PEACEPACTM MAY
co TO CONGRESS
President Wilson Said to Favor
ResubmissiOn Of Treaty With
Special Message.

Washington, Dec. s. UNITED
Press -President Wilson is con-
sidering re-submitting the treaty to
congress. sending with it special
message on the subject of Americas
foreign relations, it was intimated
in administration quarters today.
The information that this might
be done came from officials who yes
terday declared Wilson was not con-
templating such a step.
The text of the treaty is still in
the presidents hands. where it was
sent when rejected by the senate
the last time, according to officials
here. He is therefore in a position
to reSubmit it any time he sees fit
The president is said to believe
that recent developments at the
Geneva meeting of the League of
Nations assembly may make the
league covenant more acceptable to
the senate than it has been here
tofore.
Two developments mentioned to-
day as likely to influence mild res
ervation senators were the interpre-
tation that article 10 did not bind
league members to guarantee the
integrity of other members, and the
action Of Denmark in refusing to
lend troops to the league until
such action was approved by the
Danish parliament.
1t was the belief of league sup
porters that the article 10 interpre-
tations net objections of league OPP
ponents and that the Danish action
showed clearly that America would
not have to lend troops to the
league unless congress approved,
League opponents, however, have
pointed out that acting under article
II, the league had interviewed in the
Polish-Lithuanian dispute and sent
troops to China. Senate leaders said
that the treaty would not be acted
on this session, even though re-
submitted. Democratic senate lead
ers have indicated to the president
that they do not believes such a
course advisable.

ICON CON" meet
BREAKS IN ROW
Chicago ownstate Fight ReOpens
With Added Bitterness Over
Cook County Judgeship.

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 8.-The con-
stitutional convention broke up in
row at l O'Clock this afternoon.
when Chicago delegates found
downstate leaders intent upon hold
ing Cook county to single judge
on the supreme court bench, in
stead of giving them two.
Charges Of bad faith were thrown
across the floor at Henry l. Green
Of Urbana, who led the downstate
debate last week, which resulted in
defeat Of the Chicago proposal that
the supreme court be increased
from seven to nine judges, and that
Chicago get three of the nine. An
alleged compromise carried.
Delegate Abel Davis of Chicago
produced the convention debates in
an attempt to show that Mr.. Green
had promised upon the success of
his fight that he would be for a re-
districting of the state, and the
granting of two justices of the
seven to Chicago. Green denied it.
When other Chicago delegates
joined with Mr.. Davis to reproach
the Urbana delegate, President
Woodward obtained motion to re-
cess and ended the session.
Recess was taken until D. m.
ReOpens Fight.
This re-opened the Chicago-down-
state fight with added bitterness.
Threats Of final desertion of the
convention by Chicago delegates
were renewed, which at caucus
last night, were believed to have
been temporarily pacified.
Other sections of the judicial ar
ticle were adopted this morning
giving the governor power to ap-
point all judges for Cook county
upon recommendation of the SUI
preme court. This section was car
ried viva voce, with approval of
most Chicago men,. Another pro-
posal offered by Delegate Gee OF
Lawrenceville, was adopted. II
provides that no Judge in Illinois
shall practice law while holding his
judicial Office.
Two attempts to prevent enact
ment of primary law in Illinois
were defeated.
