SENATE HAS
NO POWER TO
GRANT DESIRE
Denies Wilson's Request to
Approve Appointment of
Man on Preparations
By Associated Press.

Washington, July 22.-In re-
sponse to President Wilson's request
that it approve provisional appoint
ment of an American representative
on the reparations commission to be
created under the Peace Treaty, the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
to-day adopted a declaration that
until the Treaty is ratified mo power
exists" to carry out it's provisions.
The declaration, in the form of a
resolution by Senator Knox, Rep
ublican, Pennsylvania, was adopted
without a record vote, though the
committee previously had divided
eight to seven in favor of substi-
tuting the Knox proposal for one
which would have left open the
question of the Presidents authority.
In this vote Senator McCum Der,
Republican, of North Dakota, Joined
the Democrats in the negative.
A motion by Senator Hitchcock,
Democrat, of Nebraska, to add later
a declaration of the Presidents
power to act, was lost to 6. Sena-
tor McCumber voting with the Rep
ubllcanS.
Would EmbroiI U. S.
Declaring it is not the League of
Nations but the big five to which
the Peace Treaty gives responsibility
for effecting the terms of peace, Sen
ator Moses, New Hampshire, Rep
bulican of the Foreign Relations
Committee, told the Senate that by
accepting the role of principal
power as defined in the Treaty the
United States would embroil itself
for many years to come in European
troubles.
The senator said that while the
League Covenant was bad enough,
other provisions of the Treaty were
worse.
Urges Acceptance
Supporting the League of Nations
in speech to-day Senator McNary,
Republican, Oregon, urged it be ac-
cepted without any such amendments
or reservations as would alter the
splendid purposes of the Covenant
or weaken it SO far as it affects our
duties"
The Senate, said the speaker, could
without harm adopt certain "reserva-
tions in the form of interpretations, -
but should not endanger the Coven-
ant by making reservations that
would vitality affect important feat
ures. Article ten, he said, must be
unlmpaired because it was the pill
lar section of the League.

The resolution declares McAnally
to have been actuated by patriotic
motives and to have been ignorant
that he was committing any wrong
in painting the statue of the arch

American People Want To

ing War Bill Still Unpaid.

Washington. March 22.-With a
staggering war bill still unpaid the
American people are earnestly inquir-

league of nations will cost them before
they take on the contract. Senator
Borah, Idaho, declared today on his
return from his second speaking tour
against the league.
Borah spoke in New York state.
Ohio and Indiana. Everywhere, he
said, he found interest increasing in
the lea que covenant. The two ques-
tions the people want a plain answer
to, in Borah's opinion. are:
VIII the proposed league prevent
war or foment it?
What will it cost US in men and
money?
There is a general feeling. he de-

Cables from abroad, telling how

United States be given supervision of
their interests. have caused much un-
easiness. he said. The people want
military establishment to police some
other country. They are deeply con-
cerned over meeting their present
bills. They want no more Americans
killed fighting a foreign foe on a for
eign soil. The letters and appeals from
mothers clubs and individual moth

FULL REBATE DUE
Gas Company Must Refund in
Excess of 2S-Cent Rate.
That Is Statement Made Today
by John NJ. KinkeI.

In a statement issued today John
NJ. Kfnkel. chairman of the Kansas
public utilities commission, said that
after examining Ifon-official opinions
of the supreme court relative to the
recent Kansas Natural gas decision,
there can be no doubt of~the custom
ers' right to a refund of the excess
rate paid over the ascent rate estab-
lished by the commission. Kinkel's
statement follows:
"A non official copy of the opinion
of the supreme court has been re-
ceived and is now being analyzed by
our attorney, Mr.. Jackson. On the
whole, it appears that the court has
sustained the commission on the main
points involved in the case and has
definitely decided that the distribu-
ton of gas under local franchises is
not interstate commerce, and that
such distribution is subject to the
jurisdiction and control of this COM
mission.
'Since both the temporary and per-
manent injunction DEGREES have been
reversed. there can be no doubt of
the customers right to a refund of
the excess rates paid over the 2S-cent
rate established by this commission.
Immediately upon receipt of an Of
ficial copy of the opinion, the COM
mission will make a further and COM
plete statement in regard to the en-
tire case for the benefit of the public

Officially and Finally the 1919
Legislature AdiOurns.
Only a Few Members on Hand
for Aliens Message.
BODY IN SESSION CT DAYS
All Members Left
for Homes Thursday.
Bills Not Signed Became Laws
Without Allen Action.

