THE OMAHA SUNDAY .BEE: DECEMBER 14, 1919. is. DEADLOCK OVER PEACE TREATY IN SENATE WEAKENS Members on Both Republican And Democratic Sides Make Overtures for Compromise. (Continued From Far Ob.) ' of the railroad bill, said the 'after- : noort had been spent in "political snapshooting." ' Senator Hitchcock charged Mr. Lodge with having changed the po sition he took in his statement de- T flaring the Lodge reservations '"the irreducible minimum" and must be accepted to secure the treaty's ratifi . cation. Senator Lenroot replied that if the administration would ac- rept propositions which certain dem ocratic senators had suggested pri ' vately, a settlement soon would be ' reached. ,. Senator Hitchcock or Senator Un J derwoodt Mr. Lenroot said, should i consult with the president regarding a possible agreement. ' "If we rest with the decision of the president, who is unwilling to ac cept views of an overwhelming ma- . Jority of the senate." he said, ''I can , ce no hope for ratification." Majority Gone to Sleep. Feplying to Mr. Lenroot. Senator Underwood said "the majority of the senate has gone to sleep at the ", (twitch." ' "Thev hold-responsibility for ac tion and I propose, in an out of sea son. Jo call the country's attention ( to their inaction," he declared. At this point Senator Knox sug gested his plan for ratification of r the peace terms of the treaty without action on the league. He asked if Senator Underwood would support such a plan. ;"My personal position," Senator ; . Underwood said, is tor unquanneu ' ratification of the treaty." "But if there is no other way "" to get peace. I would be willing to mpport the resolution proposed by . the senator from Pennsylvania, if there is no pther and better way the president would accept k, and strike out ail -provisions regarding the league of nations so far as we are concerned, nqt compelling Eur opean countries to agree to it, but leave the people ' of the United States to decide whether they will ' elect a congress to ask admission to the league or stay out." t Calls Treaty a Corpse. Senator Knox said his plan would . leave the United States as a po !" tcntial member of the league and the - nation later could decide whether to apply for "full membership." He I added that he would "give other senators an opportunity, to accept , ' his resolution to ratify the peace terms without acting on the league. ' Referring to the treaty as a "corpse," Senator Brandegee, re publican. Connecticut, said it was "distressing to hear the lamenta .! tions after the funeral" and opposed what he characterized as "commit-i tees of humiliation and conciliation." "There will be no committee on conciliation over the remains we interred before the recess," said Mr. Brandegee. . "The treaty, so far as its position here is concerned, is dead, except the remains my be withdrawn by the president. If he wants this defunct piece of paper at the White House, all he has to do is to send for it and we will give it to him with pleasure. Then he can transmit it here." Underwood Starts Things. Discussion of the treaty was started by Senator Underwood, dur ing debate on the railroad bill, blocking progress on the latter for about three hours. Calling attention to press reports that because peace is not ertabhshed American export trade is being in- jured and business and industrial i conditions remaining unsettled, Sen ator Underwood declared the repub lican majority was responsible tor inaction on the treaty and urged prompt ratification. senator Lodge declared that President Wilson was "immovable" in his position, for unreserved rati fication. Only the president "can resurrect" the treaty, he said, by .vilhdrawing and resubmitting it to the senate. Senator Underwood suggested a "conciliation committee" to negoti ate with the president, but this plan Senator Lodge rejected. Senator Hitchcock then suggested commit tees of conciliation representing the republicans aiid democrats to work out a compromise, benator Lodge replied that the president must act, but reiterated his willingness to give careful consideration to any propo sals made. Exchanges Become Sharp. Exchanges between the leaders had become sharp when Senator Knox proposed that to secure a status of peace with Germany the senate adopt his plan rejected last November to ratify the treaty un reservedly so far as peace tearms are concerned but without action on the league of nations. Senator Underwood agreed to sup port the plan so far as he personally was .concerned as the price of Peace." . . Senator Knox then formally pro posed immediate consideration in cpen executive session of his resig nation and Senator Hitchcock promptly objected. Mr. Knox imme diately asked similar action on the resolution, to declare a state of peace with Germany and again Senator Hitchcock objected. - 1 In calling up tlie resolution for declaration of peace with Germany, Senator Knox changed its form from a concurrent resolution as proposed originally ' by Senator Lodge to a joint resolution." His ratification resolution also was altered from its original language as rejected during the special session. As presented to day it reads: "Resolved that the senate of the United, States unreservedly advises and consents to the ratification of the treaty of Versailles insofar only as-it provides for the creation of a status of peace between the United States and Germany." The second resolution following the form of the Lodge measure, pro posed that congress declare "that peace exists between the United States and Germany."

