JOHNSON ENDS
TOUR AGAINST
LEAGUE PACT
. . .-. ... 'i . .
Makes Three Addresses in
Twin Cities; Many Turned
Away; Wishes Roose
velt Werepve. ,
Minneapolis, Sept. 20. (By The
Associated Press.) With three 'ad
dresses in the Twin Cities today,
Senator Hiram W. Johnson conclud
ed his speaking trip through the
middle west opposing the ratification
of the league of nations covenant in
its present form. At noon he ad
dressed a large gathering at the
Metropolitan opera house in S.
Paul and at 4 p. m. he spoke to the
Lincoln club in Minneapolis.
"Tonight the climax of a strenuous
day of speechmaklng was reached
when he addressed a mass meeting
which packed the Armory in Min
neapolis. Many were turned iway
unable to find stariding room. May
or J. E. Meyers introduced Senator
Johnson at the armory meeting,
where the Cahfornian was cheered
for several minutes when he entered
the hall. ,
Answering President Wilson s
statement that Theodore Roosevelt
would favor the league of nations'
were he alive today, Senator John
son(said: '
Need of Roosevelt.
"Mr. Wilson, hard nressed, quoted
yesterday Theodore Roosevelt. Oh,
if Roosevelt were only here, ine
nation never needed him more. His
commanding personality, his lofty
patriotism, his love for and ride ,in
our nation, his verv personality typ
ical of. our republic, his loyalty to
the great, cause of democracy, his
fearlessness in attacking any di
vided allegiance to our country, his
red-blooded Americanism, would
nave made short work of the un
American thing which Mr. Wilson
seeks to foist upon us. How strange
and weird and unnatural it seems
for Mr. Wilon to quqfte Theodore
Koosevelt. I rev nave ever Deen tne
antithesis of each other. j
"One with clear vision and un
erring wisdom saw the possibilities
of the great world war and our in
terest in it. The other with feeble"
and flabby phrases preached the doc
trine of neutrality in deed ana
thought. ' Roosevelt, ' when it was
unpopular to do so, denounced
wron? and aggression, broken na
tional faith and ruthless militarism.
Wilson, for three years before we
got into the war, was unable to tell
for what the nations of the earth
were fighting and told us each side
was battling for the same hidden
cause. I
Failed to Vision.
"For two vears and a half he
neither saw nor understood the un
derlying forces in civilization s ti
tanic struggle. Unmoved and un
touched he witnessed the crime
agamt Belgium . and the assault
upon humanity. He now speaks
learnedly on the initial phases or
the conflict, the actuating reasons,
the roots of the cataclysm. Until
the beginning of 1917, he told a dif
ferent tale and spoke another story.
It is onTv now. when the exigencies
of his league demand another pre
sentation, with a wholly dmerent
background, that he reverses his ut
terances from 1914 to 1917 and as
sumes now to tell us the causes of
the war, the underlying forces of
the ruthless , militarism which
pounced upon an unsuspecting
world, and paints a picture utterly
the reverse of that which he painted
to the American people for nearly
three years. And during all this
time Roosevelt clearly saw and he
sounded his trumoet call to the
American people of preparation for
the mevitaDie. wniie :vir. vvnson in
utter indifference or with unseeing
eyes, again and again publicly stat
ed that both sides were ngnting ior
the same unknown reasons and that
justice substantially rested with
neither.
Scorned Wilson's Ideas.
"Of course, Mr. Roosevelt, like all
the rest of us, would have gone far
to have prevented war. But when
any man says that he would for a
single instant have accepted the
pro-British document which would
put the country he so dearly loved
within the power or direction, com
mand or recommendation of foreign
nations, that man affronts the rev
ered memory of Theodore Roose
velt None who knew Roosevelt,
none who talked to him during his
last days but know that his heart
and his soul revolted at Mr. Wilson's
internationalism and Mr. Wilson's
endeavor to subordinate to foreign
nations the American republic.
" "The debate in congress yesterday
indicates that gradually the issue
which the proponents of the league
have eWr sought to obscure is be
coming increasingly plain. The able
and distinguished senator from Min
nesota boldly announces that he be
lieves in maintaining our troops in
Russia and Siberia and that upon
us is the moral responsibility at least
to maintain the new nations set up
by the peace treaty. -
No-Moral Responsibility.
"If a moral responsibility exists
for us to protect and preserve and
maintain these new nations, the re
sponsibility also exists to protect
them with our power. And if this
responsibility exists, it means no
matter how much we may say that
we deem the responsibility only
moral, that; American troops must
for all time in the future, whenever
it be necessary, patrol threatened na
tions in Europe.

