CONDEMN STAND
OF HITCHCOCK
ON PEACE PLAN
Proposal of Nebraskan to Ob
tain Rider Embodying
League Covenant Strongly
Opposed by Leaders. v
taicac TriboM-OmiiliB B. LM.d VVIr..
Washington, April 12. The joint
resolution declaring a state of peace
vith Germany, which was passed
in the house by a large majority
will be transmitted to the senate
'.oday and referred to the commit
tee on foreign relations which will
postpone consideration of the mea
lure until the return ' of Senator
Knox the latter part of the week.
Leaders of the movement to bring
ibout a reconsideration of the peace
treaty and its league of nations
:ovenant strongly condemn Senator
Hitchcock's intention to move th
ittachment of a rider to the peace
resolution embodying the covenant.
When Samuel Colcord of New
York was asked his opinion of the
peace resolution he said:
, Hopes Proposal is Lost.
"Upon the merits of the resolu
tion I express no opinion. I do not
know the views upon it of the men
whose mandate sent me here. But
as a friend of the treaty, I will say
it is to be hoped that the future will
prove that Senator Hitchcock's
threat to attach the league of na
tions covenant as a ridejt to the
peace resolution was thrown out in
banter or jest and not with serious
intent to put the threat into execu
tion. Or I would trust that it Is
offered with a motive which I do
not understand.
"I would hope that much for Mr.
Hitchcock's own sake, for any man
with average common' sense, and
surely a quick, discerning public
will know that returning the treaty
to the senate merely to put the
other side in a hole and kill the
treaty in doing it, must be the act
not of a friend of the league of na
tions but of an enemy, -
Ask Workable Plan.
"It would be the act of a very
dangerous enemy, too, because, ap
pearing in the cloak of a friend, he
would thrust the Brutus dagger
through Caesar's heart. '. I have too
much respect for Senator - Hitch
cock to believe that he really means
that. .
"What we ask, what the sensible,
workable plan for the entry of the
United States into the league of na
tions proposed in the appeal to the
president, the senate and. the people
of the : United States, with the en
dorsement of such men as Cardinal
Gibbons and Dr. Lowell, requires,
is that the president, hold the treaty
back until such time as he can re
turn it to the senate in full agree
ment with a sufficient number of
senators on both sides to make it
certain that the two-thirds vote re
quired to ratify it will, make it law,
and not return the treaty with in
tent to put upon the other side the
blame for killing it."
Sound Death Knell -Of
Skimpy Bathing
Suits in New Jersey
Chicago Tribune-Oman Bee Lcaed Wlra,
Atlantic City, N. J.. April 12.
Possessors of Venus-like forms will
have to worry along without dis
playing them to beach admirers this
year.1 At least not beyond the
limits of a two-piece bathing suit.
The decree of Beach Surgeon
Charles Bosscrt has been uttered
and it sounds the death knell for the
one-piece garment.
Some of last year's one-piece suits
were more alarming than if ' the
wearers had appeared in the grassy
hip adornment of a Sandwich Island
belle. The theaters began to be
perturbed. A blow at stage tradi
tions was imminent and chorus girls
feared for their jobs. . ..
So the one-piete suit has come to
its Waterloo. And alone with the
inhibition goes the edict that -all
females over 16 must wear stockings
no matter how shapely are their
calves

of being "strike bound" in the foot

its crew at Port Jervis, N. Y was
told by passengers on arrival here
this morning, 10 hours late. A fire
man ifient out from Jersey City on
an . outbound train aided the en
gineer in finally bringing m the

A "mob of railroad men met the
express , when it reached Port Jei
vis, according to passengers. They
swarmed about the engine ana
dragged the firemen to the ground,
they said. The rest of the crew en
deavored to persuade the strikers
to allow the train to proceed to
Jersey City. This was refused and
the strikers snoutea tnai me oniy
way the fireman could go to Jersey
City on the train would be "in a
wooden box." . .
The passengers, after a consider
able time, searched for lodgings.
Some of them managed to hire
rooms for a few hours at each, one
of the passengers said. Food was
procured and the station agent,
agreed to announce "an hour before
hand, when the train would start."

Arrives This Morning.
Mr. Johnson alighted from the
Overland Limited train . yesterday
morning, sniffed the invigorating
air and .then asked to be driven to a
barber shop.' " '
'T am here to meet and ereet the
home-loving, .God-fearing,- patriotic

as he shook hands with Thomas
Lynch, E. L. Bradley, N. C. Pratt,
Samuel Mancuso, Dr. P. T. Barber
and Everett S. Dodds, who com
prised the; local reception committee.
The senator was in his usual fight
ing mood when he arrived.
Postpones His Comment.
The first thing a member of the
committee did. was to hand him a
copy of a morning newspaper which
carried a front-page Lincoln news
article, stating that Frank Harrison,
manager of the Johnson campaign
n Nebraska, had endorsed the orig
inal Leonard Wood convention
delegates in this state.
Where s Harrison? Senator
Johnson sharply inquired of the
committee. Isn t he here?
The committee exolained that
they have summoned Mr. Harrison
to rush to Omaha. Until he meets
Harrison the senator will not com
ment on' this situation.
. Knows No Issues.
The senator adroitly parried Ques
tions he did not wish to answer and
enthusiastically stressed the things
he wished to have close-up attention.
He asserted that he did not know
what the issues were between him
self and his republican primary
rivals in this state.
Asked if he thought the league of
nations would be an issue in the
campaign, the senator replied: "You
can't walk over the American flag
without having an issue."
Americaaism vs. Super-Government.
' Poppycock! . he replied when
asked if he thought there would
be a third party.
What is the chief issue of this
compaign?" the senator was asked.
It is Americanism as against a
super-government which the league
ot nations wouia impose upon us,
he replied.

Claim to Being First
Maker of Near Beer
Chicago, April 12. Bishop Sam

first made "near beer," according to
a statement by him published today.
"Some 45 years ago, ' he said, "I de
sired to test a 'pet theory' that it
was the 'atmosphere, the companion
ship,' that was the fundamental at
traction of the saloon and not the
alcoholic beverages sold.
"So I decided to become a saloon
keeper," the bishop was quoted. He
invoked the aid of chemists and
a liquid that had the taste, the foam.
the gurgle ot beer, but was mocu
cus as prune whip.
"At least it was at first." Bishop
Fallows said. "Our clientele in
creased rapidly. So rapidly, in fact
that at the end of he first month I
was overwhelmed with joy. Thf
third rail was always full.
"Then one night the habitues de
veloped suspicious symptoms. 1
tasted some of the beer. It wai
good. I investigated furthen Th
ecclesiastical wallop was missing
But in its place was a kick like that
of a flivver7 handle. It had fer
mented." That was remedi.d by using th
liquid before it had time to ferment,
the bishop continued, but eventually
he, had to close shop because he had
not competed as successfully as he
had hoped for with his rivals.
