us. SENATE ATE MAY TAKE PART IN
THE WORLD PEACE CONFERENCE
DELEGATES MAY BE ASKE VISIT PARTS OF FRANCE
AFFECTED
DAMAGE HAS BEEN CAUSED GERMANS

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The part the
senate may play in connection with
the peace conference was discussed
today by the foreign relations COM
mittee. No action was taken and,
with the consent Of it's author, the
committee ~also postponed action on
the resolution Of Senator Lodge Of
Massachusetts, to endorse the pres
ident's principles for free Polish
state.
On the question Of connection of
the senate with peace negotiations,
some members suggested that it
might be advisable for the senate to
be represented on the American del
egation. Others, however, believed
such representation might be. en-
barrassing. The principal considera-
ton, Chairman Hitchcock said, was
how the senate and the committee
shall be kept informed of progress
at the peace table and how the Sc
Mates views on the principales under
discussion shall be made clear.
Paris, Nov. 2O.--All the delegates
to the peace conference should be
asked to visit the departments Of
France invaded by the Germans and
see for themselves the damage and
devastation committed, declared Raoul
Peret, president of the budget COM
mission of the Chamber of Deputies,
and Deputy Louis Dubois. The dep
uties have returned from an official
visit to the liberated regions and ek-
press the belief that France must ex-
act from Germany not only repara-
ton in money but also the restitution
of tools and raw materials carried
away.
Washington, Nov. 20.-Navy Off
cials said today that President Will
son and the American delegation to
the peace conference will cross the
Atlantic on one of the big trans
ports, conveyed by dreadnaught
and flotilla of destroyers. Plans
for the trip have not been c0mplet-
ed but it is regarded as certain that
the vessel carrying the official party
will be one of the great passenger
liners taken over for the movement
of troops. ....
Paris, Nov. 20.-The American rep
res&ntatives at the peace conference
and their stats will occupy build
ing on the Place de la Concorde,
which has been the headquarters of
the American Red Cross since June.
Headquarters for the Red Cross now
are at the Hotel Regina.

DAKOTA BANKER FACES A
SERIOUS CHARGE in IOWA

Waterloo, Iowa, June 80. R.
Powell, cashier of the Blaisdell, N. D.,
State bank, is held in custody here,
following his arrest by deputy sher-
if, charged with making threats to ex-
tort. The warrant for the arrest of
Powell was signed by DR.. F. w. Pow
ers, president of local bank, and one
Of the most widely known financiers
in the middle west.
The arrest of Powell is said to be
only the initial move in the solution
of triangular certificate robbery in
volving more than $4,000.
DR.. Powers alleges that Powell did
"orally and maliciously threaten to
accuse Of a crime with the intent to
extort a pecuniary advantage and
with intent to compel him to do an act
against his will"
Developments brought to light to-
day indicate that Powell threatened
DR.. Powers with prosecution unless a
certificate for $4,000, cashed by the
bank, of which DR.. Powers is presi-
dent, was not produced within ten
days.
From what the Independent can
learn concerning the above Associated
Press report, Mr.. Powell has commit
ted no offense whatsoever, but it looks
as if the Iowa banker has caused his
arrest to save himself from trouble.
1t is alleged that Powell met the Iowa
banker out west and induced him to
agree to place a certain sum on de-
post in the Blaisdell bank, issuing a
certificate Of deposit in advance, which
the Iowa banker later cashed. Those
who know Mr.. Powell, and his friends
thruout the west are legion, know that
his arrest is unwarranted.
