WILL ISSUE CALL COLD HAIR CLEW
Clemenceau, Not Wilson, to
Notify League Members.
President VIII, How.
ever, Send Formal Notice.

Paris, Jan. 3.-The supreme council
today authorized Premier Clemenceau
to issue a preliminary call for the
first meeting of the League of Nations
council. directing President Wilson to
issue formal call as soon as the
Versailles treaty became effective.
This call is regarded as simple
notification to enable the delegates to
reach the appointed place in Paris in
time for the meeting, formal notice
of which it is still intended to have
President Wilson issue according to
the present program
1t is pointed out in conference cir
cles that it is immaterial who issues
the informal call, and that even the
formal notice is a simple detail. The
issuance of the formal notice devolves
upon President Wilson by the provi-
sions of the treaty of Versailles. but 1t
is held that in case of his inability to
act in the matter any other repre-
sentative of one of the five principal
powers forming the executive council
of the league could issue the notice.

Renting Committee
Investigate Case
Chairman Shearer Is Called This
Morning to Help Tenant in
Renting Troubles.

The activity of the rent probing COM
mission was revived for short time
this morning when an appeal was
made to Chairman Shearer in regard
to case on South Exchange street.
The renter in this instance, although
she had been given several months
notice that the house would be wanted
June the 1st, sought the action Of the
commission or officials to help her stay
in the house until June 28th when she
has secured a lease on another dwell
ing. Chairman Shearer declared that
the case had already gone through the
courts; that the landlord was within
his rights, and that the commission
could do no more than urge him to
wait three weeks longer for occupancy.
Neighbors of the tenant insisted that
there was no cause for election and
it was thought probable that some
peaceable settlement of the case might
be made before evening. The case was
in court on Monday afternoon and on
the legality of the evidence the ten
ant was ordered to give possession inn
mediately. 1t was thought, however,
that the landlord might temper his
action with mercy and prevent throw
ing the family into the streets with
out place to go.

MASTER SEEKS
HIS HERO DOG
VIM. Creedon Offers Re
ward for Return Of Dog
that Saved His Life.
DEAD OR ALIVE

This ought to be doggone good
storyi
It has as its hero little gray mon
grel dog, who was worth so much to
his master, William Creedon, the
leather dealer on North Main street,
that the latter has offered a reward
for the return of the dog, now
"stIayed, dead or stolen" "Tll pay
for his return dead or alive" ex-
planned Mr.. Creedon, Monday afternoon
as he asked the police to help him
find his "hero-dog" and proceeded to
tell of how the dog had saved his life
only few days ago.
Awoke Him Just in Time.
"He may be just mongrel cur
explained the owner lamenting his
loss, "but with all that he is a mighty
fine dog and Pm not going to spare
any pains trying to find him. He's a
little gray dog you all know him
and answers to the name of "Snooks. +"
| think some one stole him, but maybe
he got killed.
Here's why | want him dead or
alive, though" he continued. "The
other night was sleeping in the
basement of the store. A water pipe
burst and slept on ignorant Of my
danger. But Shocks was on the job.
He found the water creeping up
around me and woke me up just in
time to keep me from big loss and
maybe saved my life"
"Snooks" was favorite with peo-
pie of the vicinity and his master is
afraid that some one has taken a
fancy to him and 1lured him away.
The dog has been gone since last Fri
day and Creedon is certain that he
would be back home if he was not
tied up somewhere or dead. He is
ready to admit that he will take no
chances with him and if he is returned
for the reward Shocks" will be chain
ed to prevent further wandering.

Bottles Valuable
Beer Worthless"
Zion City Has Last Big Pouring Of
Kenosha Beer on Monday and
Tuesday.

"The bottles are valuable but the
beer is worthless" So reads the ac-
count sent from Zion City of the last
big pouring of the Kenosha truck line
beer which started promptly at eight
o'clock Monday morning and is still
continuing in the Illinois border city.
Promptly Monday morning wagon
load of beer appeared in the alley
north of the Administration Building
in Zion and eight boys under the d.
rection of Assistant sChief of Police
Stried began emptying the bottles into
a wooden trough The bottles are in
verted into holes bored into a wooden
tray and the beer flows cut into the
trough and down into the manhole of
the sewer to trickle it's way to Lake
Michigan. The boys and muchly be-
whiskered man, who was jailed there
recently for swearing in public, are
working hard, but it is estimated that
it will take all day today to finish the
job.
An inventory Of the beer that is be-
ing spilled shows there are 554 cases
Of beer, BOT barrels, 5 kegs, 1882
twelve ounce bottles, 5,136 twenty
four ounce bottles, and five sacks Of
bottled beer.
1t will be remembered that the Zion
authorities we're active during the
month of August, 1919, raiding beer
trucks that tried to run the gauntlet
through Zion City. Several trucks
were seized under the direction Of
Theodore Forby, city attorney, and
Theodore Becker, chief of police. Com
stable Earl Casperson made most of
the seizures as he had power to arrest
outside the city limits.

Father Denied
Claim to Child
Lawrence E. Wilcox Loses Suit to
Gain Custody of Child
from His Wife.

In the municipal court here this
morning, Lawrence E. Wilcox, we'll
known farmer residing near Woods
stock, Illinois, lost his suit against
his wife Myrtle S. Wilcox, in which
he asked that he be granted the
custody of his four-year-old son, Will
liam Wilcox, who was given to the
mother in November following the
granting of divorce. Judge Tully
after hearing the evidence, refused to
modify the original order Of the
court, holding that the fathers actions
since the divorce had entitled him to
no changes whatever in the order.
The suit grew out of an alleged at
tempt on the part of the father to take
the child several weeks ago contrary to
court orders, failing in which the faith
er resc1ted to law to secure the boy.
The order of the court in November
stipulated that the father should be
allowed to visit. the children at rea-
sonable intervals, which the defendent
claimed had never been denied. It
was declared, however, that the father
had several times come to the home
of the wife with her parents in Wood
stock, for the purpose of making
trouble and it was one Of these times
when he is said to have attempted to
take the child away with him.
The father admitted that he had not
paid for the support Of the child since
the divorce and this. fact was taken
into consideration by Judge Tully in
deciding the case and confirming the
mothers custody Of the child. A
number Of people from the Woodstock
community were in the courtroom
this morning to hear the case.
