WILSON SAYS SENATE
WILL RAT|FY TREATY
President Supremely Con
fdent Body Will Garry
Out His Wishes.
INTERNATIONAL NEWS sERvIcEi

WASHINGTON, July l0.-The senate
Will ratify the peace treaty in the opin-
ION of President Wilson. He made this
very plain today in his talk with the
newspaper correspondents, the first that
he has had since the United States en-
tered the war.
The president also made It plain that
with the ratification of the treaty by the
German national assembly at Weimar
the blockade of Germany automatically
came to an end. From now on Germany
Will be allowed to trade freely under the
system of credits that have been adopted
BY the supreme economic council.
The president was in an unusually
happy frame of mind and seemed su-
premely confident that the work Of the
Paris peace conference would be fully
satisfactory 70 the people of the United
states. While it is not permitted 70
quote what he said there was no doubt
OF the impression that he left with the
cores pondents to whom he talked freely
and frankly He declined TO answer
number of purely Hypothetical questions
dealing with what might happen when
the lea que OF nations actually is organ
lied. However. he insisted that the
senate would ratify the treaty and it
was very Ilain that he expects the ratih-
cation TO include the original document
which ne presented to the senate later
in the day and without the inclusion Of
any reservations.

importance of Economic CIau-
SeS In u. S. Treaty With
Germany.

STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. n. SERVfcEl
tCopJrSghs, 1919 by the 7. ". Service.)
WASHINGTON, July 10.-Sev-
en- subjects are dealt with in the
economic clauses of TIE treaty
with Germany. They include
every problem that has grown out
OF the war. Outstanding, however,
is the fact that the American
economic experts refused to make
the United States party to an arbi-
trary division of indemnities or of
seized property.
Instead, the United States is the
only nation subscribing to the
treaty which reserved to its law
making body -congress-the right
to dispose of all property acquired
from Germany. As a result the
American Lusitania claims, and
the claims gowing out of the sink
ings of American merchantmen, as
we'll as the claims resulting from
the submarine raids off the At
lantic coast by German submarines
can be adjusted by congress itself.
HERE ARE ECONOMIC SECTIONS.
The seven subjects dealt with in the
economic sections of the treaty are as
follows:
First-Commercia1 relations between
the allied and associated powers on the
one hand and Germany on the other
hand, including matters relating TO ma
tionality expectation and importation
and property rights Of nations OF the
allied and associated governments in
Germany.
Second-Treaty relations with Ger
many; how they are to be resumed. etc.
Third-The adjustment Of debts
among nationals of the allied and asso-
ciated powers on the one hand and Ger
man nationals on the other.
Fourth-The disposition Of private
property which has been sequestered in
the allied and associated countries and
IN Germany.
Fifth-The legal effect and the ad-
1ustnent of contracts concluded prior
70 the war between nationals of the
allied and associated powers on the
ono hand and German nations on The
other.
Sixth--A mixed arbitral tribunal to
pass upon claims against Germany for
property injured or seized in Germany
and to function in connection with the
adjustment of debts.
seventh-Rights in relation to indus
trial property and literary and artistic

tilNES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL
INDlANAFOiiS July 10. Local
attorneys have raised the question as
TO the righ. of a judge. on a plea of
guilty by first degree murderer. to
determine without a jury whether the
murderer should be sentenced to death
or to prison for life.
The question came up in connec-
ton with the action Of Judge Martin
". Smith. of the Lake county criminal
cuort. who recently sentenced to death
on a plea OF guilty of first degree
murder Albert Bachelor Thomas
Bachelor. Harry Parker and Daniel
Trkulja and sentenced to life impris-
onment Lee Spears and Jan Bierlich.
They killed Herman Uecker. cashier
of the First State Bank OF Tolleston
a suburb of Gary.
Judge James A. Collision OF the Mar
ion county criminal court said it Is his
opinion that no man can be sentenced
10 die unless the sentence has bsen
pronounced by jury OF twelve men.
L is an invasion Of a mans eonstitu-
tional rights for Judge to attempt 10
pronounce such sentence. he said.
Il will not accept g plea OF guilty
in first degree murder case" said
Judge Collins. The supreme court
has held as late as 1903 that a jury
must be the only tribunal imposing
the death penalty"
Attorney-Generais Ofice.
without committing itself TO final
decision. the attorney generals office
said that under the bill Of rights and
the wording Of the revised statutes Of
ASST such a question might have been
raised but that under the revised
statutes Of 1905 it was unlikely that
such a question could be raised
An old supreme court decision based
on the 1881 statutes held that Judge
had no such right. hut 1t appeared to
some who have investigated that the
basis of the early supreme court de-
cision has been removed by the revi-
sion of 1905.
It was said that any change OF SEN
tence in the cases OF the Gary men
now would have to come either by o
change OF sentence by the Judge him
self or by a direct appeal to the su
preme court.
The law provides that a person con-
victed OF first degree murder may be
sentenced to death or to life imprls-
onment for life Some construe the
law to mean that a jury alone can
decide which the sentence should be.
N the Gary case the judge acted on
plea of guilty.
