DUvAL'S SHERIFF 0USTED BY GOVERNOR
SHERIFF AWAITING RETURN OF
GOVERNOR SMALL TO CAPITAL
TO SERVE WARRANT FOR ARREST

! ingness to await his return to Spring
field upset the plans laid last night for
q hearing on habeas corpus proceedings
before Cook county court.
Governor Smalrs attitude toward "un-
conditional surrender to Sangamon au-
thorities waiting to arrest him, had been
made known to Sheriff Henry Mester to-
night.
There is no desire to embassies or
humiliate the governor, the sheriff and
''We will not go to Cook county to serve
the warrant. He can come here and ar
range his bonds if he has decided to
abandon his idea of protesting against ar
rest"
Friends of Governor Small said that
they believed he had not given up his
intention to peacefully resist arrest, -
adding that he would probably exhaust
all privileges he could obtain from the
courts before making the surrender.

cut off d'Annunzio's food supply and
Italian warships blockaded Fiume from
the sea.
Had Army of 100000.
D'Annunzio put the city on scant
rations and continued to issue defiant
manifestos and declare he would
never leave Fiume alive. Many
italian sailors and soldiers Joined his
forces until, at one time, he was re-
ported to have an army of more than
100000 men. He occupied several
other places in the disputed region, in
Guiding Sussak, Risniak. Durazzo,
Trau. Castua and cara and patrolled
the Dalmatian coast with his warships.
On January 1, 1920, when the SUI
preme allied council disbanded in
Paris the Adriatic question was still
unsettled Last March, Italy strength
ened the blockade whereupon d Anun-
zio proclaimed Fiume "a free and in
dependent state.' In announcing this
to the allied powers he said the ac-
ton did not mean Fumes ''renuncia-
ton" of Italy. He also summoned a
constituent assembly to meet an order
the Fiume national council and left
d'Annunzio as chief of state. foreign
minister and commander of the army.
Italy Turns "Bout Face
Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts were
in progress between Italy and Jugo-
Slavia, to compose their differences.
These led to the parley between dele
gates representing both nations at
Rappallo early in November 1920, and
a settlement of the long vexing Adri-
attic question on the following basis:
1.-The Istrian frontier to be con-
troiled by the Jugo-Slavs.
2-Fiume to be independent, with
territorial contiguity to Italy.
Cara to be under italian suze-
rainty.
4-Islands of Cherso, Lussin and
Unie to be granted to Italy.
The treaty was signed by the en-
voys of both nations on November 10.
1t was later approved by the foreign
relations committee of the italian
chamber of deputies. D'Annunzio was
admonished to accept it's terms. He
replied that to do so would be sui
eide" for Italy. Jugo-Slavia thereupon
appealed to Italy to Gust d'Annunzio
from Fiume and Italian regular troops
surrounded the city.
On December 1 d'Annunzio declared
a state of war with Italy.

JUDGE REED DISSENTS AGAIN
Takes Aliens Policy In Withdrawing
From Higgins Opinion.

Judge Clyde NJ. Reed has again
dissented from the decision of his col
leagues on the court of INDUSTRIAL re-
lations. After Judge W. L. Higgins
had written a statement regarding the
wage and rate fixing policies of the
court, Judge Reed wrote an entirely
different opinion.
Judge Higgins took the position
that the tribunal which fixed wages
should fix rates and that both cases
might be heard jointly. Judge Reed
dissented with a report to the COVER
nor that such a policy is not followed.
He said his criticism of the Higgins
report was because of its inaccuracy
and because it expressed views on
legislative matters.
Interest in the latest Reed dissent is
in the fact that the issue involved
concerns an important administration
program before the legislature this
winter. Judge Higgins review of the
court work makes clear that a divi-
sion of the tribunal for hearing Of rate
and wage cases is unnecessary. Judge
Reeds dissent is in support of the
governors policy to establish a new
public utilities commission to hear
rate cases.

Seizure of the port of F'iuine in Sep
TENDER. 1919, by Gabrielle d'Annunzio,
Italian poet warrior, at the head of
5000 volunteer grenadiers and arditi,
was the dramatic climax to a contro-
versy reaching back to the Treaty of
London. concluded in the spring of
1915 between Italy and the allied pow
ers. under which Italy entered the war
against the central powers.
, The treaty assigned the part or
Tyrol south of the Bremen Pass, as
well as Trieste, GorizIa, Istria and a
section of the Dalmatian literal to
Italy, but gave Fiume, the seaport
of Hungary, to Croatia
Italians Demanded City.
When the war ended, Italian ma
tionalists, including dAnnunzlo' ue-
handed that Fiume, with its pre-
ponderant Italian population. should
be given to Italy, an act that would
have required the revision of the treaty
of London. The Italians. however, in
voked the principle of ''self-determi-
nation enunciated by President VIII
son and pointed to the fact that the
population of Fiume, upon the DISCO
luton of the Austro- Hungarian en-
pire, had, proclaimed thru their ma
tional council the union of Fiume with
Italy.
Croatia, now a part of Jugo-Slavia.
opposed the claim on the ground that
Sussak. an important suburb OF F1ume
and part of the city itself, was over
whelmingly Jugo-Slav. In addition the
Croatians charged that, whereas Italy
already had an excess of valuable
ports, their country and the adjoining
lands needed F'iume as their only out
let to the sea. This position won the
support of President Wilson, who was
subsequently denounced by d'Annunzio
and his sympathizers as the only OBJ
stacle to the realization of Italy's
aspirations. President Wilson's view,
however, was shared by the British
and French.
Premier Quit Peace Table.
Backed by Italian public opinion
the Italian delegation to the Paris
peace conference, headed by Premier
Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino,
refused to yield Italy's claims. In
April, 1919, the crisis came to a head
when President Wilson threatened to
