OPPONENTS BREAKING
 HEART OF PRESIDENT

Washington, October 2.-(Special )-The cpuhlicans of the Senate would break he heart of the world. according to the resident of the United States, were they C defeat the league of nations.
 And in addition, they would break the teart of the President.
 Those seeking to find the cause of the residents recent breakdown" on This our in behalf of the league have aban- loned the claim of Dr. Cary Grayson hat Mir. Wilson went under as result of strain incident to his 10-year constant 5rind in affairs of state, nation and world.
 Those closest to the President believe him to be heartsick as result of disap- pointment As is recalled, the President eft Europe after having received the homage of every people of every nation Europe was aflame in it's appreciation of the Presidents great idea embodied in the 'eague of nations The President did not toresee that there could be division in the tinted States of permanent character His ideahsm would not permit him to believe that men would so far forget the better things of life as to play politics and resort to billingsgate in determined effort to establish their purposes.
 Even when the Senate proved itself ob- iurate, despite his patient efforts to ex- plain the leagues every point and re- nove the several causes of objection. the President did not believe that the people themselves were divided-or that they could not be united as result of a frank explanation. But when he went to the country he found the people just as the members of the Senate-divided in such manner that their reunion in a common
 ause was impossible.
 The President was received with enthu- iasm, just as all other Presidents have been received. He found partisans, warm supporters, enthusiasts in his cause. He found also bitter opposition. And he en- countered criticism. It is said that his most poignant distress resulted from the toleration by audiences of abuse and viii lification heaped upon his head by im- passioned politicians. The President felt tt is said, that even if the people could not indorse his ideas they should not be blind enough to allege improper motives Applause such as greeted Senator Pon- dexter in New York when he declared the President to be the worst menace of the United States, the friend of the 'Reds' and pro-German, struck the President directly in the heart
 He is disappointed and humiliated His is dream at the present time shattered It is his heart more than the heart of the world which the republicans are breaking. And therein, those very close to the President indicate. is the seat of his physical malady

DUDLEY GIVEN F
 YEAR SENTENCE Quarrel Over Price of Shoe Shine Leads to Killing
 of Negro

A verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree, and sentence of 12 years imprisonment was the find of the jury in the case of Wiley Dudley, negro, heard in Judge H. P. Heflin's court yesterday.
 Dudley was indicted for the killing of George Densen, a one-legged negro, dur ing a quarrel on June 10, and he was charged with murder in the second de- gree
 From evidence offered it appears that Dudley went into Huffman's Place on Third avenue, near Twenty-sixth street, for shine. Densen shined his shoes and demanded 15c. This was refused and a dime given. Densen in order to enforce his claim to the odd nickle rapped Dud- ley over the head with an iron bar. Dud- ley then left the place, retaining his 5 cents, and large lump on his head. Not satisfied with this demonstration of h's determination to enforce his rights to the extra five, Denson next hurled som- bottles at Dudley. He made two hits out of three. The first in the ribs, the second wild and the third on the head.
 Dudley turned on his assailant, drew a pistol and shot him three times Den sen died soon after. Dudley was arrested before he had proceeded two blocks by Officer Nuby, and indictment followed.

Real Reason Why Johnson
 Went Back to California
Chief Supporters in His Campaigns Wired Him People of His State Overwhelmingly Favored Ratification Without Changes-Many Retiring Officers
 Placed in Permanent Positions
By HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, October 2.-(SpeciaL)-Now what really caused old Hiram to hot-foot it back to California?
 There were just two factors. The first was the confession of Republican Leader Lodge that he didn't have votes enough to put through the Johnson amendment to the league of nations-that amend ment which would give the United States as many votes in the assembly of the league as the British empire.
 The second was the following telegram, a copy of which The Age-Herald corre- spondent has secured:
 Los Angeles, Cal, September 26-Sen- The undersigned have been your loyal supporters, voting for you both as gov ernor and United States senator In our opinion the overwhelming sentiment of the people of California is strongly in favor of the peace treaty and the cove nant of the league of nations. We have given careful consideration and we are convinced that the treaty should be rati- fled without amendment or reservation. We believe that the hope of humanity lies in the covenant for q league of na- tions.

