St. Louis Mans
Death Believed
Due to Accident
Tragedy in Wellington Inn
Here Thought, to Have Oc-
Cured During Cleaning of
Gun Supposedly Empty.

That and accident and not suicide
was the cause for the death of E. L.
Hess of St. Louis, whose body was
found in room 407 at the Yelling
ton inn yesterday afternoon, is ex-
pressed with certainty in a report
prepared by police last night
The body of the man, shot
through the heart, was found by F.
J. Ramey, manager of the Yelling
ton inn, at Sis when he broke in the
door to the room, after smelling
smoke in the hallway. On table
nearby lay a .38-caliber revolver with
one discharged cartridge in the
chamber and handkerchief passed
through the, trigger gnard. Smoke
was still pouring from the bullet
wound in the body.
. Mr.. Ramey summoned police, who
at first said they believed the man
had committed suicide, wrapping the
handkerchief about the gun to
deaden the sound Of the shot. Later
investigation, however, disclosed the
fact that the handkerchief evidently
had been used to clean the revolver.
According to Detective Graham
who, with Detective Franks and Of
ficer Sinclair, was called to the hotel
Immediately after the tragedy, the
rubber grips had been removed from
the revolver butt and several loaded
cartridges lay on the table. Other
equipment used for cleaning pur-
poses was strewn about the table, all
indicating the accident theory. 1t is

Steps Taken to
ReleaseCo
OF San Domingo
President Orders Withdrawal
OF Military Intervention Of
Republic Proclamation
Is Made Public.

Washington, Dec. 24.-By direc-
tion of the president, initial steps
were taken for withdrawal of Amer
ican control over affairs of the
Dominican republic.
A proclamation announcing this
purpose was issued at San Domingo
by, Rear Admiral Thomas Snowden,
military governor. Its text was made
public here. By its terms the
friendly purposes of American mill
tary Intervention in the island in
1916 are declared to be "substan-
tally achieved" and simple pro-
cesses" inaugurated for rapid with
drawal from the responsibilities as
sumed in connection with Dominican
affairs"
A Dominican commission, aided
by an American adviser, will be
named by Admiral Snowden to
formulate amendments to the Dom
inican constitution and draft new
election laws. When approved by
the military governor, these will be
submitted to constitutional conven-
ton and the Dominican national
congress as a preliminary to the
election of a Dominican government
to which the affairs of the republic
will be turned over.
An accompanying announcement
by the State department said tram
guilty prevailed in the republic;
that Dominican finances had been
placed ,on a stable basis; education
and sanitation advanced and the
people "for the FIRST time in many
years had been able to devote them
selves to peaceful pursuits"

Irreconcilables Il
Worriedby
Marion Reports
Runnrs Reach W ashington of
Change in Attitude of Hard
ing Toward Treaty and
Covenant.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
+ Washington, Dec. 24.-Presistent
reports are reaching the senate from
MAion to the effect that President
elect Harding has been persuaded
to return to, the idea of ratifying
the treaty of Versailles, including
the league of nations covenant, with
reservations clearly disentangling the
United States from all undesirable
obligations. This was the position
which Mr.. Harding took when the
treaty was last before the senate.
According 10 these reports, the
change of attitude by Senator Hard
ing has been brought about by his
conferences with such men as Ex-
President Taft, Elihu Root, Charles
Evans Hughes and Herbert Hoover,
who have gone to Marion by invi-
tation and emphasized to the presi-
dent-elect the serious difficulties that
would attend the discarding of the
Versailles treaty and the setting up
a new world association of nations.
r' lITcCOHClldDleS WoIIled.
These reports have been coming
in with such persistence, and from
such reliable sources as to produce
a disquieting effect ON the "irrecon-
cilables," who up to few days ago.
had given themselves no worry about
Mr., Harding's position since his
Des Moines speech last October
in which he declared he stood for
rejection of the treaty.
Many senator's who voted to rati-
fgy the treaty with the Lodge reser-
vations had taken it as an accepted
fact that Senator Harding would
not attempt to put the Versailles pact
through the senate in any form,
in view of his stand during the CAM
paign and the results of the election.
Will Fight Ratification,
The 'irreconci,ables' have been
Interested in Marion dispatches that
their opposition to the treaty is
about to collapse. They are anxious
to go along with" the new admin
istration in question of foreign pol4
ICY and they have not rushed into
print with indignant views, but they
have been emphatically plain that
they will not hesitate to combat
Mr.. Harding's leadership just as vig-
orously as they have Mr. VIII
sons, if he undertakes to have the
Versailles pact ratified!
They are confident that they will
be much stronger in the new SEN
ate than they were gast spring when
they succeeded in defeating the
treaty by narrow margin. A num-
Der of the senators-elect have de-
cided their opposition. Several
other senators who voted for rati-
fcation with reservations last spring
are now opposed to ratification in
any form. In this group are SEN
ators New of Indiana, and Freling-
huysen of New Jersey. two close
personal advisers of Mr.. Harding.
Senator Lodge himself is now re-
ported to be against ratification in
any form.