Certain members ofethe Omaha
police force fear there is a "Black
Hand" plot on foot to kill them, they
It is said that "black handers" here
have attracted the attention of fed
eral officers' and city detectives dur
ing the past three weeks, following
a telegraphic report from Denver
that a "gunman of a ' Black Hand
gang" had shot and killed George
Klein, a Denver detective, on the I
nigfit of August 28, ana later left for
this city. : ;
Through an investigation of tips
concerning alleged Black Hand plots
in Kansas City and Omaha, it was
declared yesterday that the lives of
a number of Omaha police officers
have been threatened.
No Warning Given.
According to information gathered
no warning in the way of Black
Hand letters were to be sent to the
victims. Indirectly, the investigators
of the case have learned that the
police officers were "to be killed by
the end of the month."
Their names are withheld by fed
eral authorities. J. J. Daly, head of
the Department of Justice operatives
in Omaha, refuses to give out any
information of the threats. His op
eratives, who nave been working: on
the cases, have been" instructed to
keep reports of their investigations
absolutely secret
following a shootinjr in the Ital
ian district 10 days ago, in which a
member of the gang here is report
ed to have shot twice at his wife
because she Jcnew too much." two
city detectives were detailed to work
in conjunction with federal officials.
No report of the shooting was made
public by police. The woman in the
case escaped injury. Her name is
withheld by authorities' because of
threats made to kill her if "she
talked," it was said.
Say Gangsters Here., :
It was not until several days after
Klein, the Denver detective, was
shot that police are said to have
learned of the importation here of
Black Hand'prahcsters from the Ital
ian district in Kansas City, a source
of many mysterious murders in
which shotguns were used.
It was reported that Klein was
shot and killed by mistake, the fa
tal bullet having been .planned to
strike his partner. A mysterious
telephone call to Klein's partner -on
the night of August 25 informed him
of the "death threat before the end
of the month," according to infor
mation gathered by Denver 'police
and federal officials.
Klein's partner was believed by
the assailant to have been visiting
at the Kleinhome the night of the
shooting. Klein's slayer is said to
have come to Omaha. He carried
away all evidence of the shooting,
including empty cartridges, accord
ing to reports from Denver.
. Klein was head of Denver's "pro
hibition squad" and had been active
in running down bootleggers.
. Planning Big Raid.
With the rumored plots of death
against Omaha police officers, fed
eral authorities are awaiting the
time to swoop down upon the gang.
It is the opinion of federal opera
tives here that the Black Hand lead
ers in Denver and Kansas City are
directing a ' campaign to murder
liquor agents.
The murder for robbery of two
wealthy men out in the state also is
being investigated by federal of
ficials following the unearthing of
Black Hand letters sent to the victims
several days before, their death.
Only upon the rounding up of the
various affiliated gangs in ; Denver,
Kansas City and Omaha will in
formation of certain mysterious
shootings be given out, federal au
thorities declare.
' Only the Beginning;
"This work is only the begirtfung
of trouble," a detective working on
the case here declared. "There'll be
a lot more popping soon."
When ' questioned concerning
threats of death against them, the
"marked" police officers each de
clared they "have been instructed by
federal officials to say nothing." J
"You'll learn later," one of them
said. 1
Federal authorities under the di
rection of Operator Daly are said to
be conducting one 'of the most sys
tematic and secret investigations
ever planned, in- co-operation with
the officials of Kansas City and Den
ver districts. .
Scare Is Police Theory.
When asked about the alleged
Black Hand plots in Omaha, A.
Venuto, Italian consul for. Nebraska,
said: ,
"It i? preposterous to think of such
a thing. My people are hard work
ing and earn their daily bread by
labor rather than through Black
Hand schemes. Of course, there are
black sheep everywhere, but I know
there are no 'death plots' for rob
bery or other causes brewing in the
Italian district here.",

Omaha is consuming less water
per capita this year than in 1910,
notwithstanding that the average
daily consumption has increased
from 19,300,000 in 1910, tp 20,250,000
to date this year. ' '
This paradoxical showing is ac
counted for by the metered service

Meter Service Increases.
July 31, 1912, the Omaha water plant
was- serving 12,83? metered patrons
and 10,135 on flat rates. Under munic

has steadily increased, until at the
present time there are only 500
services not metered, and more than
31,000 metered services.
A comparison with 140 cities has
been made, showing that75 reported
a decreased per capita consumption
for 1919, while 62 report higher
consumption, and three are un

Declares Writer
. i--
By Universal Srrloe,
Berlin, Sept. 20.: Intimate
glimpses into the character and
feelings, of ex-Emperor Charles of
Austria are given by General Von
Stein, the former German quarter
master general, in a book called
"Reminiscences of the Great War."
In it he quotes the Austrian ex
ruler as having frequently called
Hindenburg and Ludendorf "pigs."
The writer says Charles was . "a
weak ruler, whom nobody took se
riously." . The people of Vienna
openly made fun of him in the
streets. Von Stein adds.
"His most ardent wish was .to be
one day crowned king of Poland.
He was ready for any sacrifice ex
cept that of his crown," the writer
continues. "He and our other allies
were weaklings, and we were too
soft with them. They dragged ui
into ruin." '
