AMERICAN ACE
VISITING THE
Line CITIES

Yesterday about o'clock, Major
Edgar Tobin and Lieutenant Estil.
Air Service, United States Army,

Shortly before the President ar
rived at the capitol Lezekel appeared
in the building bearing letter ad-
dressed to "Woodrow Wilson, Presi-
dent, Capitol Building" which he
said he desired to deliver to the
President in person. Why he was
not detained at that time the police
have not explained as yet.
After the President had finished his
address and was leaving the capitol,
the stranger, leaving the place where
he was standing near the door to-
ward which Mr.. Wilson was directing
his steps, and going toward him,
suddenly dropped a small package,
wrapped in brown paper, which rolled
down the floor within a few feet in
front of the President, who stepped
back slightly.
Secret service men, attendant upon
the President, siezed the package
and threw it out through the open
door, while others grabbed the man
who dropped it. In the excitement the
package was not followed up, anc
later, when the police looked for il
outside it could not be found.
On being questioned Lezekel sale
1.-THE parcel contained nothing but
paper, and he asserted most strenu-
ously that it was dropped by ac.
cident purely.
The man is detained by the police
for further investigation; but it is
doubted whether there will be de-
veloped anything that will require
anything but temporary detention.
At the most he is considered a crank
who desired to acquire bit of
notorious publicity, and succeeded in
his effort.

ABSCONDER
CAPTURED IN
new ORLEANS

An investigation by agents of the
Mexican secret service developed that
the absconding paymaster, Carmelo
Garcia, whose robbery of The Mexi-
can Government of the sum of
100000 in American gold was noted
in these columns, had been driven to
Tucson in an automobile by Fran
cisco Carrasco, chauffer. From
Tucson he went west by rail, en- route
to Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Since that was known it is reported
that from San Fsancisco he went
across the continent, and has been
captured at New Orleans.
Further investigation by the Sc
cret service caused arrest of Mr..
Leonides Laariba, of the exchange c.
flee "La International" in Nogafes
Sonora, charged with having aided
the absconder, in exchanging for bank
notes the gold he had stolen.

CHICAGO, July TO- The testi-
mony of Colonel Mccormick, today
before the district court at Mount
Clemens, Mich, is in line with the re-
port of a special secret treaty be-
tween Japan and Germany, denied by
Japan, however, that was given out
at Washington yesterday, as having
been reported in press dispatch
from Budapest, quoting a dispatch
from Moscow.
The report was taken as a text by
Senator Lodge, who introduced into
the Senate a resolution requesting
the President to transmit to that
body a copy of the alleged treaty,
which was said to have become known
at Versailles while the, Peace Con-
ference was in session.
Yesterdays telegam from Wash
ington, embodying the story of the
alleged treaty, with he prompt
denial emanating from the Japanese
embassy seemed to have settled the
question; but this new information,
coming from another quarter, drawn
out by circumstances having no con-
nection with the other matter, has
aroused anew the interest in the Mos
cow-B Budapest story. The Japanese
denial, as given out at Washington,
characterized the story as German
propaganda. Colonel Mccormick

MONDELL CALLED
DOWN BYFELLOW
Rep UBL|CAN

WASHINGTON, July 10.-An ex-
ample of the inaccuracy of Republi-
can charges against Democratic war
administration, and the Irresponsible
ity of the accusers was offered in the
House of Representatives during the
debate over the conference report on
the army bill. The Democrats were
edited and the Republicans hu-
INFLATED at seeing the Republican
floor leader, Frank w. Mondell of
Wyoming, called to account for his
Ignorance or misstatements by the
Republican chairman of the Com
mittee on Military Affairs, julius
Kahn of California.
Mr.. Mondell arose with every,
very great regret to criticize this
conference report" but admitted it
was possible the Senate "does not
realize the determination of the
House to cut down appropriations to
tie sums absolutely necessary for the
proper TRANSACTION of the public bus1-
ness, including the army" He then
passed to his first downfall by say
ing that it probably now costs $4,000
per annum for each man under arms.
Mr.. Kahn pointed out that that
figure was for peace times and did
not include transportation costs con-
nected with the European war.
Saving "that is more or less a mat
ter of opinion" the Republican floor
leader proceeded to put his foot in it
again; this time asserting that 1--WE
have on hand today cloth and clothing
enough for a great part of the army
up to 100000 or 100000 men, and
underwear enough not only for an
army of 100000 but for an army of
a million or more" Whereupon MI.
Hahn again Scaled" his titular lead
Ell by saying that there is no clothing
on hand, and that the clothing al
lowance in the army bill for uniforms
for the DISCHARGED men, each of
whom receives two suits by reason of
recent act of Congress.
Mr.. Mondell sputtered and then at
tempted to reiterate his assertion in
directly.
More of MOndelrs "Facts"
will the gentleman kindly tell the
House where he gets his facts? ?" de-
manded Mr.. Kahn, amid applause
from both sides of the House. But
Mr.. Mondell shifted the issue by de-
claring that cloth on hand was the
same thing as clothing; but again he
had to stand correction.
"The gentleman knows that the
cloth in suit of clothes costs very
little" replied Mr.. Kahn. "The labor
of making up suit costs a grea,
deal, and we are making cloth into
uniforms to supply every soldier
That is what the clothing appropria-
tion is intended for, largely-that
and Shoes"
But Mr.. Mondell was not stopped
and continued, saying "that the ware
houses from one end of the country
to the other bursting with army sup
plies" Whereupon the pestiferously
accurate Mr.. Kahn cited War De-
partment figures as to subsistence
Then, having been flatly contradicted
to three members of his party on
practically everything he said, the
Republican floor leader sought to re.