Children Of France
Send Christmas Toys
To Kiddes Of Aisne

Paris, Dec. 24.-Sixty tons Of toys,
donated by the children of France,
will be distributed in the devasted
Aisne and in Rheims by the league
oi officers and ex-soldiers of France
under the direction OF M. Binet-
A-almor. the French writer, and vice
president of the league.
The idea first occurred to NJ. Binet-
NaImor last year, when visiting the
ccnters of the American committee
Tor devasted France. and it was
through the aid of the camions OF
the committee that, AZ tons of toys
10000 packagesAwere transported
from Paris to the devasted area.
The first load. heavy with childish
happiness, left Paris December 6 in
an American cannon under the direc-
ton OF Lieutenant Pericard, remem-
bered for his rallying cry in French
trench where he was the only man
left standing.

Starvation to
End State of War
With D'An1lunzio
Soldiers Of Poet Have Settled
Down to Let Hunger Defeat
Plans to Resist Rapallo
Treaty.

London, Dec. 24.-Starvation is
expected soon to bring to an end
the state of war now existing
between the regency of Quarnero
at Fiume and the kingdom of
Italy. The 4S-hour time limit given
civilians to leave the city expired
at E o'clock last night, and it ap-
pears the Italian government troops
have settled down to wait for hum
ger to defeat d'Annunzio's plan to
combat the enforcement of the
treaty of Rapallo. One government
soldier is reported to have been
killed by bomb thrown by one
of the d'Annunzian legionaries. and
shots are said to have been fired
at an Italian destroyer, but thus far
the "war" has not been marked by
any notable hostilities.
A barrage of proclamations has
been hurled into the rival camps by
dAnnunzio and General Caviglia,
commander of the government
troops forming the Gordon about
iiu'iie. HeSe pIoIOuHCellleHtS nave
kept public interest centered, for
the time being at least. in the strange
situation that has developed on the
eastern shore of the Adriatic. DAN
nunzio's latest proclamation invites
the people of Fiume to sacrifice their
lives and fortunes in opposing the
carrying out of the RapalIo pact.
The people, however. do not seem
to be very anxious to follow his
advice. In spite of orders from the
poet-soldier forbidding anyone leav-
ing Fiume, several hundred persons
are said to have fled.
The fact that some Russian troops
formerly part of General Wran-
gels ARMY have been landed in Dal-
malta has caused apprehension in
some quarters that they might be
used to oust dAnnunzio from
tiume. 1t is asserted, however, that
there is no intention of using the
Russians for this PURPOSE

New Plan to
AidFar1ners
Head Of Farm Bureau Fedora.
ton Urges Opening of Rus
sian and German Mar
kets to u. S.
Hitchcock Presents Bill

