TO Get JAPS IN?.
That Is Presidents ExpIana-
ton of Shantung Affair.
Senate Committee Favorably
Reports 8 League Resolutions.

Washington, July 14.-The senate
foreign relations committee. beginning
consideration today of the peace
treaty, reported three minor resolu-
tions bearing on the Versailles nego-
tiations but took no action on the
question of asking President Wilson
to take part in committee discussion
of the treaty.
The resolution reported would call
upon the president and the state de-
partment for information regarding an
alleged secret treaty between Japan
and Germany; regarding protest said
to have been made by General Bliss,
Secretary Lansing and Henry White
against Shantung settlement; why
Costa Rica was not permitted" to
sign the peace treaty.
Members of the foreign relations
committee said practically all of the
two hours meeting was taken up with
consideration of these resolutions and
that there was no discussion as to in
viting the president to meet with the
committee or of the proposal to con-
slider separately the peace terms and
the league of nations covenant. De-
tailed discussions of the treaty prob
ably will begin when the committee
meets again tomorrow.
While the committee was in session,
President Wilson discussed various
phases of the treaty particularly the
Shantung settlement with senators
who called at the White House, On
this point it was said the president
pointed out that necessarily the Amer
lean peace commissioners could not
impose their complete will on ethe
peace conference and were compelled
to accept some things in the treaty
which they personally disappEoved.
The president also was said to have
explained that consideration had to be
given the treaty between the allies and
Japan made before the United States
entered the war. by which the material
German interests in Shantung were
pledged to Japan.
The president was said to have told
his visitors that the treaty did not give
tung and in kiao Chau, but only econ
omic rights which would terminate in
sixty or seventy years.
Japan's delegates at Versailles, the
president was said to have told his
callers, were instructed not to sign the
treaty unless the Japanese allied treaty
provisions regarding Shantung were
adhered to
The president also was represented
as having expressed the view that it
was eXpedient to yield on Shantung
in order to have Japan as a member
of the league of nations.
Immediately after the committee
of the treaty began in the senate, SEN
ator Swanson, of Virginia, a Demo-
cratic member of the committee, OPEN
ing with speech praising the league
covenant as the only possible plan for
preserving world tranquility

House Fails in Attempt To Pass
Daylight Saving Repeater.
Lacks 23 Votes of TwO-Thirds
Needed To Override Wilson.
REPEAL NOW A DEAD ISSUE
Agriculture Bill Referred Back
to COmmittee-Vote 247 to 1856.
No Effort VIII Be Made Now
To Pass Separate Measure.

Washington. July 1.-THE attempt
to override the presidents veto on the
daylight saving repeal failed in the
house today.
Opponents of daylight saving lacked
2S votes of the two-thirds necessary to
pass the measure over the presidents
veto.
The final vote on the agricultural
bill to which the repeater was n rider
was 247 for to las against with one
member voting present.
After the vote the bill was referred
to the agricultural committee. 1t
probably will be reported to the house
late today minus the rider.
Democratic Leaders Clark and
kitchin, as well as many other Demo-
Gratis. voted against the president, m
Speaker Gillett announced the re-
suit amid the applause of supporters
of the daylight saving law. Because of
the house action, the senate will not
have the opportunity to attempt pas

political lines, the proponents of the
repeal being those representing agrl-
cultural districts.
The repeater now becomes a dead
issue. 1t is said no effort will be made
to pass 1t as separate bill. 4~

friend Willard at Lawrence" said
Jack, but 1 guess he was too busy
on his farm to get down. oh. yes,
Jess and 1 are on the best of terms.
He's a clean-cut, square fighter, and
I'm for him strong"
Dempsey didn't seem to be any the
worse for wear on account of his
Fourth of July bout at Toledo.
Going To See Mother.
The champion had quite a chat with
Tom King, city passenger agent of the
Santa Fe.
I'm going out to Los Angeles" he
said, "and then back to Salt Lake City
to see my mother. 1 want to put my
feet under her dining room table once
more. These expensive hotel and din
ing car meals are all right, but the
high salaried chefs don't know how to
cook like my mother does"
Dempsey said that he would try and
spend more time in Topeka on his
next visit.
II really want to see the capital of
the state that raises wheat and prize
fighters" said Jack. as he stepped on
the platform of his compartment car,
Il always did like Kansas. If any
of you fellows see Jess Willard give
him my best regards. One of these
days I'm going to call on Jess and help
him with the plowing."
One of the men in the crowd sug-
gested that Dempsey might not make
a successful pl0w-jockey.
You don't know me-" replied the
fighter with a grin, as the train started
on, IN bet 1 can even show Jess q.
thing or two about the plow. I haven't
been in the ring all my life, you
know"

WET MOVE FAILS
Rep. IgOe, Missouri, Tries To
Force Vote in House.
Amendment Urging Repeal Is
Ruled Out of Order.

Washington, July 14.-An attempt
to force a vote on repeal of wartime
prohibition failed today in the house.
On a point of order raised by Chair
man Volstead, of the judiciary COM
mittee, an amendment to the pending
prohibition enforcement bill pro-
posed by Representative Igoe, Demo-
crat, Missouri, was ruled out of order.
Indications that President Wilson
may soon take a hand in the prohibit
tion enforcement question were seen
today in visit of Internal Revenue
Commissioner Roper to the White
House.
Roper favors the plan of a prohi-
bition commissioner, but does not
want enforcement to be part of the
duties of his bureau. He is under
stood to have told the president this.
Another prohibition development
was a statement by Wayne B. Wheel
er. general counsel for the Anti-Sa-
loon league, that unless congress de-
fines Intoxicating liquor the enforce
ment code will be useless in making
the eighteenth amendment effective.
The senate subcommittee consid-
ering prohibition today began framing
enforcement legislation.
Members of the committee said the
brewers argument that 2.75 per cent
beer is not intoxicating would have no
weight with them.
Anti Saloon league representatives
were to appear before the committee
later in the day in a final summing
UP of arguments. The committee was
to go into executive session imme-
dia ately afterward and revise the en-
forcement bill for presentation to the
senate.
The senate committee was consider
ing a measure virtually Identical with
Nn1Sfoad int In
the house. Many changes were ex-
pected, largely in phraseology and in
sections relating to permits and ex-
ceptions which permit use of alcohol

of approximately thirty per cent in the
number of sufferers from delirium
tremens IN Chicago is shown in the
report of the city workhouse for the
first two weeks of July. as compared
with a similar period of last year.
Seventy-five cases of delirium tre-
mems were received at the hospital of
the Bridewell from July first. when
wartime p. ohibition went into effect,
to today as against sixty during the
same period a year ago. Hospital
authorities attributed this unusual in
crease to a sudden stoppage of the sale
of liquors. and to the fact that ha
bitual drinkers have sought to quench
their thirst with substitutes.
