LEAGUE DRAFT
Congressman Reavis Thinks
Plan Will Be Ratified,
But Not in its Pres
ent Form.

Lincoln, May There are yet
some things in the league of ma
tions proposition which ought to be
changed, according to Congressman
c. F. Reavis of the First Nebraska
district, who was in Lincoln We'd
nesday on his way to Washington.
Mr.. Reavis is in favor of the
league idea, but he believes the
American people will not stand for
some things it contains. In DISCUSS
ing it today he said:
The plan will be ratified in some form,
but the draft. in my opinion. will have to
be changed materially. I do not regard
the matter as party proposition, for there
are as many prominent democratic sena-
tors opposing it as there are republicans
favoring it. Personally. I feel that II the
craftsmanship of the world doesn't capt.

International agreement that will minimize
the probabilities of war, then the states
manshp of the world has proven unequal
to the greatest opportunity of the ages.
The Monroe doctrine Should be more fully
protected in this document than it is. and
the United States should accept no manda-
tory outside of the western hemisphere
or beyond its sphere ,of influence.
President Wilson has been devoting him.
self too much to the theory of league
Of nations, and too little to the very i'm
portant matter of formulating peace terms,
according to Congressman Reavis. He be-
lieves too much time has been wasted
away at the Paris conference without COM
ing to any real desirable result.

VISIT OF SHAH
RECALLS THAT OF
HIS PREDECESSOR

LONDON. Dec. 3.-The shah OF
Persia. who is visiting England,
bears little resemblance, physically
or otherwise, to that other shah.
Nasr-ud din who came here in 1879
and again in 1879. and on both oc-
casions left behind him some not
particularly savory memories There
was little of the saint about him.
but he was picturesque and could
not be restricted 10 the bounds Of
English conventional responsibility.
Therefore the public of a generation
ago took a much keener interest
in him than LOndoners are doing in
the reigning shah
The latter is fat and placid does
everything that he is told TO do, new
ar upsets the programs that are
prepared for him and shocks no one.
In making a comparison between
the two the Star recalls some OF the
escapades of Nasr- ud--din when he
visited these shores.
During his 10 visit, il says. he de
manded 20 see a prize fight So aft
er a consultation with Lord Queens
berry a glove night was arranged for
his delectation in Buckingham pa
lace stables. AS usual the shah was
late. so the venue was changed 20 a
quiet spot i'm the corner Of the
palace gardens.
On his way. the shah dashed
through a room where deputation
OF bishops was waiting 10 see him TO
beseech his august protection for the
Christians in Persia They followed
him into the gardens and presently
found themselves in ring around
two prize fighters. The fight was
stopped; the shah waxed angry and
the good Lore Shaftes bury of pious
memory, who led the deputation. de-
nounced the holding of "a prize
night in the queens palace"
But things We're ultimately
smoothed over, though what the
shah said about the Christians i'm
Persia required a strong gloss in the
Interpretation.

of the board of public works, has
succeeded in keeping the Majority
OF the boards records up TO date.
For the past year the office Of tho
board has been occupied by work
men repairing the building and now
that the board has been moved into
its new office the room must still
be shared with the workmen. In
order to overcome this difficulty
Miss Sweeny has been obliged TO
work the majority of the evenings
and in this manner has succeeded
in keeping the records TO date.

In connection with the issuance
OF strike benefits. Mr Simms again
declared that the injunction extends
TO any person. whether or rot a
miner. who in any way encourages
the strike and said that banks
which honored checks drawn
against a strike benefit fund were
liable to prosecution
There was no indication Of what
action II any the government will
take. II officials OF the mine work
ers appear 20 answer the contempt
charges. II was pointed out that
there is no set penalty for contempt
Of court and that the Judge may
punish the miners. IL ne decides
they are guilty OF the charges. in
whatever way he thinks advisable.

bringing the proceedings. seeks to

the strike by the officials and de
prive The strikers OF leadership.

tion against the men named We'd

constitutes violation OF the injunc-
lion. and the government will pro-
coed on this theory, regardless of
whether officers are guilty Of some
specific act of encouragement Of
the strike.
The government waited patiently
while the conference was going on
in Washington. hoping that some
plan OF averting the impending dis
aster consequent on the shortage Of
fuel. would be evolved. After the
conference closed. the government
directed the operators TO reopen
their mines and advance wages IA
per cent. The government again
waited patiently for some action on
the part of the miners looking to-
ward resumption OF work. The Off
ciala not only failed to make any
efforts 20 bring about an end to
the strike but in numerous state
ments over the country encouraged
its continuance. During every mo-
ment of this period of waiting all
officers of the union have violated
the injunction and the government
has exhausted its patience"