Washington, Dec. 24.-Opening OF
the markets of Russia, Germany ana
other foreign countries to American
farm products through the handling
of securities of those nations by the
war finance corporation was sug-
gested by J. r. Howard. president OF
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton to the senate agriculture and
banking committees.
Mr.. Howard's plan, as outlined to
the committees i'll joint session:
would provide for the extension OF
credits, by having such securities as
foreign countries might be able TO
give for the purchase of American
farm products handled by the war
finance corporation, either through
selling them to American investors
or by issuing debentures based on
such securities. Mr.. Howard EN-
phasized that his plan did not in
volve putting the treasury behind
such credits
Suggests First Lien.
In the case of Germany, the Farm
Bureau Federation president sug-
gested that. the American credit be
made first lien on all the resources
and income of that country by taking
priority over the claims of the allies
for reparations. Such a step, he
said, would be possible under the
Versailles treaty and the only thing
necessary would be to obtain the
consent of the allied governments to
the making of such credit priority
over reparations.
The federal reserve board, through
Governor Harding, suggested to
Chairman Mclean of the banking
committee, introduction and consid-
Grafton of bill authorizing federal
land banks to make Greet loans to
the public for agricultural purposes
and authorizing the secretary OF the
treasury to deposit funds with these
banks. -YSuch measure, the board
said, would prove more effective for,
the purpose of making additional
credit available than bill permit
ting the treasury head to deposit
earnings of the federal reserve banks
as a special deposit to cover extern
sion of such credits.
Bill BY Hitchcock.
A bill of the latter nature has been
introduced by Senator Hitchcock,
democrat of Nebraska.
w. w. Brauer, New York, who
claims to represent the German
government with authority to secure
loan of S1OoO.0OO,0OO for the pur-
pose of buying American farm prod
ucts, was present in the committee
room but did not appear as wit
ness.
No date was set for another hear
ing by either committee, but men,
bers said that additional hearingt
might be held after the holidays.

Toronto, Ont, Dec. 24.-Charles

national council OF the Young Mems

statement replying to the charge
of the Vatican that the organiza-
ton 'corrupts the faith of youth"
I'VE have number OF Roman
Catholic members in ALMOST every
Y. M. c. A. branch in the Domif1-
ion and in some cases, as in Quebec,
the number amounts to a consid-
cradle portion of the membership,
but these members are free to use
only the facilities of the institution
they wish to.
THE religious program of the as
sociation Is entirely optional and
is not thrust upon those who, for
any reason, do not wish to avail
themselves of it. 1t is quite true
that the foundation of the Y. M. C..
A. is what is known as the evan
gelical Christian basis, but there is
nothing in our program aiming at
proselyting any who come into the
membership and who hold different
religious views"

Woman Convicted Of
Murder at Alliance
Asks for New Trial

= Alliance, Neb., Dec. 24-(Special
Telegram. )-Attorneys for Mrs.
Evelyn Preiss McElhaney, who was
convicted by jury last week on a
charge of second degree murder for
the killing of Earl Anderson, whom
she shot December 7. have filed a
thotion for new nial, alleging that
the jurors were unduly influenced
by spublic\ sentiment, which was
strongly against the woman during
the trial and that Judge w. H. West
over erred on each of the 81 points
in his instructions to the jury. The
application also alleged that the ver-
dict was not sustained by the evil
dence and takes exception to the
iebuttal testimony of Miss Mydia
Mike Verde, former partner of
Mrs. McElhaney in the Wilson
rooming house, who declared OH the
witness stand that Mrs. McElhaney
had a revolver in her pocket when
she left the rooming house.
Judge Westover will pass upon
the motion for a new trial when
he returns here 70 hold a Today
court session beg ming, January 10.
Shortly after beng taken back to
the county Jail following her con-
viction Mrs. McElhaney asked that
Bible be brought to her cell and
she has spent much of her time
reading the scriptures. A religious
meeting was held in the sheriff's
Office at her request. Her aged
mother, two sisters and a number
of friends attended the meeting.
Mrs. McElhaney was given to
weeping during the first few days
following her conviction, but now
is apparently resigned to her fate
and has made inquiries concerning
the kind of work assigned to women
at the state penftentiary.
