotten used to this sort of thing;
they have been cowed so much that
they no longer appear to care what
is going on. To me it is a terrible
thing that not even .he American
press is permitted to know what
is going on behind the scenes."
Food Ships Forced to Return
From Germany, in Ballast
Berlin, April 10. The first entente
food ships that reached Germany
had to leave in ballast on their re
turn trips, because in all Germany
there could not be collected enough
freight to load them, it is announc
ed in semi-official quaters. Neither
was it possible to recoal the steam
ers completely,

Visions of "Gravy" Gone
for "Almost Married" Man
Dream of Houses and Lots, Collecting Rent and a Wife
to Do the Cooking Fades for Restaurant Cook When
Bride-to-be Changes Mind.
Will Giles' dream of wealth and
love is o'er.' Only -a few hours
elapsed between the time he secured
a license to wed at the county
judge's office and the time he came
back and asked to have it cancelled.
Will is a negro, a cook in a res
taurant. He came into the marriage
license office late Wednesday after
noon. He was all dressed up and
the big insignia of the Order of
Ethiope's Noble Sons dangled from
his watch chain.
"Ah wants a ma'iage license," he
said.
"Going to get married, eh?" said
Marriage License Clerk Steuben
dorf. "Oh, man, Ah should say Ah is.
An' the's gravy in it fo' me. Gravy.
Lady Ah'm goin' to marry has fo'
houses an' fo' lots all her own. See
me goin' round collectin' de rents
fo' her an' pe'haps ridin' in inah au
tomobile. Say, boy. An' Ah've
on'v been here 'bout a month. Say,
boy!"
The license was duly issued to Mr.
Giles, who gave his age as 47 and
that of his prospective bride, Ella
Jackson, as 46. He said they would
begin housekeeping at 2122 North
Twenty-fourth street. He departed
in he highest of spirits.
Yesterday morning he came in
again. He handed the license to
Mr. Stcubendorf.
"Reckon Ah ain't got no use fo'
this paper," he said. "Kin Ah get
mah $2 back?"
"What's the matter? Why can't
you use it?" asked Mr. Steubendorf.
"Lady wouldn't marry me, tha's
whv. Wouldn't marry me nohow."
"'Well, that's too bad. Sorry."
"An' Ah can't even get mah $2?"
"No."
"Well, could Ah come in an have
the license changed in 'bout a week?
Ah've got another gal an' maybe
she'll have me."
Mr. Steubendorf said that he
thought he could accommodate him
to that extent. '
Mr. Giles went sadly back to his
cooking, the dream of wealth and in
fluence and landlordism dispelled.

special request of residents of Fair-

"I have received several com
plaints from prominent residents of
Fairacres," the sheriff said. "They
complain that especially on Satur
day and Sunday nights the roads
and byroads out there are just full
of automobiles filled with men and
girls and that the spooning and
carousing go on until morning.
"I have promised that I will give
this my attention and we are going
to try to clean them out of the resi
dence districts of the suburbs.
"If there are girls and fellows of
the automobile spooning type they
will have to go somewhere else to
carry on their activities. We ex
pect to find some 'booze' also in
these raids, as 'booze' often accom
panies that kind of a 'party.'"
Deputy Sheriff Christensen says
he has routed out many a party on
the West Dodge road on Saturday
nights and Sunday nights.
"The woods are full of them some
times." he said. "Out on the West
Dodge road the other night we
walked into the yard of a school
house and the spooners jumped up
all around us. It reminded me of
toads, there were so many of them."

Says Liberty Bonds
Being Gathered Up
By Capitalists of U. S.
Br linlyersal Service.
San Francisco, April 10. "Liberty
bonds are gradually being gathered
up by the capitalists and in a few
years will be out of the hands of the
people at large, although the gov
ernment made every effort to dis
tribute them as widely as possible."
Governor James K. Lynch of the
San Francisco Federal Reserve
bank, made this statement in ex
plaining that prices quoted here for
Liberty bonds are no larger than
those in New York and bond deal
ers in the east would not profit by
sending bonds here to be sold. The
reason the quotations here seem
larger is that they cover undetached
coupons. Many persons here have
sold their bonds without detaching
the interest certificates. Where the
certificates have been taken off the
price is the same as in New York.
"Bonds are steadily going up,"
Governor Lynch said, "and every
holder of bonds should realize that
he is making money by holding
what he has."

Berlin, April 10. Magdeburg, the
capital of Prussian Saxony, where
serious disorders occurred early in
the week, again is in control of the
Gernnn government forces, Gustav
Nosks, minister of defense, declared
in an interview today in the Tage
blatt. After asserting that the au
thorities were prepared for all pos
sibilities, Ilerr Noske reviewed the
situation as follows:
"Madgcburg is completely in our
hands. Motor boats armed with
machine guns are patrolling the
Line to protect vessels carrying re
lief foodstuffs. Conditions in Ba
varia are such that if Premier Hoff
mann holds out a short time we
will be able to solidify opinion in
favor of a legitimate government.
Must Hit With Energy.
"If no other way is possible,
Munich will be compelled by arms
to return to order as in the case of
Bremen and Dusseldorf.
"We must hit with all our energy
rather tnan to allow the country to
be precipitated into an abyss. If
blood is spilled it will be on the
heads of communist maniacs. The
situation in the Ruhr district is
much better than the sensational
press pretends."
Strike General.
The strike which began several
days ago today was almost general.
All the large factories were closed
and the street cars were forced to
stop running. It is believed cer
tain, however, that a majority of the
workers are against the strike and
were coerced into it by the inde
pendent socialist and communist
forces. A secret vote taken by the
men who quit work is said to have
been overwhelmingly in favor of re
turning to work.
Looters and robbers continue
their depredations. They have ran
sacked the American Red Cross
depot and other storehouses and the
food problem here is becoming crit
ical. Essen Leaders Taken,
Copenhagen, April 10. The mem
bers cf the strike committee in
Essen v.ere arrested today by go
emmertt troops under instructions
from Berlin, a dispatch from lissen
teports. Civilians then attacked the
troops, but after considerable firing,
the civilians were dispersed.
The nrrests of the strike leaders
were made after the committee had
declined an invitation to negotiate
with a representative of the government.
