Harding said he was glad to have
Cox and Wilson express agreemeytl
on the league issue. He took the
view this would make the league fight
clear cut.
"The republican party wants the
country to know that it rejects all
these ill-considered commitments and
pledges its administration against

Harding also asserted heavy ara

these policies.

WOMAN IS SUICIDE

Il United Press Leased wire Service
CHICAGO, July 19.-Julius Jonas
brother-in-law of Leo Feist, New Yorl
| City music publisher, was near death
here today, the victim of clandes
tine love with Miss Pauline Meglitsch
thirty-six years old, who committed
suicide after shooting Jonas while
they were in her home here Sunday
morning.
I Jonas, early today, was reported in
a critical condition. The bullet Sc
;vered his optic nerve. Il
The suicide and attempted murder
was a reproduction of the Ruth Ran
dali tragedy here several months ago
"a rsi1ic1r ;iiflora a3iese sssfs st,sin bs
This soul mate because of waning
love.
He said he loved his wife and
family more than he did me and that
The was through with me-" Miss Meg
litsch explained in a note addressed
ito the public explaining her act.
Jonas left his home Saturday osten
Isibly on business trip to Kansas
City. He made a farewell visit to
Miss Meglitsch before train time. He
intended it to be his last visit. Jonas
explained today he was detained until
after train time and arranged to
spend the night in the Meglitsch
home.
He refused an invitation to the
girls room, sleeping in an adjoining
guest chamber. Early Sunday morn
ing, Pauline, clad in night gown,
came into his room, fired bullet into
his head, as he lay asleep and turned
the weapon on herself. Jonas out
cries aroused Pauline's sister, Helen
and her mother. They notified au-
thorities.
Mrs. Jonas kept vigil over her hus-
band all last night.
"Of course we viii stand by my
husband" she said. ''He has been
good to u.s."
Before he was taken to the operat-
ing room, she gave him her forgive
ness.
Jonas and his wife were recently
reconciled after Mrs. Jonas sued for
separate maintenance, naming Pau
line
The clandestine love began several
years ago, according to authorities,
when Jonas and Miss Meglitsch were
employed of the Wolff clothing com
pany in st. Louis, Mo-
Pauline Meglitsch was an "intel
lectual," according to her family.
She attended ethical lectures, and
such books as Savage Survivals''
and Social Sanity" held prominent
places in her little library. She con
tinually jotted down her thoughts.
"Eetigion is the opium of mankind, :"
showed the trend of these notes.
Miss Megiitsch characterized Jonas
marriage as ''just formal arrange.
ment to bring forth children"
In her letter to the public, Pauline
said:
''I know that everybody will con-
denim me for what / am about to do.
The mental strain is driving me mad.
I know that tonight is the last night
because mother has refused to allow
Mr. Jonas to call here any more
Mrs. Jonas is always bounding
him. Mrs. Jonas would not consent
to a divorce, but Mr.. Jonas said we
should continue to keep company, as
his wife might die and he would
marry me the next day. It is not an
honorable way and cannot go on any
longer"

| MARION. Ohio, July 19.-The
treaty of Versailles and the league of
nations were scored as involving a
mistakenly plighted relationship of
the United States to Europe" by War
rem G. Harding, presidential nominee,
/ in another attack on the democratic
administration foreign policy today.
A preliminary treaty should have
been made Immediately after the arm
iistice in 1913 and the question of a
league of nations should have been
considered later and Independently of
the treaty. Senator Harding indicated.
Harding's statement, the third with
/ in week regarding the league, fol-
flows on the heels Of the announce
ment from WASHINGTON that Governor
+ Ccx is Ia Gsss1 ], Ion 4 harasony with
President Wilson'S foreign policy. 1t
was prompted by a statement by Col
tonel House, formerly the presidents
confidential adviser who asserted that
just after the armistice the suggestion
was made in Paris that the allies at
once make a preliminary peace with
Germany based upon broad lines.
Harding's statement said:
I'VE are beginning to understand
the mistakenly plighted relationship
,of the United States to Europe just
IN time to proceed to referendum
Iintelligently. The one representative
!of this country other than the presi-
dent who best knew the whole situ-
alton at Paris was Colonel House.
He tells how in cabled statement
from London the suggestion Of a pre-
liminary peace treaty was made very
soon after the armistice and that such
a treaty could have been made before
Christmas, 1919.
"All along this has been the repub-
lican conception of what ought to
have been done, but this is the first
official knowledge that Europe wished
such a ISocedure and was deferred by
us in expediting peace. The authen-
tic relation is interesting at the mo-
ment when it is announced that the
continuation of democratic admins
tration means a continuation of the
history of the foreign policy which
has so grievously disappointed both
Europe and America"
