Balsinger told the American au

encountered the Germans he was
several yards ahead of Madsen. Bal
singer said he dropped his rifle as
soon as he saw the Germans, who a
second afterward began to shoot at
Madsen. The Germans contend that
Madsen fired at them. Balsinger
declared that the Germans fired first

not see him shoot or hear the shot.

Detectives George Armstrong and
George Brigham, charged with man
slaughter for the murder of Eu
gene Scott, Plaza hotel bellboy,
early last Monday morning, will be
suspended from the police force
in the event Judge Fitzgerald holds
them for the district court at the
preliminary hearing in police court
Wednesday?
Indignant negro citizens, repre
senting the Omaha branch of the
National Association for" the Pro
tection of Colored People, who
called at the city hall Saturday, were
pledged this action would be taken
by the heads of the police depart
ment provided nothing would be
done pending the outcome of the
preliminary hearing.
Upon recommendation of t h'e
grievance committee at a meeting
held yesterday afternoon by the
colored association at St. John's
church, North Twenty-fourth and
Grant streets, it was decided to
await the outcome in police court
Wednesday morning.

the grievance committee, reported
the result of the city hall confer
ence. He did not reveal the identity
of the city hall official who obli
gated himself to see that the two
detectives were suspended if they
are held to face trial in district

was unanimously accepted by 750
members of the association who
gathered to take drastic steps pur
suant to the cold-blooded murder
of the negro bellboy.
It was decided to defer action and

Ringer had made the conditional
promise to suspend Armstrong and
Brigham, Galloway declared he was
not free to state. It was declared,
unofficially, however. The commit
tee first called upon the mayor, who
referred them to the police commis
sioner. Mr. Ringer is believed to be
responsible for the promise made to
the committee.
Bring Pressure to Bear.
The agreement was reached with
the members of the protective as
sociation after Commissioner Ringer
and Chief Eberstein had led them to
believe the indicted policemen would
be whitewashed, just as the commis
sioner and the chief have done in
many other similar cases in the
past.
The agreement was made with
the members of the committee, it
was said, only after the most severe
pressure had been brought to bear.

Austria's right of free disposal of
herself."
The German nationalists voted
against signature of the treaty,
while some members of the' South
Tyrolese party abstained from vot
ing. ,The vote was taken after adop
tion without dissent of the government's-
resolution of protest, pre
sented by the Christian socialist,
Hauser, declaring the territorial
clauses of the treaty grossly violate
the national claim to self-determination,
and the basis on which the
armistice was concluded.
"We raise once more our voices
against a peace founded on brute
force," said the resolution. "As one
man, we decline the dividing up of
our peoples into free and unfree, as
is done by this peace. We further
declare that the 4,000,000 Germans
forced under foreign rule will for
all time insist on self-determination
as the only possible basis on which
the modern state may be founded."
The resolution also declares that
ultimate union with Germany is an
absolute necessity and expresses the
hope that when the hatred of the
war dies down this union will be
consummated.
Paris, Sept. 7. The Austrian dele
gation on St. Germain has informed

WILSON POUNDING

Says Treaty Won't Be Rati

Chicago, Sept. 7. In a statement
issued here Sunday, Will H, Hays,
I chajrmanof the rpublican hatioaat.
committee, oeciarea mar rresiaem
Wilson was pounding against a
stone wall in attempting to have the
peace 'treaty ratified without reser
vations. Chairman Hays' statement follows:
"I agree with President Wilson
that the treaty will be ratified, but
the ratification will be accompanied
by reservations absolutely safeguard
ing the full independence and free
dom cf action of this republic. That
is the simple fact which the presi
dent may as well recognize first as
last. At present he is only pound
ing against a stone wall of patriot
ism, which has already become im
pregnable and is daily increasing in
width, strength and height.
Won't Be Coefced.
"The committee reservations con
stitute the irreducible minimum of
the requirements of a substantial
majority of senators who cannot be
coerced vor cajoled , into violating
their oaths of office to hold America
first. There is no partisanship in
their position. True, every republi
can senator, without exception,
stands with the committee, but be
cause he is an American, not because
he is a republican. I sincerely be
lieve further that an actual major
ity of the democratic senators feel
the same way and evidences multi
ply daily that when the time comes
a considerable number will vote the
same way.
Up to President
"It is for the president to deter
mine when the test shall be made.
The treaty will be reported out" this
week and a vote can be had as soon
as it can be reached under the rules,
unless it is delayed by senators act
ing under the direction of the presi
dent himself. It is simply now up
to the administration to decide
whether it will or will not accept at
once these essential guarantees of
American independence which will
unquestionably be promptly accept
ed by the other nations. It is im
perative that this matter be settled
right. It ought, by all means, to be
settled promptly. 'The full respon
sibility for any delay will rest upon
the president and him alone."

a public writing table and wrote a
letter, and then took a stroll through
a rear parlor, exchanging greetings
with several people he met there.

explored a couple of hallways nearby
and took another look down into
the I6bby.
The president seemed to enjoy his
afternoon automobile ride, immense

After a morning speech' at Tacoma
on Saturday, the president will go
to Seattle, where he will speak in
the evening after the fleet review.
