Injection of League of Ma
tions Issue Into Political
Campaign Upsets All CaIcu-
Iations in Democratic Camp.
M'ADOO AND PALMER
GROOM FOR CONFLICT
Presidents Son-|n-LaW Play
ing Game Safe by Urging
Democrats to Send Unin-
structed Delegates.
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.


Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, March l0.--The pos
sibility that injection of the league
CT nations issue into the political
campaign, will cause President Will
son to reconsider his decision not
to become a candidate for a third
term has upset all calculations in
the democratic camp.
Attorney General Palmer is
earnestly seeking delegates with the
aid of large and well-hnanced or
ganization, which has opened head
quarters here, without any guaran-
tee that he will not be required to
step aside, possibly at the eleventh
hour, in favor of the president.
William G. McAdoo, the presi-
dents son-in-1aw, having the most
accurate information of Mr.. Will
sons intentions, has been playing
the game safe by urging the demo-
Gratis to send uninstructed delegates
to San Francisco, keeping himself
we'll to the fore the while as an ideal
choice if his father-in-law does not
feel impelled to take the nomina-
ton.
Champ Clark Speaks Out.
In letter declining to enter the
Georgia primary Champ Clark to-
day also came out in opposition to
instructed delegates and in favor of
all untrammeled convention, a nomi-
nation by which he makes it clear
he would accept. .....
But none of the democratic as
pirants will begin to get his political
bearings until the fate of the treaty
is decided and the president indi-
Gates definitely whether his candi-
dacy is open to consideration.
If the treaty should fail of rati-
fication there will be a good deal
of pressure brought to bear upon
Mr.. Wilson by democratic advo-
Gates of a league of nations to lead
the party because in their opinion
no other candidate could hope to
win on the issue of opposition to
reservations.
Friends of some of the present
aspirants are of the opinion that
Mr.. Wilson would be seriously
handicapped by the third term tradi-
tion in running even on an issue
of his own making, but the presi-
dent is tradition smasher and has
always held the people should be
at liberty to keep a president i'll
office as long as they desire.
Kenyon Backs Johnson.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa put the
treaty issue to the fore in announc-
ing today his support of Senator
Johnson for the republican nomina-
ton, despite the fact that Iowa
republicans probably will favor
Lowden in the convention.
"The president in his letter of
Monday has made the ISSUE" said
Senator Kenyon. 1T is article
10 and force under article 10. Let
that question go to the country.
Let the fight come. Let the demo-
Gratis nominate Woodrow Wilson
under the white flag of interna-
tionaism and the republicans
nominate Hiram Johnson under
the stars and strips of American
ism. That will be contest worth
while and there will be hardly
enough left of the Wilson party to
hold respectable coroner's in
quest"

PUPIL PAINTS PORTRAIT
OF RENOWNED FRANCK
d'indy, Disciple Of Famous Musician
Writes Interestingly In
Biography.

Vincent dIndy, pupil and disciple
OF Cesar Franck, in his biography OF
his master, paints this striking por-
trait:
physically, Franck was short
with a fine forehead. and Vivaclons
and honest expression, although MS
eyes were almost concealed under MS
bushy eyebrows: his nose was rather
large, and his chin receedd below
wide and extraordinarily expressive
mouth. Such was the outward ap-
pearance of the man we honored and
loved for twenty years: and-except
for the increasing whiteness or his
hair-he never altered till the day OF
his death. There was nothing In MS
appearance to reveal the conventional
artistic type, according to romance
or the legends of Montmartre. ANY
one who happened to meet this man In
the street, invariably in a hurry, In
yariably absent minded and making
Irimaces, running rather than walk
ing, dressed in an overcoat size 100
large and trousers a size TOO snort
for him, would never have suspected
the transformation that took place
when. seated at the piano. he ex-
planned or commented upon some fine
composition. or. with one hand to his
forehead and the other poised above
his stops, prepared the organ for one
of his great improvisatiops
Then he seemed to be surrounded
b. music as by a halo, and II was
only at such moments that we were
struck by the conscious will-power OF
mouth and chin, and the almost com
plete Identity OF the fine forehead
with that of the creator of the Ninth
symphony. Then, indeed, we felt
subjugated-almost awed by the
palpable presence OF the genius that
shone in the countcnance of the
highe st minded and noblest musician
that the nineteenth century has pro-
duced in France"

The general public loses sight OF
two import ant facts: the use of our

.PADEREWSKI MAY
RETURN TO MUSIC
Lovers OF His Art Hope He viii
Abandon Politics for
Piano.

