rRenubIicsn A. p. Leased Wire1

iHeQuplIC6n ~ Ts h-GcSC0 WI "
NEW YORK. Feb. "a half million
dollar libel suit against the Chicago
opera company was filed in federal
court today by counsel for Madam
Johanna Gadski. wife Of Captain
Hans Tauscher. German subject.
Madame Gadski charges that the
opera company, after contracting with
her TO sign the role of Isolde" in two
Chicago performances Of Tristan and
Isolde" at $500 each, publicly can
ceIled the contract on the ground that
patrons of grand opera would refuse
to hear her sing because of the pres
ence in America of her husband. a
former German army officer.
Madam GadslSi asserts cancellation
of the contract and the attendant pub
lication of "false and malicious" re-
ports caused her the loss OF the stip-
ulated $4,000 and have destroyed her
earning power. which heretofore has
been very large" so that she is with
out employment and win be unable
to obtain employment in her pro-
fession.
Madame Gadski described herself as
a citizen of Germany and a resident
of New York with her daughter since
1919. Concerning her husband, she
asserts he devoted the period of his
residence in Germany during the war
10 the allcviation OF suffering among
American prisoners and that he has
come here at the invitation of the
United States government, TO reveal
processes of metal manufacture in
vented in Germany"

COOP BILLS
ATTACK
Of SENATOR.
BRANDEGEE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-Proposed
provisions of cooperative marketing
bills now before the senate exempt
ing farmer organizations from the
Sherman antitrust law were at
tackled In the senate today by Sen
ator Brandegee, Republican of Con-
necticutt who asserted congress was
going far astray when 1t said in legis-
lation that an act by a farmer is
not a crime, but becomes a crime
when done by 4 manufacturer.
He declared that the country need
not expect relief from higher prices
through the passage of the bill II the
farmers as it's beneficiaries choose 30
inflict high prices. He added that
he believed there was grave danger
Of corner in the food and clothing
supplies IF the proposed exemptions
are enacted into law
II do not know" he continued,
whether the Sherman law should be
maintained, but / do know that no
amount Of apologizing, explaining or
attempts to justify can satisfy me
that we should not have laws which
are uniform in their operations"
He said ''he did not take much
stock in the statements that priv
ileges granted through the bill would
not be abused by the farmers as
much as though the same grants of
authority were made to other classes
of people. He said that human ma
ture had not changed and he did not
believe that the farmers had a higher
sense of honor than the manufacturers
or other business folk with respect
to taking advantage of legal methods
accorded them.
The attack came at the end of a
days debate on the bill, mostly be-
tween lawyer members of the SEN
ate. none of whom appeared TO agree
with any other as TO exactly the
scope of the bills. The house bill. the
oretically before the senate, is re-
garded as being more liberal in it's
exemptions than the senate substi-
tute or the measures submitted by
several senator's giving authority for
the creation of cooperative associa-
tons.
Senator Walsh, Democrat of Mon
tana, spoke tor several hours on the
legal phases involved in the meas
ures and engaged almost continually
in colloquies with other senators as
to what provisions of the various bills
meant. He believed, as many other
senators said they did, in the prin-
ciples of cooperative marketing, but
declared too great exemption were
dangerous and warned the senate to
consider well before passing the
legislation, action which he predicted
would be taken.

100000 damage suit alleging seduc-
tion filed by Miss Frances G. Birk-
head against Lee N. Russell, gov
ernor of Mississippi in federal court
here today was declared by prom
inent officials to presage one OF
the bitterest and most sensational
legal and political fights in the
states history.
Governor Russell refused TO dis
cuss the suit further than TO de-
clare it the most damnable black
mail conspiracy in the history of
Mississippi"
In her bill Of particulars, Miss
Birkhead asks $4,000 on each OF
two counts. The first, alleging

her great damage, in the sum OF
$4,000"
In the second count Miss Birkhead
alleges she underwent an illegal
operation "at the instigation OF
Governor Russell, which ruined and
wrecked her health, causing her to
suffer untold anguish and pain and

