PACT IN

Treaty Given Out by American
Representatives at Paris
Senator Says, But With- .
held From Senate.
Washington, June 3. Senator
Lodge chairman of the senate foi
eign relations committee, told the
senate today he had seen in the
hands of business interests in New
York a copy of the treaty with Ger
mary, given out by an American
representative at Paris,- but with
held by the State department from
the senate.
The statement caused a sharp de
bate upon the course of President
Wilson and the State department re
garding publication of the treaty
text.
"The treaty is in New York," said
Senator Lodge. "I saw a copy of it
yesterday. I was offered a copy but
I refused to accept it saying it could
not come into my hands without be
ing published. I heard of four copies
in New York How many more
there may be throughout the coun
try I do not know. As far as I can
make out the only 'place it is not
allowed to come is the senate of the
United States."
Asks Origin of Copy.
Senator Swanson of . Virginia, a
democratic member of the foreign
relations committee, inquired wheth
er the Massachusetts senator could
tell where the copy he saw came
from.
"Copies were given out in Paris,"
replied Senator Lodge. "They found
that some of-them were coming to
this country and it was stopped." i
"By whom were they given out?
asked Senator Swanson.
"By our representatives there."
"What representatives?"
"I presume by some of the presi
dent's followers."
The first suggestion that the
treaty text was available in New'
York was made by Senator Borah,
republican; of Idaho, when a request
was made by Senator Johnson, re
publican, of California, that his reso
lution asking the State department
for the text be allowed to go over
until tffe woman suffrage amend
ment was disposed of by the senate.
Senator Swanson asked the au
thority for this statement, and it
was then that Senator Lodge an
nounced he had seen the treaty
Senator Swanson said an Associated
Press dispatch had stated President
Wilson had agreed not to make the
treaty public at present, and argued
that the Johnson resolution would
amount to a request that the presi
dent break his word. Public a
rtaction abroad, he' said, was due
probably to the fact that some one
else had broken faith.
Wants Resolution Referred Back.
Senator Swanson urged that the
resolution be referred to the foreign
relations committee. Senator Lodge
said neither the British nor the
French parliaments had been given
official copies.
"Because Germany broke faith is
no reason for the senate to ask the
president to break faith," said Mr
Swanson.
"Regardless of any agreement, I
assume that when the president
learns the New York interests have
it in their possession the president
will no longer feel under any obliga
tion to keep faith," Senator Borah
interrupted.
Does Not Want Investigation.
Senator Swanson, suggested that
the committee investigate.
"I doVt want any investigation,"
said Senator Borah. "I want the
president to know that those people
in New York are using it in a seirn
public.way for their private informa
tion. "If the president made an agree
ment not to give it out, there isno
reason now why the president
shouldn't advise us of that fact, if
it is a fact. If it is true that copies
have gone into the hands of special
interests, I think the president
would feel relieved of his agreement
and give us the treaty."

Recalls KidcPs Brutality
Testifying - Against Skipper Pedersen and His Son,
Charged With Murder of Seaman They Drove
Overboard by Cruelty, Cabin Boy Recites in Detail
Circumstances Leading Up to Tragedy.
New York, June 3. Seafaring of the sort that flourished
in the early eighteenth century, when a foremast hand
was virtually a slave and his brawny skipper, armed with a
belaying pin, his undisputed master, was described in federal
court here today by John W. Campbell, a 22-year-old high
school boy of Maquoketa, la., who answered the call of
the sea and ran away from home to ship with Skipper
AdolpK C. Pedersen as cabin boy on the antiquated barken
tine Puako.
Campbell was the first witness for
the government which has charged
Pedersen and his son, Adolph, mate
! of the Puako, in an old-fashioned
indictment, with the murder on the
high seas of Axel Hansen, a sea-
I man. They are alleged to have
driven Hansen overboard by cruelty
and to have left him to perish in the
sea.
An old English style prisoner's
dock had been constructed in the
courtroom 4o match the antiquated
form of the indictment which used
to carry the penalty upon conviction
of hanging on a public gallows.
Campbell was asked to recite what
happened on board the Puako on
the morning of August 6, 1918, as
the little vessel clipped through the
waves with all sails set for Cape
Town, South Africa.
"I came ( on deck at 4 a. m. to
stand watch," Campbell began.