The terminal fuel committee ad journed at yesterday afternoon ifler 14 days of almost continuous session. The members asserted that they intended to begin buying Christmas presents. 7 Mr. Snyder" announced that Omaha would receive nearly 400 cars of coal from eastern points, and that coal from the Rock Springs and Sheridan fields in Wyoming should begin ar riving by the middle of this week in large quantities. Maximum Car Service. R. A. Leussler, general manager of the street railway company, states that his public service corporation will furnish the maximum amount of service. -according to the coal re ceived here. Extra cars were op erated yesterday evening for the shoppers and the service of last week will be doubled between 7 and 1 1 p. m. this week on account of the opening-'of the theaters. "We are beginning to receive ship ments of fuel oil and we believe that the situation generally will clear up rapidly," Mr. Leussler said. "We will get the service back to normal just as soon as coal conditions will permit." . J. E. Davidson, general manager of the Nebraska Power company, is confident that his plant can meet the increased demands that will follow the lifting of the restrictions. This company has been fortunate in ob taining shipments of fuel oil. V.. D. Hosford, Chamber of Com merce member on the local coal committee, who has been in Chi cago several days, has wired assur ances to the committee that 375 cars of eastern coal are enroute to Omaha and should be here Monday or Tuesday. The first shipment of new coal mined last week m the Rock Springs district of southern Wyoming "was started for Omaha yesterday and will be here within a few days. , Keep Schools Closed. "I am of the opinion that the lift ing of the restrictions will not change . the determination of the Board of Education not to reopen schools until January 5." said T. H. Beveridge. superintendent of schools. "The schools would be closed for two weeks' Christmas va cation anyway next Friday. . So this is Omaha, remarked a wayfarer last night when lie viewed the city's "white way" for the first time since , the lights were turned out two weeks vago. Myriads of lighti in shop windows gave a cheering touch, to the scene and elec tric signs added -further brilliancy that almost dawled Omanans who were beginning to find their way in the dark." Stores .beyond the business dis trict were open until 8 or y o clock last night and the downtown cigar, drug and candy stores, and various specialty shops were open for the Saturday night outers. - Mines Being Worked. v The coal committee received re ports that all or the mines in the Rock Serines JzrouD. southern Wyoming, are being worked, and that 75 per cent of the men were back in the Sheridan mines, north em Wyoming, yesterday. Normal production is expected in all Wyom ine mines within a few days. These mines ordinarily produce a total of 6.0O cars of coal a day. Ihe furi tan mines in Colorado, on the Union Pacific, are producing 100 cars a day. One of the most striking features of the local fuel situation during the last few days was the efforts of the motion picture men to prevail upon the coal committee to lift re strictions on theaters without re servations. These movie men, in cluding managers of theaters and members of the Omaha Film board, exchanged many telegrams between Omaha and Washington and other wise brought considerable pressure to bear on the committee. ' They in sisted that an order had been is sued at Washington in their favor. REPORT CAPACITY OUTPUT OF COAL FROM SOME MINES Most of Miners Back at Work In Indiana, According to : Indianapolis Message. IndianaDolis. Dec 13. Reports from the Indiana coal fields showed that most of the miners who have, been on strike have resumed work and some mines reported almost ca pacity outputs Saturday. Opera tion of mines will be in full swing by the middle of next week, oper ators stated. Department of Justice officials here practically completed their plans for presenting to a special federal grand jury next week, the charges of violation of the Lever fuel control act and anti-trust laws by coal mine operators and miners. The investigation will start next Wednesday. .Charges of contempt of court against officials of the United Mine Workers for alleged violation ot the federal court injunction against the miners' strike, it is believed, will be dropped.

