CONSTITUTION
 OF LEAGUE IS
 BEING FOUGHT

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-. March IS. James P. Reed, demo crat, of this state. made an address to the members of the Missouri leg. islature today in which he devoted considerable time to criticizing the constitution of the league of nations.
 During the course of his speech he remarked that the league would ab. rogate the Monroe doctrine. the foundation of American principles, and also violate the American consti. tuition. Not only would the league upset all of the honored traditions of true Americanism but would ere. ate a super-government of world powers and ultimately force America into world wide difficulties owing to the policing obligations i'm. posed by the constitution of the league. which insist that the leagues actions are of 8 mandatory nature and would involve the command of the world.
 He further stated that America would be in a worse position than any other qation. Altho the obli- gations wer9 only morally binding America would keep her obligations where other nations might not. This would constitute a great detriment to this country owing to the rigid ob- servance of the United States of her national honor.

 IS VERY LIGHT

The registration for the coming city election Is rather light compared to the same period last year. On March 18th. 1918. the registration reached 197. Yesterday the regis. tration did not exceed 75. which is not quite 40 percent of last years registration.
 The total number of residents reg. istering last year was 676. From the present rate the number this year will be considerably less. It is matter of personal choice to register. but those who fall to do 50 will be denied the right to cast their ballot at the next coming city cleo tion. But few days remain in which to call at the city hall and have the registration blank filled out. Those who have not affixed their sig. natures should do 50 without delay as the days are slipping by.

''WHISKEY' JACK
 IS BOUND OVER
 TO GRAND JURY

The following is an extract from a Juneau paper relative to the proceed ings against Jack Gaslow. who was taken into custody at Skagway ir connection with the death of Myra Schmidt which have been taken to clear up the mystery surrounding the death of the woman:
 Jack Gaslow was bound over to the grand jury on charge of grand larceny by Judge Newark l.. Burton following Gaslow's preliminary hear ing in the commissioners court this morning. Gaslow's bond was placed at 5000.
 Jack Gaslow was arrested at Skag. way . week ago in connection with the investigation which followed the murder of Myra Schmidt At the time of his arrest. at the Quaran- tine station in Skagway where he was placed upon the arrival from Juneau on the Estebeth, Gaslow had in his possession a suitcase contain ing 2 seal skin jacket. a set of mink furs and miscellaneous wearing ap- parel which have been identified as property of the murdered woman. He was arraigned at the commission er's court in Skagway and brot to Juneau for his preliminary hearing.
 The contents of the suitcase has been valued at about $500. Following the hearing this morning 1t was re- marked that the selection of articles in the suitcase had evidently been made for their value as they were all in good condition and could easily have been disposed of for money. Some of the lingerie had never been worn.
 Following the testimony of the wit ness. Gaslow was asked if he had any statement to make. He replied that this was about the fourth time he had been in court and that he had notheing further to say. Judge Burton reminded him that this was the first time he had appeared before him and, considering his arraignment in Skagway, the second time he had appeared in court. Gaslow made no statement this morning.
 In fixing Gaslow's bond at $5,00O. after binding him over to the grand jury. Judge Burton called attention to the close connection the grand larceny had with the murder of Myra Schmidt.
 At his hearing in Skagway, Gas low testified that he had been given the suitcase in Juneau by colored woman whom he knew as Lulu. " No evidence has been found here to substantiate this statement.
 Asked if he could consult an ac- Quaintance in Juneau regarding what attorney he should engage. Assistant DlStIiCt AttoIHey J. J. INedSdH, WuO conducted the examination of the wit nesses during the hearing, assured Gaslow that he could talk to anyone in the presence of deputy marshal or jailer.
 The wall of the grand jury room, where the preliminary hearing was held. was lined with spectators.
