PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS
TAKE LEAGUE AS 1T IS
Says Reservations Would Be MisuR-
derstood in Europe-Has Confer
ence With Senator Capper.

Washington, July 10. - President
Wilson still is insisting that the peace
treaty and League of Nations cove
nant be ratified without reservations.
Senator Capper (Rep.). Kansas, said
after a conference with the president
at the White House.
Senator Capper said the president
took the position that adoption of
reservations by the senate was certain
to be misinterpreted abroad and
would set a precedent which might be
followed by other nations.
The president pointed out, Senator
Capper said, that if all nations adopt
ed their own reservations and placed
their own interpretations on the COW
enant the real meaning and purpose
of the league might be vitiated. The
senator said the president did not pre-
sent arguments, but simply stated
facts, leaving him to draw his own
conclusions.
Senator Capper said the Shantung
settlement was discussed at length
and that the president appeared to be
in possession of many pertinent and
important facts. The senator de-
clined, however, to say what these
were.

ATTACK BLACKS IN STREETS
OF THE AMERICAN CAPITAL
Police and Provost Guard Unable to
Protect Negroes-Six Bands Are
Organized.

Washington, July 21.-Despite the
entire police force of the capital, to-
gether with the assistance of provost
guard, there were seven mob attacks
on negroes here as a result Of attacks
on white women by negroes within
the past two weeks.
Huge crowds of men were out
searching for negroes, and number
of the latter have been taken to hos
pitfalls because of injuries they have
suffered at the hands of the Infatuated
citizens.
On Pennsylvania avenue, the main
thOroughfare of the capital, q crowd
of men and boys, with liberal sprink-
ling of discharged soldiers and sailors
among them, quickly gathered.
Their mobilization was apparently
the continuation of a massed attack
on the negro quarter in the southwest
section of the city.
1t is estimated that more than 1000
men made up the largest party, and
there were smaller bands in other
parts of the town. The sight of a
negro was the signal for an attack.
Get him !" was the cry raised and
the fugitive gotten"
The ambulance of the Emergency
hospital would soon clang It's way up
the avenue to take the victim for
treatment and the mob would start off
on its search for fresh suspects.
The police and soldiers were evil
IDENTIFY powerless in the face of at least
six bands operating in widely scat
tered sections of the city.

TRAPPED BY A DICTAPH ONE
Report of U. 8. Investigator Is Sub
mitted to House OF Representa-
tives in Washington-DecIar
Testimony Was Flimsy.

Washington, July 24.-Thomas j.
Mooney did not receive full justice in
his trial at San Francisco for alleged
connection with the preparedness day
bomb explosion, for which he is Serv-
ing life term, according to report
by John B. DensmOre, former special
agent of the department of justice, who
investigated the case for the govern
ment. The report, dated November J.,
1918, was submitted to the house in
response to a resolution calling for in
formation as to activities of the de-
partment of labor in the case. Mr..
Densmore's report was forwarded by
Secretary Wilson, accompanying his
own statement.
Much of the information obtained by
Mr.. DensmOre and his assistants, the
report said, was secured by use of die
tagraphs placed in the office Of Charles
M. Fickert, district attorney of San
Francisco, where it was kept several
months.
Densmore's Objections.
Mr.. Densmore's objections to the
trial, as enumerated in his report, in
clude the following:
"The apparent failure of the district
attorneys office to conduct a real in
vestigation at the scene of the crime !;
the easy adaptability of some of the
star witnesses; the irregular methods
pursued by the prosecution in identi-
flying various defendants; the sorry
type of men and women brought for
ward to prove essential matters of fact
in case of gravest Importance; the
seeming inefficacy of well-established
abb; the sang froid with which the
prosecution occasionally adopted an
untenable theory and then changed to
another not quite so prepOsterOuS, and
the refusal of the public prosecutor to
call witnesses who actually saw the
falling of the bomb.
Testimony Flimsy.
''In short, the general flimsiness and
improbability of the testimony adj
duced, together with a total absence of
anything that looked like a genuine eff
fort to arrive at the facts in the case.
1.-THE reading of the testimony in this
case is apt to cause one to wonder at
many things These things are calcu-
lated to cause in the minds of the most
blase decided mental rebellion"
Action of District Attorney Fickert
in asking for new trial after the tes-
timony of Frank c. OXman was proved
perjury and then refusing to agree to
1T, was attacked in the report.
