THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 16, 1919. CLOTURE HURRIES DEBATE ON PEACE PACT INSENATE In five Hours Legislators Adopt Ten More Reserva tions and, Set Stage For Decision. Washington, Nov. 15. At last clamping' down the lid on its peace treaty debate, the senate substituted action for discussion today with a vigor that quickly advanced the rati fication fight into its final stages. Working under cloture for the first -time in -history, the senate adopted in five hours 10 more of the reservations written by the foreign relations committee, and with only two committee proposals remaining set the parliamentary stage for a de cision or a deadlock on the treaty early next week. Republican and democratic leaders worked together to invoke cloture. piling up a majority which far ex ceeded the two-thirds necessary lot adoption. In the count of 78 to 15, the two parties contributed about evenly. G. O. P. Takes Charge. The roil call over, however, and cloture a fact, the republican man agers took complete charge and swept everything betore tnem. Kes crvation after reservation went through just as it came from the committee until the democrats ap parently abandoned hope of making modifications and resigned them selves to a passive resistance. , Majorities ranging from 11 to 29, marked adoption of the 10 reserva tions. They related to domestic questions, the Monroe doctrine, man dates, Shantung, international com missions, expenses of the league of nations, armaments, the economic boycott and alien property rights. In every case except one the re publicans voted solidly for the com mittee proposals. They were joined on every roll call by from four to nine democrats. In all an even dozen senators of the administration party broke away during the day to vote for reservations. The sole defec tion from the republican ranks was on the Shantung reservation, Sena tor , McCumber of North Dakota swinging over to the opposition. Compromise Later. Not the least significant of the day's developments, in the view of senators looking forward to a com plex parliamentary snarl before final action on the treaty is reached, was a ruling by Vice President Marshall, just preceding the cloture vote. He held that should the administration senators vote down ratification with reservations, as they intend to do, they will have an opportunity later to get action on a compromise rati fication resolution. Tq, that decision the republican leaders took exception, "serving no tice that when the issue developed they . would appeal to the senate it Self to settle the question. A plain majority can overrule the presiding officer and the republicans assert they still will hold the whip hand lt picuuuc A acyuiiu vvlc wit ,.- rication. They told their democratic colleagues that if they voted against The Bee's Free Shoe ' Fund "I have five little children and none of them have shoes," a woman told us by telephone today. "Can't you do something for us? My hus band died last spring. I don't know how w will get through the win ter." The five little ones all have warm shoes now, bought by The Bee's fund after careful investigation of the case. . , There are so many other cases just like this one that the demand tor money for this fund is enor mous from the deserving very poor in Omaha.

American Export Control. The vote on the reservation re garding American export control was 54 to 40, with five democrats, Gore, Reed, Shields, Smith, Georgia; and Walsh, Massachusetts, support ing the republicans. The next reservation relating to the, expenses of the league of na tions -was adopted without debate. The vote was 56 to 3, with Sena tors Gore. Keed, Miieias, Mnitn, Georgia; Thomas and Walsh, of Massachusetts, voting wun me re publicans. - lhe text toiiows: The United States shall not be obligated to contribute to any ex penses of the league ot nations, or of the secretariat, or of any com mission, or committee, or confer ence, or other agency organized under the league ot nations or unaer the -treaty or for the purpose of carrying out the treaty provisions unless and until an appropriation of funds available for such expenses shall 4iave been made by the con gress of the United States." Armaments Reservation. The text of the rc o vation on the publication as to armaments as adopted js as follows: "If the United States shall at any time adopt any plan for the limita tion of armaments proposed by the council i of the league of nations under the provisions of article 8, it reserves the right to increase such armaments without the consent of the council whenever the United States is threatened with invasion or engaged in war." 1 The armament reservation was ap proved, 59 to 36, with the following democrats voting in its support: Gore, Myers, Reed, Shields, Smith (Georgia), Thomas and Walsh, Mas sachusetts. ' The reservation on economic boy cots as adopted is as follows: "The United States reserves the right to permit, in its discretion the nationals of a covenant-breaking state, as defined in Article 16 of the covenant of the league of nations, re siding within the United States or in countries other than that violating said Article 16, to continue their commercial financial and personal relations with the nationals of the United, States." , . The 'vote on this reservation was 53 to 41. Senators Gore, Reed, Shields, Smith (Ga.), and Walsh (Mass.), all democrats, voted for it. Enemy Allen Property. The reservation relating to enemy alien property reads: ."Nothing in Articles 296 and 297, or in any of the annexes thereto, or in any other article, section or annex of the treaty of peace with Germany shall, as against citizens of the United States be taken to mean any confirmation, ratification or ap proval of any act otherwise illegal or in contravention of the rights of citizens of the United States." The vote on this reservation was 52 to 41, with Senators Reed, Gore, Shields and Walsh (Mass.) again lining up with the republicans.' Hitchcock Is Busy. Senator Hitchcock began tonight final efforts toward compromise. He called for a conference of the treaty's friends to meet as soon as the senate completes action on com mittee reservations. The meeting, which expected to take place Mon day or Tuesday, will be open to both democrats and republicans, mild reservation republicans being ex pected to play an important part in the final outcome. So far senators of this group have indicated they would accept no compromise after the senate once had voted on rati fication. - - $1,000,000 Tire. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 15.