program, though others of his party

TREATY IN
THESENATE
Omitted Press Service)

NOulICu IISoo OClNlCCJ
WASHINGTON, July 10. = In ac-
cordance with plans formulated be-
fore returning to America, Presi-
dent Wilson appeared in the Senate
today and laid before that body the
Peace Treaty, with the Covenant of
the League of Nations.
The galleries were crowded, and
House, having recessed, was given
seats on the floor of the Senate.
Mr.. Wilson was received with en-
thusiastic applause from the gall
leries, which We're also liberal in ap-
plauding the telling points of HIS
address.
In laying before the Senate the
historic instrument Mr.. Wilson de-
clared that "the Worlds moral lead
ership had been offered the United
States, and that the United States
cannot reject it without breaking the
heart of the World" The President
asked: "Shall we hesitate to accept
this great duty? Dare we reject it?
and break the Worlds heart? The
only question is whether we can re-
serve the moral leadership offered
us: whether we shall accept or re-
ject the confidence of the World"
Mr.. Wilson declared that without
the League of Nations the covenant
in the treaty would be but"a scrap of
paper"
The President opened the covenant
subject by asserting with the de-
claration that it was and is too great
for him to go into all the details and
all the cross currents of European
politics which the treaty makers en-
countered.
He paid glowing tribute to Amer
lean soldiers, to whom he gave all
the credit of the victory. He de-
clared they are 'men terrible in
battle but gentle and helpfll out Of
it."
Discussing the actual work of
making the treaty he saidf "old en-
tanglements stood in the way OF
peace. 1t was not easy to graft a
new order of ideas upon the old
Some fruits of the grating may,
fear, for a time, prove bitter"
"On the WHOLE" he declared
Europe welcomed American aid ir
treaty making as they welcomed the
American armies,, Emphatically he
declared that the treaty meets his
fourteen points. In view of Amer.
ica's part in the war, and in making
peace, the attitude of the world to.
ward Americas decision must be
made whether the United State;
continue the old policy of isolation
or continue under the League of Ma.
tions.
In "The task of maintaining new
order set up in the world Of civilized
men," observersbelieve the Presiden
was limiting that the United State
take the mandatory of the Leagu'
over some nation, when, toward tn,
end of the speech he declared tina
weak peoples everywhere stan'
ready to give us any authority anon,
them that will assure them friend
ly oversight and direction"
He said he would present tn
Anglo-American French defens1v
alliance at another time.
It took Mr.. Wilson thirty-nin
minutes to read his speech.

LEAD in NTERCLUB CLASH
Veterans Pick Away at the Delivery of Two
Rookie Pitchers, Pulling the Game
Out Under Fire
BY JOHN A. DUGAN.

North Augusta, S. c.. April g.
Griffith's Regulars increased their
lead in the inter-club series today
when they defeated the Yannigans
in the only game played at Warren
Fark by a 4-to-3 count. Base hit
ting was better than finished pitch
ing wings, as the veterans just
picked away at the deliveries of
Molly Craft and Eddie Matteson to-
gether in their total of fourteen
solid whacks while Adrian Lynch
and Uncle Nick Altrock were reach
ed for one-half dozen wallops each
while they were under fire.
The Yanns had the old ball game
tucked away in the final frame but
due to Davis, Agnew and Judge
old man Matteson was treated to 4
nightmare. Sensational fly catching
by the Milan brothers featured the
defensive play while Joe Shannon
halted perfectly good' batting
rally of the Yannigans in the lucky
session with a brilliant peg to the
plate on Ellerbe's drive which
caught Brown sliding over.
Craft started the pitching duties for
the Yannigans and got away without
much damage being done to his offer
ings until the third, when hits by
Foster, G. Milan and Shannon, along
with Shanks' sacrifice fly netted the
Veterans their first two tallies. Craft

things along but Captain George NC

REFEREES DECISION
UNFAIR TO AMERICAN

London. April 2.-The referees de-
cision which declared Jimmy Wilde
winner on points over Joe Lynch in
last nights battle at the National
Sporting Club was still the subject
of some adverse comment today
Even the little British fiyweights $
strongest supporters admitted the
best they had hoped for at the end
of the fight was a draw. The fact is
the American bantam won fourteen
of the fifteen rounds. The other was
fairly even. Lynch scored three times
as many points as Wilde and during
the last three rounds was smashing
the little Englishman about the ring
with both fists. Wilde was groggy,
but hung on.
The decision was based, IT was
said, on Lynch's "fouling," which
consisted of holding. Even I'm this
matter Wilde evened things up, for
toward the end of the bout he was
continually leaning on Lynch, who
repeatedly pushed him away. follow
ing up each push with clean blows.
After the decision had been given a
British army officer sought out the
correspondent and said:
Il wish to apologize to Americans
for such decision. I am sorry such
a thing could happen
