cial. AFTER lengthy discussion
regarding the advisability of amend
ing the Omaha police biz, the lower
house of the special session of the
legislature passed the bill just be-
fore adjournment.
Reynolds of Douglas introduced a
resolution calling upon the governor
to call another special session i'm
mediately.
The resolution recited the fact
that there was no distinction made
in the present law between rape by
force and rape by consent and that
distinction should be made. OBJ
lection to its introduction was
made on the grounds that mention
of the matter was not made in the
call for a special session, Dut Speak
er Dalbey ruled that consideration
of the resolution would not be a
matter of business and the reso1u-
ton went over one day under the
call.
A committee consisting of Frantz,
Snow and Purcell were appointed to
investigate the delay in the printing
of the journal of the house of the
regular session.

the judiciary committee, in the
chair. Reading of the bill proceed

to paragraph 2 of section AGO of the
statutes. At this point DR.. Jenison
of Harvard sent up an amendment

The amendment provided that the
head of the police department could
remove a policeman for cause, but
that the policeman would nave the
right of appeal to the commission.
If, after hearing, five of the COM
mission voted to reinstate him, he
could retain his job.
Druesedow of Douglas raised the
point of order that the amendment
was not covered in the cali for a
special session made by the gov

League Of Nations to Be
Launched In Short Time
Plans Made For President Wilson to Issue Call For
Meeting of Council After Publication of Ratifca-
tons of Peace Treaty and Covenant by Four Powers

Washington, Oct. 16.-While no
official declaration can be made in
advance of the action of the senate
on the treaty of Versailles, it was
learned unoficially today that plans
were being laid for bringing the
league of nations into existence al
most Immediately upon the publica-
ton in Paris of the ratification of
the treaty by Great Britain, France,
Italy and Germany, which will put
it into force.
Although the United States cam
not participate in the initial stages
of the leagues work, it is under
stood that the decision has been
reached to have President Wilson
issue a call for the first meeting of
the council Of the league within the
15-day period provided in the treaty
for the appointment by the council
of three members of the commits
sion which is to determine the
boundary of the Saav basin.
Need Not Wait on U. S.
Article V of the covenant provides
that decisions of the council Shall
require the agreement of all of the
members of the league represented
at the meeting" and it is held here
that this does not specifically re-
quire the attendance of an American
member to legalize such decision.
No less than IS commissions,
created by the peace treaty, appear
to require American participation,
and certain plebiscites, confirming
title to various disputed territories,
also are to be conducted under a
joint international control. The
present view of the officials here,
however, is that representatives of
Great Britain, France, Italy and pos
sibly Tapan. whose ratification Of

House Arranges Program.
Plans for the Inauguration of the
league were discussed by Col. E. M.
House during his recent stay in Eng
land and he is understood to have
pursued the work as far as he felt
warranted in advance of the action
OF the senate on the treaty. 1t also
is understood that charters for the
league secretariat in Geneva tenta-
lively have been obtained, and while
in London Colonel House is<be-
lieved to have arranged with the rep
resentatives of other nations a tenta-
tive program for the first meeting.
If Colonel Houses health permits.
he is is expected in Washington per-
haps next week, and it will then be
in order to frame the call for the
first meeting of the council of the
league, which President Wilson's
physicians are expected to permit
him to sign.
In the view of officials here this
first meeting of the council must ar
range for the appointment of the va
rious commissions and the plebiscite
described in the treaty, but aside
from that its proceedings are ex-
pected to be rather limited. Later
on. if this initial stage is safely
passed and the senate shall have
consented to the ratification of the
treaty, the president will issue a cali
for the first meeting of the assembly
of the league, which will be in
Washington some time early next