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The ad-
dress made by President Harding at
the concluding session today OF the
arms conference follows:
Mr.. Chairman, and Members of the
Conference:
Nearly three months ago 1t was
my privilege to utter to you sincerest
words of welcome to the capital of
our republic, to suggest the spirit in
which you were invited and to init
mate the atmosphere in which you
were asked to confer.
I'm a very. general way, perhaps,
l ventured to express a hope for the
things toward which our aspirations
led us.
To-day it is my greater privilege,
and even greater pleasure, to come
to make acknowledgment. It is one
of the supreme compensations of life
to contemplate worth while accom-
plishment.
1T cannot be other than seemly
for me, as the only chief of govern
ment so circumstanced as TO be able
to address the conference, to speak
congratulations and TO offer the
thanks of our nation, our people;
perhaps I dare volunteer to utter
them for the world. My own gratifi
cation is beyond my capacity to eX-
press.
This conference has wrought a
truly great achievement. 1t is haz-
ardouss sometimes to speak in super.
Iatives and win be restrained. But
I will say, with every confidence, that
the faith plighted here today, kept In
national honor, will mark the begin
ming of new and better epoch in
human progress.
World Feast Of Peace
stripped to the simplest fact,
what is the spectacle which has in
spired new hope for the world,
gathered about this table nine great
nations of the earth-not all, TO be
sure but those most directly con-
cerned with the problems at hand
have met and have conferred on
questions of great import. and COM
mon concern, on problems menacing
their peaceful relationship, on bur-
dens threatening a common peril In
the revealing light of the public
opinion of the world, without sur
render of sovereignty, without inn
paired nationality or offended rla-
tional pride, a solution has been
found in unanimity and today's adj
is marked by rejoicing IN
the things accomplished. IT the
world has hungered for new assur-
ance il may feast at the banquet
which the conference has spread:

In Conference OF Peace
Than OF War" Harding

yet there is scant appreciation how
marvelously you have wrought. When
the days were dragging and agree
ments were delayed, when there were
obstacles within and hindrances
without, few stopped to realize that
here was a conference Of sovereign
powers where only unanimous agree
ment could be made the rule. Ma
jjorities could not decide without inn
pinging national rights. There were
no yictors to command no van-
auished to yield. All had voluntarily
to agree in translating the conscience
of our civilization and give concrete
expression to world opinion.
And you have agreed In spite OF
all difficulties and the agreements
are proclaimed to the world: No new
standards of national honors have
been sought. 1t is not pretended that
the pursuit of peace and the limita-
ton of armament are now conceits,
or that the conference is a new con-
ception either in settlement of war
or in writing the conscience OF inter-
national relationship. Indeed, it is
not new to have met in the realiza-
ton Of wars supreme penalties. The
Hague conventions are examples OF
the one, the conferences ofsVienna, OF
Berlin, of Versailles, are outstanding
instances of the other.
Just Peace Best Guarantee
1.-THE Hague conventions were de-
feated by the antagonism of one
strong power whose indisposition 10
cooperate andssustain led it to one
Of the supreme tragedies which have
come to national eminence. Vienna
and Berlin sought peace founded on
the injustices of war and sowed the
seeds Of future conflict, and hatred
was armed where confidence was
stifled.
TT is fair to say that human prog
ress. the growing intimacy or inter-
national relationship, developed
communication and transportation
attended by a directing world opin-
ion have set the stage more 1aVor-
ably here. You have met in that
calm deliberation and that deterln-

OFFICERS HOLD THEORY
RIVAL FOR AFFECTIONS
OF MOVIE STAR KILLED
Los ANGELES DIRECTOR

LOS ANGELES, Feb. GA new
theory as to the exact manner IN
which William Desmond Taylor was
slain last Wednesday night was ad-
vanced tonight. Detectives said they
were convinced the director was
standing with his hands above his
head when a 3S calibre pistol was
pressed to his side, a few inches be-
low the left arm pit and toward
the back.
They based this theory on a care
ful examination today of the cloth
ing worn by the director at the time
he was shot and killed. The clothing
about the hole made by the bullet
was powder marked in such a man
ner that the officers said they be-
lieved the weapon had been against
the garment when it was fired
The holes in the coat and vest do
not correspond as to location when
the coat is adjusted normally. When
the sleeves were raised the hole in
the coat was brought up TO the hole
In the vest The officers also stated
this indicated Taylor was unaware of
his danger when he was killed as
had been suggested previously when
ii was indicated ha had been shot
from the back.
Detectives experimental in shoot
ing at cloth from various distances
and announced the results as affirm
ative OF their theory. An unidenti-
fled party of men, was driven TO
the vicinity of the apartments Of
William Desmond Taylor. film di-
rector the night he was murdered
according to q story told the police
today by a taXicab driver.
What else the chauffeur told the

but it was known that in the search
for the slayer of the motion picture
director. the detectives questioned
six men today. These include
Charles Eyeton, general manager OF
the Famous Players La sky com
pany, by which Taylor has been en-
ployed, and Henry Peavey. negro
house servant of the dead director.
The questioning OF the four un-
named men including the chauffeur
was in turtherance of the search for

Strathmore, the missing former but
Ter for Taylor.

said to have been aroused after read
