Safeguards for Monroe
Doctrine and Japanese
Racial Amendment.

Paris. March 22.-The peace con-
ference commission on the league
OF nations at its meeting at Amer
lean headquarters this afternoon un-
der the craftsmanship of President
Wilson completed consideration of
eight articles of the league cove
nant, the changes being formal.
The important amendments con-
cerning the Monroe doctrine, the
Japanese amendment for just racial
treatment and the French amend
ment, relative to the creation of a
general staff were deferred for con-
sideration at the next meeting, to be
held Moaday at $50 p. m.
The japanese amendment has
been revised so as to be introduced
into the preamble and recites the
equality of nationals of the states
belonging to the league.
The neutrals have proposed 80
amendments, but they are largely
formal, except Swiss amendment
SODSClHiuS SoSSlSlShty.
The various plans proposed for
safeguarding the Monroe doctrine,
however, are the chief subjects Of
interest in American quarters.
Amendments Considered.
Th. official statement on the
meeting of the committee on the
league of nations says:
This was the first meeting of the
commission since the draft of the
covenant was presented to the plen-
ary session of the conference on
February H.
"A discussion took place on a
humber of amendments suggested
by the members of the commission
as result of the recent exchange of
views with the representatives OF
neutral states or of the constructive
criticism to which the covenant has
been generally submitted.
The committee will resume its
examination of the covenant on
Monday evening at $50 O'Clock"
Economic Subjects Determined.
Economic subjects to be intro
duced into the preliminary peace

"A concrete and steel grandstand

thing which will grow bigger as

Street Cars to Grounds.
Transportation is another thing,
The Street Railway company would

Horse and automobile races, tig
sham battles, Payne's fireworks and

things announced as likely to draw
the crowds to the big Show"
An extraordinary drive for mem
bership is to be made this year and
Weaver thinks the total may reach
5000. Already 800 memberships
have been taken out which is twice
as many as had been issued last
year at this time. Weaver hopes
to have $500 memberships by June

At the close of more than six
hours of discussion, it was an
nounced that in the absence Of any
organization competent to speak for
majority of the lumber producers
in this country, no agreement had
been reached and in view Of the
complexity of the situation, suffi.

which the board could base any

Formal charges of cowardly and
unwarranted shooting and serious

was attacked Wednesday at Capi-
tol avenue and Twentieth street by
Detective G. Knudson, were filed
against the detective with A. V.

Eight affidavits of eye witnesses
to the shooting were submitted to
the county attorney. All of them
state that the officers attack was
unprovoked and unjustihable.
More Witnesses Found.
Mr.. Aye declared that a dozen
additional afidavits would be OBJ
tanned condemning the detective for
his criminal attack on young Cole
man.
Whether or not Mr. Shotwell will
ask for an indictment against
Knudston depends on the result of
the decision of the county attorney
after reading the affdavits. declared
Mr.. Aye.
In the event the soldier dies. a
charge of murder will be asked for.
If Coleman should recover from
his wound, charge of shooting
and wounding with intent to kill
will be sought, it was said.
Asked if Detective Knudtson
would be suspended pending the in
vestigation of the case, Dean Ringer,
police commissioner, declared that
no action would be taken until Mon
day.
Chief Eberstein went out this af-
ternoon to investigate" he said
THE chief will make his report and
the commission will act later
Ringer Yet Undecided.
Mr.. Ringer asserted that he was
unable to state whether the commits
son would take any action looking to
discharging the detective prior to
the prosecution of criminal charges
in the district court. "This de-
pends on the report of the chef OF
police" he said.
Attorney Aye declared that in the
event the commission did not take
some action of it's accord, it was
likely that Mr.. Finn. his client
would make such a demand of the
city officials.

Is Love- Contest f.


First Prize.
Give to love definition
He is foolish who would try.
Could you tell your souls position
Or the distance to the sky?
Love to some brings joy and laughter,
Love to others brings tear;
Love will last through the hereafter,
Love has died and love Is here.
Loves bubble, here one minute,
Gone the next for evermore,
But heart. when love Is in It,
Sings as ne'er it sang before.
Loves a servant or a master,
A condition of the mind;
Love can make our hearts beat faster,
But 1t cannot be defined.
Loves a fad or loves a fashion,
Or a feeling for friend;
Loves the antidote Of passion,
The beginning Of the end.

Love must fully be defined"

All Nebraska's brains combined.

Love can ne'er cornered be.
Love is not . thing for barter,
As chattels are or property.
Loves the spring of clean ambition:
1t helps to reach the highest peak.
He who though on humble mission
To duty tendest nobiy meek.
Love was known to Thor and Belder
No newborn frills are seen in love.
Love was known in old Valhalla,
Will be known in heaven above.
Love is not a fleeting passion:
BY swine should not be undertrod.
Love is pure. Is high, is holy.
Its fountain Is the soul Of God,
