sault on the resolution. The house
acted yesterday, the vote being 263 g
50. q
The signing of the measure BY the
President will open the way for the
resumption of diplomatic relations
with both Germany and Austria, but
administration officers have indicated
that plans for this have not been
worked out.
All opponents Of the resolution
were Democrats, but three Demo
Gratis, Shields of Tennessee, Walsh 81
Massachusetts and Watson q
Georgia, voted with Republicans tor
adoption. Senator Reed, Democrat
of Missouri, was paired in its favor.
Senators Walsh of Montana and
Pomerene of Ohio, Democrats, criti-
cised the measure at length. Senator
Walsh reiterated that it violated the
armistice terms by holding German
property until all American claims
should be settled. Senator Pomerene
said the resolution would greatly
handicap" the President in negotiat-
ing peace terms.
1T forces the Presidents hand and
ties one hand as we'll" he said, adding
that it gives Germany the whip
hand" in settling claims and the OPP
portunity to recoup her losses by
coming to America and borrowing
American money"
Senator Underwood. Of Alabama
the Democratic leader, described the
resolution as political surrender"
"We have fought great war to
successful conclusion" Underwood
declared, land now all that our sol

surrendered in the payment OF pol't'
cal understanding"

Hit at Referendum Again.

Jefferson City, June 3o.-By vote
of II to IL the senate today sent to
engrossment substitute measure for
a proposed amendment repeating the
initiative and referendum amendment
to the state constitution. The origi-
nal measure was introduced by SEN
ator Bennett OF Dallas. He briefly
outlined his reasons for advocating the
measure, declaring the present
amendment has been hindrance
rather than help to good govern
ment., He is satisfied, he said, that
the people of the state will vote to
repeal it if they are given an oppor-
tunity to do so.
Senator Gray offered the substitute
measure Endorsed by the senate. The
only change it makes in the amend
ment is to increase the per cent OF
voters. in two-thirds of the congress
sional districts to invoke either the
initiative or referendum. In the Gray
measure It is sci at IS per cent tor
both. Five per cent in eleven con-
gressional districts can now invoke
the referendum and 8 per cent the in
itiative.
Yesterday the senate engrossed
bill prohibitin the expenditure OF
money for circulating referendum pc
titions.
The senate evidently is determined
to legislate along the line of making
il more difficult to invoke the refer
endum in the future.

Would Repeal Judicial Law.

Jefferson City, July I.-Senator
Hostetter of Pike introduced bill in
the senate today repeating the bill
passed at the regular session rear
ranging and reducing the judicial cir
cults in the state and separating eight
Democratic circuit judges from their
offices. The bill not only repeats the
law in question, but re-enacts the old
law fixing the districts and the times
for holding circuit court.
The senator said that since the act
of the regular session was suspended
by the operation of referendum petit
tons, the only way out Of very bad
judicial situation was to pass his bill
There is some question, according
to lawyers, whether the special ses-
sion can repeal bill passed at the
regular session when It has been sub
mitted to. referendum vote.

SAW THE WOUNDED SLAIN
WITNESSES Testify Against German
Officers At War Trial.

Leipzig, July I.-There was a dra-
matte scene in the war criminals court
today when witness from Alsace
testified that he had seen Maj. Benno
Won Crusius, who is on trial charge
with murder, shoot down wounded
French soldiers in cold blood
THAT is lie, / never killed hui
man being in my life shouted the &C
cused officer, leaping to his feet.
Won Crusius is on trial jointly with
Lieut.. Gen. Karl Stenger. Stenger
was accused by France with giving
orders to take no prisoners, and Won
Crusius was alleged to have put the
order into effect. Both defendants
denied that any such orders had been
given.
More than fifty witnesses, most of
them from Alsace and Lorraine, were
summoned to Leipsic to testify
against the two German officers.
The Alsatians have woven strong
net of testimony closely about both
officers. One witness said he had seen
Won Crusius with a revolver in his
hand stalking among the wounded
French soldiers on the battle field,
putting them to death. -, b..
,The4offenses with which the two
officers are charged are alleged to
have taken place in the. first four
months of the war, when the French
invaded Germany and there was hard
| fighting in the mountains of Alsace
and Lorraine. :
A German army surgeon testified
that he had treated Won Crusius in
1918 for nervous breakdown and
that he believed that the collapse was
due to the strain imposed upon him
by the orders of his chief. Won CRU
sius commanded brigade in Stem
gers army.
Stenger. stern old Prussian and a
typical German army officer, sat in
court wearing his iron cross and star
ing straight ahead. He showed no
sign Of emotion as testimony was
given that he had ordered wounded
French soldiers to be killed.

