WILSON INTERPRETS
 LEAGUE PACT
(continued from Page one)

Continued from Page One)
 compelling moral obligation under the league was emphasized in statement issued jointly tonight by Senators Borah, Idaho. and Johnson, Califor- mia. republican members of the com mittee and two of the bitterest oppon- ents to the treaty in it's present form. They declared the days testimony had borne out their claims that the league would lead to interminable foreign complication. They also pointed out that Senator Johnson had developed in the days meeting that good part of the territorial settlement resulting from the war was yet to be determined.
 The arrangements for publishing a transcript of the discussion which grew out of suggestion from the commit tee that senators be not required to keep the proceedings in confidence, had MT. Wilson's personal supervision. After the committee had departed he went to the White House basement where the newspaper correspondents were waiting for the last of the steno- graphic report, and asked whether everything there was going smoothly. T came down." he said to the cor respondents, ito inquire of you gen. tlemen if the report of the conference was handled the way you wanted
 President Wilson began his confer ence with the senate foreign relations committee at the white house today with an opening statement on the peace treaty and the league Of na tions. He said
 Wilson Welcomes Opportunity
 MT. Chairman: I am sincerely glad sponded in this way to my intimation that I would like to be of service to it. I welcome the opportunity for frank and full interchange of views.
 T hope, too, that this conference will serve to expedite your consideration of the treaty of peace. I beg that you will pardon and indulge me if I again urge that practically the whole task of bringing the country back to normal conditions of life and industry waits upon decisions of the senate with re- gard to the terms of the peace.
 T venture thus again to urge my ad- vice that the action of the senate with regard to the treaty be taken at the earliest possible moment because the problems with which we are face to  face in the readjustment of our na- tiOnal life are of the most pressing and critical character, will require for their proper solution the most intimate and disinterested cooperation of all par ties and all interests, and cannot be I postponed without manifest peril to our people and to all the national ad- vantages we hold most dear. May 1 mention a few of the matters which cannot be handled with intelligence until the country knows the character of the peace 1t is 10 lave? I do so s only by a very few samples.
 The copper mines of Montana and Alaska, for example, are being kent open and in operation only at a great r cost and loss, in part upon borrowed money; the zinc mines of Missouri.

the bearish nature OF the govern

MANY FAMOUS RESORTS
GET READY TO GO DRY

SAN FRANCISCO, May 49,
"The Palace bar turned into a soda
water and ice cream parlor--
Gosh" To men who are reaching
the sunset days OF their lives; who
were o part of the hectic period of
the Comstock mining boom s.rd
other famous bonanza DAYS in the
various sections of the anfettcred
West with it's open gam.ling and
many famous bars and hotels it be-
comes an effort of the Inauguration
to picture the transition which will
occur July 1.
But the Palace Hotel bar will
make the change, it has just been
announced. The largest and most
famous of the far western institu-
lions of that character, whose net
income is said to have been in the
neighborhood of $4,000 a year,
where men discussed millions over
their cocktails or highballs and
where many a gigantic mining, land
or stock deal was consummated,
will fall in line. Behind this bar
hangs Maxfield Parrish's mural
decoration 1.-THE Pied Piper of Ham
lin," which cost the hotel manage
ment $4,000. A companion piece,
"Old King Cole" hangs in the
Knickerbocker hotel in New York.
The Lick bar, rebuilt since the
earthquake and fire of 1906, is as
ISOLATED with the early days of the
city and about the name cluster
many of the associations of the vigi-
lantes who put an end to murder
and lawlessness in San Francisco.
The same may be said of the Ex-
change saloon, the marble floor of
which was shipped around the Horn
about 1849. 1t was the headquar-
ters of the leaders of San Francisco
affairs.
In Bakersfield is the Southern
Bar. 1t was the scene of many a
revel of titled and high born Eng
lishmen who used to ride in from
the colony at Rosedale and, filling
themselves with sparkling wine,
were prone to remember their
mounts by pouring bottles of cham
payne down the Threats of their
horses. Tradition has it that Lord
Shalto Douglas was n of the gay
blades.

With the passing of the liquor
trade will go Jack Doyle's place at
Vernon known to all followers Of
the prize ring and where nearly
one hundred bartenders serve the
crowds. Here in their heyday have
passed Jeffries, johnson, Choynski,
Fitzsimmons, Kid Mccoy, Britt,
Richie, Young Corbett. McGovern
and many other men famed in the
history of the prize ring.
In Los Angeles, the Oak, situated
near the court house, already had
passed out. Its nickname of the
Dynamite Reef was acquired, not
on account of any high power stock
it may have carried, but because it
was the favorite meeting place for
many of those connected with the
trial of those conceIn ned in the
blowing up of the Los Angeles
Times building.

sort cling we're the Dead Rat"
known to police and newspaper
men; the Pantheon, the heart of Chi
natown, near which. more than a
score of Chinese wehe lynched by 4
mob more than a quarter of a CEN
fury ago; and the Bucket OF
Blood" a name to be found in many
western cities.
Texas, already dry, even now
only has memories Of the Cactus,
the Parlor, Wigwam, Gem. The
Ranch, the Ruby, Aston House, the
Palace, Coney Island and Lobby,
names which will endure in books Of
fact and faction which have been
written about the early days when
bands of recreation seeking COW
punchers galloped down the streets
to a fusillade of pistol shots and
rode their ponies up to the bars.

loon in Denver, which got it's name
from the Silver dollars cemented

Everywhere it is the same, and
while many mourn the passing of
the famous resorts, all are prepar-
ing for the transition.

