SENATORS
REPLY TO
PRESIDENT
Borah and Sherman Spiritedly
Assail Wilson's Addresses in
Campaign for League of
Nations Covenant.
M'CUMBER ATTACKS
G. 0. P. RESERVATIONS
William C.Redfield,?
Member of Wilson's
Cabinet, to Quit Post
S!x Substitutes Submitted for
Committee Report on Behalf
of Senators Favoring "Mild"
Type of Amendment.
Washington, Sept. 5. President
Wilson's addresses to the country
in support of the peace treaty and
league of nations evoked prompt
and spirited replies today from the
senate floor.
Senators Borah, Idaho, and Sher
man, Illinois, republicans, assailed
statements by the president at In- :
dianapolis and Columbus. On the
other hand, Senator McCumber, re- j
publican, North Dakota,, attacked
the treaty reservations adopted yes- j
terday by the foreign relations com- i
mittee and presented six substitute J
reservations regarded as expressing
views of republican senators favor
ing reservations of "mild" type. Re
ferring to the president's statement
at Indianapolis that under the
league "we can inind other people's
business," Senator Borah criticized
American military operations in
Russia, declaring such to be "a usur
pation of power" without authority
under the constitution and for the
purpose of aiding Japan's Siberian
policy.
Resents Labor Plans. -
Senator Sherman resented the
president's assertion in Columbus
that the international labor confer
ence authorized under the peace
treaty would be held here next
month regardless of whether the
senate had ratified the treaty by
that time. The president's attitude
showed a "contemptuous disregard"
of law, the Illinois senator said,
adding that officials had been im
peached for lesser breaches.
In presenting his proposed substi
tute resolution of ratification. Sena
tor McCumber spoke only briefly.
In lieu of the committee reservation
to Article 10 of the league covenant,
he proposed a reservation merely
declaring that specific action be re
quired from congress to make ter
ritorial guarantees effective and
that failure of congress to act as
proposed by Article 10 should not
be considered -a violation of the
covenant. The committee's reserva
tion, Senator McCumber asserted,
would be "far worse" than an
amendment striking out Article JO
and "invites and encourages war."
McCumber Provisions.
Other substitute reservations pro
posed by Mr. McCumber would in
the main change only the phrasing
of the committee reservations re
garding the Monroe doctrine, with
drawal from the league and action
on domestic questions. Two addi
tional reservations presented by
Senator McCumber provide for re
turn of Shantung province by Japan
to China upon adoption of the
treaty and for limitation of voting
power of British colonies in the
league as to disputes with ' the
mother country. The latter two
provisions were covered by the com
mittee as amendments instead of
reservations.
The substitue by Senator McCum
ber follows:
"That the advice and suggestions
t)f the council (of the league) as to
the names of carrying the said obli
gations (article ten) into effect as
only advisory and that any under
taking under the p-jyjsions of ar
ticle 10, the execution of which
may require the use of American
military or naval forces, or econom
ic measures can, under the consti
tution, be carried out only by the
action of congress, and that fail
ure of the congress to adopt the
suggestions of the council of the
league, or to provide such military
or naval forces or economic mea
sures shall not constitute a vio
lation of the treaty."

ator, was defeated for the nomina
tion for president of the board of

WlL-JvlAW C-JREDJvIEID,
Washington, Sept. 5. William C.

NEBRASKAN BUYS
PLANES TO FLY

i
Gothenberg, Neb., Man Makes
First Purchase of Its Kind
in the State.
Grand Islatrd, Neb., Sept. 5.
(Special Telegram.) Stopping here
on his way home from Omaha,
where he had disposed of 12 cars of
blooded stock, Harry J. W. Hiles,
prominent ranchman from the vi
cinity of Gothenburg, purchased of
the Grand Island Aero company

power plane for the use of his fam
ily. He also engaged for his exclusive

three men and he can supervise his
ranches more efficiently. His home
ranch alone consists of 7,000 acres.
His Oriole plane is capable of 120
miles an hour. It is believed to be
the first purchase of the kind on

