WASHINGTON, y. c.. July 2s.-The

made public:
UNITED STATES SENATE.
July IS. 1919.
Hon. Charles Evans Hughes,
80 Broadway
New York City.
My dear Judge Highes -
Many OF us in the Senate are IN
favor OF having the United states
enter League Of Nations provided
that in doing so we do not sacrifice
the sovereignty or traditional policies
OF our country. We believe that the
.proposed covenant for a League OF Ma
tlons In the Peace Treaty now before
the senate does make such a sacrifice.
Rather than take the Covenant as II
now stands, / am very certain that
considerably more than One-third OF
the Senate would refuse 90 ratify the
Treaty altogether. As far as | am
personally concerned ! do not want TO
see this happen and do want to see
some plan devised whereby the United
States may safely enter the League OF
Nations. 10 has seemed TO some or us
that this result could he best accom-
plished by attaching certain reserva-
tions 10 the proposed Covenant which
would limit the participation by the
United states In the League. | shall

opinion as 10 the validity Of such res

CITY MELTS TODAY
UNDER HOT SUN

Wilmington men who are busy dur
ing the week would welcome a chance
at the city swimming pools on a hot
Sunday like yesterday.
Some men questioned today were in
favor Of restricting such Sunday use to
the men, while others thought the
boys ought to have a Sunday chance.
They said many boys were endan-
gered by swimming in the Christlana
on Sundays without efficient help al
hand for emergencies.
Il would mean extra help needed at
the city pools, as those in charge are
kept busy enough six days in the week
10 be entitled to a rest on Sunday.
Monday is always the busiest day at
the city swimming pools. Today they
were crowded TO capacity with people
seeking relief from the heat.
Wilmington woke up yesterday morn
ing. at least those who were able to
sleep at all through the heat Of sat
urday> night woke up, to a realization
that there was only one thing to be
done yesterday. That. was to try TO
keep alive through the burning day.
The babies trotted around bare-arm-
ed and bare-legged, while their elders
looked on enviously, sorry that the
law wished so many clothes upon
grown folks. The citizens debated
whether It would be cooler TO stay at
home in shirt sleeves and kimonos. or
whether the lower temperatures OF
parks would overcome the handicap Of
additional clothing.

proper precautions. The child killed,

tributory negligence as the child was
not old enough to be responsible. The
prisoner he ruled. was guilty OF negli-
