PUEBLO, Colo, Sept. 2S.-Senators who are opposing the league of na- tions are doing so because it gives labor too many rights, James C.

 These senators are not fighting the league because they think it will not prevent war" said MT, Bulger. They know it will prevent war. They are fighting it because they know that it contains provisions too favorable to labor-such as the right of free as- sembly They don't want labor to have too many rights"

"CH|N CH|N'' Is RARE ENTERTAINMENT AND
 PLEASES B|C HOUSES

Phoenix waited quite a while for Charles Dillingham's musical fantasy, but when the big show reached here yesterday afternoon for the first of three performances at the Elks thea ter. 1t proved to Be worth waiting for. Both the matinee and night perform ances Sunday played to capacity audi ences, every seat in the theater occu- pied by an interested and applauding patron.
 "Chih Chin" is all that Charles Dill ingharn and his publicity men claim for the show. It is filled to thu brim with comedy, music, fun. entertainment and features, enough for half dozen ordi- nary shows and with some to spare. Ivan Carylrs music assisted in a pro- auction that sent the big audience home satisfied that they had seen a first-class show.
 Walter Wills and Ro.- Binder are the premier funmakers of "Chin Chin" These two grotesque comedians danced and sang and clowned and buffooned their way through the three acts and seven big scenes of Chin Chin" while the people in the audience laughed until their sides ached. Wills in his Paderewski effort still had the people guessing when they started for home. These two clever funmaker3 were busy every minute they were on the stage, and they had few moments frest.
 The Tom Brown clown saxaphone band was the big hit it was expected to be. These six players could not give the audience enough of their music and fun. The show is full of features, toe many Ito describe in brief review It is certain that there will be a ca pacity audience tonight at the last per forma1ce in Phoenix.
 There is large company with a chorus of young and good looking girls who sing and dance unusually well The costuming is bright and new ano fin keeping with the stage settings. Tc sum it all up. Chin Chin" is a biz show and it pleased the Phoenix people who were fortunate enough to get in side the Elks theater. The last per. formance will be this evening.

 1t was learned that one man, Frank Clancy aged 20. had been killed, and two others, Frank Morasco and James Bords, were wounded.
 At 10 D. m. wo-thirds of the court house was in flames, which had reached the fourth floor. It is impossible to learn whether any of the 100 or more prisoners in the jail on the fifth floor had been removed.

 At this point a Barbara Fritchie ap- peareds at a window at the north end of the building in the person of an aged woman, who wildly flung Old Glory to the wind and appealed to the mob to desist. There were mingled cheers and hoots from the rioters who yelled for the prisoner whom they sought to lynch.

WILSON SAFELY
 BACK AT WHITE
 HOUSE; T0 TAKE . COMPILE REST
All Plans for Immediate Future Canceled-Leaves Bed to Greet Crowd - Condition Good as Could Be Expected, Says Dr. Grayson
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-President Wilson returned to Washington today from his interrupted tour for the peace treaty. He was able to walk through the railway station from his special train to a White House automobile, and was taken at once to the White House, where it was said there was little change in his condition.
 Leaving his bed virtually for the first time since his special train started homeward, Friday, from Wichita, Kan, the president walked unsupported and smiling through the railway station to a waiting automobile and later in the day took a two-hour motor ride through Rock Greek park. pr. Cray son, the presidents personal physician said his patients condition was as good as could be expected, though a period of rest from official cares would be es- Sential to complete recovery.
 Although he walked with an aggres- sive swing as he passed through the railway station, the president was feel ing some weakness, Dr. Grayson said from a bad nights rest while his special train was racing eastward. To' night he retired early after dining witt his family at the White House, and Dr. Grayson was hopeful of a refresh ing sleep.
 All of MT. Wilson's engagements fol the near future have been cancelet and his physician will insist upon z real vacation. No definite decision ha: been reached, whether he will remain | in seclusion at the White House ol go to some rest resort, but the indica | ks ,srwIA hot fl,a sAnv 1 would not leave the capital soon. After a run of nearly ten thousand miles, the presidential special reached Washington at 11:05 this morning Awaiting Mr. and Mrs. Wilson wheI they alighted from their private ca was Miss Margaret Wilson. the presi dents daughter. Outside the station he encountered the last of the man, crowds that greeted him on his 25-da. tour, and he was cheered as he walked through the station concourse. Helping Mrs. Wilson and Miss Margaret int the automobile, the president climbe' in beside them unassisted. During tn afternoon ride he was accompanied b, Mrs. Wilson and Dr. Grayson, who hal shared the task of caring for the presi dent aboard the train. The only for nal expression from pr. Grayson dur ing the day was a bulletin issued dur before the train arrived in Washing ton. It said:
 "The president had a poor night rest, but he is doing as well as coul
 be expected"
 Tentative plans depending on tn presidents condition are being mad for the postponement of King Albert visit to the White House until after hi tour of the country.
 It was said the kings visit would de Ipend upon the rapidity of the presi dents recovery.
