An hour after lunch, George strolled
over to his grandfather's. intending to

He did not carry out this intention,
however. Going into the big house By

the Major was upstairs In his bedroom,
that his sons Sydney and George were

CHAPTER x.

That night George began a jubilant
warfare upon his Aunt Fanny, OPEN
Ing the campaign upon his return
home at about eleven o'clock. Fanny
had retired, and was presumably
asleep, but George. on the way to his
own room, paused before her door,
and serenaded her in q full baritone {:

With my Independent air,
The people all declare.
He must be q millionaire!'
Oh, you hear them sigh, and wish to die,
And sec them wink the other eye

After breakfasting in bed, George
spent the next morning at his grand
fathers and did not encounter his
Aunt Fanny until lunch, when she
seemed to be ready for him.
"Thank you 50 much for the sere-
made. George r. she said. "Your poor

Rotary Refuses to
Commit Itself
on Arbitration

Salt Lake City, June 2O.-Resolu-
ton number 10, on the relationship
between employer and employees, was
adopted today, at the closing session
of the convention Of the International
Association of Rotary clubs, but that
part of the resolution which would
have pledged Rotary to compulsory
arbitration of economic questions was
eliminated.
: Albert S. Adams, of Atlanta, Ca,
was formally elected president Of the
organization and James S. Finley,
Chattanooga, was elected third vice
president.
The convention went on record as
favoring the promotions of effective
community service.

PALMER HURLS
BOMB AMONG
HIS ENEMIES
This is the Fear PrOfessed by
Republican Senator
Sherman.
INSINUATES WILSON
AND POPE IN PLOT
Opponent of Administration Iniects
Religious Question into the
Political Fight on Peace
League.

Washington, June 2O.-Attorney-
General Palmer, at the first public
hearing in the fight to prevent con-
firmation by the senate of his appoint
ment, turned sharply today upon his
accusers and bodily charged that they
were aligned with German interests
in concerted attempt to discredit
his administration as alien property
custodian.
During the year and half he was
in charge of the office, Mr.. Palmer,
declared he had been denounced by
every enemy alien and every friend
and attorney of every enemy in this
country, and that in Berlin, he was
characterized as the "official Ameri-
can pickpocket." Every friend of
the forty thousand aliens whose pro-
perty had been seized were attacking
him he said, because his organization
had seized enemy property and cap
tured the German industrial army in
the United States. 1t would be shown,
he told the committee, that the parti-
cular charges lodged against him were
not based on the ground that he had
sold enemy plants at too low price,
but that he had sold them to Ameri-
cans who had turned them to profita-
BILE account.
Will Drop Fight.
The bitter feeling that broke at the
beginning remained to the end, the
meeting closing abruptly and in dis
order, with the announcement by
Chairman Dillingham; that another
session would be held tomorrow to de-
termine the future procedure and sum-
mon witnesses, asked for by the COM
plainants. There was a strong be-
lief at the capital tonight that no
further hearings of consequence
wouRd be held and that the committee
would recommend confirmation of Mr.
Palmer's nomination.
The first evidence of bitterness was
displayed at the very outset when
Senator Walsh, democrat, of Montana,
charged Merton E. Lewis, former, at
torney general of New York, with de-
ceiving the committee last week
through failure to quote all of the
sections of the law bearing on the
right of the alien property custodian
to seize enemy property. Mr.. Lewis,
who is counsel for Harvey T. An
drews, the principal complainant,
frankly stated he had been in error
and that he had come prepared to
offer his apologies. Senator Walsh
retorted that while he accepted the
statement without reservation, Mr..
Lewis should realize that the COM
mittee hereafter could not rely on
anything he said.

ALTERATIONS IN
GERMAN TREATY
MAKE IT LONGER
Document Now Comprises 214
Pages, With 440
Articles.

Paris, June 19.-(Bythe Associated
Press 1.-The alterations and amend
ments incorporated by the council of
four in the revised treaty make it
a somewhat longer document than
the draft originally submitted to the
Germans and published in the United
States. 1t now comprises 214 pages,
five more than the original and even
this was effected by closer paging.
At various points the drafting COM
mittee sought to adhere as far as
possible to the original numbering
of the articles and contrived to make
up for the insertions or omissions by
combining or splitting articles.
AS at first arranged the new fn-
strument still contains theoriginal
fourteen parts and 44O articles.
The article assuring Silesian coal
and minerals to German industry now
reads:
Germans Get Coal.
"Poland undertakes to permit for
period of Is years the expectation
to Germany of the products Of mines
in any part of Upper Silesia trans
ferred to Poland, in accordance with
the present treaty, without export
duties or restrictions and permits the
Germans to purchase these products
on the same terms as the Poles"
In the revised draft "the princi pal
allied and associated powers, under
take to establish Dancing as a free
city. This language in which the
responsibility of the five great pow
ers for the creation of the new city
and state is definitely assumed, is
substituted for the original phraseol-
ogy declaring merely that "Danzing
is established as a free city,"
The new article which replaces the
original provision for the disarma-
ment of Germany number 1853 prov
iding for reduction to specified
point within two month now reads in
the English version:
Cup to the time at which Germany
is admitted as a member of the Lea
que of Nations the German army
shall not possess armament greater
than that fixed in the tables SUBJ
mitted in this treaty. and continues:
Germany agrees that after she
has become a member of the League
the ornaments fixed by the table
shall remain in force until modified
by the council of the league. Fur
thermore she hereby agrees strictly
to observe the recisions of the coun-
Gil in this respect.