NORTHERN RIDE OVER
DESERT IS ELIMINATED
TONOPAH g. GOLDFIELD TRAIN
TO LEAVE GOLDFIEID IN I.
EVENING

An important and what will with
out doubt prove a yer welcome
change in schedules of train service
between Goldfield and San Fran
cisco, will be made effective in the
very near future, probably about
June 10. This is assured by a tele-
gram received by the Tribune this
afternoon from Vice President
Forster, who is in Carson, which
makes certain that the proposed
schedule has been approved by the
railroad commission.
Under the new schedule trains
from the north will arrive about 8
O'Clock in the morning, or about an
hour earlier than at present, and
will depart about $3.50 o'clock in
the evening, thus avoiding the day
light ride over the desert in both
directions.

SHIP CARRIES
RECORD CARGO

GALVESTON. Texas, May "a
The distinction of carrying the
largest cargo ever contained in the
holds of a vessel is claimed by ship
ping men for the British steam
ship Indore, which left here for
Liverpool with 2S.3S6 square bales of
cotton. This was accomplished by
a method Of scientifically compress
ing the bales until they occupied
minimum space.
The closest approach to the rec
ord was made by the Russian steam
ship Omsk which in December,
1917, carried 27,13O square bales
from Galveston to Liverpool. A
strict news censorship would not
permit mention of that record.

RED CROSS IN EUROPE
BATTLES WITH DISEASE

the frontiers and closely examined
civil refugees and other former
prisoners of war returning to their
homes. An investigation by the In
ternational Red Cross Mission shows
that possibly rs per cent of the
population of Lemberg and other
centers of Old Galicia are infected
by the various forms Of typhus, dys-
entary, tuberculosis or other infec-
tious or mental and rvo dis
eases.
The conditions are considered
worse here owing to closer contact
with Russia. In one hospital here
are 500 cases of typhus and 600
cases of social diseases. For a
population of 100000 there are
but so physicians. Thus far six doc
tors have died of typhus and three
others are ill. The conditions are
made worse by lack of soaps, dis
i~nfectants, change of clothing and
sheets. Virtually all the window
curtains have been requisitioned for
use as bed blothing or for making
women's underclothes.
OF a total of $50 drug stores, 200
are without drugs. In the hos
pitfalls all kinds of cases are treated
in the same wards.
These diseases are spreading
partly from Russia where it is af-
firmed that the Red army is con-
taminated with social disease to the
extent of 70 per cent. Many dis
eases also were spread by Russian
prisoners who were interned in
Hungary and who have returned to
Russia since the armistice was
signed. Many of these were in a
horrible condition. When set free
by the authorities and told to go
home, they crowded the trains in
such numbers and under such condi-
tions that thousands died of hunger
and illness on the way. One train
load stopped here and discharged
800 dead. More than 1000 such un-
fortunates now have been buried
here.
In one week there arrived at Kiev
trains freighted with 600 dead. The
diseases are spread partly by YER
min. Lack of food is making con-
ditions worse. There is no coffee,
Tea costs So a pound, bread SO
cents a pound, sugar 81 a pound

KING ALBERT CREATES
INTEREST IN FRANCE

BRUSSELS, May 20-The arrival
of the King of the Belgians in Paris
to present the case Of Belgium be-
fore the peace conference created
great interest in Paris. The fact
that the King made the journey
from his capital to that of the
French republic by air route made
his arrival more spectacular.
Few knew that the King had Or
iginally intended to go to London
that morning but changed his mind
at the last moment. Crombez, the
young Belgian millionaire aviator,
who piloted him in all Of his air
travels told the Associated Press
THAT his motor was running, his pro-
peller just gathering speed when he
was informed by the King that
Paris and not London was to be
their objective on that particular
trip.

MANY BIG PROJECTS
FOR FRENCH LABOR
MEN CANNOT BE SECURED FOR
IMPORTANT WORK IN
FRANCE

PARIS, May 16.-There is work
right now in France for every man
who wants to work, according to NJ.
Claveille, minister of public works,
who told an Associated Press repre-
sentative today that the lack of
labor alone is holding back some
the important public work for which
material was assembled while the
