Rome, June 27.-The Italian
peace commission in Paris has been
authorized to sign the German
treaty. 1t is announced the new
delegation was expected to leave for
Paris Saturday. Empowering the
old delegation to sign, it is believed,
resulted from not wishing to delay

sailles.
Following Foreign Minister Tit
toms address before the senate, that
body voted "A to in favor of the
resolution, expressing confidence in
the new Italian peace delegates, and
firm hope that Italy's claims
would triumph. Triton declared the
new commission would not abandon
Italy's original claims. THE pro.
gram of the new peace delegation
does not include the abandonment of
the original claims" said Titton.

DON'T LIKE
KELLER
Witness Testifies That the
Ma n Plays the Young
Girls. Much Testimony
Given at Inquest.

That Lewis Keller, the high school
instructor, who is charged with the
murder of Ruby Pascoe, did not bear
the spotless reputation among all
people which the public has a right
to expect from the salaried instruc-
tor of the citys youth, became ap-
parent today at the coroner's inquest,
when the proprietor of the Nine Mile
roadhouse and the waiter in attend
ance, were coaxed into admitting that
they had never liked Keller. They
didn't like his way and his style. y
Pressed by questions of attorneys
to explain, the waiter, Otto Frank,
said, : He was always playing the
young girls, and that is what | don t
like. He was always asking for
strsng drink for the young girls.
The bartender and proprietor, Har-
ry Tidd, said Keller had in times
past asked him to slip a ''kick" into
supposedly soft" drinks.
But this was in the days before
prohibition came in. Now, of course,
it would be utterly impossible for
Keller or any one else to get strong
drink OF any imaginable brand at
the Nine Mile. Ginger ale and Eek
celso' was all that Keller and his
com panion imbibed on that round OF
the rDadhouses last Friday night

Germany, it is believed in some
quarters, is on the verge of coun-
ter revolution, possibly two. While
the present governments attention is
directed toward radical reyolts in
Hamburg and Berlin, it is thought
the 1oyalists in eastern territories
might seize the opportunity and at
tempt a restoration of the empire.
Success of either possible movement
is doubted here, but is admitted that
further internal disorders in Ger
many now would prove embarrass
ing to the allies.
What part the former crown prince
might play in the royalist counter
revolution, is a basis for considerable
speculation Although he is known
to be unpopular with majority of
the militarists, it is pointed out that
he, as the Hohenzollern heir, is the
most eligible candidate for the
throne, in the event that an attempt
will be made to restore the empire.
