This is the burden or the Ameri can note to Great . Britain, France, Italy and Japan, made public today by Secretary of State Hughes. The communication, which bears strik ing evidence of Mr. Hughes' legal acumen, is the strongest presenta tion yet made, of the American charge of bad faith, against the allies in arbitrarily disposing of ter ritories in which the United States has an alienable one-fifth interest. Island of Yap Included. ' On November 9, 1920, the United States called the attention of powers to its understanding that Yap was not to be included in the mandate to Japan, but was to be interna-' tionalized as a cable station. Yet in December. 1920, the council of the league of nations, controlled by the allied powers, approved the north Pacific mandate with ,Yap included. "Jt is a cause of regret to this government," says the Hughes note, "that after and despite this protest, there should have been any attempt to pass upon drafts of mandates pur porting to deal with the Pacific is lands, including Yap, and that a -mandate should have been approved or attempted to. be put into effect which, while purporting to be made in the name of the United States, was without the assent of the United States. This government trusts that this action, which it must assume was taken under a misapprehension, v ill be reconsidered." U. S. Demands Voice. Mr. Hughes' contention that the United Stales must be accorded a voice in jhe disposition of the for mer enemy territories ceded to the allied and associated powers applies not only to the north Pacific, but to Mesopotamia, .Palestine and the German colonies in frica and Aus tralia. !

Washington, April 6. Justice Gould of the District of Columbia supreme court, today continued un til April 18, the trial of Nicky Arn stein of New York on a charge of conspiracy to steal and transport government bonds, because Arn stein's wife, Fannie Brice, the actress, is about to become a mother. Arnstein sat nervously in his seat when his case was called. He was not worried about the trial, but about his wife and whether the court would listen to the plea of his coupsel for a continuance. After the judge had granted the continuance. Arnstein was overjoyed. 'T don't k;iow whether it's right for me to say this." he said, "but that judge is a big-hearted man. I'm ready and anxious to stand trial but Frank ly I'm scared about Fanny. She couldn't call me on the phone this morning for hours and when she did she was hysterical.

Text of American Note To Britain Protesting Mandates on Territories iy The Auorlated I'rcaa. Washington, April 6. The text of the note to Great Britain, similar to that of France and Italy, follows: ''With respect to the mandate to ! tirmptl anrl Hrfinrd in its terms bv the supreme council of the league of nations of the German possessions in the Pacific ocean lying north of the equator, this government deems it aonrooriate to state the funda- '"cntal basis, of ifs representations , and it is also believed there is no disposition on the part of the British I ffftvprnmfnt tr rlpnv rvartirinatinn nf n ' - " " j I , - the United States in that victory. It would seem to follow that the .fight accruing to the allied and associated powers through the common victory is shared by the United States and that there could be no valid or ef fective disposition of the , overseas possessions of Germany, now under Lconsidcration, without assent of the United States. United States Not Bound. "This government must therefore point out that as the United States has never vested either the supreme council or the league of nations with authority to bind the United States or act on its behalf, there has been no opportunity for any decision which could be. deemed to affect rights of the United States. It may also be observed that the right ac cruing to the Uni-ted States through the victory in which it has par ticipated, could not be regarded, as in any way ceded or surrendered to . j Brandeis Denies Wife's Charges in Divorce Action His Attorney declines to Say Whether Answer Filed in Court Presages Contest Of Suit.

"The fact that the United States has not ratified the treaty of Ver sailles cannot detract from rights which the United States has ac quired, and it is hardly necessary to suggest that a treaty to which the United States is not a party could not affect these rights. But it should be noted that the treaty of Versailles did not purport to secure to Japan, or any other nations, any right in the overseas possessions of Germany, save as an equal right therein ' should be secured to the United States. On the contrary article 119 of the treaty of Ver sailles provides: " 'Germany renounces in favor of the principal allied and associated powers, all her rights and titles over her oversea possessions.' Position Confirmed. "It will not be questioned that one of the principal allied and asso ciated powers in whose favor Gar many renounces her rights and titles is the United States., Thus, not only could the position of Japan derive no strength from the treaty of Ver sailles or from any discussions pre liminary thereto, but the terms of that treaty confirm the position of the government of the United States. "Further the draft convention re lating to the mandate for the Ger man concessions in the Pacific ocean north of the equator which was sub sequently proposed, proceeded in the same view, purporting on behalf of the United States as one of the grantors to confer the mandate on Japan, thus recognizing the right and interest of the United States and the fact that the proposed action could (Turn (o Page Tiro.

