IN CHILD COURT PLAN
Representative johnson Resents
Charge That Catholic Church In
fuenced Measure.

Because Of attacks on the Johnson
Juvenile Court bill appearing in the
Menace, an anti-Koman Catholic organ,
published in Aurora. Mo, Chairman
Johnson of the District committee to-
day occupied the floor of the House
long enough to call the publication to
task and to say that the Juvenile Court
bill is the product of the work of eX-
perts, most of whom are of Protestant
faith
Representative Tinkham of Massa-
chusetts. who has charge of the bill on
the floor. and who probably will call
it up again Monday. was declared to-
day by Representative Johnson to be a
thirty second degree Mason and not a
Roman Catholic. although the Menace
headlines speak of Representative
Tinkham as aiding in IAN outrage.

GERMANS PREDICT
FURTHER PARLEYS


marine controversy develops the fact
that the treaty of 1925 between the
two nations contains special provisions
with reference to state of war. 1t is
pointed out that although that treaty
was made with Prussia. its present
validity has been recognized recently
by the German empire in support of it's
controversial positions.
Revives Earlier Provisions.
According to this view, the treaty of
1928, still in force, revived certain pro-
visions Of the earlier and superseded
treaty of 1893. Among the articles thus
revived were two. numbered, respec-
lively, XXIII and XIV. providing par
| ticularly for the continuance of certain
agreements, even during war between
the two countries. The general pro-
vision is thus expressed:
And it is declared that neither the
pretense that war dissolves all treaties,
nor any other whatever, shall be con-
sidered as annulling or suspending this
and the next preceding article: but. on
the contrary. that the state Of war is
precisely that for which they are pro-
vided, and during which they are to be
as sacredly observed as the most ac-
knowledged articles in the law of ma
ture and nations.
One of the two articles thus described
as defining sacred obligations even in
case of war is devoted to provisions
regarding the humane and reasonable
treatment of prisoners of war. The
other prescribes the rights of private
persons and property after the begin
ming of actual hostilities.
Text of 1879 Treaty.
The text of article % of the treaty
of 1893. as revived by article IL of the
treaty of 1928. and said to be still in
force. is as follows:
IF war should arise between the two
contracting parties. the merchants of
either country then residing in the
other shall be allowed to remain nine
months to collect their debts and settle
carrying off all their elIects without
moleStation or hindrance: and all wom-
en- and children. scholars of every fac
ulty. cultivators of the earth. artisans,
manufacturers and fishermen. unarmed
and inha biting unfortified towns. viii
lagos or places. and in general all
others whose occupations are for the
common subsistence and benefit of
mankind. shall be allowed to continue
their respective employments and
shall not be molested in their persons
nor shall their homes or goods be burnt
or otherwise destroyed. nor their fields
wasted by the armed force of the en-
envy. into whose power by the event
of war they may happen to fall: but if
anything is necessary to be taken from
them for the use of such armed force
the same shall be paid for at rea-
sonable price"
May Become Important.
1t is argued that the article cited. if
mutually recognized as still valid.
ght. in the event of war, become of
Importance to one or the other, or
both. Of the belligerents. Nothing is
specifically provided in the treaty to
govern the status of enemy vessels, in
termed in the ports of one of the bel
ligerents at the outbreak of hostili-
ties and capable of use as auxiliary

