Mass., where the summer White House will be es . tablished on the estate of Charles R. Crane, Chicago business man re cently, appointed minister to China. Arvtingements are- being made for nifcving the president, and l;is family 'and a good part of tlje executive of fices there for at least two weeks of June and all of July and August. The Crane estate is an extensive country place which overlooks Buz zard's Bay and Vineyard Sound and is close by Martha's Vineyard, an island which figured in colonial his tory. President Taft and his family spent their summers at Beverely, Mss., not far away. ' The decision to take thT president ttwav for the summer js interpreted -at the White House as further evi dence of the continued improve ment in health, which Dr. Grayson, his physician! has 4een reporting. Up to a few weeks ago it had been practically decided not to take the president away for"the shimmer, be cause it was felt that he could be better cared for at the White House. " Explains Reasons For Change. The plan to spend the summer on ihe New England coast. Dr. tlrav son said, meant that the president could continue motor riding, pos sibly some shprt yachting trips, probably on the Mayflower and might getin a few holes of coif hi his jfcptovement continues. The trin.yilf be by train, the Mayflower Jfter. Last summer, like his first m of fice, the president spent in Wash ington. Others .have been spent in Cornish, N. H. The first (summer, which was a hot one, Mr. Wilson put the air coolingolant, in the .White House offices out' of com -'mission and announced that as t,c was asking congress to stav in ses sion in the capitol throughout the dog days he would undertake it him self, and he did so. ; He did rmt return from the peace conference last year until midsum mer and he spent the next few . weeks preparing for his long speak ing trip in the west, from which he returned a "very ick nian' o use the expression ' contained in Dr. Grayson's official bulletin, and with a few occasional motor rides of late, he has been confined to the White House grounds since October. Beautiful Estates Near. Secrttarv Houston has a place at Wood's Hole, near the summer white house and other beautiful es tates are close by. Dr. Grayson de cided to- accept Mr. Crane's offer, it is said, because he wanted the presMent away from the oppressive heat of Washington in midsummer and near the salt water. Under present arrangements the president, will be in , New England - while the democratic national con tention is in session in San Fran cisco, although congress, from all indications now, will nominally be ill session, but actually will he .transacting no business by gentle 'men's agreement between leaders. There have been some hints that the ' president might rservc the much ex pected official announcement as to whether he wants a third term for presentation at the convention, and if that be true, he. probably would prepare his letter at the summer " white house. The usual staff of secretaries, clerks, stenographers and secret ser vice men will accompany the-president. Special telephone and tele graph wires will be installed, and to all practical purposes. the white house will be in Wood's Hole after 'June 15. Johnson Says League-Must Become Political Issue New York, March 29, The league of nations must become a po- litical issue and . continue as such "until the American people them 1 selves decide it," for no other de cision "will he accepted by some of the men who have been making the '. struggle at Washington in the last nine months."

Asserting the United States "wants no foreign dictation," Senator John son attacked the league of nations covenant as an instrument tending to cause wars instead of preventing them.

Presi dent Wilson is expected shortly to reveal his views of the failure of the senate to ratify the German peace treaty for which he and the repub lican irrcconciliables were respon sible and also his attitude toward " writer ( further measures to re-establish peace. The president is expected "to do this in response to a.i appeal to him today by many'-distinguished Ameri cans to resubmit the treaty to the senate, accent the league of nations covenant, as modified by the Lodge Author Presents Proposal. The appeal was presented at the White House by Samuel Colcord of New York, author of the proposal, Professor Woodbridge4 of Boston and Hamilton Holt, pditor of the In dependent.

