"They deliberately framed the
wrong description to throw the
Hastings police off the track. At
that I think the Hastings chief was
suspicious. While he did not &C

there was something wrong.

Murphy and Pszanowski returned
to Omaha and reported to Chief
Eberstein and Captain Briggs that
their man had gotten away.
while | was out in the state

look up stolen automobiles, Ken

deliver to him a super-six. He did
not know l was in Jail. My moth

sence. When | returned to Omaha
| found that Chief Eberstein was in
possession of the letter. Kennedy
signed the name Keith to the let
ter instead of using his own name.
The chief told me he wanted this
man Keith. He dictated a letter,
which | signed, and mailed to Keith,
offering to deliver super-six. 1t
was Eberstein's plan to have the
detectives go with me and arrest the
man when | delivered the car.
Il did not want to jam Kennedy,

Later Chief Eberstein became so
anxious to arrest Kennedy that
told him what had happened in
Hastings when the detectives let the
man go for $ll0
"Chief Eberrstein then dropped
the matter like a hot biscuit. I
never heard him refer to Kennedy

Chief of Police E. A. St. Johns of

last January for automobile thefts.'
Il received word from the chief

said. Later located the man in

Omaha police. | never heard whether

Chief of Detective Dunn was
asked if he desired to make state

Pszanowski and Murphy should be

Chief Dunn communicated with

Germans Willing to
Reduce Armament:
Reject Allies Terms

that the terms of peace completely
ignore the fact that Germany has
replaced an "imperialistic and ire
sponsible government" by a strictly
democratic one and that Germany in
its proposals for a league of nations
has adhered to the principle of a
limitation of ornaments.
1T would be difficult to see," one
section reads, what different condi-
tions could have been imposed upon
an imperialistic government. The
solemn assurances of France, Great
Britain and President Wilson that
the peace would be peace of right
and not of violence, have not been
kept especially regarding territorial
questions"
Ask Impartial Settlement.
The proposal of the German peace
delegation to the entente and asso-
clated representative regarding Ger
many's former colonies points out to
the peace conference that an abso-
lutely impartial settlement of all CO.
lonial claims was promised in No.
5 of the IA points mentioned in
President Wilson's message to con-
gress January s, 1918, and claims
that "an impartial settlement pre-
supposes hearing of both sides be-
fore a decision is taken and such
hearing has not taken place"
while appealing to the promise,
and especially to the principle, that
the regulation of colonial claims
should take place with due regard
equally to the interest of govern
ments and the governed" says the
German note, the proposal is made
to refer colonial questions to a spe
clal committee This committee, to
be formed of mandatories and ex-
perts of both parties, shall take as
the subject of its deliberation the
aforementioned point five, and other
points mentioned in President Will
sons note of November S, 1918; the
article of the draft of the peace con-
ditions relating to colonial questions
and section nine of the George
league of nations proposals, as we'll

The proposal argues that the de-
mand that Germany renounce her
overseas possessions cannot be rec
onciled with the armistice terms
and holds the view that Germany's
claim to the restoration Of her col
onies is just

also fulfilling interest requirements.
Both issues have been subject tc
violent fluctuations since the over
throw of the Russian monarchy, but
recently they have shown hrmer

MAKE TREATY AN
ELECTION ISSUE
Party Leaders Glad to Take
Up League of Nations in
Next Campaign; Feel
Confident.

: Chicago, May 2S.-Describing the
republican party as an organization
which complains and moves back
ward" and the peace treaty and the
League of Nations covenant as "the
greatest document of human liberty
ever prepared" Chairman Homer S
Cummings, of the democratic ma
tional committee, today sounded the
keynote for an aggressive presiden-
tial campaign in 1920
Party leaders declared they vel
coined the opportunity to make the
peace treaty and the League of Ma
tions covenant the issue in the
forthcoming fight and expressed con-
hdence of victory.
Until President Wilson definitely
announces his attitude toward third
term, party chieftains say, there will
be no serious discussion of cand-
dates.
Congratulate Wilson.
The committee adopted a reso1u-
ton congra tulating President Viii
son on his work at Paris in drafting
the treaty of peace and the League
of Nations covenant and calling on
the United States senate promptly
to ratify the documents.
J. Bruce Kremer of Montana, vice
chairman of the committee, said the
democrats would welcome the op-
portunity to make the peace treaty
and the league of nations covenant
the issue in the next presidential
campaign.
The democratic party had full
filled all its prediction pledges. He
welcomed the advent of women into
party politics and said that the
votes Of women in the western suf-
frage states we're largely responsible
for democratic success in 1918.
Points Out Blunder.
Mrs. Percy V. Pennypacker Of Tex
as, speaking for the women associate
members of the committee, said the
democratic congress made a blunder
when it failed to adopt the woman's
suffrage constitutional amendment,
and that the committee should admit
it. She said if the country was to
remain democratic the help of the
women was needed.
The committee is considering
holding its next meeting in January,
1920 at San Francisco.