COURT DENIES
Referendum ON
DRY AMENDMENT
Judge Hendricks Holds Ratifica-
ton Resolution is Not
an Act.

Little Rock, Ark, June 2O.-Cir-
cult Judge G.. w. Hendricks today
rendered decision to the effect that
the voters of Arkansas have not the
right to pass on the action of the re-
cent Arkansas legislature in ratify-
ing the prohibition amendment to the
federal constitution. He sustained
the demurrer of Attorney General
Arbuckle to the petition asking for a
referendum on the action of the leg
islature.
The case will be appealed to the
Arkansas supreme court at once.
Judge Hendricks ruled that the in
itiative and referendum amendment
to the Arkansas constitution clearly
distinguishes between acts of the leg
islature and resolutions adopted by
the legislature and that it makes no
provisions for referendum vote on
resolutions adopted.

(By the Associated Press.)

Rome, Thursday, June ia strike
of priests, which is without precedent,
has just occurred at Loreto, cele-
brated resort of pilgrims, whittier,
according to Legendary the house of
the Virgin at Nazareth, was miracul-
ously transported by angels in the
year 1894. The priests asked for an
amelioriation of their financial con-
dition owing to the hight cost of liv-
ing and when their claims were not
granted, they stopped celebrating
masses and performing other religious
luties.
Monsignor Andreoli, bishop of Re-
canati in whase diocese Loretta is loca-
ted, is intervening; personally in per-
suading the priests to resume their

FEDERATION OF
LABOR ENDORSES
PEACE LEAGUE
Organized Labor Approves Gov
enant, and Supports Espion-
age Act.

Atlantic City, June 20.-Organized
labor today endorsed the League of
Nations covenant and the labor pro-
visions it contains, which, according
to a cable message from President
Wilson, have been weakened, al
though not materially.
In giving it's approval by vote of
29,750 against 420, the reconstruction
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor made it clear that
nothing in the endorsement can be
construed as denying the right of
self-determination and freedom to
Ireland as recognized by this conven-
ton. An amendment containing the
Irish provision, was adopted unani-
mously.
Presidents Assurance.
The presidents cable, in reply to
one sent him by Samuel Gompers,
president of the federation, asking in
formation about changes reported in
press dispatches was:
"Your message came while l was in
Belgium and reached me too late to
full reply, but as ] indicated in an
earlier message, while the labor pro-
visions are somewhat weakened, it is
the opinion of friends of labor, and
my own opinion, that thew are not ma
terially weakened and that they will
constitute most serviceable Magma
Charto. Will cable labor provisions
but fear it will be too late for the
convention"
Both the messages were read to the
convention. A third message re-
ceived from the American peace dele
cation in Paris through the state de-
partment in which the changes made
in the labor provisions were enumer-
ated.
Upholds Espionage Act.
The Federation refused to ask for
the release of so-called political and
industrial prisoners convicted under
the espionage act and other war time
acts. Instead the federation adopted
modified resolution requesting that
those acts be rescinded with the for
NAL coming of peace.

REBUFF FROM
Cen. erwin
American Army Commander
Declines to Receive Villa
Plea.

Ell Paso, June 2O.-"I decline to
have any communication, whatsoever
with you or your pricipal," Brig
Gen. James B. Erwin, replied today
to communication received from
Gen. Felipe Angeles, commanding re-
garding the reason American troops
crossed the border last Sunday night.
A courier from General Angeles
camp near Samalayuca, 80 miles south
of the border today, delivered the
communication to General Erwin. 1t
was signed by General Angeles and
bore the seal of Villas revolutionary
government.
The reply was transmitted to Gen
Angeles by the same courier, who left
Immediately for the revolutionary
headquarters.
"There is but one government in
Mexico recognized by the United
States of America, and it appears that
you or your principals are in no way
connected with, 'or claim to be con-
nected with that government, which
is recognized by the United States OF
America" Gen Erwin's reply read.
Gen. Angeles based his request on
the. ground of the "proverbial spirit
of military comradship." He admitted
the revolutionary forces lacked the
international standing" entitled them
to carry on an interchange of COM
munication with a government.
The communication to General
Erwin recited that Gen Angeles had
been empowered by the revolution
airy troops of Chihuahua" and others
"who operate in connection with them
to arrive at an understanding through
channels worthy of confidence, re-
garding the motives which guided the
troops" which General Erwin hat
