Colt Impressed by
Wilson's Arguments
on Shantung Award
(Continued From Fas One.)
that the president might make a
public statement soon on the sub
Still Opposes Reservations.
Senator McCumber is the only re
publican member of the foreign re
lations committee who has favored
the league and it is understood Mr.
Wilson talked over with him com-
mission action on the treaty and the
general situation on the republican
side of the senate. Senator Nelson
never has made a public declaration
for or against the treaty. To all of
his callers the president is said to
have reiterated his opposition to
reservations of any character in
senate ratification of the treaty.
The president Friday will continue
his talks with senators inclined to
be friendly toward the treaty pro
visions, though it is expected that
later he will seek a conference with
virtually every republican senator,
including those who have most bit
terly opposed ratification. Senators
Rellogg, Minnesota, and Kenyon,
Iowa, both of whom have kept open
minds on the treaty, have been in
vited to call onhe president Friday
morning and Senators McNary Ore
gon, a league supporter, and Capper,
Kansas, who has taken no definite
stand in the matter:
No Right to Summon Wilson.
The position of the foreign rela
tions committee with regard to
meeting the president as a body was
explained in a statement by Chair
man Lodge, who said no congres
sional committee "has any right or
should have any right to summon"
a president before it, and that Mr.
Wilson had not asked to appear.
While the president was begin
ning his White House conferences
the senate left Shantung and the
league and adopted without a record
vote a resolution by Senator Borah,
republican, Idaho, asking for infor
mation relative to the Shantung ne
gotiations. Specifically the measure, which
was not debated, asks the president
for any information as to whether
the Chinese delegates were "intimi
dated" by the Japanese and requests
a copy of a letter said to have been
written on behalf of General Bliss,
Secretary Lansing and Henry White,
protesting against the Shantung settlement.
Constitution Unhurt.
In his address announcing ac
ceptance of the league principles,
Senator Colt declared the covenant
would not conflict with the Amer
ican constitution nor create a super-
government, and asserted that if
it is unthinkable to desert England
and France and Italy when the
world is in chaos then we must. De
come a member of the league as
providing the only machinery for
the restoration of peace' and order."
He withheld judgment, however, as
to : the Monro? doctrine and other
features.

The strike was called as a protest
against alleged delay on the part of
the war labor board in announcing
an award in the wage dispute be
tween the company and the car
men.
The strikers demand an eight
hour day anda wage of cents
an hour.

Fremont, Neb., July 17. (Special

close here Thursday evening. A
light shower at 5 p. m. kept down

its control under the peace treaty.
He characterized the league as the
colossal confidence game of ages.
A referendum to determine the

Youthful "Bad Man"
Tears Up Blankets
in Cell; Breaks Down
Freehold, N. J.tfuly 17. Edward,
O'Brien, the youth held here for
extradition to New York, where he
was indicted yesterday for the mur
der of Gardiner C Hull, a Manhat
tan stationer, was discovered short
ly before nvdnight tearing his blan
kets and apparently tieing them into
a rope. Jail officials believe he was
planning to take his life by hanging
in the manner in which Dr. Walter
Keene Wilkins, convicted of slaying
his wife, committed suicide in the
Mineola tail.
Guards entered O'Brien's cell and
everything by which he could harm
himself was taken away.
O'Brien has broken down, jail of
ficials say, and rapidly is losing the
bravado which characterized him
when he made his confessions of
the crime and told tales designed
to stamp him as a "bad man." He
recanted last night his declaration
that he killed Mrs. Wilkips.

house was marching through the
center aisle to be counted after de
mand for tellers had been made,
distress calls were sent out for
prohibition members, who came pil
ing in, in sufficient numbers to beat
the jury trial amendment by two
votes 78 to 76.
Aftc; rounding up a quorum the
house took up the constitutional
prohibition enforcement bill, set
down as part two of the measure,
and defeated, 71 to 35, an amend
ment by Representative Igoe, demo
crat, Missouri, eliminating the
definition of intoxicants. This was
precisely what was done the other
day to the wartime act and was in
accord with expectations.
The house was proceeding rather
rapidly with consideration of the
bill, with Chairman Volstead pre
paring to close the debate, when
the minority protested. Meanwhile
amendments were being offered and
voted down without ceremony,
while those presented by the chair
man went down in rapid succes
sion. When the house quit work at 10
o'clock Thursday night it was in
the midst of the utmost confusion
over a series of amendments offered
by Chairman Volstead relating to
flavoring extracts, and it was agreed
to have them printed in the record
so that the members could see what
it was all about.
Without debate the prohibition
ists voted down a set of amend
ments offered by Representative
Gard that would have made the
bill more drastic.
An amendment by Representative
Wilson, democrat, Pennsylvania, to
permit a citizen to make wine and
cider for his own use was defeated,
72 to 50.
Mr. Volstead's flavoring extract
amendment was adopted, 74 to 49.
No American Consuls
in German Ports Yet
Paris, July 17. (By the Associ
ted Press.) There are no American
consuls in the German ports yet.
British, French and other European
consuls are already clearing ships.
The American relief administration
has cleared in German ports two
food supply ships and one with cot
ton, but Director General Hoover
refuses to issue papers to additional
ships without legal authority.
The cotton cargo was for Czecho
slovakia; the food ships carried
cargoes privately owned for Ger
man sale.
Raynham Plane Wrecked
on Its Trial Flight
St. Johns, N. F., July 17. Fred
erick P. Raynham failed again today
to get away on an attempted trans
atlantic flight in his Martinsyde
plane. The machine rose only 30
feet and then crashed to the ground.
It was completely wrecked, but
neither Raynham nor his navigator,
Lieut. Conrad H. Biddlecombe, was
injured.