Reports of Diaz Uprising
in Northern Mexico Cause
Uneasmess in Washington

Eliseo Arredondo. Mexican ambassa-
dor designate, was informed at the
State Department today that the de-
partment is following up many vague
clues which have led Washington Of
fcials to view the Felix Diaz movement
as having serious possibilities. but that
no definite word has been received from
any American agencies.
Mr. Arredondo had nothing to COM
municate from the Carranza govern
ment, either in relation to the military
situation in northern Mexico or Gen.
Carranzas note suggesting that the
American forces be withdrawn. He
said he had no important dispatches
from his government.
Maj. Gen. Scott. chief of staff, in
conference with Gen. Funston at San
Antonio. Secretary Baker reiterated to-
day, has authority to go anywhere on
the border or to the military bases in
Mexico to assemble information he is
seeking. Secretary Baker said he had
no knowledge of an effort to arrange
a conference between Gen. Scott and
Report Expected Today.
A preliminary report from Maj. Cen
Hugh L. Scott. chief of staff of the
army on his conference with Gen.
night regarding the Mexican problem,
was expected today by officials of the
Washington government. Gen. Scott,
who was sent by Secretary of War
Baker to discuss the situation in detail
with Gen. Funston. announced his ar
rival i'm a brief dispatch to the Secre-
tary last night.
The next step of this government re-
garding the pursuit of Francisco villa
or the withdrawal of troops probably
of a complete report on the situation
from Gen. Scott. This report is not
expected until he returns to Washing
ton. Before departing Gen. Scott an
nounced that he would make his in
vestigation and return as soon as pos
sible, although he was unable to say
how long that would be.
Diaz Cause Of Uneasiness.
Meanwhile, reports of an alleged
move on the part of Felix Diaz. nephew
of the former Mexican dictator, for
new revolution against the de facto
government are causing some uneasi-
ness at the State Department.
The movement is said to be backed
by wealthy Mexicans in Mexico and
the United States. 1t is learned that
several MeXicans in this country are
under close observation, and it is pos
sible that part of the anti-American
feeling in Chihuahua sta tie against the
forces chasing Villa may be attributed
to the DiaZ movement.
Admission is made by Secretary
Baker that American consuls In
Mexico had advised of reports to the
effect that Mexican officers had warned
Gen. Pershing not to proceed south of
Parral before the clash there. The
Secretary insists. however, that the
warning had not caused any change
in orders 10 the border forces

One Catholic on Committee.

Judge Latimer is not only nom
Catholic. but he is g Mason in good
standing. Let us see who drafted the
bill. A Presbyterian Attorney General
appointed a committee of five persons
deemped competent to draft the bill and
fair-minded enough to write a bill free
from both religious Drejudices and re-
ligious preferences. in keeping with the
Constitution. They We're: Miss Julia
LathrOp of Washington. Bernard F'Iex-
ner of Chicago. DR. William J. kerby
of Washington. Walter &. tlephaue and
William n. Baldwin of Washington
Miss Lathrop is congregationalist
not n Catholic: Mr.. Flexner jew not
a catholic; Mr.. Ciephene PreShy-
terrain. not a Catholic: Mr.. Baldwin also
is Presbyterian. not Catholic. and
DR.. KERRY is the only Catholic among
them all"
Chairman Johnson also mentioned the
names of members of the Board of
Trade, comprising a committee which
had approved the bill. Only one mem
her is a Catholic, said Representative
Johnson.

Defends Bills Provisions.

Representative Johnson told the
House that the publication had changed
that under the Juvenile Court bill
Protestant children would he placed
in Roman Catholic prisons He
pointed out that under the terms of
the bill the court must follow the re-
ligious iuclinati tons of the child or his
family when placing a child in any in
stitution for guardian ship.
II introduced this bill at the request
of those who prepared it." said Repre-
sentative Johnson. The bigoted alarm
list may say that because ], q Catholic.
introduced the bill is sufficient proof
of itself of its unholy purpose. ! was
asked to introduce the bill because !
happen to be chairman Of the District
committee. Among those who ask ed
me TO introduce it is Judge j. W. Lati-
mer. is he a Catholic. taking orders
from the Pope. to fill Roman Catholic
prisons" When this bill becomes a law
its execution will be in the hands of
Judge Latimer-G Mason. Is it true of
him that he will violate his oath to
support and defend the Constitution of
the United States to fill Roman Cath
olic prisons with Protestant children?

County, is Acquitted by
the Senate.
LACKED BUT ONE VOTE
Expenses Of Hearing May To-
tai $l2,OOO---Suit For
Cost Probable.

Frankfort, Ky, April 26.-The
Kentucky Senate Monday afternoon
failed to impeach County Judge j. E.
Williams, of McCreary county, and
he goes acquitted of the charges pre-
ferred against him by the House.
The Senate came within one vote of
finding him guilty on the second arti-
Gle, charging that he issued a warrant

sioner, and w. F. Hinkle, who were
on guard about the County Clerk S
office, where the ballots were kept
the Friday night following the last
November election.
On that charge twenty-three Sena-
tors voted to find him guilty and
twelve not guilty. The nearest they
came to impeachment after that was
on Article 10, charging him with col
