nicipal court this morning when he was
released on the motion Of the District
ATTORNEY without being called upon
to plead to the Indictment. Facts in
the hands of the District Attorney
clearly indicated that Schill was not
guilty of the charges brought against
him and the District Attorney declin-
ed to demand that Schill bring wit
nesses into court to sustain the alibi
which had been proposed by the de-
PENDANT.
Turnkey Finds the Facts.
Turnkey Peter Schulien of the Coun-
ty jail was directed by the District
Attorney to go to Milwaukee on Tues
day and investigate the story of Schill.
The turnkey found that every state
ment made by Schill was true. He
found that on the morning that the
robbery took place Schill was at st.
Bernard S Home in Milwaukee and
that he had been there during the
night and was there in the early
morning. The men in charge of the
home told the Kenosha official that
they were ready to come to Kerosha
in answer to telephone call and
testify to their knowledge of the where
abouts of the defendant on the night
of the alleged burglary. "He came
here early in the evening of the 18th
of November and he remained with

Wilson Letter
Urges Democrats
To Stand Firm
nv Associated Press !

Washington, D. c., Nov. ia letter
from President Wilson, advising admin
istration senators to vote against rati-
fication of the treaty with the Foreign
Relations Committee reservation, was
laid before a conference of the admin
istration senate forces today by Demo
cratic Leader Hitchcock.
"The committee program, the Pres
ident wrote, "would provide not for
ratification, but rather for the nullifca-
ton of the treaty" The conference
had been called to decide upon the final
administration tactics in the fight for
ratification which is expected to come
to an end today or tomorrow. After
the President s letter was read, there
were indications that unless a compro-
mise could be effected the administra-
tion senators would line up almost
solidly against ratification. The Presi-
dents letter, addressed to Senator
Hitchcock and dated yesterday follows:
My dear Senator:-You were good
enough to bring me word that the Dem
ocratic senator's supporting the treaty
expected to hold a conference before
the final votes on the Lodge resolution
of ratification and that they would be
glad to receive a word of counsel from
me.
Does Not Provide Ratification.
81 should hesitate to offer it in any
detail but assume that the senators
only desire my judgment upon the all
important question of the final vote on
the resolution containing the many res
ervations Of Senator Lodge. On that !
cannot hesitate for in my opinion the
resolution in that form does not provide
for ratification but rather for the multi
fication Of the treaty. I sincerely hope
that the friends and supporters of the
treaty will vote against the Lodge res
oluton of ratification.
II understand that the door will
probably then be open for a genuine
resolution of ratification.
90 trust that all true friends of the
treaty will refuse to support the Lodge
resolution.
Cordially and sincerely your, Wood
row Wilson"
The PresidentD reference to an OPP
portunity to votd on. "genuine ratif-
cation resolution" referred to the plans
of the Democrats to get action on an
unreserved resolution after they had
voted down the Lodge proposal. That
plan apparently has been blocked, how
ever, by the decision of the mild reserv-
alton Republicans to stand with Repub-
Lcan Leader Lodge against providing
such an opportunity.
