K|WAN|S CUB HAS
 TTRACT|VE NEE I

An unusually attractive program was held at the Kiwanis club luncheon in the war work building yesterday at F o'clock. The program was under the direction of Chairman Earl F. Drake and reflected much credit on his ability to furnish entertainment of the un- usual sort.
 Several musical numbers were ren- dered by the Nightingale sisters, en- tertainers of Morley's Country club.
 A number of five-minute talks were given by the various members which proved interesting to the entire assem- bly,. Vernon L. Clark spoke on the timely subject of When Will Prices Fall?" Dr. George E. Blair gave a talk on the science of osteopathy as a suc- cessful treatment of human ailments. c. k. Wilson spoke on the printing of a newspaper. Eugene Hughes, the sign man, delivered talk on the painting of signs, their origin and other interesting features of the business.
 A large attendance of the members was present and the session was turned into "get-acquainted" meeting and each member was requested to stand and introduce the member sitting next to him and to tell of his business or professional occupation.

bothered by 'wildcatters,' said Com missioner Dave Johnson yesterday, they have only themselves to blame, During the last legislature the corpor- ation commission prepared bill regu- lating the brokerage business and put ting it under the control Of this com mission, Senate Bill S5, and the brokers themselves killed it off.
 Tt was a good bill, first class, Al bill, airtight and a fine measure, and when the brokers lobby killed it in spite of our efforts they let them selves in for all their present troubles.
 As the law now stands, brokers are licensed by the secretary of state, and under the present law there is nothing to prevent broker from buying and paying for stock in any old concern. whether they have a stock selling per init or not, and at any price, and re- selling it at any price they can get. Their purchase must be bonafide, how ever, else they are subject to heavy penalties"
 Mitt Sims, secretary of state, when asked about the brokerage law, stated that all brokers must have a license and put up a bond, according to the provisions of the state law.
 This office has no way of knowing if 'wildcatters' are operating as brok- CTS, without licenses, unless the matter is brought to our attention" said Sims, but if we are informed of viola tions of the law we will set in motion the legal machinery to bring to justice the violators of the law"

SOLDIERS MAY NOW
 CLAIM ADDITIONAL
 TRAVEL ALLOWANCE

The war department is now settling the additional travel allowance due the enlisted men of the army who have re- celved their discharge since November II, 1918. The original mileage allowed the discharged soldiers was 31a cents per mile but this amount was raised to cents by an act approved February ZS. This mileage was paid the men from the point of discharge to the place of enlistment in the service.
 Men who have been discharged since February 2S, 1919, have received the cents mileage but all those whose ac- tual bona fide home or residence at the date of discharge involved a greater distance may also submit their claim to the Zone Officer at Washington, D. c.
 blank form of application, which includes the necessary affidavit for the additional travel allowance, may be ob- tanned from any army recruiting of f1cer. Red Cross or other agencies or ganized to aid soldiers This affidavit must be accompanied by a true copy Of soldiers discharge certificate, cer- utied as such by a recruiting officer, or the original discharge certificate, the letter to be returned with check. While payment will be made on the original discharge certificate, claim sants are advised that the use of a copy will eliminate the possibility of the loss of the original. All applications should be addressed as follows: Zone Fi- nance Officer, Lemon building, Travel Allowance, Washington, D. c.
 The director of finance has practi- eally completed the payment of $60 bonus which involved about 1,400, 900 claims. It is pointed out by the de- partment that the settlement of travel allowance claims can not be accom- plished with the same rapidity which obtained in the payment of the bonus. Each claim will require certain verifi- ] cation by war department records, this to be followed by mileage calculatxons

BROKER QUESTION

The brokerage business in Arizona is still getting a lot of advertising, both favorable and unfavorable. The regular licensed brokers have com plained to the governor about wild caters" invading their field, the gov ernor has referred the matter to the corporation commission, who are un- derstood to be preparing a reply to the executive letter, and Mitt Sims, the secretary of state, under whose department brokers are licensed, is somewhat stirred up about the matter also.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-That the con-
stitution of the League of Nations as
now presented would not be ratified by
the Senate OF the incoming Congress
with the members and members-elect in
their present frame of mind Is indicated
by a poll taken here to-day.
Ratification, whether the league consti-
tuition was submitted as separate
treaty or as part of the general peace
treaty. would require the affirmative
vote OF sixty-tour Senators-two-t thirds
of the whole number. To-day only Atty
two of the men who will constitute the
Senate after March 4 can be classed as
favoring or inclined to favor the league,
while forty-four are against II or inclined

not be obtained unless twelve members

DUBLIN. Feb. 25.-Sean O'Cealligh,
who yesterday presented himself to the
Peace Conference at Paris as an ac-
credited envoy of the Irish Government,
was formerly in business here and was
secretary OF the Gaelic League. He was
not prominent In the disorders on East e r
Sunday, 1916, but was deported imme-
diately after the Government had sup
pressed that rebellion. He was released
late in December. 1916. and was re-
arrested in February. 1917, but was not
detained very long. He was not placed
under arrest last May, when many mem
bers of his party were placed in jail.
O'Cealligh Is a member Of the Dublin
Corporation and was elected to Parlia-
ment on the Sim Fein ticket in the
recent general elections. He was a mem
her OF the delegation appointed to pre-
sent the freedom OF the city to Presi-

SENATE TENSE OVER
WILSON'S ADDRESS
Members Are Disposed to
Withhold Comment.
sueoial Despatch to THE sux.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-There was a
tenseness about the Senate to-day over
the dominating question of the League
Of Nations. No alienation OF this
tenseness was noticeable as result of
the Presidents speech in Boston.
The party line, or at least the line of
adhesion to the doctrines OF the Presi-
dent, was closely drawn in what little
comment was obtainable. 1t was shown
that Senator Hitchcock (Neb), Demo-
crat. was laboring under the burden OF
supporting the League of Nations pro-
gramme and his newly won adherence to
the Administration. Senator Hitchcock,
who il chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations and who In the Re-
publican senate will be the ranb+nS
minority member OF the same commit
tee. said
THE Presidents speech was very
effective. l believe II will appeal to the
spirit of Americanism. l think that
all America will be impressed with what
President Wilson says OF the Obligation
OF the United States to save the criti-
cal situation in Europe. The President
rightly says that we must not fail
Europe at this time.
TT may be that the President made
in speaking of the spirit of our soldiers
in France. They went in, 1t seems to
me- more in a spirit of frenzy. But the
Presidents speech as a whole appeals
strongly to the American instinct"

The applause and adulation heaped

The great humanitarian demand for
a betterment of the world on principles
of justice and liberty for mankind The
human instinct for peace as against war
Many OF the Presidents sincere sup
porters realize that the American people
may not favor the Presidents humani-
tartan and idealistic international pro-
gramme now. but they predict that the
President will win the people over. on
the other hand. Senators opposed to the
league are confident that no one man in
the United States will ever be able 10
divert the American people from their
love of American traditions and Ameri-
can ideals as handed down by the fore
fathers, and the American demand for
independence from European control.

Opponents of the plan recalled to-day
THAT the President before sailing from
France said that II was of the greatest
importance that no part of the league
iconstitution be altered in the least.
{They feel that the dinner tomorrow
might possibly may be for the purpose of
texplaining why this Is considered neces-

after careful surveys of the Senate that
