WILSON. Will CALL .
FIRST LEAGUE COUNCIL
CIemenceau viii Issue Informal
Notification, Leaving Formal
Act for the President.

Paris.-Ambassador Wallace official
ly notified the Supreme Council that
President Wilson had agreed to con-
woke the first meeting of the Council of
the League of Nations.
1t was later announced that Premier
Clemenceau would issue the notice of
the first meeting of the council of the
league. AS soon as it can be ascer-
tanned when the treaty can be put into
effect NJ. Clemenceau will notify all the
powers concerned that on a certain day
d meeting of the council of the league
will be held in Paris and will request
the powers concerned to have their del
egates in the French capital on that
day.
The delegates once here and every
thing ready, President Wilson's call
will set the machinery in motion. SO,
If President Wilson had decided that
unless the senate had ratified the cove
nant by the time set he had no au-
thority to exercise the power vested
in him by the covenant of calling the
first meeting, it would have taken place
anyhow.
AS it has been explained authorita-
lively, "Clemenceau's call is informal;
Wilson's is formal 1t is also believed
that the allies have decided upon this
course to meet all the objections that
might; be raised in America or else
where 20 President Wilson's calling the

The first meeting of the council of

days after the treaty comes into eff
feet. When that will be is still mat
ter of conjecture The Supreme Coun-
Gil is able to make no progress be-
cause Berlin had not taken any of the
requisite actions to hasten the deposit
Of ratifications.
Although Baron Won Lersner, head
of the German delegation, assured Paul
Dutasta, Secretary genera. of the
peace conference, that the concessions
made by the allies in the Scapa Flow
terms would secure the Germans sign
ing of the protocol, Berlin has failed to
send any notice to that effect, and Won
Lersner will not sign it until he is au-
thoriZed to do so.
1t was reported that no progress had
been made in negotiations as to the
plebiscite arrangem ments, the German
delegates saying that the. had no Dow-
er to negotiate. Berlin will be asked

Tydings And Norris Win.


After much comforting and discus
sion, Democratic leaders at the Hotel
Rennert agreed that the slate for the
organization Of the Legislature should
be: .,s
Speaker of the House-Lieut.-Col.
Millard E. Tydings, of Hartford county.
President of the Senate-William l.
Norris, of Baltimore city.
Regarding the choice of Mr. Tydings
there was little difficulty. This trouble
consisted in allaying the Opposition
raised by the two other members Of
the Hartford county delegation. Messrs.
Coburn and Hopkins, backed by
Michael H. Fahey, of Havre de Grace,
who. was bitterly fighting the selection
of Colonel Tydings.
But regarding the selection of Sem
ator Norris there was much trouble,
due to the opposition of several of the
county members and alsoso Senator
George A. Frick, Of Baltimore city,
himself a candidate.
The discussions over the selection
for this place lasted so long that final
fy United States Senator John Walter
Smith, who had been keeping out OF
the fight, went to the Rennert in an
effort to smooth down the opposition
after Governor-elect Ritchie had done
all in his power in the effort to bring
about harmony. Senator Smith. it was
said was backing the judgment of the
Governor-elect in making a choice for
President Of the Senate, and his in
fuence was exerted to induce those OF
| his friends who were objecting to the
selection of Senator Norris to accept
it in. the interest of the new admin.
istration.
So much time was taken up with the
discussion of the candidates for
/ Speaker and President of the Senate
that there was little time left to take
up the making of a slate for the prin-
cipal places to be filled as a part of
| the Organization of the two houses.
Throughout the afternoon and even.
ing there was large crowd of Demo
Gratis at the Rennert, including county
leaders and members-elect of the two
houses.
AS far as the tentative selection OF
desk officers went it appeared that
Albert J.. Almoney, of Montgomery
| county; will be the chief clerk of the
new House, while Andrew Schaab, OF
| Howard county, was in the lead for
reading clerk of the Senate, a position
he held two years ago. Mr.. Almoney
now is a member of the Advisory
Board of Parole, but will resign as
soon as the new position is assured.
He has been chief clerk of the House
for several sessions but was displaced
two years ago by the. Republicans,
| then in control.

Robert Riaas Elected.

Robert Biggs, Democrat, was elected
Monday to the State Senate by the vot.
ers of the Second Legislative district
of Baltimore city He won by a ma
jority of 2,913 over his Republican op-
ponent, George w. Cameron, in a spe.
cial election made necessary by the
death of Senator Peter ]. Campbell.
The vote was light, only 16,499 bal.
lots being polled, of which Mr.. Biggs
received 9,706 and Mr.. Cameron 6,793.
Mr. Biggs lost one ward-the Thir
teenth-which gave majority against
him of 1873. In the November election
Peter Peck carried this ward over Sen
ator Campbell by majority of IA.
: - Considering the ffghtness of the
vote, compared with. that in the Camp
beH,. Peck fight, when 37,431 were
polled, giving Senator Campbell ma
jority of 3,007, the friends of Mr.. Biggs
found Considerable cause for congrat'
ulation in the figures. = He made his
best showing in the Ninth ward, where
he recsived 1859 votes to Mr.. Cam
eron's 1863. This ward gave Senator
Campbell 9,251 and Mr.. Peck 2,034.
He carried by 1,240 to ,1,102 the Fif
teenth ward, lost by Senator Camp
bell by 1928 to 3,486. He showed dis.
tinct proportional gains in the Seventh
and Twelfth. In the other three
wards the figures were closely proper.
toned to those tabulated in Novem.
ber.
Early in the day, when it seemed
evident that the vote would be light,
there was some aneasiness in Demo
cratic ranks, on the theory that the
district being normally Democratic,
the lighter the. vote the lighter the
majority for Mr.. Biggs. The short
ness of the time for preparation, and
the consequent lack of information as
to any undercurrents that might have
been at work, contributed to keep
something of this feeling alive
throughout the day.
The, law~-provides for the official
canvass of the vote on the Thursday
following the election. The question
whether Mr. Biggs will be permitted
to take.his seat and participate in the
formal part.of the selection of officers
for the. Senate when that body con-
venes Tuesday was under discussion.
Mr.. Biggs> issued the following state
ment;
"No one regretted more sincerely
than l the loss which the city of Bal
timore and the State Of Maryland sus-
tanned by the death Of Senator Camp
bell and "a very high honor has been
conferred upon me by the voters Of
the Second Legislative district in
electing me as his successor. l real
ize, of course, that 1 cannot bring to
the service of the city and the State
the ripe experience of Senator Camp
bell, but it will be my constant effort
to merit the confidence. which the vot-
ers in the district have shown in me.