, contained in resolution, win le re-
 jected.
 Which party will be charged. techni- cally, with Its rejection? Of course, the
 republican will be to blame, for the dem- ocratic party wants the league But in a purely technical sense, it might be pos
 sible for the republicans to charge the democratic party with the rejection of the league.
 It is possible that the democrats will manage to defeat proposed amendments. In the routine of procedure, Senator Lodge will then present his resolution of
 ratification with reservations. On ac- count of the opposition of 70 democrats, the resolution will not receive the neces- Sary two-thirds majority, and will be rejected. Senator Hitchcock will then present his resolution of ratification with out reservations. The republicans prom ise to reject that resolution. Then they woudl be respons sible for the death of the league.
 But the republicans are preparing, it is said, to prevent the presentation of the Hitchcock resolution. It requires a ma jority vote in the Senate before a resolu- tion can be presented. The republicans have the majority and may prevent Hitch cock putting his resolution before the Senate.
 The republicans would be animal ted by |, two reasons. If the Hitchcock resolution is not presented, the democrats may e charged with having defeated the ratifi- cation of the treaty proposed by the republicans. But their second reason is
 he more appealing from their standpoint.
 For. the Lodge resolution with reserva- tions having been beaten. the republicans
 will be forced to support the league or reject the lea que without frills or fancies
 )r tactical excuses.
 Lodge fears that many of his follow
 ITS, having failed to secure reservations
 liter an earnest fight could not recon
 cile with their consciences or with their constituents, the defeat of the league tself, the rejection Of the peace treaty, lecessitating the continua ton of the war, m appeal to Germany for other terms, and perpetuating the industrial districts
 1f the world which presently is omnibus 1f anarchy or revolution.
 As a parliamentary contest, nothing could be prettier than the fight for q league of nations in the Senate of the United States The fight runs the entire gamut of human emotions. It may turn on a single misplayed card, or single rote. So delcately is the machinery oi he game adjusted that no senator on the lemocratic side, the minority pro-league
 de. will absent himself from Washing on.
 The Presidents hope in the eventual success of the league is attributable 'c his knowledge of the psychology of the ;ituation. When all by-plays and trickl If strategy are eliminated, will the re- 1ublicans reject the treaty of peace an assume the fearful responsibility whie1 would certainly follow such action?

OFFICERS PLACED IN
 PERMANENT POSITIONS

Washington, October 2.-tSpeciall , Within the Il months which have elapsed since the signing of the armsitce, the government of the United States has placed in permanent positions 1900 off cers retiring from the military service.
 In addition, as result of indirect effor exerted through the United States n. ployment service, through extensive ad vertisement and constant appeal to th patriotism of employees, nouenploymen throughout the United States respecting former service Gsu is entirely negative.
 An Alabama soldier Col. Matthe'v Smith. brother of James J. Smith of Bir- mingham, is authority for the above statements. Col smith is now a member of the general staff having succeeded Col Arthur Wood as assistant to the secretary of war with the special assign nent Of locating commissioned officers h civil employment.
 "A very fine work has already beer done said Col smith to the correspond. ent Of The Aqe-Ierald. And we intend 70 continue this work. Since the number oI officers in the army must be reduced to 1S,090. there will be another 10,O00 o, lS,000 officers thrown out of the military service. We intend to look out for al these men.
 ''It is our hope that within the veal from the signing of the armistice every olAlSCi oL lhS NHlted otAleS dIIlly Telli- ing from service will have found a civi position suitable to his particular talent and ability.
 Tt is entirely possible that this hope will be realized. We were absolutely confident until the strike of the stee workers temporarily upset calculations Should the strike come to quick end w believe all officers will be cared for Should the strike continue and becom, nation wide our task will of course bt rendered a great deal more difficult. Fol steel is the basis of industry
 Col. Smith rendered conspicuous serv- ice in the United States during the wal against Germany, and so valuable wa' his work in various points regarded tha his urgent request for trans-Atlanti, service was constantly refused.