OBEY CONTRACTS

STRIKERS TOLD
Chicago Employers Threaten
to Keep 100,000 Men Out
of Jobs Unless They
Give In.
Chicago, July 17.-Unles9 the 20,
000 carpenters, architectural iron
workers, lathers and bridge and
structural iron workers who are at
present on a strike return to work
Friday and agree to obey the pro
visions of their wage contracts with
employers, building , operations in
Chicago will be halted indefinitely
and more than 100,000 men will be
idle.
This dra'stic method of dealing
with the building strike situation
was decided upon--by the executive
committee of the Building Construe
tion Employers' association of Chi
cago, which discussed the subject
for several hours behind closed
doors before announcing the action
taken. Officials of the association
declared that their industry has been
seriously interfered with for several
months because of the frequent
strikes of various unions and that
recently the situation became intolerable.
They charge that the different un
ions involved refused to be bound
by joint trade agreements covering
the question of wages and hours,
and that as a result of the frequent
walkouts, contractors have sustained
heavy financial losses and that own
ers have been deterred from award
ing contracts for extensive building
projects.
Three-Fourths Ex-Soldiers
Quit Payment on Risks
Washington, July 17. Systematic
decentralization of the bureau of
war risk insurance by the establish
ment at suitable points throughout
the country of local offices for the
more effective transaction of busi
ness is recommended by the advis
ory committee of 13 headed by
Charles tvans Hughes, which naa
been in conference for three days
with Director Cholmeley-Jones and
his assistants.
Work undertaken by the bureau
was declared to be "stupendous" in
which the greatest difficulty at pres
ent was the fact that about 30 per
cent of the addresses of discharged
service men are Incorrect so that
the bureau is unable to communicate
with them regarding the continuance
of their payments and conversion of
the term policies to permanent insurance.
It was declared that approxi
mately three-fourths of the holders
of existing policies, which aggregate
$40,000,000,000 have not continued
their payments, roncies were writ
ten for about 4,000,000 men.

St. Lou.'. Mo., July 17. The Fed

Thursday at the convention of the
national women's business commit

of Commerce of the United States
refused to join the merger, fearing
by so doing it would lose its iden
tity. Although a joint committee, ap
pointed to consider the confedera
tion, reported favorably on it, the
latter organization announced its re
fusal to enter the federation, and the
former convention proceeded to or
ganize along independent lines.
Miss Gail Laughlin, a San Fran

Washington Bureau. Omaha Bee.
Washington, V. C, 'July 17.
Through the personal effort of Rep
resentative Jeffries, the State depart
ment today cabled the American em
bassy in Pans to amend the pass
port of Miss Mona Cowell, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cowell,
of Omaha, to permit her to return
to the United States via England.
Miss Cowell, who has been en
gaged in Red Cross work in France,
went under the usual passport to h?r
destination in Europe, the passport
reading that she would return di
rectly to home in the States from
France. All Red Cross passports are
wired subject to this direct return.
When Congressman Jefferis took
up the matter with the State depart
ment, asking that the passport be
amended at the request of Miss
Cowell, who is at the Hotel Os
borne in Paris, officials informed
the congressman that it was the
policy of the department to have
female war workers return to this
country direct and not spend days
in visiting other countries of Eu
rope when their work was conclud
ed. Thfy even went so far as to
say that they did not want female
Red Cross workers or other war
workers to enter upon art or other
studies in Europe while holding war
workers', passports.
then it occurred to the congress
man that Miss Cowell desired to
visit her father's relatives in Eng
land and sail from there, and with
this explanation instructions were
cabled Paris permitting Miss Cow
ell to visit England before return
ing to the United States.

declared they had no business rela

Nonpartisan league matters several