People Forced to Pay Higher Taxes
Despite Big Surplus.

I. Jefferson City, July 2.-Despite the
fact that there now is the largest bal
anec in the state treasury in he his
tory Of the. state, the people will be
forced to pay higher taxes this year
because of the job bills passed by the
Republican legislature and the failure
to make material reductions in tax
levies. III
There is now 100000 more in the
treasury than at any previous time,
according to a report by State Treas
urer Thompson.
The balance now shows over $780,
100000, which has been collected from
revenue measures passed under the
Gardner administration and which
tends to prove that higher taxes,
which the present administration
would burden the people with, are un-
necessary The receipts for the
month Of june were $I2,I37,447-4S.
The heavy receipts were largely due
to payments under the state income
tax Law and the cooperation franchise
tax act. Incomes alone contributed
some $s,ooo,ooo. The disbursements

WOMEN ASK FOR JURY DUTY;I
SCORN CURTAIN FOR ANKLES
Sheriff Knott Upholds Plea of Delegation Before
Albany Legislators Saying 1t Is Impossible to Get
Intelligent Men to Serve in New York City.

<.omen on juries why not now?' said
air Rorke. There is something radi-
sally wrong when you cannot get the
so-called good men of the locality to
serve In New York city they are too
busy chasing dollars. There is no real
reason why women should not serve as
Jurors. They are citizens and thou
sands of them are taxpayers. Women
are just as well qualified to think for
themselves as men. and ] venture 10 say
that the average woman is more intel
ligent than the average juror sitting in
New York city trial cases"
Current Events Club of New York, de-
clared that IL is absurd to argue that
jury duty would interfere with a
woman's home duties.
"Women do not remain at home all
the time" she said. 1T would be a
poor housekeeper who could not arrange
her affairs in such a manner that she
could not do jury duty. Men can leave
their business to serve as jurors and
still their business seems to run along"
Mrs. Lillian Sire of the Women's
Democratic Club said that there would
be no women jury dodgers. Miss
Catherine Starbucl< OF the League of
Women Voters registered her organiza-
ton in favor OF the bill
There was no opposition. but amend
ments were suggested permitting exemp-
tions for mothers OF young children

written evidence that no other capable
person was available within the State.
Alderman Bruce NJ. Faconer introduced
yesterday in the Board of Aldermen two
resolutions asking for an investigation
of the manner in which the Calfornians
services we're obtained Ono called for
an explanation from Mayor Hyland and
the other for an explanation from John

were tabled BY the Tammany majority.
The resolutions asked that the Mayor

nance had been complied with Ten ques-
tions were asked OF the Corporation

Among them were the following

pensation, fee. emolument or reward. or
any promise Of compensation. fee, emol-
umeat or reward. or anything of value
or personal advantage from Mr.. William
II. Hearst or from Mr.. Dc Ford. Mr..
Hearst's counsel. or from any person or
source whatsoever, except from the city
OF New York?
"Who first made the suggestion to or
approached Senator Johnson with rela-
tion to the possibility of his being en-
ployed by the city OF New York?
"Will you relate from the beginning
the complete circumstances which led up
to and resulted in Senator Johnson's
being employed by the city and what
part If any. Mr.. Hearst. Mr.. De Ford
or any person representing Mr. Hearst
had to do with the circumstances?
For the first day since Senator John
sons arrival both the Senator and the
Corpora tion Counsel were silent yester-
day on the subject OF transit. Both will
go TO Albany to-day, however. where

ton to Gov Miller's bill before the leg