(Billy) Byrne: "As you were." Rev. Edwin H. Jenks: "I am de lighted, perfectly delighted to see the city lighted again." C. J.

' Robert - Cowell: "I feel a real sense ot relief. I can not help but feel ' that the restrictions were strintent" - C. E.; Black: "I am overjoyed for myself and for everybody else." R. C.Hwe: "The furl commit tee would not have lifted the restric tions unless they had coal in sight." C. Rr'Sherman: "I played every record I , hid on my phonograph durjng those long evenings and now I will be able to resume my dancing lessons. I practiced dancing a little in the parlor, during the shul-in seasor fuel and railroad officials, effective at 12:01 a. m. Monday. Full pas senger service was ordered for Thursday. . Just one restriction remains. That is that coal will be delivered only to persons who make application show ing less than one week's supply on hand, in the "noxthwestern and cen tral western railroad regions. There were indications that the limitation on deliveries might be removed soon. East and south of Chicago general resumption of train- service starts at 12:01 a. m. Monday. The Pennsyl vania lines announced full service, beginning - Monday, except the Broadway limited. The New York Central lines made a" similar an nouncement, adding that the Twen tieth Century 'Limited wouSd be re stored within the week. The regional fuel and rail direc tors in Chicago today, first withdrew restrictions on heat, fight and po.wer consumption, then swept away the priorities list and lastly announced that consumers in tne nrst nve or the priority classifications could ob tain at once all coal held for them by the railroads. Others must abide by the application system of weekly supplies. . - . . i Big Shakeup Coming Jn Police Force, Rumor ...... (Continued From Fit) One.) . business men to the account of the police commissioner. ., " ' The latest reported move in con templation, that of putting on the retired list all members of the force who have been in the. service .20 vmm and are more than SO years of age, is meeting criticism every where and is still farther undermin ing the efficiency of the police force. "It is especially wild and unrea sonable when you look at' the ap pointment of Henry WeinSberg to the force last week, said one com missioner. "Mr. Weinsberi . is .60 years eld and has been off of the force for 15 years. Now they put him back at work just when they are contemplating retiring all the men over 50 years of age.' Pressure has been brought to bear from many sides on the police department and it is now rumored from several points Commissioner Ringer will force Chief Eberstein out January 1 in a last attempt to sae himself. ; Has Some Support. So far as the city council is con cerned, Mr. Ringer seems to have enough votes yet to hold his posi tion as commissioner of police. Mayor Smith, Commissioner Ure and Commissioner Towl will vote with Mr. Ringer to keep him in his present position. People point out however, that Mayor Smith has made a record siiice he has been mayor for chang ing his mind suddenly, radically and diametrically, on many and diverse subjects. And he is just as positive after he has "flopped" over as he was positive on the other side before he changed. It will not surprise these observ ers of the mayor to see him get up in the council some day and state it is his belief that another commis sioner should take charge of the de partment of police. t Unless conditions improve with the new chief in Mr. Eberstein's of fice after the first of the year, these people says something of even more drastic nature will have to De aone ply the nation with coal under the fixed price of $2.35 a ton. The miners decided to refuse and con tinue the strike. "I went home thinking the mat ter was to be fought out," he said. "And after that proposals were made by the government to take the matter out of your hands, in spite of your magnifcent war record and the way you were standing as a bulwark to the public?" Senator Freiling auysen interjected. Won't Discuss Matter. "I don't wish to go into the mat ter of wheYe and how the arrange ment was made," Dr. Garfield said. "But your proposals up to Decem ber 4 were tne government's," Sen ator Meyers began, "accepted by all parties as the fact, and then, seme changekwas made?" "Yes' Dr. Garfield replied. Under insistent questioning Dr. Garfield said ne had not talked with John L. Lewis, acting president of the mine workers, and.AVilliam Green, secretary, on the flying visit made by those officials to Washing ton a week ago when the strike set tlement was submitted. "If the president should see fit to establish