A drama, replete with grewsome details of wholesale murder of- negroes was un folded in court here today, when Clyde Manning, negro farm boss for John S. Williams, prominent Jasper county farmer, took the stand as the star witness against the farmer who is charged with murder as the result of the killing ot41cgro laborers on his plantation. -!"' ; The jury which was completed Tuesday, will pass on the indictment charging that Williams and Manning on or about Alarcli iy, tied chains and wires, attached to weights, about the neck ot one Lindney Peterson, threw him while yet alive into the Yellow river and caused him to be drowned. . Manning has confessed to the killing of 11 fellow workers at the direction of Williams, who, he declared, feared their testimony against him in peon age cases. Defense Denies Charge. The defense has entered a sweep ing plea of not guilty and the man, apparently the least perturbed over the trial is Williams himself. Jt is as yet impossible to say what the defense will be, as Greene B. Johnson, leading counsel for .that side, says the case is up to the .state. "We, don't know anything about it," he said today. We have no way to find out what they are going to charge us with or how they expect to try to prove their case. They will have to trot out their wit nesses and we will meet the issue as it develops." Prosecutor Confident. Solicitor. A. M. Brand and his as sociate counsel, Hon. William H. ! Howard of Augusta, and Assistant Attorney General Graham Wright do not discuss the case further than to say they expect amply and com pletely to support the confession of Clyde Manning. . On that they will ask the jury for a verdict giving Wil liams the extreme ' penalty of the law. ' ' . There are three cases against Wil liams and the jury selected to try the first one is composed mostly of farmers, and the greater mlmber of them are from the upper section of the county, far removed from the Jasper line. The defense preferred picking its men from the upper part oi Newton rather than from the sec tion in which Williams' farm is lo cated. Solicitor Brand's purpose is to try the three cases against Williams one at a time, as outlined last week by Governor Dorscy,. but there is some indication by the court that the pres ent case will be followed immediate ly by the prosecution of Manning.

OMAHA, THURSDAY, OmahaFT On Election Results of Tuesday Primary Already Being Juggled for Election; Slates Win Nomination. Dahlman Leads in Vote 'An analysis of the personnel of the 14 candidates who were nominated at the city primary on Tuesday, with a glance over their past and present affiliations, gives rise to considerable speculation over the probable lineup for the campaign which will lead to the election on May 3. The Committee of 5,000 pulled through its eomplete ticket of six candidates, Commissioner Ringer leading this combination with sixth place in the list of nominees, and John F. Murphy trailing in 14th place, with Dean Noyes of the Dahlman ticket pressing Murphy closely tor the last place. The spectacular feature of the primary vote was the showing made by united states Marshal J. L. Dahlman, who served four terms as mayor up to his defeat three years ago.

It is further noted that the Dahl man vote was nearly three times the vote of the low nominee. Dahlman and two of his associates Dunn and Hummel came within the first seven, while the "5,000" ticket landed two Ringer and Falconer, inside the first seven. , Another interesting feature of the vote is the showing made by Com missioner D.

The reversal of policy in the last few jnQi,ithf -gratiy cutting down' on the number of - paroles and par dons granted, with an ' excessive crime wavct in Nebraska, has flooded the Nebraska penitentiary with the greatest number of prisoners ewr held in the prison. Warden Fenton said the count Wednesday afternoon revealed a total of 635 prisoners. The penitentiary has facilities to handle about 450 under proper conditions. "I have notified the board of con trol of the necessity of refusing 'to' take any more prisoners until addi tional room is provided or there is a decrease in the prison population," the warden said. "The matter came up some time ago when the unusual outbreak of crime in the state, with a curtailment in the number of paroles and pardons granted, resulted in filling the prison to its capacity. At that time I informed the board that I believed we could handle 625 men, but no more.

Expect Decision Today By The Amoclaled Treat. Chicago, April 6. Compulsorj pooling of grain thrust itself forward today as the big issue of the meet ing called for ratification of a na tional co-operative grain marketinf plan worked out by the farmers' grain marketing committee of 17. De cision' went over until tomorrow. Advocates of compulsory poolm; asked' that one-third of the grain handled by farmers through the pro. posed national marketing agency(bv. held for pooling. Recommendation ot the committee was that poolinr should be left optional with eacl farmer. Sentiment for compulsory poolini grew rapidly under the attack on the optional plan late in the sessiotf and on the strength of its advocate! The issue was opened by C. O Moscr of Dallas, Tex., secretary ev the Texas farm bureau section. Hf moved an amendment to the plan pre sented by the committee of 17, re quiring each grain grower joinini the national association to agree to the pooling of one-third of all wheat delivered. Westerners Second Movement. Aaron Sapiro of San Fratrcisco. prominent in the California co-opcra tive movement and appearing as i delegate of the Northwest Wheat Growers' association, seconded the amendment and it had further sup port from B. M. Jewett of Spokane, general manager of the Northwest Wheat Growers' association. Demand for compulsory pooling was also in evidence from representa tives of the Wheat Growers' Asso ciation of America, which has keen signing members on a strict pooling basis in Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, according to the officials. "We stand for a 100 per cent compulsory pool, but we came ready to compromise to effect , one great national agency," sd W. H. Mc Grcevy of Wichita, Kan., president of the National Wheat Qrowcrs' as sociations -"If compulsory pooling is not provided for in the plan adopted, we cannot be a party to it. Ve are willing to agree oa 33 1-3 per cent." The attack on optional pooling centered on the ground that co-operative marketing of grain on 4 na tional scale such as is projected, can not succeed unless the national pool be promoted by compulsion.
