Stone OBJECTS
TO DISCUSSION OF
WILSON SPEECH
Democratic Leader Blocks Res.
olution by Cummins Pro-
viding for Full and
Free Debate.
GOES OVER FOR ONE DAY
Pressure of Business Too Great
to Allow Time for Talk Now,
Says the Missourian.
NEW SEA CODE PROPOSED

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
Cummins of Iowa submitted resolu-
ton to the senate today which would
devote the senate, beginning next
Monday, to a full and free discussion
OF the presidents world peace policy
expressed in his message of yesterday,
All other business would be excluded
until every senator had an opportu-
nifty to speak not more than an hour.
Chairman Stone of the foreign rela-
tions committee objected to immedi-
ate consideration and action was de-
ferred until tomorrow.
The resolution cited inasmuch that
as the presidents address called for
no official Legislative action and that
the president had invited free and
frank expression Of opinion for guild
ance i'll the matter involving the il
tegrity of the nation and peace OF the
world is was the bounden duty OF the
senate to thoroughly consider the
proposals and to advise the president
regarding them.
Mr.. Stones Objection.
In the present pressure of public
business said Senator Stone, II shall
have to object to setting aside whole
week, for that's what it would take.
merely to hear speeches or opinions
regarding the presidents address
made yesterday. Such a thing is
wholly out Of the question at this
time"
Senator Cummins insisted that his
resolution had right to lie over for
day without reference and said he
would object to its going to the COM
mittee. Senator Stone then withdrew
his objection and the question will
come up tomorrow and probably will
precipitate general debate of all the
issues involved. ...rs .r-.,
New Sea Code Proposed.
Discussion in all American nations
| Of the underlying principles embodied
in President Wilson's address Is ex-
| pected to come about through the ac-
tion Of the American Institute of In
ternational Law, now meeting in Ha-
vana, in taking up code Of maritime
neutrality prepared at the suggestion
Of Secretary Lansing. The code is to
be taken up within the next year by
the Societies of International Law in
each of the twenty y-one American re-
publics. ., ~,
In this code the principle is laid
down that If neutrals are unable to
prevent conflict they must do every
thing possible to end it, on the ground
that one of the obligations Of nett
trality is "a duty of pacifcation to-
ward mankind" The code also dwells
on the freedom of the seas.
Under the proposed code neutrals
may utilize IAN international force"
to punish violations Of neutrality.
No Word from Germany.
1t was stated officially today that
President Wilson has received no
word from Germany that it and its
allies we're willing to lay their terms
of peace, even conhdentially, before
him.
The statement was made in re-
sponse to recently published ntima-
tions that the German terms had al
ready been placed in the presidents
! hands.

Memoralizing a Fad.
Moriarty of Douglas, declared that
the license" was only tax, and fail,
ure to pay only resulted in civil &C
ton. Mates Of Otoe went a step fur
thcr and called memoralizing "a harm
less fad and pleasant pastime," unless
it was carried too far, as the senate
was doing,
Removing this tax, lie pointed out
was removing the best source OF in
formation on bootlegging. Senator
Sandal of York arose to recognize
Senator Mates as all authority on
such questions, and he ought to
know"
Senator Mullen of Gage remarked
that most resolutions were waste OF
time, but this one was necessary
Senator Albert characterized the reso-
luton as an attempt to compel actio,,
OH a small collateral question of big
issue 1t is presumptous, he said, for
the legislature to petition congress,
which is itself responsible to its con
sttuents. He pointed to danger in al
lowing the government to dip its
finger in the states enforcement OF
the dry law.

Chapel and Hager, democrats,

would be no federal tax in dry states"
asked Mates and Moriarty.
Beal declared the vote on the reso-
luton indicated the attitude of the
senate on dry law enforcement.
Howell of Douglas very modestly &C
cepted the charge" of being the 20
per cent pure" of the Douglas county
delegation, and appealed to the con-
science to pass the resolution, not
withstanding the fact, he said, that he
came from Omaha.
After being in the senate few
days, McMullen said he favored a
bone dry" law, which he did not
favor when he came to the legislature.
He did not explain his altered senti-
ment further.

The Weather

For Nebrsska--Unsettled and colder.
The Coconino sun., 1917-05-11

The prolonged drought of late winter and early spring has threat ened to inflict heavy losses on cattle and sheep in many parts of the south west, particularly in southern Arizona according to reports received by the district forester. Buyers have been rare in the regions suffering the worst. The stockmen of Arizona, however, have taken more optim- istic attitude since the heavy rains in the middle of April, which started the long delayed spring feed, and relieved serious situation.
 A serious shortage of forage due to exactly opposite conditions is report ed from further north, for severe weather, etc.
 Severe weather conditions are caus- ing heavy losses of cattle and sheep in the northern Rocky Mountain re- zion. Because of unusually deep snow, continued storms, and the late spring, the supply of feed in most of the region has been practically ex- hausted. Hay is now selling at $2O to $40 ton and is almost impossible to get even at these prices.

