league of nations, Governor Cox had
spoken Of the suffering and misery
in Russia, Germany, Austria and
other European nations and said that
things would start toward normal as
soon as definite indemnity had been
fixed for Germany to pay. England
and France, he asserted. were di-
vided upon the amount of indemnity
and it would require the votes of
America to decide the controversy.
'I may surprise you," Governor
Cox said, 'when I say that the peo-
pie all over Germany are hoping and
praying that the voice Of America
will be asserted in the international
affairs of the world and that America
will cast the deciding vote and deter
mine what the indemnity At to
be-
"Will Be League"
DR.. Watkins declared the league of
nations should not have been made
part of the peace treaty, but, he
asserted, "the time is at hand for a
real, not nominal nor pretended
league of nations He declared
there will be league of nations and
that the United States will be party
to it, adding, "n1ark that prophecy
and the politicians can not prevent
it. 1t only remains a question Of what
kind of league aud what shall be our
attitude towards it; but the league
when it takes it's final form, will be
made in time of peace, and not be
used as club to be waved over the
heads of legislators to compel action
on treaty designed to end present
conditions and bring peace for the
time being"
Governor Coxis declaration regard
ing the league follows in part:
cit has been proposed that the ma
tions of the earth take a pledge. Why,
I remember when l was a mere boy
we used to take a pledge and wear a
little blue ribbon. The pledge be-
came a moral restraint and it was
helpful. There isn't person IN my
presence but who knows that If there
had been delay of the hot flash of
temper at the beginning of 1914
there would not have been world
war at all. We are not for an Eng
lish league. We are for the world
league of nations. What will be the
result of it? The indemnity will be
fixed. Germany will 60 to work,
France will 60 to work, exchange will
be readjusted. You will find mar
ket for your surplus product. We will
stop expending hundreds of millions
of dollars for battleships and can
non. We will reduce war taxes, be-
cause of the econmies effected. We
will justify the faith of our fathers
and we will have demeaned ourselves

 tain for the body of man who is be- lieved to have been murdered as re-
 suit of a quarrel at a card party that
 was held in the woods several nights ago.
 Two small boys, sons of S. P. saulter of Dallas, reported they had found the
 body of a man lying under pile of
 brush in rocky recess in the mountain
 several days ago. The father of the boys. says he forgot to report the mat
 ter to the police and immediately after
 he did close search failed to reveal | the body.
 There are two theories, one that the boys found a man who was so dead drunk that he could not get up when ] they tried to awaken him, and the other
 that they found body that was moved | away by the murderer after 1t became
 known that the hiding place of the body
 had been discovered.
 i There are enough Tnissin gmen in 1 Dallas and the eastern part of the city to justify a full search be made.

Paris, Sept. 22.-The Irish Sim
Fein republic has been recognized"
by the mayor at Versailles but the
recognized is in danger of losing his
job.
1t happened in the course of re-
cent centenary celebration. Among
the foreigners who placed wreaths
end delivered speeches before the
statue of General Hoche was an en-
yoy from a country which has been
mentioned quite frequently in dis
patches lately as the de jure' Irish
republic, The mayor replied with
great enthusiasm to the Sim Feiner's
Grafton, lauding the new republic" :"
which has grown out of the war.
The British embassy at Paris pro-
tested to the Quai d'Orsay and the
mayor has been asked to brush up
in his geography and explain how it
happens that he is unaware that Ire
land is still a part Of the friendly
British Empire.

The National Tidende's special cor.
respondent at Antwerp charges that
all games were umpired with a bias
in favor Of the allies. Typical in this
respect, the correspondent says, was
the sword combat between Denmark
and Italy. All experts were agreed,

WOULD GIVE MAYOR BIG
FEE TO LAND CONTRACT

The st. Petersburg Independent
says:
An offer Of $1,000 as commission
was made to Mayor Mitchell to land
the contract with the city for Spica's
band to play concerts here this sea-
son. The offer was made in letter
from A. W. Spica, head Of the musi-
cal organization which bears his
name. Mayor Mitchell made the let
ter public as he said he was not do
ing business for the city In secret.
Spica wanted to get the contract
to furnish music in Williams park
this winter. He had previously writ
ten to several persons here and to
the Board OF Trade He wrote again
to Mayor Mitchell the letter arriving
today. Spica proposed to pay Mayor
Mitchell a commission of $1,000 II
the mayor succeeded in landing the
contract with the city. From the tone
of the letter one would gather that
the writer thought the matter Of hir-
ing band for the season was In con-
troll Of the mayor, In part, at least.
THAT does not look good to me-
said Mayor Mitchell, this morning.
II am not going to do, as the man
asked me to do, keep quiet about It.
He said in the letter that the COM
mission was to be confidential be-
tween us but | want the public to
know that band was willing to. pay
81 200 for the chance to furnish win
ter concerts in st. Petersburg. I will
write that there is nothing doing in
this Office In the line Of slipping a
commission to the mayor.
The contract for music to be given
in Williams park this winter has been
awarded to Webber, of Cincinnati, and
that famous band will be here for IL
weeks. The contract for band to
play here was let by the advertising
and library board and the mayor has
nothing at all to do with making the
contract for a band. Several well
known bands sought the contract to
furnish music for the winter In this
city but the Cincinnati band was Sc
lected as the best for the money.
