FOR HOME RULE
Mayor Green of Kansas City Speaks
Today.

c. w. Green, mayor of Kansas City,
KAN, hit popular chord at the
Chamber of Commerce this noon when
he advocated home rule for Kansas
cities. This was the sole/topic of the
popular Kansas City mans address
and he told in plain words the reasons
why he believes the people of Kansas
should have home rule for their cities.
In the first place, the present sys-
tenn which makes it necessary to go
before the legislature for every trivial
improvement desired clogs legislation
and creates much work for both the
house and senate which could be util-
lid in threShing out other matters.
Then, the mayor, outlined the indif-
ference that often marks the states
man. from the shortgrass toward large
cities. He doesn't care or doesn't know
whether Kansas City, Wichita, Leaven-
worth, Topeka or Hutchinson needs to
employ a public health nurse, or not.
Other arguments for home rule were
advanced by Mayor Green.
Mayor House introduced the speak
err He 1auded a man who by his acts
as mayor made himself SO popular
that he is recalled to the office by the
citizens of a city.

DEMAND APOLOGY
Secretary Tumulty Scathingly
DenOunces Rep. Wood.
Denies He Tipped On Wall st.
Anxious to Testify.

Washington. Jan. 5.-Scathingly de-
nouncing Representative Wood for
mentioning his name before the house
rules committee today, Secretary to
the President Joseph p. Tumulty in
a prepared statement declared Wood
should publicly apologize for bringing
Tumuity's name into the proceedings
on information based solely on near
say and rumor"
Tumulty sent the statement up to
the capitol with the request that it be
read before the committee.
Tumulty said he would appear be-
fore the committee gladly and with
out a subpoena"
Secretary Tumulty's statement fol-
lows:
II am very glad to say publicly that
did not know of the existence of the
presidents note on peace until the
newspapers were informed.
President Keeps Secrets From Him.
Every frequently the president who
knows that l am bombarded by news
paper men and others for information
saves me embarrassment by keeping
matters absolutely secret. In fact, 1
have often suggested that this be
done.
Il have not been at the Biltmore
hotel in a year, never talked about
peace with Mr.. Baruch before or after
the peace note was sent and never
lunched with him in my life.
Il have met him, as l have a great
many good friends from time to time
in hotels, at the theatre and else
where.
"A presidents secretary meets
great many people every day and it
is very easy for someone to circulate
rumors, based as Mr.. Wood says,
solely on hearsay'
Il think Mr.. Wood owes me public
apology for mentioning my name at
all merely on hearSaV and rImor',

MUST Get IN WAR.
"U. s. Can't Stay Out if 1t Con-
tinueS'-J. Ham Lewis.
Parry on IndOrsing President
See Long Delay.

Washington, JAM. speaking in
the senate today in support of the
Hitchcock resolution to endorse Pres
ident Wilson's peace note, Senator
Lewis, Democrat. declared the Euro
pean war could not continue without
the United States, becoming involved
in it.
Every indication pointed this after
senate vote on the Hitchcock resolu-
ton endorsing the presidents note to
belligerents.
This would mean the senate would
not act, until the allied reply to the
note reaches the president.
Works Ends Long Speech.
Senator Works ended his long dis
lance speech at 1:45 p. m. and then
Senator Hitchcock's motion for furth-
err consideration of his resolution was
automatically up.
Virtually the whole senate had dis
appeared during Works talk, SO
quorum call was used to round up
members.
Vote to Thresh 1t Out.
BY a strict party vote, Al to 81, the
senate today agreed to the motion of
Senator Hitchcock to proceed with
formal consideration of his resolution
endorsing President Wilson's peace
note. The vote makes the resolution
the regular business of the senate.
Hurls Def at Germany.
"I agree with Secretary Lansing or
anybody else who says that the war
cannot continue without America be-
ing involved in it, said Senator Lewis
in the senate, while urging immediate
passage of the Hitchcock note en-
dorsement resolution.
Lewis thrust the war idea upon the
senate with startling suddenness.
America, he held, cannot proceed
further in accepting apologies for
injuries done by ship commander
presumably referring to German SUBJ
marine commanders.
4 II do not think we will ever again
allow captains of ships, officers of ar
mics or officers of diplomacy to de-
liver upon this country an injury and
escape with the excuse that orders
were misunderstood or that the Off
GERS acted in the excess of ZEAL" he
said.
The United States is the agent of
morality in this step and the presi-
dent is to be admired by the world
for it.
This country cannot accept apology
hereafter and will punish to the eX-
tent of her power any such injury"