Omsk, June 3. A bolsevist radio
dispatch from Moscow dated May

of the executive committee of the
bolshevist partas follows: ,
"The Petrograd front, until recent
ly, was for us a matter of secondary
importance. During the last few
days the situation has changed en
tirely. The enemies of blshevism
have decided to take Petrograd and

No Advance Made in Price
of Ice in Council Bluffs
Ice users in Council Bluffs will
pay the same price this summer as
they did last year, 50 cents per 100
pounds. This was not the original
intention, however, for it is asserted
that a price of 60 cents was practic
ally agreed upon by dealers several
weeks ago. On this basis all bids
to supply the municipal ice at the
city building, fire station and else
where was contracted for at 50 cents
per 100, all of the bids being iden
tical. The break in the prices is alleged
to have been due to the action of
Droge Brothers, whose new plant
will enable them td furnish ice at
the price of last vear. despite the
increased cost of production.

idle employes of the company, were
killed by discharged soldiers who
are guarding the plant. The killing
was the culmination ofTKree riots

injury to thirteen persons.
The killing occurred in front of a
fire station near the automobile
plant, where a discharged soldier,
with a woman companion', had
sought refuge from a threatening
crowd.
Soldiers Answer Calls.'
Calls for assistance brought two
motor truck loads of soldier guards
from the automobile plant. When
they arrived one of them fired a
pistol into the air. The guards then
fired their rifles and pistols into the
crowd.
Mayor Schreiber at 1 o'clock
announced he had applied to Gover
nor Cox to send troops here and
that he expected the governor would
comply. The house adjoining the

last night, Mayor Cornell Schreiber"
of Toledo wired Governor Cox say

Toledo." '

the situation."
Charles E. Morris, secretary to
the -governor, who received the mes
sage, said he would inform the'
mayor that Ohio at present is with

to request the government to lend
soldiers. He said he would not
make this request until he had con
sulted the governor, who is is said
to be out of the city. -f
Mr. Morris said he thought there
were 3,000 troops at Camp Sher

ARMY LEADER
Replies to Criticisms of Vis
count French Who, in Book,
Charged Inefficiency.
London, June 3. Herbert -H. As
quith, who was British premier at
the outbreak of the war, replying
in a speech today to critcisms by
Viscount French, first commander
of the British forces in France, in
his book concerning the government
in the early days of the war, said
that prior to the visit to France of
Earl Kitchener the intended move
ments of Lord French had filled the
cabinet with consternation.
The movement, Mr. Asquith
added, would have had, in the judg
ment of the cabinet, the effect of
leaving the French army in the
lurch in the moment of supreme
need. This consternation, Mr. As
quith declared, was shared by the
French government.
In reply to the charge of Lord
French that he was not supported
by the government in the suppl
of munitions, the former premier
read a letter he received from Lord
French at the time of the formation
of the coalition government. In the
letter Lord French said:
"I am sure that in the whole his
tory of the war no general in the
field has ever been helped in a
difficult task by the head of his gov
ernment as I have been supported
and strengthened by your unfail
ing sympathy and encouragement."

May Accept German Proposal
to Pay Indemnity of Hundred
Billion Marks; Other Refers

Paris, June 3. Two changes in
the German peace terms, one ter
ritorial and the other financial, are
being considered by the Council of
Four, it became known today.
The financial question is the pos
sibility of the acceptance of the Ger
man proposal to paty an indemnity
of 100,000,000,000 - marks, which
would involve dissolution of the al
lied financial commission, to which
the Germans strongly object. It is
understood that this proposal has
strong support in certain quarters
The second proposal is for a ple
biscite in Silesia and a guarantee to
Germany of a coal supply from the
Silesian mines.
Experts to Prepare Answer.
1 Experts of the United States.
France. Great Britain and Italy, on
the invitation of the American peace
commissioners, are expected to meet
as soon as possiWe to exchange
views regarding the answer to the
German counter-proposals.
President Wilson conferred today
with the American commissioners
and experts. Their role will be that
of mediators.
Great Britain favors a number of
cohcessions while France remains
firm in her stand to make no con
cessions. It is believed that as a result of
the steps taken today the reply to
the German proposals will be ready
within 48 hours.
It is understood that the Ameri
cans are not averse to minor con
cessions, but not to the extent fa
vored by the British.
Won't Sacrifice Territory.
Berlin, June 3. Rumors in circu

to sacrifice parts of German terri
tory threatened by the peace terms
if the counter-proposals are ac
cepted, are denied by Count von
Brockdorff-Rantzau, in an interview
with the Versailles correspondent of