Refusal Would Be Un-Ameri-I
can and Throw Away Only
I Leverage China Has Upon
! Japan for Province, He Says.
, St. Louis, Sept. 5. (By The Asso
j ciated Press.) In two addresses
here today President Wilson dis
cussed at length disputed points of
the peace treaty and invited those
who opposed it to prove whether
they "are not absolute, contemptible
quitters if they do not see the game
through." '
The Shantung provision, the presi
dent defended as the only solution
possible by which China can be as
sisted in her efforts to regain control
of Shantung province. Analyzing
Article 10 of the league covenant, he
said the league council could only
advise and could not do that without
concurrence of the American mem
bers. The right of revolution, he as
serted, was scrupulously preserved.
The president's first address was
at the Chamber of Commerce lunch
eon after he had been cheered along
the route of a seven-mile automobile
ride through the streets. At night he
spoke in the Coliseum, where in
1916 he was renominated for the
j presidency.
Visit School Chums.
Following the midday address the
president and Mrs. Wilson went for
an automobile ride and stopped at
Washington university to visit some
members of the facuity who were
school chums.
Turning, the president was driven
through the residential section of the
city. He and Mrs. Wilson had sup
per privately.
At 8 o'clock sharp the presidential
party started for the Coliseum and
arrived there at 8:12.
The Coliseum was packed and
when the president arrived the crowd
arose and cheered for more than four
minutes. Thousands of small Amer
ican flags had been distributed and
the audience waved them wildly
while they cheered.
No Time for Picture.
The president was introduced by
Governor Frederick D. Gardner,
who said the people of Missouri had
never been more sincere in extend-,
ing a welcome to any visitor. At
that the crowd cheered again.
When the governor introduced
Mr. Wilson as "the father of world
democracy" there was more cheer
ing. A photographer in a lookout
gallery called through a megaphone
for a moment's attention to take a
flashlight, but the president did not
wait, saying, "this is much too ser
ious an occasion to care how we
look; we ought to care how we
think."
Mr. Wilson declared that to
amend the treaty would mean its
failure and the isolation of the Unit
ed States. Only those who are
ignorant of world affairs, he said,
could believe that even a great na
tion like the United States could
stand by itself and apart.
Playing Lone Hand.
If the United States is to' have
its own economic interests, said the
president, it must save the economic
interests of the world. That
was one reason, he, continued,
why the United States should
have a representative on the
powerful reparation commissions.
If there were no American voice in
this commission, he asserted, this
country would have to put into the
hands of foreign interests seeking
to control world markets American
can money for the rehabilitation of
the world.
"That," said the president, "is
what they call playing a lone hand.
It is playing a lone hand; it is
playing a hand frozen out. Those
who propose these things do not
understand the interests of the Unit
ed States."
"Should America fail to take its
just part in the world rehabilitation,
the president" asserted, the whole at
titude of the world toward America
would be changed. Because the
world trusted so much, he said, the
reaction would be accordingly great.
War Not Political
Emphasizing how economic fea
tures figure in war. Mr. Wrilson de
scribed how the Germans had dis
mantled Belgian factories. The war,
he added, was not a political war,
but a "commercial and industrial
war."
Should the -United States stand
apart, economically and politically,
the president continued, then it must

leased on $2,500 bonds each several
hours after they were booked at
Central police station.
Both declined ta make statements.
Armstrong was released first, fol
lowing the signing of his bonds by
P.. F. Petersen, 101 South Thirty
eighth avenue, of the Petersen &
Pegau Baking company. Following
unsuccessful attempts to get a bonds
man for Armstrong, Sergeant Thes
trup of the morals squad sought the
assistance of Petersen. Petersen was
taken to the police station in the
morals squad car.
Brigham was less fortunate in ob
taining aid. It was late in the after
noon before he was released upon
signature of his bonds by several
South Side commission men.
Edgar Holman, special officer
for the Union Pacific railroad, whom
a coroner's jury ordered held to
district court for the shooting of
Scott, was rearrested at 4 o'clock
by Detectives Haze and Lundeen.
He was released on his old bonds of
$2,500, signed at the time of his
previous arrest, following the shoot

Chief of Police Eberstein refused to
state last night whether Detectives
Armstrong and Brigham would be