Cubist-Futurist Upheaval, Which Omaha Has Never Seen, Is Another Form of Same Idea. By LETA MOORE MEYER. The Fine Arts exhibition, as it is arranged, is in itself a composition. Everything seems to focus upon "The Setting Sun," by Ralph A. Blakelock, which hangs in the cen ter of the west wall, a significant location, and the picture itself is a vista leading to the sun. There is nothing in nature so fascinating and enticing as a vista, seeming to beck on one on to things unseen and ideal. This picture is especially cood in texture, that is, each part shows the texture which best defines its individual nature. The water looks wet and liquid, level as water must be, and one can almost guess its depth. The leaves show that they are made up of small parts and are dependent upon something else for support while the trunks are solid, rough, stationary and independent. The difference between the twn kinds of trees i-, well worked out aim the ground is individual, esne cially in the distance, making one feel the character of the surround ing country. The picture is remark able for its unity, tha"t is, the sac rifice of all else to one central point or mea. ' une s eye comprehends one thing and rests there and is not pulled elsewhere and interest con fused. Unity is the biggest principle in art. So much for the technical aspects which appeal to the mind. Intense Mysticlsom. From the spiritual standpoint of feeling there is the intense mys ticism and sensitiveness characteris tic of Blakelock, thme attempting to delve into the great problems of philosophy, nature arid science, the effort to understand the unsolvable which would drive anyone to in ganity if he dwelt upon. them con tinuously. The unfathomable sky is especially fine in feeling. Blakelock, wild died the past sum ncr at the age of 72, was one of those unfortunate artists who never enjoyed the prosperity he deserved. It is a pity he cannot see one of his best pictures hanging in Omaha at n valuation of 15,000 for he lost his mind many years ago. He lived, as a young man, in abject poverty un able to sell his pictures and never knew of their later appreciation by the public. . .. He spent most of his life-in an in, sane asylum, always 'planning to paint a great masterpiece. For tunately few artists suffer so much financially, contrary to the popular idea, at least in these days when Sargent gets $60,000 for a bare can vas with a promise to paint on it. Bolshevism in Art. Bolshevism lias invaded every form of art; literature, music, drama, painting. The cubist-futurist up heaval which ran riot in the east and which Omaha has never seen, so far a I know, is the bolshevist idea in another form. Happily it is waning. "Normandy Church, Sunset," by Henry Golden Dearth, is an ex ample of sane art in the midst of chaos, the parallel of the well-balanced element in our social fabric, which indeed is an element of this exhibition. Dearth has here held to the traditions of the great art of tie past of the Barbizon school and of the great masters, to a good solid fcundation of drawing, technique and composition. The feeling is lively, tender and loyal; it is balanced and . conserv ative. He has even forced the com position somewhat by introducing dark tones in the, edges of the can vas about the sky fothe purpose of centralizing the interest. The whole atmosphere of it is typically French and rustic. "The Evening Hour," by Louis Paul Dessar is another ex ample of restrained art. It is strange that, Dearth, in the last few years before his death in 191$, leaned somewhat toward the futurist style. His work has been much discussed the last two or three years, really amounting to a sensation.

Nw Tort Clt Notable Portrait of Omaha Artist Commands Attention ft Tva r44 351' V. M 3V cT. Zaurie WkfZaee The "Portrait of Mrs. Maloney," by J. Laurie Wallace, commanded attention from all art lovers gathered to witness the opening night of the Omaha Art Gild's ex hibition at the Omaha Public library. The combination of virility and subtlety in the handling of this spe cimen of Omaha's foremost por trait painter is one of the outstand ing features of the exhibition. The exhibit will continue for two weeks and is a good exposition of the works of local artists, many of whom show notable ability in their contributions. Chicago- and other cities created great interest. His is one of the best pictures in the show. "A Boy and His Dog," by John La Farge, is unique. Only a few easel pictures were ever done by this mural painter who decorated the capitol in St. Paul and many other buildings, and afo designed many stained glass windows, notab ly those in the Church of the Ascen sion on Fifth avenue. New York. This is said to be the only one of his pictures available for exhibition or sale. It has peculiarly decorative qualities and charm of color. Hurrahs for Bolsheviki. Los Angeles, Cal., Nov.