Brewster, bishop of Connecticut. Describes Plan Presented. Mr. Colcord thus described the plan prcscntedsin the memorial: "That by understanding between the president and a sufficient num ber of the -'majority and minority senators we at once accept the in evitable and join the league of na tions upon the basis of what are known as the Lodge reservations as adopted by a majority vote of the senate prior to March 19, with such favorable modifications as have since been accepted by the majority or as may be immediately obtained and leave the remaining questions in dispute to be settled later by refer-i endum if a referendum must be taken, or by continued negotiation. "Or inX)t!ier words, they may take their referendum if they will, but not while the world waits in suspense and agony for the pledge of aid we are willing to give." OMAHA AIR MAIL ROUTE ENDORSED BY U. S. SENATE Fund for Airplanes Provided By Amendment to Post Office Bill. By E. C. SNYDER '- Washington Correspondent OuuaJiit Bee. Washington, March 29. (Special Telegram.) The senate today after hours of wrangling adopted the com mittee amendment to the postoffice and postroads bill appropriating $1, 4l5vQO() "for the purchase of such airplanes as may be necessary to establish and operate and maintain an airplane mail service between New York and San Francisco via Chicago and Omaha, including sta tions, equipment, tools and machin ery and for such personnel as may be necessary." On Saturday when the amendment was reached in the postoftice appro priation bill, Senator Spencer of Missouri desired to have the amend ment so worded that instead of fixing a definite route by way of Omaha, it would be optional with the department to select omc other route, as for instance, running vto St. Joseph, Mo., to Des Moines, la., or as far south as St. Louis. While Sena; ir Spencer did not offer bis amendment today, Senator Gay' of Louisiana, proposed an amendment striking out Chicago and Omaha and instituting, in lieu thereof, Philadel phia, Washington, New Orleans. Houston and Los Angeles. Fight Omaha Route. The amendment was not adopted, nor wis an amendment offered by Senator Dial of South Carolina creating a new route running be tween New York and Atlanta, Ga. A number of southern senators were loud in their demands that the south should be accorded the same treat ment in the air mail service as the north, east and west states, but their pleas were based on sectional lines, and as a " consequence the amendments received but few votes.

Reason for Crisis. The governmental crisis in Den mark turns on disposition of the second Schleswig zone. The retiring ministry of Prcmijer Zahle consider ed this question as settled in favor of Germany by the plebiscite. How ever, there has been a strong agita tion among opposition parties for at least the provisional internationaliza tion of Flensburg and the second Schleswig zone. These parties point out that the Zahle ministry lacked a mandate to direct the country's policies and that the former premier, at the last elec tion, promised again to appeal to the country after the war.

Little Change Noted In Delaware Houses On Suffrage Question Dover, Del., , March 29. Little change in sentiment regarding rati fication of the federal suffrage amendment was noted in tlie Dela ware legislature Monday, the begin ning of the second week of the spe cial session, which suffrage advo cates hope will make this state the thirty-sixth to ratify. Suffrage leaders admitted that had a vote been taken in either house the ratification refolution probably would have been defeated. They de clared, however, the delay was in their favor. ' On the other hand, leaders of the anti-suffragists were confident the resolution would be defeated. They point to the fact it was not reported out of committee as expected as a sign of weakness by the suffragists. No one would venture a prediction as to when a vote on the resolution would be taken, but it was gen erally believed it would be delayed beyond Wednesday the day fixed last week for a vote in the house. KING CHRISTIAN MAYOR OF CORK DOOMED TO DIE , BY SINN FEINERS Victim of Vengeance, London Journal Says Dublin Man Assassinated. London, March 29.

Another Favorite Phrase Captain Wheeler Says Was Used by Agitators. Tombstone, Ariz., March 29. Patriotism and the desire to prevent bloodshed on the streets of Risbee, Ariz., prompted him to-deport 1,186 striking copper miners and their sympathizers from liisbee to Colum Inis, N. M., July 12. 1917. Captain Harry C. Wheeler, formerly sheriff of Cochise county, told the jury that is trying Harry K. Woottou on a charge of kidnaping iu connection with the deportations. "I feared that men, women and children on both sides would be killed in the streets of the town," Captain Wheeler, nv ho is the princi pal witness for the defense testified. "And I was thinking of my coun try, too." The witness repeated some of tlie expressions he said he heard from agitators during his investigation into the conditions in the Warren mining district immediately prior to the deportations. Much of the lan guague quoted by him was unprint able. Judge Samuel L. Pattee re quested the women present to leave the courtroom when Captain Wheel er introduced the nature of the quotations. Some Expressions Used. "To hell with the draft" and "the red button over the liberty bonds," were some of the expressions the witness testified he heard. Other agi tators declared in obscene language that just as the Russian government had been wrecked, so would the gov ernment of the United States be wrecked by radical elements, Cap tain Wheeler said.