a commission to review my work or my actions ormy decisions, that would not be a matter to which I could present' any objection," Dr. Garfield said, reiterating that his ob jection was "to the basis by which a commission, representative of two thirds of the industry and one-third of the public becomes dowered with right to control prices and wages." "I think that is a power which the government tannot afford to sur render,' 'he said. "Do you know the Department of Justiceor the Department of Labor, or any other agency of the govern ment and the miners have come to a practical agreement that wages are to be increased by this commission above the 14 per cent you proposed?" Senator Townsend,asked. "I do not know that." Dr. Garfield replied sharply. "T make no -statement that there has been such an agreement." Holds to His Refusal. "it is my duty o ask you for the letter you sent to the president," Senator Frelingnuysen said, "and the telegram the attorney general sent you in which was recorded the decision of the government to fight the strike out on your proposition." Dr. Garfield held to his refusal. "Now, why have you resigned?" the senator asked. "I've stated the principle involved," Dr. Garfield said. "Do you see anything patriotic in the action of Lewis and his asso ciates in calling off the strike?" Sen ator Frelinghuysen asked, referring to a message of congratulation sent from the White House. "Not more so than when you or I obey the law generally, Dr. Gar field returned and the ..session ad journed. Chairman Frelinghuysen said the question of issuing subpoenaes to se cure papers Dr. Garfield refused to produce will be considered. Bandit Kirk Wanted For 1916 Auto Theft (Continued From Pace One.) fied Charles B. Kirk and Beryl C. Kirk as the same man, for whom Lancaster county officials searched for more than a year, finally locat ing him when he was arrested for murder, conviction of which sent him to the penitentiary. This throws another angle on the peculiar release of the bandit from the penitentiary on the order of Sen ator Bushee, for if the Lancaster county authorities had known Kirk was to be freed from the state prison on December 2 they would have ar rested him on the auto theft charge, they say. " Official Order Filed. certified copy of the Nebraska supreme court order calling for im mediate investigation into the meth ods used by certain members of the state bar in procuring the sensa tional release of Kirk from the state penitentiary was filed in the office of the state attorney general today Attorney General Clarence A. Davis was out of the city and no member of his office force was able to state what action he would take. Filing of the copy of the order is said to be practically an order from the court for the attorney general to be conducted by the state bar com mission and in case they find irregu larities in procuring the "furlough" to start criminal actions against the offenders. Governor Expected Monday. On the heels of the announce ment Of the state supreme court or der came word yesterday that Gov ernor McKelvie will arrive in Lin coln Monday to institute his prom ised action regarding the Kirk scan dal. The governor has been in the east in conferences on the fuel situation and republican politics, leaving a request witn state omciais to allow the Kirk "furlough" to stand until his return.' - Just prior to his departure for Washington, the governor stated that he expected to go to the bot tom ot tne Kiric scanaai imme diately upon his return. Rumors too Persistent ne order tor an immediate in vestigation by the members of the state bar commission, in conjunction with the attorney general, was is sued Friday by Chief Justice An drew M. Mornssey of the supreme court v His action came as the result of a communication from' District Judge Redick of Omaha, in whose court Kirk was sentenced to 20 years in the state penitentiary for the crime of murder, stating that attention of the court had been di rected by the seven judges of the Fourth district to persistent rumors that the bandit's release after serv ing but 18 months of his sentence was secured by methods of such a character to bring-scanlal upon the administration of justice. Members of Commission. The communication ftirthr stated that rumors were likewise per sistent to the effect that certain members' of the bar of Lancaster county, and perhaps other counties, have been guilty of unprofessional conduct in connection with the pro curing of such release. The members of the bar com mission, who will conduct the probe in conjunction with Attoritey Gen eral Davis, are: Walter L. Anderson of Lincoln, A.

