No Mention Of Jap Question.

Paris, April 12.-With the single
exception of the amendment specifi-
cally eXempting the Monroe doctrine
from being affected by the covenant.
no vital change was made by the
league of nations commission in that
document in its meetings on Thursday
and Friday nights. Last nights meet
ing marked the conclusion OF the con-
sideratiOn of the covenant.
Last nights discussion lasted four
hours, President Wilson attending the
session and remaining until it closed,
after midnight. NO date was set for
a plenary session of the peace con-
ference to consider the covenant.
The covenant as the committee left
it did not include any section granting
Japan's request for the recognition of
Japan's racial equality, and neither
was a section introduced covering the
request of France for an international
military general staff. Both Japan
and France announced \that they re-
served the right to bring up the
they desired before a ple-
nary session of the conference
AS it now stands, the covenant con-
tains twenty sections.

BELIEVED HEADED
TOWARD DENVER


Pueblo, Colo, April 12.--The two
men who yesterday afternoon shot
and killed e. C. Parks of Pueblo and
William Hunter Rye and escaped in
an automobile in which the two men
were driving, doubled back to Pu-
eblo, stole an automobile from a
corner in the business district some
time about 10 o'clock last night and
are headed toward Denver.
This information was received by
the police department here shortly af-
ter o'clock this evening when l.. F.
Williams of Pueblo, arrived in Pueblo
from trip northeast of Pueblo,
where he encountered two men in a
small automobile answering the de-
scription of the automobile stolen
last night and driven by two men who
also answered the descriptions of the
two men who shot and killed Parks
and Hunter.
As Williems approached along the
road behind the two men in the small
car, a man in the rear seat rose and
drew gun on williams. Williams
slowed down but the man with the
gun continued to point 1t toward him
until the small car had passed out of
sight. Williams declares that the man
with the revolver was dressed in
khaki colored overalls and the man
driving wore blue serge suit. This
description answers that of the two
men who killed Parks and Hunter
yesterday. The small automobile was
described by Williams and the de-
scription tallies with that of one that
was stolen last night

HAvENER To Be
EXONERAT TED BY
INQUIRY BOARD
lay MORNING JOURNAL spee,AL LEASED WIRE,

Des Moines, Ia, April l2.-Im
peaehment of Governor w. l.. Hard
ing and exoneration of Attorney Gem
eral II. M. Havner in connection with
charges growing out of their activi-
ties in the Rathbun pardon case will
be recommended TO the Iowa house
of representatives next week by it's
judiciary committee.
The committee, which last night
voted to recommend impeachment
of the governor, decided late today
that the e~idan1 WIS not sufficient
to sustain charges of misconduct
against the attorney general. The
committee report probably will be
given the house Tuesday.
Considerable discussion resulted on
the question of recommending Gems
ure for Havner, but it was finally vot-
ed down, 81 to o.
During the committees investiga-
tion of the Rathbun pardon, Havner
was charged with consenting to the
quashing of certain indictments when
young Rathbun agreed to go to Ana
mosa reformatOry to serve his life
sentence for criminal assault
The committee will recommend
Governor Harding's impeachment on
the grounds, it IS understood that he
did not thoroughly investigate the
case when the application for pardon
was made, and then, when he found
fraud had been practiced upon him,
he did not do his utmost to revoke
the pardon.

PRESIDENT INSISTS FOURTEEN
POINTS MUST BE PEACE BASIS

duty lies plain before the conference.
Stands by Fourteen Points.
This duty he regards as being suf-
ficiently defined by the fourteen
points. His attitude is that peace must
be based on the fourteen principles
laid down in that document which
has been accepted by the allies and by
Germany.
He declines to permit the issues to
be clouded Each question is to be
measured anew in the light of these
precepts. and those questions that
fall outside the prescribed limits are
to be dropped from further considera-
tion.
If France or other participants in
the conference decline to assent to
this method he will not submit to
further representation, but will
withdraw, taking with him the entire
American delegation. But if there
shall be cessation of bargaining and
false pretenses he will see the thing
through.
He believes that to permit narrow

He has declined to be satisfied with

stance. Should there be a continual

The covenant does not affect the
validity of international engagements,
such as treaties of arbitration or re-
gional understandings like the Mon

tons, a state may withdraw from the
league on giving two years notice

from amendments approved by all the
states bH lle tuulltll ana Il majority

French Much Displeased.

