HARTFORD, Conn, May IL
The state park commission has the
authority to take over the former
home Of Mark Twain Samuel L.

by the noted humorist at his home
here. The movement to preserve
the house and grounds as a mon
ument to the author was started
by the Connecticut Society of Ar
lists, after it was announced that
two real estate men intended to
remodel the place into an apart
ment house. The Hartford Courant
actively took up the campaign.
The real estate men were report
ed to have purchased the property
for $4,000. When asked to sell
they wanted 100000. Gov. Hol-
comb. in @ recent address, declared

SENATOR REEDFOR

President Wilson's position on the
league Of nations issue was assai.ed
again today in the Senate by Senator
Reed. democrat, Missouri. who also came
out in support Of the republican peace
resolution.
With a vote on the peac, measure
set for tomorrow at o'clock, Sena-
tor Reed opened debate today with a
long assault on the stand taken by the
President and Senator Hitchcock Of Ne
braska. the administration spokesman
The Presidents demand in his tele-
gram to Oregon democrats. which. Sena-
tor Reed said, was for unqualified rati-
fication of the treaty of Versailles, was
denounced by the Missouri senator as
most autocratic and despotic."

That the nation is pledged" as
contended by Senator Hitchcock. to
the league OF nations because Of the
Presidents address to Congress in out
lining his fourteen points. was denied
by Senator Reed. The contention of
Senator Hitchcock that there is a
pledge" on the league question, sena-
tor Reed said. would apply the doc
trine of estoppel to the American peo-
pie.
His position is that II the Presi-
dent makes a speech suggesting a
league of nations" said Mr.. Reed.
''ahd members of Congress applauds
this speech. the country is thereby
committed and bound to ac-
cept not only a league but any kind
of league the President chooses to
present"
Deploring Senator Hitchcock's al
legged attempt to minimize the peace
resolution, Senator Reed said 1t had
produced CONSERVATION among "busi-
ness buccaneers looking with greedy
eyes on foreign enterprises" under
the league. and also disappointed Eu-
ropean statesmen, who. Mr.. Reed
said, hoped to have the heavy bur-
den of the Armenians taken by
America.
Held Pledge to Germany.
Referring to the Presidents state
ment in the Oregon telegram that he
was authorized by the allies in ar

to enforce was a pledge to Germany.
"And yet the President, from Wash

tor Reed added.
Mr.. Reed also referred to the Presi-

FRICTION is DENIED

confidential information in his testi-
mony before the Senate committee

Herbert Hoover, testifying before
the Senate labor committee on the
broad question of industrial peace. de.
clared that Industrial conferences
with employers on one side and em
ployes on the other contained "a con-
siderable percentage OF extremists,
and the different views between the
two left little hope Of arriving at con-
structive results"
What was needed, he said, was the
more moderate view. He did not be.

taken.

experience we have gained in recent
years."
Public Opinion workable.

dents industrial conference on collec-
tive bargaining, Mr.. Hoover said pub
lie opinion was the only pressure to
be brought to make it workable.
There are some things which un-

Is not an agreement as to employment
on either side. Collective bargaining
cannot stand If there is to be a con-
slant violation of confidence.
Doubts Success Of Kansas Law.

something of benefit to the entire
country, but that his own view was
that 1t could not succeed.
In preliminary statement Chair

called to it, but it never was sent to
Congress by the President" Members
Of Congress believed. he said. that in
time of Industrial peace problems
could be worked out better than in
times of strikes. The issue now. he
added, was what Congress could do.