CHARRED BODY OF WOMAN FOUND IN FURNACE FIREBOX , Could Not Have Crawled In On Fire Believed to Have Been Victim of Degenerate. Deadwood, S. D., Dec. 13. (Spe cial.) A coroner's jury which inves tigated the death ofMss. John Nemi, an aged Lead woman, whose par tially burned remain? were found in the firebox of the furnace in her home, has returned a verdict to the effect that she met death by violent means at the hands of parties un known. The verdict sustains those whose theory is that Mrs. Nemi was mur dered and her body placed in the firebox ofj the furnace in the belief that it would be entirely consumed. When Mrs. Searle. a married daughter, discovered the body the lower limbs and body to the hips had been burned to a crisp and the upper part charred so there was little resemblance to a human being. 1 Mrs. Nemi had no enemies and there was no one who wished her out of the way. The only theory is that she was killed by some degen erate of criminal instincts. -Those who scout the suicide the ory say it would have been phys ically impossible for Mrs. Nemi, e.ven if insane, to project herself into the firebox of the furnace feet first uoon the hot coals and then care fully close the door upon herself. The daughter who found the body testified that the door was closed when she discovered the remains of her mother. DR.

How completely Hudson's suprem acy is acknowledged. Its records are not held by hairbreadths. They over shadow all others by conclusive mar gins. They bespeak the mastery of a type. That is clear to all. Consider that Hudson's leadership is . not divided. It is not merely the fleet est of cars. It holds all the worth while power and acceleration records, too. But chiefly is it famous for endur ance. No other car has ever shown such endurance proofs."" Look at the records. , Even more important, ob serve how 80,000 Super-Sixes now in service confirm all the fine qualities Hudson has proved in scopes of tests. Hudson 's Finest Qualities Are Exclusive The Hudson is a triumph of type. All it has done is due to the exclusive Super-Six motor, which minimizes vi bration and increases motor power by 72, without added weight or size. That principle accounts for Hudson's anequaled endurance.. It accounts, too, for its great advantages of speed, hill climbing and , power over any other type. ) And unlesjs Hudson consents no other maker can use the principle of the Supef-Six motor. It is the only su ,preme feature ever , controlled by a single maker. Such records as the double frans-" continental run of 7,000 miles in 10 dys and 21 hours would have been im possible without it. Again its. endur ance was revealed in speedway racing. For time after time Hudson special racers, embodying the Super-Six prin ciple, defeated swifter racing machines, some of which cost upwards of $40,000, simply because the Hudsons kept run ning, when the terrific pace forced others to the repair, pits. It is noteworthy that Hudson rec ords have -stood for almdst five years. In other fields five years have seen practically all records topple. Tho Hudson retains supremacy, because it' has the exclusive right to the Super Six motor. ( It is the Most Wanted . Fine Car Its sales prove that Ever since its famous tests proved Hudson the great est endurance and speed car, it has been the largest selling fine car in the world. Now more than 80,000 are in service. The demand has always been in ex cess of supply. In some seasons thou sands have waited months for delivery of certain models. That condition, we have every reason' to believe, will be repeated this year. Therefore, if you intend-to get a Hudson, you will save disappointment bv ordering 'ahead of the desired date of delivery. G UY L.SMITH 'SERVICE FIRST 2tt miAM st Omaha, U S.$! phonctdcuccas ystsi k