George Palmer Putnam. Ia a letter
TO the New York Tribune OF recent
date. says:
Paderewski.
There probably is not a single name
more familiar to Americans at large
than that. Certainly no one else asso-
lated with the line arts is nearly 30
well known to the rank and tle a.
this extraordinary Pole who stepped
from an American piano stool TO the
premiership OF Europe's largest new
republic.
In 1914 Ignace Jan Paderewski
WAs acclaimed the worlds greatest
" cslthiest of all musicians. After
serving his fatherland throughout the
war as sort OF patriot at large, he
became premier OF Poland just year
ago. And now comes the news that
be has resigned and, presumably, VIII

On November IL Paderewski made
"a speech TO tho Diet which actually
marked the end OF his ministry. The

Diet, which is about so per cent of
peasant extraction, has from the out
set lacked n clear-cut majority party
the ministry having been sustained by
shifting amaIgamations of the various
groups. The final crash came when
the Peasant Party, comprising actu-
ally only a portion of the peasant
members, threw its votes to the Lett

practically one OF mo confidence"
HE has fulfilled his mission"
In a nutshell, that was the view or
tho Premievs opponents as voiced in
Warsaw.

ment by saying that while Paderew-
skis services had been invaluable

among the other nations, he alone
among Poles having a worldwide
name. the time OF such usefulness
had ended he was not equipped,
to conduct the business of internal
organization and administration.
Whether or not such criticism was
Justified it resulted in the Premiers
resignation. And whether or not any
one else could have done better, or
half as well, Is, of course, unanswer-
able.
And now the Premier has surren-
dcred the reins. Again. perhaps, he
will become/ pianist. The adventure
is ended, the chapter closed-unless
another as picturesque suddenly
opens; taste for politics and public
place, once acquired. is none too
readily cast aside. BE that as it may,
" hen the history of remade Europe
is written. the largest single measure
OF credit for the successful establish
ment of new Poland undoubtedly will
be accorded the musician-sta tesman,

some details Of the pogrom as given
out by the deputies.
Lukov was evacuated by the Boil
sheviki on Aug. 16 and the Poles en-
tered the town on thu next day. I'M
mediately a pogrom was organized
by the soldiers, in w,'I:ch the following
were killed: The banker Berish LIGHT,

81; others unknown. Rabbi Samuel
Brown was beaten until he was half
dead.
The victims, before they died,
pleaded that they be given recent
burial, which was done in some in
stances. no the road between Lukov
and Mezerech twelve Jews were
caught by the Polish guards and
murderously beaten, after which they
were ordered to do heavy work until
evening came, when command was
given that the Jews prepare their own
graves, into which they were shot by
the soldiers. The victims did not be-
long to any political parties antago-
nistic to Poland, but were old-fash-
Toned Orthodox Jews, and "tales" and
"tephilin" were found on each Of the
bodies.
In answer to the Interpolation, the
war minister admitted in the Diet
that a pogrom had been made by the
soldiers for the sole purpose Of aveng-
stances. On the road between Lukov
who were Bolshevik sympathizers.
The mister says that when the Bol-
sheviki entered Lukov, Jews kept
their stores open While Poles closed
theirs. As to the twelve murdered,
the minister says they were killed
when caught between the two fires Of
the opposing armies.
Renewing their Interpolation, the
deputies point out that the reply Of
the minister is prejudiced and untrue
to the facts and ask for new ivestiga-
ton.