Paris April 12.-Three hundred
members of the French chamber of
deputies have signed a manifesto, as
sociating themselves with the resolu-
tions adopted Thursday ty the mem
bers of the senate, in which hope was
expressed that full restitution would
be exacted from the enemy and that
the fun cost of the war would be i'm
posed "on those responsible for the
greatest crime of history" The reso-
luton said that the senators insisted
y bat the peace treaty. and the league
of nations provide legal and territo-
rial guarantees of sufficient strength
to prevent future wars
This is taken by many observers, in
Guiding Fench newspapers as anoth-
er sign of the growing discomfort with
the peace conference and its work.
The French press also is apparently
discontented over the results of the
last two meetings of the league of
nations commission.
"PertinaX," writing in the Echo de
Paris, warns the council of four that
the parliaments in London, Paris and
Washington, not to speak of others,
will not accept "a peace treaty blind

Declares That the Time for

Pris, April 12.-The league of ma
tions commission has rejected the
Japanese amendment on racial equal
ity. according to an authoritative
statement issued tonight.
Some of the members of the com
mission voted against the specific in
clusion of this amendment in the
covenant and, as unanimous approval
of the commission was necessary, the
amendment, which was strongly urged
by the japanese delegates, failed of
adoption.
The statement follows:
at a meeting of the league of ma
tions' commission on Friday, April IL,
the japanese delegation proposed an
amendment to the preamble of the
covenant as follows:
ITO insert after the words by the
prescription of open just and honora'
bic relations between nations an ad-
ditional clause to read: by the en-
dorsement of the principle of equality
of nations and just treatment of their
nationals
THE amendment was admirably
presented by Baron Maxine In the
course of his speech he emphasized
the great desire of the Japanese gov
ernment and that of the Japanese
peaple that such principle be recoss.
nized in the covenant. His argument
was supported with great force by
Viscount Chnda. ...........
"A discussion followed in which
practically all of the members of the
commission participated. The discus
sion was marked by breadth Of
thought, free and sympathetic ex-
change of opinion, and a complete ap-
probation by the members of the
commission of the difficulties which
lay in the way of either accepting or
rejecting the amendment.
"The commission was impressed by
the justice of the japanese claim and
hv the spirit in which it was present
ed. Mention was frequently made in
the course of the discussion of the
fact that the covenant provided for
the representation of Japan on the
executive council as one of the five
great powers and that rejection of
the proposed amendment could not
therefore be construed as diminishing
the prestige of Japan.
Various members of the commits
sion, however, felt that they could not
vote for its specific inclusion in the

Washington, April 12.--Enforce-
ment of war time prohibition. which
becomes effective July /, is not lodged
with the internal revenue bureau or
with any other government agency,
but is merely left to the United States
attorneys. Revenue Commissioner
Daniel c. Roper declared today after
analysis of all statutes and regula-
tions.
Intimation that because of the ap-
parent difficulty of enforcement the
president or congress might be called
on to postpone the laws operation
was given by Mr.. Roper in state
ment saying that "the issuing of Ii
censes for the manufacture prohibited
by the war time prohibition act will
naturally cease with July /, assuming
of course, that neither the president
nor the congress stays the operation
of that law
In this connection it became known
today that number of administration
officers and advisers of the president
had recently urged him to prevent
prohibition from going into effect
July /. by proclaiming the completion
of rehabilitation by that time. This
group is understood to include Com
missioner Roper, who is represented
as believing prohibition cannot be en-
forced adequately without specific
legislation establishing an enforce
ment agency.
After explaining in statement that
congress had failed to pass bills au-
thorizing administration of the war
time prohibition provision of the ag-
ricultural bill approved last November
81, Mr.. Roper said:
Left Up to Attorneys.
Enforcement of the prohibition
contained in the act therefore is not
placed with the commissioner of in
ternal revenue or lodged anywhere In
the government, but is naturally left
to the United States attorneys to en-