The head of the German peace
delegation asserted he was eager for
a better opportunity to convince the
allies of Germany's honesty and
honor than was offered by inter

tion at Wiesbaden. The note con
cludes: "The action on the part of the
French occupation authorities is in
sharpest contradiction to the ar
mistice conditions and represents
the grossest violation of obligations
legally undertaken. I he German
government makes the sharpest
protest against this behaviar."
In response to Dr. Dorten s no

of Dorten and the other members
of his government for high treason
and declared all the official acts

FINAL VOTE ON
SUFFRAGE PUT
OVERJNE DAY
Chairman of Suffrage Com

Senate Until Outcome of
Bill Determined.
Washington, June 3. Final action
in the senate on the house resolu
tion for submission of the Susan B.
Anthony woman suffrage amend
ment was prevented today, by de
bate, principally by suffrage oppo
nents, and by discussion of the
peace treaty. The resolution was
made unfinished business and it is
believed that before adjournment
tomorrow the last roll call will be
reported, with adop'tion .apparently
assured.
When managers of the resolution,
which was " adopted by the house
two weeks ago, 304 to 89, gave up
hope of a vote today Chairman
Watson of the senate woman suf
frage committee announced that he
would insist upon holding the sen
ate in session tomorrow until the
final vote Was reported.
Senator Watson spoke less than
a minute in favor of the resolution.
Senator Lenrott, republican, of Wis
consin, also urged its adoption.
Senators Reed of Missouri and Un
derwood of Alabama, democrats,
and Borah, republican, of Idaho,
made the principal address against
the measure.
The senate rejected, 58 to 12, an
amendment by Senator Harrison,
democrat of Mississippi, limiting
benefits of the proposed equal fran
chise to white citizens. An amend
ment by Senator Underwood, left
pending when the senate adjourned,
would provide that popular state
conventions instead of state legis
latures should act on the proposed
addition to the constitution.
Speakers against the resolution
took as their argument that the
franchise measure would abridge
state rights and impair popular gov
ernment. Senator Lenroot, in re
plying to Senator Borah, denied that
popular government would suffer
and asserted that it would be pro
moted instead.
In opposing the resolution Sen
ator Reed denounced it as an "out
rage upon our' form of govern
ment." "It is as undemocratic a thing as
ever was attempted," said the Mis
souri senator.

their efforts to reassembling frag
ments of the man who was killed
iast night at the door of Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer's home
while attempting to plant his cargo
of explosives. Mr. Palmer himself
dismissed the incidents today as ""ut
ter failue to terrorize the country
and stay the hand of the govern
ment," which purpose he ascribed to
the authors of the outrages.
Police at New York,. Philadelphia.
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Newtonville,
Mass.; Boston, and Paterson, N. J.,
were engaged in the widespread
hunt. Detectives were sent from
Washington to the first two named
cities in order to connect up opera
tions. The hat of the Washington bomb
planter, purchased in Philadelphia,
and other details, indicated a possi
bility that the conslgnmeat of ex
plosives had been sent out from
there. Another connecting link in
the view of authorities here, was the
similarity of the anarchistic hand
bills found near the scene of the
explosion in several cities.
Think Two Bombs Exploded.
Government experts on explosives, "
after surveying the site of the ex
plosion here and the partially de
molished dwelling, came to the con
clusion that two separate bombs ex
ploded, probably when the man car
rying them tripped over a stone step
at the entrance. . V
In both houses of congress, mem
bers began the preparation of meas
ures providing new and severe pen
alties for convicted perpetrators of
such crimes. References to the out
rages were made during debate in
both houses.
Curious crowds filled the side
walks and streets for a considerable
distance around the Palmer resi
dence in Washington's fashionable
northwest district all dav and police,
were forced to rope off and guard
the area.
Attorney , General Palmer , and -members
of his family took up tem
porary residence with friends. 'Mr.
Palmer personally directed com
mencement of repair work today.
Postmaster General Burleson, in a
statement tonight referring to pub-'
lisbed reports that he had received
anonymous letters threatening him
with attacks, said like all public men .
he had received anonymous letters,
but at no time had paid the slightest
attention to them, not even referring
to the inspectors division for investi
gation. : "
"The outrages of last night," said
Attorney General Palmer, in a for
mal statement, "indicate nothing but
the lawless attempt of an anarchistic
element in the population to terror
ize the country and thus stay the
hand of the government. This they
have utterly failed to do. The pur
poses of the Department of Justice
(are the same today as yesterday.
i nese attacks by bomb tnrowers will
only increase and extend the activi
ties of our crime-detecting forces.
We are determined now, as hereto
fore, that organized crime directed
against organized government in this
country shall be stopped."

sentative Mondell, the republican
