Nebraska Administration
Leader in Peace Treaty
Fight Joins Republicans in
Opposing Armenia Mandate.
WILSON'S MESSAGE
TO BE LAID ON TABLE
Foreign Relations Committee
To Take Up Question Today
Chief Executive May Call
Special Session on Issue.

Washington, May 26-Democratic
opposition developed today to Pres
ident Wilson's request to congress
for authority to accept a mandate
oyer Armenia. ....E
Hitchcock of Nebraska
administration leader in the peace
treaty fight, joined republicans op-
posing the measure, and there were
indications that other democrats
WI. q stand with him.
The meeting of the house foreign
affairs committee, called to obtain
the views of Secretary Colby, was
postponed because of the secretary's
inability to attend. but there were
many informal conferences by both
parties. at which members ex-
pressed strong objection to any pro-
posal which would send American
troops to Europe or Asia.
Chairman Porter indicated that
the presidents message would be
considered briefly and then laid on
the table. which would end it.
Legal Objections.
Inasmuch as the senate has failed
to ratify the treaty with its league
of nations covenant, republican
members of the house committee de-
clared there were objections to the
presidents proposal. They contended
that to accept a mandate would be
like doing indirectly what congress
had not permitted to be done
directly.
The house committee is not ex-
pected to meet until Friday, but the
senate foreign relations committee
probably will take up the mandate
question tomorrow. In the senate,
as in the house, the general desire
seemed to be to table it, although
there was the suggestion that the
president might call congress in
special session during the summer
for its consideration.
The president was asked in a res
olution introduced today by Repre-
sentative Mason, republican, Hi
nois, for full information as to the
's6ost and number of troops required
in connection with his mandate pro-
posal.
TAFT Against Mandate.
Aberdeen, Wash, May 26.-The
United States cannot undertake
mandate for Armenia under the
league of nations since this country
is not member of the league, ac-
cording to William Howard Taft,
former president, here today. Mr..
TAFT said he was not certain whether
the mandate should be undertaken
under any circumstances.
Mr.. Taft said he was inclined to
agree with w. ]. Bryan, who an
nounced his opposition to the man
date. He said, however, Armenia
should be helped because conditions
there were about as bad as they
CO I'D be, but that the mandate was
"open to discussion"
THE Armenian question" he said,
sis too complex to cay offhand
whether we should accept the man
date proposed by Mr. Wilson. | no.
tice that Mr.. Bryan is opposed to it
and l am inclined to think Mr..
Bryan is about right If President
Wilson had included Turkey in his
proposal perhaps / would favor the
suggestion. l understand mandate
for Armenia would mean the dis
patch of large part of Our army
to that country, entail heavy cost
and involve us in complications for
long time to come"

August Norietti and John Glacomoxxi,
charged with murder in the killing Of
the four miners at the Tomboy mine
were tried in San Miguel county and
found guilty ON circumstantial evil
dence, being sentenced to life impris-
cnment. The former was found guilty
in November 1919 and the latter in
May 1920. Both are now serving life
terms in Canon City. For the reason
that the entire community was comb
ed for jurymen last May, when Giaco-
mozzi was tried, during which time
several venires We're handed to the
sheriff, it is hardly believed that it
would be possible to secure jury in
San Miguel county. The further fact
that the case has been given wide pub
licity during the two previous trials,
has been talked Of and read about
thruout the country still
further strengthens the belief that it
would be difficult to secure jury.
