PEACE TREATY
DRAFT PLACED IN
WILSON'S HANDS
Supreme Council AdiournS
Until Monday Pending
Presidents Scrutiny
Of the TermS.-

Paris, March \15.-The supreme
war council resumed its sessions this
afternoon with distinguished array
of military and civilian chiefs, ex-
pecting that President Wilson would
be present for the final considera-
ton of the military, naval and aerial
terms of the German disarmament.
The president did not attend, how
ever, Colonel House taking his place,
as the draft of the terms in treaty
form had not been completed in
time to permit study before the
meeting. The president received the
tull draft late this afternoon and
went over it tonight article by ar
ticle with General Bliss and Admir-
al Benson at the Paris White House.
Further Delay Indicated.
With the president absent the
council deferred the military and
naval terms until Monday.
Mr.. Lloyd George left the coun-
Gil room soon after learning that
President Wilson. would not attend
and proceeded to the white House"
for ar. conference on the situation.
The inevitable delays on various
details led to doubts for the first
time in American quarters of COM
pleting the treaty by March Is as
was expected. 1t has developed that
Mr.. Lloyd George is obliged to re-
turn to London the middle of the
coming week and he is unable to say
how long he will be gone owing to
the British labor congress and other
subjects requiring his attention in
London. 1t is hoped that he will re-
turn within week or 10 days or
possibly turn over British interests
to Mr.. Balfour, but his absence may
have the effect of prolonging con-
clusion of the treaty beyond the
25th.
British for Speedy Action.
If President Wilson insists that
the league of nations be incorporated
in the preliminary peace treaty, the
British, it is understood, will concede
the point, although they still believe
that the preliminary pact is not the
proper place for the Inauguration Of
the league, which, they declare,
should be included in the final peace
pact.
This attitude was indicated today
after the announcement that the
American delegation strongly de-
sired the inclusion Of the league in
the preliminary treaty, as well as in
the final pact.
The British. it is made known, do
not wish to delay the league Of ma
tionssprogram in any way, but they
express the keenest desire for the
immediate signing Of the preliminary
peace treaty, 50 as to alleviate un-
satisfactory conditions resulting
from the continuation Of the armis-

Talk Cooperative Yard.
Though the Omaha Real Estate
board has not taken action concern
ing the cooperative building ma
terial and lumber yard contemplated
by individual members of the board,
w. R. Mcfarland, the president,
authorized a statement following a
report of the realtors proposed ac-
ton.
This matter has been discussed
by real estate men for four weeks.
Several of them who do considerable
building want real estate men and
other builders, to organize a coop
crative yard. They believe that
lumber prices here are from So to
50 a thousand too high, and that a
cooperative yard would eliminate
what they believe is an exorbitant
charge for lumber and other build
ing material.
"The growth of Omaha is now
being seriously hampered by high
prices of building material These
prices, they say, are preventing the
erection of hundreds of needed
houses and other buildings.
"Any movement which will tend
to lower building material prices
will do more than anything else at
present, to facilitate the growth Of
Omaha"

THINKS
POLICE SOON TO
find ASSAILANT
Chief of Detectives Believes
Officers Have Line on lden-
tity Of Negro Who At
tackled Mrs. GIaSSman.


Il expect to capture the assail-
ant of Mrs. Eleanor Glassman with
in "a hours" declared Captain of
Detectives John 7. Dunn, at a late
hour last night.
Captain Dunn has pressed every
available man on the department
into the case, and believes the cap
ture of the negro assaulter is inevi-
table. He stated last night that he
had definite information as to the
identity of the assailant, and has
men planted at stragetic points.
Thirty-five negroes were in Gus
tody last night, but according to the
captain none has been identified by
Mrs. Glassman. Three negroes are
said to resemble the man wanted, but
nonet had scratch on his face. Mrs.
Glassman told the police she in
flicted deep scratches on the face of
her assailant.
Resemble Other Cases.
According to police the Glassman
case resembles in many phases the
other four assault cases which have
occurred recently. In the case of
Mrs. Rose Wise, 1929 Tenth avenue,
Council Bluffs, which occurred
February 20, huge negro entered
the home while the husband was alb
sent, tied her hands and was fright
ened away only at the return of the
husband. Mrs. Glassman described
her assailant as being a large negro.
February 20, negro forced his
way into the home of Mrs. ]. w.
Cherrett, 1861 South Fifteenth street,
and fought Mrs. Cherett and her two
young children in an attempt to as
sault the mother. Two other like
cases have occurred. and the efforts
of the police to capture the lust-mad
negro has failed in every case.
Five weeks ago the Glassman
home was entered while the family
slept and a small amount of money
was stolen. Two other houses were
entered on the same night. At the
home of Charles A. Brown, 2527
Bristol street, which is only a few
houses from the Glassman residence
$500 in jewelry and money was
taken.
Theory of Robbery.
The Brown family was accus-
toned to rise early. On the morn
ing after the robbery they did moi
awaken till noon. Mr.. Brown be-
lieves that the thieves chloroformed
them while perpetrating the rob