 The girl is taken from her prison cell to the torture room, which would be like the third degree in modern police regulations, except more brutal. Her ankles gre uinioned, and the chains fastened about her arms. As they begin to tighten the pain is in- tense. Rather than suffer this in- human torture the poor girl says she committed the murder, but it is lie.
 She is later placed in the historic cart so famed in French history as being the vehicle by which the con- demned ride on their last earthly journey. Before the scaffold is reached the bellringer, temporarily relieved of his duties, comes to the girls rescue. He says he knows she is innocent, be- cause he was present when the scient- ist murdered her sweetheart. There is great rejoicing by the populace. The girl has fought her battles nobly, preserved her purity, and in the end marries the plucky bellringer, who is her protector, her liberator, and at last her husband

HEAVY STOCK LOSSES REPORTED IN
 SOUTHWEST AND MOUNTAIN REGION

The loss of sheep in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah and Nevada may reach 20 per cent. It is stated that the sheep are generally in poor condition and many of the bands which come through the winter with out losses are now beginning to sui fer. A light lamb and wool crop is anticipated for the whole Rocky Mountain region.
 All indications are that the cattle men have been equally hard hit. In parts of Idaho, Montana and Wyom- ing unusually severe losses are in prospect. Supplies of grain and hay are said to have been almost exhaust ed. In some regions the snow is so deep that hay can not be hauled to the starving stock except on hand drawn sleds.
 In this emergency the supervisors of all national forests have been authorized to open them to livestock which are short of feed in advance of the usual date whenever it can be done without material injury through trampling of muddy range.

NATIONAL GUARD
RECRUITING SERVICE

Phoenix, Arizona, May 8, 1917.- The recruiting the Northern part of the State for the Fighting First Ari- zona infantry is creating great inter- est in all parts of Arizona, and not little enthusiasm in the section in which it is being carried on. Reports reaching the office of the Adjutant General are to the effect that this is not only result of the efforts of the recruiting officers on duty in that sec ton, but also because of the unselfsh devotion and generous assistance af- forded the officers in the communities in which they have served recently. Especially is this true of Flagstaff, where some time since there was stories of sedition against certain members of the faculty of the North ern Arizona Normal school, this was far from being the truth, the facts were that the faculty headed by Dr. Blome, President of the Normal, against whom so many of the stories were directed, accorded the recruiting officer every opportunity to meet the students of the school, used all his own power of persuasion in assisting the present need of the country for men, and in fact did everything a loyal American could do to help. Citi- zens of Flagstaff were also prolific in offers of help. Col. Breen, who was formerly second in command of the 1st Arizona, and the press was another factor in bringing forth demonstra- tions of loyalty from the communities, and so the 1st Arizona is obtaining

cracy. He is a man of great power and influence. He makes her ac- quaintance. She is fiattered at his at- tentions. She has gained great skill in dancing. She plays the tambourine with the greatest skill, and dances all the fashionable movements of the world. l
 The scientist admires her for her physical charms. He begins plotting her ruin. She defies him-like the Spartan women of old. She is in love with an officer in the army, who loves her devotedly in return. The scientist makes repeated overtures to her, but of no avail. Her second defiance is stronger than the first. Enraged at her fortitude in protecting her honor, he proceeds to kill the man with whom she is in love. So determined is this man to accomplish the girls overthrow that he threatens to charge her with the crime of murder and
 
 send her to the scaffold, unless she yields to his demands. For the third time she defies him. Still conspiring to ruin her, he sends to her prison cell, where she has been lodged, charged with the crime, sister of charity, with instructions to prevail upon the girl to admit her guilt, the sister not knowing the truth. Still the girl is defiant, because she is armed so strong with innocence.
 Bellringer Becomes Protector
 The bellringer of the Cathedral, one of the most historic sanctuaries in the old world, an edifice erected centuries ago, becomes the girls protector. She seeks refuge in the church to get away from the evil spirit of the scientist, who has already brought great trouble to her, having murdered her sweetheart and placed her in pris- on for crime which she has not com mitted.
 The scientist renews his attempt, hunting down his victim within the sacred surroundings of the Cathedral. It is here the bellringer battles with the intruder. It is in the belfry, high above the street. It is struggle to the death; to be thrown from the bel fry is fatal, because of the distance. The bellringer becomes the master of the situation. He is more powerful than his antagonist, and the latter is

MISS THEDA BARA IN
 THE DARLING OF PARIS'

The part taken by Miss Theda Bara in "The Darling of Paris" at the Or pheum theatre Monday night is one of the most interesting characters she has ever been called upon to interpret since becoming identified with the silent drama. It is an unusual one, dominating the story from beginning to end. There are but few moments when she is not in the picture, which adds al lthe more importance to the production in general. Miss Bara's charming personality is so forceful that any picture in which she is seen is filled with far more than passing notice. When she appears in play it is an event--a real dramatic event --one that attracts attention through out the entire country, because of her popularity wherever she is known, and herfame extends throughout the world.
 The following is synopsis of the story of the production, "The Darling of Paris having for it's foundation Victor Hugo's beautiful story, "The Hunchback of Notre- Dame." The scenes are located in Paris. The pho toplay is based upon one of the great est romances of French literature. A Gypsy girl, with her mother, arrives in the French capital. The girl is young and beautiful. The Apaches, best known as the leaders of the un- derworld, know the girls value for financial purposes, if they can possess her. They kidnap her from her mother. She is taken to the slums of Paris. There she is taught the funda- mental rules of how to become a criminal. She rebels at this, because she is an innocent and honest girl. There is no escape from the wiles of the lawless band. She is given ex- pert instructions upon the art of pick ing pockets. She is growing into beautiful womanhood. Later her mother rescues her.
