tion Favoring Legislation

The proposed legislation provides
that the president be authorized to
direct the attorney general, in the
name and behalf of the United States,
to file a bilSs in equity in the proper
district court of the United States
against any person or persons threat
ening to violate the rights of a citizen
or subject of a foreign country, Sc
cured to such citizen or subject by
treaty between the United States and
such foreign country; and that this
provision shall apply to acts threat
ened by state officers under the al
legged justification of law of the leg
islature of the state in which such
acts are to be committed"
In cases where aliens are brought
to trial in state courts for violation OF
state statutes, which are deemed by
the president to be contrary to the
rights of the defendant, the govern
ment,. under the proposed law. would
have power to file an intervening pc
tition for the transfer of the action to
federal court.

LODGE FIRM FOR
FOUR POINTS
Must Have Lodge Reservation On Ar
ticle 10, Monroe Doctrine, Equal
Voting and Right to Withdraw.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-No change
in the reservations affecting Article 10
of the league of nations covenant or
the Monroe doctrine provision of the
peace treaty will be acceptable to the
Republicans, Senator Lodge today in
formed Senator Hitchcock and other
members of the informal Democratic.
committee. which has been conferring
with Senator Lodges committee in an,
effort to reach a compromise on the
treaty.
There had been talk of open revolt,
involving such senators as Knox, Borah,
Brandegee and Sherman, if Mr. Lodge
weakened and talk veered around to
the possibility of an ultimatum being
served on the Republican leader.
While some senators say that they
are convinced the administration forces
will in the end accept the Lodge reser-
vations without change, it is pretty gen
orally believed that they are convinced
President Wilson would not, and under
such conditions would decide that the
treaty had been killed.
So far there is no definite information
that the administration senators will
join in program of ratification with
out the knowledge that President Will
son will find it possible to accept the
action which they take.
recanvass of the situation indi-
Gates that there are four points which
Senator Lodge and his Republican as
sociates are insisting must involve con-
cessions by the Democrats and the Pres
ident. These are:
First-Article X. as represented in
Lodge reservation No. ..
Second--Fhe Monroe Doctrine as, COW
cred by Lodge reservation No. 5.
Third-Equalization of voting as rep
resented by Lodge reservation No. IA.
Fourth-The right to withdraw from
the league as represented by Lodge res
ervation No. /.
Senator Lodge and the Republicans
in these conferences have insisted that
these four points represent the major
ity view of the senate.

PRICES.

After taking inventory, Emerson &
Son have decided to discontinue some of
their older stock patterns in dinner ware
rather than replenish at the present high
prices.
In order to close out these patterns
they are now selling them at remarkably
low prices. There are two patterns in
Syracuse China, one 9S-piece set at
S29.50, and l0l-piece set at $3.50. The
price of matchings being practically the
same as that of white ware.
Those having used Syracuse china will
realize that these are exceptional val

themselves Of this opportunity to get ac-
quainted with its beauty and durability.
They are also selling at a big discount

ALLIES STUDYING
REPLY TO HOLLAND
Legal Question the Most Important -
Germans Raise Question On Boun-
Diary Commission without u. S. A.

PARIS, Jan. 26.-The reply to the
refusal of the Dutch government to
comply with the demand of the allies
for the surrender of Former Emperor
William of Germany was the first sub
ject taken up at the initial meeting this
morning of the council of ambassadors
created to carry on the unsettled
routine work of the supreme council of
the peace conference which disbanded
last week. 1t was decided that the
French legal experts available should
go into all the aspects of the case and
prepare the reply which probably will
be submitted for approval of the coun-
ell at the beginning of next week.
The discussion in the council is not
disclosed by the members further than
that it appeared to be the view that
the legal phase of the question had
become the chief one.
The council had also before it note
from the German pienipotentiaries
raising certain points regarding the
makeup Of the boundary commission
provided for by the treaty The ques-
tions were raised by the Germans be-
cause of the non ratification of the
treaty by the United States and the con-
sequent lack of the American members
of the commission as provided for by
the peace document. The absence
of the Americans also raised question
as to the presidency of the commission
to control the plebiscite in the Tes-
chen territory and the Czecho- -Slovak-
Polish frontier

Supreme Court Says Salem
Has No Right to Refer
endum on Jitneys
GRANTING CHARTERS
NOT LEGISLATIVE ACT
So City Charter Does Not Provide for
Referendum On 1t - Petition Was
Made BY Street Car Employees =
Street Cars Still In Operation.

BOSTON, Jan 26.-The city of
Salem was enjoined from holding a city
election tomorrow to vote on the ques-
tion of granting licenses to motor buses.
In decision by Judge Crosby of the
supreme court today, the court ruled
that the action of the city council of
Salem in revoking iitncy licenses was
not measure within the scope of
the referendum provisions of the stat
utes of 1915 and for this reason an
election to pass on its action could not
legally be held.
The ground for this ruling, it was ex-
planned, lay in the fact that although
the city's charter provides that all or
ders Of the city council shall be sub
ject to referendum yet a bylaw passed
by the council subsequently gave it
exclusive right to grant licenses with
out approval by the mayor. As a re-
suit the granting of licenses became a
ministerial rather than a legislative act.
The courts decision came on a petit
tion by 10 employees of the Eastern
Massachusetts Street Railway Company
TO prevent tnc election. Inc company
claimed jitnev traffic constituted un-
fair competition. As a protest against
the continuance of this competition the
trustees withdrew their cars from the
streets on Dec IS, restoring service
after the city council revoked the jitney
licenses.
The motor bus men contending' that
this action was measure under
the hands of the city charter petitioned
for referendum to the people and
passed special election set for to-
morrow. Meantime the service was re-
sumed In further protest the Street
car trustees again suspended service
restoring cars three days later on orders
from Governor Coolidge that the troll
leys should be operated and jitneys
taken from the streets.

What Germany Wants.

The things which Germany most needs
in the way of raw material from us are
cotton, copper, hard steel, bronze,
graphite, asbestos, good lubrieating oil. In
addition, she needs about 100000, 900
worth of food to carry her through till
spring and give her workmen the energy
necessary for normal production. In any
explanation of the present German econo-
4nies, those items are fundamental. They
are the law and the prophets.
But, with regard to everything on that
list, and much that is not on it the capital
fact to remember is, first the German
needs, not little of these materials, but
enormous quantities of them; also that the
mark is rated so low she can't afford ever
small amounts of them.
Everyone in Germany who reasons al
all, knows perfectly well that Germany
existed only by means of overproduction
unless this peak of overproduction can bt
regained, 20,000,000 Germans have got t
leave Germany or starve. This is simpl,
question of calculation that can be showr
very easily.
