carry against the din and many per
sons on the outskirts, unable to
hear, left the hall.
After the president had proceeded
for a few minutes Tie was forced to
suspend while the police closed the
doors.
The president spoke in the Coli
seum at the state fair grounds. The
fair was in session, and the building,
said by residents' to hold more than
10,000 persons, was packed.
The presidential train pulled into
the station promptly at 7 o'clock
and, escorted by a citizens' commit
tee, President Wilson was driven
five miles to the Coliseum.
Along the entire route the streets
were thronged with people who had
turned out to greet him.
When the fair grounds were
reached thousands cheered as the
president made his way into the
hall. Many who had attended the
state fair during the day remained
to hear the president.
President Wilson's special train
left here shortly after 10 o'clock to
night for St. Louis.
In a short talk at Richmond, Ind.,
Mr. Wilson declared the treaty was
made for the protection of the weak
peoples of the earth, and that he
was making his appeal for ratifica
tion as an American and without
partisan considerations. The presi
dent's next scheduled address is in
St. Louis tomorrow night.
Opens Campaign at Columbus
Columbus, Sept. 4. By The As
sociated Preis.) In the first speech
of his transcontinental tour Presi
dent Wilson here today urged the
American people to exert their in
fluence for acceptance by the
United States senate of the peace
treaty signed "with Germany and
predicted that the senate would rat
ify the treaty.
"When this treaty is accepted," he
said, "the men in khaki will never
have to cross the seas again, and I
say when it is accepted because it
will be accepted."
Speaking to a capacity audience
which filled every nook in Memorial
hall, the president said it was not
his purpose during the trip to ?'de
bate" the treaty, but to expound it
io the people. He declared there
was a concert of feeling among the
allied representatives at Versailles.

Treaty Reported
With Reservations
(Continued From Page One.)
troversies between other nations
members of the league or not, or to
employ the military or naval forces
of the United States in such con
troversies, or to adopt economic
measures for the protection of any
other country whether a member of
the league or not, against external
aggression or for the purpose of co
ercing any other country, or for the
purpose of intervention in the in
ternal conflicts or other contro
versies which may arise in any other
country and no mandate shall be ac
cepted by the United States under
Article 22. Part 1 of the treaty of
peace with- Germany, except by
action of congress of the United
States.
To Decide Own Questions.
"3. The United States reserves to
itself exclusively the right to decide
what questions are within its do
mestic jurisdiction and declares that
11 domestic and political questions
relating to its affairs, including im
migration, coastwise traffic, the tar
iff, commerce and all other domes
tic questions rest solely within the
jurisdiction of the United States
and are not under this treaty sub
mitted in any way either to arbitra
tion or to the consideration of the
council or of the assembly of the
league of nations or to the decision
or recommendation of any other
power.
"4.vThe United States declines to
submit for arbitration or inquiry by
the assembly or the council of the
league of nations, provided for in
said treaty of peace, any questions
which in the judgment of the
United States depend upon or relate
to its long established policy, com
monly known as the Monroe doc
trine; said doctrine to be interpret
ed by the United States alone and
is declared to be wholly outside the
jurisdiction of said league of na
tions and entirely unaffected by any
provision contained in the said
treaty of peace with Germany."
The reservations were offered by
Chairman Lodge, and were regard
ed as representing the views of the
republicans advocating drastic res
ervations. It was announced Sen
ator McCumber would offer a sub
stitute ratification resolution in the
senate presenting views of the so
called "mild" reservationists. Sen
ator Lodge said the reservations
were the composite work only of
republican senators advocating
"strong reservations.
The treaty as amended and incor
porating about 40 amendments
adopted recently by the majority
will be reprinted for the senate's de
liberations. The amendments, briefly
provide:
For return of Shantung to Lhina
under the amendment of Senator
Lodge to substitute "China" for
"Japan" in the Shantung section.
For withdrawal of the United
States from representation on the
numerous international commissions.
(This amendment was by Senator
Fall, republican. New Mexico, and
involves about 35 textual changes).
For limitation on the authority of
American representatives on the
reparations commission to act with
out direction of their government,
except on'shioping questions.
Equal Voting Power.
For equal voting power in the
league council and assembly of the
United States and Great Britain.
For a prohibition against British
colonies voting in league delibera
tions on questions between Great
Britain and the United States.
Senator Fall did not press his
amendment proposing elimination
of the provision for an international
labor party.
Adoption of the reservations to
day was strenuously contested by
democratic committeemen, except
Senator Shields . The latter, it was
said, declared emphatically for reservations.
The vote on adoption of the reser
vations was 10 to 7 on the with
drawal provision. 9 to 7 on that af
fecting territorial guarantees and
mandates, and 11 to 6 on those deal-
ing witn domestic questions ana me