The Kansas legislature adjourned
sine die at noon today. The half
dozen members who were present to
receive Governor Aliens final mes
sage went thru the customary pro-
ceedings of ending the legislative year.
There were no frills or ceremonies
surrounding the ending of the session.
Practically all legislators retui ned
to their homes early in the week.
When the session actually ended
Thursday noon, there was a bare
quorum in the house. Except officers
of the house and senate and members
of the Shawnee county delegation,
few lawmakers remainded in Topeka
for the final windup.
Delay was encountered in sending
messages to the legislature today in
view of the fact that Governor Allen
has been out of the city two days. His
trip delayed the signing of many of
the important enactments of the re-
cent session. 1t was his second trip
from the city during the session. In
view of the important bills awai ing
his action at this time, however, the
trip delayed MESA ges of executive ac-
ton to the two houses The final
bunch o. official signatures was sent
to the legislature at noon Such bills
as might fail to receive action in he
closing hours before sine die adjourn
ment become laws without executive
action.
In Session 81 Days.
Following receipt of the governor s
final message, the house notified the
senate that it had concluded its wo1 k
and awaited its pleasure. The senate,
having also received a report from the
governors executive CLERK, messas I'd
back word that it was ready to ad-
Journ in keeping with the resolution
which fixed the time for ending the
session. The two houses then ad-
journed.
According to the record, the 1919
legislature has been in session sixty
seven calendar days. Actual working
days were ffty-six, not including tW O
holidays, when the legislature worl; ed
in recess session. A total of 32O new
laws-not including joint and concur
rent resolutions-were passed by the
legislature. Two vetoes were exercised
by the governor.

He was told the U-boats would

He believed victory was certain up

TWO MORE VETOES
Allen Kills Getty "Blind Waiv-
er" Bill and Bond Measure.
Signs Migratory Bird Law by
Mistake, Then Recalls 1t.

Governor Allen today signed the MI
gratory bird bill after having vetoed
it. Not until several hours after the
bill was signed was the mistake dis
covered. Then the governor sent a
special message to the senate recalling
the bill.
Two vetoes were used by the gov
ernor this morning. bringing his total
for the session to four. In his mes
sages to the legislature today the gov
ernor indicated his disapproval of SEN
ate bill 1856 and senate bill As. Sen
ate bill 4S was by Senator Getty. who
also introduced the migratory bird
bill which Governor Allen vetoed.
Senator Getty's latest bill to come
under the ak provided that blind per-
sons over 18 years old might waive
claims for compensation under the
workmen's compensation act. The
governor used his veto power in keep
ing this measure out of the session
laws. A second bill vetoed today con-
cerned the issuance of bonds by cities
Of the second class. Earlier in the
session Governor Allen had approved
a bill extending the same power to
to avoid duplication of enactments
and not because of objection to pro-
visions of the new act.
The four bills vetoed during the ses-
sion include the two measures disap-
proved today, the Getty measure
which sought to prohibit federal in
reference in enforcement of the mi
gratory bird law and a house bill
providing for the collection of attor-
neys' fees by plaintiffs in actions
against insurance COMPANIES

Paris. March 22.-The japanese
press bureau today issued the follow

ton on the league of nations cove

-Japan's proposed amendment re-
garding the racial question is merely

The league OF nations places each
member under equal obligation. Why
should they not be entitled to equal

be interpreted as definite denial of
