Argument of the legal points in

assess benefits against property
owners on the east side of Front
street in the Hardscrabble district
may be listed for the session of ar
gument court next month. City So

THE Supreme court will probably
hand down an opinion in July in the
case which will determine the legal
dispute in connection with the
west side of Front street in Hard

The court usually hands down
opinions in July before the summer
vacations and again in October.
AS soon as arguments for the
property owners and for the CITY

cases. all the legal questions will be
in the hands of the courts to de-

plans could be made to demolish

doubtful If this would be started in

M'CUMBER STANDS OUT

serving Nations Right to
Judge Obligations
BIZ Associated Press.

Washington, June 12. - Senator
Knoxs resolution to put the Senate
on record against accepting the
League of Nations in the terms of
Peace Treaty was reported to-day
in an amended form by the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.
The committee struck out the sec
ton of the resolution which would
declare it a policy of the American
government that whenever the peace
of Europe became again threatened
the United States would cooperate
to remove such a menace.
Lodge Makes Motion
The motion to amend the Knox
measure was made by Chairman
Lodge ard had the support of Sena-
tor Knox and all other Republican
members except Senator McCum ber,
of North Dakota. No other amend
ments were adopted. The vote to
favorably report stood s to I.
A resolution reserving the right of
the American Congress to determine
the Justice of the obligations imposed
upon this country under the much
discussed section ter of the League
of Nations covenant, was introduced
to-day by Senator Sterling. Republi-
can, South Dakota.
'Borah Serves Notice
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho,
told the Senate foreign relations
committee to-day he was opposed to
the section of the Knox resolution
which would declare that if the
peace of Europe were threatened
again the United States would con-
slider itself obligated to cooperate
with it's chief cobelligerents for the
defense of civilization" In his fight
against this section, Senator Borah
was said to have the support of Sen
ator Johnson, Republican, of Cali
fornia.
When the Senate met this morn
ing it again turned its attention To
! the more direct issues involved IN
the League of Nations fight. The
Investigation of how copies OF the
Peace Treaty reached New YORK
was suspended after revelations that
! Thomas W. Lamont gave a copy in
Paris to Henry P. Dawson, his part

brought it to New York and gave
it to Elihu Root, who showed it tc

NoSke Says Cabinet
VIII Stand By People

Wcimer, June 1--we are still
in office and we will stick because it
is our duty to save the German
people" Gustav Noske, minister of
defense, declared at the meeting
yesterday of the majority Socialist
party.
His declaration was in answer to
radical members who are attempt
ing to force him and Chancellor
Scheidemann from the executive
committee of the party.
He said that he knew when he
accepted his present post that he
had a sorry task which would gain
him criticism. The minister, who is
called by his enemies "the blood
hound of the revolution" declared
that his troops had saved Germany
from chaos.
He concluded with the announce
ment that the Schuetzen division,
some of the officers of which were
implicated in the death of Karl
Liebknecht had been disloyal

There is an evident impress
sion in Paris that the Allied re-
ply to the German counter pro-
posals which will probably be
ready late Saturday night will refuse
the German request for important
alterations in the terms of peace.
The Germans will be given FIVE
days in which to make up their
minds as to their course. Thus final
action by them on the treaty may
be expected about next Thursday.
No Material Changes
While the Council of Four will
probably explain the provisions of
the treaty and may grant some
minor concessions, it appears there
are to be no changes which will ma
terially tighten the burden placed
on the enemy by the treaty present
ed on May I.
ReyerSeS Causes Uncasincss
Military reverses suffered by Ad-
miral Koplaks troops in South
western Russia have also caused un-
easineSs.
William Trotter. of Boston, secre-
tary of the National Equal Rights
League has presented every member
of the Peace Conference a petition
from colored citizens of America
asking that a clause assuring all
citizens full liberty in the rights of
democracy and protection of life
without distinction based on race,
color or previous condition" be in
serted in the covenant of the League
of Nations.
Turk Enyoys Reach Paris
The Turkish peace delegation ar
rived in Paris to-day, accompanied
by French naval lieutenant and a
captain from the staff of General
Franchet d osprey, the Allied COM
mander in the Near East. There
was no official reception. The party
remained in its car, which was sent
to Naucresson, in the suburbs.