Prominent Mason Dies At Home; 68 Years Old J. H. Boonstra, 68 years old, died Saturday at his home, 1504 South Twentieth street. He came to Omaha 40 years ago arid for a number of years was proprietor of the Bee Hive Cleaning works. He was employed as a bookkeeper for the Orchard Wilhelm company at the time of his death. He was a member of St. Johns Masonic lodge, was a 32d de gree Mason and a K. C. C li. fie is survived by his widow, one daughter, Helen, of Omaha, and four sons, Carl and Oscar of Omaha, John of Des Moines and Richard of Clay Center, Neb.

Selecting Your ' - y&-S De!ltlst A comparison of service rendered by advertising and non - advertising Dentists.' (Article Two) "All dentists arc not equal," says a highly respected dental friend, as a clincher to his argument for charging more for his services. No all .dentists are not equal neither are all men but all dentists must measure up to a certain stand ard before being given a diploma by their college and license by their state, hence it is childish to claim all the good for one class or all the bad for the other. Therefore, if two dentists receiving the same diploma from the same college the same year start out to practice and one caters only to a "select few" and frequents clubs, theaters and churches to secure pat ronage you may naturally expect to be charged more, because a dentist makes his living from his practice and the fewer his patients the more each must pay, but that does not make him a better dentist. If the other dentist uses the power of the press to tell people where he is located, presents his credentials, attracts many patients and by good work holds their patronage, he can afford and usually does do better work for less money, a!hd that does not make him an inferior dentist. In this office we make no pretense of doing "cheap" dentistry but we do give guaranteed dentistry for less than would be possible under other conditions. Thousands of local people have found this out to their advantage. If you have not you are especially in vited to come here without charge or obligation for an examination of your teeth next time you need dental work.

OMAHA ART GUILD EXHIBIT OPENS AT PUBLIC LIBRARY Display of 7 1 Paintings Showi Many of Rare Merit. The sixth annual exhibition of the Omaha Art guild opened last night at the public library with 71 paint ings on display, many of rare merit. Practically all the paintings were done by Omaha artists and a large majority of them showed the touch Of a skilled hand and an artistic con science. ' . ' Portraits by J. Laurie Wallace attracted much favorable comment by the art lovers of the city. His "Joyous Youth" and portrait of Wal lace Lyman were of particular merit. Both showed a keen observation of details seldom equalled, even by the older masters, j x But Mr. Wallace is versatile and his "Swimming Hole," a joyous pic ture of happy youth and nature in its gayest mood, held the attention of many. A series of landscape views by George Barker, jr., fairly trans planted one to open spaces, where the harmony of color runs riot. Mr. Barker was particularly fortunate in catching good lights and his sketch ing points must have been excep tionally well chosen. "The Picture Book," painted by Doane Powell, is an interesting in terior view, exceptionally well done. The plain interior decorations of the i room and natural position of the . girl figure forms a combination of phasing simplicity. 1 he colors are fresh and invigorating. "Susan," a child portrait by Cor i delia Johnson, is lifelike to the ex treme. The bright figure of a little girl, with background of dark tap estry of interesting design, forms a pleasing contrast seldom equaled. GRAND JURY WILL GIVE RIOT PROBE REPORTJONDAY About 115 Indictments Re turned On 11 Charges Dur ing the 33 Days of Investigation. The special grand jury which be gan on October 8 the investigation of the riot, fire and lynching which occurred at the court house the night of September 28, completed taking testimony Friday afternoon and is now preparing a report to be sub mitted to Presiding Judge Redick, Monday.

For this alone it is adored by artists and approved by the hyper critical. It embodies the true principles of tone reproduction and com plies with the established laws of acoustics in projecting tone. Two revolutionary factors, among others, essentially different from other phonographs, make this possible. They are the Ultona and the Tone Amplifier. The Ultona Plays All Records The Ultona a product of creative genius enables one to play all makes of records on the Brunswick. Not a combination contrivance ;nor complex mechanism, yet involving a fundamental principle of sound. By a light turn of the hand it supplies the proper needle, correct weight and precise diaphragm. The Amplifier Enriches Tone As the name implies it amplifies tone, making it truer and sweeter. It is a vibrant tone chamber like the sounding board of a fine piano or violin. Constructed entirely of moulded hollywood and free from metal, it gives the requisite resilience for unfolding and projecting true tone.