War Brings Fortune
to Grand Island
Express Wagon Man
Grand Island, Neb., Sep.. 5.
(Special.) Probably the wealthiest
express wagon driver in the United
States is John H. Brown, employe
of the American Express company
in this city. He is worth somewhere
in the neighborhood of $50,000. The
unexpected, and for a time undis
covered, death of two uncles in
Convoy, Donegal county, Ireland,
is responsible for Brown coming
into possession of real estate and
money worth a fortune. One uncle
left the Grand Island man between
$19,000 and $20,000, and the other
about $30,000.
The world war is primarily res
ponsible for his fortune. He entered
the service at Omaha with the 168th
Iowa, saw service in Germany, and
while there received word from a
relative whose home is in New Zea
land concerning the bequests from
his uncle. If he had been in the
United States he might never have
been apprised of the facts.
Condemn Betrayer
of Edith .Cavell to
Death for Treason
Paris, Sept. 5. Georges Gaston
Quien, on trial before a court mar
tial, charged with having had trea
sonable dealings with the Germans
and of having betrayed Edith Cavfll
to them, was today convicted and
condemned to death.
M. D'Armon, counsel for Quien,
occupied all of the last session of
the court-martial with an eloquent
plea on behalf of his client. He en
deavored to show7 that the name of
Miss Cavell and the tremendous sen
sation created by her execution had
influenced the public opinion against
Quien.
The advocate severely condemned
former Emperor William for per
mitting the crime against Miss
Cavell and the German officers for
committing it. He was certain, he
said, that the conviction of Quien
would be an error of justice.
The court-martial deliberated for
three-quarters of an hour and then
rendered its judgment, condemning
Quieu to death..
ATTEMPT
TO BLOCK
LAW FAILS
Eleventh Hour Amendment of
Southern Senator to Ren
der Ineffective Enforcement
Clause Defeated in Senate.
PANAMA CANAL ZONE IS ;
INCLUDED IN MEASURE
Bill Now Goes to Conference
Intoxicants Defined as
More Than One-Half of
One Per Cent Alcohol.
Washington, Sept. 5. (By the
Associated Press.) The prohibition
enforcement bill was passed by the
senate today without a record vote
and virtually in the form it came
from committee. The measure now'
goes to conference for discussion of :
amendments inserted in the house
bill by the senate.
The only material change made
in the bill in the senate was the ad
dition by amendment of the liquor
and drug prohibition act for the
Panama Canal zone. This measure '
has not yet been acted on by the
house. ...
An eleventh-hour attempt by Sen
ator Shields, democrat, Tennessee, '
to render ineffective the whole sec
tion of the measure relating to en
forcement of war-time prohibitign.
failed, his own vote being the only
cne cast in favor of it. His amend
ment would have limited the opera
tion of the war-time law to the six;
states in which demobilization camps'
are located. . '
Intoxicants Are Defined.
As it passed the senate and goes tAr
conference, the bill deffnes-as an
intoxicant any beverage containing
more than one-half of 1 per cent of
alcohol. The senate modified, how
ever, some of the most rigid pro- .
visions of the house bill, including
that affecting private stocks of al
coholic beverages held for personal
use. ,
Passage of the bill by the senate
was in striking contrast' to its
troublous voyage through the house.
No serious effort to alter its terms
was made except the attempt by
Senator Shields. The Tennessee
senator contended that since jjeniob
ilization was in -fact almost com- ,
pleted this section of the act applied
only to New York ' state as every .
other state where active demobiliza- ,
tion camps were situated was dry by
state statute. He asserted that laws
forbidding sale of intoxicants to men
in uniform and fixing dry zones
about military camps and posts, fully
protected soldiers. J:
May Expire Soon. j
Senator Wadsworth said only 8
per cent of the army remained to be
demobilized, and that passage of a
war-time enforcement act offered the :
curious spectacle of providing for
carrying out a law that was about to :
die. He brought out the fact that
the power of the president to render
this section ineffective whenever
peace was declared by means of a
proclamation terminatin the de
mobilization period, was not changed
and said:
"If events transpire as we : asi-
sume' they will transpire this act
will expire in two months or six
weeks."
"Does the senator mean," asked ,
senator .Fomerene, democrat. Ohio.
'that the treaty will be ratified in '
two months?
"I said nothing about ratifica
tion," Senator Wadsworth replied.
Norris Attempt Fails. . "
Senator Shields declared con-'
gress was. acting under false pre
tenses" in fixing the enforcement
regulations on all of the country
now under the guise of a demobili
zation necessity and denying men
with money invested in the pro
scribed industry a fuller oDoortunitv
to adjust their affairs. Senator
Walsh, democrat, Montana, replied
that congress had made the act ap-'
ply to all of the country, regardless
of the progress of demobilization, ,
unless that process should be c6m"
pleted, and the enforcement meas
ure could only follow that policy.
An attempt by Senator Norris,
republican, Nebraska, to amend the
bill so that violation of regulations
promulgated under its authority,
would not have the same force as '
violation of the law itself. This
provoked considerable discussion,
but the proposal found few support
ers on the vote.
Poincare to Lay Cornerstone

Paris, Sept. 5. President Poin

American ambassador to France,
will be the principal speakers at
the ceremony next Saturday of lay