Incensed at the killing Monday
morning of Eugene Scott, the ne
gro bellboy whp.was shot to death
in an alleged raid on the Plaza hotel
by the Omaha police, and holding
Paul Sutton, Elmer Thomas' chosen
head of the morals squad, and the
six men who were working under
him, directly responsible, a commit
tee representing the 5,000 members
of the local branch of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People will wait on Mayor
Smith and demand that the police
men be discharged and punished.
Charge Murder I
"Scott was murdered in cold
blood," declared Rev. Thomas A.
Taggart, pastor of the Bethlehem
Baptist church. "I am at a loss to
understand why the police commis
sioner does not do the right thing
and suspend these men pending a
proper investigation of their unlaw
ful and savage operations. This is
the only course which would be fol
lowed in any other civilized com
munity. "These detectives, who are guilty
of numerous other assaults and dep
redations, are permitted to walk
the streets of Omaha with deadly
weapons in their pockets with which!
tney would taKe innocent numau
life. It is time to call a stop. Some
thing simply must be done."
Another Meet Sunday.
C. C. Galloway is chairman of the
committee which is looking after the
matter. A meeting of the associa
tion will be held Sunday, and is ex
pected to pass resolutions denounc
ing Scott's murder, condemning the
heads of the Omaha police depart
ment and demanding that immediate
justice be meted out to those re
sponsible for the bellboy's death.
Copies of the resolutions will be
taken to Mayor Smith and a direct
demand will be made on the city's
chief executive to exercise his au
thority, it was said, since Police
Commissioner Ringer has seen fit to
remain apparently unaffected by the
affair.
"We have little hope of Mr.
Ringer's taking any action in this
matter," declared one member of the
association. "Mr. Ringer in the past
never has failed to ignore similar
cases when political friends of his
on the department have been con
cerned. In fact he has even gone
to the most extreme length to de
fend them against the most serious
charges, regardless of their guilt or
innocence.
Sutton's Convictions.
"Every one knows Commissioner
Ringer, is so advised by Elmer
Thomas, would stand by Paul Sut
ton no matter how black his crimes.
The court records will show Paul
Sutton has been convicted on the
gravest charges ever registered
against an Omaha policeman. Sut
ton, who was discharged by a for
mer city commission, not only is
hired again, but he is assigned to
the most responsible position in the
department.
"We shall not reckon with
Thomas and Mr. Ringer. It seems
to us that Mayor Smith should
awaken to his responsibility. At
least the matter will be placed be
fore him with the demand for a
straighforward reply. No evasive
answers will be tolerated."
Rev. John Albert Williams, presi
dent of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo
ple, attended the coroner's inquest
Wednesday and took a keen interest
in the testimony of every witness.
Time to Take Action.
"It is an outrage and a shame,"
he said. "The boy was murdered
in cold blood. The matter certainly
will not be dropped until those who
are responsible for the crime have
been brought to justice. The limit
has been reached in Omaha. The
time has come for action. If those
who are in authority at the city hall
remain indifferent to their duty, it
is time an appeal is made to higher
authorties. There is a legal manner
in which to proceed under condi
tions of this kind and we propose
to adopt the right methods."
republican, Idaho, and Smith, demo
crat, Arizona, were not present, but
gave proxies.
On the withdrawal reservation the
vote was-
For Adoption Senators Lodge,
Borah, Brandagee, Fall, Knox, Har
ding, Johnson, New and Moses, re
publicans, and Shields, democrat,
against Senators McCumber, repub
lican, and Hitchcock, Williams.
Swanson, Pomerene, Smith and
Pittman, democrats.
Clause Allowing Withdrawal.
A clause in the original reserva
tion presented by Senator Lodge
providing the United States may
withdraw from the league uncondi
tionally within six months, instead
of at the end of two years, as pro
vided in the treaty, was eliminated,
9 to 8, with the republican major
ity and Senator Shields voting to
strike out the time limit amendment
and Senators McCumber and John
son joining six democrats in oppos
ing its elimination.
On the reservation concerning
territorial guarantees and man
dates all 10 republicans, except Sen
ator McCumber, voted for its adop
tion and Senator Shields withheld
his vote. Senator McCumber and
the six democrats voted in the neg
ative. All ten republicans including Mr.
McCumber and Senator Shields
voted for the reservations as to dom
estic affairs and the Monroe doc
trine with the six democrats again
in opposition. No vote was taken
on the provision requiring accept
ance of the reservations of Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan.
Following the committee's action,
democratic leaders reiterated pre
dictions that all of the amendments
would be rejected by the senate, but
refrained from predictions of proba
ble disposition of the reservations.
Chairman Lodge said tonight that
he "would require several days to
draft the majority report and that
probably he wuold be unable to act
ually submit the treaty to the sen
ate before the middle or latter part
of next week. After the majority
report is filed the committee pro
vided that the democratic minority
shall have three days to file their
report. Actual senate deliberations
on the treaty, section as provided by
the constitution are not expected to
begin therefore, before about ten
days.

At these, the two leading hotels in the nation's

At the Willard, Fatima is by far the biggest-selling ciga

This is even further borne out by the fact that at the
